    Evening!

    Just got back from my jog. It was sooo hard...

    But I now have a glass of white wine by my side, I'm going for a shower and then I'm nipping out to the local Chinese for a chow mein.

    I'm slightly concerned about my feet, but I'll leave that question for when I get back...

      I'm not sure about writing a guide - although maybe it would be as successful as Russell Davies's Egg Bacon Chips and Beans
      After our last visit to the Black Country Museum my mum bought me some beef dripping from her local butcher. I meant to "load" the deep fat fryer with it but never got around to it

      Grimby Town FC always get a good contingent of away supporters at their home games as there is a very good chippy just outside the ground that uses beef dripping.
      Where are we going? And what’s with this hand basket?

          Indeed - hoping to get some nice Quidco cashback by arranging some insurance with a new provider.

                  Done already VF, Mgr has my mobile number !

                  Asked if I would go back if and when things pick up, can't help but feel sorry for some of the staff who have been put on a short working week

                  Pimpette not too happy either as she was hoping I would get extended as they were really pleased with me.

                  DD is speaking to her Biological father on the phone - bet she is slagging me off a little

                    Sounds like you'll be welcome back there when things pick up. Any other leads yet?

                      Sort of. If there was an online directory of chip shops, including all their addresses, one could take the data from that and combine it with Google's geocoding service to get the latitude and longitude of each one, then use that data to plot it on a Google map.

                      Then, one might do something like getting the WoE ("Where on Earth") data from Yahoo GeoPlanet so that you could cluster them together when the map was zoomed out, to give an overview of how many chip shops there were in different counties.

                      So that would be mashing up the chip shop data, the geocoding data, the WoE data, and the map imagery to get the result.

                      The thing that makes it a mashup is that it involves automatically gathering data from multiple sources over the Net, and combining it all to produce something interesting
