Not Up to The Job

It is a decision I have been putting off for a long time, but finally I have had to face facts, Robbie simply isn't up to the job. Half the time he is off playing trains, but even when he is physically present he has the attention span of a gnat. If it doesn't involve trains, computers or food he is not interested, but there are times that I need his undivided attention. I have tried everything, I have even resorted to begging, but it is hopeless, he just can't keep his mind on the job and far too often I get so frustrated that it leads to a row. Anyway I thought about it long and hard and I decided that I needed more than I was ever going to get out of Robbie, so I have made other arrangements. I have replaced him with a better model, I was surprised how easy it was, I wish I had done it years ago. I have bought a sat nav, it is wonderful, it doesn't navigate using Quail maps and it doesn't shout out when it sees a train. From now on Robbie is for decorative purposes only!
