To what extent are we becoming distanced from society? Think about it, how many times have been tempted to have a cosy night in? Snuggled up on the sofa with a cup of tea or even a glass of wine about to binge on your favourite TV series or read a good book rather than venturing out in the unpredictable London weather to meet with a friend, that you could just as easily 'Whats App' or call?

I know I've been guilty of this before.
