The peaceful harmony of a mono culture with the same principles overall and an understanding of right and wrong , care for neighbours and the way you conducted yourself Now let’s look at today
Life was much more simple then, or it seemed to be. These were my teenage years and life did seem to be fun, no mobile phones, no internet, no laptops etc.........can the younger people of today even picture what that would have been like??? Great Bob
I was born in '64 and its true, while there wasn't much money, life was simpler and even my working-class parents could just about, to afford to be able to each have a night out once a week with their friends, take me to the pictures every week, buy me sweeties and Corgi Toy nearly every week, pay the council rent and the household Bills without too much stress and have a full pantry! Oh, and I grew up mostly on a rough South Wales Council estate with a multi-ethnic community of friends and neighbours with no problems at all.
@@paulief3817 I think life today is exponentially more stressful and has been deliberately designed to be so. If you re-read my post, you see I mention that my working-class parents were able to lead a decent quality of life, despite the fact they were not rich and did not have high-paying jobs. How many in the UK today, can honestly say they are leading a high-quality lifestyle...damned few.
I was born in the early sixties and look back very fondly at this time, loved the 70's as well. Life felt more simple, less rushed, there was less information which one might say was not a great thing but probably made one less cautious, nervous or angst about life. Having said that, it's easy to look back with rose tinted glasses. There were mostly the same problems, whether in relationships, money, governments, poverty, public services etc etc. Still, if I could go back and live one week again back then, I would jump at it, even if it was just to gawp at those amazing cars! I recognised pretty much every one of them.
Well said, I do agree especially about the glut of information and mis-information readily available today and the implications of it with regards to anguish, nervousness, fear of life. I thinks its a major contribution to the decline of mental well being in a lot of people

@@leehighland5435Yes, this is really important. It alone wasn’t enough to destroy society but I definitely helped. What’s been happening since 2020 would have been impossible without first luring people away from contact with the divine. This process took decades and was wholly intentional. It continues to this day. Christianity is almost regarded as conspiracy theory and mentioning that you literally believe in God is treated with suspicion if not incredulity and sometimes anger. We must align our hearts, minds and bodies to the light of truth.
Sadly the likes of us are in a minority now . Coming from Leicester and born in 1950's I saw how a loverly city was being ruined year on year . Now apart from us being in a minority, there are those who have been turned or groomed to think my generation have a based or even racist view of life.
@@timporter9192 speaking as someone nearly 60 whom grew up on a council estate in South Wales through the 60s and 70s...frankly, I'm afraid the majority of people from that time whom we see complaining on here, ARE racist and xenophobic. Nothing to do with 'Training' or 'Grooming'. Look at your own words Tim : "WE are in a minority now" Your 'We" raises the question, who are 'Those...people'? Blaming Immigration for the decline of our cities is wonderful for the politicians you voted for, because it absolves them of responsibility. Why Has your Council Cut and Cut and Cut Everything..? Where did the money go? Oh, that's right: Westminster. Oh? Do you have figures to back that up because the last time I checked, the UK was still something like 75% White Anglo-Saxon The UK has been systematically Looted by the Tories for at least 40 years and people keep voting for them so, really, if you did vote Tory, you have no right to complain about the decline of your town or city: what did you expect when you vote for Looters?. Don't kick Down, Look Up and vote for better leaders.

I always find it hilarious when the tv tells us Britain has always been multicultural & built by everyone else but the British yet when i watch videos from just a few years ago it's rather a different tale.......................
I grew up on a council estate in salford, the people were all white, the food was grim, there was none of the diversity that my daughter grew up with and was nurtured by - the country is better now
Also, as Germany and others' were building fancy factories to make modern goods for export, UK was spending billions on weapons, planes, ships, tanks, nuclear stuff, etc to protect Europeans from the Russian. UK

I lived in Scarborough when I was a very small child, 1976-78. I remember the naval battle in Peasholme Park! And the oriental buildings there. Loved it.
The re-enactment of the Battle of the River Plate, Brilliant it was.The Graf Spee. RN at there finest.! Now our Navy could fit on Peaseholm Park Lake !
Born in 61 and I love and cherish my memories and pine for those simply happy days when as kids we knew right from wrong! parents, particularly dad's who gave you a clip if out of line! manners were normal and we didn't have millions of ilegals pouring in and people worked didn't claim illness for fake back pain and never worked like some of my neighbours!all big families who had little but most of us love of 2 parents! Late Seventies society began to change then 80's 90' where craziness started and where our once proud country started to deteriorate and to this day the the madness the chaos!

