SatNav is great provided you put in the right address.
Bought an ex-demo table saw/sliding carriage/extension table jobbie. Email sent to them with our Malvern address..did they need directions as we're off the beaten track? ...no, he's got SatNav..OK then but I bet he gets lost. Delivery scheduled for this morning around 10am.
9.30ish- mobile goes...sorry we're a bit late and only just leaving..should be with you around noon. OK..says I...not a problem.
Noon comes and goes. So does 1pm. At 2pm I call to check they're OK and told "we left a bit late..just left Mill Hill...be with you in about 40 minutes.
Spend next few minutes racking brain as to where Mill Hill was in Worcestershire. I knew there was one in London. See where this is going ?? :lol:
2.40pm..mobile goes...we're outside your place...12 Westbourne terrace.
Um...that's not the delivery address and actually neither do I live there !
Pause ...we'll be with you a little later on then...after we've been back to get the right address :? Full marks though that they are going to go the extra distance and actually deliver it today rather than some other day.
You have to chuckle.
