I walked down a street where the houses were numbered 64K, 128K, 256K,
512K and 1MB. That was a trip down memory lane.Stolen from UK divers forum

Were you wearing a mac?
Were the drives parallel or serial?
Sounds like a bit of a SCSI neighbourhood to me.
Was it inhabited by WAN***s?

Looks more like Oldbury, nr. West Bromwich to me.
Lowestoft is East of the Greenwich meridian.

First time I'd seen it; but we bought a used small table saw recently from a house numbered 52 and half!
Not bad deal for 30 bucks (about 20 quid?). It works and the 10 inch blade on it isn't in too bad a state!

:-) I did pass a town yesterday occupied by 8192 souls (they put census counts on the signs over here) and thought it would have been better written as 8KB...

Near me in Harrow, there is a road (and housing estate) built on the former site of the council's driving school. That old school was a collection of nicely tarmac'ed junctions made so that learners can take their stalling time away from the nasty real traffic out there - they have now rebuilt the school on the other side of the borough.
Anyway, that road name? It's 'Learner Drive'. I quite like that :-)

On an anorak kind of thing, landing 'CV10 0TU' into google maps and zooming out a bit in satellite mode, shows the test tracks for the Motor Industry Research Association? (MIRA) - the location refered often on Top Gear as 'top secret'. Er, nice tracks and junctions ...
BTW going TOT, interesting'ish article on their home page on an electric vehicle conversion.

To keep firmly OT I once knew someone who claimed to have broken down and rung the AA. They asked him where he was, and he looked at a road sign and said 'Watling Street'. They asked him to be a little more specific.

Number 32 is a single mother boarding house.
Don't PATA the dog, it bytes.
Her at number 64 is always good for a nibble.
The road was closed and I had to backup.
