Our recent meeting saw twelve of us gathered for a lively discussion about
‘Things That Have Disappeared’.
Between us we managed to cover – with more than a smidgeon of nostalgia :
Disappearing Words.
Long gone Occupations.
The role of the Rag’n’Bone Man.
Disappearing High Street Shops.
How the mores of Millennials have caused changes.
The mystery of Lord Lucan’s whereabouts.
The sad loss of Unorganised Play.
The changing nature of Toys.
Disappearing art of Letter Writing.
Household Items and Brands of the past.
Disappearing/Endangered Languages.
The first Typewriters and Fax Machines.
In all, a marvellous mix of things to talk about, which occupied us from 7.30pm to 10.15pm – and we could have gone on for much longer, but tea and cake stopped play!
There’s always something new to learn …..
