Thank you SatNav programmers
Just think how boring it would be if they stuck to major roads or even just those without hedges brushing your mirrors on both sides or ones like this - a strip of crumbling tarmac through fields with vegetation growing in the middle. This particular diversion which dragged on for miles and involved negotiating around…

Anybody know how to overcome Samsung locking the disk drive on a SH897M DVD recorder?
This machine belongs to my Mum so when it started to play up she was advised to send it back to Samsung for repair. However, she has over 40GB worth of videos on there and was quite understandably reluctant to send it back without having a backup of her videos. Ironically, recording to disc was the fault so there was…
