Oh for those elysian days of the 50s, when you could say what you liked, there was no minority pressure groups forever trying to change our heritage, our country in fact our very way of life.
We could go to our cinemas / theatres, have a good laugh, a smoke, eat as much icecream as we pleased, without it causing undue suffering to our fellow man. No warnings on this and that, no calories or fats to bother about, no looking over one's shoulder before speaking your mind.
Believe me unless you were around at the time you don't know how lovely and carefree it was. Your one bin was emptied every week without one first sorting the rubbish, the Police and the Laws were there to protect the law-abiding citizen from the criminal, no cameras to record your movements and being able to safely stroll the fields and the streets no matter at what time of the day or night. No need for counseling or stress managerment in those days.
