Google have recently introduced a map service which includes a direction finder. Try finding your way from Maine in America to the UK. I have copied some of the directions (and this is not made up I promise). You will see it starts off normal enough but then check out step 13.

Er, yes, right. Swim across the Atlantic. And they reckon it will take 29 days. Who do they think I am, David Walliams? Then, to add insult to injury, land in b....y France. So I will be soaking wet, very cold, probably in need of a wee bite of food, and I can't even ask for a towel because they speak the wrong language. And it is so nonchalent, swim across the Atlantic then slight right at E05! After 3462 miles I am not sure I would know which way was up, let alone right.
