I was about 11 at that time and sat next to a girl called Emma at school, we had gone through every class for 4 years sitting together and were good friends and we always used to talk about that 'monkey series'. Around this time we started fancying each other as well but when we finished junior school her parents took her to Australia to live so I never saw here again. Whenever I see clips of 'Monkey' I always think of her and wonder how her life turned out? Aah young love lol
Hi! I bet every time you see or hear Monkey magic Ema flashes through you rmind instantly ....I so wish you could find her again.... I bet she often wonders about you too...... I have pinned your comment at the top in the hope and fate that maybe one day Emma might just come across this video! Thank you for shareing that and wishing you a lovely Thursday! Keep well Sonique 📺🤗
@@RetroReminiscing Aah thank you, yep I think she was the one for me but at that age I didn't realise. Its quite possible that she married and now has a different surname which is often an issue when tracking down the fairer sex. Her name was Emma Jane Wilson, and whenever she was in trouble for talking in class or not tidying up, I always told the teacher it wasn't her but was me. I got into so much trouble for her, but one teacher ( a female) kind of knew, and whenever I said "Miss, sorry that was my fault", the teacher just replied "Of course Gareth, because Emma can do no wrong can she"? lol. I really hope life worked out for her down under and she is really happy.
I remembering going home after being at my friends house and had to phone her landline three times to let her know I was home safely 😂 I really miss the 80’s
@@MoonSpinners Oh yes the landline phones and reasons/ways we would use them..your comment rand home to me ! ha ha I remember doing that with them too! Iwould give 3 little cut off bells just to let someone know something like a mores code but on landline hahaha Brilliant comment, thank you !! Happy retro Monday ! Sonique 🤗

Exact and i wish things could be slowed down a bit these days...theres too much stress and panic which in return causes depression and anxiety ...i could go on.... but yes ..much happier simpler relaxed times Thank you for this great comment and take care Sonique
Oh snap So would I and the older I get and more I look back..the ore I think along the same lines as yourself in this comment...Thank you for this and passing by! Have a lovely evening, Sonique 👍📺🤗
I was also 15 in 1981. Stuff like this is tinged with sadness when I think of all the Family that I have lost but it also makes me happy because it wasn't such a bad time in the early 1980's when everything was all to come in life... Sadly, there has been more time passed then there is left for us of this age.... Lol, this sounds depressing, enjoy every day and if you can't wake up stiff wake up with a smile. 😁
Hearing the BBC news theme there... I would be 9 in 81...Id be in bed and hear the BBC news theme coming from the lounge and hearing my mum and dad discussing what they were seeing on the news. I was in bed all safe, warm, happy and my parents within ear shot was the most beautiful, comforting feeling ever. Miss my parents :(
Strawberry Sunday, what you just described i can relate with 100% ! It was almost as if you were describing what I personally remember!! I also rememebr hearing the evening news from my bedroo and my mum and dad talking about things...and laughing at things on telly ... I also remember hearing tales form th eunexpected theme tune starting which would give me the creeps in a way as i always found t a strange peice of haunting music... I now actually love that theme tune and have it set as my ring tone! ha ha I really liked reading your memory related to the news and being all tucked up sage in bed hearing your parents not far away...all safe...and happy ...in those days too when we went ot bed, we actually went to bed to sleep ..not stare at a mobile phone for hours listening to music full of swear words in it ... W e took in and absorbed our surroundings more as we werent fixed to a screen...Thank you for your great comment and i those safe times too so much and would do anything to be zapped back even for 2 minutes in that front room with my parents and hug them again ....Have a great evening and sorry for your loss of your parents x Sonique
@@RetroReminiscing Yes, the days of no social media and going to bed to sleep because we were knackered with playing outside in the fresh air all day. I feel sorry for kids now days as they will look back and most wont know what it was to play rounders, kerby, roller skate, climb trees, go on adventures, catch tadpoles, have water fights in the summer. Us Gen X-ers were so, so lucky. xx
Nice comment!! Can’t beat being with good parents and family and feeling safe in your own bed. It’s heaven in comparison to the stress of being grown up! I miss the 80s!

I was 8 and this brought back so many wonderful memories of all sorts of things from that era. Modern world is pants compared to these glory years. Take me back!

I wouldn’t.. id be at home living with terrible parents in England , miserable and not allowed any friends because my father was a lying crook and always hiding his lies and crimes.
