There's a great technique used by all of us old codgers: Give directions in terms of things that aren't there any more.

"Just go down this street and make a left at the corner where the hardware store used to be. Then carry on past the old farm (they built a whole subdivision there), and when you get to the big house where the Smiths used to live ..."

It sounds helpful, but of course, it isn't.
