HISTORY BROMLEY 1985 - Serving The People - Part 2

Nostalgia trip Part 2. A look at public services, people and places in the London Borough of Bromley, England, United Kingdom, in 1985. Look at the old style computers in the school, with green on black screen, and no internet, shock horror :). Music video to start, then (at 4.05mins) the second part of the local tourist board type film 'Serving The People'. An endearing, sometimes amusing, public information film broadly focusing on the virtues of Bromleys public sector. At one point, regarding the councils role in our lives, he mentions 'the solemnisation of marriage', is it me, or does that sound funny :)

Only costs about £2.9 billion to run London Underground every year, but the fares are sky-high now. Military spending by contrast is £54.6 billion this year. Couldn't the LU be made free with some of that money?

Hello, thank you for sharing Bromley. It looks very nice in Kent. REgards.

Bromley is nowhere near Kent. Kent ends at Sevenoaks

[@mcharrisment4765]

It was nice here many many moons ago.
And without sounding like a know it all Bromley is well and truly in Kent

No mobile phones, all the people are attentive.

I'm happy now don't get me wrong, But these were even happier times

+mikey p It's interesting looking back. Ask any generation and they will always say the days of their youth were the best times of their home town or where they lived at that time, their parent will probably have said the same and their parents before them. I watched footage of an 80 year old woman talking about Bromley of her youth, the footage was filmed in 1985, and she talked of how it had changed and wasn't the same anymore. It always happens. Nostalgia is a wonderful thing though, its like Photoshoped reality. I love nostalgia, as you can tell from my posts :)
