Travelling through mid-Norfolk, hopelessly lost. It's a warm, sunny day out in the counrtyside for me so for a while i wasn't too bothered. After an hour or so of trying to find this village that's on every signpost I was no longer enjoying things as much. No signs of life, no people to ask. Not even a rambler! Finally found a farm and pulled in. Met the farmer, who seemed so delighted to meet someone he wasn't related to I felt guilty for just wanting directions. I asked for the village anyway.
"That's not a village, it's a parish" came the amused reply.
"But it's on every signpost around here" I explained
"Ooooarrrrr" ,the farmer's laughing at me by now, "Well if you're going to go 'round believing signposts then you're bound to get lost"
Gave up on the visit.
