The reason for navigating by Pubs, shops, cinemas etc. is that as an old
country we have honed our perception of our surroundings to the items of
importance.
Roads are named for far away place, old battles and corrupt politicians so they
have little significance. By memorising places of use and true worth we have a
world view which reflects our value system.
And if you believe that then maybe I can interest you in this old bridge we
have lying around.
And another thing STOP calling them _English_ units we have not used them for
_2_ decades plus, it can be a real pain that _American_ software defaults to
them.
