Changing Culture


Strange how things change.

Nowadys, a bloke with a dog, panhandling on a busy shopping street would be taken by many to be a chiseling dole-scum (© Daily Mail), looking for a free handout. Most folk would hurry past without making eye contact.

Forty years ago, such a scene seems to have been an example of local colour, and a suitable subject to show the neighbours

Curious.

Bonus - I know it's an advert, but...wow.
