I'm not impressed by the map. Checked some known post codes which were listed, found one was 40 miles out & another over 100 miles adrift.
Well I'm sorry, but I am impressed. Zoom back to 30 miles up and it looks bloody brilliant, and the odd stray post code doesn't seem to matter so much
Your are getting there with it but it is not quite right yet.
Keep on working on it.
Some places are wrong when I checked still.
One pin for two different postcodes. Hm.
But I loved your flying carpet journey last night, Eddie. Good advert for Google Earth, too. Will they send you a promotional tee, sorry - rugby, shirt do you think? ;o)
It's interesting and surely it's art? Have you considered selling it to the Tate?
Food Miles and carbon emissions
The items about sending cherries from Chile for Christmas and last night about sending langostines from Scotland to England via Thailand (for hand peeling) receives justification from the firm undertaking this nonsense on the basis of no electrical energy expended from automatic shelling. This fails to take into account the extra CO2 emitted, not just by carrying the 28 tonne weight of the refrigerated container thousands of miles in both directions but also on the energy expended keeping the ships' generators supplying 3 phase power to the container to maintain -22C. The real justification is low cost of labour and shipping and that of not using the fish processing plants in this country many of which have closed down because of this practice which considers nothing but bottom line profit and zero consideration of the environment.
