Woman strips after wolf whistle

WELLINGTON (Reuters) - Road workers in a small New Zealand town got their wish granted when a woman stripped saying she was fed up with their wolf-whistles.

The Israeli tourist was about to use an ATM in the main street of Kerikeri, in the far north of the country, when the men whistled, the New Zealand Press Association reported.

She calmly stripped off, used the cash machine, before getting dressed and walking away.

The woman told police she didn't take too kindly to the whistling from the men repairing the road.

"She said she had thought 'bugger them, I'll show them what I've got'," Police Sergeant Peter Masters told NZPA.

"She gave the explanation that she had been ... pestered by New Zealand men. She's not an unattractive looking lady," Masters said.

"She was taken back to the police station and spoken to and told that was inappropriate in New Zealand."

Ermmm... nothing to add here, sorry. I'm not sure whether to head to New Zealand or Israel...

Like I said, I was torn... between NZ, where she did it, and Israel, where she's from.

Israel's neighbors... nope, that wouldn't go over well. Not at all...

I saw that in the paper here.

It seems a strange way to show that you are annoyed with the wolf whistling - i bet those guys will never stop now they have had success (admittedly a strange type of success).

And i am not sure if NZ is particularly bad for wolf whistling etc anyway - i thought builders did that the world over?

Anyway, im heading out to find a nice spot by a cash machine and see what comes by...
