Well... I think that's a slightly random!
I zoomed well in, and clicked on my button and then the "Move this pin" coloured link... and then clicked on where I'd rather it was. I ended up fairly close after a lot of trying, but some of my clicks resulted in it being placed several miles away... I wonder what it would make of a postcode + UK in the location text box?

It barfed on my postcode. It worked out where Welshpool was eventually though, after a few goes of trying to put me in Cardiff.

I tried it with my postcode and it moved me to Wallsend! And I still can't get it within a mile - but its first effort at the town ends up several miles away... ho, hum... I wonder about all the anonymous London entries and "AOL" just offshore from the Isle of Man?

Just click the "move this pin" text and enter your flippin' postcode in the location box.

Dougal, I am dissapointed with you

It won't let me put an email address in, it gives me '' instead of the @ I need, and then laughs and throws me out.

It did that for me, then I used a smaller photo (one that was avatar sized) and it seemed to work - may of course have just been luck, but perhaps worth a try if you haven't?
