Just got back from a visit to a Long Term Care facility where this book on insights into how the world has changed was lying around. It all seemed impossibly long ago, but the thing is, for my parents’ generation milk delivery was a reality, and there were still horse-drawn wagons being used both on the farm and in the streets.
I’ll post a few more of these in the weeks ahead.

Things changed, VERY fast. I don’t think any of us realize just how that has affected the whole world. Or what it is setting us up for.

Yep, I’ll be posting a few more of these. Some of them are kind of funny but they all do make you think.

When I was a kid we had milk delivered by horse and cart. Still have it delivered twice a week now but the guy comes in a van.

Wow! I don’t know of anyone who gets milk delivery over here, though I guess it happens.

Milk delivery is still a thing in the Uk, and it’s considered very hipster to have milk delivered. Used to come in bottles with silver tops, or in plastic bags. Things were better under Queen Victoria, I’d vote for her again.

I’ve never seen it happening over here. I wouldn’t want it sitting out on the porch for long. Wouldn’t someone have to always be home?

Temperatures here rarely get above refrigerator temps so it’s not a problem.

I’m not hipster! Could easier buy milk from corner shop or the supermarket (where it’s cheaper) but I think milk delivery is a dying thing and I don’t want to be responsible for our milkman being out of work.

It’s coming back into fashion in the UK. And your ARE an Internet influencer, and so are Lord Vincent, Winnie, and to a lesser extent, chicken man.

Hah there’s no evidence of me influencing the internet at all, my Sky box won’t accept our password most days in spite of phone calls to customer services, ‘can’t find your router’, ‘You are not connected to the internet please check your settings’ pfft!!

I see little cars with their dashes covered in stuffed animals everywhere. You’re influencing millions.
