@@sanvirel6182 How would you know? lol A kid in the seventies ? I was a teenager in the 70s and a young adult in the 80s so remember them both and the 70s were the best with the 80s a close second 🥳
@@kazleslie6334 kid in the 70s. Turned 13 in 79. So i wud say the 80s were the best, but it all comes down to when, where, why, at thetime in your life. They were both great decades for various reasons.
Janet lol read what I just said above and your bang on I don’t think all the garbage from now was accident?I think it was totally intentional!depersonalize everything take away sense of family and values as well morals have everyone especially young peoples faces stuck in there phones so they no longer talk or do the things we enjoyed?do you know how many kids I see in playgrounds now?virtually none!or playing baseball or hanging out and I don’t mean to drink or drug or robbery just hang out...or family sitting together watching the tube or sitting together for meals..if in fact meals are even prepared anymore?do u think this is just coincidence?no way I think totally planned and for a very long time!unreal !🌹

Waking up to the milk float and the clinking of bottles looking out of a condensated wet window, wash in bathroom, going downstairs having breakfast, Terry wogan on the radio, Dad with his head buried in a news paper, porridge,hair brushed, off to school..and not a bloody mobile phone insight.. perfect!
I head u mate the only telephone was. At home and if u was in you didn't get and we use to have the pop man ever Friday dust men wasn't the use to pick up rubbish off the street so as they went kids use to play outside and not an Xbox insight ooo how I love the simple times ❤
I was 50 years old in 1970, it was one of the best decades of my life, I indeed enjoyed it, I met Michael Jackson in 75, it was a great memory, I was an author back then, I used to write with typewriters, I am still learning to adapt with the internet and technology, I am now a retired 101 year old. Hope I make yo be one of the oldest individuals in this planet.
❤️.... Yes my nan was the same I lost her in April.. I came for the memories even though I was born in 73.. I still had a cry at the good times in the world
id have so many questions if we met im inlove with the 70s, 80s but im 19, i just wish i could wake up everymorning and see the old cars going past nd the radio i love the esthetic of the 70s
Just found this I am 58 now I remember this so well sat at home with my wonderful parents safe and looked after, I have a tear in my eye how I wish I could go back just for a while, when life was so carefree and my family together.
One set of clothes for school, one for playing. No idea what a brand name trainer was. They were for rich people. Ah, and the annual Hotpoint kids trip to Liverpool Empire to see Cilla Black in panto!
Ah, when life was simple, easy, and real. Back doors left open wide, neighbours popping in and out all day long. When away from home, eat a meal at your best mate's house, and their mum didn't mind. Food and sweets allowed even when you didn't have all the correct change. Doung chores and washing cars clearing paths from snow, for pocket money. Petrol 50d a gallon, !!! A gallon?!?! That's 4 and 1/2 litres in todays money. !!!!!!! Playing down the rec until 11pm. Ahh, I do miss yesteryear. 😶🤪
The Sat morning progs were brilliant - you could be watching an animation then some crazy dubbed French programme. Sad these days it is mostly primary coloured computer animated stuff that all looks the same. Banana Splits were ace!

I’m so glad I was kid in the 70s . My childhood was amazing. We played outside all day long, playing spotlight at night was so much fun . We had no worries only what to play next. Wonderful tv programs to watch the whole family could watch together. These days children worry so much about things . There is a information overload. Nothing is private. It feels like the innocence is gone from childhood now .I wish I could take my kids and grandkids back to the 70s just for a day .
@@funforkidsforever if you're a guy, think about it like this: a bunch beautiful teenage girls come knocking at your door. They are dressed in baseball uniforms and they want to get a game going.

