    In MY day we didn’t go for all this catterwalling and nonsense. We had REAL music, not this noisy modern stuff with its clarinets and what not. Back then we knew how to be proper and respectable too. There weren’t none of that anything goes attitude that these kids today have. No girl back in my day would DREAM of going around with her ankles all exposed like that. Shameful, I say, just SHAMEFUL. Who knows what kind of wickedness that sort of thing might lead to?
