    It'll be 700 yards away and tells you to head north, you start walking and it's then 900 yards away so you turn around to retrace your steps, FACT. :emoticon-0138-think

    I saw a young person in Blackpool walking up and down the street holding her phone in front of her. I asked her where she was heading, she said to Stanley Park. I said it is not the way, that is towards the Irish Sea. I pointed in the correct direction and asked is she needed directions, she declined, and again headed off in an incorrect direction, but not towards the sea. I suspect she had neglected to choose "on foot", and the phone was following the one-way system!

    Haha, as an aside Peter Jones was in the fourball two groups behind mine in Portugal a few weeks ago. He completed blocked a drive right and ended up on the side of the green I was hitting into, ending up about 3 yards in front of him on the green itself. I let him play first and to be fair, he recovered well onto the fairway he should have been on. He's as tall in real life as he looks, and he was very polite to me.

    Got bc a call from them Friday , I’m with them , could he make appt for fitting one
    Answer - no
    Why not ?
    Because they will allow you to bill when you want
    They are not reliable
    I pay reliably and know what I use or can save if I try
    He didn’t stay on the call any longer !

    Many countries nick other words and phrases, 'as American as apple pie', even though apple pie is British. :emoticon-0138-think
