Love this footage of a Liverpool that once was…Worked for Elder Dempsters and Ocean Fleets in the 70s and 80s..Shipping out of west Huskie and Canada Docks..Liverpool was always a good run ashore..Love the scousers..👌
Diana pierre it's criminal for the council and planners to have demolished those beautiful old buildings which had so much character, then replace them with ugly soul destroying monstrosities I was in Liverpool in 1970s and remember clearly those old buildings
I was there several times in the early '80s. It's so sad to see what has been done to a beautiful city. Yet I'm sure the beautiful people of Liverpool will carry on.
In the 1970s I used to go to Liverpool, every night from the West Midlands I was a wagon driver same route every night off the M6 made my way into Liverpool through Liverpool to Albert docks, over the years met some lovely people wish I could go back to those times,

Lovely, lovely city, regardless of the era. Such rich history too and many lovely trivia items. First banana ever to arrive in the UK - arrived in Liverpool! LOL
I was 17 & working in Reeces in Parker St, next door was Owen Owens, with clothes shop 'Sexy Rexys' facing, bought my first pair of bags from there, £7.50 a week I was earning, gave my mam £4 housekeeping pw, 10 Number 6 ciggies would last me 2 days, rest of the £3.50 went on lemonade, sweets & I had to save each week to buy any clothes. 😊
I remember Owen Owens and all the big department stores. I loved them. Parts of Liverpool in the 70s look like the 1930s. The housing was terrible. I worked in Runcorn (New Town) as it was called so knew many who had moved from Liverpool. They said they wouldnt go back.
This was made in the year that, as a southerner, I first visited Liverpool. Although I've been there many, many times since, this is how I remember my experience of that time. I even got to ride on the top deck of one of the City's green double-deckers. It has changed so much, even in the last 10 or 15 years, that the place is almost unrecognisable.
I'm from a small town in New Zealand. After the war many men from Liverpool came here to help build the Tasman paper mill. There is a street here now called Liverpool st. Many of them went home after the job but some did stay for good and had family's here. Half of the mill closed last week and the 3rd and last paper machine was turned off for good. It seams the world doesn't want that much paper any more.

The city of my birth and the year I was born...it’s almost unrecognisable compared to what it is now...the old bull ring has been converted into student accommodation...the flyover is no longer more. The docks are now vibrant and thriving, not the neglected run down area that we see in this footage. I notice there were not too many cars on the road in those days either. I guess with technology and modernisation things like community spirit and children playing out in the street, have all but ceased to be...all in the name of progress and change, but quite sad in lots of other aspects. No matter what though, there’s always someone to sing a song and tell a joke in this wonderful city...a city oozing talent and political awareness...a sporting prowess almost second to none...a sharp witted humour like no other in planet earth...a lot has changed in 46 years...not to mention a few grey strands!!...but lovely to remember and reminisce♥️x
Stoker Films Whats wrong with students living in the Bull Ring? Could it be that local people didn't want to live there? You contradict yourself when you say that there were few cars around, yet you bemoan the demolition of the flyovers- why were they flyovers built There? Because of CONGESTION. Before the Wallasey Tunnel was built a breakdown in the Birkenhead tunnel would cause gridlock at both ends and impede non tunnel users trying to get home. In 1973 car traffic was as bad as today,although most cars were British built. As for the docks thriving that is only at the Seaforth end of the river. There are more students than dockers nowadays. Most of the docks south of Bootle are DERELICT. Smell the scouse Stoker Films.
Paul Mason Who said anything was wrong with the bull ring?...re read before you judge. There simply were more cars in the 1970’s so to suggest otherwise is not factual.Get back in your Pram. Maybe you have a chip in your shoulder about something? Either way go take your neurosis somewhere else.x
Paul Mason You sound like a typical wokey? The kind who would find objection if somebody sneezed. My original comment was an affirmative, positive one, about Liverpool and it’s people, of which I am “proudly” one of them...read it again. The other comment underneath it happens to agree with me my recollections and the good memories associated with them. When were you born?...yesterday?...last night?...your instincts are to find fault or to be negative. Maybe that’s more a reflection on you. Say something good about these times and place or keep your unhelpful comments to yourself. Peace out.x
@@wormsnake1 You seem to have a bad name for anyone who disagrees with your rose tinted view of Liverpool 2020.. I am 15 years older than you and I remember a bustling Mersey with ships and all the docks north of the Pier Head functioning, not a duck pond with a quarter full ferryboat bobbing away.
Wasn’t expecting that Runcorn bit at the end. I’m a guy who grew up in Runcorn but I now live in Liverpool. It’s ironic now how Runcorn is a hole and Liverpool isn’t too bad in places!
Great to see, I was born in the Women’s Hospital that year and lived in Castlefields, it was lovely growing up there then. We moved back to Liverpool, years later in my first car I took a trip down memory lane and drove to Runcorn, it looked scruffy.
1- didn’t see one obese person 2-hardly any cars , easy parking 3- no mobiles (obviously) , and people actually having conversations, not addicted to their phones like today .
@wagner1va I don't know about that. The Beatles have talked about hanging out in the 50s with musicians originally from the West Indies. And there are the famous photos taken by Nick Hedges in 69-71 with a number of black families. www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/news/liverpool-news/stunning-pictures-reveal-sides-life-10859905
No women with ridiculous tattoos, no people looking obsessively at their smartphone every 5 seconds and no boy racers tearing up and down the city streets. How times change. I wish I had a time machine as I wouldn't bother coming back!! Today's society is introspective. People obsess over technology and spend more time on-line than actually meeting real people.

