squirmeliaWhile searching for more information on the Bakelite Museum, I found the Plastics Historical Society. They had an article about the museum in Plastiquarian, a publication that also has had articles on tupperware, Lego, golf balls, vinyl LPs, and a whole range of other plastic-related subjects. If you join their society, you can even attend a joint event with the intriguing Worshipful Company of Horners (who support not just horners, but also bottlemakers and the plastics industry). Past winners of the Horner's Award for Plastics have been a shopping trolley, an educational aid, a plastic can, and a ventilation system, but you can enter this year by the 2nd week of June with your own plastic creation.

I was dressed in a way that resembled a postbox and imagined that the pavements I walked over had been replaced by shiny plastic ones. I contemplated whether I would miss the concrete, so quickly reached down and touched the pavement, just to check it hadn't already happened. It hadn't, but at work I moved desks, and now I can see buildings and real clouds, not just their reflections.
