I can tell you first hand, it was bloody wonderful. Normal ideology, normal mental states, gorgeous girls, people actually talking and hanging out with real people instead of a fake life online, brilliant music, work available everywhere, good pay, cheap prices, and pretty much everything else. best decade ever....
I will agree to most what you said excep , good pay, cheap prices , I can remember the struggle back then having to rent a TV etc as we couldn't afford to buy , and the Gas and electric coin meters to try keep warm and lights on .
I left school in 1971. I would love to go back and live through the 70s again. Great pubs, music, fashion, festivals, parties, cars, art, books, humour, radio, tv..... It's all gone to shit now. Britain was a very different place back then and much nicer.
@@resnonverba137 The 80s were okay too, I think people probably had a bit more money in their pockets by then and it was probably easier to get mortgages and buy your own house. It was the era of the yuppies, not sure that was a particularly good thing though. More kids were able to go to University and there were more opportunities for the young, probably more so if you were not working class. Successive governments have neglected working class areas and the need to invest in everyone in a country rather than just certain sections.
@@amandaduggan9051 You seem to forget that the '70s were the decade of strikes, power cuts and general doom and gloom. Things changed in 1979 and the following decade gave people opportunities, pride and disposable income. The only ones that didn't benefit were those that rejected positive and necessary change.
@@resnonverba137 You forgot the three day week, and fuel shortages. I lived through the swinging 60s and rocking 70s and we had a blast. During the power cuts we got up and went to bed by candlelight, walked several miles to work during the fuel shortages but generally made the best of it. My experience of the 70s was far from doom and gloom. Perhaps it depended on where people lived.
Driving around in a mk2 Cortina, (when driving was fun and cars had character) listening to Capital 194, (when it was worth listening to), on the radio cassette, with a gorgeous, all natural girl, who dressed to show off her figure, not her tatoo's.

A darn sight better than it is now, you were left alone to get on with your life and vehicle ownership wasn't demonised .I'm 60 now and do you know what, I wish I was 70, I fuc*in hate this country now.
You lot started the spoiling process back in the 1960s and 70s mate. Deindustrialisation, strike action, crap social hi-rise housing estates, never fought a war like your fathers and grandfathers generation, and oh yes immigration!

Left school 1970 at 15 years old, started 5 year apprenticeship with Ford Main Dealer, passed motorbike test Feb 71, car test 72, and class 1 HGV in 1976, great times, best years of my life, great music, beautiful girls and had really good mates
1976 the British summer melted parts of the asphalt around the UK. I remember this well as a pre-teen since my sneakers had it's soles melted on such surface. What an extraordinary year, tough for the adults holding down jobs and the unemployed, awesome times for school kids who thought life was bliss. I'll take old Britain in a heartbeat over the utter garbage our landscape has morphed into and inheriting 3rd world problems everywhere.

A teenager in the 1970's. What a brilliant era. None of the woke garbage we have now. Kids knew who and what they were, no weekly demonstration in our capital, roads fit to drive on, no daily violence in London, safe to walk down the street at night. The feeling that things were getting better, people full of optimism about the future. TV you could actually have a laugh at.🙄
National Front marches, 3 day week, rubbish piling up on the streets, everyone on strike, football violence. Nostalgia is always rosy but not always true. There were some great things but also it was a time of great change, and change is always painful. You can see from the pics of London how dirty all the buildings were from years of soot, Trafalgar Square was disgusting especially with all the pigeons.
@@culloden1745 now London is like a 3rd world country, weekly pro terrorist protests, violent crime getting worse (3 fatal stabbings in 10 days), violent foreign gangs, drugs, and still there are pidgeons 🤣
people actually speaking to each other and not shouting down a phone....problem's...yes, but the way of life was so much peaceful in many ways...probably because we didnt have 24hr news telling us about the world's problems!!
Oh yes for me it was the best time of my life , and still Love London , spent a lot of time in the West end and night club , and worked in Oxford st , what a wonder full time that was . a big thanks to London Power for the great up load :)

So refreshing to read positive comments on the 70's. I am always saying the 70's were the best decade. Life was fun and so much simpler. Nothing works today, then you could ring a company and speak to someone, these days it is usually a robot or you have to wait 45 mins then get cut off, or do these silly caption things before someone will speak to you. As someone else put it the country today is finished shame. Bring back the 70's oh I wish we could. Music was the best, loved the flared jeans not like some today that are like leggings. I could go on.
I remember it well. it did not rain for weeks and there were water shortages when the reservoirs started to dry up. The tarmac was sticky, the grass brown, it was bloody hot!

