The idea things were better in the Olde Days gives us a lovely opportunity for yet another Americanism which makes no sense whatever.
In a pig's eye it was better in the Olde Days!
WTF ... in a pig's eye? What's in a pig's eye but his eyeball?? WTF???
Ed: I believe the expression means 'from the standpoint of a pig'
Ah, it's something political then.
Roll it, BBC
There was some surprise at trade with China this far back that's not some BBC fantasy and there was some research not so long back into the Roman coins which had turned up in Japan.
The next half a millennium turned out to be the worst in historic memory with disease, pestilence, and starvation along with the loss of all hope after the collapse of Rome.
There has never been a more classic study in the need for a central point of command and control in any context since any pretext at civilization disintegrated without it and human life became, as I have often erroneously attributed to John Locke, 'nasty, brutish, and short.' (WIKI: John Locke)
Note: see Thomas Hobbes although I have not read his work.
Most of John Locke's life was in the Fifteenth Century so he wasn't so far removed from the Dark Ages. He was far removed from brutism and you may want to review his work in philosophy.
Life was better in the good old days? We don't need the old American expression since we will go with Johnny Rotten.
That's a load of bollocks.
Note: he's far more literate than you may believe.
