    Unusual Friendships

    I used to work as a voluntary Adult Literacy tutor. One of my students had been given up by most others as a lost cause, as he cold barely recognise letters, let alone words. Through a lot of patience & a lot of hard work by him, I got him to a fairly decent level of literacy, and he is now...

    Next billion dollar industry

    Once it's legal the price (and the demand, come to that) drops like a stone. I reckon the electric car industry, although currently in its infancy is going to be one of those to have a major effect on changing the world economy.

    List of cars you drove/test-drove?

    I used to work as a driver for a car delivery company, collecting all sorts of cars from one location & driving them to another. As a result I driven all sorts from a clapped out old banger which seized on me after about 10 miles from the collection point - only to find that it had absolutely...

    Never obsolete

    My hair clippers. I bought them about 30 years ago now & have never had to go for a haircut since. Just think of the amount of money it's saved me over the years.

    Visited America?

    When I visited L.A., I think the thing that freaked me out the most is the way the Freeways have the system of get into one lane & stay there, whereas in the U.K. (and all other countries I know of) we drive on the nearside lane (on the left in our case) and overtake on the next lane (although...

    popular overseas?

    Subtle (English) T.V. humour. For some reason the Americans don't seem to understand it.

    Not only loud in volume, but in their clothing as well.

    Happily, a growing awareness of the need for renewable energy sources.

    Recent Clothing Acquisition

    I'm currently on a major diet regime & as a result I've recently had to buy some new jeans & belts, as all the others were getting ridiculously large. However, after only having them for a matter of a few weeks it's getting to be the same thing happening all over again, where as soon as I...

    Experienced travellers?

    I guess it all depends on what you want from your travels. For instance, I can never understand the point of all the Brits that go to the key holiday resorts in Spain & the like, where nearly everything is run by British Ex-Pats and consequentially the native language is English, meaning that...

    Prom

    The nearest thing I ever came to that sort of thing was the School Leaving 'Party', which was a compulsory attendance, so it was no real different than actually being at school, where you were told you HAD to enjoy yourself, whether you wanted to or not.

    What kind of car do you drive?

    I can't afford to run a car, so I make do with a moped / scooter - A Peugot Vivacity. Apart from the back rack, and the front panel having been replaced with a black one, after it got nicked recently & the original torn off in order to hotwire it, this is the identical model & colour...

    Used items

    What I've always found ominous is that toilet paper is usually labeled as 'Recycled'. While I've always been a bit of an Eco-Warrior, championing the cause of recycling, I find it a pity that I've never had anything but poor result from Recycled Ink Cartridges for my printer.

    Public transport gone wrong

    My flight from Heathrow to L.A. & back. Although I'm the first to admit that I'm of rather 'generous' dimensions (which is why I'm currently on a diet regime), I don't consider myself anywhere near the levels of obesity of others I've seen, but the seats on the plane were far too small, and...

    Weekends

    Unfortunately, being unemployed, there's not much difference between the weekends than any other day.

    Anti-Bucket List

    Ending up losing my faculties, be it from a brain injury as a result of an accident, or from something like Alzheimers. I'd much rather go outright than live on as a cabbage.

    Don't understand the appeal

    Vodka. To me it just tastes like Surgical Spirit.
