Road maps

Richard J Porter… Some of us still do.

Judy Atkinson… I love a map. You find places you didn’t know you wanted to go

Lyn Farkley Appleyard… I love maps….so reliable too

Fiona Evans… I prefer maps !

Will Cornell… I have a huge collection going back to my road rep salesman days and earlier. Including some from overseas. Wonder what they may be worth? Note: if any of you travel over here in the US via our highways, as you enter each state on interstates and major roads there will usually be an official welcome center with rest rooms, vending machines, free hot coffee or tea (thank you Louisiana for Community Brand), and brochures from famous tourist attractions in the state. They will also give you a free state issued road map, usually along with a state travel guide book, just sign their guest book with info like name, email addr, destination and where you’re from. I hope this practice never goes away. GPS sucks–good maps are a blessing.

Iris Feighan… I would rather use a map any day

Drew Barney… Which I didn’t take out on a run & frequently got lost. Now my watch takes me home, not a good samaritan in his car!

Elaine Stock… We still use maps, so much more reliable than a sat nav x

Mike Vawdrey… Even if you make the odd mistake while perfecting a route it’s still much more fun – and ultimately satisfying – working things out for yourself. I also have an extensive collection of maps/street plans from too many years ‘on the road’. However more curiosity than monetary value I’m afraid. In any case doesn’t satnav rely on all that space junk circling the Earth ?

 

The album you wished you had but lost it or never bought it.

Thanks to Mick O’Dowd for suggesting this thread.

Phil Thornton….Technodelic by YMO !

Steve Thorpe…..Hergest Ridge by Mike Oldfield – listened to it at various mates houses but never owned a copy.

Gary Kinch…..I bought Fog on the Tyne on cassette in 72 but lost it later that decade: Sittin’ in a sleazy snack-bar, Suckin’, sickly sausage rolls, Slippin’ down slowly, slippin’ down sideways
Think I’ll sign off the dole.

Jim Breeds…..Thin Lizzy – Roisin Dubh (Black Rose). Their live album. Lost or stolen (in my 1980s London flat sharing days), don’t know which. Just know it wasn’t there when I looked for it one day.

Andre Martin….The Apollo Theatre – NYC – 1962 Live Concert – all those great acts from this iconic Harlem Theatre. All I can remember it was on Atlantic Records.

Will Cornell….A 3 LP best of Sam Cooke that was only avail on TV. I had it and lost it when I left my LPs in care of a couple who lived in the town my college was in during summer break. I came back for Fall semester, didn’t notice it gone until they had moved away. They left their copy of Rubber Soul in my collection, netting me 2 . You can always buy Rubber Soul. That Cooke set was limited and gone forever. The decent CD comp I have is close but not the same………
