Don't you find whenever you're lost in the countryside this guy turns up.

Hi

Some one stopped me a while back for directions to London, well he was foreign, and was in a very posh BMW, I said you are about 200 miles away, head that way and ask someone else in a while.

Cheers

Dave

I remember years ago asking for directions in Glasgow and was given pub names for directions. Laughing Laughing Laughing

Is there any other way to find your way around Glasgow? Laughing

Having said that I give directions by curry restaurants! Wink

Back in 1970 I was lost in Bristol and asked a passing Irish workman the way to the bowling centre. He told me it was near where he was working, on the other side of the city, if I gave him a lift he could show me.
I later discovered I was only two hundred yards from it at the time.
Great way of getting a lift to work and I really couldn't feel angry with him.
