Well it made me laugh
Wife wins divorce after map-reading row
A businessman whose wife divorced him after an argument about her map-reading skills failed in a legal bid to stop their marriage ending.
The ruling came even though a family judge admitted he has similar rows with his own wife.
Property investor, Mark Howell, 60, and his then wife, 51-year old Nalini, argued after getting lost on country roads while on a wine tasting trip to Burgundy in August 2011, London’s Civil Appeal Court heard.
Mrs Howell, a company director, was navigating for her husband when he said he had to stop the car because they had lost their way.
The couple then clashed over her ability to plan their route. He says the row lasted “a matter of moments”, but it formed a plank of his wife’s bid to divorce him. Judge Michael Horowitz, QC, — who confessed that he and his own wife also “argue about map reading”— granted her a decree nisi in December.
