Guest guest Posted July 1, 2006 Report Share Posted July 1, 2006 Not a bad pun. Moa (sing. and pl.) is pronounced more like MORE than MOWER. You can say “there ain’t no moa moa”, but not “there’s a [lawn] moa in my garden shed!” This, at least, is the theory. It may be a while before most New Zealanders break a lifetime’s habit and stop talking about ‘extinct mowers.’ The Valley Vegan............Peter <metalscarab wrote: Hi Peter >You want a Moa?

Guest guest Posted July 4, 2006 Report Share Posted July 4, 2006 Hi Peter/Peter It is Bow Bells, because the church is in the district of Bow.
