fastbob Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 I've just installed the What Three Words app . Basically it could save yours , or someone else's life , by pinpointing exactly where you are to within a few yards . Just find the three words that identify the grid square you're in and tell the emergency services . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerontious Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 where Im sitting right now has the word "Preoccupied" within the three.. which is oddly appropriate. and my bedroom next door: "Risen".and funniest of all... the bikes position. "Broken" and "Engine" I kid you not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
