My early gps was a Garmin Streetpilot 111 high tech for its day and mounted on my Blackbird and linked to my Autocom so I heard directions. It had a very small memory and you had to download just enough mapping to get you there and back. In my case we had gone to Switzerland using it. Unfortunately I didn’t download any SE England mapping because I knew the route in needed to use. A20, M20, M25, M3, A303 and home - 250 miles. Easy

Except I missed the turning off the M20 onto the M25 and ended up going off route, and of course the satnag didn’t have a clue either. We ended up going into the centre of London (yes, I should have turned 180 and gone back to where I knew) and spent a good 45-60 minutes going in circles in places I’d heard of and knew I needed to avoid. It was reminiscent of newsreel stories of very 3rd world-ish places. I started to panic as did my wife, she was bursting for a pee, and despite that told me over the intercom DO NOT STOP until we are away from here. We got away finally and apart from an ambulance journey last year haven’t been back again in 25 years.

And no desire to go back either.

An elderly man was driving down the freeway one sunny Monday morning when his mobile phone started ringing. He didn’t have a “hands free” system so ignored the phone.

It stopped ringing for a couple of minutes before starting ringing again. Cursing the interruption to his relaxing drive, he picked the phone up, answering “Hello” gruffly.

His wife said,” Oh George! Thank heavens I’ve got you. I’ve just been listening to the radio and apparently some maniac is driving the wrong way down the freeway you’re on. Please be careful.” She pleaded.

One maniac!” he growled, “there’s bloody hundreds of them!”
 
It could be worse! In Australia, they drive on the wrong side of the road, Santa Clause comes in the summertime, the bathtub vortex goes backwards, and according to acotrel, they run their universe backwards! *

* thermodynamiccally, that is ....

No really us Aussies do everything the right way, the rest of the world has it all wrong, we even brew stronger beer here and after a few brews we also solve all the world problems, the hardest part is remembering it next day, it's only our pollies that stuff everything up and get things wrong as they go out to please the rest of the world, if only they listen to us drunken idiots that there be no problems at all.

....a bit like gear changers.
There's the "right" side (up to Mk2) which naturally makes the other ones the "wrong" side. ;)
I need a reaction that is a up thumb and a down thumb all in one for this one! Yes, right shift is right. However, my right foot disagrees with 1 up and 3 down! It has changed gears thousands more times with 1 down and 3 or 4 up!

I know, it is sacrilege bringing Triumph to a Norton fight - forgive me :( At least both sides of that argument were British born!

There's a YouTube channel I watch that originates from AU. A women on it was fishing for birthday greetings the other day for her 30th birthday (Friday, the 13th) and wondering why so few had commented. Her partner reminded her that over 2/3 of their audience is from the US - she didn't seem to get it. So, at 0001 on Friday the 13th in Virginia I commented "Now that it's actually your birthday, happy birthday from Virginia".

You Aussies can't even get the day right :D
 
Ashman , what is stronger beer ? Ale ? …. or a high percentage of alcohol like 7-10% or more ?

Actually, the day starts with Kiwis, we get it next - by the time it gets to you it's 3/4 used up!😉
 
No wonder. The Fosters we used to get here in Ontario came in a tin the size of an oil can.
