You are probably right.
However, people were (generally) happy with their lot. The difference was City centres were safe at night, policed by a couple of bobbies on a pushbike....
People didn't trash the place to get their hands on the latest transister radio, Marks and Spencer's cardigan or Tommy Docherty football boots....
