That's crazy, by the early 1960s almost 4 out of 5 families in Belgium had a landline. That's almost double the number as of today.

I was born in '81, the 90's was a perfect decade to grow up in. I'm so glad I grew up when I did. Just for the music alone, the UK was such an exciting, happening place back then. Still is a bit but they didn't call that era 'Cool Britannia' for nothing.

It really was

Teenager into young adult in the 90s... so glad I was. Agree its very nostalgic maybe due to age, but definitely a different time pre 2000. I'm convinced the world changed then

No sir. We were less alone before the Internet. We shared long family dinners over which we discussed our personal issues. Our teachers and doctors took time to talk to us. We were trusted to be independent, to cycle to school and arrange sleepovers with friends, whose older brothers shared our puberty challenges with us. We didn't have "stranger danger" fears, but knew how to laugh and make fun of "the dirty old guy down the street" and realised that groping uncles were a bigger threat than strangers. We all played games together, not isolated behind our PCs, so we gained social skills and developed skills in recognising threats and dangers. We were less dependent on parents, and were freer to express our individuality.

I grew up in the 60s and our family car was an Austin 10 made in 1932. It was my gran's car originally and she bought it in 1939. We kept it running until '68 and got a Ford Anglia. Worst mistake! First winter, the damn thing broke down at the top of our hill out of the village when Mum was driving Dad to work. We did have a landline because we were the village post office. The original public telephone was first installed in our house in 1935 until one of the red GPO boxes was installed at the bottom of our garden. Until then, if anyone wanted to use the phone, we would have to let them in. NOT ideal! As another commenter said, few people had landlines. In a village of roughly 150, under ten families had cars, but that increased marginally in the 60s. As the older people died off, and some younger people moved in, car ownership rocketed and landlines. I had my first computer, a Compaq, round about 2003. A dial up.

I loved the 90's. Me during my 20's, what fun. 😁

Holy crap! Nostalgia, national pride and gin are damn dangerous combination. Glad I got to experiance the 90s

"Don't cha want my looooooving? Two bad mice!" Still have this on original vinyl, along with Ragga Twins, Stacker Huminoid, SL2, etc. Love it.

This was my childhood and teen years, nostalgia probably makes me look back on it a bit too fondly. The music charts were crazy and Britain had this daring naughtiness to it, things after tended to get a little serious with a need to feel guilt and shame which has done no good. The biggest positive for today is probably technology/internet, but we weren't to know back then lol

I grew up in the 80s and I’m so glad I grew up in an era without the internet and mobile phones. I know we all rely on them now but I can’t help but think the world was better without them.

Despite All this stuff being so long ago hearing the sounds transports me back to how I felt in that era and I’m sure it was a great time to be alive in Britain but it might just be because it was the formative time of my life that makes it feel more significant

"FLASHLIGHT, MOVIE" !!?? TORCH, FILM !! Never played a " video game" in my life ! " POOL ?" !! NO...SNOOKER !! Jim Carey plays the same person in every film he's ever made ! " INERNET" !? There's another T in the word ! USE IT !!

OMG, I couldn’t believe it when you said you were born in 1994. I have watched quite a few of your videos now and I thought you were in your late teens or early twenties and a college student. You learn something new every day…

Who remembers the £1 charge for returning a vid that’s not rewound 😳

The 90s were great, the rave scene was unbelievable, when you could get proper E's. Life was so much easier back then, nobody tied to their phones, people had proper conversations. I miss those days...

The decade I grew up. Awesome time.

15 in 1990. In my small town in former industrial central Scotland, you could leave school at 16 and go on the broo ( unemployment) or stay on and go to college or uni, then be unemployed. At least that's how it seemed. At least our education was funded though. There was still some good music though and the late nineties seemed like a real time of change with devolution and, of course, breaking our long losing streak at Eurovision. 😂 I still remember the euphoria in the air when 20 years of Conservative rule was over as well.

90s Britain was so brill especially euro 96. Cba anymore with the euros oh and the music. BTW, are you 30 years old lad? You look early 20s

Thanks, Connor. Good to see you. Many of these clips weren't really reminiscent of my 90s experience. I aged 6 to 16 during this period. But it was a fun watch, nonetheless, and as always, interesting to hear your perspective on things.

Loved 90's clubbing culture. The motorways were full of clubbers heading to different clubs across the country during the weekends at night

Growing up in the 90's was awesome....the music, cartoons and generally just being a kid. We were rarely in the house apart from Saturday mornings to watch Rugrats, Darkwing Duck and The Pirates Of Dark Water etc and at mealtimes you could literally hear your Mum calling your name from about half mile away where you would either be about 3/4 the way up the highest tree you could possibly climb or playing Gladiators in the park with self-made pugil sticks and hanging tough on the monkey bars. Good times. Cheers for doing the Lincoln castle reaction too Connor, 'twas cool 😊

I was born in 81 and wish I was born about 15 years earlier so I could have been clubbing through the 80s and off my face at one of those unlicensed raves in the 90s. Or better still, going to a club when The Hitman and Her were filming. Love watching that back on KZread. Nightclubs had such great lighting systems in the 80s and 90s. People did have some support in the 80s and 90s though. We had books, a greater range of magazines, all sorts of helplines and support groups. I don’t mind being born in 81 though. It was a good time to go to school. I loved the practical toys instead of being so tech oriented now. I’m glad I saw the world before mobile phones, when people still had to actually on time for things, which was also hard with ADHD… not sure if phones made me better or worse.

If you go back 1000 years you will find "french", "german" and vikings entering "england" and if you go back 2000 years you will find the celts.

​Close enough, just a little off with the years. 1500 rather than 1000. We'll skip the Romans who left around 400 AD. The Angles, Saxons and Jutes started migrating around 500 AD. To Central, Southern and Eastern parts of England. As far as we can tell it was mostly peaceful with cross pollination of culture etc. A little later, perhaps around 700, the Danes and other Scandivanians. Don't quite me on the year. You probably know more than me on that one. Then The Normans from Northern France in 1066. Excellent job though, quite impressed ♥
