Arm in arm

When did you last see a couple walking along arm in arm?

It is one of those things which just seem to have gone completely out of fashion. You still see people holding hands, or with arms draped round each others shoulders, so it cannot just be distaste for public shows of intimacy

Perhaps feminism has something to do with it – there’s just too much of a hint of the little woman who needs support?

Or maybe it was the fashion for handbags which made it too awkward
