What were we supposed to do? Grab shovels and dig our way through, searching for bus stops where we"d wait in sub-zero temperatures for public service vehicles with no seatbelts? Or would it have been more acceptable to pay a dollar a minute to ride around in filthy yellow cabs for a week? Alternatively, I could have opted for a simple two-wheel-drive car. But in such tricky conditions, I feared I"d end up down a ditch or in the path of an oncoming truck, so I opted for a 4x4.

John Cleese"s dulcet tones are to be offered on Tom Tom units. Drivers pay н‚бЈ9.95 to download software from the firm"s website and have the ex-Monty Python star - who also played hotelier Basil Fawlty in Fawlty Towers - tell them when and where to turn and at which exit to leave the roundabout. It"s the first time a celebrity has given his voice for providing directions.
