[WP] In 1797, when a man wore a top hat for the first time on the streets of London, it caused a riot - several women fainted at the unusual sight, children screamed and a man was injured. Write what would happen on a London street in 1797 at the sight of a scantily-clad person doing a TikTok dance.
