Amazon.co.uk: Queuing for Beginners: The Story of Daily Life from Breakfast to Bedtime: Joe Moran: Books
Each chapter in this book is devoted to a different aspect of ordinary British daily life, starting with breakfast and going through to bedtime. Each chapter draws on surveys since the 1930's which give insights into what people did with their days. So there develops a history of breakfast, the commute, coffee break, lunch etc along with some nice cultural comments. I kept being reminded of Barthes' Mythologies. I'm thinking of putting this on a booklist for theological reflection because these are nice examples of things that would help in the analysis stage in the pastoral cycle.
Nous like scouse or French -oui? We wee whee all the way ... to mind us a bunch of thunks. Too much information? How could that be?
