Kate,
You would have us believe that she is the train driver waiting for the line to be cleared.  >:D

Kate, I somehow expected you to say that.

*ducks*

I don't drive myself, but I do know that satnav's can be notoriously unreliable... for one thing according to Panomania's satnav, I live in a black hole in the centre of Norwich.  And on a recent occasion I was stopped by a van driver, who was convinced he was in a particular street in NR2, whereas he was well over a mile away in NR1.  He was almost trying to convince me that I don't know my own city.  He was a scouser BTW.
