As a lifetime user of Ordnance Survey mapping products for both work & pleasure, I frequently get asked (& am happy to) provide feedback.
Utterly dismayed however to open a questionnaire this morning asking me how receptive I'd be to OS integrating Ai into their services?!

Are you a heritage consultant? Do you carry out impact assessments? Have you come across rock art sites in your studies? And if you do, how do you incorporate these sites into your assessments and what mitigation to you consider? Do you feel that you know enough about it to mitigate risks? Thanks!

Has anyone experienced a Google Map that they have created, just vanishing overnight? All links to it dead. Not in my library of maps, no sign of it?

Northamptonshire, 1907. Two girls out for a walk enter the church. Inside, they are terrified to see the place full of kneeling people who seemed "to be made of a substance similar to bubbles". No explanation has ever been offered, and the apparition never reoccurred

'When Hell Laughed' was written by Christine Campbell Thomson (1897 - 1985) under her pseudonym Flavia Richardson. She also edited the NOT AT NIGHT series.
