My youngest son drives round the country a lot,, he'll say things like ''went to Hereford yesterday Dad'' i say did you go through so and so ?.....dunno he says ,just followed me sat-nav'' i think how sad................

I know what you mean PP,,...I'm ok getting to any city,,,,but then the Cities have changed so much in the last 20 years i have to ask and pull over,, so prob' need a Tom tom as well,,but only for the inner Cities.....game in it lol

Travelled the country all of it,, from the 60s until this year with work,,,used to be given a place destination and just went and found it............there was great satisfaction back in the day......look on a map,,work out the route to go...then set off....would do the same even now ,,loved it,,last mile or two would ask a local where such and such street is ? Sat-navs ? no way,,just make people lazy,,and add to the no talking to strangers syndrome,,....its good to talk,, Hope to get back in the 'Saddle' as it were,, Missed my early morning starts to foreign parts,,reckon 6 months be back at it.......Glasgow,, Cardiff,, Penzance,, John a groats,, not a problem,, Ben will be there,, no sat-nav thanks..........
