Basically between two villages. No houses, no pubs nothing (apart
fromÂ* a field on fire).

You know the names of the villages and that is all.

Could the phone operator not work it out?


Â*Would they be able to work with What Three Words ?


Field on fire next to the road between Branton and Auckley?

Just tried that link, when I hit the "current location" button it drops
the pin about half a mile north of me.

I just tried it and it places me just to the south of York - which is
wrong by about 50 miles and not even in the right Riding of Yorkshire.

We fairly recently discovered that the official gazette of postcodes had
our village hall "officially" located in the middle of a farm field -
which was where the secretary lived back in the 1960's. It has now been
corrected. Firebrigade apparently use some odd building code or other so
it isn't clear whether the wrong official postcode would have been a
problem. Noone lives there and it has no postbox (hence no actual code).
