This sums up my business travel over the years. As a Londoner in the 70s-90's we had to deal with the IRA and antifur people blowing things up or setting places on fire. In the 70s it was common to still find phone boxes with phone books. Gradually lower trust has crept in, and with it, ego centric behaviour. The cult of "I" has a lot to answer for. I can drop litter, I can do anything I like, its my right. Well okay but can you not rip up the phone book please? Where people are self obsessed and only caring about themselves you will see litter and decay spread everywhere. With it trust will drop, violence and vandalism will follow. I want 70s London back please.
