Ok. Pass me that sack of rocks.

Seriously though, people look back at England's past glories forgetting that most people lived in poverty, with no medecines to cure what today we consider trivial diseases, and as for morality cities were filled with brothels some specialising in children, all there to service the good and the great.

A bit like today, the then First Lord of the Admirality, was under a different set of rules than the rest of us.
