I drove back to the Uk a week ago. In a service station on the M20 there was a, I think, family group of young people who happenned to wear white shirts with no ties, crombie-like overcoats, homburg hats and who had visible ringlets dangling under their hats.
There was also a group of orthodox-English young adults who had no shame in cat-calling and insulting the other group. Needless to say the insults tended more to the racial (no apologies) rather than, say, sexuality. Shame on me - I said nowt. I'd like to think I'd have done or said summat if matters progressed beyond some juvenile name calling. But that's easy to say now and the fact is I said nowt. I was and am shocked though that such a thing can happen today in England. The service station was packed - 50, 60, 70 people in view and earshot of the 2 groups. Nobody said a word.
