I end in an absurdist play

There l was about 10 Km away from Linz, procrastinating about which route l should take, when out of the blue l hear this strong Yorkshire accent. The voice says BittErschun sprechen see English, l say l certainly do lm Canadian from England. He says great do you have a few minutes. I say sure lm in no hurry. He whips out his Tom Tom and says do you have one of these l say no. He says you need to get one, lknow that but thanks very much anyway.He is like the FulLer brush sales guy you realLy Need one of these he CArrIes on. Anyway he asks me if l know where we are, apparently the Tom Tom knows how to get anywhere but you have to tell where it is starting from. I am the complete opPosite to the Tom Tom l know where l am but have no cLue where l am going so l point out on the map our location. He tells me his wife died about 5 years ago and she would always tell him turn Left turn right etc so when she died he was lost until he bought his Tom Tom.l asked where he was from in UK., and he then goes on to explain that he comes from the same place where they make the BBC show last of the summer wine.He then goes off to get his girlfriend who he says looks just like one of the women who is in the show.l know Nora Batty but none of the others he brings his girlfriend back and introduces me to her. They are both in Thier 80,s
He is full of joie DE verve and is very happy that he has replaced his wife of over 40 years with a Tom Tom and has a girlfriend, he is one contented man.I say goodbye and they toddle off. I then have to go back to my map and decide which way to go.I learn from this that l had better get a GPS.
