Ha ha, golly did we know how good we had it when we were young eh?
Yorkie would never have become popular and truck drivers would never have developed Type 2 diabetes. Ginsters would be a tiny business and the NHS would have to perform half the number of heart ops.

Some may even be old enough to remember Capstan/Players Navy Cut cigarettes, not only tar laden but not even a filter! If you didn't crash the car you would probably cough up a lung at some point sadly.


Everyone loves a Morgan. Even me, unless it's broken again.

I cannot accept that a Police Officer or Ambulance Driver etc., is any more capable of driving and having a similar if not more intense conversation at the same time.



Eddie,
nobody said you couldn't use a phone while driving only a handheld phone and Police officers and Ambulance drivers are not usually texting or scanning through a radio to find a number. We are either taking direction or reporting the situation not chatting about inconsequential matters. Not to mention the intense training we go through including running commentaries.