I used to tape the Top Ten off the radio and listen to it every night 😄 If my parents were out I would ring my best friend and play it to her down the phone with the receiver on the hall table while I danced around 😂 Great memories of long lost times !
Morning, yes I prefer back then any day and things were less stressed and fast paced....summers seemed longer and hotter unless that was because i was younger it seemed that way ha ha Thank crunchy its Friday today hope you have a great day! Thanks for watching, Sonique 😁👌
Exactly!! The 80s was the golden era of childhood and great movies. It’s heartbreaking sometimes what modern kids have missed out on. These Mobile phones are synonymous with the brain washing technique in clockwork orange!! Kids are clinically depressed for the sake of just playing out, climbing trees, riding their bikes, building dens, and making friends with everyone on the street like we did. Much simpler life!
Very easy ha ha Your quite right..hardest part would be getting up to push the chunky button down onthe tv set ha ha or actually get up out of the chair 😆🤗
@@susi-emilyTV was more entertaining then when compared to the dross on hundreds of channels these days. As Bruce Springsteen said '57 channels and there's nothing on'.
What a great nostalgia trip! I was 11 in 1981, and Duran Duran became my favourite band. Seeing the clip with them being interviewed by Peter Powell made me smile.
I was actually 10 in 1981. I miss the 80s so much!! My sisters had all the Duran Duran posters and cushions and scarves. It’s hard to put your finger on what it was that made the this period so special. Wish I could travel back in time.
Remember finishing work at lunchtime on Christmas eve that year. A couple Watney Specials down the White Hart, then Sarah Ling, then Jason and the Argonauts on TV, and all before even thinking of getting ready to go out that evening. Thanks for the memories
Thanks for watching dropping by here....and especially for shareing those memories.. love hearing about peoples memories , even more so when it involves the 70s or 80s ha ha Thanks so much! Have a brilliant weekend , Sonique 👌📺🤗
I worked in a shop and that Christmas eve I was allowed to finish an hour early as there were no customers coming in after about three o'clock. Everyone had either gone up to the large town, or had settled in for the duration. The next year it was busy up to closing time though.
I was 18 in 1981 - The Tomorrow's World clip is a real indicator of how technology has taken over our lives! I even remember the time before answer machines 😮
This is a great peep back to the early 80s. 14 in 1981 and totp was still the most important tv show to watch, we wud all talk about the previous evening edition at school on friday morning. Great memories of simplier times.❤👍
@@undividedorchestra She didn't say there was no use for tech or that she didn't use it herself, or indeed that she didn't use it willingly. Taking over lives doesn't mean it is entirely, or at all, without our consent. I would say that you rather support her point by using this example. We routinely use the internet whenever we are bored or curious, not to mention increasingly having to use it for every mundane little thing, taking over from physically going places or using the postal service. Obviously there are big upsides to that, but it means we are reliant on technology which is vulnerable to hackers and to imperfect internet connections (I don't lose my home internet connection as often as I used to, but I lost it briefly last night and this problem has been happening every so often in recent months). All kinds of services are being moved online, it is hard or impossible to do some things nowadays offline and so people are virtually forced into buying smart phones capable of using the latest software (I bought a £35 one 6 years back and it can't run the latest Android or whatever needed for various services). There are a couple of problems with that, the admittedly vague one of is it healthy for us, mentally or physically, individually or as a combined society, to be spending so much time on our phones, and also the more objective problem that the better phones cost a heck of a lot of money don't they, and income inequality has been rising for years and lots of people have little or zero spare cash to spend on gadgets. Though of course they sometimes do anyway, even to the neglect of basics like heating or good food, because we are otherwise effectively locked out of social circles or accessing/managing important services.
Morning John, do you ! Well I dont blame you one bit...and so do i all the time! Music and artists then were all so different and unique with actual story lines for lyrics ..today they all try to sound like each other ..... clones everywhere with lyrics we can hardly understand ...thank you for your coment , enjoy your Tuesday and tae care!
@@thedukeofnuts Yes but how to find what you want to watch? There are a million programmes/films to watch on various streaming services, but if you want to come across something new then it is harder than ever to sift through the dross (not to mention you need to fork out money for each different streaming service).
Oh i know.....things have esculated to a whole different level now.....and very fast paced to the point of stress and exhaustion mentally and physically ....Thank you for your great coemmnt and have a lovely safe Tuesday!
