Yeah, but for the extra penny you get an underage prostitute thrown in.
Wasn't it great when... Page 2
thought was the mcdonalds olympics deal?
When children had to put some real effort into searching for a discarded copy of Razzle in the woods instead of going to Pornhub.

An underage prostitute with TB.
When all this was fields.
You could leave your doors unlocked - because you had f**k all to steal in your squalid ricket filled tenement.
You could walk the streets at night without worrying about muggers - because the Nazis were dropping Doodlebugs and blowing your neighbours kids into tiny pieces.
None of this 'Health and Safety' nonsense - asbestos, thalidomide, DDT, nuclear testing, choking smog, black lung disease, etc. - all of it made you manly and then dead.
You knew all of your neighbours - including all the criminals, alcoholics, wife beaters, slum landlords, ration book thieves and the woman who could arrange a backstreet abortion.
Children could play in the street - because everyone was too poor to own a car and paedophillia was hushed up.
Shops were closed on Sundays, half day Wednesdays and Christmas Day - people respected these traditions so strongly, that as soon as the 'Paki Shop' opened, everyone flocked to them in droves and then hypocritcally moaned how these traditions are dying out.
They really were the good old days.

For a lot of black people in Hackney, the good old days were before 'whitey' returned in droves and began driving up flat prices and poncing about in their Hoxton Chic.
The riots were as much about the changing face of the Borough then anything else.

So you're saying the 'face' is getting whiter?
That's just down to our crap summers.
Wasn't it great when you could by a new album and read the liner notes and look at the album art while you listened to it?

It was OK, but given the choice I prefer having a gazillion hours on a chip the size of a thumbnail to 24 minutes a side on a massive lump of scratchiness.

Ah yes, fondly remembers.... then really remembers and has a panic attack.
