Geoff,

I've got a quicker and easier challenge for Steve, and that's to find
any location whatsoever, where the M25 intersects the M27 ?????

Fortunately, being a charitable person, I suspect he actually meant the
M26/M20/M's 3,4,40,1 or 11 (or at a scrape even the M23) :-P

Sorry Steve, couldn't resist.

Besides, if I really wanted to know the quickest/easiest route to
Haugesund, I'd just ask my mate Daves' ex-wife. She was born there and
as most of her family are still resident, well .........

Still, I thought that it was a good "snipe" at MS despite the apparent
difficulties of producing an accurate/efficient alogrithm!

TTFN
