No, dates.twins.hurray is not a spectacular lockdown-breaking boast but the what3words address for nine square metres on the way into the emporium at East End. Just inside is lines.dozen.soup but, unfortunately, once.ticket.issued is on the pitch not somewhere between kiosk and turnstile.
The what3words GPS app, that is being adopted by the emergency services, divides the entire surface of the planet into a grid of squares. Each square measures 3 metres by 3 metres and is given a unique random three-word address.
The links above will take you to a map view but it gets much more interesting if you click the satellite view in the top left and the unlock "X" in the top right - that lets you move the map around and see what other squares are called. You can also zoom in and out.
pars.pars.pars is in Turkey, not too far from Izmir. It looks like there's a four letter minimum for the words used which has spoiled many of the things I've looked for, like east.end.park.
