Also didn't one of sinister agent's young-lesbian-in-trouble friends briefly sign up here before moving to Australia?

The answer is yes.

Her mum sounds almost almost mental as mine. Although my mum doesn't have the excuse of homophobia, just being mental.

Excellent map doc. How did you calculate the centre then?

Straight mathematical average of lat and long. I could ask everyone for their body weight; then we could do an actual centre of mass :DD

That would just end up about half a mile down the road from my house, though.

Considering where you, me, and Grim... are, I'm thinking it would quite definitely be a SouthEast meet, indeed.

Even Romanista has only managed to drag it a few miles to the other side of Burton-upon-Trent.

I found a bug. Each centre point was also included in the calculation, which skewed it a little. Fixing that moved it closer to myp's house. BUT! Mr Dave and Morte have now dragged it a bit further south! Hurrah!

(I'm not doing hours of work to prove myp is the centre of Beex.)

Well I guess technically speaking my mum has an account here too, although she only signed up to help out sinister agent's "young-lesbian-in-trouble friend"

We do have a registered Finn as of last week. That should count as the north east.

We've got about 15 Ukranians and Russians, but I'm pretty sure they're just spammers who haven't worked out how to post.

I thought he'd gone hot air ballooning around the world with Dr Ashens and everyone else that doesn't love us anymore?

We've got at least one poster who mentally inhabits the planet Zog so that should shift the centre a few miles ... ooooh, south west.

EDIT - WTF is going on.

Grim... demanded I calculate the median centre as well as the mean. It's almost in Leicester, so not very different.

Why, that's exactly how it happened.

I think you should take the modal average for the beex map

median would be better

Oh no wait. The other thing.

However, while you're doing what I say, but that Suzuki and don't bid on that Range Rover.

myp · **Posted:** Tue Aug 25, 2009 15:05

Do the modal centre, while you're there.

Doctor Glyndwr · **Joined:** 30th Mar, 2008 **Posts:** 32624

Modal is meaningless in any dataset with no repetition. Idiots.

a) there's plenty of repetition
b) drop some decimal places until there's more

Well, that settles it. If the middle's in Leicester, I'm leaving and never coming back. Seriously

Not too late. I have a script that calculates the centre, so it's easy for me to keep adding people.
