Papanui

Back with you shortly.

The winner of the quiz this morning, Tony McCaffrey of Papanui.

A lot of you got the answer in the end, but Tony was first.

Congratulations, Tony.

I am so dear,

but the black pudding has gone from, now I think they make it on Papanui here somewhere.

Were the Verkerks Dutch or were they German?

They were Dutch.

Very interesting story, this one, and it's causing lots of angst in, um, the South Island.

Residents of the Christchurch suburb of Papanui are outraged about plans to chop down trees they consider to be living memorials to soldiers.

Condell Avenue is one of 16 streets lined with trees that were planted as a memorial in the 1940s.

But a long-awaited street upgrade will see them ripped out and only replaced on one side of the street.

Now, Simon Dines is the president of the Papanui RSA.

Simon, it's great to have you here.

Thanks, um, for the, for the opportunity.
