Reflections on Past, Present and Future

I can detect a slight thread of continuity with the Romans here. There's a tendency to reproduce something Grand and Historic and Classical in a 'modern' context (like the Roman re-use of Greek myths and art forms in Pompeii). When it's done modestly, it looks great. When it's over blown, it can look a wee bit tasteless.

Ah, Chavs were universal creatures, weren't they??
