Dobbin and Friends
Consider the youthful inhabitants of these enchanted islands!
They are enjoying the school holidays now
but
Where are they - they are obvious by their absence.

Like me they are all on line - tucked away in the shaded gloom of their bedroom.

The American drone pilots are the same - tickling their joystick to blow the foreign foe to Kingdom come!

Meanwhile outside [perish the thought] the farmers get older - the fertilizers get dearer  and the food zooms in price  with each week that passes.

So, let us fit all farm machinery, with a satelite uplink and instead of battlefield destruction - cornfield construction!

However one wonders how in the last days of  the oil wells how Dobbin would react to mouse control?
