Alien Spaceship at Potters Bar - Slightly OT
 

Hi

Anyone here with sat nav in their car ever visited the M25 services at
Potters Bar, junction with the A1?

Been there twice in the last month and both times my sat nav has locked out
completely - only way to reset is to disconnect the battery.

What the hell is doing that?

Knackered SatNav - the services are at South Mimms (J23)

Potters Bar is the next junction east (J24)


It's THEM, monitoring your every move before they suck your brains out.

It would seem that Drivel lives fairly close to there by his love of MK,
etc. So his transporter to Zog might well interfere.

EMC problem perhaps... Any big transmitters in the area?

My little Garmin GPS V copes round there ok (did so twice last week ..
and driving past Brookmans Park)?

It's only ever locked up once and that was down to some faulty
firmware (re flashed it with the previous version with the laptop in a
carpark and all was well again g).

It has recorded my max speed at 440 mph once though .. and I haven't
even got a Prius!

All the best ..

My Garmin suggested a max speed of something in excess of 2800 mph. I do
not own a hotted-up SR-71. Perhaps it was down to using it in the US
followed by UK that did it.

That would be a cool screen to show yer mates down the pub when they
were boasting about their car speeds though wouldn't it .. ;-)

SR-71 'GTi' (with afterburners) ;-)

That could be it .. it was homesick and wanted to get back fast?

Maybe like Al Murray (The Pub Landlord) says about the 'Chunnel' and
the speed differences between English and French trains ... It's not
that the trains can't go fast over here just they prefer it here and
want to spend as little time in France as possible! ;-)

Well, it is Friday .. ;-)

All the best ..

My garmin overreads the max speed everytime I go for a walk (I've often
had over 20km/h displayed).
