Then without a map and with really no idea of where they were or were going, they hit the “freeway” following the road signs. It transpired that they had circumnavigated the M25 at least one and a half times! They seemed exhausted and fraught. I invited them in for some tea and a quick geography lesson. They didn’t seem to understand that you can’t drive the length of the UK in 2 or 3 hours. They had been told Britain is a tiny island and assumed it to be the size of Manhattan which they were familiar with.
