    Call me a cynical old sod (you're a cynical old sod-the entire forum)
    but something is really quite suss about this. I don't subscribe to frenchperson's conspiracy theories or such but surely no-one is that mind-bogglingly stupid?

    Oh dear.

    I missed nothing. I know the journey was supposed to be across Essex and also where they claimed they ended up. Was merely agreeing that they may indeed have fancied doing very little work that day and the satnav was the best excuse they could come up with.

    It's a bit like the old "sorry I wont be in work, my Gran died" excuse, you can only use it twice.

    Also, do not overlook that this took place in Essex. Not exactly overloadd with Mastermind winners. And, was the driver a girl - another hazard.
    (PS - I can say this sort of thing. Born Romford when it was Essex)

    AHHHHH, it all makes sense now. We've finally discovered what Daz does when he's not posting his exalted submissions to this forum.

    I read about a German motorist whose dashboard satellite navigation device said there was a bridge ahead.

    There was no bridge ahead; there was a river ahead.

    The motorist, subscribing to the view that reading is believing, drove his car into the river.
