Strange Location Issue

I realise this is possible a repeat of the geocoder problems that we've seen, bit the result is a bit weird here.

I placed a few turfs in a rural location (near Taunton, Somerset, UK) but stupidly didn't pay attention to the location. When I went to upgrade them, I noticed the location was listed as ", , United Kingdom"

The capo is listed as another guy who's closest turf is about 100 miles away, and one of his title is "Capo of".

Presumably this is another fault with the geocoder, making up a town and county with empty strings for names, and spread around the country. I was wondering how wide spread this particular problem was, and if anyone had found a solution?

That usually results from missing information on google maps. Find enough of those spots and you'll be Capo of United Kingdom

Much as I thought, although I have to correct you on one point - it's not Capo of the UK I'd get, but Capo of , as iplayer already has.

This problem is all over Canada too. And actually you will become capo of the province/state by getting these. It happened in nova scotia. A guy with way less turf became capo of the province that way.
