Hope you paid by credit card,ask them to pay to do a chargeback

I enjoyed the lookback in time but the first UK motorway to be opened was the Preston Bypass opened in 1958. Source Wikipedia.

Just wish we could go back to that time,I was born in 1947 it was such a different world then,we made up a lot of games we played,always found joy in much simpler things ,we never had computers and mobile phones,but our Christmases were lovely,we were happy with a box of Reeves paints and Enid bottom books and puzzles,we never asked for big expensive presents,or expected them,you never had the knife crime or hear daily on rape and murder, children were brought up to have good manners and show respect to their school teachers,it is so sad how it has all changed,Thank you so much for this video it's so nice to slip back to that time for a while

I bought the 600mm version to cut tiles for my bathroom and I have to say I feel like I wasted my money. So many breakages, so many uneven cuts. I ended up using my electric cutter and just having to bare the extra time it took. Awful cutter.

Seems all I learnt about sex was wrong in the 60s. That when there was 2, male or female. if you wernt one type you was the opposite. Today there are so many types. How confusing life has become for young people....

Britain? Scotland got a mention by long distance phone call from the queen

A billion miles away from the shithole we have today

I’m wondering Why the Algorithm chose to share this 1yr old video suddenly, to all of us…& happy that it Did! I’ve Learned so much! As a genXer from the states, this is an eye opening lovely look back, that Truly shows the sadness of our youth & future, as well as giving us a fresh reminder of how Wonderful the world across the pond, once was…may she return😢. This channel is quite wonderful, Thank You

I cry for our country now. It's so sad what's happening. Thanks tony Blair...

It was definitely better. We had industry, hope, social cohesion. Now it’s just shit and getting shitter by the day

I was born in 1945 my brother in 1948. Those times were absolutely the best no bloody immigrants and and governments that cared about British people not like now in Starmers world of shite.

Those boys on that merry go round with those huge smiles,just loving their lives. It wouldn’t happen today because someone somewhere would demand they were strapped in like plates in a picnic hamper and covered in bubble wrap.

The war had been won, the years of hardship and recovery were ending, work was plentiful for all and money flowed to all classes as never before.. Britain was still achieving great things.. Those of us fortunate enough to be coming of age through the 60s were, to my mind, the most fortunate generation in history. Thank God I won't be around to witness the mess it's in 25 years from now.

I was a school girl in the 60s & in those days the mini skirts were very fashionable

This is when England was actually GREAT!!!

The child in the side car. Why no crash helmet. So its ok for her to get head injurys.🤔

A familiar voice of the past Bob Danvers Walker was one of the newsreel reporters. Those were the days where did it all go. 😢

Yes a time when you were not arrested and jailed for passing a comment on UA-cam............... HELLO, HELLO, HELLO, WHATS ALL THIS THEN LETS BE HAVING YOU

The financial boom of the early 60s was only for the few , we like many many people still had a outside toilet and paraffin heaters , no washing machine, or central heating, no telephone , no car we moved into the cottage in Wales with one ton of red sand in the front room , and an ironing table as a table

And now look at the UK it's a mess

America has been ruined, too. First, after 60s radicals tore the country apart, then Hollywood dismantled their censor board resulting in widespread promiscuity to this day, high tech everything where people don't talk to each other, but worst of all, the nation has blown off the Church of Jesus Christ.❤

Very well put together. Thank you

I entered my teens in the early 60s, it was a great time to be a teenager

This was the 1950s for some people but most of the population was nearer to the situation of the father of 16 who earned £7/10s a week. Most families had very little spare cash after buying food and clothes, even the small amounts that were available on the ration. They bought shampoo a sachet at a time because it was so expensive, New carpets? They had a small square of carpet by the fire and the rest was bare boards or lino, Central heating? The family crowded round the coal fire. Children got dressed and changed for their bath by the fire because the bathroom was unheated. In winter bedrooms had ice on the inside of the single glazed frame. Family car on the new motorway? Most families had no car so the motorway meant nothing to them. But we were happy😀

A friend of Britain here: It is heartbreaking to watch these images and compare them with the already decadent (in every way) Brtain of the 1990s to say nothing of the horrendous and dystopian UK of today but you do not have anyone to blame but yourselves. Had you listened to and supported John Tyndall and the BNP in the 1990s things would have been VERY different. However, in typical British fashion, you were horrified by his "extreme" views and chose to support the traitors who control the traditional, "respectable" parties. EVERYTHING Tyndall prophecised has happened. Now, your "patriotic" leader is that conman called Farage who publicly and proudly said: "No one did more to beat the far right in this country than me" Well done! Who is laughing now?

