I'll be in London in less than a month, so I'm looking at random facts.

Device Introduced To Find Nearest Pub

A device has been introduced by two entrepreneurs in London that directs a person to the nearest pub.

It meant help them(drunks) get home, but it doesn't stop them from driving.

Where did you read this? Sounds like something out of the Sun. LOL

But alesat it can help you get home.

Pardon? Can you repeat that.

I thought as much. LOL

In the United Kingdom a pair of beer-loving entrepreneurs are marketing a device that straps onto the wrist and directs the wearer to the nearest pub, according to a story in Britain's newspaper The Sun.

Just found out that the cell phone I got yesterday has a GPS sending unit in it for just such purposes

. It can be switched off, but soon, they'll probably just include them, always on, without telling us. If I ever become a fugitive, I guess I'll have to throw away my phone

I guess its a gadget that didnt work out.

P.S Nice to see you back DougC-3, its ranger21.

As Doug says they keep trying new features on mobile phones & it's quite likely this is some research project by university students. I was reading an old article about creating a pubs database for a website after posting my reply. Not sure if anyone took this up or how far they got with it. I found it with a search on Google. Lost it now so I cant give you the link.
