Short but very sweet

Our address wasn’t recognised by my satnav. “The whole town has the same postcode.” warned the owner. “Try Rue Gaffarot.”

I’d checked out the town map online. From what I could see, Rue Gaffarot was long. “Bloody brilliant”, I thought, “Bet we end up at the wrong end and end up carting our baggage miles!”

It turned out being very narrow and short. We passed our turn without realising. Reversing, there it was. Impasse Creissac. I turned in - twenty yards of blind alley. First cottage on the right.

“Ah... ‘impasse’! I geddit! Gets you nowhere!”

We were dead-end kids.
