But not everyone knows Russell was the capital.
Okiato really. "Pedant" but they have a sign up so better give them their due.
It wasn't Russell but Hobson did change its name to Russell (I believe) but not sure when it became known as Old Russell or changed back to Okiato...
Russell was known as the hell hole of the pacific. Full of whalers /sailors looking for hookers who were available I believe. Likely to have have been a fun town. Was there last week and it seems to have quietened down a bit. I think that there was a sailor but he wasn't my type and the hookers were completely absent.
--Careful, that's my family you're talking about. I'm a gentleman so I won't say which profession.

Yep, the Duke was awesome, haven’t bee since it went upmarket
I think that you would approve. We stayed at Kauri Cliffs then went to the Duke. I actually preferred the Duke, mostly in terms of price (dinner, bed, and breakfast deal) had a great room, big balcony to sit and drink on, and it's still got a pretty chilled pub feel to it.

Self-avowed anti-racist paid megabucks to fight racism turns out to be a racist.
Never saw that one coming..

Not fired.

@tim it's ridiculous. You simply can't say anything online anymore
Correct mate. I advise mocking this premise/strategy in private conversations wherever and whenever you can.
And for God's sake teach your children why it's wrong, cannot last and ruins good and innocent people's lives
ALL of humanity's most tragic events use this silencing and fear as a tactic to cause untold harm.

This was covered on Netflix's High on the Hog.
Once the presenter started blubbling I was done.
Shame as it was interesting for a while.

haven't spent much time in but thought this was the best place for this
fair enough if they just dont want the picture any more but the reasons seem bizarre considering, according to Wiki, 48 countries have gained independence from the commonwealth during her Reign....hardly the figurehead of colonialism

@victor-meldrew Right there is the most ignorant, racist shite you could get. A classic example of anti-racists having a prejudiced view of the world .
Ignore the history and how mathematics developed, ignore the current situation, basically have a white supremacist view of the world, project that shite, and bask in the ignorance of critical race theory. A level of cognitive dissonance right up there with the religiously devoted. -

It's beyond stupid.
But minor potential pedanticism... independence would from the Empire not the Commonwealth?
Thought Commonwealth were just a bunch of former colonies that kind of help each other out a bit and occasionally hold a special Olympics. -
@booboo i will concede to finding the commonwealth and empire a bit confusing
I would have said from the empire but i didn't really think the empire existed in any real sense anymore...shall we just say they've gained self governance
