Most of our culture and traditions are kept alive by the so called ‘old fogeys’ … without those old fogeys we would not know who we were.
Every community in the world has a section of old fogies which always grumbles about the changes in the social and religious customs and wants the governments, which are also doing their best to catch up with others, to stop the changes.
