Omletina Kyckling Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 I decided to go to Ikea today, in Milton Keynes and decided to let TomTom show me the way....he decided that rather than take me to Ikea he'd take me on a tour of the housing estates of MK.....I'm sure it wasn't user error before I set off and that I didn't put the wrong postcode in but I ended up where I wasn't supposed to be. Milton Keynes is not a good place to get lost as there are many, many roundabouts....me and Baby Landy have been around most of them today so if anybody was in Milton Keynes and saw a green Land Rover pick up going around and around the roundabouts looking confused it was me!! I've been once before but I was navigating with a map and a friend was driving, so I managed to follow my nose and get to Ikea in the end, and I even managed to get what I went for! I've come home and now I have a migraine/headache and it hurts lots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 Poor you, I can sympathise! All those roundabouts look the same after a whle don't they? When I lived there I had a system of counting roundabouts to get me home - off the motorway, turn right, 4 roundabouts. Right again, 3 roundabouts, left, 1 roundabout. If ever i lost count I literally was lost Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jools Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 I was brought up and lived near Milton Keynes for over 30 years, but I still couldn't find my mum's house when she moved! I had to phone so she could direct me in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 TomTom has taken me on a couple of interesting detours ove the last couple of years....but never through Milton Keynes, let it be said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lisa33 Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 I've never gone to or come back from Ikea in MK the same way. I always get lost there!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Looney Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 This sounds all too familiar....I decided to go to Ikea in MK and got very lost trying to work out which way to turn off each roundabout. Took me ages to get there! Thank goodness I was in the car alone, had OH been there he would have blown a gasket!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omletina Kyckling Posted October 31, 2008 Author Share Posted October 31, 2008 Half the problem is their map in the Ikea catalogue and on the website is nothing like reality! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
