Sat Nav is of the devil - or - use your brain

I couldn't believe my ears when I was driving around this evening - or more accurately, on the way to badminton to play energetically but fall very ungracefully on my bottom (in slow motion I think).

BBC delivered the news that an Essex ambulance ended up going 200 miles in the wrong direction because their Sat Nav was faulty. 'Hmmm that must be a long journey' I think to myself. Then I realise they were meant to be completing a journey of 12 miles. I don't care what excuse they give about the Satallite Navigation system in the ambulance being faulty, there comes a time where a person has to be responsible for their own actions. Driving to Manchester when aiming for a town 12 miles away is not acceptable (unless you live 12 - perhaps 20 miles away from Manchester).

Use your brain.
