@ 6:35 think this is the late Alistair Darling Former Chancellor of the Exchequer, in fact he was the man who got my family a council house in Clovenstone in 1980 from Broomhouse, I remember him coming to our house, RIP Ali a good guy 👍
Strange video, but apart from all the weird clown crap, for many, this was the REAL Edinburgh, the Edinburgh I grew up in..not castles and gray friars Boabie 🤷 I lived in Broomhouse then Clovenstone most of my childhood..no glamour there, it wasn't all bad tho, lots of fond memories 👍
As a secondary school pupil I actually wrote a couple of articles for the sentinel both based on football, one was as a result of a punishment exercise given from a teacher which they thought was so good that they contacted the paper who published my football based story and the next was a report on my football team's (Clovie CC) end of the year awards ceremony. Amazing what memories stumbling across these videos bring back!
What?! Die muss man auch noch alle drei Monate erneuern? Was für ein Sch*! Das ist wohl die Rache für die Preissenkung auf 9€. War heute auch da, weil mir die Kundenkarte fehlte. Dachte, es reicht den Berechtigungsnachweis mit dem QR-Code bei mir zu tragen, weil ich nicht gecheckt habe, dass beim Onlineantrag auf der zweiten Seite mit der Adresse ich gemeint bin, da oben drüber zwei Felder für einen gesetzlichen Betreuer sind und ich ja keinen hab, aber ohne ausfüllen kommt man da nicht weiter mit dem Beantragen. Ich hab als Nachweis die Seite mit dem QR-Code als JPG hochgeladen, aber das ist wohl auch falsch. Ich hätte auch den QR-Code benutzen müssen. Einfach über die Internetseite gehe nicht. Totaler Sch*!!! Da wird aus einem eine Kriminelle gemacht, weil die es einem so schwer machen. So kann man sich die Kunden auch vertreiben.
Und dann taugt die Karte auch nur zum Bahnfahren und nicht wie der BerlinPass auch für Ermäßigung bei Eintritten und so. Wie weißt man da überhaupt nach, dass man ermäßigungsberechtigt ist? Mit der Seite mit dem QR-Code drauf, oder was?
Viele Menschen hatten Schwierigkeiten mit Beantragung Vbb Kundenkarte S.Der Berlin Pass war einfacher zu beantragen.Ein unnoetiger buerokratischer Aufwand ....
Born 1981 72/45 Wester Hailes Drive. I was just a young person and I remember it as a vibrant place where there was an energy to do better. But it was a dark place too and only later did I realise the deprivation we had to endure. The people were amazing though and my memories of the concrete jungle are strong but contrast with growing up in a caring community.
Danke fürs Hochladen. Nettes Zeitdokument, dass sehr viele Aspekte leider nicht anspricht! Hat Urbach einen der LKW gelenkt, der die Pflastersteine in die Kamminer Straße gefahren hat? Springer wollte mit seiner Klage auf über eine halbe Million Mark Mahler auch finanziell ruinieren, darüber waren die Teilnehmenden sehr wütend. Es gibt so viel Filmmaterial, weil auch DffB Studenten dabei waren. Wer weiß wo es den Agitationsfilm (03:16), der von den DffB-Studenten (Gerd Conradt) gedreht wurde, zu sehen gibt. Der Typ mit weißer Maske und Knüppel 04:31 ist Holger Meins :). Detlef Michel (00:02:44) war Mitbegründer der Kommune 1 stieg aber schon nach wenigen Tagen wieder aus, bzw. wurde rausgeschmissen, weil er ziemlich wirr daherredete. Den Aspekt mit Blaukreuz kannte ich jetzt noch nicht, also danke dafür :)
I was about 9/10 when my mum dad & 3 brother,s & 1 sister moved into W.H. My dad John Dickson was the caretaker in block 74 W.H. Drive into the Student Accommodation block & we were the 1st family to move into block. It was a great place to be brought up in. Mando the bro above me eventually came to stay with us as we had come from Niddrie before that Gilmerton Dyked where we lost our Italian Mama from Cancer & my dad met a beautiful , caring loving step - mum named Margaret ( Peggy ). Mando stayed on @ school in Niddrie with my older sister Marzia to finish his O’levels & came to see us @ w.end with his friend Mo Morwood from Niddrie . I loved living in W.H. as everybody new each other & we all cared for the Community . Dad opened up a School Club for the OAP,s on a Sunday in Hailes Hotel in Parrots Cage. It was the local disco. for the Community & organise a trip to Burntisland once every year for the members children to get couple coaches to take us & always threw a Christmas. Party for all the members. Kids to receive a present upto age of 12. Any older children. received an envelope with £ 5 inside & I loved being involved helping my dad fill out all the names for the Christmas Party & for the annual day out. I went to Hailesland Primary then to Forrester Annexe then to the WHEC. It was my year who opened up WHEC with a pantomime. named Joseph & the Technicolor Dream Coat . Always Jim Rankin was Joseph & what a voice that guy had. Alexia’s Cardonnie, Grant Murray, Valerie Smith, Karen Bowie , Paul Crawford, John Girdwood , Isa iRendall Hay brothers & Craven brothers fi Calders, Fiona Cunningham , Cammie Frazer & Butlers
Oh I forgot Stuart Gauls & the infamous Laing brothers Lesley Gilzean & many more … I left school & had my daughter Carla Brown to Harry Brown & we all lived in Calder Grove until he suddenly. died & Carla & I left Calder to move to Saughton Mains. I LOVED W. H & loved the way we all come together as a Community . Thanks for the lovely memories back to Wester Hailes. It made me the woman I am today. Wester Hailes Y’a Bass 😂😂😂♥️✌🏽😀🙏🙏🙏🇮🇹🏴💚💙💘🌈 Maria x
Ciao Maria, come stai? I'm Scott, you might remember me and my brothers Shaun & Steven, you stayed next door to my Aunty Helen (my mum is her sister Barbara) who was also a caretaker and your sister Marzia was one of her best friends along with Lorraine Munro. I too remember the trips to Burntisland and the Parrot Cage. Wester Hailes whilst being classed as deprived provided far more for it's citizens thanks to the volunteers than any government did, and the WHEC was one of the most modern schools in the UK in it's time.
