    there's loads of facets to what makes a geordie a geordie: geography; history; topography of the town. for me, the older i've got, it's the shape of the town. the little dips and valleys where long lost streams once provided the facility for a small towns commerce to build it into an impressive city. it's not the biggest in the world, but it's packed with a timeless and priceless amount of treasures. i 🖤 newcastle.

No phones, people interacting with each other........ Aye, they reckon the World has progressed. I reckon different. Wey, I'd climb a mountain for a canny bag o' Tudor!

      I was a teenager in the mid to late 80’s in Newcastle, so obviously this is hugely nostalgic for me, but I always think it’s important to remember things as they were, not just nostalgia goggles; the 80’s were a tough time man, mass unemployment, very violent, racist homophobic and sexist attitudes absolutely mainstream and acceptable. My crowd, our generation and outlook felt in direct opposition to all that, it was great to go forward and see those attitudes change by the late 90’s. Mind you, fuck me, we’re going backwards once again. Couldn’t agree more on mobiles like lol

      @@richardfarrell2051 you're absolutely right. So many people on here seem to have developed a kind of dementia - they think just because they were young in that time then everything was amazing. It wasn't. As your rightly point out, society in those days was pretty nasty. Authoritarian and bigoted with a huge intolerance for anyone who was even very slightly "different" to the local norm. It wasn't too far off from locals with pitch forks.

    • @zeddeka
      @zeddeka 5 років тому +2

      If you could go back to that time, I can assure you that you'd be fairly shocked by how openly nasty and intolerant so many of the people were, and the high levels of unemployment and run down state of the city. Just because you're looking back doesn't mean that times were better - in many ways they were a hell of a lot worse. It's more likely that you were young, and when you're young you don't have much of a clue about the problems around you. It doesn't mean that the times when you were young were better. It just means that you were living a very sheltered, naive life that we do when we are younger.

      Think you're looking at the 80s through rose tinted spectacles there. It was a period of huge unemployment, and I remember society being incredibly nasty in a way that it isn't now. Racist, homophobic, sexist talk was the absolute norm in the 80s, with a level of violence that you just don't see now. There was a huge intolerance for anyone who was even just slightly "different" in any way to the local norm. Amazing how people get selective memories as they get older.

People were aggressive and prejudiced in a much stronger way then than they are now. Let's also not forget that the city was scruffy and run down compared to what it is now, and the region suffered from massive unemployment. The 80s were not a happier time at all. People were not happier. All that has happened is the same as happens with every generation. They imagine the time of their youth was better simply because they didn't have to deal with adult pressures and ageing then.
