Ozzy's abuse a hit for sat nav drivers

Ozzy Osbourne's abusive voice giving directions has proved a hit with satellite navigation users.

They can download impressions of the rocker-turned-TV star to provide swear-word-littered in-car advice.

“In 400 metres you have reached your f***ing destination,” he shouts, and when the signal is lost: “I’ve lost the f***ing satellite!”

Voice Skins – who provide the celebrity voice overs – say Ozzy is selling twice as many as other options put together.

“Ozzy’s voice comes in two versions — with swearwords or bleeps. He is the top choice by far,” said boss Chris Hilton.

The next-best seller is his wife Sharon, who also gives her instructions bluntly. “Turn around, a***hole,” is one comment.
