I used to be on the map but seem to have disappeared. Maybe I'll have to try again.
The problem about our postcode is that its centre is nowhere near us. It's up a track the wrong side of a mountain. Delivery guys discover this when using SatNavs - they end up at the end of a narrow muddy track in the middle of nowhere with no turning space. That's when they dig out their mobile phone and discover there's no signal.
They have to reverse out and drive 2 miles back to the village to get a phone signal. Some of them are quite grumpy by the time they finally arrive.

they got mixed up with ours too, so no point in posting unless we have moved into the local Vets surgery and mansion 200 yards down the road. Must be a Cornwall thing.
Im trying to figure when the cars went by, looks to be sometime last summer?
TIP: I found a web site where you can correct these things (link is on google maps) but I think I'll leave my house uncorrected, everyone deserves fifteen minutes of anonimity

Here's a little story for you.
Look at
SY15 6RS - the Nags Head hotel Garthmyl - zoom in on the junction with the B&W direction sign and you'll see the Montgomery canal going under a bridge. But it's not a bridge - the canal goes under the road in a concrete pipe and re-appears some 150m away, the other side of the Nags Head.
It used to be a hump backed bridge; all the canal bridges were that type, and on quiet country lanes they still are. But as traffic speed increased these bridges became very dangerous on main routes - there wasn't enough money around (just after the war) to replace all these bridges with more gently-sloped affairs and so wherever the canal crossed a main road, this was what was done - it was piped under the road and it rendered the canal un-navigable between Welshpool and its source, Newtown.
One day in 1948 a crane operator was demolishing the hump backed bridge at the Nags Head by swinging a big iron ball in to it, one or two more hits and it would be history. He spotted a young lady watching him on the other side of the canal and asked her if she would like to be the last person to ever cross the bridge.
She teetered over what was left to join him on his side and he finished the job.
That was how my parents met - the bungalow to the left of the pub is where my Dad lodged whilst he was on this job and all my relations on my Mother's side live within a small radius of that pub. The residence by the phone box, attached to the pub, used to be the PO and my (non-related) 'Auntie' lived there "Mrs Davies the Post Office"
(Sigh)

I am at PE6 8LW. Drag Pegman to Northfield Rd.
My unit is No. 13 and the one next door with the To Let sign is now also mine or will be from 1/6/2010 but I have the keys and have been given a rent free period until then.
The red Citroen Picasso is my car and the tree it is parked under is now in full blossom. About the only time of year the view improves.
