I wouldn't recommend it - you're too stupid to work one, for a start. -- Ian D

Of course it is, that's why about every driver I know has bought one, they prefer a complicated life and the transport managers have overcome their initial reluctance to embrace this technology because they enjoy having to find the postcode of every address they send drivers to. Even a couple of years ago the request "Have you got the post code?" Was met with, 'What do you want to know that rubbish for?' Followed by a load of indecipherable garbage about turn left turn right, second roundabout with a boat in the middle, look for the black cat pub, etc.etc. etc. Now the first address information they give you is the post code, you never have to ask and if they don't have it to hand you get an apology and a promise to text it to you later. Obviously they do this because they enjoy making life more complicated. |
