Define "slow" for a printed atlas? Should we be pulping them each minute? Day? Week? > I think we all have different opinions on this (it will likely take months > for the work to be done at least 6 weeks was the latest I heard this > morning) and don't we pride ourselves about having the most up-to-date > information and what is on the ground?! There's a difference between providing up-to-date data, and being unnecessarily misleading. For example, there's a section of the A82 on Loch Lomond that was only one lane wide, and controlled by traffic lights. It was marked as two-way, but at any one instant it is, of course, one-way. Should we have marked it as one-way and flipped the direction every 90 seconds? Of course not. Should remove a railway line when it's closed for overnight engineering works? Is a field flooded for a week now a lake? > Permanent versus temporary is very subjective and people will have different > opinions. As with anything. But I suspect that a sensible group of people will come to a sensible answer in every case. In the two at hand, the railway is still a railway, and the Levels are fields, not lakes. Unless, of course, there are people who are deliberately looking for an argument...