Things were pretty awful then, too. But somehow, we still found our escapes from it all. There's no escape now. Added to that are the burdens of age. So, yeah, despite the unemployment, inflation, threat of nuclear war and the bloody birdie song, I'd still go back in an instant.
@@noggintube That makes total sense 👌and its only when we grow up and experience these things ourselves that we look back and realise that being an adult isnt actually as great as you thought and full of downsides.... 👌🤗
Health and Safety was at its worst during this more socially Conservative decade than the two before it. But the grit and toughness got me through the early 10s as a late developer into Adulthood struggling with Millenials je ne sais quois type fun at the time. Especially dealing with interviews and being more effective. Mindset change.
Well edited, what's strange is I'm more nostalgic for adverts and old TV logos and theme songs. With the movies and TV their quite easy to get hold of without ads so reminiscing is easy with them but those ads from when I was a kid just stick in my head all these years later
HI, they do don'they 👍 Im one for the theme songs 👍 and its crazy how many our brains store..and the wording, lyrics, each chord. not heard for many many years, yet can sing along to every word when re hearingthem all this time later.... Happened ot me with the Lilt advert and a few others similar ... Thank you for your comment, my best wishes and a great evening, Sonique 🤗📺🎶
I thought I'd never hear that bloody Birdie Song ever again. Now it's going to be roaming around in my brain box playing endlessly for the next several days, I just know it.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA I feel a slight sence of guilt having been involved in this terrible crime ha ha ha Thank you for leaving this comment which gave me a good giggle this morning, Have a great day and I hope the melody has ow worn off......Sonique
Thank you!!!!!! This is a great peek into the past. I used to have lots of old VHS tapes from my childhood, but they've since perished lol. The country seemed so innocent and naïve back then. It is a time lost, preserved in clips like this.
Morning! Thank you for leaving this great comment and stopping by this retro channel 🤗 What a shame about your old cassettes being destroyed!! That has happened to me, I left some stored in a garage and the rain got through the roof and they all got water damage so I was really upset about that....Yes back then the country was very innocent and naive like you said comapred to now...Its just one crazy unnatural fast paced world now ....with lots of presures... Have a lovely Friday! Sonique 🤗📺
@@RetroReminiscing Yes, I totally agree. Social media has a lot to answer for as it has made a lot of people quite lazy when it comes to actually physically seeing people. My favourite platform is TH-cam, as its just like a huge TV, and people come and go. People aren't dependent on TH-cam for keeping in touch like other apps. Thanks for sharing memories back to a time when we all used to get together in person hehe
@@DigitallyRemasteredMusic Tthat's so true as well! yes he physicall side of seeing people..... everything is robotically almost done for you these days and although it can be handy to be able to see a relative instantly on a video call, I actually quite miss the antisipation and excitement when we used to have waiting for a physical letter or birthday card to arrive in the post Thank you for commenting 🤗😁👍
@@DigitallyRemasteredMusic I know ha ha ! It reminds me of when saturday superstore used to be on or similar shows and they wold show you an address where you had to write in with your answers to a competition and they would put all the post cards or letters in a bag to pick one out n the next show ha ha ... 😆 But I miss all that ...anticipation and value of things and people 👌
@michellefalleur960 I always preferred The Water Margin. The eight hundred heroes of Liang Shan Po. Or the half dozen of them that we actually saw. Burt Kwouk narrating and that fantastic theme tune.
@@michellefalleur960 Morning Michelle, I just checked and it states that monkey magic ran from 1979 to 1980 👌Hope you had a nice evening and have a great Sunday 🤗
Thank you, so sorry, I should have looked it up myself, (- derh brain), for some reason I thought it was made earlier, ( I know it was aired until about '84 ? ' cos I remember watching it then, think on ch.4 ?) thank you so much, you have a lovely rest of the weekend.
The Tomorrow's World clip was fantastic, thanks for showing it in full. What a quality show. Explain things in a simple fashion but never treating the audience like a child. Anyway, hope there is some Brookside next year ☺
I have just made a new upload for 1984 and i have put brooksdie in with harry cross ha ha ha How weried you should mention that! Oh and yes I agree with all you said about Tomorrows world and i loved that show...Thank you for these great words and have a nice new week to come Sonique 📺🤗

@@solsol1624 I loved it!!! I once travelled to Brookside close to look round all the houses after it had been abandoned so to say...I had seen that lots of people had visited it and could even walk inside some of the houses ...but when i got there, they had just put a big barrier up as they were about to start work on them to be re sold so it was bad timing for me....Long wasted journey and i would have loved to have walked round that close where we watched all the goings on on telly! Sheila Bobby,Harry Edna, Heather,Sinbad,Barry,Terry,Jimmy,Damon,Pat, Paul and Annabel, loved it!! I hope you have a brilliant new week! Sonique
I remember that episode of Crossroads, Benny found an unexplored bomb on his allotment and put it in his wheelbarrow, took it to miss Diane as a surprise, took out half of Crossroads Motel and put Sandy in a wheelchair. Benny was fine.
