I was born in Guernsey, evacuated to Lancashire during the war and returned in 1945. Stayed there till I was married in 1956. We have been back a few times but now I live in NZ, my husband passed away 7 years ago. I am enjoying seeing all the old familiar placed once again. Thank you for what you are doing.

My wife works for M&S and although you have them over there she can't get her staff discount. Apparently the are all franchise shops. In fact when we first went to the Channel Islands in the 70/80's there wasn't any M&S. It had a different name but all the goods had the M&S brand. When you were walking along the Glategny Esplanade you crossed over by a pub I think it was the Ship and something. We were in there back in 82 and we were watching the telly. On it was the QE2 coming back from the Falkland Islands. It's these little things that stick in your mind.

When did the market turn into a mini shopping centre??? I used to love wandering around on market days and picking up freshly dressed crabs and huge bunches of flowers :D I'm pretty sure where Hotel Chocolat is now, used to be a Toni & Guy hairdressers??!! (It was certainly along that stretch as you walked down to Dix Neuf ;) )

I can remember walking around the arcade shops with my mum on a Saturday or should i say being dragged around and one of the shops thats changed is the model shop that was in the corner near the steps that took you down to the church and my treat was to get a model to build ,like a plane or a boat great shop in its day,well for kids anyway, also i see Boots is still there thats good and also creasey other then that most of the shops have changed Great video Ross as always keep em coming .

I'll take your heart as a yes. Okay, I'll start with three questions. Do you think Guernsey would've had arcade games in the 1980's? How dangerous is it to jump or fall into the English Channel, especially the distant water from St. Peter Port? My story involves a fake death, and I once read that falling into an ocean can crush you. And is it true both English and French people live in said city and country? They "automatically" (I speak loosely) speak both languages?

Twenty two percent of the population, that's 12,000 people, survive on £18,000 a year after rent, mortgage and tax payments. Fifteen percent of people earn £12,000 a year after deductions. A third of children living in the island are classed as being at risk of relative income poverty.
