@sumudu I had an app when I first got an iPhone in 2010, but it seems to have disappeared somewhere along the way — it’s still installed on my phone, but no longer in the app store.
@sumudu I don’t travel in London often enough to use an app. The few trips I do make, it’s just crossing from one mainline station to another. I just look at the map on the wall, I’m afraid. Maybe someone else will have a more useful answer.
@kdfrawg I’ve not kept up with the last few, and I always found that I’d read one and be impressed, then read another and another and by the third, they were all seeming the same & I’d have to stop for a year or two. But there are a few bits that are good enough to stand out and stick in my mind.

@kdfrawg There’s a bit in one of Terry Pratchett’s books where he describes the shift to a scent-based view as the werewolf changes. One of the city watch books. It’s one of his good bits.

@kdfrawg They know about a whole world that we’re oblivious to.
// @ukhaiku @mrshaiku @c
@kdfrawg They certainly do! They were just heading off to sprint round the field again when we left.
// @ukhaiku @mrshaiku @c
@c Yes, but not much! Also, once the things have been retrieved once or twice, they probably smell of dog. Bembo is pretty good at finding hidden toys even when we haven’t deliberately scented them.

@kdfrawg It turned out that the people with the Springers hadn’t realised they were supposed to take the catnip out of its polythene bag, so their dogs were working at finding things that had been scented by being stored in a tin with a completely sealed bag of catnip — and they were still managing to find them!
