    I used to go to that School 1973 it was at the time Shirelands secondary high school back then upper school. In 1972 I was in the all boys school called Uplands boys school because Shirelands School for Girls back then until uplands boys and Shirelands Girls mixed together in 1972. So Shirelands secondary high school upper school and uplands School is lower school so we have go between lessons either uplands or Shirelands. Windmill lane smethwick I used to live and Thomas St.

    Salut Joseline! I disagree with what you have said in the video that people should be allowed to film everything and everywhere for TH-cam Entertainment. I totally understand people want to have their privacy and not get filmed and put on TH-cam. Although I am watching your channel I just think this whole TH-cam - thing is getting out of control. People just film anything nowadays with no respect for people who aren't so passionate about TH-cam or being on TH-cam. Even if there is an accident, instead of helping, people just film it. This is the society nowadays. I do not say you are like that but in general it has become like this unfortunately. No shame, no privacy anymore. If someone for example does not want that you Film his shop inside or film the person itself. This should also be respected in my opinion.

    • @citiesthroughmyeyes
      @citiesthroughmyeyes  3 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      Salut AbdulAziz, when I said I should be allowed to film inside people's houses I was joking. I didn't put a lol because I thought that was obvious. I did several times filmed inside shops. I know these are private places and that I should ask permission first...So what I do is not legal and I am aware of that. The reason I film the shops is because when I watch old footages of Kings Heath or other places I wish I could see how the shops looked like on the inside.
      Actually, people are not allowed to film everything and I know there are limits I will never cross. And I did blur out faces or take out entire clips of people who didn't want to be in the videos or threw away an entire video. The purpose of my videos is to show different areas, streets, etc. for historical and entertainment value. And I wish I started doing that from the time I was a child so that I could keep memories of the places I spent my childhood in. Sometimes photos are not enough.
      But I agree that people's opinion should be taken into account. But if I were to ask permission to all the people I encounter on the street - like one of the viewers DEMANDED I do. I would have to just stop making these videos. It is just not humanly possible and I can't be bothered...

      In England, you have rights and responsibilities dictated by law, not a bunch of sad little men acting as if their dad build the roads they stand on. If you are in a public place you can film whatever you please no matter what weird little nonces like you say.
