It should be no different to searching RightMove, but for events/days out with people uploading content.

Do I hear the words "I, Alexei, have a cunning plan that involves a marrying together of our talents", marching towards this thread with ill-deserved confidence??

You could just ask on CUK.

You could just ask on CUK.

Harford bridge in Hartley Wintney used to be quite nice and had a big indoor soft play area. Can't find much on it on google so no idea if it's still there.

No it closed some years ago.

I could point you in the direction of someone who tried to do this years ago with an awful large amount of money from C4 and a couple of other investors.

Trying to get decent information is going to be your problem, if you can solve that you'll then hit the real second issue of how to earn money from it.

Yes. Any chance you could PM me

let us know how you get on edison.
In the meantime, how is the self-sizing-butt-plug coming on ?

Doomed to failure I am afraid. I thought I had the design down to a tee until I leant it you for the weekend for testing, you tried it and it failed.

I then realised that it would always fail as along as you were a possible customer, I mean who could invent a self-sizing-butt plug for an infinite arsehole.

Does anyone actually know of a decent, centralized website for the UK which collates this information, because frankly if it doesn't exist it's going on my PLan B list

But none of them are very good. I can't for example find a child friendly pub that has an indoor play area (for example).

Did you know that no-one player has more than 8% of the online search directory market in the UK. And that's Yell!

So yes it's been done, but it hasn't been done well and there is no real one place to go. And that's includes Google maps.

No point reinventing the wheel.

Assuming you are 'in IT' maybe the irony* of that statement isn't totally lost on you.

* Maybe it's not irony, but I'm Alanis Morissette and I'll keep taking the little pills.

Other sites exists already and it's been done before. No point reinventing the wheel.

Oh. I put in Aylesbury and it listed 50, going up to 14 miles away at Hemel Hempstead. I put in outdoors and kids 10+

What did you search on?

I typed Fleet, Hampshire. It crashed.

Then I did Fleet and says
"Sorry, the town you searched for does not have any attractions listed, however, below is a list of nearby towns that do."

and lists Weymouth as 5 miles away, which is more like 55.

When you click that it gives me Weymouth and a list of places which I don't know where they are and the distance. Doesnt show distance.

I've just tried my village, which has bugger all but it listed the nearest 50 towns that do have something.

Then I clicked the listed town nearest to me, and it gave the nearest 50 attractions.

[Doggy Styles]

Cheers. That's one of the sites I'm looking at. It has the information but has a terrible search engine. If there is nothing at the town location you enter, it doesnt give a proximity match and justs 'nothing there'. Useless.
