Too bloody right, I could really do with a good sleep and a wallow in my own
alienation.

Cheers for the site. Public information films have always been disturbing. I
remember "Granny gets the point" - a 1971 British film explaining decimal
coinage. The shop-keeper was barely restraining his disdain at the dithering
and confused senior citizen. Even weider as we were moving from multiples of
12 pence to 1 shilling and 20 shillings to one pound, to 100 pence = 1
pound. Grannies all over were sneering and wondering if it were a plot to
ridicule them and soften up the populace for euthanasia.
