A great read Mr Scubi sorry to hear about Rex.

Ditto scubi.

Re: your, "I had many names for her after Burn Moor, all unprintable!" on satnavs - we could almost start a separate thread on the ups and downs of owning one :-) The funniest thing that ever happened to us was when visiting someone who lives on the coast. We parked in front of her house and, before locking the car, I popped the satnav in to me bag (forgetting to turn it off!!!). All went well for about half an hour and then our host asked if we'd like to see the rest of the house. At the top of the stairs a loud and clear voice suddenly called out from me bag - Turn around when possible!

eeek!

Thanks to everybody kind messages about Rex. He has left a big hole in my life that is proving very difficult to fill but I am sure he is running around some stoney structure somewhere just like he use to love doing.

On the subject of Satnav's I must admit mine has proved to be worth the money I paid for it. Even if it doesn't take me right to a location it gets me close enough so that I can (normally) find it...providing I have a map as back-up that is ;o)
And yes I have had a few funny experiences with them myself including leaving it switched on after catching a tube train into London. It didn't say a word until the train reached a open section of track, located itself and yelled out those self same words at me and everybody around me :o)

Saying that I did think of investing in the SatMap Active 10 but when you consider the cost of the maps for it let alone the GPS, I have decided to stick with my Tomtom and OS maps...much cheaper.

:o)
