Aberystwyth is 30 miles away and has its own mappers.

A chip shop is fast food, but how about a chip shop with a cafe? If you say it's still fast food, the one I'm thinking of calls itself "Pendre Cafe." Apart from the cuisine, I don't see much difference. If I were looking for a cafe to sit down and eat something filling but cheap, I wouldn't exclude McDonalds from my search. > > Whilst it has tables it is definitely a take away where you can choose to > sit down or walk out with your food, fast food with seating=yes is a better > definition. > I'd be happy with that. Except we don't have seating=yes. We can differentiate with takeaway=yes|no|only. However, apart from the chip shop and a Greggs, all the fast food joints near me that I can recollect are takeaway=only. So I don't get a hint from the icon as to whether I can sit down or not. -- Paul
