Who says men don't ask for directions?

I was walking up Lower Sherbourne Street this morning when two young guys pulled over and asked me for directions to.... Ottawa. I was surprised and double checked but it was Ottawa they wanted so I directed them appropriately.

For those of you not familiar with Ontario geography this would be roughly equivalent to being stopped on Charing Cross Road and asked directions to Newcastle.

Well, I was surprised that they could have got to where they were without noticing the signposts for Glasgow. And the thought of actually explaining how to negotiate the one way system to get them onto the right road out of town completely floored me.

I dislike driving in towns I don't know. I had to do it a lot in a job I had about ten years ago; surprisingly, I often used to find the specific road I was looking by complete and utter chance.

I couldn't figure out why these guys were where they were either. They were driving north less than a block from the lake.
