Satnav !!!!!!!
Wash your mouth out.


Yup. Just finished a pint of tea.


I'm a map person.
Preferably OS maps which I read like a book.


Yes, I like mysteries, too! ;~)

You get them from cheap maps and more often from on line route planners



Too right! You're talking to someone who, when asked "how far is it
to the next turn off?", answered "Half an inch" !! Well, I didn't
know if it was 3 or 5 inches to the mile because the map have been
folded to a show a specific area, so I gave the only measurement I
could. That's my excuse and I'm glued to it.

Seems perfectly reasonable to me. I did almost exactly that just yesterday!




Thank you, Sacha! I thought it was reasonable, too, but RG has dined
out on it a few times already. Apparently, many people fail to see the
reason in it. It doesn't help that I'm blonde, old, over the hill and
far away :~}.

So that's where you really were.
At least you didn't buy a road atlas with maps printed with both north at the
top and north at the bottom, for out going and return journeys. It isn't clear
how those going from east to west or west to east are supposed to use it.





Martin ... what's 'east' and 'west'? ;~)
