Aye, we wuz poor, we had nae baths, little food, middens to play in, drunks everywhere on a Friday night, bigotry, high unemployment and violence, but......... we wuz happy.
Lived in North Street Tenament Anderson late 70s 80s , building dens and boogie's,playing in the back court watching the jakeys behind the Tudor and drew drop with there Bellaire 😂❤
I was brought up in 1960's England but I used to love going to stay with my granny in Blackhill. I used to dread my mum taking me back home because I was always happier with my Glasow family. And its still the same for me today, most of my family are gone but I still spend as much time as I can in the place I've always considered my real home.
Looking back at it was hard times many families had to endure but being a kid playin with your pals on the streets was amazing didn't have a care in the world.
@@walterkronkitesleftshoe6684 yes, seems so. 209 of the comments on this video just disappeared last week for no reason I was aware of. I sent email to youtube and a few days later the comments were all back. Hopefully the comments will be reinstalled.
Interesting. I did some work on my house recently and found about 25 feet of old lead covered wiring and small bore lead pipe which I assume would have been for gas lighting. Also about one inch diameter lead pipe chiselled into the brick wall near the present new copper water pipe. The inlet is still lead pipe up to the stopcock. Located near Manchester.
The Kalergiplan... brought to us by the zionist globalist cabal who control our puppet leaders and opposition. Tony Blair started the process in 1997 by opening our borders to everyone and he was rewarded for his treason by receiving the Charlemagne Prize from his master's. #WWG1WGA #TheGreatAwakening
@@PaulSmith-fi1vg All true, why don't you research the Kalergi Plan. It was formulated in 1925 by Zionists, to create a non White, non Christian Europe.
Yes parts of Glasgow were pretty grim then and it took the Great Storm of January 1968 to show just how bad some of the tenements were when 29 paid with their lives. It was a wake up call which generally changed Glasgow for the better. Despite the conditions it was and still is a city with a great spirit and warm people many of whom had little but would give you the shirt off their backs.
Just another depressing memory of poverty, bad housing, bad everthing with a black and white artistic impression, who would want to be reminded of this?.......nobody thanks. Take it away
Born in the Gorbal's slums then the slums of the new housing in Nitshill. Got out of Glasgow as soon as I could. Not nostalgic for it at all. As someone else said this was a minority. Most people did not live like this. This poverty existed and still exists and destroys lives but it is not the history of Glasgow. Just a part of it but it seems to be what people concentrate on.
If you want to look into everyones DNA we all have a bit of every nationality in us. If you think about it , it was humans who split the world into countries . One race, one world. If you were blind people would all be the same to you . Lets stop judging people by vision.
My mum's home town glory Glasgow sadly she has past but would always show her videos she loved watching them love ya mum XX love u Louise and love you dad gbnf xxx
Wow, it makes me feel so fortunate to have lived, where I did, on a brand new council estate in Mitcham, as a little girl, growing up in these years when I was aged 10 to 14 😊
I was 10 years old in 78. I remember the poverty and depravation in Glasgow but still fond memories. The people of Glasgow are the salt of the earth. Always a laugh. Proud Glaswegian here ❤️
Well said,poor or not,people looked after one another.Whatever the conditions the children were safe,there was always someone with an eye for strangers in the street ,etc.Sorry,I could go on but thanks for the video.That City moulded everyone of us,whether we admit it or not..Cheers

@@lliambunter In Glasgow, I am well known for my musical taste. My first choice was Andy Stewart's "Donald Where's Your Troosers?", but unfortunately I couldn't contact him to get a licence to use his music. Thank you again for thinking of others and saving them watching this video.
Great old photos of Glasgow, I remember these times as I was born in 1964. Came from Maryhill to The Drum in 1974. I think the guy with the guitar and tartan suit was the Roller Man in these photos, he used to busk in the toon outside Frasers in Buchanan Street, does anyone remember him? Great times in Glasgow as have great memories of these days.
Yeah, people tend to only remember the past as being so good because they were children...and being a child, you're completely oblivious to the real world and you also block out bad memories as you grow up. You're also, generally, just not having to deal with all the aches and pains and medical problems of the human body then, and the brain is also fresh and excited at everything. Therefore, to nearly every human being, the past always seems like some fairytale time of peace, joy and wonder even though it just wasn't. Everything was better because you were only just discovering everything in life, so you had nothing to compare with and you lived in a highly protected bubble of innocence, ignorance and play.
