General Chat

Yes, we used to call it a Sunday Rally, Allan. We could never have been confused with 'the real thing'. Fun while it lasted but some of the competitors were quite old ..... all of 40/45 - so the pub would have been more their natural habitat. ;-) :-0

Don't forget - I was the youngest by about three or four years. :-D

My son has to meet some of his customers at a particular area of a very large farm. If they followed a satnav they would end up at the farmhouse down inappropriate roads and be nowhere near where they needed to be. He gives them the "what3words" address which takes them to the exact spot where they need to be.

Seems like a good idea to me (although I don't really understand it) , and yes, the local police use the system too.

Dear Gwyn

Hello

We still have a large A-Z Atlas of London in our sitting room and a smaller version to take on trips.

We taught the youngsters the old fashioned method of using grid references, capital letters across the top of the page and the numbers, down the left hand side.

Also, to identify the nearest landmarks if emergency call was needed.

Of course, now with Satnav's no one takes any notice. :-S

Take gentle care
Love Elizabeth, EOS
