However, let's say that my scenic visit occurs in the extremes of outer Sevenoaks, on the south side of the deer park, where mobile signal is nil despite this being 20 miles from central London and in one of the most expensive parts of this green and pleasant land.
How do I know what the 3 words are for the ditch I am lying in, when I have no mobile signal to get on an app to find them?

First two numbers indicate the departement (large county) next 3 numbers indicate, for us, 4 villages, possibly 2000 inhabitants.

The sum if this is, it’s possible for people to misspell or mishear words so it’s a fallible solution.
That’s EVERY solution on the planet. It even says at the end that there’s no evidence it has caused issue, just that it could.
Feels like it’s been written for the sake of finding an opinion.
I don’t disagree with the notion that’s it ‘could’ cause issues, but it’s possibly the best/easiest solution out there right now imo.

Always good to look for those things, but as always the data of failures is king in that situation.
