    :)

    Left this morning to go to Royal Mint, lovely bright day. Following SatNav :)
    Almost there going through Pontypridd & up into the hills to Llantrisant ....
    and then the roads got narrower & narrower :eek: a rough single track pot holed & a vertical drop on one side :eek:
    We were in the 4rse end of no where :eek:
    We did meet a 'local' driving towards us, who refused to reverse to a passing space she had just passed. She just kept driving at us with head lights on :eek:
    So we had to reverse ½ mile backwards on this goat path :eek:
    No wave of thanks :p
    off we went for another few miles on this nightmare road until we spotted a house :j:j then 2 houses :j:j- road got wider. ... road markings - a junction & lo & behold The Royal Mint :rotfl:

    On our return we just followed road signs to A470 & it was a nice dual carriageway :o:o:o

    Never trust a SatNav :o

    Ours has tried to send us up a footpath before now, and it is not uncommon to end up on bridle paths. Only problem is some of OHs clients live in the middle of nowhere and you really do have to use bridle paths to get to them :eek:

    Is it at all possible that it was accidental? Someone forgetting they hadn’t signed out and checked the receipt. It would then be locked to their account but they’d be unaware of it. Just a thought

    Sorry Leslie....and curlgirl that you lost your vouchers:o

    Like AJ I would like to think it was accidental. Positive intent is good for the soul.

    We will never know I guess:o
