Dropping in from 1999, you'd almost certainly be seeing the names Cineworld and Vue for the first time (the latter being 'Spean Bridge Cinemas' in 1999).

What? You can buy trainers from Amazon, the book shop?

and it's perfectly acceptable for middle class people to drive a Skoda, to a Lidl? 

Also, why are there multiple Polish / Eastern European shops when there are only ~10 Polish people in Scotland?

There are loads of things that would be jarring about 2024 to 1999-eyes. 

I saw something today about the anti-vaccine movement. In the late 1990s/2000s the anti-vaccine movement was left-coded, hippy parents, naturopaths etc. There were right leaning aspects to it but it was certainly a movement that probably leaned to the left-ish side of politics. Now it’s almost entirely right-wing and the nutcase side of it. 

There about a million other things but that’s one that jumped into my head.

Fingering a burd at the back of a cinema was replaced with 'Netfix and Chill'
