This was my time in Ealing. Ginos, The Bell Tavern,The North Star and Monty’s .Met my wife there and ended up moving to guess where Northern Ireland lol😂 Been here 30 years. Still have good memories of the Broadway.
Nice to see this video 📹, my family came just a few years later from Pakistan in 1990, I remember my my parents going to C & A , and also beatties store, they baught me a remote control car 🚙 in 1995 I believe, so nice to see people dressed well back then. The clothing in the shops today is horrible, it barely fits...I have saved this video and shared it with family.
@@jeffholt9437No Jeff. I tell you the honest truth. Many of the English who settled down in Southall, Hayes, Hounslow and Ilford have mixed in well. The tanned skin from yearly vacations in Spain and Italy, have made them look and feel right at home.😂😂? Plus having daily meals at the local cuisine outlets...Need I say more. Welcome to the United Kingdom
You couldn`t believe how cosmopolitan it`s become there now. I rarely go there now. Similar to Richmond on Thames, It`s like Lagos on Ganges, but become very unwelcoming.
Either there was a threat to human life, or there wasn't. Either the cordon was sufficient, or it wasn't. So what's this issue with "everyone clear the area *except* for the camera crew"? Are they supposed to have some sort of privilege by being in the area or something? What about _other_ journalists (note takers, audio recorders, cam-corder videographers etc...) - are they excluded? What about curious civilians...if the cordon is supposedly safe, then why deprive them of the experience? You simply CAN'T order people around...if there's a legitimately perceived threat, then a better course of action, would surely be to _inform_ the public of the perceived threat, then politely *advise* that they remain clear of the area. It's degrading to treat human beings like cattle, no matter what the situation. Not professional at all. Other than that, it was very interesting looking back on London from back then... I tended to imagine what I saw from that year (general social behaviour of the public toward each other) was just "in my head" - but no, it was significantly better, than it is now... *noticeably.* And yes, the demographic of the populous *has* undeniably changed. There is such a thing as tribal gravitation - if you can identify with those who are similar to (especially) your birth parents, then it becomes easier, to feel grounded amongst them. I imagine that if you would've plonked the representative proportion of overseas arrivals in 2020 into that high street on that day, the indigenous population WOULD have been likely to express their mind about how shocked they were. It would be *_absurd,_* to have failed to notice.
