lost

[cab]

Recently I bought a Sat Nav for the car.
Today I thought I'd try it out on my day of.
Am I the only one to get lost with one of these?
A journey of 15 mile took me 32 mile.
Oh on about bosses today on another thread, I am the boss, and hold down a very responsible job.
Oh man, I will keep this to myself.

[logic]

LoL.
I borrowed my wifes sat nav the other day, to go to Leek, I was really up on the Staffordshire moors,

Come back the way I knew, Buxton -matlock.

but they are very clever.

You are not the only one, I still cannot help laughing at Earl Spencer's daughter who hired a taxi to take her to Stamford Bridge to see Chelsea play.

She ended up in Stamford Bridge Yorkshire!!! Lol.

My only adverse experience is taking me a slightly roundabout route to effectivey turn around - other than that it has been brilliant, taking me door to door even to remote country addresses.

If you put in a post code and house number, you shouldn;t go wrong, but they do require a degree of common sense and a basic sense of where you are going - the famous story of the woman who was going to Stamford Bridge to see Chelsea, and ended up at the original Stamford Bridge is just silly - when you are one hundred miles up the M1 and you should be in Greater London, surely the penny drops?

Oops, cross-posted with funnygirld there - didn't know it was Earl Spencer's daughter, and they say the ulpper classes are in-bred and terminally thick ....

No chance for me then if the lorry drivers are having problems. He He.
