I can direct people who are walking - but must remember not to direct them down small alleyways that are a short-cut for locals, but a maze for visitors!! |

I'm not bad at finding my way around (but I wouldn't have a clue about buses!) |

I am fairly good at giving directions when asked by stopped drivers but hate trying to take in info, they go so fast lol I definitely prefer landmarks like pubs or shops etc, helps so much to reassure that you are going the right way. |

This brings back a lovely memory from last year when I was in Sydney. |

As I have lived in this area most of my life I can direct most people in the right direction, but like Sharron use the names we have for certain areas. |

I have a friend who lived in Wigan and was going to Liverpool for a meeting. Somehow, she managed to get there by driving through the Mersey Tunnel??? She has never lived it down. |

My husband always had difficulty with left and right, so I would point in the direction we needed to turn. |

Before the M25 my neighbours were taking their three daughters and a couple of cousins to Prestatyn on holiday by Escort van (as you could then). |

As a Londoner we nearly always use the names of pubs as directions, there were just so many. |
