Imagine telling someone that is about 80 or 90 years old that there are cars around that run on batteries or alcohol nevermind made out of cloth, can you imagine the things running through that person’s aged mind? I know I’ll be using some pretty colourful language to describe what I think about it if I were them. Read more
