I recently travelled to Coleshill Interchange on the M6 to prove someone wrong on YouTube. (Actually, it was a visit to a distant #Homebase to seek out stuff for the relative, but I prefer this start to the tale.)
There were indications on the M6 that unlike #Daventry #Coventry actually exists, although I didn't make the side-trip to find out.
It would be sad to discover that it was really just tiny villages named Hillfields, Stoke, and Walsgrave.
I am surprised that the government allows your WWW page to exist, as it shows clear photographic evidence that within sight of the supposed #Daventry the view comprises nothing but trees and open fields and lonely BBC concrete blocks.
I fully expect the #Daventry hashtag to soon be filled with A.I. generated fake images of the hoax Daventry, trying to discredit my unmasking of the copyright trap.
Not even @lindasgoluppiart can provide convincing photographic evidence of the existence of #Daventry.
I find it revelatory that all of the pictures under the #Daventry hashtag are either trains running through empty fields, somehow because of Tesco, or some masts on a hill with ducks.
I might be the first person in the FediVerse to publicly expose this hoax.
I have set a nice soothing task for today.
A poor substitute for a @[email protected] task. Please spare a thought for Linda, who is currently a storm behind the rest of us. Today: Consider #Daventry. Is it real? Or is it a copyright trap placed by cartographers in the conveniently empty area between Northampton and #Banbury? If it were real, why is DIRFT, where the "D" supposedly stands for Daventry, actually next to #Rugby? Why did they call them Watford Gap services instead of Daventry? Does Daventry exist? Flecknoe! #SlowLife
Reasons #Daventry is a cartographic hoax:
The road to the prison and the canal wharfs is called "Daventry Road", but the canals are the Oxford and Grand Union. No "Daventry Canal", here. David's pull with the powers that be was limited when it came to the waterways, apparently.
The position of the copyright trap with respect to the canals is also somewhat clever. Neither canal *quite* reaches sight of Daventry, lest it be exposed by rich people in small boats.
