I would rather do 10 miles in 15 relaxed minutes driving than 6 miles stuck in traffic for 1/2 hr!!
Tell me about it!
My SatNav (named Hex - non-Pratchett fans will not understand the link!) wanted to send me from Wolves by the Sea to Ffestiniog - via Telford, Wellington the centre of Shrewsbury (
), the Horseshoe Pass and Ruthin!
What the heck is wrong with the A5? She knows better now.
Although driving along the new Portmadoc by-pass was fun. The new road isn't in Hex's memory so she crashed!
Aren't I rotten?