What a time to be alive, no social media, just fun , hop scotch, firefly's and marbles , conkers, and go karts, nobody had a lot and just made things up as you went along. My favourite was Arabian Nights but there were many.
Born in 56, teenage years through the 70’s, would go back in a heartbeat. As someone else said we had nothing but in reality we had everything, great days.
We had reality. Not virtual reality. We had intelligence. Not artificial intelligence. Intelligence and talent was recognised. Now it's teconised. Any ass can do it. 🤣
I'm 59 years old now and I can remember those good old days. wish we had a time machine to go back. The TV programmes , music , people , food , drink , sweets , football and life etc was so much better here in the UK.
@@markmaggott5423, I've said many times, thanks to the likes of the 2 tone music movement , which I have been bouncing to "until this day" Racism was solved. Power and greed of the Elites have stirred this up. This today is a manufactured racism aimed at people to cause division. A divided, atomised, individualised society is so much easier to control than a strong united one. Spread the word.
I will be 59 in July, my best years of ‘quality’ life are behind me 😩. It’s not just because I was younger then, it’s how it is now! I wouldn’t want to be growing up now! I don’t want to be young again, I just wish I could re live those years 🥰
Born 1962, perfect year, teenager in the 70s, nothing will ever take that away from us. Golden times. Summers of 75/76 fantastic, leave the front and back door open so the breeze could pass through the house, speak to the neighbours over the fence. Times gone by. Memories remain. How lucky we were then.
OMG I'd forgotten that we'd have a person at front door and back door keeping the doors wide open and to make sure they didn't slam and the glass didn't break to let the breeze through LOL. I loved playing out alll day, you'd get upset when u were "called in" for your dinner. we ere filthy but didn't even notice.too busy playing kiss chasing LOL
My dad was born in 1962 in Sydney and tells me just how good it was growing up in the 70s and 80s. You could see bands like Dragon and the Angels for a few Bob at the local pub. Buy firecrackers at the general store. Beers for a dollar etc. Haven't been able to either of those things for years. Now we've become a soft politically correct nanny state where people get offended at the dumbest things.
Going to the tip to find deposit bottles, then taking them to the shop to get the deposit money to spend on chews &c.. Ninteen seventies not eighteen seventies -honest!
scanning the grass on the park after the fair had left...all the loose change. Bought a big bag of herbals from the local shop run by two little old ladies
I am privileged to have grown up during the sixties and seventies. Our lives were far more private and people knew how to have fun. Wonderful memories.
If I could go back to that time and live it all over again, I would! Even with the financial crisis, the strikes and the cold war, the 70s was a *far* more optimistic time than today!

Lol don’t forget how grey and drab the towns were and the boredom....sorry to say every generation thinks their youth was better. The music however was certainly great
I'm sure every generation say the decade they grew up in is the best but I honestly can't possibly think it's possible for me to have had a happier childhood. This brings back so many happy memories...Pink Panther, Banana Splits, Black Beauty, The Double Deckers...and all those wonderful adverts. And those beautiful TV themes. Best decade ever.
Totally agree, I was lucky enough to have the most wonderful childhood. Would I like to go back? NO. It was a great time to grow up in but I'm fine living in 2023.

Was 22in 1972 and what a ball we had. We had a lot of freedom. But over the last 10years or so it's been taken away from all of us by power hungry. Politicians. Of all partys
Born 67... great times . Freedom to play out till it was dark. No health and safety shit . Climbing 50 ft high. Air guns bows and arrows making explosions. Totally fantastic time to grow up. Cant even explain it if you weren't there . Great vid
Yep , born ‘64 , it was great fun , loved it , poor kids Today , can get bullied 24/7 not even safe at home any more . It was a much happier time for sure 😁
Get up have breakfast and get out all day having adventures and enjoying yourself with your best mates......best days ever.....so sad to see the world's gone to shit and it has turned to shit you can't deny it......
This has made my heart ache as it made me realise what a awful world we now live in. I am not saying it was all perfect & problem free back then but compared to today it wasn’t far from it ☹️.

We were lucky. I was born in 1962 and that meant that when I was fifteen it was punk, heavy metal (seeing AC/DC and Motörhead etc). Even if we feel miserable now at times, we have amazing memories.

Exactly, playing in the park and getting called for your dinner, run in ur house, kick off ur shoes and sit down at the table without washing ur hands and then straight after run down the sweet shop with an empty corona bottle to trade in for 10p, u would swap the 10p peice for a 10p mixup which would last u all day... they were the days...
Born in 1964. Have a tear in my eye watching this. Long hot summer's, jumpers for goalposts, jumping on my 5 gear racing bike, marbles played on drains, fantastic days, great memories and great programmes. Thanks for posting.
Paul , I loved playing marbles on the drains. I also get a tear in my eye watching these old 60's and 70's videos. They bring back so many memory's , don't they?
The happiest days of my life, so blessed to have had them. What a mess we've become. Please someone invent a time machine and take all of us who lived then back. Those who didn't live then can stay in the shit we've had since as they'd only wreck it.
Totally agree,as I get older my memories of the seventies grow stronger, life was simpler and way more enjoyable, my folks (both passed too) didn't have much but we weren't under pressure to be greedy unlike 90% of the population today. I would go back in a heartbeat.

