Declining standards of today.

As you are all aware, Mr Heckles is indeed a man of good taste, style and sophistication whilst cutting a debonair, Nigel Havers-esqe swaithe through all that is wrong in the world today. But nothing gets me all riled up like them there ''scruffy buggers'' ... well, apart from that talentless thug; Cheryl Cole.

Yes, whilst flicking [yes, i did say FL-icking]  through some old photos t'uther night it dawned on me how people's dress sense seems to of disappeared over the past few decades. My old Polaroid pictures of family and friends on trips to the coast all had something in common, they were all wearing collared shirts and trousers even in the height of summer. And very smart we were too! Contrast that with you slovenly, unwashed folks of today. Most of you people, regardless of where you might be, walk around looking like you've spent the night on a park bench or gotten dressed after waking up in a burning house!!!



The good olde days

 Yes indeed. No scruffy types back then you know. Everyone was well turned out, keeping up the standards. It's the kind of stuff that made the Empire so great. Why even on a recent night out at the theatre i was horrified to see people wearing .... wait for it.......jeans.... and trainers, God dammit! Have YOU people have no shame? If you can't get spruced for a night on the tiles then exactly what can you spruced up for?? Where will it all end?
