Monday May 21, 2007 Dave's Bit Bucket
Dave Walker's jottings - mostly pertaining to security
Monday May 21, 2007 I can't take credit for this posting, on the grounds that the algorithm was created by my old pal Clive, but AFAIK he hasn't blogged about it.
If you've ever been out travelling in the UK at lunch or dinner time, and been stuck for ideas as to where to eat, you'll like this. Grab your atlas, find a nearby large town, and look for a smaller town or large village connected to the large town by a B road.
On this B road, you are pretty much guaranteed to find a pub serving good food.
Back when I was living in Huntingdon, Clive and I often used to head off on jaunts at the weekends to see different places of interest around the country; the resulting extensive testing of the B road algorithm has showed it to work pretty much everywhere in rural England, Scotland and Wales except, for reasons we couldn't fathom, Lincolnshire.
So, as summer arrives and the mind turns to travel, consider using the algorithm to find good places to eat. It will help support the local economy, too. I'd be glad to see comments on how well it works for you.
