(TGap; I used to live in a place called Maitai River Valley - Cheers!) I have to giggle though; its now Feb 7th here. Waitangi was yesterday! :lol: In a break in tradition, no politicians or royalty had eggs/dirt/abuse hurled at them this year :lol: (Waitangi is a bit of a controversial/debateable event to 'celebrate' to many people; the annual picking of an old scab it seems. To this day legal battles are being fought to try to win back much Maori land taken by force & in legal 'fineprint' by the Crown in its early Colonising phase) A good time to stay away from the area perhaps? heehee Cheers! Tama :)
