I walkthrough that area a lot and atleast once a week someone asked me the directions to a house and I can't help them. I always wonder if they find them in the end.Gramaisc said:When I said Edison Road I really meant the whole of the Coton Fields maze. Edison Road, Bell Close and Lister Road are almost interwoven, at least Faraday Road is separate. There is also the strange detached part of Henry Street successfully hidden in there. It does seem unnecessarily complicated. The whole point of having an address is that other people can find it.

They give me a look like they think I'm just being awkward.Wormella said:I walkthrough that area a lot and atleast once a week someone asked me the directions to a house and I can't help them.

There's a seasonal proverb that I've never heard before.coobeastie said:if you book a taxi in the middle of the night, bloody well look out for it as we don't go door knocking at 3am.
