Hello from Bankless Greece, rapidly becoming a Hell on Earth.
Getting things in perspective, all our car issues are very first world minor problems and of no significant consequence in the grand scheme of things. DSG or Manual, DCC or not, 18" or 19" Wheels, 5.8" or 6.5" or 8" Sat Navs or not, Bridgestone tyre changes, Diesel or Petrol, mpg levels, FWD or 4WD, Leather or Cloth, Red or White or Blue or Black, etc. One has to smile.
The problems here in Greece have brought me down to earth with a huge bang and are really grounding. Things get worse on an hourly basis. It is not nice at all and is now quite stressful.
Our first world problems are so much easier to solve and much more 'fun'. Quite boring (relatively) UK with no real serious problems has much in its favour and I appreciate it hugely. I miss it a bit, even with the really bad food quality, excessive prices, morose people and the lousy and changeable weather, because it is safe.
Carry on!
Hello from dull but remarkably sunny UK,
I imagine witnessing and experiencing the events of the last few days in Greece, first hand, really have put things very much into perspective! We all get hung up on the mundanities, trivialities and minutiae of our lives until something bigger comes along to shake us from our reverie. It's the way life is! And for the most part we should be grateful that we can do just that, including deliberating over the relatively insignificant finer points of cars details of cars tyre grip, mpg performance, DSG v manual etc, etc. A good thing to stop every now and then and appreciate that we have that luxury and remember that many others don't.
Now! DSG or manual?? Discuss
