"Me: I wish I were back in the 1930s when boys went skinny dipping in the Serpentine. Errant: But in the 1930s they had higher rates of infant mortality, ergo, you are in favour of dead children!!" No, what I probably said was that the lower standards of living you pine for which resulted in more neglected free-roaming children was also responsible for the era's higher infant mortality rate. But I guess you can't have nostalgia without wanting it both ways. ![]() |
