New scientific excuse for sales SatNav errors

Sales jobs employees that find themselves pitching to a cow in a field rather than executives in a boardroom can now give a scientific explanation for their SatNav error.

Scientists believe that the SatNav signal is disrupted when it passes through the aurora, but warn that the worst is yet to come for the GPS sales jobs user.
