Shownotes Transcript

In my childhood, it was common to see a ladder wagon here and there. These were wooden trolleys in which you could place materials and transport them by hand. Today you might still see them in folklore museums but not in everyday life. A pity really. They were not only practical for goods, but as children we also enjoyed sitting in them and being pulled by an adult. Today, alternatives are used, optimised in terms of weight with lightweight plastics, usually covered so that nothing gets wet even in the rain, with a coupling for the bike and so on. Understandable and practical - but no longer playful. Practically optimised but with little room for a child's imagination. Today, this is more likely to be left to a Playstation or other electronic device. Everything used to be better - that's not true in many cases, especially in the healthcare sector or whatever. But perhaps it is when it comes to toys.

I wish you an extraordinary day!
