I reckon they like whatever gives more clicks to their website to keep the advertising dollars rolling in.

Kind of ironic that Auckland Pistol club is having problems with their neighbors objecting to noise and this shooting club gets the green light.

I imagine if they opened a gym next to the wanker he'd complain too; "martial arts? Only idiots who think they are Rambo want to learn martial arts. Don't they know the Queen will protect them?!"
Or a car dealership "Volkswagen? those are fascist cars! I brought my kids here so they could frolic freely away from poor people, and not be corrupted by fascists!"
I imagine he takes issue with New Zealanders being able to fish in rivers without paying the land owner, and the fact we go duck shooting without getting dressed up in tweed or employing a butler to row onto the lake to pick them up.

I bet when he did clay bird shooting he had a manservant to load the gun and hand it to him. Sorry if I sound bitter but I know quite a few English people here who are stuck up beyond belief and wont stop telling people how things ought to be done. I reckon we deport the lot of the pretentious snobs to make room for refugees who will actually be thankful to be here.

Not all Englishmen are snobs tommygun. Pengy and Scouser are good examples that Pom's can exist without being snobs.

yes but I am sure they were "Proper Kiwis" in past lives !!

Apparently the site of the proposed range is currently a motocross track? Funny as if that's true, shooting range will seem nice and quiet then!

I know, I know some good ones too, the split seems to be 50/50.

Upperclass vs yobo's. Pengy and Scouser are definitely your run of the mill yobo's

That would be a nice twist to the story

An awful lot came from north of the boarder too during the land clearances. Many of those were wonderers hence the proliferation of kiltie names round the country.

I must admit that I'd hate a pistol club only 1.5km from my tranquil house too. Could get expensive.

NIMBY I think.
