I stepped outside the house on the weekend, and immediately disintegrated into a column of ash. For some reason, my mind immediately went to ‘Duck Dodgers in the 241/2th Century’ and his new disintegrating pistol. Daffy is my favourite.

As I glided my feet into my Skechers Hands Free Slip-ins, I thought – in the middle of my ecstasy – “This is it. This is the beginning of the end.” Not because they weren’t amazing; and comfortable; and faultlessly simple to don ... but because we, as a society, have finally found a way to get our feet into a pair of sneakers without having to bend down.

I’m presently on my way back from a trip – in fact, I’m writing this on my iPad at 35,000 feet, wishing I’d brought my laptop with me instead.

I am talking about the debate raging around returning a shopping cart to its rightful place, once all groceries are loaded into your car.
