Sat-nav take-away


Take-aways have gone hi-tech in the UK. These days they just ask you for a house-number and a postcode which takes the hassle out of explaining that your road is behind such-and-such, just left of so-and-so; past the brown stain on the wall. In India it's obligatory to quote a landmark when giving an address, even though sat-nav is very much in use in the country (and probably developed there as well).

I've been busy on other projects recently, hence the lack of posting on this blog. One of these projects has been a new Punch cartoons blog to showcase some old Punch covers that I have, and I've also been pre-occupied with other matters. I always have good intentions of posting when I get home from work but then domestic matters take over. God, do we miss our Indian servants.

Here's a nice take on sat-nav from Roy Nixon though. Fortunately our Chinese take-away wasn't using the same system last night, and our meal was delivered in pretty good time.
