Good old boys, and probably happier than the residents they served.

0 seconds ago At 35 seconds - the family home where I grew up is down the road on the right , with the exception of the gatehouse nearly all the houses featured have been demolished to make way for Oligarch mansions . I remember the binmen well , they always enjoyed a chat with the residents.

"£100k houses" woo! um, they cost millions now.. wish i could go back in time and buy some

You can go back in time and buy a £100k house, provided you also have the national average wage of £1k at that time.... Lol

£100K in 1975 - when this was broadcast - is about £850K in today's (2020) money 💰. Still a fair wack!

@@annabellaandrewkingdon7972 According to the Bank of England £100K in 1975 is circa £850K in 2020. I'm reliably told you could only get a mortgage worth 2.5 to 3 times salary in those days (rather than 5 times odd today). Deposits and interests rates were higher too. Property prices in that manor have generally increased way beyond inflation however...

Talking as a modern day binman ... The poor housing bins contain take away pizza boxes, beer tins, scratch cards & nappies. The posher houses mostly have upmarket newspapers, glossy magazines, wine bottles & generally a better class of crap !! 😉

They have partys at home because they’re too famous to go out to the pubs or clubs like a normal person. Thats why theres so many booz bottles

Those 100k pads have since matured quite nicely just like their gracefully aging owners - Engelbert, Cliff Richards, Tom Jones, etc. Wonder if the "Binmen" are still around in 2022? 🤔

I've not seen rubbish collected like that....the brown bags they carry??? Were they too posh to have the metal dustbins we used to have as kids....lol....? Or did the bin men literally have to sift through the rubbish for the wine bottles to keep them separate...early recycling?

Bill Bryson wrote in his recent book that a lot of the old houses in this area have been demolished and replaced with a style of house he amusingly labels as "Russia gangster".
