This morning someone asked me for directions.
I was waiting for a bus at the top of Ormerod Street - a car came up, drove round the roundabout and then pulled up by the bus stop.
The driver asked me if I could tell him where to find Scaitcliffe House. I pointed down the road and told him it was at the bottom on the other side.
He didn't seem prepared to believe me. He said he'd got a map that showed it on the other side but when he'd been to the place the arrow pointed to it wasn't there.
I asked if he could see a building with a pink painted side. He said he could. I assured him that was Scaitcliffe House.
"Oh" he replied. "The map doesn't show it being that far down!"
I asked where he'd got the map - Hyndburn Council Website!
I've just been looking at the site and wonder if this was the map he'd been looking at. It does seem a bit out with it's arrow.
