Backward progress ie modern digital cameras that take half an hour to take the picture when the old ones took the picture instantly. Dying for a coffee but all you can get is the dish water from the vending machine. Drama free view channel that breaks for an advert halfway through a sentence. And getting bombarded with none stop charity adverts.

 
I don't know if everyone gets this particular radio station in their area ......my regular builder always has it on ...there are worse , but over the last two years we have completed two large new builds and numerous extensions accompanied by SMOOTH  RADIO .

SMOOTH plays pop records from the '70s   ..nothing before , nothing after,  other genres of music do not exist .     From the new farmhouse we did two years ago to a local extension just before Christmas , the playlist has not altered .  

       Every other day it seems to play the same songs again & again & again,   it has only two Elvis records,  Suspicious Minds & In the Ghetto .it constantly plays  He 'Aint Heavy he.s Me Brother........Crocodile Rock ......You're so Vain....  that bloke who used to be a drummer for some group .........Daydream Believer ...Strawberry Fields ........  It's Yesterday Once More .. etc.  Repeat repeat repeat .

Nothing wrong with pop from that era as such,  some great artists but FFS  diversify a bit    ...never heard anything so narrowed down .
