    People don't need televisions or high-speed travel explained to them. They do supposedly need know-nothing, bullshítting salesmen though, for some unfathomable reason. Arts grads can at least fill that void.

    Surely the whole thing can now be done online to avoid all this crap?

    I'm not sure it's really a laughing matter, SW. I was only over there for the fishing.
