I Love these films I grew up in Kings Cross in the sixties me and my brothers would walk to Old Covent Garden and lug a big bag of potatoes back to Kings Cross
@@handsoffmycactus2958 Morons like you can be very pedantic. Of course there is some plastic. But far less than today. Literally everything from a film from 60 years ago from the culture you grew up in will be familiar, but different. "The past is a foreign Country, they do things differently there" L.P Hartley. The Go Between.
Paul Oliver you can’t un-invent the invented. What about all the lorries, cars, leaded fuel used, pollution was rife and everywhere. But no, you just plod in agreeing with yourself cos you’re so blindsided with the falsehood of your own ego and bullshit
Everyone looks so thin! And formally dressed, too... and they all have a cigarette going!We're so fat, lazy and slobby nowdays... These films are great, I'm so glad they got put up here!
I worked the equivalent in Dublin and I love it. Anything got to do with that kind of work made me happy, but few and far between. Now everything is done in warehousing indoors. Bring back the bad old day's. ☘️
Used to go to a cafe in Smithfields market early mornings when I worked nights in a City bank.. took my posh boss in there one morning, look on his face when the porters started their banter with each other.. so funny, he'd never heard language like it before .. they all looked so pale though, like they'd never seen sunlight.. great times.. guess it's all shutdown now?
My wife enjoyed the central markets in Barcelona so much that while in London this year she booked a tour of the meat market shown here, she did not know it was a wholesale market, it was freezing cold that early, even colder inside, I found it quite interesting, sadly it will be gone soon, another piece of history lost, but in many ways it was not unlike how you see it here.
@Ken Roberts… It's called the ENGLISH language for a reason, because we invented it, so shit head you are using our language, see if you understand this … FUCK OFF.
@@farmcentralohio no its not genius.... Quite often its been stored 2 years plus before it lands on your plate..... and all the fat will have been cut off by the butcher .... Tasteless,, dry piece of meat.
Working in the food industry all my life, that kinda meat still exists, unfortunately it doesn't make it to the shop shelves, it goes to all the restaurants instead. The stuff in the shops in packaging is pure shit believe me. One thing I say though, Lidl red meat is decent, it's as good as what you would get in most butcher shops in my opinion
Back when the media was even more corrupt and ideological than it is now. It's hilarious hearing you silly old men pander at the old western propaganda. The machine was running even harder and faster then.
Brilliant..I love the Look at Life series ..real history...just see how the London markets have changed..I think even Smithfield is now moving soon...and the skyline around Tower bridge the transformation..alot of it not good!
I used to do this in the 70s from Spitalgate Market. Everything from cabbages, tomatoes, apples to potatoes. All had to be sheeted then up the A1 to my bosses greengrocers shop in Retford.
I bght some potatoes from the market a few weeks ago, from Leeds market , they were quite nice, i had them boiled with butter, mind you potatoes aren't half as good these days, not like when my grandad was a lad
Isn't it wonderful that perhaps we are the first intelligent creatures in the Universe who can see and hear what was happening in the past as though we were there...
Today many people don’t like to touch fish. My roommate’s kids complain when I buy fish for dinner. They also complain about meat, but they eat burgers with bacon and fish chips.
My old man yused to drive those old three wheels scammel scarabs for British rail who went on to be called national carriers I'm sure they had an electric version in yellow
Hello John. All these are available on the Look at Life DVD's and can be bought on Amazon, Ebay, Simply Entertainment. All brilliant and takes me back to when I was a kid. Hard to believe how the UK has changed since then. Let's just say I would go back in my Tardis ?
@@chrismaynard6016 i weren't born until 78, the 80s, and 90s were good for me, and even a few years into the naughties weren't bad, but i love watching these movies and in a strange way i wish i was born 20 years earlier
Spring Amatul Smithfield is more central next to the City/"Square Mile"...close to Holborn area of central London. Plans are to have it relocated to somewhere on edge of London (logistics of having it so central playing a part on the consideration) and the building being developed into a "new" Museum of London" which is looking at having a new purpose-built home with more space.
+ Mike Berg Londoners that's who, all those white Londoners who moved out to Essex, Kent and Hertfordshire leaving London to the none white population ... white Londoners deserted London over many years moving out to the shire counties ... that was only ever going to lead to one outcome London was going to be mainly none white ... Londoners only have themselves to blame, they deserted the capital for better pastures and the result was whites drop to under 50% in London, that's what happens when British whites leave in large numbers, no good complaining about something Londoners bought on themselves.
