Why ?. No-one retired 'needs' such a facility.


just because you've "retired" doesn't mean you've left the world. I
spent 14 years of my retirement running an amateur theatre with its own
building. I've now "retired" from that but am still a trustee of 3
charities.


But I bet you could do all that without a mobile phone or emails, or the
internet, because prior to about 1985 people did just that.


I'm sure I could have done, but we are in the 21st Century now and that's
how things are done.

200 years ago, I could have travelled from London to Edinburgh by stage
coach and then trains made the journey quicker.