That's brilliant you have remembered that particular episode ! Thanks so much for commenting on it and thank you for having watched it Have a great Monday , Sonique 😁🤗
You are so right there too of course really as well. It may have been because unlike now then there was not so much of it and perhaps better quality with it too? Today there are of course so many more channels than then, and they all seem to run all the time it seems, which may be why that is too I wonder?
Oh yes....Duran Duran were a big part of our lives in the 80;s wern't they he he Thank you for passing by and your great comment and you are right it does only feel like yesterday 👍🤗
I remembered the lyric to the "Just Juice" commercial 42 years after last hearing it, yet these days, I can't remember why I just walked into a room! LOL
Yes, me too , i htought the same thing and sang along to the full thing as if it is something i hear on a daily basis ! ha ha It must be the catchyness of it..either that or they used to play it on every single commercial break hahaha Thank you for this comment !
1981 was the last year Blake's 7, ATV, Southern & Westward Television were on the air as well as being was Tom Baker's last year as The Doctor. Being a time of three channel television with Channel 4 launching the year after with Teletext televisions & conventional push button televisions sitting next to each other in television stores such as Rumbelows. It was a different era.
Gary thanks a lot!!! Im so pleased... im glad i managed to take you back in time to when you were 15 again for a short while , enjoy tonight and thanks again , Sonique 🙏🤗📺
Ah good times, 1981....I was only 5. I use to love watching It's a Knockout. It was even great to see members of the Royal Family getting involved as well.
Ahh same here! well depending on the months Id of been between 5 or 6 My mum used to have a right laugh at its a knockout id sit there with her watching it .....Lovely days ......Thank you for this comment and Happy Friday to you ! Sonique 👍🤗
I loved the TV series 'Monkey'. Also there was a similar one a little earlier called the 'Water Margin'. I think good old Bert Kwok did the voice overs.
I really loved Monkey Magic!! I found it so mysterious and unique...very dreamy, strange but great! and the music intro and outro too for it! Thank you so much for your comment and the voice over info! Have a brilliant evening and Sunday , Sonique 🤗📺👍
Water Margin is well worth a go, about 40 or so episode. Is an epic revenge/justice tale and I honestly believe my own moral code is at least 20% from the intro/outros. There's a torrent knocking about, if you're in to that sort of thing ;)
Arrrrh The Water Margin, the theme tune was great but everyone would turn it off after 5 minutes. I think it just wasn't translated very well or something because it made absolutely no sense, just a load of guys waving different coloured flags running around chasing each other. For what reason? Well that was anyone's guess.. lol
Hi! He was yes and very unique ha ha He was like our 70's version of a Keith Lemmon ha ha Hope you have a great MOnday evening and thanking you for leaving this comment! Sonique
HI Rebecca Thank you for this comment, yes Mork and Mindy ...even just hearing his voice ...gives me flash backs of my parents having it on telly and me sat there watching it ....miss those days a lot and glad you liked seeing it back on this retro upload! Have a lovely evening and weekend, great we have the memories of our past! Take care Sonique 🤗📺
@@RetroReminiscing thanks for your lovely reply. 😊 Yes seeing the clips made me wish for the past as things so different nowadays. Hope you include Worzel Gummidge sometime. I watched it originally but wasn't a fan but am now!
I remember that Japanese tv show Monkey i thought was a weird show but i liked it. It was shown on BBC2 at 6pm i think then immediately after The World at War docentary which i found really interesting to watch and learned more about about world war 2 than i ever felt i did at school. I also used to Laurel and Hardy and Hooray for Harold Lloyd i used to love those shows. Then on a Saturday morning before Saturday Superstore i used to watch Champion the Wonder Horse. Mork and Mindy really miss Robin Williams. When the continuity announcer reminds you to switch off your tv reminds me of a Billy Connolly joke when he did his An Audience with Billy Connolly and his manager said to him stick with me Billy and one day you'll have your name lit up in pink!!!!
