Ya, I realised that after I went poking around that I too can edit, since my Google acct is logged in, but I spent far too much time trying to figure out how to move something, only to realise you can't, you can only add new, then delete old.

Who thinks up some of these UI scenarios sometimes, honestly, the state and usability of web properties is just getting worse!
Been around I.T. since the Beeb was born, maybe you've seen me around :D

Thanks whoever deleted my old pin, new one added in Kenton, Devon.
My PC had the edit, but phone didn't, neither did my work PC, although I was logged in because the email was working - different tab maybe!

Added my pin in Greece.

You do need to be logged in to Google, and it is a bit cryptic how you add a pin.

My Mum lives in Kenton! Small world. Hope the move went ok and you are settling in well. We'll have to go for a pint next time I'm down there - shame the pub is currently shut.

Yep, my daughter works the odd shift in the restaurant which she says allows drink without food, but is probably mistaken.
The walk to star cross (*+ ;)) is OK, but the brambles make it single file in quite a few places but there are pubs there.

Hi,

I live in Runcorn, Cheshire, UK.

I only lurk in the background, mainly due to lack of Acorn knowledge.

But saying all that,I have 5 BEEB, 2 Electrons, 2 Masters, mainly I use emulators for programming.

I like the hardware development performed on Stardot, but I am not that good at that either.

An ambition,would be to attend an Acorn Show in the future.
Regards,

Derek

You'll enjoy the aircraft noise there, I'm sure. I'm just across the water in Tain, and visit Elgin often for work.

Sounds like a plan - I've got a few jobs coming up over in Elgin: two over in the college and one in the distillery by Tesco.
