So if the 'good old days' weren't the Victorian age, when were they?
First twenty years of the century, when millions died in the Great War, or perished by contracting the flu endemic?
The 1920's and 30's, when millions were unemployed because of the depression, and no welfare state, only the workhouse, to catch the poor?
Perhaps the forties, when yet more millions of service men and women died, never mind the civilian casualties.
50's, after rationing had ended, and before all the peace and free love of the 60's had started?
I've worked it out. The halcyon days of old were from January 1954- May 1957.
