Frank Reed you said: “I'm still picturing a bar in the middle of nowhere that serves muesli instead of booze. Sounds like a nice place! Why can't I find it in Google Maps?”
Well, that’s the trouble with Google Frank. If you’d have used What Three Words (a British invention) instead, you’d have found it straight away. ///serves.muesli.instead is in Ontario if it hasn’t already been turned into a golf course. You do need to be careful with WTW though. ///scratch.itchy.bottom is in the North West Territories of Canada, whereas ///scratches.itchy.bottom. is almost diametrically opposed in Queensland Australia. Meanwhile, I’m still searching for time to produce that profound treatise on the navigational ability of Generation Z. DaveP
