    What's it like round Glengall Road/East Ferry Road area on the IoD? I
    bought a dirt cheap fairing panel on eBay and want to pick it up from
    the seller.

    I can replace the damaged decal for a fiver, making an extremely cheap
    panel to stick back on when I take the R+G bungs off. I had to drill a
    hole in the left side for the crash bung to go through.

    Your car is alarmed, right? :)

    It should be.

    That's about 400 yds from my front door.

    Without wishing to be disparaging - it's not the posh end of the IoD.

    When are you collecting? I can always pop round if you're in no great
    hurry.

    Salad Dodger says...
    No response from the seller yet, but weirdly enough there was a
    programme on TV tonight about Mrs P, who published the first A-Z of
    London. The presenter took a walk down that end of the IoD and went past
    the end of East Ferry Road and then turned towards the Blackwall Basin.

    I haven't lost my mind, it's
    backed up to a floppy disc
    that's around here somewhere.

    Yes that was interesting, especially when they explained that they put
    in 'vapour roads' in case anyone copies their maps. Now they have
    mentioned that 'it could be a new sport- finding all the invented
    roads on the A-Z', but I bet someone has already done it on the
    interwebby thing.

  8. We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
    drugs began to take hold. I remember Jackie
    <> saying something like:

    A-Z
    I do believe I found one of them, or rather, didn't find it as a
    shortcut.

    No panic Mr. C. : I'll see if I can find it elsewhere first - I'm not
    desperate to watch it.

    Thanks muchly.

  11. You could, of course, casually have a disc in your hand as you wander
    down a central London street and a rider on a Gold Wing could trundle
    past and relieve you of it. Would probably scare your girlfriend to
    death but you are going to be in the neighbourhood according to another
    post.

    Just caught it. The bit with the "phantom" road is on the site of the
    old Tate & Lyle Sugar Works. Well, according to Streetmap it is,
    anyway.

    It's not on Map24 or OS Get a Map, either. Or Multimap.

    Just at the back of Indescon Ct is what I saw. I worked there 20 years
    ago. There weren't no other roads there then, just bulldozed acres and
    plans on the LDDC maps.

    That's the one. A new road seems to spring up every now and again
    round here. Our road didn't appear on Streetmap for two years after we
    moved in.