Greatest decade never to be repeated. The Kinks, 10cc, Dr Feelgood. Still play beaten up scratched LP's to this day. As a very young teen had not a care in the world. But my dads Hillman Imp would only do a few miles before refusing to move another inch.
Loved it back then and wonderful to see many of the pics, would I want to go back to then ? definitely not but glad I lived through all that music, TV, concerts, etc. Was a pretty amazing decade. Thanks for reminding me of the first appearances of things like video recorders, walkmans etc
Loved it. Left school in 1970 at 15. There was work and we had fun. OK I'll admit I was involved on the football terraces (Man United) but we had mates and freedom, most jobs were Mon-Fri, so weekends were ours. Wouldn't like to be a kid today.
I heard them though making a lot of noise at the Hope & Anchor a couple of years later, before they upset my Mum using the F-word on the evening TV, not very impressive though, but then who needs musical talent to make a career in music? 😆 🤣 😂
We didn’t realise it at the time , but we had great music fashion , clubs. When people spent time getting ready to go out , girls not tattooed like sailors no rings through noses or lips. Take me back.💯👍😜
Nostalgia is a wonderful thing eh. 70s Britain was a shithole. I remember rubbish piled up on the streets, terrible pubs and food and random acts of violence. Its just a different type of awful now.
Strikes, rubbish piling up, strikes, labour government, power cuts, misery, every smelt of cabbage, more strikes........as bad as it was it was better than how it is today. Because it was our England..
I was a kid in the 70's and loved it, but your right it was a shithole, rubbish all over the place riots and bombings. I remember the older generation complaining about the youths and how it wasn't like that in their days when people had respect. Just like most of these commenters are now they're the that older generation 😂
we had it all a kid in the 70s best fun best music, tv and films and summer holidays lasting forever going on adventures going home only for dinner out on the choppers. playing marbles on drain covers. i showed kids in a school i teach at now about playing marbles with cats eyes and buzzers they love it
More British kids were into Northern Soul than Disco! That's why Wigan Casino was voted the "The Nightclub in the world!" It beat Studio 54 in New York into 2nd place
I remember the milk machines, but we Never used cents, they were 6d or 9d per carton. Never seemed to have that much money (£££), but it went a lot further.
Many a memory revived, both happy and miserable, blackouts, three day working weeks and Green Goddesses during the Fire Brigade strike, the worst memories.
Never see that kind of London again. Especially the 60s,❤ where female Copper had to patrol with a male and they wore skirts. Where a Copper could Patrol alone at nights on foot. At the jubilee I was waiting in St Paula garden for the walk about, I have pictures ❤️
Born in Cirencester 1960 so I'd have been 10 in the 70s had some nice times and some not so nice times . Speed up to 2024 now 63 were have all those bloody years gone . Still a big kid at heart though 🎮🎮
Was there for Queen’s silver Jubilee in 1977 and still have the school photo from that year with that message on the frame. Also was there for the ‘82 royal wedding. Also remember getting the evil knival toy for my birthday from Argos catalog store in Croydon
High streets with independent shops and markets where you could buy just about everything. No cyclist on the pavement and no grown ups on scooters and no mobile phone zombies. You didn't need to get a mortgage to buy a pint of beer. Less cc cameras watching your every move and you still make a joke without people getting triggered.. 😂
Back then we had none of the modern day "luxuries" such as computers,mobile phones and broadband which you cant deny have become an asset to your everyday life . However what we did have instead was far more freedom, none of this ridiculous wokeism, allowed to not only have an opinion but were able to voice it, far less division than we have today but above all else for me we were all allowed to have a sense of humour.
I made the Evil Kanievel toy at IDEAL TOYS in Wokingham, went from 50p pocket money a week to £42 during school holidays 1977. Used some cash to see THE STRANGLERS in Bracknell
I’d bring them days in a heartbeat when Britain was a great country we could recognise but that can no longer be said it’s totally lost as the song goes you don’t know what you’ve got till it’s gone 😏
I was posted to Germany. In 1976 it was hot on exercise. The standing joke was that the only thing West Germany exported to East Germany was forest fires. A friend was almost burned by one, when he was out with his camera kit, which was completely destroyed.
That's exactly what I thought. She was the reason why I clicked on the video. I wanted to see more of that divine chest, which was for me the most recognisable part of the 1970s!
Standing on west croydon Station looking at men wearing grey pin striped trousers, bowler hats , black jackets, mohair coats umbrella folded newspaper and brown breif case waiting for the train to the city nostalgic days,😂

