As humans, we actively categorise things. If we didn’t, there wouldn’t be a quiz. It’s a human thing. You don’t see caribou or elks holding quizzes. It’s because they don’t categorise.
Here are some categories:
CATEGORY 1: THINGS THAT ARE NOT AS GOOD AS THEY USED TO BE
- Football
- The Charts
- The Darts (Lakeside BDO championship atmosphere)
- Airports
- The specific feeling of delayed gratification that resulted from hearing your favourite song finally come on the radio because there was not other way to hear it other than go and buy the record.
- Jeux Sans Frontieres
CATEGORY 2: THINGS THAT ARE BETTER THAN THEY USED TO BE
- Internet connection speed
- Public access to the means of broadcasting
- The Darts (player quality)
- Non-smoking in public areas being the norm
- Pop Music (the sheer range).
- Kettles
THINGS THAT ARE JUST THE SAME AS THEY USED TO BE
- Doing the dishes
- Elephants
- Staplers
- The moon
- Politicians
