    WHY WHY WHY We let them all come in. Now where will we go? Will we stay or will we all emigrate and move to USA AND CANADA. What is left of the UK

    I remember those punk rockers with those strange fins on their heads when I first came to London in 1983, would be on a Routemaster in the Kings Road, I was a security guard for six months of 87, pleased it’s now all behind me in those uncertain times.

    Fantastic memories, I was 20 in 1987 and loved life, loved going to town to see the match or to buy new clothes and for a night out with friends. my favourite bar was Cordwainers in Nelson Street. Christmas always seemed to have a very special atmosphere as well, the darkness coming early in early, the Christmas lights and displays, The noise of the Starlings starting to gather and Fenwicks window seemed more magical back then. Thanks for this video. Great memories of a great time, with great people, in our great City.

    My uncle worked for the cosntruction company that built the steel outta skeleton of the metrocenter, at the the time it was being built the main road hadnt been constructed yet and the company had to use the Dunston road to get to and from the A1. when the metrocenter opened my uncle told my mam to to use the Dunston road as it was now a backroad in and out bypassing the traffic conjestion on the main road to the A1, i still use this turn off to get there. Miss the water features and the hussle and bussle of the metrocenter, i still remember the christmas event they had and i think there was a superrmarket too, it was busy in 1987 unlike now with half closed shops.