Evening Theresa thank you for this, and I too found Monkey Magic a little strange yet i was drawn to it at the same time...I loved the theme music too to it ..and when you mentioned Harold Loyd, I oculdnt wait to reply as I always watched that and i can still hera the intro music to it now and I can see him now hanging from a big clock face just dangling off it ha ha Glad you mentioned it and the others which gave me fond memories of watching them and my mum and dad too ..Thank you very much and enjoy your evening, take care,Sonique 🤗👍
@@RetroReminiscing yes I remember the Hooray for Harold Lloyd theme music and his hanging off the clock face.

We had two aerials for our TV as we were on the border of ATV and Granada. By physically swapping cables we could get either. One Christmas my mother watched and rewatched Gordon of Khatoum on consecutive nights by doing this.
That ad cought my eye the way they showed it overtaking the Mercedes 200 W123. That would be a very slow car even in the day, but very superior in every other way.

oh yes a better world if you ask me iwas about 12 years old everybody seemd to be happier back then.................. but time doesnt stand still for nobody unfortunately
It's weird to think that programmes likes, 'Tomorrows World', held very little interest to me, back then, but watching that clip about answer phones with Judith Hann, really drew me in. They did have a lot of crap on TV, back then, but they also had a lot of good programmes, too. We certainly didn't have wall to wall options or coverage, though. We made the most of what programmes were on, generally speaking. Unlike now, where we're satiated with content to the point where there's so much to watch, but nothing worth watching. I suppose age is a factor, too. If I were the age I am now, but back then, I probably wouldn't have wanted to watch half the stuff I did watch, back in the day.
Certainly remember watching tomorrow worlds on a regular basis. Someone will correct me if I am wrong but have the feeling it was always on a thursday night after top of the pops, so about 8pm? I think television back then like most media it had more importance, due to it being one of the few ways we had learning about anything going on in the country and the world. Also will say that most television back then you generally watched as a family due to only having one tv, and it was a case of watch it while it was broadcast otherwise you would miss it as video recorders were not in every home.. good old keep fit tv’s as well, none of this change the channel with a remote control, physically getup to change it over… great video though and certainly brings back the memories for a lot of people. Doubt very much todays television will have the same sentiment for many in 40+ years time.
@@ricl7413 I believe Tomorrow's World was on at 7pm on Thursdays, then followed by Top Of The Pops at 7.30. There would be a sitcom on next or something like, 'Blankety Blank', then some other show up until 9pm for the News. Thursday evenings were a little bit special for me, back in the mid to late 70's at least, as it was the one night of the week when I was home alone. Everyone else had somewhere to go, so I could watch whatever was on offer. It was generally only a couple of hours, but it felt great to be able to have the TV all to myself, back then!
@@ricl7413 HIh , yes i am sure it was on back to back with top of the pops..that seems to ring right with me..or if not i am sure it was the same night though ...and yes i remember going over to physically change the channels and we had those big clunky buttons you had to force down to change to oone of three channels or 4 channels after channel 4 began...I loved it all though and miss it ..Thank you for passing by for the watch 👍📺😁

I’ve just watched a video from 1988 of somebody driving around Watford, with very sad music in the background (Mahler) and it has brought a tear to my eye, I miss the 1980s so badly!! 😢. The odd thing is that although I am middle aged, for some reason I can almost feel the 1980s, as if I can reach out and touch them, it feels tangible. I love all 1980s videos, thank heavens for them. Grateful that these precious memories are here for us to watch whenever we feel like it. But I do wish I had a Time Machine, like so many others. I would go straight back to those times without hesitation.
I know exactley what you mean there and me too...as if you can reach out and touch it is a great way of putting it ....thank heavens for the memories we can watch back on,and the ones we will have embedded in our minds forever .Thank you for commenting your thought and i wish you a lovely Thuesday 🤗

I was only 5 when that aired but I remember it vividly, I remember thinking oh my god he’s going to get in so much trouble for that, wasn’t there also another time when he took it off him and bent it then gave it back
The glorious "in-between" stage before video recorders became the norm (even though some people had them by this time) You had to be in front of the TV to see a film or go to the local Odeon, great memories of yesteryear!
