In your inimitable way you draw such strong images of shifting social sands John, and I felt this drew me in like the warmth of a fire, in contrast to the cold around. As an aside, I have discovered there was a Bielefeld on my mother's side ( died 1896, and I have a complete record of a family who came from the town of the same name which originally was in Prussia, so you have reminded me of that! I've no idea if there is a Jewish origin but one did rise well to be a famous producer of papier mache ornamentation from London. (Charles Bielefeld if looking online.

All the best to you Ray

Keep writing.

Interesting piece Greg. The days of shops with nothing wrapped in plastic is a big change. The choice of privately run businesses many, and always MacFisheries, smells of butchers and bakers mingling. Tokens were certainly on offer. in my home town we had William's discs as tokens. The phrase of Let sleeping dogs lie is like a trump card somehow!

SG - public spirited? Exactly the necessary attitude for the sort of
job that once drew admiration for the efforts made to ensure the mail got through. On a plus side, just now, a courier for a well-known online site actually brought a parcel up two flights to my front door...
and he was a young guy...someone this oldie might have been
tempted NOT to expect to make that extra effort. It's nice to be pleasantly surprised!

Thanks Jennifer, yes sadly, as a parent and grandparent, I really do fear for our future and for the potential, "Shitstorm," we've left for future generations, and I don’t mean that in a judgemental way against our own, and past generations, we just didn't know. But we do now, so there's no excuse anymore. But hope springs eternal, we have the ability to try and put it right, all we need now is the will.
