The Sensitive Jukebox...

Tweet

Have you noticed how sensitive the touch-screen jukeboxes are? We've just had a new one put into the local pub, and I went down for lunch on Sunday, with the kids. After our meal, we retired to the bar for a couple of drinks, and we decided to put some music on. My Son, my eldest granddaugher and I, stood at the jukebox selecting some tunes, and it drove me mad!!! Soooo sensitive, that the slightest little touch either on, below or at the side of the screen triggered the action off, and whilst we were still reading the page that was up, it kept flipping over to the next. It must have taken us twenty minutes to find ten songs we wanted... and yes, before you ask, Bad Manners was amongst them! It was pouring with rain and blowing a gale outside, so we thought we'd liven up an otherwise dreary pub!!! Naturally, my Granddaughter chose some more modern stuff, but as it was St. Patrick's Eve, my Son and I put on some Irish Music which we could sing along to, like Wild Rover; and Special Brew, so we could jig about. And me, with my walking stick! I say "Bring back the old style, rotating jukebox, or even the digital!" I can handle those far better, and know where everything is. Blow this touch-screen lark! Would anybody else like to see the touch-screen go? I find it most infuriating!
