So I'd like to know if it 'knows' where you are right now.


I didn't get a pinpointed location: the map displayed a circle some
thirty miles in diameter. Even taking the nearest point on the rim
of the circle to me, the site was over sixty miles out.


It tells me that I am somewhere in the middle of London, whereas I'm
actually between Bury St. Edmunds and Norwich. Oops.


The Welsh border runs through my village, yet apparently I'm in
Bedford...


I told the apprentice that the black line on my satnav was the border of
Isengard. We were in Chester and travelling South on the A483 at the time.
He never questioned it.


If you kept going and got to London, he'd have to believe it.