@@ravingiron9356 You can't compare the daytime at the seaside, the New Forest, Slimbridge etc, to London in the evening. All this stuff is still there to be enjoyed.
I was born during the great freeze of 1963 in Clacton in a nursing home a few streets away from the station. Lived there until I was twenty one then left after I got married. Life was amazingly different to nowadays. If anyone out there has a Time Machine do you have room for one more ? I would go back in a heartbeat. Modern technology is killing family life & marriages not to mention real social interaction. Yes, I’m watching UA-cam but only very selectively & not often, usually to watch channels such as this one that offer a glimpse of the past where I truly wish I could be.

@@BarryHeavendon't forget the colonies. The list of ships and crew lost in the wars on the waterfront plaques in Liverpool makes for very interesting reading.
loved all those memories , we went every year in the seventies , sad the end bit looking back , i fed a fish to one of those dolphins , , that tiny decrepid pool with such beutiful creatures , , i visited the places of my childhood and walked around the abandonned fun fair area on top of the hill , the place of dinosaurs and volcanos all gone , this was some years ago , the walls with the childhood chinese theme , it was creepy but intersting ,then i saw where the dolphins lived , that was very cruel , im glad thats gone now , the sea life centre is probably the modern equivalent , and im glad things like that have progressed ,
Me and my pal used to go to Peaseholme park for the naval battles. Our favourite was the Battle of the River Plate. With Spitfires on wires, here comes the royal air force. All two of them. Brilliant.
@@robertkeddie of course but they used the same boats, we used to love it at the end when the chaps in the boats popped their heads up and climbed out to wade to the bank dragging the boats behind them. Glad to hear it's still going strong.

