Re: Useful OS maps online

Pity it doesn't seem to cover the UK.

Its exactly what I have come to expect off the government websites - window dressing policy advertising and poor content makes you wonder if they are a government or just a slick advertising agency after all they strung the 'New' tag on, next should be 'new improved labour' then Derek

Errr, hello? UK government website?

Perhaps you're living in some far flung part of what is notionally called the UK but it certainly covers the mainland.

... not quite. Some of it stops at the Scottish border!

Please define a Mainland and b the UK!

Hehe, that's what you get for having your own MPs, two levels of incompetence ;-)

The Ordnance Survey data should cover the whole country. But if it's showing land-ownership and access data, Scotland and England+Wales are different. The open access provisions introduced in England do not apply in Scotland, because the whole system of access and ownership of land is different.

And farmers in Wales don't have to deal with the government c*ck-ups in England.

The bit that showed up when I typed my postcode in! Sod the rest of it ;-)

heh hee - a more elegant turn of phrase I have yet to hear - on that subject.

That rather suggests that one set is more competent than the other - I would have thought that equality of incompetence could be assumed.
