Idly thinking today of what we do with the time saved by no longer having to:
Emery the car aerial attachment point on the car wing to get good radio reception.
Change the points and condensor in the distributor.
Apply GunGum to the silencer.
Grease the suspension.
Re-solder DIN Audio Plugs as they always seemed to fail.
Record Top of the Pops.
Respond to calls to elderly relations when their TV picture has "slipped". Go and adjust the Vertical Hold.
Fit a nice new MK White plug on a new appliance.
Check the fan belt before going anywhere and ensure you have a spare.
We got good at these jobs - any others?
