Like Dinosaur Club, we all brought books about dinosaurs along vs encyclopaedias. The other thing is that I am at least 5-10 years younger than most of the respondents to my post and things changed a lot in that period.

The metro stopping at stations that don’t exist would be impressive!

Just the one?

Agree. Also seems very outdated.

A lot more irritations and very few pearls IMO. Also seems to be ranting mainly from a certain demographic.
