Brought back a lot of memories. I'm 53, so the same era,definitely better back then.

Born 1950, and now in hindsight, it was better, no social media telling you how shit the world is, no kids being stabbed almost every day, no mugging, scammers, pedos and general lack of respect for other people, it was a more social time, and relaxed, people weren't all about material things but rather just enjoying their more simple lives, for me, music was also better, as proved by music of my times still being popular, Sabbath, ELO, Supertramp and many more, I miss those times. 🤗👍

Brilliant video Lee, brought back plenty of memories. You should do more stuff like this.

Fruit Spangles, kola cubes, pineapple chunks, Pacers (like Opal fruits but mint flavour), rosebuds, cherry lips, Bazooka Joe bubblegum which had a tiny comic storyline in the wrapper, sherbet dabs, fruit salad chews.

Good Evening Gentlemen. I really loved this video of looking back and and having a Good Remenissing of Times gone by. My Childhood was a really Good one with my very Loving Mum and Dad, who i miss, so, so much. Television programs where so much better then. None of this Stupid PC rubbish. Back then in the 1970's and 1980's two of the Best era's of my Life. The music, The Fashion, Playing by our local river, swinging over the river on a made rope swing. Going on very long bike rides. Sweets and Chocolate Bar were much better and a lot bigger back then. I really did use to love watching Crackajack, Play School, Magpie, Blue Peter, Thunder Birds, Captain Scarlet, Jo 90, those were Great television programs. What has happened to Television today?? The Inter Net has completely Destroyed any last bit of Nostalgia today. Technology has taken over the World as we know it. But, I still say You never forget Your roots. They made You. I always Will remember my Beautiful and Caring Mum and Dad. Thank you for listen to my memories of Nostalgia. Big Respect to You Lee and Dave my Friends.

Absolutely fantastic nostalgia trip back to the better days.

Honey Puffs, if you've got a Mr Simms traditional sweet shop you can get all those old sweets. It was easier to shop back in the day, go round the supermarket, pick up what you wanted, go to the greengrocer, butcher, fishmonger and pay in cash. Go to the electric or gas board shop and choose your new oven, fridge, tv etc. Try out beds, sofas etc. Have a catalogue for your clothes etc. No apps, mobiles, computers. I sound like a little old lady, I am, lol.

This has brought back so many happy memories, thank you. Used to watch We are the Champions as a child feeling jealous when everyone jumped in the pool at the end

Spangles and Weekend chocolates. This is brilliant, well done to both of you xxx

In the 50s, I had an erestor set. Nuts, bolts and aluminium frames with which you could build anything. I bought the additional motor and built a robot that rolled around the room.

Very enjoyable video, and yes things were so much better then. I'm surprised you can't remember The Golden Shot which ran for around 7 or 8 years late 60s to mid 70s and hugely popular. Bob Monkhouse, Norman Vaughan and Charlie Williams all hosted it at various times and it was famously broadcast live which was fun when things went wrong.

Lee this was great !! I’m 55 and in a little over a month away from 56. I grew up a few miles west of where you lived in Hoboken and still live there ( Paterson ) watching this brought back a lot of memories, all the Tv shows like Cannon , Rockford Files , The Equalizer that I watched with my father in the 70’s & the 80’s. Tv just ain’t the same anymore , only one good comedy on Tv and that’s Young Sheldon , it’s all talent shows and reality crap. In the last 20 plus yrs there’s only been maybe 5-6 good Tv shows on like Two and a Half Men , The Big Bang Theory and it’s spin off Young Sheldon , Mom and couple of others. The 80’s for me were a blast , high school ( 82-86 ) house parties , weekend camping and sitting around a fire eating & drinking beer with friends or your girlfriend. The 90’s were pretty good also , got a good job and made great money and then the 2000’s came and it all went to hell , pc this pc that. I still live in the house I grew up in , lost my father in Jan 2020 & Mom in Sept of 21. I sit here sometimes and wish I could go back in time to the late 70’s , when I’d get up in the morning, grab a bowl of cereal and go out the back door into the back yard and grab my BMX and hear my mother yell to me from the back door you better be home for dinner.