MY mum used to run the Murrayburn hut for a few years back in the 80s! Wester hails was a tough area, but a great place to grow up. There were so many kids who lived in the stairs around the carpark in Dumbryden, where I lived, that we used to play about 20 a side at times! So many great memories
Ah wester hailes .. Moved to the park in mid 70s.... Was a great place to live.. Then they moved all the junkies, drunks and single mothers in!!. Doonhill from there!!. Some great characters though!!.
Esse documentário deveria ser visto por todos os povos, em todos os cantos da Terra. A violência, a opressão, a desigualdade social, os crimes contra a humanidade cometidos em nome do Poder e, não raramente em nome de Deus, eu gostaria de acreditar que , um dia, terão fim. Quando nós, o povo, exercermos plenamente o poder que temos.
Grew up there early 90s was extremely violent place I was 11 years old carrying a knife I’m glad we moved away around 94 otherwise I’d be dead or in the jail I was a regular shop lifter at 11 years old in the Center
Detlef Michel ist leider stehengeblieben. Was für ein Elend dieses linke Gesi... über Deutschland gebracht hat und weiterhin bringt. Man kann nur noch kotzen
Hailesland Park block 5 from 77 to 86. Loved living there but that’s only because I was just a child. My mother & father knew different. God only knows the what the health implications would have been had these buildings were left? I can still picture the brown sponge like growths in the corners of my bedroom & the dehumidifier in the hall sucking in the wet air. I remember a family that were total lunatics, I’ll not mention their name but the Son chasing me my brother & pals through the scheme with his own shite on a metal rod will stay with me, also when his mum was arrested for throwing a frying pan out the window! I lived on the 5th floor and they all lived a few flights above me?! The frying pan contained burnt macaroni cheese. ROGER SCOTLAND!!! Sorry couldn’t help myself.......
I have friends in wester hailes, I was brought up in Bradford Yorkshire and we have a few schemes like this in Bradford but much bigger, the main thing is community spirit, I'm afraid nowadays this attitude has gone 😔
Kein KOMMENTAR? Das wundert mich. Dokumentieren und glorifizieren kommen im Gleichschritt. Das spöttische Lächeln der Beteiligten spricht von Schadenfreude. --- Der Wortbeitrag von Günter Amendt im Bilddokument der Studenten-Diskussion läßt mich hoffen. Ein kluger, bereits sehr früh auf Entgleisungen sensibler Mann. Sein Lebensweg und sein bizarrer Tod de.wikipedia.org/wiki/G%C3%BCnter_Amendt sei der Aufmerksamkeit empfohlen. Er verstand viel davon, wie junge Menschen über Ihre 'Bedürfnisse und ihre Verführbarkeit (Drogen) gelenkt werden. --- Wer auch immer sich Revolutionen wünscht, lasst die Steine liegen!!!
Omg these little programs brought back memories, I’ve never personally lived in Westerhailes but my Uncle & Aunty did, along with my 3 wee cousins and I’d go to my Dads, in Dalry, every weekend and he’d always take me to see my wee cousins & we’d always go to the pool with the wee mushroom chute, I loved it and was too little to see that it was an awful area aesthetically, my cousins used to live in those awful flats, the ones that are similar to the banana flats in Leith with the long balcony type things, you know all along the landing where the doors were, and they also lived in the 6 in a block stairs that are still there now, you know Murrayburn Gardens, Grove, etc, etc, and I think they also lived in the multi-storey flats that are green & yellow today, they finally got a main door in Westburn many years later. My Aunty passed away in 1998 though, and my Uncle lives there alone, (I think) and my cousins are all grown up now and live in various parts of Edinburgh. This program brought back many memories, thanks for the upload x
