When you put the post code in did you put a space in it ?
If you live in a small village try the nearest town ?
I HAVE to use my post code the stupid thing keeps moving me to the USA  >:(

Just put Leicester in as your location. Where is Bottesford?, I am from Leicester and have never heard of it.

ET you City dweller

follow the A46 north, then go east on the A52, 13 miles from Melton between Bingham (6 miles)and Grantham (6 miles).

Shows up on the map but cannot get the pin to move !!!
