·G Town on the map!
This is a great bar for a few cocktails, Rusty nails and mojitos stand out.

·I'm a London boy really but a few years ago I moved away from the madness to enjoy the coast and countryside of Dorset. I've dropped my pin on the very exclusive Sandbanks. It's 'way way way' too expensive for my budget, but I live and work close by and it's a lovely place to take visitors. It has great beaches, cafes and lovely views over Poole Harbour and, out to sea, across to the Isle of Wight

I moved from London to Dorset many moons ago, for a while
not too far from you - Winfrith Newburgh - the other side of Wool on the road to Lulworth Cove
Dorset is a really nice place to live when you've had enough of the rat-race

··Purrrr-veyor of luxury cat box loungersYes but I'm still getting used to the smell of cow shite!😁 Lulworth Cove is a very nice. I took some friends to Durdle Door recently. It's like 'living on holiday'.🙄
But I'd seen Cliff Richards standing on it in a video - and I thought if he can do it...(how the hell he got up there I don't know!)

··Purrrr-veyor of luxury cat box loungersAs it became known I trained as an architect, my first 'village job' (everyone got jobs to do) was to add some burial plots to the old Winfrith cemetery plan. (To fit just a few more in)
Thing is it was on 50 year old oiled cloth (think pirate's map) in Imperial measurements of course. 😲
I'm not suggesting that Dorset was behind the times but I think this was still current technology for them
No way I was going to draw on that - so got my Rotrings out, surveyed the whole cemetery and drew it up in 'newfangled' measurements
I often wondered if they ever measured from the drawing whether they would dig the holes in the wrong place 🤔

·Aaaaaay! Whad'ya mean California is the most represented?
What about Britain? There are 13 flags here, so far, and this little triangular Island is basically just an unsinkable US aircraft carrier loitering off the coast of Europe!

·So you can find my place of residence and attempt to steal my watches....I think not.
Good day sir.
Lol must not get the sarcasm as you can see my location on the map 😀 hahahaha
I think I literally LoL'd at your emoji!
Um he didn't say to put your address in it. You can just put your city. He actually specifically said no personal information. 🤨
I wouldnt he has a gun!

·Vancouver is home to 4 members, @cvrle1 @grizzlycanuck @Jammer005 and yourself. Two members have pins in the same exact spot, so to the casual eye it looks like only 3.
In the first tally I accidentally included Surrey as a part of Vancouver, bringing the total to 5 members...which is not the case. This distinction now belongs to Calgary (?) ...but with 3 Anonymous entries, seems highly dubious. This could be Calgary's La La Land Best Picture moment.

@nonuffinkbloke For the record there were only 12 pins at the time of the talley, still a good showing!...3rd most by country. California is of course a state/territory within a country. Granted it is 7 times the size of England...BUT. Yeah. A technicality really. 😉
@Egatdagi Cool. You've been relocated. This is appropriate. It's to give people an idea of your location in the context of a meetup or someone looking for tips when visiting your area,...and Vancouver is probably a more likely destination than Surrey.
