Google to Manchester
« on: April 18, 2007, 02:35:55 PM »
PROOF THAT GOOGLE MAPS ARE ACCURATE
Take 60 seconds to do this, it's way toooo funny



1. go to Google
2. click on "maps"
3. click on "get directions"
4. type "New York" in the first box (the "from" box)
5. type "Manchester" in the second box (the "to" box)
6. click on "get directions"
7. scroll down to step #23 or #24

Hopefully Manchester has plenty of towels!

LOL I wonder how long they give you for the 3500 mile swim  ;D but at least they let you have a rest in France before the final leg to the UK coast ;D

Talking about being up to date, I did a Google maps search the other day in my area and on the satellite  view found it to be around 2 years out of date.  :(

Perhaps the chunnel has sprung a leak? Or, more likely, it's blocked by all the Ukrainian and Polish immigrants who have fallen off the backs of lorries headed for Blighty?

Hmm... I doubt that :) I haven't seen any blockage on the channel for ages. But who knows with these types of scenarios.
