[Mgs] Two 12 volt batteries

[Barrie Robinson]

Without seeming to be a smart sod, why would anyone want to be 
plugged into the 'net continually?   Why don't you get smart and 
organise your life......  and work !!

I was at a car show today and had to give a chap a telephone number - 
He asked his two daughters if they had a pencil - Neither had pen or 
paper.  He launched into high efficiency high tech and asked them to 
text the number to him - but both their cell phone batteries were 
flat - They were in complete confusion, so I got a scrap of paper and 
pen from the MGB.  The latter I showed them as my "high tech" device 
and how it was switched on!!!!!  I wrote the number on the scrap of 
paper and gave it to the chap.  I advised both girls to go really 
really high tech and keep pen and paper in their handbags !!!