@@nickross7682 I was born in the nineteen sixties and hated the nineteen seventies. 5o all the people who dislike the 2020's, I would like to send them to the nineteenth centuryon a time machine and they would see what life was REALLY like: fewer jobs, jobs that existed were far more dangerous without proper machinery or health and safety, almost no jobs for women, unmarried others put in homes where they would be ill-treated, no social security, diseases easily cured nowadays would easily kill you then. I am sure that there is more. I just want to tell you how lucky we are to live in the 2020's.
As a person who was born in the 90s, I have enjoyed a lot of stuff that were from the 70s like Heidi and Maya the Bee which are not shown on this video, but these two are the ones that I grew up the most. They are not only my favorite shows, but also my favorite tales in general. As for those who disliked this video, they might be people who didn't like the decade, but it does not matter in which year or decade they were born. In my opinion, all the decades have their ups and downs, but these people need to learn to not hate on a decade because of the bad things that have happened and just like only that decade because of the good stuff and nostalgia.
I was born in 1966. I remember everything in this video. Hawaii 5-0 was the first real TV grown-up show I was allowed to watch. Days of playing out side, cinema and coming home late to fun TV. Looking back, I had a fab childhood and did not realise at the time that even without much money I actually had everything !!
Agree from a fellow 1966er. what is a little odd is how few of the episodes they made. Mary Mungo.. 15..MrBenn 14 Camberwick Green 15 I seem to remember endless episodes
without money we'd all be rich. amazing how adults would want to go back to those free times.. but would they do it knowing it was because they were free of money. Adults don't remember that one simple freedom. Wish they would, because it would change the awful state of the planet. Humanity has been conditioned to its slavery. To enjoy their slavery. They got all the distraction tools to forget themselves.. at the tips of their fingers at any given moment in every day.
What an utter privilege to have experienced the 70s. Such joy hearing and seeing this video - feels like yesterday, I know all the words and the memory is blissful.
I agree Denise, and not so d r, we were there & the 1970's wipes the floor with any other decade to have grown-up in. Crime was almost unheard of, people cared & socialized regardless of background, everyone was included & everyone had a ball man woman & child from grandma to toddlers. Housing prices, new cars & goods/food cost 2/5th's of f-ck-all as a percentage of wages, 1 wage could EASILY support an average mortgage (try that nowadays you'd be on the bones of your arse pronto, costs an arm a leg & firstborn offspring these days! jeeeez!). Flares / bell-bottomed jeans, wide-collared paisley long-sleeved shirts, mini-skirts & mullets or plaited-hairdo's - what's not to love!?. Just add The Bee Gees pumpin' & you'll never look back... 'Well, you can tell by the way I use my walk, I'm a woman's man no time to talk...' We know how lucky we were & we know we hit the zeitgeist jackpot when it comes to being born a certain decade/time/era. (I was born 6 June 1969, 6/6/69). With rock & roll like 'Long Way To The Top' by AC/DC for a start - we had it made! Best Growin'Up Years EVER 1970's; easy! Peace, respect, be nice to ya missus & those less fortunate always.

Don't assume wrongs about people you don't know, 80s were great but materialistic bread-headed attitudes grew rife as the economy was exploding & consumerism became rampant, plus the music was good but 70s music was brilliant.

