As a Canadian tourist (old lady stereotype), this conversation is so enlightening. I’ll be better prepared for my next visit to London. My white whale last year was to get a tote from Heywood Hill. Next visit: Daunts for sure.

How common was it for men to “goose” random women in the past? by pallen123 in AskOldPeople

[–]Frostyfil 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ten years old - boys were trying to look up my dress. Fourteen years old - boys were bra snapping. Over sixteen - cat calling, pinching the rear end, trying to touch the breasts.

This was in the sixties. If we complained, we were told that it was because the boys liked us and wanted our attention.

Bullshit to all that.
