Long ago, Kim of Frog Ponds Rock, (who no longer blogs), dreamed up a meme called Sunday Selections. A place where those who were willing could put up photos they wanted to share, new, old, good, bad or indifferent, any photos you please. Nothing rude or vulgar though. And we don't mind at all if other bloggers care to join us. The meme is now continued by Elephant's Child and I join in as do a few others. Andrew is one. Messymimi is another. Drop in to their blogs and have a look. Wisewebwoman has also been joining us more often. **Elephant's Child is taking a break for the month of February** Continuing our road trip, today sees us in Snowtown, a small place 100km north of Adelaide. The welcome sign has an original windmill and the new wind power generators which we saw in a recent post along the hilltops for several miles. a painted water tower the infamous "bodies in barrels" bank which is no longer a bank All Bank signage was removed a long time ago an...
Something to think about.
And the circle has no end!!
ReplyDeletefishducky; eventually there must be an end to it. Somehow.
ReplyDeleteSadly true.
ReplyDeleteHave to thing this one through, but it reminds me of notices at work.
ReplyDelete.. this does need a bit of thinking about..... a downward economic spiral ..... do we buy more to keep stores in business and ourselves in debt.... or cut back our spending, get out of debt and workers are out of jobs... ??? I'm putting this in the 'Too Hard' basket.... great cartoon, River. xxxx
ReplyDeleteMuch food for thought in that one. The multinationals don't give a tuppeny damn about the little people. Black humour today.
ReplyDeleteyep that is certainly something to think about. I hate the way that big corporations are forcing small businesses out of the market place and need less people to work in them. the same reason I don't like "self" scanning in supermarkets.
ReplyDeleteHave a great week and thank you for stopping by my blog this week.
Elephant's Child; too true too often, and boxes don't last long as housing, one good downpour and they're mush.
ReplyDeleteAndrew; you should do a post on those notices at work.
Barbara; a lot of the problem began I think, when appliances were made of cheaper components and not made to last, so people would have to buy new each time something broke down, because it was cheaper than fixing the old. the there was the swing to a "new and improved" model each year and people, not all people but enough of them, were convinced they should upgrade. Of course the newer models were more expensive so hire purchase was invented, which exacerbated the problem because the newer models still broke down, but weren't yet paid for and so on and so on. It's a vicious circle.
Mimsie; I was probably in a dark mood the day I scheduled this one. Some of those multinationals should think about the little people who did the grunt work and put them where they are.
Jill Harrison; I used to work in a supermarket as check out operator. I could tell stories, but I won't because I have friends still there.
Big Box stores :(
ReplyDeleteWhen greed and money prevail, so shall they, sadly.
I yearn for good old fashioned paper bag stores.
