About 10 years ago I was first introduced to a Sat Nav. I was going away for the weekend 
with a friend and her Uncle had this state of the art piece of equipment in the car. I was blown away, when we moved, the map moved. It was amazing and told us which way to go. It even said how long it would take us to get there. Until there was a road closed and the Sat Nav no longer knew the way and calmly told us to “turn around when possible”. Twice. We drove around in a comedy circle twice before we realised there was a problem. We turned it off and got a map out. It started to rain. It was a rubbish trip all round. That was when it cost hundreds to buy a Sat Nav.
We’ve all heard the horror stories, idiots obeying their Sat Nav religiously and ending up 2 days later 400 miles away from the intended destination. Some wonder if people actually have their own brains. Sat Nav’s certainly have their flaws and their fair share of bad press; I had become increasingly unimpressed by their ability and always used with added caution.
civil servant if you like. As a representative and defender of Queen and Country, it had been entirely inappropriate for him to be on Facebook or any sort of social media. However, this all changed on retirement and he decided to give social media a go – much to my amusement.
