Geography redux

Have updated map of significant British locations per your suggestions and a few more places I thought of.

I was listening to a BBC radio documentary about the Web, and there was a bit about the net encourages quick, shallow reading. That's certainly true, but in this case the evidence given was that people tend to only look at a few pages on any one site before boinging off to a different one. I'm sure that's often the result of a short attention span, but there's another explanation: most Web sites are crap! Of course we only poke around in them briefly before giving up and looking elsewhere. The doco was talking about the information overload caused by the net, but actual information is few and far between. (Having got my fingers burned once at Wikipedia, I don't mess with the pages there any more, but it drives me insane that the pages about retroviruses describe them as reversing the central dogma. You eediots!)

Jon reckons that my cranky old lady-ness is a sign that I'm recovering from the roos getting loose in my top paddock. I hope he's right.
