Is it just me or are most Taxi drivers incapable of getting anywhere that doesn't come up on Satnav?

I've lived in a Flat in Sheffield just over 16 years, most Taxi drivers don't know where I live unless I tell 'em, because for some reason the Flats don't come up on Satnavs! I wouldn't mind but I can remember a time, and it's not THAT long ago, that local Taxi drivers knew their area and didn't have to rely on Satnav tech to get anywhere!

It's the same with delivery drivers, about 3 years ago I ordered a takeaway Pizza from Domino's on Ecclesall Road, which is about 10 minutes away by car, it took the delivery bloke an hour to find me! Eh? To quote Michelangelo in the 1990 Turtles movie "Forgiveness is devine, but never pay full price for late Pizza", I've also used Uber Eats about 5 times and the delivery bloke's got lost every time! One guy didn't even turn up.

Does anyone else have this problem?

These days, anybody can become a minicab driver, and the days of learning "The Knowledge" are long gone, except for the traditional black cabs in London.
