Why are people so bad at giving directions? I went to get some curtains from a lady up the road and I was given awful directions, needless to say I didn't get them, but will try again tomorrow. Why do people insist that you know where a certain place is even when you tell them you're new to the area? Satnavs are pretty useless round here, most of the time they dont' work, they dump you in the middle of a village and tell you you've reached your destination, or they dump you at the extreme end of a postcode area. This might be less of a problem in a town where you have rows of houses and there might be a couple of postcodes in a street, but not here, many houses, mine included don't have numbers, but names, the houses are fairly spread out and some have long drives and you don't know if theres a house down there or a field. Even looking at google maps was a waste of time, it was really out of date, pointing out places that don't exist, never existed or no longer exist. One place it marked out is s restaurant that changed it's proposed name before even opening, it has the name that it was never called, the restaurant opened in 2018 and it apprears the map hasn't been updated since then. Bl00dy technology, I'd rather have an old fashioned map,at least it's then up to me to keep it up to date, rather than have to rely on something that lies to you, we're told it's all up to date when it's not it's a lie.
Well thats my rant for the evening!
