May golden arches buckle

 NEW click image to print & collect.   Let’s wish upon a time when … Billboards fall flat on their perfect faces.   Golden arches buckle at the knees in shame.  And we’re free from going anywhere ‘quick!’, ‘while stocks last!’, ‘before it ends’ or be the first so you ‘don’t miss out’ on a ‘must have!’   A time when fat was used to make gravy not deemed ugly, unsightly lumps and rolls to be sucked out (and in) …

… massaged away, jogged off, measured and cut, or provided a menu for those surfing for something to escape world news and those who dream of being the ‘biggest loser’.   A time when kids associated ‘board’ with scrabble and not nothing to do.   Offers weren’t ‘limited’ and we accepted fixing wasn’t quick.  When buses had people going up and down through windows not wrapped in wrinkle free banners promoting the same.   Googling was staring in wonder at the sky or the sound of a blocked sink – not entry into an unsavory feast for curious young minds to consume.

A time when watching the sunset sizzle into the watery horizon was a celebration of the end of another good day – not an added load on the social consciences our children must carry into the future.

And … a time when seagulls went fishing and stopped squabbling over chips!
