    Many years ago we sent a driver up from Chester to Blackburn. He called us to say that he was setting off, yes, no widespread use of the mobile (indeed it existed kids, three rings when you get home and all that). After a couple of hours and he hadn’t arrived, an hour later and still no sign. A call to Blackburn and he had left when he said he had.
    Another hour later and we get a call from somewhere near Scotland. SCOTLAND!!!
    It turns out that when he got to the motorway he followed signs for the North because Chester is in the North, innit? 😀

    You know Blackburn is in Scotland right?

    I’m looking out of the office window at it right now.

    You say that like there’s only one Blackburn in Scotland.

    must admit that I once “layed down the hammer” on an audax to make up for lost time
    to arrive @ the same checkpoint I left 3,5 hours earlier.

    Like those London folk who believe it’s always up to London, I think the same of Chester.
    You should always go up to Chester from any part of the country.. 😀
    My sister-in-law once did the same coming home from Yorkshire. She followed North from the M62 and got to Carlisle before realising her error.!

    Up North.

    Down South.

    Does anyone ever use these the other way around?

    As someone who lives 100 miles directly west of That London, a trip to the capital is always going up to London.
    It’s the capital city of the nation, innit.

    In the days before mobile phones + GPS, after just passing my driving test, I decided to drive frae Cumbria to see a pal in Manchester….Ended up in Liverpool…. those were the days, when all you had was a dog eared road map,some instructions scribbled on a back of an envelope and had to stop at a phone box to let folk know you may be running a tad late…..

    I did much the same, expect it was in a boat on a river. I had to take a small launch from St. Neots to Huntingdon, but set off the wrong way. As above, before mobiles so just kept going until the petrol ran out, nearly at Bedford.
