Three channels on the TV 📺 - and the programmes were 👍
Radio 1 played good music
Fish and chips wasn't a luxury
A heatwave was welcomed
2 postal deliveries a day
The council kept the local parks nice and tidy
There was a police station not too far away
You could get a doctors appointment for the next day
You knew your neighbours
Shops were shut on Sundays
The government governed
The High Streets were booming
Men were men, and women were women
Britain was British and bloody great.
That was the past. That was Yesterday's Britain 🇬🇧, A Better Britain 🇬🇧
Nothing is the same anymore.
Take comedy, that's about as funny today as dysentery. We had the likes of Manning and Monkhouse back then, and they could make us laugh.
Football. Today's managers are dull, lifeless and void of personality. The Brian Cloughs and Ron Atkinsons of this world entertained us, as did the players.
Music is crap. Utter dross churned out by overweight, tattooed slobs.
Shopping. There used to be lovely High Streets with some cracking shops. All gone now.
People. Poorly dressed with no pride in their appearance. Lack of conversation. Just the occasional grunt as they stare into their phones.
Good manners have gone. Rubbish is everywhere. Respect for our elders.
And on it goes...