If you live in this great city or just visiting you need to get "Secret Liverpool, an unusual guide" by Michael Keating. It doesn't cover the usual haunts but those you may have never known about.
He bangs on about balancing cars, buses and walking. It’s a nightmare getting anywhere around Runcorn whichever way you travel. All concrete and roads to nowhere. That plan was a catastrophe
Hey, all. Remember when there were real police on the beat. Remember the time when you stepped out of line and you got a clip around the ear. You couldn't go home and tell your parents because you'd get another one. You could go up to a cop and ask them anything. You can't now they're all stuck in cars outside Mcdonalds. This was a time when you'd go down to the water front and all you could smell was fresh doughnuts being made in the old bus terminus. Ah, those were the days.
The local Bobby that gave you a clip around the ear is an URBAN MYTH. If you are talking about Liverpool Pier Head Bus Station the area STANK and was full of alcoholic down and outs who used the Pier Head as a shelter. Few of them were young though.
@@paulmason4616 Seriously, so many morons comment on these old videos of places making s**t up to fit their deluded fantasy world they made out of their childhoods. I remember growing up in Liverpool in the 80s and it was awful. Gangs of skinheads and crime everywhere, litter, vile smells, bordered up shops in a terrible economy... It was just plain boring and depressing most of the time, but hey that's me trying to remember real objective life and not just projecting rose-tinted fantasies from simply being a kid. This "everything was better when I was a kid!" BS really gets in my tits now. They think the world was better because they were young, naive and ignorant of everything, living in a childhood bubble of delusion.
@@AD-kv9kj You as a pretentious bellend will probably know that by the 80's, Liverpool was a cesspit. However, it didn't start going downhill until the 70's. Before then, it was a vibrant city. Money wasn't in abundance but people spent it on having a good time. My parents didn't have a pot to piss in but we still enjoyed ourselves. And coppers may not have given you a clip around the ear, not in my experience, but they were figures of authority and as kids, we feared them. The clips around the ear where actually far worse in the cells when a lot of people I knew were given a kicking.
Because the forgot what their mothers said: If you have nothing good to say - then say nothing at all. Plus, they are cunts - that is all there is to it.
Some great views of Garston and it’s fume belching gas works. Yes the new town concept around Liverpool was an utter disaster. Breaking up communities, it left Liverpool like a crater with everything on the periphery. It has recovered now thank goodness.

