I would rather do 10 miles in 15 relaxed minutes driving than 6 miles stuck in traffic for 1/2 hr!! :)
Tell me about it!

My SatNav (named Hex - non-Pratchett fans will not understand the link!) wanted to send me from Wolves by the Sea to Ffestiniog - via Telford, Wellington the centre of Shrewsbury ( :? ), the Horseshoe Pass and Ruthin!

What the heck is wrong with the A5? She knows better now.

Although driving along the new Portmadoc by-pass was fun. The new road isn't in Hex's memory so she crashed! :twisted:

Aren't I rotten? :lol:
If in doubt, give it a clout!

If that don't work, fetch a bigger 'ammer!

Hello Again

And lets not forget the times when that soothing voices casually tells you to 'Perform an illegal U-turn'. Even better when you are driving a stretch limo on a narrow country lane.

Ay up, Martin.

I know the answer to that one. In fact, I use it a lot.

Tell the sat-nav what to do with itself. This can vary from the frankly comic to physical impossibility.....