@@liamloxley1222 Depends on when you were born. I was born in 1960, by the time 1980's rolled around I was an adult. The years when you were a not yet an adult will always be the better years for the most part. I've enjoyed growing up in the 60's and 70's, those were indeed 2 carefree decades for me. In the 80's I joined the military and that was also a great time in my life. Then the 90's rolled around and screwed everything up and it's gone downhill ever since.
What I wouldn't give to live in the 70s. I could see all my favorite bands for great prices and my mother would show me how to make my hair look awesome. Too bad I'm a teenager... It's so so hard to make friends now with my "old" mind.
Born in 62, the 70s were a great time to grow up, parents never had much money but it did not matter as no one had money, did not cost anything to be outside all day playing football with your pals. Stress was a thing that no one had heard off or ADHD.
Brilliant. Great times, we lived free and happy, loved and lost tried and won tried and failed laughed and cried, played out every night till it went dark. A lot less fearful oppressive era
So true. 50's, 60's, 70's and 80's. But the 60s, and 70s those were the days. Missed them. I'm 68yrs old. I really missed the good old days of yesteryear.
As a whole ppl were respectful of each other back then. During the 70's I lived in a few different parts of the u.s and visited and drove thru most of the mainland. Only time I ran into some ppl being disrespectful was in the
South ! People were friendly there for the most part, then there were also some that weren't. Either because of the length of my hair or my skin color or both.
Thank the Lord I grew up in the 60s and 70s. I'm happy today only because of the great childhood I had. I pity the children and young adults growing up today.
You are right they may have a lot more than we did back then.the only difference is we had more laughter true friends.less violence and freedom.we were always polite we had to be our parents saw to that.70s was a great era to grow up in.
@@thra5herxb12s I turned 18 in Dec of 73 and when I went to register for the selective service in Jan. I was told there was no longer a draft. So I partied hard the rest of the 70's. Lots of good concerts, ticket prices were cheap. So was the hashish and pot
I agree, I was born in 1966. Here I am in 2024, just turned 58 years old. The feeling of being a kid again certainly comes alive watching these uploads.
How come I remember every single one of these, but can’t remember where I put my keys? Brilliant video, makes me afraid to look out of the window and get dragged screaming and kicking back to reality!
The generation that was born in the 50s and 60s are looking at this and saying that life was good back then. I was born in 1966 and remember great times when I was young. Mostly playing outside till it was dark. Tv was entertaining. Power cuts, thick fog, proper snow and blizzards, and we were still able to play outside. I wonder if the millennial generation will look back when they are in their 50s and say the same that life was fun without any worries?
I was born in '68. I used to *love* the power cuts! Reading by candlelight is something I still occasionally enjoy. I don't want to have a pop at later generations, but it's difficult to imagine them filling in their time in the darkness without being able to charge their phones! _"What's a book? Surely you mean Kindle?"_ 😆
No computers, no mobiles, 3 tv channels. Life was simpler and better. If I could go back I would. The world was a better place and not f*cked up like it is now.
Justin Ball, I couldn't agree more... less was so much more definitely. Conker fights, run outs, footy on the smallest patches of grass, go Karting, finding golf balls in the rough of the golf course, making catapults, bows and arrows, playing marbles on drain grates, penny up the wall plus lots more... Aaah the good old days !!!
this is A GREAT COMMENT, William C!! think of it. Some of those commercials said more about life, or the importance of that product or our lives in seconds than most bullshit TV now, especially the stupid rise of "reality TV". There is no MASH, CHEERS, OR WEST WING OR NYPD BLUE or Hill Stree Blues or Dragnet anymore. they don't make shows like that.
child in the 60s, teenager in the 70s, young adult in the 80 s! I consider myself massively privileged to have heard and sung along to some of the most iconic popular music that has ever been written. Thanks for the memories, ( I still whistle ˋ a finger of fudge‘,🤣
I haven't seen the Double Deckers since I was a child, yet I sang along with every word of the song! I also loved the Black Beauty theme tune and used to "gallop" through the woods to my friends house humming the tune to myself! 😆
That Black Beauty theme song was an absolute classic. Wonderful, evocative piece of music. I'm also partial to White Horses and "The Lightning Tree" which was the theme to Follyfoot. Never actually watched the shows back then, but loved the music.
Every where you go, all you see is people on their phones, what a sad sight. It's all about the money these days, God I miss the 70s x. They sure were the days.
Getting back from junior school watching news round before tea, playing out in street, football in park using jumpers for goal posts, building dens and dams if a stream, climbing trees, jumping off things, sweet shop for a 10 or 20 pence mix up... good memories
@@professionalgun6674 I remember when it was four for a penny, mate - effectively a farthing each, although the farthing was not legal tender in my life. Tuppence for four Fruit Salads and four Black Jacks. Great days. Great memories 👍
Was born in the mid 60's and grew up in the 70's. Even the bad days were good. The strikes didn't effect me and the power cuts made life a bit more exciting. I remember my mother lighting candles in all of the rooms. So many great memories of the TV programmes and intro music. What I'd give to go back. Thanks for posting.
I was there too, I remember my sister and I were wandering in the dark to the nearest shops looking for candles or paraphin but as usual, all sold out.
This makes me wanna cry I miss those days when school was out for the summer seem to last forever the world has completely changed if anyone invent a time machine to go back to the 70s please don’t forget me..
I thought I was the only one wishing it was the 70's again. I know we were young and care free back then and my glasses have a slight Rosie tint, but every thing was so exiting! Especially the music.... Beatles. Glam rock. Prog rock. Heavy rock. Punk rock. Disco. 2 Tone. Never will be another decade like it. Films, Jaws, Star wars, Indiana Jones, Alien. Born 1960, wouldn't change it for anything.
The time when life was lived, fun was not imposed by multinationals , media didn’t shit up our life , when opinions where not impossible and privacy respected.....fu...21 century
Now I understand why when your in your teens your grandparents are always going on about 'The Good Old Days!' 👍The truth is, it's the same for every generation! Nearly everyone yearns to be young once again and experience their youth, especially if you have fond memories. This was great to watch, took me right back there again! Happy Times 😊I just wished I had the knowledge and experience life has taught me now im almost 60, at 16. My first proper concert was in 1975,at Birmingham Odean, I saw the Bay City Rollers live!
The music of the early 70s was pretty darn good too..... Led Zepplin, Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, Jethro Tull, King Crimson, Pink Floyd, Yes, Creedence..... the whole decade was a musical feast.
Lol.. soooo many memories from this. Long hair over your ears.... the bottom of your Brutus jeans covering your whole shoes...tank tops... Playing football in the park for 4 hours, only going home cos your mum told you... No TV remotes... A phone was a phone... Climbing trees... Old spice..acne 😳
We would go outside after breakfast, and play until lunch. Then go back outside and play until dinner. After dinner mother would tell us to come home at sundown. In the summer we would play outside and catch fireflies, and camp in the backyard in a tent. In those days it was safe for children to play outside. Our dogs were by our side outside.
I am now 65 years old now and the 70's was the greatest era to me. So much fun. And a lot of togetherness!! It started declining in 1980. It all fell off the cliff then.
Let’s all buy a time machine and go to a time in our life’s where we felt at peace with our selfs unfortunately seeing this is bringing back sad memories because I was happier I really was
If you can build the machine I'm taking with me evidence of 2020 culture and display it to people in the 70s and perhaps it will shock them and change the future.
Hello scott congratulations on your 66th birthday mines in july I was watching a nightly police program well the kids beating up and smashing up there homes and then put in a cell and cursing well it makes me proud and all the other 50ees and 60ees kids terrable at least we had respect even a clip around the ear made us think twice mind you if me and my sister was playing up are mum would slap the umbrella on the table arre great memories well scott be good🤣😇😊

