I'm being thick...What does a red star on a street map represent?

[zephyrcat]

Can't think what it is for the life of me!

post office

f**ked if i know!
isn't there a key for the map?

mrs badger, you are so smart! how do you know that?

Of course! Thank you, was driving me mad!

Brownies

One of the small people has removed the key page!

naughty small person!

nothing wrong with brownies, mrs b

i thought a post office was a little envelope symbol

on an atlas a red star is the capital city

erm ... if you are looking online, doesn't the star represent the location you specified (x marks the spot)?

depends on map scale
Most atlases showing capital cities don't show post offices

har de har har

pret a manger

It means your in Russia.
