Music.

Driving.

Less violent crime.

Healthier food shopping.

The high St was actually interesting, but tech like hi-fi, telly's etc was prohibitively expensive.

Fags n booze were relatively cheap.

A working man could buy a house, raise a family with a housewife and may be run an old banger of a car on his wages.

But to buy a fridge or a colour tv you'd need to save for ages.

Credit was hard to get, Hire Purchase and tv rentals were normal although this started to change in the 80's.

Thinking about it most of what I said applies to the 70's

It all really started to change with Thatcher and the financial big bang.

Yes they were really polite to LGBTQ people back in the 80s and 90s.

I think a lot of people look on the past with rose tinted glasses, myself included.

Do you not remember when there were almost 4m people unemployed in the 80s or when it hit 3m in the early 90s?

I think a slower pace of life. Listening to my older siblings and parents, there seemed to be a great social aspect to life that today has been replaced by online idleness and isolation.

Of course I do.

I remember 3 day weeks, powercuts, rubbish piling up in the streets, 18% interest rate mortgages, negative equity and banks forclosing on houses and businesses.

The strikes, the govt telling employers not to give wage rises even if they wanted too, peasouper fog in winter with all the coal fiel burning.

Jumping on and off moving buses, playing football in the streets and being told to go out and play and walking or cycling for miles until it got dark when stranger danger didn't exist.

Being different, gay or just supporting the wrong football team could get your head kicked in, but knives were unheard of outside of criminal gangland clashes.