England was screwed in 1650 when the Bank of England was formed by the Rothies to enslave the white people. They cut the head off your Christian King, and put a Rothie backed Cromwell in there. He let in the J***s and bye bye white men. Same in the uSA, it just took a few years longer. Now they run everything. Your Royal Family are disguised J**s.
Exactly, him & Labour started it, to all you people who ask where it went wrong, Blair & Labour is the answer, in fact, the Labour of today still want it.
Scarborough ....been on the boating lake, seen the large ships doing battles too, went most bank holiday weekends during the Summer on my Lambretta. Fabulous !.....and is that my blue Anglia in Morecambe ?? 😁👍🏼
I live in Lancaster, nearby to Morecambe. From 1962 to 1969, I was a baby, a toddler, and a young child! Assuming the film isn't before June 1962, I wonder what I was doing when it was shot?
The 60s in Scarborough was fantastic 2 brilliant clubs saw so many great bands , Geno , Spencer Davis , Showstoppers , Free , Fleetwood Mac , even Robert Palmer lived there and played in the local band The Mandrakes , time of scooters and Mods , brilliant
Yes it was a brilliant time for music, Jimi Hendrix at the Theatre Royal in Nottingham!! I was a rocker so Mods weren't my favourite, but there were some at the place I worked and they seemed fairly normal. 😊
Can't recall its name, but there was a club on (I think) Huntriss Row where my band played a couple of times. Always enjoyed visits to Scarborough for any reason. 😊
@@susanyork5089 Ah, thanks. The names of those clubs don't ring a bell but you're right about the street so I reckon it must have been one of them. We played at so many clubs that they're all a blur now, though its funny what things I remember, like the name of a girl I met there and what she was wearing. (Early 70's, "altered state of consciousness" etc 😉 )
@@Astucious exactly. We didn't get million pound hats but we're expected to applaud and kow tow them that did. And they still have them. No austerity for that lot.
Even though I didn't exist back then, I can still see it's better than the England we have now, and almost no eastern European immigrants in sight. When England was England.
We had less ‘stuff’ back then, much less choice, but we were better off for it. Life was simpler and we experienced it for real, in person, not through a screen. We had fewer ‘treats’, but we appreciated them far more when we got them. Christmas didn’t start in October, you couldn’t buy Crème Eggs all year round. We couldn’t watch movies at home unless the BBC showed one, we read books, you had to actually go to the match to see your team play. Cars broke down regularly, but your mate knew how to fix it. Communities were stronger and people were less selfish. You could buy a house on an average salary. Entertainers had real talent, they weren’t famous for nothing. The Beatles and the moon landings took our breath away and made everything seem possible. I’d go back there tomorrow.
The four Yorkshire men had nothing on you mate 😂 when I were a lad we lived in shoebox in middle of road, we got up 4 hours before we went to bed, did a 26 hour day for tuppence a lifetime, have a cup full of hot gravel, and at night our dad would beat us and dance about on our graves. But tell the youth of today that, and they'd never believe you!
Cheer up, people! It's nice to be nostalgic about old times, but modern life has its merits. I remember the sixties - a coal fire in every hearth, a cigarette in every right hand, leaded petrol in every car (maybe not seat belts). Some of us are lucky we're still around to be waxing lyrical about how wonderful these days were.
yet our grandparents lived longer than we are doing, my grandad made it to 103 and was a smoker, nan was 94 and made her own cream and butter on the farm and laughted at the thought of vegetarians, coal fires never hurt them. its the chemicals in the fake food we eat today thats killing us not petrol
The cottage where I had my honeymoon is now under the M25.Where I played as a child is a housing estate , the place where I worked an industrial estate and my school a car park soon to be houses.
I recognise those views of Scarborough, taken from the headland on the North Bay side of the castle. The last time I was up there on the hill was the day when the 2012 olympic flame came to Scarborough: I watched the procession travelling from the Peasholm Park end towards the foreground, then legged it over the hill and down onto the shore road of South Bay in time to see it come round the corner. Peasholm Park still looks very much the same, and they still have the mock naval battles in the lake: there's an entry fee, but nothing to stop people standing on the roadside and getting a grandstand view from Peasholm Drive just outside the fence ;-) The image quality is remarkably good - is it 16 mm rather than Standard/Super 8?
It's standard 8mm, but converted from 16 frames per second to 30 fps using AI software. It was also stabilised and colour graded in the video editor. And I spent a couple of weeks erasing dirt and scratches one frame at a time.
Makes you want to weep when you see what we had and what we've lost .

what do you think we've lost? those places are still there , it's just that we're not young anymore

This process took decades and was wholly intentional. It continues to this day. Christianity is almost regarded as conspiracy theory and mentioning that you literally believe in God is treated with suspicion if not incredulity and sometimes anger. We must align our hearts, minds and bodies to the light of truth.

Sadly the likes of us are in a minority now . Coming from Leicester and born in 1950's I saw how a loverly city was being ruined year on year . Now apart from us being in a minority, there are those who have been turned or groomed to think my generation have a based or even racist view of life.
@@timporter9192 speaking as someone nearly 60 whom grew up on a council estate in South Wales through the 60s and 70s...frankly, I'm afraid the majority of people from that time whom we see complaining on here, ARE racist and xenophobic. Nothing to do with 'Training' or 'Grooming'.
Look at your own words Tim : "WE are in a minority now"
Your 'We" raises the question, who are 'Those...people'?
Blaming Immigration for the decline of our cities is wonderful for the politicians you voted for, because it absolves them of responsibility. Why Has your Council Cut and Cut and Cut Everything..? Where did the money go? Oh, that's right: Westminster.
Oh? Do you have figures to back that up because the last time I checked, the UK was still something like 75% White Anglo-Saxon
The UK has been systematically Looted by the Tories for at least 40 years and people keep voting for them so, really, if you did vote Tory, you have no right to complain about the decline of your town or city: what did you expect when you vote for Looters?.

