...haha, where would we teenagers have been without dads/parents and their 'taxi cabs' Annie...and, it's incredible isn't it..before the invention of computers/google/sat navs...they always knew exactly where they were going/how long it would take to get there etc....

....the 'Bath' incident, Verbal was once when we were travelling from London to Wales....and somehow we ended up in Bath in a circular traffic system in the city centre...we were going with other people so there were quite a few cars following each other and as we all got more and more frustrated, every now and then we would all stop/have 'discussions' and someone would say..yeah, I know where we're going now, no worries just follow me...'..and the 'leader' would change to someone else..?...30 minutes or so later, we would end up right back to that 'discussion' point...I think it took around 4 hours to get out of Bath..?...
