Hi Listers,
I read this on another list that I subscribe to. I smiled when I read it
because it's a part of our social history that is still triving today.

>From 'Then English A Social History 1066-1945'.

"It was generally agreed by foreign visitors that the manners of Englishmen
were slowly improving.They were still violently xenophobic,to be sure.
C'esar de Saussure said it was 'almost dangerous for a well-dressed
foreigner to walk the streets of London,for he ran the risk of being
insulted by the vulgar populace,the most cursed brood in existence. He is
sure of not only being jeered at and bespattered with mud,but as likely as
not dead dogs and cats will be thrown at him.' The English were inveterate
swearers. Carl Moritz thought that a stranger in London might well suppose
that everyone who lived there was called 'Damme'. c1770.
