Sir, – Last weekend, while driving on a local back road, I came across a car parked on the verge, with a driver requesting me to stop. The car was a new model, costing well over €100,000. It was fitted with all the most modern technology, gadgetry, communication systems and computerisation.
However, it had run out of petrol.
A parable for our times, perhaps. – Yours, etc,
