Britain (England most likely), arse end of nowhere, some brown signs. This has the whiff of another sodding battlefield or maybe Stonehenge-type business

I logged back on just now as had a whole bunch more screenshots of that area ready to go, showing all the lovely 25-to-40-year-old cars parked in the surrounding streets – a Fiat Tipo, an Opel Kadett, a Renault Clio, a Ford Sierra, a Corsa or three, a VW Passat, a Seat Ibiza, a potentially 50-year-old Renault 4 (!), you name it. Go for a little jaunt around a block or two and you'll also find a Renault 5, two Fiat 500s, a mk2 VW Golf, what I could swear is a Metro, a Beetle, a Peugeot 205 and 305, a Citroen ZX, a Fiat Panda, the list just goes on and on. I can't say how bizarrely happy it makes me, I feel like a kid again. All pointless posting it now, though, of course.
Meanwhile, the spot was the very first one I added to my "I'll use this place someday" shortlist over a month ago when I started it soon after joining this game. We'd been looking for something else potentially down that corner of Europe, and afterwards I zoomed out with more or less the whole of the Adriatic on view, grabbed the StreetView pegman and simply dropped it at random somewhere along the Croatian coast... and found that I'd landed literally right next to this whacking great Roman amphitheatre that I'd never heard of before at Pula. Was so amazed and taken with this that I started my list specially to make sure I didn't forget it and to share in the game when the time eventually seemed right.

Having said that, there are of course loads of capybaras, so it's got that going for it.

On our side of the river there's a place called Liebig, which had a similar industry back in the day. It contains Argentina's National Monument to Corned Beef (yes, really). It's just a roughly eight-foot model of a tin of corned beef. My mate who used to live in that part of the country his wife headed to Liebig each spring for what they called their 'annual family portrait', which was a photo of the two of them standing next to it. Having spent a couple of weeks house- and pet-sitting for them one summer, we started to see the attraction. There isn't a tremendous amount to do.

And here are the (very unimpressive) remains of a monument to the place where we are (it's down a slightly different road and not visible on streetview unless you're directly looking at it). How are the mighty fallen!