Check out England's third goal slow motion and pause. The ball didn't go over the line. Might have change the result . Did the linesman have a few quid on England? Just saying. Ha!Ha!

As an 8 yr old in the 1950s, I would visit both my grandparents houses once-weekly in the summer. It was an adventure to me. I'd get off the bus on the main road and then, a shortish walk to their homes. I can't remember 'anything' at all being said about it being dangerous in any way for my young age, except my mother wagging her finger saying "don't talk to any strange men!" So if a friendly bus-conductor spoke to me, I would toss my head away and purse my lips, obeying my mother's instruction. That fact now is amazing to me. Men in hats used to do that brief "hats off" gesture as a polite hello to ladies. I now sometimes think I am on a different planet and not in England at all! It may have been post-war hard times then for our elders, but as a child we didn't think about such things. We were as free as birds, and there was a natural patriotism for our country, having come through a war. Through my child's eyes, I remember that everyone helped their neighbours if need be.

great to see and hear the famous of yesteryear what a sad rflection of todays substandard offerings.

Today we have Alexa to turn down the lights.

The definition of life is change. I was born in 1955 and could so easily be nostalgic, but that's all it would be because despite all the innocence and freedom there were still paedophiles and we had the Cuban Missile Crisis/ Cold War even though we were not aware of those things.Ignorance is bliss. Live in the present, it won't always be there!

6:30 All this fawning over the Royals was ridiculous.

My father was a goods guard on the railways during the war He had to perform home guard duties as well !

I remember most of the events filmed on this video including the death of the King ,Suez ,Coronation of Queen Elizabeth ,the opening of the M1 motorway and STD telephone service .Notice the lack of Foreign faces ?

I was born in 1946 still remember the steam trains And very few motor cars Only one person in our street Had one and remember the American soldiers still around In the early fifties Then we emigrated to australia In 1956!

The 40s and 50s were safer if you survived them. I was born in 1950 and remember times were never easy.

concord was a wonderful sight

1949😅

Ok😮

What a generation, great guys and gals who rolled up their sleeves and got on with the work of rebuilding the country after a horrible war, my mom and dad lived though it and bought up us three kids and they are still with us at ages 88 and 93,shame that we do not have the same spirit today

Then America ruined the world!

When people pulled together, I was born 6 years after the war but as a youngster the spirit lived on.

I was born in 1951 and i don't remember times being hard at all. Far from it. My father wasn't rich at all. He was a travelling salesman. He didn't drink, smoke, gamble or waste money on anything else. Because of that, we went on two holidays per year, him and mum each had a car and they paid off the house by 1965. We ate well and didn't waste money on silly things. Consequently, my memories are of perpetual good times, been fields, friendly fingers round the table, drives into the country, as a child. My sister and i both had music lessons, we dressed well and ate well. We hardly ever went out for dinner - that was considered profligate. I had scholarships and went to grammar schools and my sister went to less expensive private schools. That was the thing in those days, if you worked hard and didn't waste money on stupid things, you could live well - but not in luxury. That's why I and my sister now own our homes and so do both of our sons. The "no waste gene, hard workgene" has been passed on. The 50s/60s were the best time in England's history. Safe, genteel, polite, friendly, fair and ANYONE could make it, if he worked, saved and behaved like a decent human being. People are behaving like wild animals nowadays (2024) - but then again, current politicians completely promote waste, profligacy, hedonism and unrestrained stupidity.

I grew up in 50s didn't have it so good we were poor had little food hungry days, but we had love.

When a country went into independence, why did the British hoorays even show up. Stay home, you're not welcome anymore. Bugger off.

Very nice vid . Thanks

I was born in 1957 and there was no way we could afford the stuff on these adverts let alone a TV.

BORN IN BRUM IN 1941, MY MOTHER SAID THERE WAS A AIR RAID CIREN ALERT, BUT THE PLANES PASSED OVERHEAD ,ONTO ANOTHER TOWN, WE LIVED NEAR A SPITFIRE FACTORY AT CASTLE BROMWHICH, I REMEMBER 3 OF THEM ROARING OVER HEAD, WHEN I WAS IN MY PUSHCHAIR IN THE GARDEN, ABOUT 1944.

It seemed the less we had the happier we were in way .

Our school took us on a Coach Trip to see the Magnificent Festival of Britain, Star of the Show for me was John Cobbs Car. in the 50s we had every thing , I’m 87 now and see it’s all thrown away by University Politicians who have never had a Job or done a days work.
