We all seem to be under increasing pressure these days from big impersonal organisations, whether governmental or commercial. Do this, do that, buy this, buy that - we are are all bombarded with advice, requests and demands, to the point that I can sometimes feel like a punch-drunk aged boxer prone to bursts of flatulence, incontinence and incoherence. What can we do to re-establish our independence? Here's one idea that I've started to employ - I turn the telly and radio OFF now and then, and pick up a book or magazine. Sometimes I even start to read them! Here's another - I IGNORE most buy-one-get-one-free offers in the shops, and just buy what I want when I want. Any other ideas?
