Re: Google Members Map

Maybe just give an approximate location then. Good point though

Thats what I did - and I recommend everyone else does the same!

I really think it would be a good idea for Vag-com equipped peeps to have a different coloured flag too...

Re: Google Members Map

Please READ the page, we have made it clear that you should not put your exact location up, unless you really want to...it'a more a guide.

Will be workng on multi-coloured flags in time.

Going well though for the first week or so

You can also edit your location if you think it's too close.

Thats right, but I had no insurance then so wanted to put it away in the garage. I remember some doughnut suggested I remove the HT leads

To our many overseas members, please note the majority of countries are still available for population so get in there and plant your flags!

Evening Standard Property section the other night was full of adverts for apartments in Dubai .... compared to Britain they are very cheap & top notch quality as well ... although last time I went there it was scarily hot (i.e. couldn't walk on beach barefoot as the sand was like a furnace)

PS - mention of invasion has probably put you on some "danger" list somewhere - now have visions of US operatives considering the dangers of East Anglian Skoda driving subversives

Poor old Mil out there on his own in U.A.E!

Gotta be someone from even further away who can keep him company in a kind of "in the middle of nowhere" way.
