Whitsun Playtime Aka Mods & Rockers Clash At Margate (1964)

[@ChrisSmout]

Very unsettling how little has really changed along the Margate seafront!

Love how the perfect kiddie what playing with a toy machine gun while the narrator put down long-haired hooligans.

Update 2023 - A gang of mods and rockers had to be separated by care workers after they started throwing walkers and cusions at each other in their care home in Margate, (near the sea front). Apparently this was the result of an argument about who gets to eat the last orange jellybaby.

It all seems very twee now, but imagine if gangs of "Drillers" and "Grimers" descended on your town on a bank holiday weekend....

[@James-hz5ef]

Drillers and grimers 😂😂😂

[@jelboy1]

Well done the Mods. Hate all those Greasers.

[@johnross2924]

[@louiejonesponation]

I’m more mod than rocker, but I still have a little bit of rocker inside of me; I guess I’m a Mocker or a Rod, which one?
