Nice one Doris

Whilst on a work trip last week one of my best mates and colleague Gerald got to show me his new satellite Navigation. Now, I was a bit wary of such devices, I've always had a good sense of direction and quite like finding my way around new places. But then again I love gadgets and wasting money. So on the way back from Leek last Wednesday I popped into Halfords where the Garmin Street Pilot i3 was on offer. It was the same make and model as Geralds.

Within about 5 mins of leaving the shop it was up and running and giving me directions home. It's not the most expensive model in the world, not quite a Tom-Tom, but seems to work ok, although she can be a bit fussy at times especially at roundabouts. I say she, as I've chosen the British female voice, who I'm sure is a BBC Radio 4 announcer. Anyway I've nicknamed her Doris and she'll be helping me home again later today, once again from sunny Leek, what fun!

    My 'Dorris' takes to to places I didn't know I wanted to got to ...
    She would NOT let me out of Stoke on the road I wanted to use ... and I've never gone past so many active GATSO cameras in my life!
    Happy Days
