Mel E Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 Or was it lack of an adequate strength signal? Mel E ==== Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jana Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 Probably thought that you were going to leave it attached to the windscreen when you parked - and got frightened.... Hmmm remarks like that are bound to rile people and although seem funny at the time, are not really very nice. The 1980's stereotypes have been brushed away by now. I wouldn't leave a sat nav in a vehicle anywhere, even in the leafy crime-free south. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Tracker Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 My cousin married a scouser and when ever I need new tyres or some nice new alloy wheels I ring my cousin (Janet), she tells her husband, he rings his brother in Loverpool and whatever I order arrives at my door the following day so who ever said that Liverpuddlians don't know how to give good service was quite wrong!

Tomo3090 Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 Liverpool City Centre has had more building work than Basra in the last 12 months entire blocks of buildings have disappeared and new ones have been put up. Streets that existed at Christmas 2007 are now just hardcore. There isn't a sat nav system anywhere that could keep up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROON Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 I typed in the Marie Curie Hospice and ended up at a college in Rainhill!!!!! :-( One of many of my problems with a satnav in Liverpool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brock Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 Liverpool is having a billion pound shopping centre plus a five billion pound development around the city centre and docks. Not only are there road works, some roads have disappeared. There are numerous people I know who cannot get their sat nav to give proper directions once they get into the city centre and I know more than a few locals who cannot find their way out! Best bet is to follow the signs which tend to be correct and ignore the sat nav until it is all updated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomo3090 Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 Seeing as the Grosvenor Estate development has lost 140 million already and is 25% down on the number of shops it needs there might be a big hole there for a bit longer! :-D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
