If you need a passenger to look out the window and read the road names you might just as well have a street atlas.On the plus side,I have never heard of anybody breaking in to a car to steal the street atlas.

I think there should be lessons in how to drive with a Sat Nav - it helps if the passenger looks out of the window and perhaps reads the road names!!!

Blinkin' eck,if those engineers can't programme a sat nav to get them to the right address ,i wouldn't want them within a long sea mile of my meters ,the mind boggles Fred.

I think the house may already have a curse on it!

I believe there is some sort of computer programme that automatically adds my address to the one across the road,which appears incomplete when run through it.We recieve a lot of his mail and his household appliances are insured with the same company as mine and I receive phone calls asking me about repairs to things I don't own(but would like to).It seems they can't reveal his name when they call but we now have sussed it out.

Our council houses have a very strange name derived from Saxon words. In the village is a chapel converted into flats,also with a very obscure name derived from some flight of council fancy.

Of course,having two lots of queer names in the village causes much confusion in new postmen and I receive letters addressed to the flats too.It is usually bank paperwork and it is a good thing I am not nosy!

I suppose if this is all I have to moan about I can't be doing too badly!

I deleted my light-hearted comment Sharron as it appears to have brought your thread to a complete stop........

Should have told them to come back later, I know they are allowed access but they can't demand to come into your premises immediately unless its an 'emergency' - I think.

I don't think its the sat-nav's fault like computers they are only as good as the person using them, when people stop thinking thats were the problems start.

I'm actually shocked the sat-nav picked up what I guess is a side road rather than the main road, I know from living down a few side roads as a student most sat-nav's gave up when they reached the main street.

As the daughter of a long-distance lorry driver who has spent far too many years van driving I have never seen the need for sat-nav.
Now I really don't like them!
My address is 2 Council Houses,Country Lane,Vllage.Across the road,on the same post code,is 2 Country Lane,Village.

I have just had to get out of the bath and unpack all the boxes of incontinence pads from the cupboard under the stairs because two men from the electricity board wanted to check my meter.In fact they wanted to check the meter across the road but this is where their buttering sat-nav sent them!
