How quaint. Is there a little schoolhouse on top of a hill? Where they
teach all the grades together in one room? With perhaps a laser-optics lab
in a shed out the back?
Is there a village doctor who still makes house calls? With perhaps an NMR
and radiotherapy machine in a corner of the garage somewhere, next to the
corner that is used as the surgical operating theatre? (Pathology? That’s
in the kitchen ... between meals, of course.)
Is there a village tailor who makes all their clothes? A village generator
to supply their electricity? A telephone operator who still connects calls
by hand? A fire service with more than one bucket of sand?
Their own little TV station? Newspaper? Internet service provider?
I could go on, but you should have got the idea by now.
