The problem with having a politician watch - it has 2 faces so you can see UK and Oz times simultaneously - is that I am so used to looking at the top face (UK) that I was in a rush to get flowers for a relative and be back at the hotel before 11am when I was to be picked up. So I was an hour out and decided to take a tram tour. Several elderly trams make a free circuit of the centre of Melbourne that takes around an hour nd at each stop there is a recorded commentary. Great for getting your bearingss and working out what to visit. Seems all trams in the centre are now free within that ring as well.
It isn't a complete circle as it goes up a small siding near the harbour and an English couple were sitting opposite with the wife having the tram map open. Now each stop is announced but the woman couldn't find where she was.
A guy leaned over when he heard this and said "never let a woman map read". Sat navs must have saved many a marriage.
