Cute and informative 🥰😊😅🌿🌸

Used to drink in there. It was my local. Me and my mates Reggie James Georgie Burge Dave Bushaway.

Wonderful places. Thank you very much for sharing. Video like 👍

Let's hear it then!

There goes Savile, talking about his two favourite things: himself and the Corporation that covered up his disgusting crimes.

Good gracious.

This explains an ancient joke by Michael Palin on Do Not Adjust Your Set. I don't think the kids in the audience understood it either.

To think this caused such a stink back in the day is laughable now. My Friend Jack eats sugar lumps, btw😂

Now then, now then.

The problem is the British ruled the commonwealth. After the war they needed help to build the country up. So they brought in the people from the commonwealth. But they did not want to go back. The British made the people in their own country work for them. India they ruled for 200 years Until the immigration is not controlled things will not change. I am second generation me and my father and my children have university education. Are doctors and teachers. Never taken public money.🙏

ThankYou for uploading the video. I lived in mitcham by the key shop for years. Now moved up to cedars ave . Been loving your videos history of mitcham . Have learnt so much.👍

It's on Spotify. It really is a crap record. I bet not one had sold until they made a fuss.

saville was revolting, disgusting, and horrific. 🍻

so saville was appalled eh,this shows the foul hypocrisy on show here,and many knew was saville was too..................jpj

The BBC were obnoxious even then

In the days before they thought about a 'rubber hose' floating oil boom! Enter Dunlop and latterly Bridgestone.

I’ve never of that before today (31, 5, 24 ) , how it got banned and it disgusted the reviewers on Juke Box Jury. Freeman, Murray and that other piece of ****. You know who.. Interesting number , should’ve had more written about it..

Who the hell wer the BBC to judge what the public should hear- and everyone on that juke box jury must hav taken drugs at some time-uttery hypocrisy

Great , remembering as the most banned by BBC artist was George Formby .

Wow imagine being found 'guilty' by the vile, fascist, stilted BBC Juke Box Jury! Where can I get hold of this record?!

£600 for an original copy in December 2023.

Jimmy Saville describing both himself and the BBC perfectly there.

They’d have loved Junkhead, by Alice in Chains then, a mere 25 years later. How different things were back then…

Just noticed the opening shot: Sado's Barbers. I used to get 'sent there' as a kid for the 'short back and sides'. No naughty mags to seek out though! Very good!

Well I guess Saville was adequately placed to know!

I remember this, I used to work with the girlfriend of one of the guys in the group

The only thing in mitcham that hasn't changed for the worse,hope it stays that way

I remember a really good 'Toyshop' called Trings on London. Loved to go inside or even look in the window! Never had the money for anything much!

Thank you for this over view of where I grew up. The Star School, parish church, Ravensbury Park etc. Sir Isaac Wilson, mentioned in passing, was evidently a local benefactor after whom the hospital was named.

I think we lived from 1954 till 1961? at #89 and behind our garden was the newly built Laburnum Estate! I knew the 'Dadswell' family (1957) as Grace's father was my Cub master at the 8th Mitcham group. We met at St Marks school. Fun to see this for sure!

What a hit that family took! Unreal! So sad for them all! Thanks for posting!

I used to walk home from Lavender Avenue to St Marks Road some evenings past the Gasworks. There was a 'gypsy encampment' very close by. I was always scared of them. I would run past on the opposite side of the road. Childhood thing I guess?

I had left Mitcham before these events happened. Will look on the map for Hazelmere Avenue to see where it was! Thanks!

Great video. Would have liked to know a bit more about the shooting and the aquital…..

It hasn't been improved at all,it was better then but even better in the 70s.

Rules of cricket for Johnny Foreigner. You have two sides, one out in the field and one in. Each man that's in the side that's in goes out, and when he's out he comes in and the next man goes in until he's out. When they are all out, the side that's out comes in and the side that's been in goes out and tries to get those coming in, out. Sometimes you get men still in and not out. When a man goes out to go in, the men who are out try to get him out, and when he is out he goes in and the next man in goes out and goes in. There are two men called umpires who stay out all the time and they decide when the men who are in are out. When both sides have been in and all the men have been out, and both sides have been out twice after all the men have been in, including those who are not out, that is the end of the game

I’m so pleased you have posted this . I well remember it from my childhood and went looking for it some years ago . I couldn’t find it - probably because I was looking in the wrong place . The location was distinctive because the grave was about three times the size of a regular grave .

Oh how I miss playing cricket. Oh and the cricket teas. 🇬🇧😋

I remember the Anti Aircraft battery sites (defunct and guns removed) just beyond Mitcham Golf course. They would have been almost opposite the Goat Pub. Climbed all over them as a kid and remember the different insignias painted on some of the installation walls! Never realized what they were all about till many years later! What did we really know at aged 8?

Amazing! I did that cruise in 1964 I believe! Sailed from Southampton and ended up in Venice. Flew back on a Viscount aircraft. I think cost was around 70 pounds and 7 pounds was the pocket money advised! I think we were i Drake dorm? All on board were very sick after we got out of the Solent! Bay of Biscay no better! My first ever overseas trip! Loved it. Food was basic but we survived! Good memories!

Used to work there as a domestic,( did the floor polishing ),it was a large site,withe the wards well spaced out,was a terminal hospital then. I transferred to the Wilson Hospital later,and also cleaned the Cumberland, although that had closed by then,with just the clinic open.

Grew up there,till about 14,have a slice of the Beech tree that used to be directly in front of the flats,which my dad rescued ,when the council cut it down,claiming it was diseased.

Just for your interest: I must have had a relative that worked along Tramway Path somewhere? As a young kid I went to a large Christmas party at the P&B Cow Rubber Company. I remember walking through the works after hours of course, past machinery that was making rubber sheets for 'Lilo's' --beds for camping at that time!

We as kids used to walk from Lammas avenue and Laburnum flats to where the gun emplacements were! Guns were removed. Climbed all over the 'bunker type' buildings! Saw some insignia's painted on some walls (Royal Artillery'). Great fun! I remember lots of what I assumed were Oak trees --simply because of the acorns growing on them! Great countryside! "Never realized as a kid what the guns were for till I was a lot older! Amazing! Well done!

Wow! With such a strong 'resume' and quite a list of customers begs the question:? Why did it fail? So much going on there? Perhaps too diverse? Core business forgotten? Great show ! Well done!

I used to live on Slade Way which tuned out to be a football field.

My uncle lived at 91,Sherwood pk rd,good memories of that area in my younger years,thanks for this👍

This is how i remember my country... quiet, peacful. No madness...❤
