All Over The Map

I was sussing out the website of a certain national rubbish removal company–it looks like we'll have to move out of our current domicile very soon–and I noted they were making some impressive claims about the scope of their business in little old Perth. 

As you can see from their ad below they have Perth covered. They're confident, maybe even a little cocky. The attitude is very much step aside, we got this.

If you're not from our minitropolis you may need some help in understanding just how covered from Mount Lawley to Inglewood really means. I have provided a helpful map below to give you some idea of the awesome distances involved. 

The ad then lists the sort of jobs they do and the far flung places to which they travel. If you look at my second map the area in the top half that resembles a lap-banded haggis, represents their zone of operations.

No doubt they have plans to extend their business as far as Willetton, Hamersley and Fremantle, but until then, those million or so Perth residents who live outside what the Mythbusters call the butter zone will have to content ourselves with smashing things into small enough pieces to fit in the Sulo bin.
