Teenage Rampage - William Hickey 1768

Take a walk on the very wild side in 18th century London with teenage "Lad About Town," William Hickey.
There's sex, booze, fighting and disrespecting of elders - what's the youth of yesterday coming to?
It’s a nostalgic rose-tinted saunter through the taverns and brothels of Georgian England with a young man who would become famous for his diaries and memoirs chronicling scandal, political intrigue, court life and overseas travel during a vibrant age.
But in 1768 he's just a horny teenager.

• Is stealing a rowing boat morally unacceptable? 
• Which was the most violent pub in London - possibly?
• What do you do when caught in bed with another man's mistress?
• Should you ever drink anything described as "..a villainous compound of filth?" 

All these and many more questions will be answered in episode 38 of Rogues Gallery Uncovered - The podcast of bad behaviour in period costume.
