Great quote:

"I don't like progress" Jack [Taylor] laughs and continues "I think as you get older you find it isn't progress, it's only change, and it isn't always change for the better. When you are young you accept all the new idea and designs and that, and you go along with it, and as you get older you find that they don't stand up, you're very sceptical about progress"
