Another fine example of how progress really isn’t progress at all. We have more ways in this world to stay in touch than we ever have and we’re more out of touch than we’ve ever been. Give me a paper map over sat nav any day. I find sat nav supremely annoying anyway. Give me a real book with pages and a cover. I like the way they feel. I do not need my phone to act like a baby’s busy bag with games to amuse myself with while waiting. I’ll read a real book. And actually Fred, I loved the way the man gave directions and understood them perfectly.
My mother used to give me directions by saying something like: Go left at Jane Smith’s old house, then right at the corner where the Johnsons used to live." Of course, Smith was Jane’s maiden name, and I don’t know where she used to live. And I never heard of the Johnsons!

So a man finally asks for directions and this is what he gets. Time to use your nose Fred!

I remember this: ‘Turn right at the white church’.After driving for miles… Reason: ‘the white church burned down a few years ago’.

Take a right at where the old Almacs used to be.

You live anywhere long enough and most places used to be something else. “Remember when Mario’s Pizza used to be the Old Bakery?”

Directions from the locals, often are not directions, but are a history of the area.

If the Sat-nav break down, why not use the phone as it had the Google map or nav apps on it.
