SO now we know who has started young men spitting. A footballer!
When I was young, which is a long time ago, I remember notices, quite large ones, on the trams, to the effect that spitting was prohibited and that if you were caught you would be prosecuted, I suppose there were many transmittable diseases in those days, especially TB, which we always referred to as 'consumption'.
Nevertheless, disease is still around and we all want to keep well.
I don't consider spitting to be macho at all. I consider it to be filthy and disgusting, and would like to see legislation to have it prohibited.
