Mentioned another one - blanks all round.<BR/><BR/>It was only when my dad noticed he was holding a guidebook to 'Constable Country' that the truth began to dawn.<BR/><BR/>"Constable Country? Isn't that Suffolk?"<BR/><BR/>"Yes. Aren't we in Suffolk?"<BR/><BR/>"No. This is Sussex."<BR/><BR/>"Oh."<BR/><BR/>Turns out he'd had a mjor misunderstanding with the M25.Tim Fhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14681067872556519250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16460150.post-72822121273016994632008-04-10T19:56:00.000+01:002008-04-10T19:56:00.000+01:00MJ - The wheel would have been in the right genera...MJ - The wheel would have been in the right general direction.

You would only land up in the lake if the CN Tower was surrounded by the lake, or if the lake were between you and the tower.<BR/>The same logic applies to your nonsense about the wheel. A visible landmark is only useful if that is your destination. Silly girl.<BR/>Giving directions? Don't bother: in my view one place is much the same as another.Vicus Scurrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13731007799031343701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16460150.post-53932083898108770462008-04-10T15:19:00.000+01:002008-04-10T15:19:00.000+01:00I use the mountains as a landmark as in "Drive tow...I use the mountains as a landmark as in "Drive toward the mountains."<BR/><BR/>Or when I lived in Toronto it was, "Drive toward the CN Tower."...but not too far or you'll end up in the lake, ha ha ha.<BR/><BR/>Don't you have some sort of massive landmark as a navigational aide?
