Sam Flynn:
But not in great number (especially at that time of night) with the express purpose of "scoring" with the gin-soaked floozies of Flowery Dean, Dorset Street and White's Row.
Reasonably, they would have been a minority. But just how much of a minority is something that is up for grabs, methinks. And at the end of the day, that question gets different answers depending on how much we crave before we regard somebody as well-clad or respectable. We should make a mental note of the fact that the Eastenders witnessing about these men may not have had very high demands to accept that someone WAS well-clad. Maybe a jacket and a clean shirt took care of that.
It would have been radically different if the witnesses were upper class themselves, but they are not.
They're not. Most of them would have been safely tucked up in bed or, if they wanted to indulge their peccadilloes, in a more upmarket - and safer - setting than Commercial Street after 2AM.
What I donīt know, I donīt speculate about in a case like this. Or deny. All I know is that generalizations are often dangerous. Iīll sign off with a translated wisdom from Tage Danielsson, a Swedish comedian and humanist:
"All generalizations are dangerous. This one too."
