That's why it's best just to remember and not to try to revisit the past . It's best to keep moving forward and accept change because nothing in this current system ever remains the same . I made the mistake years ago of revisiting my childhood home village and was so upset to see the mess it was in and the friendliness gone . I decided then never to ho back . 😢
I remember these marvellous times very well as a youngster! We were free and not a care in the world, although not perfect but much better than now!! I miss those days. Freedoms since then eroded over the years.
I remember this era so well, me and my mates skidding around on our choppers , grifters ,and strikas, so many fun times , we thought those days would never end , now we're mid 50s. Yet i can still name all the cars.😊
TIME MACHINE WANTED TO GET BACK THERE IN LESS THAN BLINK OF AN EYE , AND SEE MY MUM DAD , AND ALL MY FAMILY WHO HAVE GONE NOW WOULD THEY LISTEN TO ME I MEAN THE ONES IN POWER TO TELL THEM WHAT A MESS THEY WILL MAKE OF MY ENGLAND WOULD THEY LISTEN DONT THINK SO ANY ONE WANT A LIFT
Already could see the grim architecture and the new follow on of it, like @ 11.10 ! Can't even use the word Architecture for that rubbish! Yes, they may have been a Godsend to replace what was there previously, but I have a growing dislike of the word 'Functional'. A lot of old buildings were a bit over the top, but seems we went too far the other way in design!
That's the London i miss ..... It's why i can never go home,.... Its gone.
Thank you.

Great memories! Miss the old days 😢
I remember this country.

Thankyou, loved that, bought back so many memories. I lived in Islington and then hackney, so recognised and even went to some of those places.
Thanks Geoff, amazing film and how many great memories!
Change is only good if it is for the better.
