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.

"being stopped on Charing Cross Road and asked directions to Newcastle"

I would say Glasgow with the time and distance involved. Though if you ignore distance, and look at complexity of directions in relaiton to London I would have to say Harrow.

I was once stopped on Dundas St in Edinburgh and asked for directions to Glasgow. All I could think of was "go to the top of the hill and follow the signs..."

Well, you walk up towards Centre Point, and about 400 miles later it's right there in front of you...

The scary thing is, I have A Theory about what they did wrong.

I bet they messed up at Sphaghetti Junction out by the airport and landed on the QEW thinking it would take them to the Queensway.

I need a Perly's icon...
