What Three Words are you?
Chris Sheldrick had a brilliant idea. Divide the entire world up using a fine grid, and give every square a name.
So now you can identify any place on Earth using just three words. For example, the marketplace in Norwich is quit.stale.cake What amusing three word location is near you? Find out at https://map.what3words.com/ and post it here! |

In my summer holidays I cycled up Mont Ventoux, just like the two years before. At the summit there was a new sign saying, "Sommet Mont Ventoux 1909m". I was a bit disappointed at having been stolen 2m of my climb, because the sign there the last two summers had said "1911m". A Google image search shows that the sign seems to be exchanged with different altitudes regularly. There are photos on which it says "1910m" and "1912m" as well.
What makes that funny is that the square there is measurement.forthcoming.fact |

Another sweet holiday memory: On the road along the gorgeous Gorge de la Nesque there is exactly one house. They sell great local honey there, which is openly displayed with nobody around. But as soon as you stop there the woman selling the honey will be out of the house in seconds, offering you a taste. We tried it thrice: it never took her more than ten seconds.
Now I know why: invariably.robot.alerts |

The location of totally.drunk.chicken is a bit worrying.

The location of them.wiggle.labs looks about right.

Apparently not. But there is a chicken.dinner.winner, so I'd avoid that area if I were you.
