Just baffling and somewhat frightening…
I generally consider services like Google Maps and the like to be fairly useful tools, especially for getting a feel of places you’re visiting for the first time. However, problems like this could be quite annoying:
The labels are in the wrong places, which is obviously an issue if you’re looking for either of those buildings. And they’re not obviously wrong (they haven’t labelled a field as the Theatre for example) so people are likely to follow them, and end up in some accommodation and the Physics building rather than the health centre and theatre respectively. I’m sure the problem isn’t isolated to the University of Exeter, but I couldn’t see any easy way to correct those problems.
In the absence of anything worthwhile to type about without me sounding like a grumpy old man, I present my self-portrait (not to scale):
Thank you.
I’m surprised it has taken this long, but my standard marker for the arrival of Christmas shows that it has now officially begun.
Considering there were Christmas puddings and crackers and all that in Tesco before I came back to University, I think most places started Christmas around late August or early September.
For those wondering, the SI marker for the start of Christmas is Coca Cola’s Christmas adverts
