So, Bob Dylan could be the voice of a sat-nav ("Take the next left at Positively 4th Street..."). Personally I'd opt for Malcolm Tucker. Having some good swearing in your ear during the evening rush-hour could be quite inspiring ("Go straight ahead, you tw*t!").

So who would you like telling you directions? And why.

    Apparently there's an Ozzie Osborne voice that swears copiously - remember to turn it off, though, when you've got the kids in the car.

    I quite fancy the Homer Simpson one that goes, "Doh!" when you miss a turnoff.

    Apparently there is a Barrymore one which is pretty good, although you end up rear-ended and floating in a swimming pool.

    A Northern Irish girl, with a lilting song-like voice.

    I'd never leave the car though, I could listen to that forever.

    No need for a shrink I think your psyche is perfectly transparent.

    Me, I'd only add Mariella Frostrup to your list and the competition's closed :D

    Wouldn't matter what voice it had, my Sat Nav is constantly getting it wrong! :twisted:
    She (female voice) has caused me more arguments than anything else, and that's when I'm alone in the car!!
    Dizzy bitch hasn't got a clue ( VW Touareg), my mate has same probs in his Range Rover. I followed him once and we got the same wrong info :twisted:
    Mind you, it is kind of funny, when she tells me one thing and I know where I am, I start giving her lip!... Wouldn't do that if it was the wife giving the orders :wink:

    How about celebrity sat nav, where you get a different voice everytime and you have to guess who it is. Admittedly, Julian Clary would be a bit too easy!

    ..Nah! ...you'd ask for that...
    ...and instead end up with Mrs. Doyle off Father Ted, but you'd never be able to make a turn anywhere - you'd just "go on, go on, go on"....

    Actually, I don't recommend this version either, very bad for the car's performance and you have to get the engine de-coked on a regular basis. :wink:

    Ron Manager from The Fast Show. Although it would take ages to get anywhere allowing for all the waffle;

    "Take a left at the next crossroads....hmm, isn't it, you know....Crossroads....wooden, flimsy sets. Wooden, flimsy acting! Marvellous. Enduring image, isn't it? But, hmm, you know, soaps, isn't it? Palmolive - there's another one! Enduring smell...." etc.

    There's also a gag lurking here about only being able to tell you to go 'All Wight' but it won't quite give itself up at the moment.

    ....and one to avoid: Brian Blessed. Unless you happen to regularly carry a pair of ear defenders around in the glove compartment.

    If holidaying in Devon and trying to get from Seaton to Sidmouth, does it inevitably direct you via "Mmmm.....Beer"? :wink:

    I think her name is Cathy Clugsdon, one of Radio 4's continuity announcers.
    She's on my sat-nav too.

    Vicky Pollard off Little Britain would make for an "interesting" route...

    Vicky: Yeah but no, but yeah, like you want to turn right here, but no, but yeah, but no not really. No because what happened was was I was going round Karl’s but then this whole fing happened because Shelley Todd who’s a bitch anyway has been completely going around saying that Destiny stole money out of Rochelle’s purse but I ain’t never not even spoken to Rochelle ‘cause she flicked ash into Michaela’s hair. Yeah but Louise Farren emptied a whole bottle of Fanta into Shannon’s bag but anyway Luke reckons he fingered Emma Bateman in the language lab.
    So like I didn't want to go there anyway.
