Why does GBPVR exist?

[JonnyCam]

One of the only problems I have with Wellington is the stupid roads up the sides of hills which are barely wide enough for 1 car - let along 2 with parking!

The wind and the rain are an issue (together, on the way to work - not a great combo!) It's been terrible for rain here lately, and I can hear it's started again now.

But when the sun is shining, and I can take a walk down the waterfront, I dont think it can be beaten (except maybe Dunedin)

I remember reading a post about gbpvr on another forum that the poster stated he thought it was a bit rich that it was name after the author's home country. I didnt have an account on that forum to correct him or her but needless to say the poster was for USA. Im not having a go at people from the USA but they are the first start the flag waving at anything that comes out their country.

Exploiting that tangent; I worked for a while for a company called UKF which was somtimes referred to in news articles as United Kingdom Fertilisers......hey why should the reporter care that it was Dutch owned and UKF actually stands for Unie van Kunstmestfabrieken
