Sat Nav mix up take 2!

Yes, you guessed it; there has been another mix up this week involving the dreaded sat navs. Only this time, people haven't driven into the sea because of it. Oh no, scaffolding was constructed around the WRONG house because the Sat Nav got two streets mixed up.

Yes, the two streets did have the same name, but yes they were 8 miles apart! Surely those clearly brainless builders would have stopped constructing once a lady told them it was the wrong house? Oh no - they continued and left the house looking like a building site for the delighted owner to come home to. Oh how overjoyed he must have been!

According to neighbours, the mix up of the two streets has been an issue since the new one was named exactly the same as the original. Some people on the street have been delivered beds, electrical appliance and some even been threatened wrongly by the bailiffs.

The map below indicates the distance between the two roads:

What ARE we going to do with these Sat Nav's, eh? They're simply causing way too much trouble!

Thanks - by the way, the poll on Sat Nav's is still open! Please vote! Thank you (:

What do you think happened when you see this image?

The tide came in too fast? There was a tsunami? Wrong - the cause of this problem was simply operator error; the car was driven into the sea because the Sat Nav said so.

Evidently, some people seem to be lacking in a little common sense, but this is just ridiculous! I mean, surely when you drove onto the beach, you would realise there was a slight problem with the directions. And let's face it - Sat Nav's aren't exactly reliable! How many times have you become lost because the Sat Nav wasn't doing its job properly?

It was apparent at the time of the incident that the occupants of the Hyundai believed the Sat Nav would direct them to a road, but after 500 metres of attempting to continue they were brought to a halt due to the incoming tide and thick muds making the car sink into the ground.

Thanks for reading! Please answer the poll to the right(:
