Brits who were young adults during Churchill’s leadership are now (at least) in their 90’s or deceased. The generations since WWII are nothing like their grandparents who knew sacrifice for God & Country. Today, the churches are empty and life is all about world travel, modern homes, consumerism and trashy music. The days of English good manners, modesty and genteel behavior are over.
I know this from my own English family.
“....and I...live by the river.”
