Hi Carol, Chris thinks that there is an 11 or 12 hour time difference, New Zealand being ahead. If your friend who lives in the UK was to Skype her friend in New Zealand at 9am. it would be 8 or 9pm in New Zealand. I hope this is clear to you, if not then ring me. from your friend Daring Dawn xxx Good morning all I got friend in new zealand she wants to skype her friend mary in manchester she is strugling she asked me how do you work the british times out for her to skype mary in chester but I couldn't help her at all I told her I have no idea at all I told her not on skype so can't help her infact I do not know how many hours they are either in front or behind in new zealand so felt awful couldn't help maria in new zealand to skype her friend mary in chester so asking anybody on here if they understand the times in new zealand so for example if mary from chester wanted to skype maria in new zealand what the best times she should skype her thank you Love Carol xxxx
