Dodgy directions (SatNav related)

I have to get here on Wednesday  evil: evil:

From A406 take signs to Excel and London City Airport, pass the roundabouts named Cyprus and Beckton Park, and at the third roundabout take the first exit towards Newham Council. Turn right at the mini roundabout and the Travelodge will be on the right hand side after the Royal Albert DLR Station. If coming from the North Woolwich Road or City Airport, take Connaught Bridge over the river with City Airport on your right - at the next two roundabouts take a right up to Newham Council Building and then a right at the mini-roundabout and the Travelodge will be on the right hand side after the Royal Albert DLR Station. The closest DLR is Royal Albert.
Please Note: Not all Sat Navs will locate the Travelodge using the hotel post code, some will find the hotel using E16 2QT

Postcodes don't always match up with Satnav addresses. We have this problem with some of our offices, so when we have people coming for interviews etc, as well as the postcode, we give then the "Satnav postcode", both are clearly identified on any letters etc. On one occasion I had a prospective employee ring me to tell me he would be running ten minutes late as he had used the wrong address. I told him not to worry, punch in the other code and it will guide him to the office which is only five minutes from where he is now. 45 minutes later he turned up

No, he didn't get the job
