I usually look forward to reading your posts, now I am not so sure.
I referred to them as "anachronisms" and "dinosaurs" and as such am at a loss to understand how this possibly infringes "Family Values". Whether it contributes to charities is neither here nor there, the fact remains it is an event rooted in the 19th century, maintaining and nurturing the conventions of dress and behaviour of those times with little relevance to people and how they live nowadays. If you consider my opinions to be disparaging, ignorant and unwelcome then so be it, we must agree to differ although I would not presume to claim the high moral ground of "Family Values" for mine.
