Its like losing a penny and finding a 50 quid note.
Or more like, losing your contactless card and finding out someone had a night out on itQuote:

Thing is, these things are only newsworthy because they're so rare that it's a big deal when it happens, you think you're posting some sort of aHA when you start threads like this but in fact you're proving the completely opposite point.Quote:

You can be technologically inferior and still see sense.
For years my mother in law would send texts that were just a long string of characters. The lack of a space bar on her (non smart) mobile was too much, but she still managed.Quote:

She may get things wrong but she certainly gives technology a go.
My nan was the same before she passed about 15 years ago, uses to send the funniest messages on her Nokia before smart phones and manage to make the odd call. It's nice that people have a go, no harm in making mistakes but making the effort is the main thing.Quote:

Hopefully the chief clown will be treated the same as all the rest of us cannon fodder when he returns from DC then maybe the 3 ring circus will do something about it.
