Give me strength!

Am I missing something here, is there a difficulty staring me in the face that I am blind too? Is it really so difficult?

PG's car has to spend a few hours at the dealers today to have one or two routine jobs attended to, this being a used car, a loan vehicle was not readily forthcoming so a few hours in a town about 30 miles from here was forced upon him. To occupy his time, he decided among other things, to pay a few bills while he loiters without intent, one of them necessitating he visit a branch of the Halifax bank. Last night he sought the address from the internet and off he set this morning.

An hour later I receive a phone call, "I can't find the bank" he says.

"Oh" say I in reply......"and"

"Are you on the internet" he returns.....er...is the Pope Catholic?

So he asks that I check the address, which I duly do, he has the correct address.

"Well I can't find it" he says,

"er....are you in the right street?" say I.

"Yes but I can't find it" comes back at me.

Now this is where I become really confused.

What precisely does he expect me to do from 30 miles away? At this point my tired head (the result of Tilly's manic behaviour over the last two nights)is becoming a little fraught, so I put the question to him whilst silently uttering expletives.....and needless to say got a terse reply!

I wonder, is it rocket science just to ask someone where it is or if it has moved?

Why will men just not ask! Pfftt!

Hahahahahaha!
Great to see that men asking for directions/help is a "universal" problem.
Maybe I can start a support group or two.
NDAA - Non-Direction Askers Anonymous
and
WoNDA - Women of Non-Direction Askers
I could be the president of the NDAA for sure!
