    Shot on the Loraine Estate and Holloway Estate, Holloway Road.
    Sign 'no ball games', washing hung up in FG. Boys ride bike around car park, boys play fighting. Scary old ladies stand on doorstep, shooing boys away, one woman shouts 'get your hair cut!' to boy, funny.
    00:03:07 Young boys (around 11/12) in matching garish floral shirts say 'it's coz we ain't got nowhere to play!... there's all the old bags up in the winder.'

      Even though I have given you the thumbs up for your comments, I was a child in the 70's and was taught to respect my Elders. If my parents heard me refer to an elderly woman as an old bag I am sure that I would have received a damn good hiding! And rightly so!

      I did not realise when i was in my teens in the late 70s how lucky i was.I lived in a community where there was respect and everyone spoke the same language.!
      The community i experienced will never return along with 80% of true traditional pubs.
      How can you have the same values in an area that has been overtaken by people of so many different countries and cultures.Britain is diversified that is for sure but in many areas it has come at a cost.

Even today my 76 year old mother who has survived a stroke and several bouts f cancer would lay me dead if I misbehaved. Did we grow up to be horrible people? No!!

    They usually build garages for the cars, with these schemes, anyway. They shouldn't just design play areas to be mass concrete where the kids have to share space with the cars. The kids need grass space to play & explore - part of growing up. The other big oversight by the council was to mix older people with younger people in flats. Older people generally live a more sedate, quieter lifestyle & should be housed separately................My Nana & Grandad - he was awarded 6 medals from WWII - were housed in flats in Mosborough, Sheffield. What a way to spend his & her final years. They wanted the kids to be able to play freely in their own space. The kids in the flat above them were running up & down & riding their bikes, inside, & their Mum's music used to belt out at night. Why did Sheffield council think it was appropriate to put a young family above 70 year-olds??

And it had a speedo fitted. It was the speedo that hooked me, I just had to have a go. Top of the dial was 40 mph and that's what I was going to hit. I got a run-up on flat road and then went bombing down a hill. Naturally, I went into a speed wobble and ended up splattered on the tarmac. The bike was a write-off.