This is why I like to watch the old black and white films. I can then remember the Britain i grew up in.
As Mary Hopkins used to sing those were the days my friend.
I was born during the great freeze of 1963 in Clacton in a nursing home a few streets away from the station. Lived there until I was twenty one then left after I got married. Life was amazingly different to nowadays. If anyone out there has a Time Machine do you have room for one more ? I would go back in a heartbeat. Modern technology is killing family life & marriages not to mention real social interaction. Yes, I’m watching UA-cam but only very selectively & not often, usually to watch channels such as this one that offer a glimpse of the past where I truly wish I could be.
Great comment 👏🏻 I share your sentiment.
I remember these wonderful days. We often went to Slimbridge and the New Forest when we were kids. Trips to the seaside were so special. How different our soicety was back then. I miss it so much.

Before England was ruined by the traitor Blair.
England was screwed in 1650 when the Bank of England was formed by the Rothies to enslave the white people. They cut the head off your Christian King, and put a Rothie backed Cromwell in there. He let in the J***s and bye bye white men. Same in the uSA, it just took a few years longer. Now they run everything. Your Royal Family are disguised J**s.
Exactly. Evil man.
Exactly, him & Labour started it, to all you people who ask where it went wrong, Blair & Labour is the answer, in fact, the Labour of today still want it.
So true.

Scarborough. I remember it well and Peasholm park on the lake in a canoe with Dad. Those were the days.
When England was a Country we could still call our own ,and be proud of.
Scarborough ....been on the boating lake, seen the large ships doing battles too, went most bank holiday weekends during the Summer on my Lambretta. Fabulous !.....and is that my blue Anglia in Morecambe ?? 😁👍🏼
I thought it was my grandparents' blue Anglia, but you could be right...
Love the music
I live in Lancaster, nearby to Morecambe. From 1962 to 1969, I was a baby, a toddler, and a young child! Assuming the film isn't before June 1962, I wonder what I was doing when it was shot?
This should be in a museum quick.....how it used to be....

Yes it was a brilliant time for music, Jimi Hendrix at the Theatre Royal in Nottingham!! I was a rocker so Mods weren't my favourite, but there were some at the place I worked and they seemed fairly normal. 😊

Even though I didn't exist back then, I can still see it's better than the England we have now, and almost no eastern European immigrants in sight. When England was England.
We had less ‘stuff’ back then, much less choice, but we were better off for it. Life was simpler and we experienced it for real, in person, not through a screen. We had fewer ‘treats’, but we appreciated them far more when we got them. Christmas didn’t start in October, you couldn’t buy Crème Eggs all year round. We couldn’t watch movies at home unless the BBC showed one, we read books, you had to actually go to the match to see your team play. Cars broke down regularly, but your mate knew how to fix it. Communities were stronger and people were less selfish. You could buy a house on an average salary. Entertainers had real talent, they weren’t famous for nothing. The Beatles and the moon landings took our breath away and made everything seem possible. I’d go back there tomorrow.
The four Yorkshire men had nothing on you mate 😂 when I were a lad we lived in shoebox in middle of road, we got up 4 hours before we went to bed, did a 26 hour day for tuppence a lifetime, have a cup full of hot gravel, and at night our dad would beat us and dance about on our graves. But tell the youth of today that, and they'd never believe you!

I recognise those views of Scarborough, taken from the headland on the North Bay side of the castle. The last time I was up there on the hill was the day when the 2012 olympic flame came to Scarborough: I watched the procession travelling from the Peasholm Park end towards the foreground, then legged it over the hill and down onto the shore road of South Bay in time to see it come round the corner. Peasholm Park still looks very much the same, and they still have the mock naval battles in the lake: there's an entry fee, but nothing to stop people standing on the roadside and getting a grandstand view from Peasholm Drive just outside the fence ;-)
