Note to self

beccaelizabethIf you go to google maps and type in "Bath oak" then you get a little arrow pointing at a middle of nowhere place near Oak Street.
A made up place in roughly this area is where Giles is.
I have no idea about plausibility. I'm sure I poked maps a lot when I was inventing the place in the first place. Unfortunately, if/when I wrote down the results, I didn't put a useful tag or note to self on it. Which makes it harder to find.
*sigh*
... see is difficult figuring where the nearest pub is if I haven't decided where nearest is in general.
There's an oak street and an oak ave, and oak street has more pubs near it.
Including 2 that show up on the BBC guide for gay pubs.
The BBC have a guide for many things.
ANYways, I know I figured out the distance from invented-place to the hospital last time, and I think it comes out about right this way, and also it is near Wells Road, which is obviously handy.
... Fictional geography is trickier than it looks. I mean, if I was being really precise, I'd have to figure out where a guy of his socio-economic background would be likely to be.
Instead I just make stuff up. Making stuff up is much more fun than research I have no idea how to do.
