Old Europe still has pockets of old-style, genuine, unashamed self-indulgence, which are unavailable in the more austere and puritan attitudes promoted in the UK.

When we were growing up, long before your time, Wendz, 'the teenager' as such, had yet to be invented - they were simply young people who, more or less, conformed to the norms of their day. We do remember the 'Teddy Boys', and they were somewhat frightening, as we believed them to carry flick knives.
