Know and read the paper Economist, but hadn't seen that one, Jayanand. Had a 
quick look, and I was nearly put off by the face of that studied ingenue 
Boris Johnson, but also noticed this 
https://www.1843magazine.com/features/the-long-and-winding-road which should 
appeal to Nathan as it's about cycling which appeals to the same demographic 
as cameras do. There is bikeporn too, similar to cameraporn and the 
inevitable gear acquisition syndrome as you continually search for more and 
more expensive, but ever lighter and lighter bicycles. All of which is 
justified by the need to get up an imaginary alp, but allow the indulgence 
of a well made Creme Brulee and a couple of glasses of a good Sauterne....

Ahh, humanity and its drivers :-)
