1990 Glasgow street scenes - บันเทิง
The city centre seems busier then before online shopping.
Get emotional watching that for some reason. Excellent upload.
my time in my city, oh how I miss those times
Superb. Year of Culture amongst other things...........just interesting seeing some of the old Kelvin and Strathclyde buses there!!
Possibly the last time you see pedestrians without their faces superglued to smartphones.
What can be done? Parents and schools can do more.
Did you make that comment using ur smartphone 🤣🤣
What's your point.
Shut up boomer.
@@stevengallagher635 Shut up.
nobody is on the phone ahhhhhhhh refreshing
Walk under the railway bridge (the Heilanman's (Highland man's) Umbrella) and it's Victor Morris, armourer to the neds. A window full of swords, crossbows, batons and assorted lunacy.
The year when Rab C Nesbitt first came out!
City centre was cleaner back then. Thanks for posting.
No it wasn't...
Buchanan street was a dump back then. They completely renovated it between 98' and 2000. Lots of the buildings have been sand blasted since then too. I'd say the city centre looks far better now. Merchant city and the west end are also far different now. M city didn't even really exist back then.
I was there, and It really wasn't. The filmic footage just makes it look cleaner, but it was actually filthy and is much better now.
Crazy to think if you were only 30 then, you're nearly 60 now.
Hard enough being 15 then and 44 now
Am an exact match 😕
Just like I remember
The good old days I used to spend all my money in the arcade machine that was there under the glass roof and also in TOWER records I once went for a JOB In Pizza Hut in argyle street I can’t believe it’s still there… wonder where my old friends are nowadays Paul,John, chazz Alan would be great to know they are all WELL from Chicago meatpackers
I keep expecting to see Gregor Fisher and Tony Roper.
Very good quality
Would be better with sound tbh
The bus I use to get back from town to Drumoyne was the 23A.
Things were a lot quieter back then
yellowfolder Are you being sarcastic?
I know you're taking the piss, but in reality, they actually weren't. Vehicle engines were louder in those days for one thing.
@Big Ounce I think revolver must be one of these millenials on the autistic spectrum who can't understand concepts such as satire or sarcasm. I'm starting to think that there's some truth in the whole MMR/autism thing now.
I started my first job that year at B&Q. I was 16 and they paid me £60 a week. It was a good job to get (at that time)
I did my work experience in John Menzies lol.
Some say the guy at the very start of the video is still on his mission .
Had forgotten about Mayfest.
Do you have any footage of the Pollok Centre?
Watched the video - brings back the 1990 memory of a Tenement bearing the slogan
'Never mind the Pavarotti - What about the Poverotti !' - Weegie humour at its finest!
I was 20 just a fresh faced lad clubsene just kicking off great times
Not a mobile phone in sight.
Nor a one way system either!
@Steven Holt That's almost as dumb as watching footage from 1900 and saying "Not a Prius in sight".
@Rumblefish One of those "morons" could be a teenage girl who was in a dangerous situation and was able to call the police using her phone. I'll take the hit of her being glued to it the rest of the time as any decent person can see that it's a fair trade.
Traffic lights are the same
@@Syklonus Next we'll be lauding the idea that everyone walks around wearing a helmet just incase they fall over or get hit by a car. The old fashioned way was to shout or scream for help - a mobile phone is useless if someone wants to mug or hurt you.
First thing u see a pair of old drunks
Everbdy is talkin abt phones but how white it was on the streets at the time lol
Some of them people , have probably died now .. if u don’t like other skin colours , then you’re white women should reproduce .. stop with you’re hidden hatred , it’s people like u who start fires ..
Before Africa arrived
Sharon Scott Sharon hen Africa already arrived way before that cause Africas the human spawn point
@@shanabeg8359 White women used to reproduce when both parents didn't have to work just to pay the fucking bills!
Only ethnic minorities we had then were Pakistani and some Chinese. There was nobody around to demand that we change all the street names and tear down statues.
Are most of these streets still there? Visiting there soon, would like to go round these streets.
Those streets will be practically unaltered, same buildings different occupants. The people look surprisingly similar but no minorities, no fatties, no phones.
Routemaster bus at the end of its life in Stagecoach livery.
