What? No, there are NO sockets into which you can plug your mobile phone or Ipad or whatever the damn hell you kids use these days! In my time, we had conversation. Well, sort of. Yeah, you'll soon get bored and leave, that's the plan. Young 'uns these days, I don't know...

Haha! Good idea, Trollheart
but don't we already have a Grumpy Old Man thread? I had it in my hand just a minute ago and now I can't find it....

Welcome back, Screen13
Yeah, crazy prices! I remember when a new paperback cost "three an' six", which would be 17.5p in modern Brit money.
When I was a kid, you could get 4 cheap sugary chews, each in its own wrapping, for a penny. So they were technically a farthing each, though, the farthing no longer being legal tender, you had to invest in two chews, minimum.
