Suze, that just about takes the cake and the biscuit and eats it too!
I once recall a friend's father, having visited some fairly poor
country (not the UK:-) saying "They are not poor; they all drive
around in Mercedes motor cars." Indeed. But what about all the
"invisible people" who do not go out, since they cannot afford to buy
goods or services (like transportation).

My old department still has no news feed, either...
