What will disappear in the next 25 years ?

[Grassland Blue]

It's a savage irony that for every great bound in technological progress we make, the more insular as a species we become.

There's a lot of truth in this.
Most people are in their own little worlds, they know where they are headed, impatient to get there, too impatient to even say excuse me they just push past or barge through. It's like being in a bizarre silent movie at times.
Hardly anyone asks for walking directions anymore either.

RE: Directions. Maps on my phone means I no longer have to ask.

Yesterday, I was able to walk to the nearest station somewhere new and also find a pub showing City.

Well, I won't be here for a start. At least, it's very unlikely.

I think there is a fair chance civilisation itself will have collapsed by then. The very rich will live on private islands. Everyone else will exist in a fascist wasteland, devoid of culture, with banal TV programmes and a government that encourages you to blame all your problems on foreigners.

I won't have a private island and I'm certainly not moving to Russia.

I don’t know about anyone else but my mum was very strict when it came to p’s and q’s.

She’d stand with a plate of shepherds pie or spaghetti bolognaise and refuse to put it on the table until I said thank you. Literally, she’d stand there for a minute if she needed to.

It’s been knocked in to me from day one. Recently, I gave a sarcastic “you’re welcome” to a barmaid who refused to look at me or speak to me. She was far too busy talking on her phone.

Warrington looks in bother there. Glad I moved.

I know what you mean. I think I was brought up correctly. Please and thank you. Show respect. Hold open a door. No elbows on the table etc.

Just feels like these days it’s going. I’ve always said. “It’s nice to be nice”
