What Three Words
« on: July 07, 2021, 02:30:03 PM »

Apparently the World is split in2 grids.  Each given a name made up of 3 words.

However: Emergency Services are warning that many are not putting the correct words when calling for assistance which can waste vital minutes of them reaching the needy.

A good idea, essential though to make sure that the information is right.

Apparently if use the plural instead of singular it thinks you're on the other side of the world.
