+It's Spitting! Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 Now then, as you used Google do I get another go? Go for it! Ahh - You called my bluff - I don't have another good question Ok, here is a simple one - what object has been used to denote the centre of the UK (as defined by the OS) in the nearest village to the centre of the UK. (Especially relevant on here...) Link to comment
+rutson Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 There's a plaque on a sandstone monument in the Village of Meriden, is that what you mean? Or the plaque in the floor of the pub? (Incidently, no googling needed, I've done the cache there ) Link to comment
+Seasider Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 (edited) It's a phone box. Infact, I used to have a cache (adopted by CT&E) which commemorated the very object... The Middle Of Nowhere? (Lancs) at Dundop Bridge, Lancashire. Cheers! Seasider Edited September 27, 2006 by Seasider Link to comment

The Middle Of Nowehere? (Lancs) at Dundop Bridge, Lancashire. Cheers! Seasider Yep, it's a Ding! for Seasider... It is a great spot up there, especially on mountain bikes down the tarmac forestry track to two other caches. Why was this one archived? Link to comment
+Seasider Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 It was archived because it was a virtual. By a bizarre coincidence I've been bagging the Bowland caches over the last couple of weeks and the next cache on my list for Friday is... Whitendale Hanging Stones (the Centre of Britain) which is located a couple of hundred yards from the OS calculated centre! I'll be parking across the road from the phone box so I might put a physical cache down in the village to get the Middle Of Nowhere cache up and running again. Cheers! Seasider Link to comment
+Seasider Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 Ok... next question... Why are 1946 pennies worth more than 1945 pennies? Cheers! Seasider Link to comment

I doubt I'd get BT approval for that but if I can't put it close then I'll do it as an offset multi where cachers have to visit the box the get some clues. Cheers! Seasider Link to comment
+Tiger-Eyes Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 Ok... next question... Why are 1946 pennies worth more than 1945 pennies? Cheers! Seasider Did their compsition change in 1946? i.e. the value of the metal change so they maetal was worth more than the actual pennie?? Link to comment

NickPick Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 (edited) Ok... next question... Why are 1946 pennies worth more than 1945 pennies? Cheers!

+teamvennall Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 Is this to do with the main character not being previously mentioned in ANY of his other books, or is it to do with the 'chalk' thingy - of course, now there are two sequels, neither of the above really apply (sign). Or is it to do with a main character from the discworld having a walk-on part?? If not any of the above, I'm stuck - and I'm a librarian. Link to comment
