lovingbothI find it really interesting that I have a very hard time remembering people's names /faces /usernames, but have no problem with places.
Sample one: driving along on a main road somewhere in Yorkshire, 'Ah ha, there's an ice cream parlour near here, we went six years ago!' Ten miles of country roads later, there it is, on the bend that I remember.
Sample two: visiting a foreign city for the first time in about fifteen years, I can recognise the remainder shop where I bought some CDs, DVDs and watches. Oh, and one of the local equivalent of TheWorks chain where I had bought a puzzle.