Do you ever ask yourself how much of the white people in that film were native White? Are you unaware that England had an influx of Irish, polish, Hungarian, Czech, Jews etc throughout the 20th century? You assume that they are all native English - shows your total ignorance
You are right but the truth is that I was born near Brixton and Peckham in 1954 and never heard a foreign language spoken on our streets until circa 1971...so they could not have been that prevalent ( does not include the excellent 200,000 Jewish populace ) @ @@tdonovan4735
Yep, very true, AND our bathroom habits were somewhat questionable too. Not an overweight person in sight though, and look how quiet London was then! Nowadays though it's the British slaving away to pay for the colossal amount of 'unemployed' and non English-speaking third-worlders who've arrived with their sectarian, religious and cultural absurdities, including moving to somebody else's country and expecting them to adapt, not vice-versa. It's hard to see how Britain will ever recover from what Bliar did inviting in millions of people who had no idea how life was going to change, the poor things.
Most of these people would have been in the war...you can see it in some of there eyes but there still working...no ptsd claims here just work hard and try to forget
I have not seen any plastic pallet shrink wrap and no plastic containers. In todays globalized world cucumbers in the supermarkets are wrapped in PLASTIC!! WHY??? My late mother used to shop every day and she would walk there ( could not drive till 1974 so no car) pulling her trolley. It would take about 15 minutes there and she would buy all her meat, fruit and veg loose. There were brown paper bags but she would just get the produce weighed and it would all be put in her trolley. Even the meat would be wrapped in paper and then in a brown paper bag. Was climate change mentioned then? I dont think so!!
Good.....work for meal on the table and eat for work energy ...and round and round and round...life cycle....... that is life......as long we keep enjoy our life and accept that as a part of our life Process .... to become something that we never know what would it be....Ce sera sera
@TheRenaissanceman65 Another twerp/Guardian reader/Marxist who loves to hand over the Country to invaders. Traitors like you will not be around in a hundred years when the indigenous Britons are a minority in their own lands.

@@TheFreshSpam i can see by your remark you have no respect for anything. why call me a spastic? thankfully iam not disabled but you assume iam because i said somthing you did not like. clearly you are a very entitled would be free loader who thinks everyone knows nothing only you. i maybe be wrong but i bet you are about fourteen years old and sucks up to mummy and gets what ever you want. well my little snowflake do your home work and when you have the brain of an adult come back and i will try to educate you about life. and by the way my spelling and grammer is crap i dont need you to tell me.
@@davidhumby Ahahah, classic over thinking and enduglence in your own home cooked arguement. The fact you take the word spastic so heavily and rely so much on its meaning really goes to show me your level of brain power here. I don't expect you to think much further than googling the meaning. Without really looking into the context here. My point still stands, and it's stands proven. In both sense of the terms ( Globalism and your spasticated head if you've forgotten ) You haven't got a point to say and only scrape at the bottom of the barrel analysing a simple word, you are literally a spastic, the word you contest If I had no self respect for anything I'd walk away from this hilarious exchange. Why help a poor head like yours understand why it's angry? Ignorance is bliss right? 😅 Icing on the cake is the fact you also cuss me too. Who's the worse one here? ( Before you answer, have a think first ) Oh and you like your own comments, whos the real loser
@@davidhumby Ahahah and how's that? You cant tell crap from your own ass yet alone the differences of what Globalism and the EU is. Rock on baby brain, im sure it's gotten you real far in life 😂 I mean you must be struggling if you hate the EU. ' Those darn elites ruining my useless depressing life' Oh and you still like your own comments. Ahahaha , discarded with contempt? More like desperately looking for validation
Hannah Taylor , maybe but, look at the facts Britain has changed out all recognition over a very short period of time and the population has never been asked if that's okay . When and who will decide when it's enough ? Personally I think it should be a multi racial society ( as race is only looks ) and not multi cultural as cultures clash and one culture thinks they are superior to another like the ........... Muslims
I agree it is not the colour of your skin it is the values and culture you bring that matter. I would have every culture in this land except one. Look at the state of the middle east to know why.
