A sign on a wall of the most boring bar I have ever been….

Some old ads from Valio (Finnish big dairy) where I visited today having a lecture. The cutest of all tells that “We serve here only cream (Finnish Milk propaganda office)” .

Times have really changed!!

I pegged the people in Valio to copy me these adds- I think that they are just marvellous and I really would like to have them haning on my kitchen wall)

Today I have visited British Telecom facilities in Ipswich, England and I had a wonderful opportunity to interview futurist Dave Brown about anticipation of futures in BT. Dave told me BT’s ways to look at to the future and their tasks inside the company. This information is very valuable for me, because currently I am working on a book about anticipating customers’ needs. So thank you Dave for the interview and your hospitality!

While being in England I have used my extra time for spotting weak signals. Here are some images about things that I found extraordinary to me. From these images you can see, that things that are new to me are probably every-day life for Englishman.
