there are 10 types of people in the world. Those that understand ternary, those that don't and those that think this a joke about the binary system.

When you see old maps they often show many PH marked on them, sometimes with several closely nearby! Yet I believe I'm correct in saying that the earlier O.S. maps didn't show Beer Houses that didn't have full spirit licences, so for the period of maximum provision we can't count on the maps. ( in both senses! )
