A top engineering boffin has warned that Blighty is too dependent on Sat Nav and an accidental or deliberate system failure could kill far too many people.
But Professor Martyn Thomas who is the chairman of the Royal Academy of Engineering's working group, has not thought what would happen if people are forced to go Cold Turkey.

Images of Renton running along to Underworld.
Renton: "Choose life. Choose a job. Choose a career. Choose a family. Choose the next lane before the intersection. Choose washing machines, cars. At the roundabout choose the right hand turn off.
"I chose not to choose life, or staying on the motorway. I chose something else. And the reasons? There are no reasons when you have a Garmin Satnav."
"With the government cracking down on Satnavs, I had no direction. I needed to visit the Mother Superior, for one direction. We called her Mother Superior because of the length of her Sat Nav habit.
"In the dark she even sounded like the woman who gave us directions.
"Would sir care for a starter? Some garlic bread, perhaps?"
"No, thank you. I'll proceed directly to a trip to York via the Basingstoke Roundabout."
"Ah the hard stuff. As you wish, sir. As you wish."
Then there's Perfect Day by Lou Reed.
On the right, which is activity, one has to balanced one’s physical with one’s intellect. Too much intellectual expression/utilisation, which usually results in too little physical expression, will result in certain illnesses of imbalance. The constant vascillation of Quackery & Handler about food and environmental uncertainties being the source of these illnesses of imbalance show, if nothing else, that Q&H are good customers of The Bookie - they are such good “clients” that they have their special concession area at the races - served by beings in “Medical Bunny Suits”. Slurp…..
Like it, believe it, or not, Illnesses of Imbalance are .. Obesity [honest, swear, so stop that dieting nonsense, hokay. What do you mean “how?” Through truly valuing yourself first and the realisation will then be gifted], T2 Diabetes, “Attention Deficits”, Insomnia, Allergies, and so forth - in fact quite a few of the illnesses attributed to the “environment and food”. So, gaming is good, eh? Mobiles are OK too and a whole hosts of the artifacts of communication and communicability whilst not forgetting that Uncle Sammy is the Comms Centre of The Universe - which is where almost all these nonsense originated from. As such, plain ole GPS is merely the straw which is breaking the camel’s back, you should see the other stuff being burdened by the beastie.
Funny, come to ‘fink of it, where were people in the days when logic is being interrogated/stirred everytime they have to go from A to B in a vehicle? Not when you have a nice Bunny Suited voice to sooth you onto your destination arriving brain dead and truly lost everytime. Hands up those who are aware of this fact. Hands up those who know why they continually damage themselves. Hands up those who feel nice being brain dead and lost. Never in the field of human arm stretching had there been so many stupid people claiming to be intelligent and all because the ego is the unwanted child of stupidity, no if’s and but’s. Now, repeat after me, “I will be truthful to myself”. Forever if necessary.
