Beautiful times we had, i was born in 68 and when we look back it was magic, no one had nothing but everyone looked after each other, the lovely times with Christmas, bonfire night, new year first footing taking the coal in at 12 to see the new year in, every house had a party well into the mornings, you could go in any ones house with a warm welcome, proper Xmas trees up. I could cry how our country has ended up in 2024

Born in 1960 such lovely memories watching this,had best childhood ever going over the park to play coming home when we were hungry.Christmas and birthday was a wonderful time having couple of friends to tea and a cake.So much respect for our elders and people in authority,feel like the lack of respect is a big issue now.

@jacksugden8190 8 күн бұрын

I was 8 in 63, expect that things may have been just as hard for my late parents with the challenges of the modern day, the film may not have made things easier, depending on what side of society we were on, certainly less complex than 2024 - more challenging times ahead.
