How I wish that I had internet dating when I was in my late teens and early twenties. So much better than looking for love in a crowded disco. Shouting above the noise,
” Ello Luv! Wanna dance?”
With internet dating, I could have taken my pick from the World. And from the comfort of my living room table. Instead of squeezing past bouncers. Of course it wasn’t always like that. Before the Great War, many artisan marriages were within trades. For example, the dressmaker’s daughter marrying the tailor’s cutter. I guess it was quite transactional. And if you were wondering about tailor’s cutters? They were people who made shirts. In the days before every shirt was imported from China. And there are also similarities with modern internet dating.
