Well that's a difficult question. Although in some senses people do have much less stuff, moving has become a lot harder. In inner-city moves, the housing can be really far away from the road, for example if you have a enclosed housing community, like you do a lot of the time in London, then you will have to walk a long way from the car on the road to the flat in the buildings, past the gates, up the stairs and so on. Also, with some places in London, you will need a lot more of you to do the job, because you need two people to move and one to watch the car while you're doing it.

Oh yeah, definitely. But then again that's because people need a lot less stuff these days, especially with city moves, because most flats are furnished and have all the appliances built-in, like a fridge and a washing machine. So people don't ever need to move their sofas, their chairs, and their tables, because they already have them in there. And most of the time people move so often that they don't even want to get their own things and everyone looks for a pre-furnished place at the estate agents or whatever.What about places outside of cities?
Well, for example when I go to Kent, you do moves that are definitely inclusive of all the furniture and appliances, because people out there tend to move house to house rather than flat to flat. They definitely haven't changed the way they move over the years.Where people do have stuff, what kind of stuff do you find yourself usually moving?
These days the only bit of furniture people ever want to move is a bookshelf. People will just have a load of bags and a few boxes with maybe kitchen appliances in or whatever, although we don't really know what's in them. People definitely seem to have more clothes though, from all the bags we lug about.What about tech?
The only thing we'd move is a flat-screen TV and that's it. I can't remember the last time I moved a HiFi or one of those old big tellys you used to get. It's again just because everyone has everything on their phones or laptops and don't need to have a lot of technology any more. People seem to have more clothes and less tech, definitely.
