Sense of direction

According to the Sun today so it must be right
Women and gays don't have such a good sense of direction as hetrosexual males.

Mrs D/T is absolutely hopeless so don't ever ever ask her for directions.
i.e. Local shops 500yds away but when I asked her to point to them she pointed in the complete opposite direction. Bad enough you may say but even crazier considering she may walk there 3-4 times a week

People and sense of direction completely bamboozel me?????????????

Thank god for small mercies such as TOMTOM otherwise she would be lost forever I think

Ah Mac, PC as ever.......

Sort of notice the same with my girlfriend; I can tell if she's lost because I get a very hysterical phone call. She won't let me direct her to 'safety', but I have to explain exactly where she is so that she can find it on her map....
.... AND she won't have a satnav

I have a really excellent sense of direction, but I think it's coz I did orienteering when I was younger. Dan however, has absolutely no sense of direction whatsoever, but he's really good with a map... go figure.

Only stating from the paper

im rubbish at directions. i need to drive to my location about 10 times before i can relax and think I know where im going. yet i do a fair bit of mileage visiting friends down south coast of england. driving to paignton i can take a different route every time. left torquay to meet friend for coffee in plymouth took me 2.5 hours as i went via exeter then some back roads

He he -----Perhaps they have a better sense of adventure

Pet hate of mine is being a passenger in a car with people who won't use common sense with directions. If you're coming to a junction and don't know which way to go then read the roadsigns, that's what they are there for!

Yep, I'm rubbish with directions most of the time.

If I'm following or driving and some one says turn left, right, left.. blah blah, I'd never remember the route even if I've done it a zillion times.

But for the times I have to make my own way from A to B using a map, It's in-grained and can pretty much remember it everytime.. kinda run on a need to know basis

Well Ive been trucking for 31 yrs now, UK and continental and without being big headed put me in truck and I can go anywhere without a map or gps and I know precisley where i am at any time, BUT put me in my car or bike and I can get lost on me own drive... which must mean Im straight whilst trucking and a bit light on me feet whilst in charge of other vehicles................

I'm not to bad, Once I've been somewhere once I can usually remember how to get back their again. I used to be able to find my way round Bournemouth without using a map, doesnt sound like much till you try it

Liz is much better with maps and navigating than I am though. Which is fine with me
