I strenuously object to this slur on the fair country in which I live! If there is a statue of Queen Victoria in Palmerston North, I will go out and buy a hat and eat it! And I am lucky to be able to see Taranaki, as well as Ruapehu, from my office window on a clear day. We all call it Taranaki. The name "Egmont" is just plain ugly.
