“ There are so many generational differences. Neighbours were saying: ‘I did hear a noise but the chap behind me is always beating his wife so I just thought it was that.’” “

This is really a great point to make - people, so many people say nothing is better today - but if you know the past, and have heard the tales of yesterday, you know better. This is a great example of that.

We've got a kinder more verdant world than our grandparents grew up in, better than our parents, and if we do everything we can, hopefully our children will have a better one yet.
