Now, kind sir, would you please explain what Copse means?
Similar, but not exactly the same as, spinney. 8-)))
Small group of trees.
Copse in London translates as 'Luxury development of flats
or houses
available shortly'.

So the same as "meadow", "ancient woodland" and "flood plain", then?
Goodness me, no:
Meadow = slip road
Ancient Woodland = bypass
Flood Plain = industrial area

This is brought home to me quite regularly when I walk along the side of the
river when there's a very high tide lapping over the berm - which is at the
height of the 1st floor windows of the nearest houses...
I hope this thing works:

It's been used a total of 30-odd times, of which 14 are in the last five
years. Does that tell you anything?
