City of the week: Veggieburg
Constantinople did it. So too Peking and Leningrad. And if Peta, an animal rights organisation, has its way, Hamburg
would join the list of cities that have changed their name. Economic, political, or religious upheaval forced theose
other rebrandings. In this case, however, Peta hopes (euros)10,000 and a love of animals will persuade Germany's
second city to change its name from Hamburg to Veggieburg. And rumours are rife that Peta may extend its offer to the
Shetland hamlet of Ham, which, Peta hopes, will change its name to Veggie, in a spirit of animal-friendly solidarity
