The most worrying thing is the fact that anyone would want a Weatherspoons app.

“Children; they have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for elders and love chatter in place of exercise. They no longer rise when elders enter the room, they contradict their parents and tyrannize their teachers. Children are now tyrants.”

Socrates wrote the above around 470 BC.

Exactly. All this bashing new technology is basically resisting the evolution of society. 2 years is very quick for technology.

And also, people use phones and TVs etc for many years now. In fact, the phone market isn’t as strong as it was because people are holding onto their phones! Also iirc, the car market has declined as well recently.

The quote sums it up perfectly… people keep moaning about a changing society and it is clichéd

Nothing wrong with Spoons. I've been grateful to it to be honest - one of the only places near my office where I've got any chance of getting a table for a drink after work because they don't do reservations.

The Wetherspoons app is probably the best thing in the last decade

Re: The modern world

It's a young person's thing mostly, no different to wanting the latest pair of football boots or ox blood loafers.

I say "mostly", as once you've had a taster there's no going back.

Loved my old Nokia 7310 (was it?) back in 2002. Tiny thing, all you could wish for.
Tried Googling something and it was feckin useless!

A whole heap of hassle, if at all!

Re: The modern world

Very witty !!

Reminds me of the brilliant Monty Python sketch, a football game between Greek philosophers v German philosophers. And yes Socrates WAS playing. I think Plato was in goal for the Greeks. Surreal but very funny.

Best match I've ever seen! :thumbup:

It's just a shame the company's owner is a complete and utter wankspangle.

Re: The modern world

Some people seem to want the best as soon as it comes out

The best tv , new car every 3 years , top of the range gym membership , smart TV

I bought a Samsung A10 phone , 150 quid

Its fine , I don't use mobiles a lot ,

Saw a review the other day saying whilst it was a good budget phone " in its day " ....that was then

Its two years old ff sake , not 1992

Is it just me ?

I think the people are gullible and everyone is sucked in these days

Who needs a new car , phone , TV, sofa , fridge every few years ?

I don't remember all this stupidity 20 years ago 🤔

You should get up to date with the latest trends, Sludge you seem to be stuck in the 00’s. Obviously you are a one off.

Money makes the world go round, as the song goes.
We are in a situation where if we all stopped buying stuff, the world would be in deep sh*t pretty quickly. But we don't.
Phones are a separate issue, I think - if you want to run apps, then you need a newish phone.
No one is making you buy the latest car or tv - people do it because they want to.

More to the point, Greece beat Germany 1-0, with a late goal from Socrates !

I want the latest upgraded shimano catana spinning rod

But a rod I bought ten years ago is still going strong

Most of what we are buying these days comes from China

Which is fine as its cheap for us over here

But very bad news for the planet as they are burning fuel like Satan

Money may make the world go round but one day there won't be a world if we keep on going like we are

Re: The modern world

Buying a new car every 3 years is completely idiotic , it just keeps the world burning up

The world is mad

I agree. I know some people who have to have the latest Cardiff City team shirt. They buy one EVERY year. Nuts really
