I recall a web site I once visited which indicates whether a property
is on a flood plain, or if there is a phone mast or other salient
features nearby. Does anyone know what the web site is called?

The Environment Agency is good for flood information. Try

http://www.environment-agency.gov.uk...flood/?lang=_e

and put your postcode into the box at the bottom of the page.

I think he means the insurance company which did an extensive survey and
made the results available a few months ago

This one may be the one you mean, it has the flood and landfill data:

And this one has mobile phone mast locations
http://www.sitefinder.radio.gov.uk/

Search by town then zoom right in to see the locations, it includes all of
them, not just the masts, so you get to see the ones in McDonalds frontages,
petrol station price towers etc. Just had another go with it, looks like
they have taken off the address details, but the map is still pretty
detailed.

Yep! I think that was the one! I'm just looking at it now.

Bit of laugh for my location. Being post code based it puts us within
250m of a river flood plain. We are about 500m from a river but the
river is about 100m lower... So look at the contors on the OS map
snippet they show for the location given by the Post Code and where
the property actually is. The opposite to our situation could just as
easyly be true.

The "area report" is also obviously geared to densly populated urban
areas. Apparently we have no Amenities or Schools. So the local Co-op,
Police & Fire Stations, Cottage Hospital, two Primary and one
Secondary school, all less than 3 miles away, aren't picked up. Large
pinch of salt required I feel.

And most of Scotland does not exist according to them!
A large amount of salt required.

Yeah, I'd heard that, but I suspect that's a limitation of all the
"free" services, necessary generalizations.

It's fairly accurate for here, but this is an urban location.

Don't you want a phone mast nearby then? If you've got a phone mast
nearby and you use a mobile you'll actually be exposed to LESS non
ionising radiation than if the nearest mast was miles away.

Quite. A local mother and neighbour heard I was well known in mobile
telecomms and asked me to support their campaign to have a phone mast
removed from their school.

So as to keep the peace, I agreed to go and see it just before lunchtime
even though I was quite sure it would be installed safely, which it was.
Soon after hundreds of kids appeared, at least a quarter of them with phones
to ear or texting rapidly. Pointed her at real cause for concern.

If you wish to be bombarded with unnecessary radiation, feel free. But
not I, said the fly.

Well obviously not having a mobile removes the prime source of radiation.
Unfortunately the second, third and fourth sources of radiation most of us
encounter are a little harder to control, be they the Sun, Earth and
Universe. (or Earth, Sun and Universe if you live in Cornwall)

So you reckon the sun is unnecessary, do you!

I don't use a mobile. My mobile is for the duration of my house move
only and only for incoming calls when I'm not at home. As soon as I
have moved, my mobile is going to be donated to the steamroller club.
I hate mobiles.
