Sylvan Way
"Sylvan or silvan refers to an association with the woodland. Specifically, that which inhabits the wood, is made of tree materials, or comprises the forest itself. The term can also refer to a person who resides in the woods or a spirit of the wood. In mythology, the term also refers to deities or spirits of the woods.
The term in English is from the Latin silva meaning "forest, woods." (wiktionary)
They've got a few trees down here, so I guess that's fair enough.
Not sure about the Wood Spirit stuff though...Malt Whisky, possibly....

Zero Degrees
The stone marks the Greenwich Meridian as it passes through Coney Hall Park. A few months ago I heard a report on the radio that the people who run the GPS system claimed that the meridian line marker at the Royal Observatory was 100m out of place. How a totally arbitrary line on the ground chosen by the Royal observatory 300 years ago can be in the wrong place beats me! Where the line was drawn is where it is, and always will be until international agreement decides to move the Image to somewhere else.