The "Tomorrow's World" clip is just like my manager explaining a new app and procedure that will come into play the following day.....everyone looking at each other and scratching their heads

Interesting collection of channels recorded. Thanks for sharing. I have seen some old videos of British TV channels back in the 1980's from a friend who had moved here to Australia from the UK around that time. However, you seem to have a far larger collection here. Incidentally, I love the vintage phone answering machine commercial.
HI Lovely to read you r comment and hear about your friends collection 👍😀 I also love the footage about the answer machine and how fantastic it seemed to everyone back then..well it was fantastic to us all back then wasnt it ha ha 😆🤣Thank you very much for taking the time to pass by and comment too! Have a great day/evening , Sonique 🤗
I was 7 in 1981. I find it fascinating to see how primitive and rubbish answer machines were at the time. Leaving voice messages is something we take for granted now. Oh and then later in the video it was great to see Golden Brown by The Stranglers. That's one of my favourite tracks of all time.
Golden Brown just takes me mentally o another dreamy place literally!! I never get tird of hearing it ..Love it! Glad you liked it too and yes so primative compared to now with all the tech we have..instant live video calls etc.... back then it wa a case of waiting for a letter a few days in the post ha ha Thanks for leaving your comment Andy 🤗🙏🎶
Thank you for the Video. I was 18 at the time. Watching it made me feel quite melancholy. Sat next to Frances in Economics. My affection was not returned though.
Orrr...Isn't it funny how seeing or hearing certain things, images, songs etc or smelling particular perfumes can trigger instant memories of someone form our past ....and for a moment or so its like we are back there again literally .....Thank you for this comment and I bet Frances remembers you 👌🤗
@@RetroReminiscing You are absolutely correct. Many things, both good and bad, were happening to me back then. All the things that you mention can trigger an emotion or a memory. Even though i am happily married, i often wonder what happened to Frances. First love and all that.😊
I really really do wish with every oz of my being I could go back to back then and live in real Britain 🇬🇧 its awful watching our amazing nation being drained of her culture and way of life. If they ever invent a time machine id go back to the 80s ❤
My ultimate dream!!! one that unfortunatley I know will never happen in my lifetime ha ha I can dream .......hahah Thank you for this comment, and have a lovely safe Thursday ...and if you find a time machine any time soon, please let me know ha ha !
God no, Thatcher, miner's strike, having to listen to Arthur Scargill, IRA bomb attacks every week, 3 channels, tons of waste land with derelict houses, awful cars, not being able to get money out whenever you wanted, everyone smoking everywhere. I'd take today to be honest, despite all the craziness...
It's funny and great to see slightly older versions of the ads that I would come to know. I was born in August '78 and so I'd have been 2 going on 3 that year.
Hi Russell yes i know what you mean and appreciate your comment a lot..I went on my very first holiday to Malta in 78 which beleive it or not i rememebr being at despite being only 2 and a half (ish) Have a great evening! Sonique 😁🤗
The roles have certainly reversed now. These days it's the motorists they're aiming at rather than a child not using the ol GXC. Coming up with tosh like 'Kill Your Speed! Not a child!' As my late father would say "What a load of tripe and bollocks!" 😁
Thank you so much for leaving this comment and i always LOVE hearing peoples memories or ages you were at the time and things you remember Have a lovely evening and take care, Sonique 🤗📺
It was weird seeing Jimmy driving around town looking for kids not using the Green Cross Code. P.S. You can play your phone messages when stuck in a traffic jam on the way home - people could multitask in those days.
Good Evening and thank you for having a look back these 80's tv memories! Hope they brought back good times for you, have a lovely night and keep well, Sonique 📺🤗
I was about 11 at that time and sat next to a girl called Emma at school, we had gone through every class for 4 years sitting together and were good friends and we always used to talk about that 'monkey series'. Around this time we started fancying each other as well but when we finished junior school her parents took her to Australia to live so I never saw here again. Whenever I see clips of 'Monkey' I always think of her and wonder how her life turned out? Aah young love lol
Hi! I bet every time you see or hear Monkey magic Ema flashes through you rmind instantly ....I so wish you could find her again.... I bet she often wonders about you too...... I have pinned your comment at the top in the hope and fate that maybe one day Emma might just come across this video! Thank you for shareing that and wishing you a lovely Thursday! Keep well Sonique 📺🤗
You should be able to find her through the internet
@@RetroReminiscing Aah thank you, yep I think she was the one for me but at that age I didn't realise. Its quite possible that she married and now has a different surname which is often an issue when tracking down the fairer sex. Her name was Emma Jane Wilson, and whenever she was in trouble for talking in class or not tidying up, I always told the teacher it wasn't her but was me. I got into so much trouble for her, but one teacher ( a female) kind of knew, and whenever I said "Miss, sorry that was my fault", the teacher just replied "Of course Gareth, because Emma can do no wrong can she"? lol. I really hope life worked out for her down under and she is really happy.
