Title: "Dunno where I live"
Post by: GROWLER on January 13, 2009, 02:17:06 PM
Just rung a cuzzie up so I can go and fix his car this avvy, as per arrangement with the main stealer he purchased it off.
He lives in a block of flats that aren't listed in the A-Z, so I asked him what road the flats are in.

His reply?
I dunno.  eeek:

What a total gonk.


Personally, I despair for the future generations, I really do. noooo:

I had a customer that did this to me!  eeek:

I drove to the far end of the island to see them, when I got to their town I called and asked for directions to their apartment building.

"We don't know where it is - we've just moved in"

When you switch it on...in your house  ::)....I think it goes back to where you last where when you switched it off, even though you've cleared the memory as requested.
 I could be wrong, but suspect I'm right.

As I said. Modern technological shite.

If you switch it on in your kitchen it can't 'see' the satellites to get new positioning information... therefore, as far as it knows it is still in the last place where it could see the satellites... see...?  whistle:
