    I remember the days I could sniff out a pub from a few miles away.

    As a youngster of 19 years old visiting Canada, a group of us managed to walk two hours before finding a bar. We didn’t really appreciate how big Canada is and how small England is.

    Plus Liverpool has a pub on every corner.

    Never mind I can't find my way to my local pub without a sat nav.

    Time to get worried is when you need your satnav to find your front door.

    Don't blame google, blame the breeding.

    Yep, it's got so bad that at times even google can't work out what I am trying to spell, I then resort to voice commands to try and get close to what I want

    Google in itself is not a problem. It is the social context of poor education and widespread cretinism.

    If I can stop other contractors pinching the code that I'm pinching then I much prefer cut and paste.