Born in Cirencester 1960 so I'd have been 10 in the 70s had some nice times and some not so nice times . Speed up to 2024 now 63 were have all those bloody years gone . Still a big kid at heart though 🎮🎮
Was there for Queen’s silver Jubilee in 1977 and still have the school photo from that year with that message on the frame. Also was there for the ‘82 royal wedding. Also remember getting the evil knival toy for my birthday from Argos catalog store in Croydon
Better being 20 in the 70's than 70 in the 20's for sure!
Well before my time hey.. but I wish I could go back to this time.. see it.. live in it hey!!
The odd pic was not of England, particularly when they show a price in cents.
Where can you buy something in the UK for 35 cents!....🇬🇧
High streets with independent shops and markets where you could buy just about everything. No cyclist on the pavement and no grown ups on scooters and no mobile phone zombies. You didn't need to get a mortgage to buy a pint of beer. Less cc cameras watching your every move and you still make a joke without people getting triggered.. 😂
1:12 The New York Dolls !!!
Great band. Love the 70s music. We still have all our LPs.
I remember those Candy machines…..not.
what part of Great Britain did they have vending machine's that dispensed milk for 35 cents, not even our currency.
The thumbnail held a good few pints ....
Great times 60s and 70 s
Fantastic great times
70's and 80's were much better times in the UK.
And thats why things have drastically gone wrong and that's why we are in this situation we are living in today unfortunately!
It’s because of today’s with all this human rights, political corroectivnes and woke culture bollox that we are where we are.
I was a milkman in the 70’s in Britain! Milk was 10p a pint, Gold Top was 11p. Where’s the lady in the click bait then?!!
When did Britain start having homogenized milk? And when did they phase out milkmen?
20 pence for 20 fags and 18 pence for a pint of bitter. You could go out Friday AND Saturday night with just a fiver.
Omg memories floodingg back😂
Back then we had none of the modern day "luxuries" such as computers,mobile phones and broadband which you cant deny have become an asset to your everyday life .
However what we did have instead was far more freedom, none of this ridiculous wokeism, allowed to not only have an opinion but were able to voice it, far less division than we have today but above all else for me we were all allowed to have a sense of humour.
I had the Evel Kanievel toy. There`s a lot of 80s stuff in this vid too.
I made the Evil Kanievel toy at IDEAL TOYS in Wokingham, went from 50p pocket money a week to £42 during school holidays 1977. Used some cash to see THE STRANGLERS in Bracknell
I’d bring them days in a heartbeat when Britain was a great country we could recognise but that can no longer be said it’s totally lost as the song goes you don’t know what you’ve got till it’s gone 😏
Pan's People, then Ruby Flipper (briefly) and then Legs & Co. PP were the best imo.
No wonder we are where we are today!
funnyfunny missed all this I went an lived and worked on the orkney isles, far away from this 70s
I was posted to Germany. In 1976 it was hot on exercise. The standing joke was that the only thing West Germany exported to East Germany was forest fires. A friend was almost burned by one, when he was out with his camera kit, which was completely destroyed.
That is Linda Bellingham on the front but she wasn’t in the actual footage?
That's exactly what I thought. She was the reason why I clicked on the video. I wanted to see more of that divine chest, which was for me the most recognisable part of the 1970s!
Standing on west croydon Station looking at men wearing grey pin striped trousers, bowler hats , black jackets, mohair coats umbrella folded newspaper and brown breif case waiting for the train to the city nostalgic days,😂
It wasn’t all great but I can remember a hell of a lot more positives than negatives.
i think we`re gonna get the point!
Those vending machines at 0:35 are not from Great Britain ... and we don't use 'cents'.
Where was the thumbnail?
Clickbait.
Ohhhh thankyou for the shoutout
No tattoos on lovely girls ,
Yes, girls were girls back then. Oh those lovely girls! You just don't know what you're looking at these days.
i remember my mum making me hotpants i was around 10 yrs old they were great velvet brown and yellow little flowers and my sister i was into Slade the band //great times when life was busy fun and there were people in the streets shopping /meeting in wimpy for hamburgers etc //this world in 2024 seems to me dull for youngsters as they get to much to soon etc//great time to be young really and we had snow for Christmas as well which was magical for me ////
Look at Charlies Angels late 70's, most went braless.
I always shopped at Safeways.
a fine obsevation
My mother used to shop at Leo's or Fine fair and Woolworth's..@@flybobbie1449
