    ah! 1791…
    I remember it so well :)

    then, as now – convicts, lunatics and women should have the right to vote!

    (but don’t we have enough lunatics involved in politics already?)

      I didn’t realise you were such a venerabale age ;-)

      More than enough lunatics and not just in politics…

      PS: I took a close up of that poster, because it amused me ;-)

    Young girls are very often pickled and bottled nowadays so far as I can see (“pickled” and “bottled” as in drunk, and “young” as in teenage).

      Yes these days a lot of young girls are a bit of a disgrace…

      I think young boys haven’t changed that much since I was that age but something very strange has happened to the girls…
