Chichester

Today, we took a taxi to Heathrow and collected our UK hire car - good news is we got upgraded to a Mercedes C 200 D.  Bad news is a small boot.

Then a casual drive down though Farnham (music reference) and Petersfield to Chichester. The other good news is the Hire care company told me this car does not have GPS and that I can purchase a GPS for GBP 118, to which I declined saying I could buy a tom tom for less than that. As it turns out,  we got in the car and press the Nav button and we have inbuilt GPS.  Arshole rental companies will try to sell you anything.

The other weird thing about the car which I cannot explain happened on the way down this afternoon, anyone who can explain this are welcome to comment.

I was trying to get the Bluetooth to work with the iPad audio but could not get the car and the iPad to pair. I did see a device on the iPad called "209", which I assume must be the car. Anyway about half an hour later, I tuned to BBC2 DAB radio and then heard the announcer say "welcome to 209 who has just joined us" Could this be a coincidence? If not, how does the car transmit back a signal to the broadcast DAB station. Got me beat.

Pics today are a mixed bag, firstly some catch up pics taken with my phone that I haven't uploaded before, one extra from Joys camera at the Science museum yesterday and a few of the Pub we are staying in at Chichester.

Tomorrow Joy goes off to catch up with people from "West Dean", where she worked in 2003/4. It was 10 years ago.

WiFi is pretty crap here, hopefully better tomorrow as we head toward Exeter.
