Ye Gods....

I had the misfortune to watch part of a BBC TV lunchtime show today.

"What is this?" asked a competitor.
"It's a glass paperweight", confirmed the expert.
"What's it for?"

There’s a hilarious vid of young people trying to use an old dial Telephone.
“ Youth of today know nothing” has been echoing down the centuries.

The BBC mission includes "to act in the public interest, serving all audiences through the provision of impartial, high-quality and distinctive output and services which inform, educate and entertain".

The lunchtime show achieved just that - it informed and educated some (those with remedial needs) and entertained the rest (who were unable to conceive any so ignorant)

I'm 71 - I remember once using a manual petrol pump and a wind up public telephone.
