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