I was a 10 year old in Garston in 1973 and remember Adults talking about social engineering that was going on. I think I can see it now. The engineers separated close neighbours from streets to away from what they knew. PS how is my childhood town doing now?
Who wanted to live in Runcorn new town ,they were forced ,like previous migrations to Kirby and Hazelwood Those houses should have been renovated not knocked down it was wrench from community.
I'v never been to Liverpool(but intend to do so some day)But the "Scousers"I've encounterd in London&abroad were usually refreshingly friendly&down to earth,with a sharp sense of humour. I think having a tough upbringing usually builds character and when my parents came over from Ireland 🇮🇪(County Kerry)they could have easily have settled in this City,as opposed to London(they might have been better off)Because in London,they really were like "Fish out of water"and the locals were'nt exactly welcoming to those"Paddys"..And my folks always listened to this song(the version by the legendary"Dubliners"is one of my favourites) But at least in the 60's&70's u had that LEGEND Bill Shankley.A true one of a kind!!.I I'm always looking for vids of him,totally authentic.So as i said,the nxt time I'm back in the UK,i'll have to take a visit to"Scouserland"😏.and stay for a few days..Alright,calm down now👍
@@joeblogs4146 Thankyou.i can only be honest&speak as i find!..Ironically i just received a vid from my oldest Sister who was visiting the City this weekend(she went to see a singer called Emily Clark-she does tributes of Dusty Springfield&others)but it was somewhat brief,and she stayed at a old converted Synagogue?but she liked and enjoyed the city&said it reminded her of how London used to look(not sure that's necessarily a good thing)but i take her point.😏
It looked worse then than it does now. All I remember growing up in Liverpool in the 80s was constant skinhead gangs lurking around, crime and litter everywhere. The smells in town were disgusting, shops were often bordered up and the economy was awful.
I think that Liverpool went through a bit of a rough patch in the 80s. Thatcher wasn't keen on investing there and it got a bit run down. My dad was from Liverpool
Just as I remembered sooty buildings, buildings part way torn down...but it was fun for kids especially boys playing in those buildings....me older brother would look for coins in them under floorboards,old and new...I lived just off wavertry road on nuttal street,now gone but replaced with new houses....
I find this calm and soothing music funny because when you think of Liverpool, you think of Scousers with loud pitch voices saying "Wanna Bevvy?", "Gowin dan the ozzy", "It'z Chocka" or "Ah right Lid, gotta ciggy?". Nice music though.
Congratulations on an extremely interesting film, made all the more enjoyable with appropriate music. Is it 10 or 15 minutes of fame we are all meant to have? Well, I have had four seconds of my allocation from 1:26 to 1:30 strolling down Church Street

