...and the other 50% lie to pollsters?
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius

The funny part is that they still feel obligated to use the GPS when they apparently know where they're going. When I know how to get where I'm going, I don't even have the GPS on. Strange people those UK'ians.

I once drove from Birmingham(ish) to Edinburgh in a car from work with the onboard sat-nav giving directions to London and a windscreen mounted device giving directions to Edinburgh. We couldn't work out how to turn off or change the onboard one. They had a big argument all the way there.
Every man can tell how many goats or sheep he possesses, but not how many friends.

I'll bet that was fun!

That would have driven me absolutely bat-shit, especially if they insisted on talking to me.

If you don't know the area well it's great for dealing with getting lost or having to route around accidents; and it's much easier to stick it on the dash before you leave.
