Mum, Do You Know the Postcode For Warwick Castle

mum said she needed a stiff drink me, at the wheel, closing my eyes and actually praying a rented car, a wide car narrow roads tractors and horses getting my brexercise not knowing how to use the GPS getting beeped at the first crossroads on returning the vehicle Linfold, at the car rental place gave me a fist bump he said to me you're a great driver then he walked around the other side a scratch along the door a dented wing mirror we took buses for the rest of the trip

Even with a sat nav it can be so difficult navigating unfamiliar roads, we borrowed a tom tom when we went to the Uk - turned it off as it was pretty useless and her voice grated lol. I love the humour here Christopher - I would use buses too OR let mum drive lol:-) hugs Jan xx

Thank you Jan, you have a very kind soul. Yes, sat nav voices are an interesting subject. I live in Beijing and the roads are relatively new and very wide. Enjoy your day.

Very good Tom. I hope when instructing in the passenger seat you're as witty as your comments.
