Thinking about it logically:
If #Coventry actually *were* merely another copyright trap like #Daventry is, what possible rational reason would there be for #Bedworth?
#daventry
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.
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.
Reasons #Daventry is a cartographic hoax:
Anyone who actually tries to get to it finds that the so-called "Daventry Road" off the M45 is cleverly a limited-access junction. One way leads to the arse-end of #Rugby, where DIRFT really is.
The other turns out to lead to HMP Onley, and a bunch of canal boat wharfs.
Again: One doesn't want to put one's copyright traps somewhere where people might want to go.
Reasons #Daventry is a cartographic hoax:
Daventry is cleverly placed in a No Man's Land part of #Northamptonshire, deliberately cut off by the M45 and M1, to prevent people accidentally driving there and finding that it is just all fields.
One doesn't want to put one's copyright traps somewhere where people might want to go.
The Romans never wanted to go to non-existent Daventry, obviously. Watling Street avoids it.
Reasons #Daventry is a cartographic hoax:
Everywhere else has Anglo-Saxon place name suffixes: Rug-by, Sout-ham, Bar-by, Kil-by, Ash-by, Buck-by, Cates-by, Mars-ton, Hey-ford, Wat-ford, Dod-ford, Staver-ton, et al..
Daventry's entry in the O.S. gazetteer was clearly added by a bloke named David. But xe didn't want to be too obvious that it was "Dave's Entry" in the list, made as a copyright trap.
Ha ha! Funny joke, Dave!
A poor substitute for a @lindasgoluppiart 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!
