@peteashton and @BhamPostJoanna wondered " Is it possible to get a feed for twitters from a specific city?".
@aeioux pointed out http://twittermap.com
Twittermap, while it relies on twitterers twittering their location, gives results according to where twitterers are / were recently.
This yahoo pipe instead searches a twitterers' friends (any twitterer whose friends you can view) for the location in their profile. So the result is not 'live', but reflects where the friends are based.
Here's a first hack using yahoo pipes. The page parameter is for when there's more than 100 friends to deal with.

Nice work! Let me know when you get any further. I just noticed your twitterbot found me too.
Stef,
Thanks. It was a decent first try, but doomed to failure.
Perhaps @mawhin_bot1 will fare better.
