good point richard it just shows you have to make the best of everything you
can.
on my satnav it is not helping me get from the pub door which is the west
riding on wellington street to the bus stop where i do which is on boare lane.
just near briggate
as i said you can cut through the railway station down some blind alleys but
that's hard if you cannot see. i will see if i can get someone to look on
google maps. around there it is so so very very busy
