That is fucked.
Either "city" - I can imagine would look good from the safety of sitting in a (low profile) boat in the middle of the respective rivers. But get ashore... the only thing you're looking at is the pavement, to avoid dog(?)-shit.
Having lived in the UK for the last decade or so - I found it the opposite of NZ. UK - the coastal towns are shitholes, and the river-towns are beautiful.
UK river towns - Henley-on-Thames, Goring/Streatley
NZ - I present Hamilton, Whanganui, Palmy-Nth -

In saying all that it is far prettier than the tron.

I don't know what is more crazy? That both those two are fighting for first place or that Whanganui is the current holder??
How does Wellington and Auckland not walk this??? Christchurch is flat and dull so I can see that reason there. Even Dunedin is nicer than Whanganui and Tron

Meant Hewie got a look in which kept whatever the equivalent of ranting on the internet in 1981 was fully active.We called them pubs at the time. Everybody was still on the booze but it was all in one room and ended in punching. Was Deans versing Hewson after that?
I remember Halligan though, deserved a go.
And what turns up in Stuff?

Stunning article. Because who knew time travel existed? Appears this lady from 1950 has just arrived.
Girls school boss hits out at 'unfair' burden on working mothers
Girls must be taught to expect their future partners to share the burden of running a household equally, the head of a private school group has said.

what a shitty headline, because:
The way it works is players compete for the same trophy, play alongside each other in the same field and courses are prepared to keep play as even as possible.
So, on a long par three for example, the women’s tee is set up so they should be playing a long iron onto the green – just as the men would from their tee positions further back.
NZG are diligent in the way they structure the course. You wouldn’t have a man hitting a mid iron, and a woman a long iron off their respective tees. That wouldn’t be fair and the idea, if the course has been set up in an optimum way, regardless of gender the better player should win with both genders hitting like-for-like shots around the course.
For that to be true, they would tee off the same tees.

@taniwharugby Ms Cato No2’s b/f is a Royal Marine, when asked about female recruits to the corps was fine “as long as they have the same training and meet the same tests and targets as the men”. The training they go through and what they achieve is incredibly impressive but it is not the same as the men. This does not impress the guys.
