- Shot in the early 70s with a clockwork camera...music by Belle and Sebastian and Richard Thompson
Special Note. This was shot mainly in the West End of Glasgow and in the town centre. Also I managed to catch some footage from the dustmen strike of 1975 when the Army were called in. Just a couple of young lads out with an 8mm camera. No attempt or claim that this is a documentary. - ภาพยนตร์และแอนิเมชัน

No idea how this appeared on my feed, but brought back memories of my generation. I was 19 in 1976. Loved the Harry Worth impression. All the 'youngsters' shown in this will be like me, in their mid 60's by now. If I'd known it was going to be this hard, I wouldn't have bothered getting old.
I used to drive these buses out of Knightswood Garage. Exact fare only.. I used to get offered cans of beer for the fare to Drumchapel !
Thanks for posting a wee snapshot of a while ago.
must have made for some interestng conversations
This takes me back. Skip the bus or train into into town for a bit of mischief then a platform ticket home. Changed days. Love my city always.
Never even been to Glasgow but that was some awesome footage and good tunes. Really was like stepping back in time 👍
Nice one!
I did the same as well. Mid 80's used my Radio Rentals freebie - hire of a video camera for a day.
I just took Vids of my area, no rhyme or reason and no documantary style. Just a youngster messing about with an early Video camera.
Good stuff to see your footage online. At least generations to come will be able to view it!
bloody great film....a wee gem mate....B and S suits it perfectly
Great wee film and thanks for sharing it 😎
My god so many memories flooding back
Brilliant. loved the soundtrack as well. (I was born in '66)
Thanks for posting, I enjoyed watching and its good that you included footage of the army being sent in to clear the rubbish from the bin strike, also liked the soundtrack from B,S, a good Glasgow group.
thanks for the comment and glad you liked it Tom
Thanks. Really takes me back!
David Stevenson glad you like it
hey pitchfork.......the film is glasgow and the soundtrack is the song 'the boy with the arab strap' by belle and sebastian...followed by richard thomson. I tend to forget there was a group called arab strap. So thanks for pointing that out to anyone who might be confused or didn't see the titles on the main frame. ps belle and sebastian do know about this post as well
Great video 👍 great music 👏👍👍👏👌
thanks
thanks...it was so easy the day we filmed it...makes me wish i did more.......i meant to use my own music, but after seeing it with arab strap i can't really change it !
Brilliant stuff...👍
i was in glasgow last in 1967 and i would love to go back and see how it has changed....
We don't want you to come back..
We were glad when you went away
Glasgow has lost its Glasgow-Ness as well as its scottishness, it's not allowed, cause it's offensive to non weegies...well boo hoo

