Don't mind me I'm just stomping my gumboots around about the poor writing the article had. Maybe it was tongue in cheek but.....he could have at least got things right on all aspects. I'm researching Wellington Zoo at the moment. I know there will be people out there with memories of the Zoo from way back.

It's appalling and how the heck did it make to print and in the New Zealand Herald of all places.
