Posted: Tue Mar 15, 2011 10:50 am Post subject: The POI Challenge - Week 1-Bakeries - Submit a POI near you! |
|
|
I had an idea to help increase the number of POIs in the database. Each week I'll post a thread on a different catergory and you have to submit a POI in that category near you.
This week - Food & Drink - Independent Bakeries
Current number - 18
I've already submitted a few in this category recently in the Edinburgh area.
Don't forget to post telling us where you added one! |

I have to say, I think you've hit on a very good idea to motivate people into improving the POI collections, but I think I would have chosen a different category for the first week!
Maybe, something we all need, like "Cash Machines", or something leisure-related like Swimming pools or Football grounds?
To be honest I can't think of any time I would ever need to "Navigate to..." a bakery!
(although, come to think of it I could just murder a doughnut.... ) |

Everyone knows a good independent bakery beats your production line Greggs offerings hands down. |
