Ah well, and I thought that the cartoon would make you all smile.

Whilst the idea might be good, sorry but the graphics look like they have been done by a 5 year old.
If you want to be taken seriously then you need to do much better than that.
That applies to the loading one as well!

What a grumpy lot you all are. QED your replies.

It was a cartoon that I did to amuse my grandchildren - which it did.

I would suggest that if watching it was a waste of your time, that it was even more of a waste of time for you to post your comments.

I wonder what motivates you to be so unkind. I think that your comments say a lot about you and your personalities.

Well, back to my own happy life.

Problem is .... yes, we all need to hitch carefully ... but the cartoon isn't realistic from a methodological point of view ...

If my car could back up and self hitch by raising it's front ... that might, conceivably be tempting ... but it can't ....

Also, on the one occasion when the van broke loose ... big lesson learnt (and your cartoon would not have helped solve the problem) ... A: the van tipped forwards, not backwards (the nose weight in your cartoon was clearly negative !!!), and B: There wasn't a cliff for me to drive over fifty yards ahead ... I stopped within twenty yards.

Watching the cartoon was nearly as time wasting as typing this reaction!

"Watching the cartoon was nearly as time wasting as typing this reaction!"

But still you took the time and effort to be unkind to me.

It is a pity that with so much hate and division in the world some people make an effort to be unkind to others.

I suppose that being nasty to others makes some people feel smug - it's sad, but there you are.

Not sure about your definition of 'nasty' ...

Pointing out why something isn't useful can save others time ...

Still, it goes with our PC manic society where saying NO or DON'T LIKE is now considered to be unacceptable behaviour ... except to politicians ...

'Tis a sad world, where everyone has to told they are beautiful, intelligent and marvellous, all the time ...

Bah! Humbug!

Blimey this post has gone over the top. If you put something on social media its always possible you will get a different reaction to the one you expected. Its always best to take it in good heart. In other words if you put your head above the parapet anticipate someone may shoot it off!

True, sdpiritburner ...

Even if he guessed incorrectly ... same sort of logic as applied to the hitching!
