There is nothing new under the sun...
Gin Lane by William Hogarth 1751.
There continues to be comment in the press about the Manchester photo.
From this morning's Daily Telegraph:
Quote:
Hannah Kirby, who is wearing a red dress in the photo, explained to the Manchester Evening News that two of her friends were floored in a scuffle, with one of them snapped appearing to be relaxing on the road while reaching for a beer.
“[On New Year’s Day] my dad rang and said I was in one of the photos. I went to look on the website and I couldn’t believe it. Hilarious!” she told MEN.
“He wasn’t casually chilling and reaching for his beer. There was a bit of commotion went on and he was knocked over but managed to save his bottle of beer.”
Referring to the other man appearing to be restrained by police officers, she added: “He didn’t get arrested, he was fine in the end.”
