While “campsite” is confusing for Americans (like myself) and Aussie’s, it is the correct British English term for what we call a “campground”, and a (camping) “pitch” is what we call a “campsite” or “tent site”.
Hence the value should have include something like “pitch”. I suppose this is fair payback for Americans having designed most websites and programming languages without regard for British spelling or word definitions. :-) Joseph On Thu, May 23, 2019 at 7:21 AM Graeme Fitzpatrick <graemefi...@gmail.com> wrote: > > On Wed, 22 May 2019 at 14:12, Tod Fitch <t...@fitchdesign.com> wrote: > >> Please excuse possible Americanisms.
