Still a Few Bugs in Consumer GPS Systems

The directions they give may be no better than those of Cletus B. Hounddog, so take their advice with a grain of salt. Case in point, a woman, and her £96,000 Mercedes River Sence in Sheepy Magna*, Leicestershire.

Of course, someone who is willing to pay £96K ($US 195K) for a car, probably has more money than brains.


*Sheepy Magna????? Now that is a screwy name. A quick Google finds this:
Sheepy, (from the old english sceap + eg meaning 'island or dry ground in the marsh where the sheep graze'), straddles the River Sence from Fieldon Bridge, the boundary with Atherstone and also the county boundary with Warwickshire. Sheepy is divided into two parts Great Sheepy or Sheepy Magna and Little Sheepy or Sheepy Parva, each with it's own ancient manor. Sheepy Magna also includes the Hamlets of The Mythe and Pinwall, The Mythe may well have had it's own manor but Pinwall was a Grange of Merevale Abbey. Newhouse Grange was also part of the Merevale estate and remained annexed to the parish of Merevale until 1885.
