If You Had A Set Of Coordinates In Degrees, Minutes, And Seconds, How Small An...

...area would be pinpointed?

[sunny-dave]

About 100 feet by 50 feet in the UK

[humbersloop]

((sandy)), I thought that was how you measured angles rather than locating areas

[woofgang]

same thing Humber, the angle is subtended at the centre of the earth.

[humbersloop]

^and I've been known to be completely mistaken sometimes....

[sandyRoe]

I was looking at a bottle of rioja, Campo Viejo, the other day and it gave coordinates. I googled them and see the grapes came from an old field near Logrono.
Humber, for measuring angles I'd go the old fashioned way and use a protractor.

[humbersloop]

did I ever mention I'm rubbish at navigation?? ;)

[sandyRoe]

When the second inundation comes and all the ABers are rushing to find a space on you boat, that confession will have us with our hearts in our boots.

[humbersloop]

c'mon, where's your sense of adventure??

[sunny-dave]

Up excrement waterway without means of propulsion?

[sandyRoe]

When the world's awash from pole to pole being able to navigate wouldn't be that important. Keeping us all afloat would be the main concern.
water, water every where and all the boards did shrink

[humbersloop]

exactly sandy, thank you

o ye of little faith, you're in steerage class for that

[stewey]

HS, is your bottom called an orlop deck?

[humbersloop]

grand vessels have orlop decks stewey, we just have a floor

[sandyRoe]

Not a deck? 'Holystoning the floor' somehow doesn't sound right.

[stewey]

I just re-read my question, and the phrasing of it sounds quite cheeky doesn't it?:)

[humbersloop]

thankfully we have just the one deck sandy, and I'm a martyr to the paint roller rather than the holystone

stewey, not at all cheeky, my bottom is scraped regularly and broadly described as magnificent

[tonyav]

Yep, those limpets can cause havok.

[humbersloop]

...'specially on the wind and water line

has the vinyard been located I wonder?

[sandyRoe]

The coordinates are: N 42° 28' 48". W 02° 29' 08".