The year I was born, Look how clean the city centre is? Crap and rubbish everywhere now chewing gum and dog ends all over the pavements, people don’t give a damn.
I was born and bred in Speke but escaped South years ago. It's the never-ending newspaper reports that prove it was a smart move: guy shot and killed in Woolton, guy run over and killed by his own car outside John Lennon airport, Dunlop's Speke social club burnt to the ground, and kids throwing rocks at a coffin-carrying hearse. Jeez.
The day's when my dad used to sit on the bog reading the echo with the door not even closed properly (locked) the dirty b*****d me mum used to scream at him but he'd just laugh like Jim Royal "Oh! I've been working all day leave me alone will yerr can't have 10minutes peace in this bleedin house! But he'd sh*t himself when he could hear a visitor knocking on the front door you could hear the panic as what sounded like the echo getting thrown to the floor as he'd slam it to put the lock on and they were the day's when you'd have to use the echo to wipe your a*se coz you'd run out of bog roll and there was no such thing as bio degradable stuff and the only way you'd know was when you pull the chain or handle and then the water got higher and higher as you pray to god for it to stop' because you used too much paper so you had to wait a few minutes or shout your dad to unblock it with the carrier bag over his hand and forearm trick then he'd call you all the smelly so and so's in the world as he'd say to everyone whose laughing in the living room especially if the neighbour was there " Oh! It's only last night dinner leave him alone for f*ck sake! but we all laugh about it now' them days we're hard but everyone helped each other out "like the borrow out of the back of the television (if you know what I mean?) Then a fella called the tele bank man would come about every month and there was only a few 50p pence pieces in it but he'd just smirk but he'd know what had been going on he wasn't stupid although the little brother or sister would say 'we don't really use the tele in our house then they get a mouth full after he left for making it so blatantly obvious what had been happening, some people even had a brain wave (only a scousers one) with the old stiff wire trick putting into that box at the back then pulling it up and down Clicking it like mad so the machine though it was receiving silver food but it wasn't " it was getting a bit of wire with a hook on the end" i was only a kid back then and it was just another way to survive but then for some Mysterious reason the TV would come back on but went off about 12 with some dog and girl smiling at you because the TV was about to start going BEEEEEB all night no ch4 or ch5 back then just teletext' and the TV had to get turned over as we'd call it by turning a button or dial plus black and white no colour either then everyone use to phone everyone or tell anyone in the street that a TV detector van was around and to turn the television off >it didn't even exist it was just a van with a aerial on the top' we had community centers "the Como we called it" it had a disco it was somewhere to go and have a game of pool with your mates you could even bump into someone without getting stabbed and you fought with your bare hand's to sort things out because you was a 'sh*t house' if you didn't but them days have well gone because its a knife and a pit bull that's the 'must have thing ' but not everyone in today's younger generation are bad it's those who wouldn't have lasted 2 minutes during our teenage years who are the bad apples, as little kids having places you could go your mum and dads knew you was safe and having a laugh trying to look boss with your sh*t clothes on that you mum bought you along with the smell of Brute 45 that you got for your birthday or Christmas that's now long gone I think the Brute 45? you'd look back on old photos and ask your mum How could you let you go out dressed like that even though it looked alright to her,we had discos in those community centres that stopped then close about 10-10.30pm - not many around these days our local one had to be demolished after lasting over 35 years because someone set fire to it even though it was still getting used, in the past because it was a struggle some mum's mainly would go the market in town to get shoes for your dads or even yourself if you was unlucky and grab one off a pile of hundreds with a number inside and say to the man with a leather bag strapped to himself ( errrm excuse me love have you got the other one to this one please) being a kid I was like saying what's she talking about then the man would disappear under the pile and pop back up with crap looking shoes for your dad then you'd start p*ssing yourself laughing because you've seen what your dads got for his feet for the next 12months but then she'd wipe the smile off your face as she show's you the one's she got you for school when you wasn't looking then you'd insist that you wasn't going to put them on then the word's was "that's all I can afford so you wear what I give ya!" So you had to go to school with shoes on with numbers inside made with a black ink marker thank god it was only the time you was still in the infant's, It was the day's when some people would even have a Polaroid negative by the Lecky metre for some reason or something called a U bend i think it was called that had loads of tape on it "not sure what they was for though" until me dad told me to go away so as a kid you do until the sound of bzzzz"BOOM" Ahaà! Then he came into the living room the colour of boiled sh*te and that's how he learned how to do certain thing's (the hard way) some old Neighbor had one to get the weeds from between the paving flag's " you'd say > what's that but he used to say Oh! Just a bit of wire he'd had for years and smile! The ice cream man would come about 8-9 or even 10pm by ours ringing his bell because the music thing was banned after 6pm he'd not just sell ice cream but cigarette's a (lossy) I've never smoked but my old mates did but back then I think it was just to make themselves look dead hard but now half of them can hardly breath and the flock wall paper was the in thing "well in our house it was with green,Brown and yellow the colour you'd see and a carpet if you had the money with the Paisley pattern in it,even families interacted with each other not like today's world as everyone is transfixed on mobile phones as their is practically silence in the house until someone Say's something about somebody else on social media (something I don't use or bother with) it cause's more trouble than a fox in a chicken farm,OK I'm on this because the kids have took over TV so I've come upstairs because i was told about this video, Anyway that's all from me but I'd like to thank my mum+dad for bringing me into this world even though society,politics and technology is a lot different and in some cases 'taking over' (automation, human rights and crazy politicians making life a misery for many people in this brilliant city) Oh!

He come into the living room the colour of boiled sh*te and I'm not sure if he messed with metal with insulation tape on again then me mum said (You said you know how they do it!)

Evan McAuley the point I’m trying to make is that to say that this was before some “third world invasion” is nonsensical because if you’re from Liverpool and trace your family tree back far enough you’ll most likely find that one of your relatives was one of these “invaders” anyway, so such comments about a “third world in invasion” become hypocritical and moronic
It’s true. Many of Liverpool’s fine buildings were pre WW2 and Hitler together with our own councils destroyed most of those remaining, during the early postwar era. Denys Owen ( 93)
You know Fuck all. Liverpool is only second to London when it comes to Listed Buildings And the greatest number of sculptures in the United Kingdom, apart from Westminster.

You contradict yourself when you say that there were few cars around, yet you bemoan the demolition of the flyovers- why were they flyovers built There? Because of CONGESTION. Before the Wallasey Tunnel was built a breakdown in the Birkenhead tunnel would cause gridlock at both ends and impede non tunnel users trying to get home. In 1973 car traffic was as bad as today,although most cars were British built. As for the docks thriving that is only at the Seaforth end of the river. There are more students than dockers nowadays. Most of the docks south of Bootle are DERELICT. Smell the scouse Stoker Films.

