    Default Wikimapia

    Like wikipedia, but this time with a map, using google earth you just square off the things of interest, write a description and voila it's done.Same principles as on wikipedia, anyone can change or edit the description.

    Go Go Go..

    I was just looking around your area for Fred Dibnah's place & I found this description of the place in the centre of the place here: http://www.wikimapia.org/#y=53519362...3&z=19&l=0&m=a

    One stop shop for all your cannabis needs.

    If its harder stuff your after just ask all can be arranged.

    The family run the area so dont worry about the fact that we sell drugs OPPOSITE the primary school, the police cant touch us.

    WARNING: Make sure you pay or one of the neanderthal son's will put you in hospital.
    Hehe probably the sort of thing that will get the owners of wikimapia into trouble.

    I spotted "Illegal Extensions". I wonder if the coppers are going to look into anything mentioned here, cause they could of course all be hoaxes.
