Enjoy ! And there's more...... Edited June 20, 2016 by Daven Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
*_ash_* Â Â 88 #2 Posted June 20, 2016 I don't think it's changed that much on those clips. Some bits are obviously a bit more tarted up today though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

PeterR   10 #5 Posted July 16, 2017 (edited) I worked in the eggbox from 1977 to 1987. Wonder if I was at my desk at the time of the first clip on post number 1, through those windows facing Surrey Street just before the old Town Hall building. Wish I could pop in and see  Peter.

mad-dad   29 #6 Posted July 16, 2017 Obvious thing I noticed ..... not a lardy in sight in the first video, and none in the 'then' part of the you tube one. Hence, there was more room back then. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

mad-dad   29 #8 Posted July 16, 2017 Hmm... er, I have to confess my ignorance... what's a "lardy"? Grossly overweight person usually with several kids on tow and in groups of two or more. Noticeably very scarce back then. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

TORONTONY Â Â 10 #10 Posted July 16, 2017 Grossly overweight person usually with several kids on tow and in groups of two or more. Noticeably very scarce back then. Â Well I left in 1981 and there were no Macdonalds or Burger Kings in England then. Maybe that explains the 'lardys', obesity is bloody epidemic in North America, and everyone blames the fast food chains. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

TORONTONY Â Â 10 #12 Posted July 17, 2017 Well, you know what they say, everything that happens in America comes to Britain and Europe a few years later... Â That is very true, I see the Amercanization every time I come over to England. It is a lot different than when I left. There was no interest in ice hockey or American football when I left, and I had never heard of Macdonald.s until I landed in Canada. I also hear people talk about popcorn at the cinema. it was ice cream before I left. Popcorn is a staple of North American movie going and a reason I rarely go, as I can't stand the stink lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
