Society Description We are living in a world where society's morals have become warped beyond recognition, pleasantness and civility being discarded as worthless remnants of a bygone age. However, all is not lost. There are still some in this world to whom common courtesy and immaculate dress are held in the highest esteem and it is these few to whom we say; “Stand up and be counted, enough is enough! Bring your panache, your pleasantries, your civility and your charm and go forth into this nation. Bristol shall be civilised again!”
