total miss representation of the place

no rum, no beer, and certainly no six :flame:

then I find out, no coffeeshop :swear:

needless to say, it's now better know as "Big-hole-in-the-ground-where-Andy-blew-it-to-kingdom-come",

...but apparently that's too long for google maps :nope:

I know, i only remember it because it's one of the first villages after the afsluitdijk.

I wonder if S[censored]horpe is censored - if so, the town in Lincolnshire that causes much hilarity for falling foul of autocensors everywhere!

Edit: which also reminds me of Grope[censored] Lane, a formerly commonplace streetname that was a rather literal description of the sort of trades plied there. We had one here in Oxford, but it's since been renamed to Magpie Lane, inexplicably.
