Oooh, M&S. Would that be in the glaziers on Lordship Lane? The link is to a map so we can all make sure we're talking about the same place. Now, what I like about this map is that, much like Huguenot says they should (see above post), it follows the classic lines that I feel a map should be following. However, it does boast some lovely innovations, such as doubling as a picture locator. Fancy huh?

yahoo maps or flickr map kind of spring to mind.


What say we ask Mark to change thread titles to backfit what threads actually end up being about, rahter than their original intentions.


So this one would be cartographic nonsense or something.

While 96% of other threads will be either House Prices Rise, M&S in LL, or I Hate Middle Class Scum


Clearly writing SQL popluation routines and getting rid of "[" and "]" from the SQLDMO script output isn't fizzing my bunghole today

Hughues - I think that the table is simply an indicative notion of the relative density of Starbucks in any given area. As you say it is not a map in the pure sense. For true picture you might visit the Starbucks website or possible write a politely worded letter to their corporate headquarters. Perhaps you could do this after your next recce visit to the new wet fish shop?

Yes, agreed, but it doesn't title itself as "an indicative notion of the relative density of Starbucks in any given area" does it? It titles itself as a "map".


Strictly speaking if one were to use rather dull mathematical terms it does have something to do with matrix mapping, but there's no evidence that the creator (let us call him "God" since we have little notion at this stage of his substance) had that in mind when he created it.


On that basis God doesn't know anything about maps, and whilst some may reflect on this as a mysterious way, I for one have no faith in him.

    • I also wonder if all this, recently events and so many u turns is going to also be the end of Kier Starmer.
    • And I replied: Mandelson and Trump have much in common. They are both shallow, vulgar and vain. They both fetishise wealth and power, irrespective of who holds it or how it was accumulated. They were both close friends and associates of the late Jeffrey Epstein and have moved in the same circles, as Ghislaine Maxwell’s address book allegedly confirms. Recognising another who is utterly transactional and lacking in a moral compass, there’s every chance of “Petie” fitting right in Mar-a-Largo. That Starmer couldn’t anticipate that Mandelson’s past behaviour would be problematic just proves how inept this government is.
    • Can't agree with that because he is a superb communicator - a really smart and  smooth talker. He studied PPE at Oxford and was communications director for Labour for many years.  Setting aside the "minor"  indiscretions during his time in government he has all the smoothness and ability to flatter Trump without appearing obsequious. Plus he can manage and exploit  Trump’s ego. He is highly polished socially, comfortable in elite circles, skilled at making personal connections. He can flatter and disarm, which is a useful tactic with Trump, who responds well to personal respect and praise. As a former EU Trade Commissioner and Cabinet minister, Mandelson understands international relations, trade, and diplomacy. He knows how to frame issues in terms of “wins” that Trump could claim credit for. I honestly hope that he survives.  
    • He is toast  he should never have been appointed  and starmer flannelling about all of this shows exceptionally poor judgement  a disgrace all around
