Re-naming of The Avenue in Bengeo
I was looking on Google Maps earlier and noticed that The Avenue is now identified as "Thyme Avenue"! Same on Google Earth.
I wonder when this was decided?
(I would have inserted an image showing this but I dont know how. Maybe someone could oblige...)

No-one is infallible.
It would appear that a finger slipped on the kbeyaord.

That's a fairly big slip or very big fingers on maybe a combination of the two! [:D]
Its strange, Google certainly used to have the correct spelling up until not long ago, not sure why it should have needed to be reviewed?

Ooh my first post!
Map makers add in errors sometimes to see if people are copying their map data. There is something funny around the Hatfield tunnel as well.
Not very useful for the people using the map data, but you can see their problem

Maybe it's because you're using Sage Software?[:)]

I hope this doesn't signal the start of a thread peppered with poor puns.

Some weird stuff going on in upper Bengeo - I've just taken a look at google maps to find The Drive is now The Dr ....... the Dr and thyme(time?) - anybody noticed any strange old police boxes around? Or have the locals co-opted the daleks to enforce the rat run restrictions??
