HP gets data centre fever in NZ

Not that far... On whose scale?

By the sound of your post you seem to think Auckland and Christchurch are next door neighbours.

There is aprox 450 miles between Auckland and New Zealand and it is on a different island (South Island)

Auckland isnt free from earthquakes, as isnt the UK - I agree that the UK doesnt sit apon the 'Pacific 'ring of Fire' fault line, but if a disaster is going to strike, it's really just a role of the die to where its going to strike.

Auckland isnt that for from Christchurch - On whose scale?

Just for reference there is aprox 470 miles between Auckland and Christchurch and Christchurch is on a differnt island from Auckland

Yes, most of New Zealand sits on the pacific 'Ring of Fire' fault line and has earthquakes

but England isnt immune to earthquakes either...

Where the next disaster will strike - Who knows... it is a role of the die - wanna try and predict the next one? I most certainly dont!

DumDum

If the basic idea of a DumDum was to carry out a more effective method of killing your enermy, perhaps we should look at what James Puckle invented in London in 1718 ' The Puckle Gun' was able to fire round bullets at Christians, and square bullets at 'Non Christians' in the (misguided)belief that the square would do more damage than the round bullet.

Perhaps the Met should try getting one out of the Tower Amory and trying this out – On ballistic jelly first of course!
