Before anyone comments, this story is clean. Despite the word contained in the link below.

Following this story regarding the new Google maps... http://www.theregister.co.uk/2005/05/12/google_brothel/

I decided to try this myself with Sheffield- not that I require a brothel, I might add :)

The results came up as the following:

Sheffield City Council
BBC Radio Sheffield
South Yorkshire Passanger Transport Executive.

Go to http://maps.google.co.uk/ and look for yourself. Is there something these organisations aren't telling us? :)

I think someone ought to get in touch with Google.

Just talking to a colleague about this - will have to see whether Tim is a member of this forum or not!

Anyway, as I currently work at one of these august bodies, if we're running the best little whorehouse in Sheffield then it's a surprise to me!

I don't know, there's no telling some people :)
