I'm being lazy, so yeah sue me: Notes from Alfragide are entered as from Amadora? Right?

or .... Asking for a friend.
Depois explico.
Olá. Sim Alfragide é uma parte da cidade da Amadora. Portanto a localidade deve ser Amadora.

(English below, for lazy foreigners

)
Sim, Alfragide é atualmente (há 46 anos, de facto) uma freguesia dentro da cidade da
Amadora. O artigo da Wikipédia portuguesa sobre Alfragide está errado, ao dizer que é uma localidade.
Nota: há alguns espaços comerciais que se autointitulam «de Alfragide» mas não são em Alfragide, nem na Amadora. Se o sítio que te interessa
não é a IKEA (essa sim, na Amadora), mas está do outro lado dos «Cabos de Ávila» (a N117), na chamada «Zona Comercial de Alfragide»

, então provavelmente é um dos seguintes. Diz qual é, que eu te direi qual é a localidade correta:
- Alegro Alfragide (incluindo o Auchan Alfragide)
- Antarte Alfragide
- Auchan Energy Alfragide
- Caetano Auto Alfragide
- Cash Converters Alfragide
- C. Santos VP Alfragide
- Espaço Casa Alfragide
- Galp A.S. Alfragide N117 sentido descendente
- Holiday Inn Express Lisboa Alfragide
- Hôma Alfragide
- Leroy Merlin Alfragide
- Makro Alfragide
- MediaMarkt Alfragide
- Norauto Alfragide
- Obramat Alfragide
- Radio Popular Alfragide
- Repsol E.S. Makro-Alfragide
- Seaside Alfragide
- Staples Alfragide
English here:
Yes, Alfragide is now (and it has been for 46 years, in fact) a parish within the city of
Amadora. The Portuguese Wikipedia article on Alfragide is wrong, saying that it is a locality.
Note: there are some shops that call themselves "Alfragide" but they are not in Alfragide or Amadora. If the place you're interested in
isn't IKEA (which is in Amadora), but is on the other side of the "Cabos de Ávila" (the N117), in the so-called "Zona Comercial de Alfragide"

, then it's probably in the list above. Tell me which one it is and I'll tell you the correct location.

Obrigado Castanhola & lmviterbo : Eu convidei amigos para almoçar lá em casa, e bem depois de um bom almoço dois copinhos de vinho e todos estrangeiros, a falarem de tudo e de nada em Francês, Alemão e Inglês. A cabeça não dava para mais e eu cometi um erro e postei aqui e em Inglês
Eu juro que não foi o vinho que me fez fazer este disparate

Congratulations AEOVP and Josel on your first quadruple hit!
I am curious do you work at the same place, often track in the exact same area of Lisboa or is there some friendly hit action going on? (you know you can always moderate if some accidents happen)

Oh wow that's interesting, I really thought you must at least know each other.
Sorry if I sounded too accusatory and congratulations again on this even more amazing hit then
Hope I will also find a note of you at some point

I believe that AEOVP found, by chance, a hotspot, where Josel leaves his small notes often (for example, a supermarket).
I am pretty sure that AEOVP registers all their notes in the same postal code regardless of where they got the notes, and I believe it to be the postal code of their home or work, but not the place where they get most hits, the so-called hotspot.
Congratulations to all involved!

Obrigado, Inviterbo, for entering this
note I found back in a village butcher in Vichte. It was my first hit, this month, and immediately a very nice one (I got a second hit today, more local, shortly after).

Dankjewel, groentje! Our first hit.
I had a longish period without hits too, than I had two active ones on the same batch of withdrawn notes yesterday, and this one less than a day later.
It's my 6th hit ever with

West-Vlaanderen, each of them with a new EBTor. It's a fruitful region.

Thank you also for entering this note first. I'm very happy with this hit, as it's the
eighth hit involving Northern Ireland, and one of the most interesting of those eight hits.
