This is where the Brits are now.

Hot but drunk off their asses.

This has been discussed before. As I’ve said, I’ve been stepping over drunken kids in the West End for about 30 years now. This is not new. Someone posted a William Hogarth print showing drunken women in the 18th century. If women weren’t drinking in the streets of London, Jack the Ripper probably would never have gotten a start in the 19th century.

This article also paints the most rosy picture of Old England that I’ve ever read. The British may be restrained but they’ve never been polite. Fawlty Towers struck home with Brits and Americans alike because it showed - in exaggerated form - the lack of civility that can occur in that country.

If she needs to sleep it off, I have room.