Strange how in the 90s the 70s seemed a long time ago but now seems like yesterday. Tempus fugit. And it fugits faster every effing day!!
Thanks for uploadind this vid. I grew up in the west end and remember the bin strikes well. All the mice and rats everywhere.
thanks Dougie...those bins strikes were quite a feature
superb stuff
Just seems like yesterday, even the cars still as fresh in my head, brilliant before technology spoiled conversation haha.
hi Joe...strange.....but I can't post it either...I've posted it before so there must be some sort of bug on it...or a new filter in FB..I tried debugging it..but no luck...any ideas?
great video & song
All the elderly men watching tbe young man with envy in their eyes wishing they can go back and now that young man looking back wishing to go back too.
My mother was a young woman back then and my dad was in his 30s. I would think them to be free my mothers mother ran the show in her life as her dad passed away when she was young. She made she sure she would marry young to my dad after them meeting in the hospital. She claimed her mother threatened her to be thrown on the streets if she refused. But my mother was said to always be a odd one even since she was little. I know her to be a sociopath narcissist myself. I also know my mother to lie and twist the truth to suit herself regularly. So I'm not sure what the truth there is. But if it were true her life and choices wouldn't have been free back then she had no choice but to become a nurse back then she claimed. I always felt her freedom must have come when she walked out on my dad but she had it free in their marriage all along she ruled the house she put out the orders nasty orders such as beat me up abuse me use me as a scapegoat murder and slaughter and dump the pets... everything was about her being served when I was growing up and she wanted nothing to do with us she constantly wanted us to serve her or not be heard or seen. And she constantly blamed everything on my dad while abusing him and spending his money on her own luxuries and our family into bankruptcy. Then when he ran out of money she left and got money through my brother and I. And left the adult children with my dad as I know now it would cost her to take them on rather than give her child support income unlike me and my little brother. Oh how things only got worse from there... but for me going out and travelling around whenever I liked feels like freedom... because I was trapped indoors 24 7 and made a house slave for my mother since I was a little girl. So freedom now is having my own mind feelings choices freedom will etc... I see family and groups as restrictive as like those times when it was the norm and not treated as abuse and neglect.
My mother and dad married in 1970 and had my brother in 1971 and my sister in 1973... my mother murdered another sister between 1978 and 1982. I believe it was between my two brothers who were born in 1976 and 1980 because she has had boy and girl and boy and girl but my family claim it was before my sister in 1983 was born. My brothers gave me the hardest of times for being born because the family did not want me. When my little brother came along everyone favoured him most and said it should have stopped at him but I should not have been born. I think it was the another sister envy conflict thing. My mother set siblings up again each other she did it also by setting favourites but she changed it often to start conflict most of the times it was females against males. She was also herself envious if female rivalry even with her own daughters. I got a lot of that abuse for that very reason too. Even at 6 years old when I had no idea why I was hated so much and abused for no reason. I thought people nowadays generations now adays was getting more abusive an disrespectful but it really has always been the case. I think the 70s was when the corruption began. That was when manners and maturity and respect and that stopped and everyone for themselves began. They were not as loud in the 60s around it as they were in the 70s there was a balance there between those with a older generation background and the young who took over.
I noticed in the 70s video and throughout my childhood too that there were quite a lot of elderly about maybe it was not because there was more of them just that they are retired and have no work or study like the younger people or adults have so they get out more... but nowadays there are less of the elderly there are more youths and kids everywhere I've noticed. Strange times...
Anyway
Enough babbling.
Your mother sounds like an evil manipulative narcissist.I hope you’re a happier person now and have got to enjoy your life,also getting to love your pets without her killing them.🌿🌹🌿
💔❤❤

I miss those old commer vans
Trying to share on fb and having no luck.
Belle & Sebastian...Sound just like Donovan...
I remember it well, if you walked in Parkhead with your boyfriend they would give him a kicking for no reason other than because they could. It wasn't enough to seriously injure but a few bruised ribs.
As a young male growing up in Glasgow, this was a well-known occurrence.
@@davidcampbell3642 Yes for sure.
Before I left Glasgow in 1978, a period of indiscriminate slashings became the local pastime. Glasgow is not held in great regard by this native son.
However, you can take the boy out of the Calton but you can't take the Calton out of the boy. I never returned.
I was 13 in 1971. I recognise Botanic Gardens and Cleveden Rd, and remember warching the army drive a long line of these trucks up to the Rubbish Disposal Works at Dawsholm Park during the binmen strike. Our bit of Glasgow was rather less threatening than where some of you folks seem to have lived !
Green white & gold corporation buses, sitting upstairs at the front at the age of 5 smoking a cigar given to me by my mum & paying for a 7p ticket to go & see my grandad in Knightswood.
aah well matt. an over zealous Mum.....i hope you can forgive her.......I hope the training was worth it
Nothings changed a bit heehee
A simpler way of life with no tech 😏
More inconvenience too.
could have been anywhere, pretty poor excuse for a 70'sG;asgow film
well dave..it was Glasgow and it was the 70s...so no excuse required....but at least you have made your point.
16sillyducks it was brilliant
West end pish, that's hardly representative of Glasgow of the 70's
hi George...yes mainly filmed in the west end
The west end is in Glasgow so it counts. Stop being a reverse snob.
