Life Before Bar-codes

Life Before Bar-codes

 

 

Do you remember

What life was like                                      Before implants

                                     Before bar codes

Before dress codes                                     Before micro chips

 Before cell phones

Before downloads                                      Before who knows

    Good write Neville. Yes, I was in a supermarket then. We had price-label 'guns'. We were like children hiding our toys, as there were not enough guns to go round. Ridiculous! I hid mine the night before in the pet food section of the store's basement.
    And yes - was there life before my singing?!

      Tis a funny old speeded up world we live in today innit.... and thank you for popping in again today.... Neville

      Before double yellow lines, before we got old, before cashpoints and self service checkouts.... look what you've started !! Actually, well done, a quick trip down a light hearted memory lane.

      • Neville

        and to think I had my serious head on when I started... cheers DA..

        You mean when people actually had to think for themselves and remember things ....AHHHHH!!Well my memory cells were never that good... what to do

        Thnx for taking me back then

        • Neville

          yes, before the current preoccupation with immediacy .... my pleasure and thanks for checking in.. I presume you did a full risk assessment first ... 🙂

          • Suresh

            Shooot! I forgot again - too late now

          • Michael Edwards

            Ah days of steam pud and chips in newspaper - I remember what it was like.

            • Neville

              too risky now they say.. what a lot of baloney ... cheers Michael

            • Fay Slimm.

              Yes - before time sped into the confusion of what to press where and when and of course how - - on yes Nev -- - I remember it well.

              • Neville

                Good evening Fay.. thank you for checking in... & wherever you are right now the view outside is as splendid as the one I am admiring..... Neville

                I can still remember life before adding machines, let alone computers. Slower happier days.

                • Neville

                  Indeed.. I still hanker after those glorious days of steam.. Bless you my friend.... Neville
