Footage around Dundee in 1994 

The world was different back then. Also poeple looked around at their surroundings and went places, unlike today where poeple stare at their phones, and get stuff delivered to them off the Internet. Look at exchange Street and Castle Street (18 mins 30 seconds), it very strange that there aren't any cobble stones. As far as I remember exchange Street and Castle Street always had cobble stones, just as they are to this today . It's very odd because on this video, it clearly shows these streets to be tarmac!!...??? Very strange!!!

@@chrisreynolds8054 wow your so right big man i remember these streets being cobbled as well mate another mandella effect i really dont know where we are now this world so bizzare chris the internet has killed the society we remember i miss the days going into a busy city centre on a saturday with thousands of people visiting all the shops wellegate etc..kids nowadays have no idea what they missed real ahame for them..

@@braveheart576 yea I think it may very well be another mandela effect, because its never been tarmac in all my memories of it, and it still isn't. I couldn't imagine it being cobbled then tarmac then back to cobbled. That wouldn't go unnoticed. So it's really very strange!!!. Yea I remember when I was kid in the 80s, me and my mates would go into town on Sat afternoons ,and it felt like a big thing. Town was busy, even things like going to ABC cinema to see Rocky 3 and 4 , and going swimming at Liesure Centre, was exciting. Getting on the buses with my mates to go into town, sport shops, cinema, swimming, mcdonalds, wondering around, was something we used to look forward to for the weekend. Also Sundays back in the 80s felt like Sunday, virtully everything was shut. So we used to play outside, climb on roof tops, trees, walls play hide and seek, play chicka a nelly ( we knock on somebodys door then run away,"" we were just kids!!!😃", I was a fast runner back then aswell!!..)build dens, go on our bikes, etc. Today kids are probably never off social media!!. .. totally different world now

@@braveheart576 regarding the cobble stones/tarmac surface, I've shared my findings to Dundee history Facebook sites, and seems to be no comments about it. So far just a few likes. I find that very odd aswell, because normally when I share a photo or video ( that is not regarding something odd) to these sites ,I get quite a lot of responses. But with that strange one, I get hardly any responses. Is it being surpressed??.. or does it trigger something to prevent them responding back ??... its just so bizarre!

I think that the road in Castle street is cobbled stone on the video. Probably can’t see it very well because the video is of such low quality. There’s no way they would go from tarmac back to cobble. It’s Dundee City council remember. Anything to save a penny or two.

And when couples were a man and a woman too

@@doctormed3275 when it was all indigenous white Scottish people

Back when not everybody tried to get on the dole as well

What are they doing to you. At least they aren't junkies .

I'm not sure myself, I'm guessing when the city centre was pedestrianised back in the early 2000s they tore up the tarmac and uncovered the cobbles. I've seen this happed naturaly, there's a few streets around stobswell and maryfield where the tarmac has broken up revealing the pebbled road underneath

@@alloverdundee7722 Exchange Street and Castle Street has always been cobbled. Its never been tarmac at any time I've known them, and I've lived all my 47 years in Dundee. I used to work just up from Exchange Street in 1994, and I remember a car incident that happened on Exchange Street due to the wet cobbles that year. I also know other people who have lived in Dundee all their lives the same age as me, that don't recall tarmac at any time. Even to this day ,these roads are still cobbled. It's mighty strange seeing theses roads all tarmac !!

Definitely, and no overflowing bins and weeds everywhere.
