  1. The town had an argument and decided to split the place down the middle with a bit of tape like in a hacky sitcom. The people on the right hand side foolishly put themselves on the side without the Tesco on it so they didn’t have any food.

  2. OS mapmaker was pissed that his neighbours didn’t offer seconds at dinner the previous week.

  3. Have you got a grid reference? What’s there now?

    It may be a paper town/trap street – a fake location map makers would include so they knew if someone had copied their map.

  4. There’s an area of marsh just outside Yarmouth called nowhere
    There was a farm until the 60s and anyone born there would have nowhere down on their birth citificate

  5. You’ve not given enough information. A mostly empty screenshot with one BM number and a couple field numbers isn’t enough to pinpoint an area. I’ve just spent ages trying to do so and I’m giving up in disgust.
