The Knights of Formerly Great Britain

Bruce Springsteen apparently had a joint concert in London with Sir Paul McCartney, Member of the Order of British Empire, Knighted by the Queen, and recipient of numerous music honors.

They violated the 10:30 PM curfew, and the police immediately pulled the plug on their sound system.  Can you imagine the response of, say, Lord Horatio Nelson, Sir Winston Churchill, Nelson Mandela (OM), or Sir Francis Drake to being cut off at the late hour of 10:30 PM in a public oration or event?

Heck many teenagers have a later bed time then Knights in Britain these days.
