'So you know the crossroads where you go up the hill to Younger Son's house?'
'Yes.'
'Well the parade will come from the east and turn south.'
'Towards Clydach?'
'No, into the town centre.'
'That's east.'
'Not if the hill towards YS is north.'
'But it's not.'
'Well, just imagine it is.'
'But it's west.'
'Pretend it's north.'
'Why? North is the other way.'
'But you have to go up the hill so let's just say it's north.'
'Whyl?'
'Because north is always upwards.'
It would be if I made maps.
It doesn't help that the GPS image in the car shows us going the 'wrong' way as in the top diagram, when, obviously, we should be eating the road, Pacman style as in the bottom diagram.
I have to think about it every time.

Are you often the navigator? Just wondering . . . .
I've thought about it. It hasn't helped.
I used to be until we got sat nav, Debra. I liked to say that i took us on the scenic route.
My point precisely, Sonata.
My GPS system gives one the option of having North being up, always, or having the ikon of the car moving upward, always. That said, I think I've actually used the system 2 or 3 times in the 5 years that I've owned the car.
