North/south/east/west are replaced by hubwards, rimwards, turnwise and widdershins. I guess that your coordinates would measure distance from the hub and angle around the hub from a standard datum. - Steve xmpp:st...@nexusuk.org sip:st...@nexusuk.org http://www.nexusuk.org/ Servatis a periculum, servatis a maleficum - Whisper, Evanescence ___ Talk-GB mailing list Talk-GB@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb

It's one of those life imitating art imitating life things, but there have been many Treacle Mines in the UK. In particular, Polegate Treacle Mine in East Sussex, has given it's name to a reasonably new pub off the A22 :-) http://www.openstreetmap.org/?mlat=50.829606&mlon=0.236614&zoom=17 For a more comprehensive list of mines: http://www.treacleminer.com/ unfortunately many of these mines are disused. ___ Talk-GB mailing list Talk-GB@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb
