..like that thunder clap website

colour coded preferably so that if you're apoplepltic it's a vilent red and if you are totally chilled a cool blue

Sorry for suggesting no-one had heard of the place Lilymaid!

Lilymaid · 02/08/2006 11:11

I was brought up in Thames Ditton, though live nowhere near there now. It must be my fault

Salamander · 02/08/2006 11:08

hahahahaha Skribble

Skribble · 02/08/2006 11:05

Perhaps there is just one person there who hasn't figured out how to put mumsnet in her favourites and has to google everytime she wants to log on .

Salamander · 02/08/2006 10:59

ahhhhhhh the mist is clearing

MrsBadger · 02/08/2006 10:48

DH thinks it's because there are huge servers or something in Thames Ditton, possibly Claranet or someone equally huge, so lots of net traffic is routed through there.

NotQuiteCockney · 02/08/2006 10:48

I'd assume it's proportionate to population? Also, that's just about who searches google for "mumsnet".

But yeah, very weird.

Salamander · 02/08/2006 10:45

What I want to know is this...

How can a village with a population of 5,500 that no-one has heard of have the highest MN usage in the world?!?!?

Salamander · 02/08/2006 10:43

It's in Surrey apparently
Have a look at this

acnebride · 02/08/2006 10:42

funny, that's the Thames Ditton Town Council slogan

NotQuiteCockney · 02/08/2006 10:41

Where the f is Thames Ditton?

trinityrhino · 02/08/2006 10:38

throbbing PMSL thats a great idea

Salamander · 02/08/2006 10:35

Carmenere · 01/08/2006 19:16

Wouldn't a lot of us be up our own arses? How would tech show that I wonder....

MrsBadger · 01/08/2006 19:14

surely tech does this already, they just don't tell us, and watch secretly as we potter about from washer to dryer / walk round and round block with pram / get lost driving round Leicestershire etc

Anyway, according toGoogle Trends, most of us are in Thames Ditton...

perhaps there should be a micro diary board with video clips styreamed from mobiles when you click on a posters name

It'd be good if you could tag people on this map and follow them around their daily business.
Surely MN could inject us all with a kind of chip, like they do with pets?

God, what is you could see that your whole street was lurking

Salamander · 01/08/2006 10:12

doesn't that defeat the point of Zippi's exercise, Edam?

edam · 01/08/2006 10:09

But could we pretend we were somewhere more exciting and glamorous? I'd like to be in Paris in my virtual world.
