Flag?

[Tazz]

new york?

What about it? If you're trying to think of somewhere worse I would have gone for South America. They just don't get the same media attention.

Man, there's something in the water at these S and A places

[Swoop]

Maybe it was because there was no enclave like on the North Shore

Which particular one? There's Glenfield, Browns Bay or Whangaparaoa...

Some nice original features like the claw foot block bath, with virtual taps.

Bro! She's up on blocks. Did someone steal your wheels?

I hope they've checked out the price of "Paradise" property values ...



Paradise is not (and never will be) CHEAP ...

For a mere 40 k more, leave the Otahuhu villa to the 'overseas investors" and head to Queenstown.... must be able to get $14.50 there doing something.
This is a bargain by Auckland standards, not as much 'character" though....

For the same price ... a half hour drive from there ...

This flag would seem to represent the majority.
Gets my vote.

Would'nt mind seeing something like this,
With a white border around the "NZ" "ZN"
This would be a simple change as it only
Removes the Union Jack and replaces it
With the NZ logo

We had that for the Empire games in Christchurch but with more white included - it was very popular at the time! - Look it up!

Links to images:https://www.google.co.nz/search?q=Em...FQIYpgodRW0G_Q think I could live with that.

Yep, that would look great if the Union Jack was replaced with that exact format.

I could live with it too.

As for all the other options, none of them excite me at all.

Most of them just look to busy and complicated and unnecessary.

Playing the devil's advocate for the moment - why are we so keen to throw away our heritage?
There is a lot of comment about removing the Union Jack and "..cutting our ties with Britain".
Why?

A good portion of our citizens have Scots, Welsh and English ancestors as the initial waves of white immigrants were poor yeoman farmers from these areas.
Our laws, culture and societal structure owe an awful lot to these people.

So whereas I have no problem with the recognition of where we are on the planet (the southern cross) and the polynesian infulences (koru), why are we so keen to abandon our history?
