You Aren't Here

This Local Information board has been outside my local Tescos for some time, but it was only the other day I actually paid it any attention, and noticed that the street map of King's Lynn bears absolutely no relation to the layout of my home town whatsoever.

A bit of research has shown that this is in fact a map of Andover in Hampshire. I just feel sorry for anyone trying use it to find their way around!

Stephanie Delacey LOL! Didn't the Surrealists have a game where you were supposed to wander around a city using the map of another?

NBlackburn Wow. That seems like a bit of States-side government work to me. Good job!

Jenny Harvey Are you totally sure that its not the map in the right place, and that Kings Lyne is where Andover should be.

Vic Notice the Drinkline and Samaritans phone numbers underneath. They're probably in case you get so frustrated trying to find a way out of KL, you get drunk, then get depressed.

Penny M Perhaps you are in an alternative universe where Andover and Kings Lynn have swapped geographies? You don't happen to be wearing a blonde wig and very black eyebrow pencil?

Anonymous This has to be the funniest thing I've seen in a long time. First off there's you and all of the other dippy Tesco customers who haven't noticed, but perhaps funnier are the people who put it up.

Either they knew what they were doing (very funny), or they didn't (even funnier).

You need to exploit this discovery!

transfattyacid Someone needs to andover the map of Kings Lynn

Joanna how many city maps did you have to check before you found out it was andover? Or were you lucky and went alphabetically?

Becky I typed the street names into Google, Joanna. :-)

Joanna ah.. cunning...

;)

Nicky Damn, I was in Andover yesterday - if I had seen this in time I could have checked Tesco's to see if they have your missing map of Kings Lynn.

Nicky I was back in Andover last week and actually went to check the map outside Tescos - I can now confirm two things
1. The map in Andover is of Andover
and
2. I need to get a life!
