Jack Campin - bogus address

From my house, poo takes 2 hours to reach the sea after a 19-mile
trip along a route I'd never have guessed (into a completely
different watershed).

This seems to me to have potential for gambling on poo races - you'd
need to allocate the starting points somewhat randomly, but it isn't
at all obvious whether poo starting in Middlesbrough would beat poo
from Norwich: you could have a wait of some hours before the result
was obvious.

Why not drive to the sea in 15 or 20 minutes, and deliver it directly?
