Fings are more expensive than they used to be. But most people have to many fings anyway. We don't need as many fings as we are told we need. Fings don't make us happy.

Couldn't move for flashers when I was young, flapping raincoats, earnest faces and tongues hanging out while they tugged away furiously. Bless.

I saw my first and only flasher at 21. So fings may be the same.
