The trouble is that you know where you are, but you don't necessarily know the names of the streets. It's even worse in London, trust me - at least in Accy almost all of them ask in English!

That said, I once tried to get by car to my auntie's house in Maudsley Street and it took about half an hour to find a way into it - half way to Burnley, I seem to remember ...
Accy's traffic system does leave something to be desired, to say the least.

Perhaps HBC could issue a tourist map? - but if they did, it would probably be of Darwen by mistake.
