At the time, almost everyone was, like, fuckin' 'ell, fair play. That's proper old school heistery, no one hurt and taking from those who can (mostly, we presume) afford to lose a few quid.
Then they got nicked and almost everyone was, like, fuckin' 'ell, they're all full-on grandads. Proper old men. Fair play, having a crack at such a massive (victimless-ish) robbery when most people of that age are becoming slow moving human cardigans.
Then it turned out that, although advanced in years, they were a bunch of unpleasant old cunts and most people thought "Meh, fuck 'em" when they got sent down for it.
The film, in fairness, doesn't paint any of the characters in a particularly likable way and, from what I remember, does a pretty faithful recreation of the methods used to pull off such an impressive blag.
