In the last 60 years or so...

England today is not the England I was born into 60 plus years ago.

The mind-boggling Ames Window is an optical illusion invented in 1946

@RaggedTP This is because the policemen were acting as mindless robots that have been programmed to mechanically enforce the policies (policy men) made by their leader. They haven’t as yet given them their policies for arresting the over 60s. So everyone is arrested as if they are 21.

The 1950s was when we all knew what a female girl and a male boy looked like at school, you know, before the world went crazy.

I just remembered the smell of the fumes from my fathers car's hot petrol engine mixed with the smell of leather upholstery on a hot summers day. Oh happy days! Funny how smells can take you back in time as if it were yesterday.

Who remembers the "Tinker, Tailor , Soldier, Sailor, Richman, Poorman, Beggerman, Thief." bowls? They had indentations around the rim for the prune pips.
I guess parents wanted to keep things moving back then!

I was a Coke man right the way through to 1992 when I was suddenly converted to Pepsi, can't remember why.😍

Which one do you prefer?

And this easy to understand graphic still isn't enough for the 'experts' to say, 'just a minute, are we sure giving this to even more people is a good idea?'

At last some truth coming out

@xXxJ0DIExXx I remember my mum sitting in front of the TV crying. November 1963.

@UnicornNina A lot of people see the current systems impossible to change. So there is a lot of talk within communities, both here and abroad, that people want to set up parallel communities. I found this example online: https://t.co/JTffSCxlL0

Wasn't Ben in an earlier advert, when he was much younger?

[In the last 60 years or so... @60PlusUK]

@UnicornNina I can't say I disagree with you Nina, it hasn't worked out very well doing it the other way. There is so much wrong with our current systems, perhaps the only solution is to let it collapse and start all over again.

Oh, the Skinhead days! The Piglets released Johnny Reggae in 1971 and got to number 3 in the UK charts. The Skinhead culture among the youth in England first started about 1969 and they don't write songs like this anymore - some might say thank God for that!😀
