  • Great!, no plays stattions, mobile phones, computer games etc, yet all the kids could still fill the day with doing things without getting board.

    No muslim fanatics, knife crime.ayslum seekers. Happy Days

  • I was born that year......

    I remember the 60's playing out in the street in all weathers, actually KNOWING the neighbours and their families.

    Notice how very few fat children there were around compared to today...activity + healthy food (albeit small amounts but at least regular meals) no snacking + activity = general good health & normal weight for height and age.

  • @LokiV You are a retard

  • The 50s,were the first golden time for Britain. I wasn't alive then but my parents were. They would really want to experience the 50s again.

  • @Poopingbotham Yes it was. Thing is London has always been a city of immigrants. Nothings changed for hundreds of years.

  • If you didnt have a bike you made 1..you saw policemen on the beat and wtf they knew you lol..need money?.paper round :P...saturday matinee...whole street got involved with bonfire night great times :)

  • @1:50 everybody hates Chris :D

  • Though never perfect the UK has been fucked by progressive PC liberalism.

    What a disaster.

    Once the upper middle classes start to feel threatened something might be done.

    Far far far far too late.

    The demographics will ensure power is transferred to the current minorities.

    Funnily enough I bet at least in his public persona Humph was as Liberal as you come.

  • brilliant video. nice one!

  • Ave a faag, play in some cholera infested burst water pipe, diphtheria smog and ricketts!! Them was the days.

  • Even in them days, London was full of filthy immigrants, if this clip is anything to go by
