I like this.
See also: the fact that you now can't remember anyone's number, so if you lose your phone, you're stuffed.

Sat navs have not necessarily been the death knell to middle-aged traffic wallahs; I hear the question "Which way did yours tell you to go? Mine said to go via North Taintborough because of the roadworks in Gruntlington-le-Hever" on a semi-regular basis.

You could be right about the underage drinking though: never once in my life have I been carded, not even when I used to buy cider from Tesco's when I was 15.

That rolling news thing brings back memories of the Iraq War coverage on the telly, where the news reports for an entire sodding year were "People today shot at each other in a sandy environment."

Yes
I suppose you're right in that Sat Navs give traffic bores another topic of conversation.

On the ID-ing front, I occasionally get asked for ID nowadays (in my thirties), and yet it was a seriously rare thing when I was in my early twenties. A lot of chain pubs and supermarkets just seem to have become incredibly zealous about it.