0:12 quality polis.
the old 5a bus to faifley!!
0:45 - what street is this?
Trongate
Where is rabb c nesbitt
Mayfest was a great way to pack-out club's to 5am and packed like our's above old Nico's Bar Bistro,a packed hoose in the 1988/1993 era with many students that made our great club a powerhouse of class DJs like SLAM and back then they had 12 of them fighting to be on our Deck's. In it's glory with a capacity crowd 5-nights a week we had never a single fight or trouble cos if ye wanted awe that ye went to the Savoy or Sticky Vikkys just along the road up Sauchiehall St,a time when that god awful Boat was on The Clyde full a nutters then swapped for the N/Castle one for some weird reason as it had many different owners as we just had way to many club's & pub's like The Outhouse to The Sub-Club & Fury Murrys & The guy even owned Treasure Island with his office's for wages and accounts upstairs all gone noo. Everytime Walter the owner of all these bar's & Clubs opened a new bar or club it was an all out staff affair ''especially a free bar flung-in '' he was a self made millionare with Gypsy parent's that not a lot knew about and god bless this GEM of a guy who sadly pased away just a few year's ago,as i moved to Canada not long after our club RAIN was sold to a group a men with Colin Barr at the helm which went nowhere and all gone and only The Massive SUB-CLUB left now ....Love + Miss you Glasgow and will be over come next summer with my grown-up kids & a great Curry as you wont get any better Curry Night Than Glasgow as Cafe India was a family Fav but dont really think it will be still there noo ..... Awe the best folks 0/
Whereabouts was Tesco's in Glasgow in the 1990s??
TheAstronomyFloyd in the pollok centre.
Christopher Drennan just there seems to be no recollection of it at all
TheAstronomyFloyd I know yeah.
Christopher Drennan do you have any pictures of it at all?
TheAstronomyFloyd no sorry mate.
Such a beautiful site ,my people white Scottish,same culture and values ,oh the good auld days
Well things change .... those people are probably dead now anyway , and new people have come .. it’s called life ..
Just before Blair came to power and flooded us with all sorts
@@georgerichardson7728 Blair's the best Prime Minister this country ever had.
@@Revolver1981 Stay off the drugs, or visit Iraq and say that !
Haha well it's over now, cry yourself to sleep buddy. Things change, it's called life.
see the grant arms/ dump
Well the weather is still the same I see 😂
where did the guy at the start go to..... he vanished hahahahaha
Taggart Era
Certainly an improvement from the filth and squalor of the 1970''s .
The busses are going the wrong way. There is no right turn there.
That's because this was before all the one way shite you see today.
Mr K I guess it is easy to criticise traffic problems today, but the grid system of Glasgow and Edinburgh new town are really not compatible with cars. Cars would get nowhere fast if all streets were both ways. You would spend forever at every set of lights.
We have went back words from them. Even the police looked respectable. For comparison Dubai was a desert then and compare Glasgow to Dubai now.
Not many wearing Sun Glasses or Sun Screen is there?!
It's Scotland, what did you expect?
We didn't even wear it when we had heatwaves: everyone ended up lobster red and had peeling skin a few days later.
It's weird because everyone in Scotland these days are very very very tanned.
NO SOUND. WHY ? *
Surprised they found it in colour and your complaining about sound?
No phones. No teens lol
DJBoy Nothing wrong with teens out the issue is people are pissed off with industrialisation and technological advancement so when people say “ah they’re too busy on their phones” they’re actually connecting to their friends
Thats cool but it certainly aint 1990. Glasgow never had open buses in 1990
You mean the routemasters? Quite a few companies bought a load of them when the buses were deregulated and repainted them. So, there were indeed such buses on the streets in 1990.
No change then...lol
Prety
The new generation is not as nice and humble and genuine as the older generation. Glasgow will soon be like London everyone will be aloof and act more superior.
What a lot of utter shite! The older generation is typically a lot less tolerant and far too egotistical for its own good - and I say that as a 42 year old.
Spoken like someone that spends too much time on Facebook and barely knows any young folk.
Less disgusting modern architecture
Hardly any Asian
well peter Tobin ghosting the polis? Aye m8 nae terrorist just a wish for Rab c n’ Jaimsie Cotter???
shitole
