Why Does It Happen To Us?
22 Answers
We are staying at St Aubin sur Mer. So we started to get organised for going out this morning. We were going to a place that made Benedictine. So put details in the satnav and were just about to take off when we realised it was a lot further away than we thought. Did some investigation and discovered another town called St Aubin sur Mer about 100 miles further along the coast. When OH had done his homework regarding days out he had used the wrong town. Consequentially all his hard work on days out were ruined as they were not in a good distance from where we are.
This happened to us a few years back, again in France, we were heading for a town, I can't remember the name now, and I like to use a map to see where we were going. I discovered we were heading for the wrong one, 250 miles adrift from where we were going, luckily we were able to rectify it.
Also today the sat nav really played up. We went to Caen and coming home every time I entered details in of the town we wanted it said 3 minutes away when we knew it was an hour. Ended up having to buy a new one as France would be too difficult without one.
What will tomorrow bring us I wonder!!

As well as the satnav not working. I can't get a signal on my mobile. I took it into a phone shop. They looked at it and said I have lost the roaming option and there is nothing. They can do with it.
Also I can't send emails. I can receive them but not send. I'm not having much luck with gadgets at the moment.

Oh I love your holiday tales, Caran....this reminds me of our holiday in Scotland with our caravan.....MrG asked me to navigate to Tarbert..I didn't know there are lots of Tarberts in Scotland and just picked on the first one I saw....unfortunately it was on an island and we were on the mainland.....it was some hours up a narrow, lost lane before he came to his senses and took the map away from me......
A thought.....you and I could set up a business......the C&G Mystery Tour Company........ :-)
