Evening all, and sending every good wish.
Well, my thoughts were first aroused when a friends grandson was over from Australia and during the course of a conversation, I said that I would send him some info via email.
He was a bit nonplussed, and eventually (after looking through his phone) gave me his mothers email address. 
So, tonight I get a call from our new window cleaner, saying that he had done the windows. previously I have been here, and paid him in cash, but today I was at work.
I said to him "email me your bank details, and I will pay you by transfer" (Not unreasonable, I thought).
There was a short silence followed by "email?" in what I can only describe as incredulous tones. 
You would have thought by his reaction that I had offered to communicate by carrier pigeon!
He then said that he would send them via Facebook Messenger, which he did.
It would seem that younger people regard email as only for "oldies" and use Whatsapp and some other thing that I can't remember! Oh yes, Snapchat.
Yours, feeling ever older, although only 60,
Phoenix
We were out with family for lunch last Sunday and my niece (35) held her phone up to show over 3000 unread e-mails
