Talk:Howick, New Zealand

Untitled
food for thought:
 * Was Bleakhouse a litary reference to the house of the same name in Pilgrim's Progress (if memory serves me well) or if later perhapse the Charles Dickens's novel "Bleak House"?
 * Was Rodney street named after George Brydges Rodney, 1st Baron Rodney? — Preceding unsigned comment added by PBS (talk • contribs) 02:23, 3 November 2004 (UTC)
 * Nope it was Rodney out of 'Only Fools and Horses' — Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.63.48.48 (talk) 12:40, 3 November 2005 (UTC)

I know the Charles Dickens Bleak House reference is correct - there are a number of streets in the area with Dickens related names. --IanRitchie 10:06, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

Merger proposal
I propose getting ride of Chowhick as the nickname is already dealt with here. Also, no one spells it 'Chowhick'. --Helenalex (talk) 10:55, 7 December 2007 (UTC)
