    Brother in law recently had major issues with his the key of one of the modern cars he has. It's one of those keys that you
    don't even have to stick in - you just push a button or something. Anyway, first he was told it was a problem with the key, so he'd it towed for €130. It then wasn't anything to do with the key, so he had to have it towed again for another €100 or so because it's apparently to do with some electronics issue.

    I always offer to show it if they'll give me a refund on the VAT. Hasn't happened yet. Hate it when people's ignorance is taken advantage of...

    On modern technology being less convenient...I think the whole TV watching experience has stepped back compared to the 90s. Multiple boxes, remotes, warm up time for decoder, set HDMI on TV, use other remote for volume, stutters performance, more ads. Frankly the benefit of many channels of ****e, and Twink in 720P don't outweigh the issues with modern TVs.
