I R&R'd cos of the sexism in last 4 lines.

No, I didn't :-(

Calm down :-)

Think it is a funny ditty. Having spent last week continually being told to drive down one way streets the wrong way in Blackwood (with a brand new Garmin) would much have preferred my OH. Oh, and her Welsh lilt is so much nicer.

I missed it too Hayley but I assume it is this one

"I have a little Satnav
It sits there in my car
A Satnav is a driver’s friend
It tells you where you are
I have a little Satnav
I’ve had it half my life
It does more than the normal one
My Satnav is my wife
It gives me full instructions
On exactly how to drive
“It’s thirty miles an hour” it says
“And you’re doing thirty five”
It tells me when to stop and start
And when to use the brake
And tells me that it’s never ever
Safe to overtake
It tells me when a light is red
And when it goes to green
It seems to know instinctively
Just when to intervene
It lists the vehicles just in front
It lists those to the rear
And taking this into account
It specifies my gear
I’m sure no other driver
Has so helpful a device
For when we leave and lock the car
It still gives its advice
It fills me up with counselling
Each journey’s pretty fraught
So why don’t I exchange it
And get a quieter sort?
Ah well, you see, it cleans the house
Makes sure I’m properly fed
It washes all my shirts and things
And – keeps me warm in bed!
"

Somebody having a boring afternoon by the looks of it, somebody who need to get a life for goodness sake.

he is having memory problems with words;He struggles trying to find what he wants to say. has been diagnosed with dementia , probably age related. Its not Alzheimer at the mo but who knows. Very frustrating for him but at least I drive.

Seems he may be given medication that slows down the word loss. got to wait though till OCT for his next memory clinic appointment

Sounds like ME but hubby has now admitted he cant justify to still drive so he has admitted defeat and surrendered his driving licence.

Bless him he was a very good driver but recent memory problems he has finally accepted he really shouldn't be driving

Great poem

But my little satnav and driving expert is male - does not own a driving licence yet manages to comment on anything I do or say. Often tempted to stop the car, give him the keys and get out and tell him to get us to whereever we are going!!

Despite all these advantages
And my tendency to scoff,
I do wish that once in a while
I could turn the bloody thing off.
