I remember the winter of 62/63. Walking to school in 10 foot snowdrifts with no shoes on, having to break the ice on the outside toilets and if we were a minute late we would be flogged to within an inch of our lives. But were we unhappy? Too right we were.
You can't have your pudding if you don't eat your meat. How can you have any pudding if you don't eat your meat? 😊
A more optimistic time, and so much innovation in technology, culture and ideas.
Remember the weather...never missed a day at school either!
No. I never had a day of school. Walked in rain & snow ... AND in shorts !
I missed loads of days in the 1970s because of snow
The teachers didn't turn up lol
Love history ,,,, tx for posting
I have nothing but warm memories of 63, apart from the times when one of my sisters took the heavy overcoat from me during the cold nights.
great little report from 60 years ago.
No Beatlemania!
Winnie Wallace..... I'll always remember 1963 ...Freezing weather at the start, no proper clothing ,always feeling cold. Food if you were lucky.If these were the good old days they were lost on me ..
when Britain was, ... Britain
When exploited countries got rid of the colonial scavengers...
@@johnathandaviddunster38after we built their infrastructure and education system etc.
When political studies are produced there is little mention of the legacy of the 1955 63 Macmillan government. They built vast new towns like Milton Keynes and Kirkby where people enjoyed inside toilets and bathrooms in contrast to the old inner city properties that had neither. Gardens and cleaner air improved quality of life. The housing model of "Parker Morris£ design was a great success.
That government also built the first new comprehensive schools in the UK that had swimming pools, and academic and technical classrooms. 11- 18 school years
Hire purchase was introduced for the first time that opened up every household need being met by weekly payment to stores and shops.
Later Harold Wilson would bring in the Health and Safety Act and employment protection act that created the ACAS service and industrial Tribunal services used today. What would these good men make of the UK today ?
Then Harold Wilson and the Beatles and everything was to change. And not before time.
...and then we joined Europe, let every Tom, Dick, and Harry in, and it all went a bit wrong...
bollocks, who needs friends like that? we would'nt have to pay for an unnecessary parliament MEP's and dumb projects where the money is wasted, let alone the CAP and the carbon emission credits plus the ECB, what planet do you live on, without friends? idiot
O rosto da rainha bebendo kkkk
