Bloody Sat Nav

This is Faye, she lives in John’s car (when he is travelling). She lives a very precarious life – at any moment she could be dashed from the windscreen and sent flying out of the passenger window.
I hate Sat Navs, as many of you know. They are an excuse for idiots not to learn to read a map – a life skill that I believe everyone should at least try to learn.
I have no problem with Sat Navs if you are totally unable to read a map despite trying to learn (you know who you are!), or you travel alone a lot to places that are hard to find and driving and map reading at the same time is dangerous or difficult (as John does when he visits clients).
What really annoys me are the idiots who blindly (?) follow what their sat nav says – even when it takes them up a farm track, to the edge of a cliff or down a one way street the wrong way.
I should just qualify that part of my hatred of the things is due to the fact that a Tesco lorry ripped a large gash in my car as he was trying to squeeze down a country lane which he shouldn’t have been on but which his sat nav had sent him down.
So, for the time being Faye is allowed in the car – mainly as a source of amusement and a focus for my insults!
