[edit] 8W line?
The small village Clogheen of South Tipperary is directly situated on the 8W line. The 8W line runs through this beautiful picturesque village which is nestled in the foothills of the Knockmealdown Mountains.
What is "the 8W line"? And can a village be "nestled"? (Odious travel-brochure-speak, IMHO) -- Picapica 13:16, 22 April 2006 (UTC)
- I think 8 west of Greenwich (certainly a quick check on an atlas would appear to confirm as much), someone is using longitude/latitude speak. In this case it should be 8W or -8 longitude. Djegan 21:43, 22 April 2006 (UTC)
Go raibh maith agat, a Djegan. Longitude/latitude-speak as well as travel-brochure-speak, eh?! Is there no end to their gobbledeygookiness? :-) -- Picapica 21:54, 24 April 2006 (UTC)
