The SatNav has a temper and a big f***ing gun and told the driver to go there. That or it had some juicy gossip on the driver's affair. Or maybe the driver was using an Ex Royal Marine version and forgot to change the settings from 'Beach Invasion' and 'Amphibious' to normal (although in theory he would have been stranded on a beach in Spain Whistle ). Otherwise, why else would you 'listen' to your SatNav and drive out to sea? Monsieur Le Grenadier

I've not been everywhere, but it's on my list.....

Human nature I guess Rolling Eyes

People always have to blame some one / thing else for the consequences of their own stupid actions, SatNav has simply become the newest fall-guy in the blame game.
