ELECTRICITY ~ Has transformed all of our ...

LIVES  since ninteen hundred ~ 1900

EVERYTHING  has gradually been electrified !

COOKING ~ lighting ~ heating ~ calcuators

TRANSPORT ~ and of course Radio & TV !  Some will ...

REMEMBER  gas lights ~ coal fires ~ and even ...

I  remember ~ manual typewriters and  

CALCULATORS ~ wind-up toys and watches etc !

 

LIVING  without electricity is very difficult

I HAVE  experienced oil lamps and candles ~ and

VISITED  Family ~ cooking on coke & wood fires !

I COULDN\'T  live without a COMPUTER ~ and

NOW  in the UK ~ Everyone depends on ELECTRICITY !

GENERATED  by Coal ~ Oil ~ Gas ~ Wind ~ Solar ~ Nuclear

 

Thanks for visiting ~ comments welcome ~ Love BRIAN XOX

 

When  my Great-grandparents married in 1930 they moved into

an ALL-ELECTRIC HOUSE.  They still had a wind-up gramophone

no telephone or fridge or freezer !  My Grandparents married in

1958  they had a telephone ~ radiogramme ~ fridge ~ freezer but

a manual calculator  and a wind-up model train set.  My Parents

married in 1980 and everything was electric !  In the 21st Century

ELECTRICITY RULES ~ OK !  Power Cuts grind life to a HALT !
