Kids today :roll:
They couldn't find their backsides with both hands & an atlas :roll: :wink:
And neither can some older people.......
like SWMBO who once famously set off (after picking a friend up) down the M1 after joining at jct 39 (http://uk.multimap.com/map/browse.cgi?client=public&X=431000.999999364&Y=417000.942831516&width=500&height=300&gride=431199.999999364&gridn=417199.942831516&srec=0&coordsys=gb&db=grid&addr1=&addr2=&addr3=&pc=&advanced=&local=&localinfosel=&kw=&inmap=&table=&ovtype=&zm=1&scale=25000) & got as far as Barnsley before realising it wasn't the way to York :lol: :lol:
Her excuse......... they were talking.
At least now she has to know where she's going, although it's mainly Leicester, Market Harbough, Hinckley & Salford.
I've got her into the habit of using 'Multi-Map' to fine tune her destinations
Going back to the younger generation, it wasn't the same when I was a lad........... :roll:
I notice this with the (mainly) 20-30 year old Nurses (male & female), they can describe in great detail where a bar is in a Spanish, Greek, whatever town & even the cheapest food (& alcohol)
BUT...... they can't even tell me (if I ask) how to get to, recent examples;
Lancaster
Berwick-upon-Tweed
Settle
The Doctors tend to do better, as they have to move between Hospitals as part of their rotation.
Is it just something I'm picking up on???

Cheaper land-prices & more space to plan the layout accordingly.
Being slightly cynical, it could also be seen as an attempt at 'Social Engineering'
It was also seen (in the 30's) as a way of 'improving the lot' of the 'working classes' by removing them from the smokey cities (destroying a lot of communities in the process though)
If you look at a map of southern England in particular, you'll see that the 'new towns (suburbs) follow the established path of the railways.
I reckon that the railway companies owned a lot of land either side of the tracks & sold it (or did deals) over the construction of new estates (both private & council)

We have a friend who, along with one of her friends, decided on a day trip to IKEA in Nottingham. From Northampton, nice and easy up the M1 they thought.
It was only when the M1 ceased to be at Staples corner (north London for those that didn't pass their geography exam) that they decided on a change of plan and went to the IKEA at Wembley :roll:

Easy Mistake, north or south easily done :lol:
Mate of mine went from Nottingham to Blackpool, but on the way back missed the turning and ended up south of birmingham :?

Someone who shall remain nameless was going to the MC event at Bramcote from Northants and ended up in Notts
:lol: :lol:
He got there in the end.
Why are council estates built on the outskirts?
Because the town centres were built before council estates were thought of.
You have to wonder who sets these questions for kids? :)
