Cheers, DG, I spotted my error while you were posting.
A few years ago, you could flick through someones record/CD/tape collection and get a good idea about their life, the sort of places they'd frequent and generally if you're going to have much in common with them.
Today though, people download all sorts of stuff, or simply copy someone else entire music collection, as it costs nothing, with a more is better attitude. I try to 'keep it real' and if something doesn't fit my bag, then it's gone.
A few weeks ago, I selected a few sample albums that I thought someone might like (they're a good few years younger than me), put them on a stick, only to be asked why didn't I just write them down so they could have checked them out themselves, rather than dick about with the USB stick. A little rude, but they didn't know any better. They said thanks etc, but mentioned that to save me time in future I guess.
Take me back to the 70's, PLEASE!
