I was told that Wh is now pronounced as F, as in Fungarei, but not all the
time... no-one could tell me where to find Fungarei Farf! :-)

Colourless? What, like Whanganui, Pahiatua, Tauranga etc? How can you say

We have good friends from college days in Oregon who live in Boring.
They tell me Dull and Boring are now "twinned" -- the Boring Community group
approved the relationship at their meeting Tuesday night.  Our friends are
visiting Dull in the Fall.

In the '60s we all went to college in the wettest part of Oregon, just north
of a town called Drain.  There must be a town somewhere looking for a mate?
Hole-in-the-Floor?

New Zealand place-names are so colourless (boring?).
