    Things in living memory which seem very anachronistic now

    Staying on the vehicle theme, those earthing strips on cars that stop a static build up - but in reality they don't. They still sell them though! Not seem them in ages.

    Football

    Really sad news, feel for the family and friends. I know a family who lost a teenage son in a car accident and it's been with them every day, this happened 20 years ago.

    Train Sim World

    I've just bought it, £5 off in the DTG summer sale (wow! DTG having a sale!) however I didn't expect it to be discounted for a long time. Main reason for holding back is that I was awaiting a PC upgrade and I think this route would have killed my old PC off and GFX card. I am certainly impressed...

    Things in living memory which seem very anachronistic now

    I wanted to find the lane assist on my new car (a few years back) - not that I would use it- and after some investigation it wasn't in my car's spec.
