In life,
there are two groups of people, those who use maps and those who use Satnavs. I
have to say, I fall into the ‘maps’ category.
On any
journey I am assigned the roll of navigator, which I love. Hubby comments that
in our car we don’t have a TomTom, we have a JoyJoy!
I simply
love maps. I love planning the routes for our journeys, working out the most
interesting, scenic or easiest routes. If we hit a problem when travelling, all
I have to do is check the map for an alternative route and make a detour. We
never get sent down dubious tracks or through places that we’d rather not go.
Oh no, I certainly wouldn’t swap my map book for a Satnav any day!
Armed only
with a road atlas, we have travelled over a large part of the UK and through
France without getting lost, and have found some little gems of places along
our chosen routes.
How ironic
then that earlier this year I won a Satnav in a prize draw! Needless to say I
wasn’t thrilled when my prize arrived, but then I saw how it could actually
benefit me. I left the box sealed, advertised it on Amazon as ‘new and unused’,
priced it a few pence lower than other sellers of new Satnavs and found a buyer
within 24 hours! Just think of how many map books I could buy with the
proceeds!
So despite
my win of the year, you will still see me poring over my road atlas in
anticipation of our next journey. After all, hubby can rely on his JoyJoy –
even though unlike a Satnav I can answer back!
