Grandad. All men are infatuated with her. And that's exactly why I refuse to allow her in the car unless she's gagged! :D Spot on! Grandad. All men are infatuated with her.

I will probably end up using that other new technology... maps. JA - I'm used to annoying ladies. Some of those machines could be programmed with my own voice. Yech!

I've never driven with anyone who has one who hasn't ended up shouting at the stilted American lady and turning her off. But maybe your lady will be less annoying. Good luck!

The problem with the yokes is that they can't think and believe everything that is programmed into them. I had friends bombing down a German autobahn one day when the Sat Nav told them to turn left - a road that went towards where they wanted was passing overhead - the problem was that the nearest junction was miles away. There was a piece in the Daily Telegraph last year about caravans becoming wedged between the walls either side of a lane in an English country village, because the drivers had just followed the instructions and had disengaged their brains.
