noticing stuff.

Two things I noticed recently.

1.  Having driven around Gippsland last school holidays, I noticed that no one in Regional Victoria drives a newish Landrover.  Its all Nissan Pathfinder and Toyota Landcruiser.  There was some really old Landrover Defenders and their predecessor but no Discoverys or Range Rovers though.   In my suburb their are plenty of Rangerovers, Discoveries on the streets, despite the fact we aren’t four wheel driving anwywhere.  Makes me wonder what the country people know about the robustness of 4WD’s.

2. Hard waste collection day todayand  I have never seen so many TV’s  (big CRT style) on the nature strip.  I cannot believe they have all gone on the blink at the same time.  My only assumption is that everyone has decided to changeover to a cheap LCD or Plasma over the last 12 months.  I say changeover rather than upgrade as the old TV’s still displayed the same television content.

My off the cuff conclusion is that the people in my area are all reasonably affluent (unsurprising) and easily persuaded by advertising into making stupid decisions (surprising).
