Seagulls, Life and everything else.
Posted: Thu Aug 08, 2019 11:37 am
The forum seems quite quiet at the moment - perhaps it is just the silly summer season. So, here are some silly thoughts.
What will the future bring to the Seagull world. In say, 20 or 30 years time, when most of us retirees have other priorities ( if any at all!)? I know that we are not all retired, but I suspect a sizeable proportion of us are, or nearly are.
With sweeping generalisations:- Will the present 30 year olds have any interest in Seagulls? Will they know one end of a spanner from another? Indeed will they know what a spanner is? Will the concept of having a hobby be completely alien to them? Will anything apart from playing with their various devices attract their interest? Will they even be able to consider how things work and what materials they are made of? Will we as a society have the time and wealth ( even ignoring the disaster of Brexit) to spend on pastimes?
Just a few thoughts whilst being idle on holiday.
