That poor wee old man pawing his radio and buying it back again when he gets his tiny pension and having to pay the interest every time was so sad. God bless him. Then the woman with ten kids living in squalor. That is real poverty. We are so lucky nowadays.
We should all watch this with our children so they know how lucky we are nowadays, god love the Henry couple, his wee transistor radio and his poor wife can’t hear and their wee candle to go up to bed together, least they never brought kids into that awful way of living
@@edwardogrady6587 I'm now thinking of 1970. I would have been 19 years old I worked for vanda beauty counceler as a warehouse man . A fantastic job in a showpiece company in skelmersdale . I think my salary was maybe 20 pounds a week before tax with all the overtime you want . I could easily pay my rent .went out boozing and womanising 4 times a week and drove a big car . God I miss those times . It all changed in late 70s with mass unemployment .3 day working week bread strikes sugar strikes petrol strikes . Even now I miss the 60s and early 70s

So sad. And yet the people are so resilient. Really brings a tear to my eye.
Heart breaking
Those children would be grandparents now listening to there grandchildren piss and moan about not having any WI-FI and stuff.
Good old days !!!!. Thank god we all wear rose tinted glasses.

Capitalism really is cruel.
Mrs Henry was lucky she was deaf.....that was a shite, shocking song!
Mr McMillan isn't fit enough to work but he certainly has the energy to to knock out the kids.
And they like their cigarettes
I see the McMullen family at 8 mins can afford the cigarettes
13 pounds a week salary . When was this filmed?
judging by the narration it would seem like 1970, hard times without the troubles let alone what was to come in the next 10 years
