................thank goodness we have entered into a less violent society.

[ummmm]

You're on form today Pixi....

[carmalee]

will give you the benefit of the doubt OG - perish the thought you are one to post provocative comments - and assume you ment to write should be reserved for the better elements of all classes.

[cazzz1975]

we are an alcohol dependent society now so anything can happen.

missnemises that's what i said..

"this is what becomes of allowing the lower classes (in their hired Moss Bros. morning suits), into what should be an event reserved only for the better classes."

"Good job else there might have been some stabbings."

Yep.... you are really showing yourself up well today with those comments, AOG!

Sp meant

racing commentator Sir Peter O’Sullevan pointed out when he said: ‘Sometimes the grandstands seem over-run by tattoos and bare flesh. It’s disrespectful – not just to the Queen, but to the horses.’

Won't somebody think of the horses!?!?!?!?!

[carmalee]

well know sayin in certain circles - Do whatever you like but just don't scare the horses

[emmie]

cazz not just now, we have always have been alcohol dependent, it was a rare event that my folks and their pals, went to a party or event, day at the seaside, where the crates of ale didn't come out, it was often the women who drank more than the men, in my grans day it was the hub of the community, every weekend, sundays were singalongs usually, loads of booze, and not a few fights.

another sp! what's the matter with me this morning! - known

[cazzz1975]

life has become more stressful and people work much longer hours, thats part of what makes todays alcohol dependence worse.

[pa___ul3]

I'm guessing AOG's blatantly racist comment is staying then? Can't see him squirming out of that one!

From AoG -"In answer to JTH's continuous criticism of the Daily Mail, it is the paper that is always ready to report events both trivial (as in this case) but on more sensitive issues that some others shy from reporting on.

As for this fracas, this is what becomes of allowing the lower classes (in their hired Moss Bros. morning suits), into what should be an event reserved only for the better classes."

The Daily Mail is bad for the blood pressure,for those that read it,focused as it largely is on any example (often hugely exaggerated, sometimes made up) it can find of immigrant/ethnic or celebrity misbehaviour, said news delivered in its inimitable, sanctimonious style. It also appears to be one a mission to divide every item in the world into something that causes cancer or something that protects from cancer - and sometimes the same item does both, allegedly.

Still, good to see that automatic deference to ones betters and a genetic predisposition to tug a forelock every time a person of quality passes has been bred into AoGs DNA........... "better classes" For Funks Sake!! Which decade are you stuck in again, AoG? 1930s maybe?

em10 I agree with cazz and i also understand your comments......however, the" sing along" "Jolly Boys outings" bore no relation in intensity to the binges that we experience today.
Ask anybody who has worked in A&E to compare weekends now against weekends 40 years ago. This is putting both the A&E departments on the pint of collapse and a burden on the NHS which is difficult to control.

He'll come back in a bit and claim it's obviously a joke and none of us have a sense of humour.
