As if anything is capable of withstanding the forces metered out over the past 9 months. When did England last have a quake of any note ! Lurking. My post was more to point out that Chch doesn't put steel in unlike Nelson, and actually my brothers town suffered mild damage from an earthquake in I think 2004. Half the chimneys in the town collapsed. That was in Kent	gary67 (56)

I can appreciate what people are going through and my heart goes out to them but at the same time I also appreciate talent and it is amazing how much talent is out there. Laughter is the best medicine they say	Gobe1 (6290)

Mind you after watching Blitz Street, Kent probably felt the shock waves from those V2 rockets and we think we have it bad. Lurking.	Lurking (218)
1210391	2011-06-21 00:56:00	It certainly did according to my folks both of who lived on the front line at Folkestone you could only get nearer to France by going up the road to Dover. My Dad and his mates used to sit on the hills above town and watch the V2 going by almost in touching distance	gary67 (56)

What is going on down under this 16,000 year old extinct volcano anyway. Crossed over to Europe through Dover and noticed all those Ute Houses or whatever they are called, very fascinating things to say the least. Lurking.	Lurking (218)

1210394	2011-06-21 03:47:00	OK . I have to ask . How many members of PressF1 were actually born in NZ as I was? Not that it makes any difference as all citizens are Kiwis but I was curious . A couple of weeks ago I was invited out to a do and found that of the 29 people there 24 were imports .	Snorkbox (15764)

A couple of weeks ago I was invited out to a do and found that of the 29 people there 24 were imports. I was. As was my father, and his father, and his father, and his father. Rellies going back to before the clearing of the Hundred Mile Bush. Which is where they settled and farmed for many years. Some are still farming (or doing farming-related activities) down that way. But everyone is an import if you go back far enough....	johcar (6283)
1210396	2011-06-21 04:18:00	Morioris were not an import so I'm told. For the record I'm a fifth generation Kiwi and was born in Wellington.	Snorkbox (15764)
1210397	2011-06-21 04:23:00	I'd be very surprised to find the Morioris evolved here.... :)	johcar (6283)
