Not the make of boots that are necessary or common in the suburbs of Nottingham as they’re classed as ‘country boots’ but I love ‘em. Trouble is, I need help getting them off so if I wear them when my husband is away I’ll have to sleep in them I have a pair of Dubarry boots had them for 8 years they just won't wear out, do a lot of walking they are so comfortable. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

FLY2 10,108 Posted December 28, 2018 Report Share Posted December 28, 2018 Got the feral sis in law staying for ten days, so we might take her out tomorrow, and give my new sat nav a whirl. That'll be absolutely wonderful won't it ? Three women telling me what to do ! 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LizzieM 9,507 Posted December 29, 2018 Report Share Posted December 29, 2018 What annoys me about my satnav is that when the woman is giving vocal instructions it’s always when something really interesting is on the radio. I drive along telling her to shut up but she doesn’t listen to me. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FLY2 10,108 Posted December 29, 2018 Report Share Posted December 29, 2018 I tell Mrs Fly the same, then silence ensues for a while. She also yaps when the Radio 2 traffic report lady is on. Unbelievable. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

FLY2 10,108 Posted December 29, 2018 Report Share Posted December 29, 2018 I've not looked yet Margie, but I'll leave it as it is. As you know, the I love my maps, so I invariably only have to visit a place once for it to sink in. I rarely use satnavs, and often just ignore it, and go my own way. As it was a present, I'll have to find new roads to travel. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They didnt know either. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FLY2 10,108 Posted December 29, 2018 Report Share Posted December 29, 2018 I just release my pent up emotions, and swear repeatedly at mine. Oh, you mean the sat nav. Yes, I swear at that too. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