Who said anything was wrong with the bull ring?...re read before you judge. There simply were more cars in the 1970’s so to suggest otherwise is not factual.Get back in your Pram. Maybe you have a chip in your shoulder about something? Either way go take your neurosis somewhere else.x

You sound like a typical wokey? The kind who would find objection if somebody sneezed. My original comment was an affirmative, positive one, about Liverpool and it’s people, of which I am “proudly” one of them...read it again. The other comment underneath it happens to agree with me my recollections and the good memories associated with them. When were you born?...yesterday?...last night?...your instincts are to find fault or to be negative. Maybe that’s more a reflection on you. Say something good about these times and place or keep your unhelpful comments to yourself. Peace out.x

Hey, all. Remember when there were real police on the beat. Remember the time when you stepped out of line and you got a clip around the ear. You couldn't go home and tell your parents because you'd get another one. You could go up to a cop and ask them anything. You can't now they're all stuck in cars outside Mcdonalds. This was a time when you'd go down to the water front and all you could smell was fresh doughnuts being made in the old bus terminus. Ah, those were the days.
The local Bobby that gave you a clip around the ear is an URBAN MYTH. If you are talking about Liverpool Pier Head Bus Station the area STANK and was full of alcoholic down and outs who used the Pier Head as a shelter. Few of them were young though.
@@paulmason4616 Seriously, so many morons comment on these old videos of places making s**t up to fit their deluded fantasy world they made out of their childhoods. I remember growing up in Liverpool in the 80s and it was awful. Gangs of skinheads and crime everywhere, litter, vile smells, bordered up shops in a terrible economy... It was just plain boring and depressing most of the time, but hey that's me trying to remember real objective life and not just projecting rose-tinted fantasies from simply being a kid.
This "everything was better when I was a kid!" BS really gets in my tits now. They think the world was better because they were young, naive and ignorant of everything, living in a childhood bubble of delusion.
@@AD-kv9kj you're growing up in a different generation to this guy by the sounds of it, don't be so quick to judge
@@AD-kv9kj You as a pretentious bellend will probably know that by the 80's, Liverpool was a cesspit. However, it didn't start going downhill until the 70's. Before then, it was a vibrant city. Money wasn't in abundance but people spent it on having a good time. My parents didn't have a pot to piss in but we still enjoyed ourselves. And coppers may not have given you a clip around the ear, not in my experience, but they were figures of authority and as kids, we feared them. The clips around the ear where actually far worse in the cells when a lot of people I knew were given a kicking.

Who wanted to live in Runcorn new town ,they were forced ,like previous migrations to Kirby and Hazelwood Those houses should have been renovated not knocked down it was wrench from community.
I'v never been to Liverpool(but intend to do so some day)But the "Scousers"I've encounterd in London&abroad were usually refreshingly friendly&down to earth,with a sharp sense of humour.
I think having a tough upbringing usually builds character and when my parents came over from Ireland 🇮🇪(County Kerry)they could have easily have settled in this City,as opposed to London(they might have been better off)Because in London,they really were like "Fish out of water"and the locals were'nt exactly welcoming to those"Paddys"..And my folks always listened to this song(the version by the legendary"Dubliners"is one of my favourites)
But at least in the 60's&70's u had that LEGEND Bill Shankley.A true one of a kind!!.I I'm always looking for vids of him,totally authentic.So as i said,the nxt time I'm back in the UK,i'll have to take a visit to"Scouserland"😏.and stay for a few days..Alright,calm down now👍

It looked worse then than it does now. All I remember growing up in Liverpool in the 80s was constant skinhead gangs lurking around, crime and litter everywhere. The smells in town were disgusting, shops were often bordered up and the economy was awful.
I think that Liverpool went through a bit of a rough patch in the 80s. Thatcher wasn't keen on investing there and it got a bit run down. My dad was from Liverpool
That's what Stoke looks like now. I was relieved to get out of there earlier this year 😂

