I think Sainsbury's (like Wetherspoons) pay Google to make sure they're visible on the map, so you have to remember that sometimes it'll be easier to spot them than a suburb name like Blackheath.
The spelling of Teesside anecdote made me laugh. I'm from there (and have drank in the plimsoll line) and we don't half get precious about the spelling for some reason 😂
You seem to be better with Weatherspoons than stadiums 😂 hmm. Funny about Newmarket. You had the cursor on it 3 times without noticing it but I know it easier when you are just watching 😊
Game 1: 24, 817. I THINK my highest Geoguessr score ever. Very happy with that. A couple of gimmes though. Knowing Blackheath and Northfield 9I'm based in Birmingham) certainly helped with the final two. I WAS convinced that Aylesbury was up North for a LONG time. Game 2: 24, 390. Beginning to think only Birmingham and London are in this map! Game 3: 23, 477 First round and I can't even find the right town. I think I peaked early today. Still, three fairly solid rounds. Clearly pubs are easier than stadia. Not sure what that says about me.
I've been to 3 of these actual places (Manchester, Xscape and Whitby) and recognised the Spoons in all 3 places, though I've only been to 2 of them. In fact, my mum was literally only on about The Angel in Whitby a couple of hours ago! The Winter Seam is the most local one to me (I live in Leeds) and one I've been in a few times. I was only at the shopping part next to Xscape (Junction 32 Outlet Village) 2 weeks ago, though I didn't visit the Spoons on that occasion unfortunately!
Don't worry about it Dan even us locals in the Black Country can't even agree on where it begins and ends. I lived abroad for over tens years as a kid, which means I never developed the thick accent I sound more Brummie. I was forever being asked what part of Birmingham I was from when I was on the taxis.
You can have as many 'Red Lights' as you wish. I do NOT like Wetherspoons and WILL NOT patronise the idiots. Why? They have no clue about customer service. A few years ago and totally on a whim, my wife and I decided to visit our local Spoons for an early evening meal. We decided what it was we were having and ordered it. We were a little concerned when the young lady serving us declined to ask us how we preferred our steak. Unusual, from our previous experiences. We challenged that and requested rare steaks, this being our preference. The meals were served to the table at which we sat. As the same young lady put the plates in front of us, she said, "Just so you know, the steaks are well done!" "Why?"! I asked. She replied, "The Chef says that they are too thin to be cooked rare!" "Oh! Okay!", I responded with and continued, "Just so you know, I will not be eating my steak!" "Why?", she enquired. I then informed her that I do not like my meat overcooked. There was no further interaction between the staff and ourselves. The (I assume) manager descended upon the table to clear it the second we stood up and made no attempt to speak with us whatsoever. Upon my return home, I wrote to Wetherspoons, indicating to them how we had been treated in a suboptimal manner. i did not and nor did I ever ask them for anything, I should point out but received no reply or acknowledgement. Some six months later, still having had no correspondence, I wrote to them again and this time informing them what I thought of their customer service as a whole and that I would NOT be patronising them again. I have not, since. For me, it is a matter of principle. I know that this is not going to hurt them but there have been occasions where, as a member of a group, I have swayed the group from entering which gives me a warm, gratifying feeling. The once or twice I have failed, I stuck by my guns and stayed and awaited outside for the group to move on. Now, I don't know how low your standards are but these fell well below my expectations. So, no! I do not like Wetherspoons. Oh! By the way, This particular Wetherspoons no longer exists.
Tried to play this as a German and it made me so angry, that everything in this town was labelled with "Red Car Town", until it revealed the actual position and there is a town called Redcar?!
Out of the spoons you had i’ve been to these ones, i remember you doing this map on stream and it made me fall in love with geoguessr!

I'm just going to pin an apology here for all the times it was literally on the screen and I didn't see it.

My order is usually a breakfast order:
Fruit, yoghurt & maple syrup.
Orange juice.
Cup of tea.
Lovely Stuff
Not my words Thomas, the words of Shakin' Stevens.
1st thing is always a pint of Doom bar 💯

@@shnicky4ever haha brilliant! Which one would you recommend visiting the most out of the three??
Last but no least my stopping ground, the glorious Wallaw. It’s pronounced as The ‘Woll-La’ It’s an old cinema that closed about 20 years ago…
i just got this video on my home page after asking a question about the battersea power station on a random tiktok video today, spooky
Haha! Welcome to UA-cam. For the record- I do like Battersea Power Station, it's just very posh.

Haha thank you! What would Smethwick be classed as? Also thanks as ever for watching! 🙌🙌
@@DanBTF It's Black Country.
Never been to a Wetherspoons. Why support Tim Martin when there are other options?
3 mins in and you've already missed it and gone over it 😭 Dan BTF heritage
😂😂😂😂 I watch it back like Matthew McConaughey in Interstellar banging on the wall 5th dimension crying and shouting
Is there a specsavers map?
😂😂
Haha, First one and he kept waving the cursor around it while saying where is it? Not going to bother watching the rest.
😂😂🤣
I lost count the number of times your cursor went directly over Newmarket!
Not my best performance that 🤣
Can't believe I'm saying this but I've been to 4 of those Spoons 😂
A Spoons veteran! 🎖️ Thanks for watching 🙌
24,954 on game 2, just couldn't quite get 5000 in the Birmingham one
