Haven't watched the show, but just the pics in the articles were enough to get the mind racing.

Great thread Raffles.

What I miss:

Long hot summers.
Properly cold and snowy winters with sledging and snow ball fights.
Friendly staff in shops.
Being able to sort things such as car insurance in a local shop as opposed to spending hours on the phone or internet.
No 24 hour shopping. No Sunday shopping.
Polite people.

Makes me sad to even consider this topic.

I feel really sorry for the young ones today, they have a full on 24/7 life and they just dont know how to stop. phones, playstations and TV all keep them plugged in to something and they rarely sit, think and reflect.

Being forced to goto bed at 10 oclock as nothing was open or worked after made you make your own time fille dwith other things like reading.

I think younger people have lost a lot of social skills due to the electronic age. A lot of these folk struggle to read and write due to the advent of the awful text speak.

I find it lazy, childish, unintelligent and an abomination to a wonderful language.

I didn't notice too much about the 60's or 70's for that matter as I ran away to the air force in 61. Some big old Lanchesters and Buicks a couple our lads clapped hands on. Loadsa beer in lovely old country pubs.

However, quality skirt was high on the requirements list..as always!

And I could well see those blokes on Top of the Pops were well up their own ar*es along with the BBC. Camera's too low boys!

Anyway, the cold light of day brought the nursing of these things mostly on cliff tops, but always close to the sea:

Ah, casual racism, misogyny, rampant chauvinism, polio and diphtheria...

Good times, good times
