People may not intentionally send you the wrong way but you do get people who don't know their left from their right or will tell you to turn down by where a pub used to be! When Busman first moved up here he couldn't get his head round people giving him directions based on landmarks which no longer exist or by the old names that pubs used to be known by 20 or 30 years ago. It put the tin lid on it one morning when the traffic report on Radio Lancashire announced delays and a traffic tailback due to roadworks on 'that roundabout near where Little Chef used to be.'
