I've finally had it with Google Maps. They've been picking random stores as 'landmarks' during navigation, and I missed a turn because of it yesterday. These 'landmarks' are clearly being chosen as advertisements (half the time they are small smoke shops that are not visible from the road).

If it weren't bad enough that they're ruining the navigation feature, they do it for the sake of pushing addictive products (possibly to a person trying to break the addiction).

I'm going with Magic Earth for now.

February is cub season for badgers.
Mums with babies only ever go a 500metre distance from their cubs.

If you see a badger newly dead by the roadside please check for lactation (bare area around swollen teats on her underside). *
Her cubs have 24 hours before they leave the set in search of mum, and they will die of hypothermia.

*badgertrust.org.uk/report if you find one as described. Link added thanks to a quote reply. 🙏

Please please share, or post your own toot. Xx
