we have noticed this"i am right, your all wrong, cant be told anything" approach with some of our permanent visitors at work. A bit," i know, i know..." before you have even got half way through any instructions, and off they go and cock the job up. I dont like to condem a hole group but its a definate characteristic, on average, in my experience.

What a plonka  mind did use sat nav a great deal when delivering cars around UK so have to admit if your a stranger to the area you can get sent into some car parks & dead ends as you tend to rely solely on em  not like when you just had road maps & window down to ask the locals but Rivers !! mmmm  ::) ::)
