I don't. I live in Australian Eastern Standard Time/ Australian Eastern 
Daylight Time (UTC+10/UTC+11). I'm not sure I even knew about the 
Chatham Islands until I looked up NZ time zones on Wikipedia. Wikipedia 
puts the 2013 population of the Chatham Islands at 600, NZ 2013 
population ~4.2 million, so I guess the odds of the OP being from the 
Chatham Islands is pretty small :)

We like our oddball time zones hereabouts. As well as the ones you 
mentioned, there's South Australia which is UTC+9:30/UTC+10:30 and the 
Northern Territory that's stuck on UTC+9:30. Lord Howe Island has a 
half-hour standard time and a half-hour DST shift: UTC+10:30/ UTC+11:00. 
There's an unofficial UTC+8:45 zone near the Western Australia/South 
Australia border (just a few small towns) and a small pocket of western 
New South Wales that keeps South Australian time.