The day's when my dad used to sit on the bog reading the echo with the door not even closed properly (locked) the dirty b*****d me mum used to scream at him but he'd just laugh like Jim Royal "Oh! I've been working all day leave me alone will yerr can't have 10minutes peace in this bleedin house!
But he'd sh*t himself when he could hear a visitor knocking on the front door you could hear the panic as what sounded like the echo getting thrown to the floor as he'd slam it to put the lock on and they were the day's when you'd have to use the echo to wipe your a*se coz you'd run out of bog roll and there was no such thing as bio degradable stuff and the only way you'd know was when you pull the chain or handle and then the water got higher and higher as you pray to god for it to stop' because you used too much paper so you had to wait a few minutes or shout your dad to unblock it with the carrier bag over his hand and forearm trick then he'd call you all the smelly so and so's in the world as he'd say to everyone whose laughing in the living room especially if the neighbour was there " Oh! It's only last night dinner leave him alone for f*ck sake! but we all laugh about it now' them days we're hard but everyone helped each other out "like the borrow out of the back of the television (if you know what I mean?) Then a fella called the tele bank man would come about every month and there was only a few 50p pence pieces in it but he'd just smirk but he'd know what had been going on he wasn't stupid although the little brother or sister would say 'we don't really use the tele in our house then they get a mouth full after he left for making it so blatantly obvious what had been happening, some people even had a brain wave (only a scousers one) with the old stiff wire trick putting into that box at the back then pulling it up and down Clicking it like mad so the machine though it was receiving silver food but it wasn't " it was getting a bit of wire with a hook on the end" i was only a kid back then and it was just another way to survive but then for some Mysterious reason the TV would come back on but went off about 12 with some dog and girl smiling at you because the TV was about to start going BEEEEEB all night no ch4 or ch5 back then just teletext' and the TV had to get turned over as we'd call it by turning a button or dial plus black and white no colour either then everyone use to phone everyone or tell anyone in the street that a TV detector van was around and to turn the television off >it didn't even exist it was just a van with a aerial on the top' we had community centers "the Como we called it" it had a disco it was somewhere to go and have a game of pool with your mates you could even bump into someone without getting stabbed and you fought with your bare hand's to sort things out because you was a 'sh*t house' if you didn't but them days have well gone because its a knife and a pit bull that's the 'must have thing ' but not everyone in today's younger generation are bad it's those who wouldn't have lasted 2 minutes during our teenage years who are the bad apples, as little kids having places you could go your mum and dads knew you was safe and having a laugh trying to look boss with your sh*t clothes on that you mum bought you along with the smell of Brute 45 that you got for your birthday or Christmas that's now long gone I think the Brute 45? you'd look back on old photos and ask your mum How could you let you go out dressed like that even though it looked alright to her,we had discos in those community centres that stopped then close about 10-10.30pm - not many around these days our local one had to be demolished after lasting over 35 years because someone set fire to it even though it was still getting used, in the past because it was a struggle some mum's mainly would go the market in town to get shoes for your dads or even yourself if you was unlucky and grab one off a pile of hundreds with a number inside and say to the man with a leather bag strapped to himself ( errrm excuse me love have you got the other one to this one please) being a kid I was like saying what's she talking about then the man would disappear under the pile and pop back up with crap looking shoes for your dad then you'd start p*ssing yourself laughing because you've seen what your dads got for his feet for the next 12months but then she'd wipe the smile off your face as she show's you the one's she got you for school when you wasn't looking then you'd insist that you wasn't going to put them on then the word's was "that's all I can afford so you wear what I give ya!" So you had to go to school with shoes on with numbers inside made with a black ink marker thank god it was only the time you was still in the infant's,
It was the day's when some people would even have a Polaroid negative by the Lecky metre for some reason or something called a U bend i think it was called that had loads of tape on it "not sure what they was for though" until me dad told me to go away so as a kid you do until the sound of bzzzz"BOOM" Ahaà! Then he came into the living room the colour of boiled sh*te and that's how he learned how to do certain thing's (the hard way) some old Neighbor had one to get the weeds from between the paving flag's " you'd say > what's that but he used to say Oh! Just a bit of wire he'd had for years and smile!
The ice cream man would come about 8-9 or even 10pm by ours ringing his bell because the music thing was banned after 6pm he'd not just sell ice cream but cigarette's a (lossy) I've never smoked but my old mates did but back then I think it was just to make themselves look dead hard but now half of them can hardly breath and the flock wall paper was the in thing "well in our house it was with green,Brown and yellow the colour you'd see and a carpet if you had the money with the Paisley pattern in it,even families interacted with each other not like today's world as everyone is transfixed on mobile phones as their is practically silence in the house until someone Say's something about somebody else on social media (something I don't use or bother with) it cause's more trouble than a fox in a chicken farm,OK I'm on this because the kids have took over TV so I've come upstairs because i was told about this video,
