Don't dream it - live it!

Angus in his latest post has been dissing the Hutt (don't worry Ive told him to stop being a hater) Well I'll admit it, I'll put it out there - Im quite a fan of the Hutt - Petone (Lighthouse Cinema, Chow, the beach etc) and also Eastbourne rock, sure some other bits arent that flash - but thats character isnt it? Admittedly they do also have a weird temple where people bow to the gods everyday - sorry its now called "Westfields Shopping Mall" but still its not all bad.

However, the best thing about the Hutt of course is their billboard campaign to encourage people to move out there. My favourites are below - you have to love a city with a sense of humour. I still think Levin should take the piss with a big signs saying "Sorry we're closed" "Back in 10" or "Last one out, turn off the lights". Of course my all time favourite is the Wellington suburb of Ngaio - "The end is Ngaio". Comedy gold.

Enjoy - You can see the rest of the Hutt billboards here
