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.

    • If you want to change a radiator and it is the same size, pretty straight forward.  isolate by turning the two valves, one is straight forward hand twist, the other side you need to take the cap off and get an adjustable spanner and turn till closed.  Both clockwise. Use the same spanner to undo the large nuts that fix the radiator to the pipework, open the bleed valve, get a flatish container to catch the water which is likely to be a grotty black, sheets/plastic underneath to protect floor/floor covering.  Then jiggle off, tipping as quick as you an into your water container. Fingers crossed it will be the same back plate fitting.  If not you will have to take the old one off and fix the new one. Replacement is a reverse, allowing the rad to refill and let the air out. No naked flames involved. If it is a different size I can advise on that too. Lots on line too: https://www.toolstation.com/help-and-advice/how-to-guides/how-to-remove-radiator?gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=19747119835&gclid=CjwKCAiAkvDMBhBMEiwAnUA9BR26YwBA6kOfcR4-JVxfJEjWdhRk6j0imCNcsIfu064wHN54-cs10xoCZ4cQAvD_BwE Although this is for a pressurised (combi) system where you need to get it back to pressure.  Pretty simple.  I don't bother with jointing compound.    
    • Fair enough - I'm absolutely wrong on that one. 👍
    • I'm still completely unclear what happened, apart from that a car apparently crashed into a lamp post opposite the Co-op. I presume the one in Lordship Lane, though the OP doesn't say. Was it speeding? Did it swerve to avoid someone who ran into the road? Did something go wrong with its brakes or steering? Did the driver have a medical emergency or fall asleep or got  distracted by something? Was there something slippery on the road surface? Was the driver hurt? Were any passengers hurt? Were any pedestrians or other road users hurt? Were there any witnesses? 
    • confused by the question?
