As the new millennium approaches one becomes aware that our life style has changed enormously in the last decades. Earlier contributions in this volume reveal this clearly, and it was decided to explore these changes a little more thoroughly, so later generations reading this text will have an idea about our current life style. Interviews were carried out with almost every household and a short questionnaire was completed. The information has been drawn together in the following pages.

• The population
• Positive and negative reasons for living in Thurlow
• Shopping habits
• Employment
• The School
• Leisure pursuits
• Village activities