Thank you so much for putting this together! 😊 It took me right back as if I was living my youth all over again. I was surprised to find I instantly recalled all the theme tunes and words as if no time had passed at all! My memories absolutely flooded back to my early childhood weekends, summer holidays, and Christmases with all my family. I was wonderful, and at the same time a little melancholy, as most people of my age will probably agree remembering happier simpler times and those who we no longer have around us any more. It was like stepping into a time machine😁it's definitely made my day and cheered me... So thanks once again!
I remember every word in those adverts. I think my favourite advert, not shown in this compilation, was the Mentho-Lyptus. "Oh Mum. I can't take my exams blocked up like this." "Course you can, Malcolm!"

@@liamloxley1222 I was born in 65 and I loved the 80s , but for different reasons , for a lot of us the 70s are childhood memories, the 70s really was a great decade to grow up in .
School discos, Aztec bars , no mobile phones, landlines to ring people, chips in newspapers allowed to put your own salt and vinegar on , proper music, flares , flowered shirt and ties, omg how I miss the 70s , I could cry reminiscing about those wonderful times.
Strikes, three day weeks, power cuts, Ted Heath taking on the miners. And losing. IRA bombing campaigns. British Leyland. On strike, usually. The Austin Allegro. ( we had one). The bl**dy thing spent more time in the garage than on the road. The Allegro was officially the SECOND worst car ever made. The first prize went to the East German Trabant which in terms of sheer awfulness was impossible to beat. Almost forgot. Football hooliganism. England had proper football hooligans in the 70s. Saturday afternoon at Stamford Bridge, Chelsea vs Fulham. That would bring out the mounted police in droves. Casual violence. Nothing like today's knife gangs of course. But there was an undercurrent. In west London in places like Acton the local coppers would mete out a beating to some of the local gangs. Nobody worried too much about "rights" or "evidence" or any of that nonsense. I went to a grammar school that had a very high academic standard, as it happens. It later became a comprehensive. Being Roman Catholic, the kids were predominantly of Irish descent but also a substantial Polish minority plus a few Italians and a couple of Spaniards. So there was an undercurrent of IRA sympathisers, Polish anti communist nationalism and Sicilian organised crime. It was a fun place. There was arms dealing, nothing serious of course. Just airguns but selling them in the playground was against the school rules. This prompted an investigation by the headmaster who I'm sure was an ex copper. We used to call him Bookim Danno ( Hawaii 5 O reference, obviously ). Ah yes. My teenage years. Sighs.
