I flew into Christchurch a while ago. Were I not a bloke’ I’d have wept at the view: the Southern Alps stretching southwards; the Canterbury Plains patchwork; a glimpse of the Port Hills and Lyttleton; and then the beautiful city. And some dope in Wellington wants to stick a Wellywood sign on a hill. The sign might as well say ‘a dope lives here’, or ‘the people here put up with almost anything’, or ‘common sense wanted, apply below’, or ‘The Warehouse, where everyone gets a bargain’.
