    It's about as good as it gets, these days!
    Talking of "twit-speak" (as one of my former colleagues used to refer to some of my formal letter writing), have you noticed any of the AI generated ebay descriptions that seem to be becoming popular? See for example item ' 166467937892 - (he sometimes sells stoves). Reading that was evident that it was so far from reality as to be worth less than those who simply repeat the listing title. No idea if there was any truth in the writing.

    Not something I’ve noticed @Dean but I’m glad you’ve alerted me to the phenomenon! Your eulogy to cardboard defies computer logic, like an ‘I’m not a robot’ test.

    A collectors’ footnote: if a Dinky Toy (Meccano Ltd.) Holland Coachcraft van model crops up, it’s a rare survivor apparently.

    @presscall thanks for a wonderful read! A bicycle attachment, that'd never cross my mind in a hundred years. Amazing what one learns here!
