Two of those young people at work, in the last couple of weeks, have asked me “what’s that funny little car you drive?” Referring to my 1976 Beetle. They’ve never seen or heard of them before. At work we deal with Euro Car Parts every day, so I asked someone over the phone if they still sold parts for the old air cooled VW. He didn’t have a clue what I was talking about. “Air cooled VW? Never heard of them” On two separate occasions recently I’ve asked two young’uns which route they had taken when driving to Liverpool and another to Glasgow. Both of them looked at me with puzzled faces and said “we just followed the satnav”. They had no idea where in the world they were,north, south, east, west, etc. Rant over, V Meldrew.
Yes, I agree! I bet lots of those young ones don't carry a road atlas in their vehicles either! (I do)
Young 'uns. Bring back National Service I say! Or flogging. Flog some sense into 'em! Yours Sincerely Colonel Martin Fortescue Smyth. Kings Own Foot and Mouth Deserters.
Just wait until the Russians dig up our internet cables or whatever it is. The roads will be full of folk driving round and round in circles, without their satnav.
