    Tell me about it. It took me a week to work out the difference between auto hold and hill assist, and then when I switched one of them off by accident, I thought it was broken. Then I couldn’t unfold the folding mirrors.

    Once, with an unfamiliar Volvo, I couldn’t open the fuel filler flap, because I’d contravened some unknown time limit on stepping out of the car. I was there on the forecourt for some minutes until a Volvo driver came to my aid.

    Looking at the wash basin, there seems to be three kinds of water now. Hot, cold and… de-ionised?

    Every time I use one of those urinals it feels like I am pissing in the wind
