That's the Way to Do It

It is amazing how experts are ignored, consider gardening. We are all bombarded with information; everything from tips by dodgy TV gardening Gurus to Be Your Own Edelweiss Expert books. At weekends garden centres are packed with wannabe gardeners and there is no shortage of advice at every turn. Yet I am willing to bet that 80% of garden centre plants are dead within six weeks of purchase due to incompetent cultivation.

It is the same with computers. There are more DIY computer books available than I have had hot dinners. All giving information from basic to esoteric and yet nobody, anywhere understands computers. The only area where experts are listened to is global warming. In my view it doesn't matter whether or not it is man made, it is totally irreversible. Giving up plastic bags will make no difference whatsoever and we may as well have a big party before the waters rise and the planet is inherited by mackerel. The first expert to say just that will get my vote.
