Nothing to get hungabout gatepost to Strawberry Field Strawberry Field was the name of a Salvation Army Children's Home just around the corner from Lennon's childhood home in Woolton, a suburb of Liverpool. Lennon and his childhood friends Pete Shotton, Nigel Whalley, and Ivan Vaughan used to play in the wooded garden behind the home. One of Lennon's childhood treats was the garden party held each summer in Calderstones Park every year, where a Salvation Army band played. Lennon's aunt Mimi Smith recalled: "As soon as we could hear the Salvation Army band starting, Lennon would jump up and down shouting, 'Mimi, come on. We're going to be late.'" en.wikipedia.org Let me take you down, 'cause I'm going to Strawberry Fields. Nothing is real and nothing to get hungabout. Strawberry Fields forever.

WELLINGTON, New Zealand (AFP) - The New Zealand town of Whakatane has found itself censored in cyberspace because the pronunciation of the word is close to the offensive F-word. The censorship was uncovered when a visitor to the tourist town on the east coast of the North Island tried to connect to the local council's wireless service called Freenet. His Internet searches for "Whakatane" were rejected, with the Freenet website offering the explanation that: "The content is filtered so this service is for legitimate use." Whakatane District Council spokesman Barney Dzowa said the problem lay with the pronunciation of the town's name where the "wh" takes an "f" sound. "The content filter is an American-based product, and it does a phonetic analysis of what has been typed in," he said. "Whakatane, to the system, sounds like an F-word." However, now the problem has been discovered the council has had the name added to a list of words capable of overriding the content filter.
