Penelope: It's been twenty years Adhdysseus: yeah i got distracted

The Nao Victoria, a replica of the first ship to circumnavigate the globe, on its way out of London just now. Really quite dinky

Idea: combine Pokémon Go, the Merlin bird app, and the Skycards planespotting thing to make an immersive game where you have to track down and collect a fleet of ice cream vans (identified by model / chimes / IP infringing artwork)
