1. By the year 2050, UK households will be ultra-sonically blasting their clothes clean, using waterless dishwashers & eating bugs for dinner, according to experts. Futurologist, Dr James Bellini, also predicts households are likely to be using drones to restock the fridge.
2. Other predictions are kitchens that will operate almost entirely without water, using ultrasonic waves to power dishwashers & washing machines that will pulverise dirt. A study found adults believe self-stocking smart fridges will be the most useful piece of tech to come.
3. Smart kettles and advanced apps to help with waste management are other ways they are planning to move to more advanced technology in years to come. The research found one in five believe robots will be helping out with housekeeping in the majority of homes by the year 2050.

number 2. <sorry>
59% Brits take their mobiles into the bathroom, with 61% of those checking the likes of @Meta@Twitter & @instagram
Reading / listening to the news is next with 34% staying in touch with current affairs on the loo & 24.5% use the time to call / text
number 3. aka the turd part <sorry>
Britain’s love of social media in the lavatory is far ahead of Germany’s 37% only eclipsed by the Spanish's 64%. Yet while answering the call of nature, Brits are less likely to think about their job than their international rivals.
This is not a definitive list. It's what springs to my mind. Some of these will resonate & bring back memories, some will say 'eh?' & make no sense.
Let us know if any of these pop out for you & stir something in your subconscious.

<1> PARLIAMENT, POLITICS, PARANORMAL & PALMISTRY. There have been several acts & bills over the years to try to in some way to combat / target / repel Witchcraft, Fortune Telling, Mediums etc, etc. I was curious to find out what they were and find out more about them.
<2> Witchcraft, a perceived facility to summon evil spirits & demons to do harm. The medieval Church had powers to punish those who dabbled in magic & sorcery & priests were able to exorcise those who had become possessed by malign spirits parliament.uk/about/living-h…
<3> During the 16th C, many people believed that witchcraft, rather God's will, offered a more convincing explanation of sudden & unexpected ill-fortune, i.e. sudden death, bad harvests etc. Witch-hunting became an obsession in some parts of the country. parliament.uk/about/living-h…
