Four shootings ,two fatal,since Friday in London. Looks like gun crime is playing catch up with knife crime. Not confined to one area. Anywhere and everywhere.

No dropping litter on the pavements. No smoking on the lower decks of buses. No being drunk in the streets or you would be taken off to the police station and put in a cell for a few hours. No obscene language in the streets. Children could play outside without fear of being taken.
Compared to today life was much better and safer .You can keep your 'tech and 24/7 social media. Might be nostalgic but if you weren't alive back then keep your opinions to yourself.

I was there in the 50’s. Exactly as Andres described. Far better times with regard to law and order.
Andres. Don’t forget we had enamel signs on lamp posts then’No Spitting’ 10 bob fine.
Of course the country was full of TB sanatoriums and iron lungs in the 40’s and 50’s. TB was eradicated then but now rears it’s ugly head here again. You might ask how that can happen and where does it come from?

The butcher's bill has risen to four over the weekend in London alone. In the 50's you wouldn't get four murders nationally.

//In the 50's you wouldn't have a clue if bill 50 miles up the road was stabbed to death.//
As usual you write with no knwledge of those times.
I have my father's old scrap book of his service in the police with newspaper cuttings from the war years to his retirement in 1969.
I have a press photograph from the front page of a national paper showing my father escorting a handcuffed prisoner to court for a double murder in Edgeware Middx. The accused was a soldier dressed in No 1 uniform and he was accused of murdering a doctor and his wife in their home.
That made NATIONAL news and people in Skegness learnt of it and it put Edgeware on the map.Why? Because it was comparitively rare. Today it wouldn't make the front page of a local freebie Guardian.
Life is becoming very cheap these days in the UK just like a 3rd world country!
