You seem to be another one that likes to quote words that I have not said.
So Mr aog while your resource is not wrong, the so called problem did not start in the Victorian era (days of the Great British Empire to you?)
Did I mention that the problem started in the Victotian era. I simply posted that link to point out that we should have come along way from the days of Gin Palaces etc.
I cannot see the point of your unnecessary and rather sarcastic remark appertaining to the days of the Great British Empire. Unless of course you are just having an anti-British dig at my patriotism
Regarding me suffering from a case of the generaion gap.
If you mean the generation who could conduct themselves much better than some of our young do today. a generation who could hold our drink instead of fouling and then collapsing on pavements, a generation when the fairer sex could also conduct themselves in a manner more in keeping with their femininity. Then yes I hold my hands up, I must be suffering from a case of the generation gap.

AOG,
The questioner referred to 1958, my answer referred to 1908, times when our parents and grandparents were about.
Your reply was:
"...but we are now supposed to be civilised, etc..."
Your next paragraph referred to killings between tribes in Kenya (who are of course black) followed by a paragraph about " ...the days when we where savages."
Talk of Kenyans and savages and people being murdered and hacked to death with samurai swords have nothing to do with young girls drinking in Oldham,
