  Tuesday,

  Frank,

  Some more on the theme of old people and technology. My wife and I spent the day in Inveraray.  Our daughter and her husband had come back from their caravan there on Sunday and couldn't remember if they'd turned this and that off - younger people and technology.  So they asked us to go up and check.  It's only 3 hours by bus.  On the way back we were at the back of the bus, surrounded - more like hemmed in - by (I counted) 13 Ipod type objects and a couple of Kindles.  Fingers were feverishly moving hither and thither on small screens (they think they're big, but they're small), and many had earphones stuck into the ears.  My wife and I were two of the only four not equipped.  Oddly enough, we survived the journey.

  I have no objection to people owning these bloody things, but why must they always be attached to them?

  Hugh.
