Having the misfortune to use the M25 for the first time in over 6 months, and find its still pretty much still the realm of brain dead morons who sit in the outer 2 lanes of a 4 lane motorway when the inner two are pretty much empty. The majority seem to drive BMW, Audi or Merc, so maybe it’s something in the car’s genetics that makes it want to stay right (it’s obviously designed to drive on the right)
And on the above driving style, a 5 star review goes to the utter in an Aston sitting in lane 3 who when I went out and round him and all the way back across to lane 1 started flashing his lights at me, came racing back past me and cut in front, and then raced off up the road. At least I woke him up 👍.

I’d have brought you up all the bits I could carry in Skippy this summer but highly unlikely that I’ll be able to do a Scando Road Trip this year. Hopefully next year.

Just watched the latest Karcher tv advert. Why would anyone want or need an app connected pressure washer. Just turn the knob on the washer for gods sake !!
A great example of technology where it’s not needed.

This week, I discovered that Dyson have brought out a vacuum-cleaner that not only shines a laser from the front to show the dirt to the user, but that shows to the user a real-time histogram of the number/size/proportion of particles it has inhaled. I DON'T CARE!

You should see all the 'personalisation' stuff coming out in Medical Devices. Most surgeons haven't got a clue about most of what they use and what it can do but this is now seen as 'essential' just because it can be done!
