I pay at the pump for my diesel but I don't touch the key pad with my finger. I use the tip of my car key to punch in my number..

I know,....My mattress has become very lumpy with all the £50 notes I have hidden under it...will I live long enough to spend it all I ask Myself,

Serious question.

What about those of us (I'm pretty sure that I'm not unique) who don't WANT to keep up with the times.

I'll use some of my own predictions to illustrate my point. Take wrist watches. I could easily buy and make full use of a smart watch. But I don't want to. Same with digital watches - not for me. I'm strictly analogue. Analogue chronograph? Nah. I like a simple tells the time old turnip. OK it's an Omega but that's just 'cos when my last thing gave up the ghost I liked the look of it. The only concession to modernity that I made was that it's battery powered but that's because it was cheaper!

Then our television. Smart it isn't. Not because I couldn't navigate around the various features but I just don't WANT an all singing all dancing idiot box that does as it's (literally) told.

So likewise some people don't want to change themselves to fit the world and it's far from restricted to those of us who are long in the tooth.

Why should we?

OK I can well understand that contactless payment is an exceptionally good move during this pandemic but many folk don't want to use contactless payment and in a good number of cases for very good reasons least of all being an "age related window licker".

I could come and tread it down for you May.....

Hmm!...I may just take You up on that Rab..gerron Yer bike and get up here quick and I'll shower You with Scottish £50 notes...You could be My last hope,

PS...don't tell the Wife.
