TBF Tomorrow's World accurately predicted the advent of the mobile phone, ATMs, touch screens, laser eye surgery etc but they were a long time coming and many more predictions still haven't materialised.
Especially the jetpack. Always wanted one.

Why I apparently can't have an effing jetpack....

The reason you can't get a jetpack is that you are not allowed to discriminate against one person and it is considered a potential national disaster in the making Bonce having one.
