There's a Keep Clear - in a non-standard font - on the actual pavement there, I've never seen that before.

The K is especially amateurish.

For people like Cliff, there is no law but his.

They were so poor they could afford pavements.

It's scarier and more disorientating if you have a look around and then zoom out and try to get your geographical bearings.

Forgot about this place.

Those cars look like they're growling at each other.

I wonder if there's a house with the number 999?

This is number 1001, Stratford Rd, Solihull

and the house to the left must be number 999, but it doesn't seem to be numbered

The weird thing is, I knew that Stratford Road had the highest house number in Britain (it's on the opposite side of the road to this picture, and further out towards the M42) but I hadn't realised that I've actually been there. I've stayed in the Premier Inn just down the road loads of times, and bought picnics in the big Tescos.

I was straying in Goosegog Lane, on Donkey Down, above the caravan park in Wales where we used to go when I was young, trying and failing to find the dramatic reverse shot from the top of the hill I used to look up backwards at while swinging on the swings which faced out into the bay; and not only did I not find the view, but I found myself trapped in this sinister, liminal Sapphire and Steel-esque Welsh place.

Is it someone's farmyard? Or is it a street which you aren't allowed to drive along? And more importantly, can you find the way out and back to the B4342 and civilisation? Clue - it's not the most obvious possibility.

One of the things I miss most about being a child is the ability to just wander over to the swings in a park, and fly backwards and forwards with your own thoughts.

Yes. I spent many happy hours swinging and looking at Cardigan Bay and contemplating.

If I get a garden I'll get a swing for myself. Not bad for core and abdominal toning while feeling all free.

Not looking at it.

I hate you.

Gosh that's uncanny, it's only 25 minutes' walk from my best friend's house.
