MR VERSATILE

So, you’re the adventurous type huh? In the mad scramble for buyers to toss their workaday clothes into the laundry, only to don their expensive new adventure wardrobe and clamber aboard something that looks like it should be part of the lunar module and costs about the same, it seems to me that the whole practicality-fad has disappeared up its own GPS co-ordinates.

I love that we cannot punt a biggie down a dirt track. Don’t get me wrong. I just wonder if some of the folk that are convinced that a big chookie is the go, might be better served if they just get fair dinkum for a minute.

I mean, all those zips, plugs, clips and batteries just to grab a pint of milk and a loaf of bread, the whole gig is really a little comical.
