    Back in the Eighties a friend of mine was hitching on the edge of Hinckley. A van driver pulled up and said "Hey mate, do you know where the power station is?"

    "What, Hinkley Point power station?"

    The driver glanced at his clipboard and said "Yeah, that's it."

    "Yes, I know where that is. It's in Somerset."

    "What? Oh, ****!"

    Proof that some people don't need satnav - they can go just as badly wrong reading the index of a road atlas

    I found MF's predicament amusing in a schadenfreude type way though.
    The remains of that conversation went offline very very quickly. Needless to say the follow up post wasnt going to get a thumbs up either!

    I was struggling with the something nice bit. Bad and indifferent posed no problems.
    I thought it was just a motorway services on the way from that London to somewhere altogether more civilised.

    Is that like the Dutch saying "At least Holland is bigger than Belgium"?
