It reminds dem boys of de time dem boys went to a pub Down Under. Dem boys order a pint. As de bartender put de drink on de counter, dem boys asked him for the WIFI code.
“Oh no,” he said, “there’s no WIFI in here. In the past, people used to sit talking in pubs about their day, their families, work, politics, music, the lot – now people just stare at their phones. It breaks my heart to see; therefore, no WIFI in this pub.”
“You know what?” dem boys seh, “You’re right!” and dem boys put dem phone away.
“Thank you,” the bartender said, “In this pub I want you to act as you would thirty or forty years ago.”
So dem boys lit up a cigarette, gave him $1 for the pint and said, “No problem mate!”
