If They Could See Us Now Only Fools And Horses

You'll Never Believe What Del Boy and Rodney Would Say if They Could See Us Now!

Alright, mate? Let's imagine for a moment we've somehow managed to transport Del Boy and Rodney from their beloved Nelson Mandela House to, well, now. Can you picture it? Del in his dodgy shell suit, Rodney with his 'this is the body' haircut, wandering around with their jaws on the floor. It'd be like something out of a bloody Black Mirror episode, wouldn't it?

First Things First: The Tech

Let's start with the tech. Del would probably think his Trotters' Independent Trading Company has been taken over by aliens. I mean, smartphones? He'd be trying to sell them as the latest 'invisible radios' or some such nonsense. And don't even get me started on the internet. He'd be trying to flog it as 'the new telepathy'!

Rodney, on the other hand, would be in his element. He'd be all over social media, probably trying to start a trend with his 'this is the body' catchphrase. He'd be the first Trotter to understand the concept of 'going viral'. Del, of course, would be trying to sell him as 'the new David Hasselhoff'.

The Money

Now, you know Del's always been about the money. So, imagine his face when he finds out about online banking, cryptocurrency, and the fact that people actually pay to use the internet. He'd be trying to sell us all 'TrotterCoin' in a heartbeat. 'It's the future, innit?'

Rodney, being the sensible one, would probably be the first to invest in some tech stocks. He'd be rolling in it, while Del is still trying to sell 'TrotterCoin' to the pigeons in the park.

The World

Now, let's talk about the world. Del and Rodney would be in for a shock, that's for sure. They'd be trying to sell everything from electric cars to plant-based meat. Del would be convinced he's found the next big thing, while Rodney would be the first to try it out and report back.

And the politics? Well, Del would probably try to sell us all on his new political party, 'The Trotters for a Better Britain'. Rodney would be the first to register to vote, and then spend the next few months trying to convince Del that politics isn't just about 'who can shout the loudest'.

The Family

Let's not forget the family. Grandad would be in his element, trying to outdo Del with his tech knowledge. He'd be the first to master TikTok, and he'd be trying to sell us all on his new dance moves. Uncle Albert? Well, he'd probably be trying to sell us all on his new 'memoir', written entirely in 'TrotterCoin'.

And Raquel? She'd be running a successful business, probably something to do with sustainable fashion. Del would be trying to sell her 'TrotterCoin' as the new 'must-have accessory'. Rodney would be the first to invest in her company, and then spend the next few months trying to convince Del to do the same.

The Future

So, what does the future hold for our favorite Trotters? Well, I like to think they'd adapt. Del would eventually give up on 'TrotterCoin' and start selling something more useful, like ethical tech or sustainable energy. Rodney would be right there with him, making sure they're doing it right.

And you know what? Despite all the changes, I think they'd still be the same old Del and Rodney. Del would still be trying to sell us something, and Rodney would still be trying to keep him out of trouble. And at the end of the day, that's what makes them so bloody lovable, isn't it?

So, here's to Del and Rodney, the original Trotters. They might not understand half the stuff we've got now, but they'd sure as hell give it a good go. And that, my friends, is what makes them true Trotters. Cheers!