I have a similar experience circa 1983. I was 17 and she was 19, can't track her down no matter how hard I try.
@@damodubhdar Yep they never quite leave your thoughts
Remember the times when nobody knew where anybody was most of the time. And you had to be home at certain times to watch the tv...

I was also 15 in 1981. Stuff like this is tinged with sadness when I think of all the Family that I have lost but it also makes me happy because it wasn't such a bad time in the early 1980's when everything was all to come in life... Sadly, there has been more time passed then there is left for us of this age.... Lol, this sounds depressing, enjoy every day and if you can't wake up stiff wake up with a smile. 😁
Watch less tv?
Hearing the BBC news theme there... I would be 9 in 81...Id be in bed and hear the BBC news theme coming from the lounge and hearing my mum and dad discussing what they were seeing on the news. I was in bed all safe, warm, happy and my parents within ear shot was the most beautiful, comforting feeling ever. Miss my parents :(
Strawberry Sunday, what you just described i can relate with 100% ! It was almost as if you were describing what I personally remember!! I also rememebr hearing the evening news from my bedroo and my mum and dad talking about things...and laughing at things on telly ... I also remember hearing tales form th eunexpected theme tune starting which would give me the creeps in a way as i always found t a strange peice of haunting music... I now actually love that theme tune and have it set as my ring tone! ha ha I really liked reading your memory related to the news and being all tucked up sage in bed hearing your parents not far away...all safe...and happy ...in those days too when we went ot bed, we actually went to bed to sleep ..not stare at a mobile phone for hours listening to music full of swear words in it ... W e took in and absorbed our surroundings more as we werent fixed to a screen...Thank you for your great comment and i those safe times too so much and would do anything to be zapped back even for 2 minutes in that front room with my parents and hug them again ....Have a great evening and sorry for your loss of your parents x Sonique
@@RetroReminiscing Yes, the days of no social media and going to bed to sleep because we were knackered with playing outside in the fresh air all day.

The world we live in nowadays makes me want to time travel back to the 80s.
Me too...let us find a way to travel back! ha ha 😁😁🤗
@@RetroReminiscing you both can !!!! Just type in “ Reality shifting” 😘
Exactly!! The 80s was the golden era of childhood and great movies. It’s heartbreaking sometimes what modern kids have missed out on. These Mobile phones are synonymous with the brain washing technique in clockwork orange!! Kids are clinically depressed for the sake of just playing out, climbing trees, riding their bikes, building dens, and making friends with everyone on the street like we did. Much simpler life!
@@georgedoyle2487Kids can’t play outside because all the infrastructure is car-centric and the air is all polluted, not because of phones.
It’s not hard flicking through UK tv channels of 1981, there was only 3 of them!
Very easy ha ha Your quite right..hardest part would be getting up to push the chunky button down onthe tv set ha ha or actually get up out of the chair 😆🤗
I was wondering how three channels were going to use up almost 20mins. Was more entertaining than I expected.
..and you had to get up off your arse to change the channel.
@@susi-emilyTV was more entertaining then when compared to the dross on hundreds of channels these days.
As Bruce Springsteen said '57 channels and there's nothing on'.
I'd prefer three channels of quality programes that 200 channels of what we have today.
What a great nostalgia trip! I was 11 in 1981, and Duran Duran became my favourite band. Seeing the clip with them being interviewed by Peter Powell made me smile.
I was actually 10
in 1981. I miss the 80s so much!! My sisters had all the Duran Duran posters and cushions and scarves. It’s hard to put your finger on what it was that made the this period so special. Wish I could travel back in time.
Remember finishing work at lunchtime on Christmas eve that year. A couple Watney Specials down the White Hart, then Sarah Ling, then Jason and the Argonauts on TV, and all before even thinking of getting ready to go out that evening. Thanks for the memories
Thanks for watching dropping by here....and especially for shareing those memories.. love hearing about peoples memories , even more so when it involves the 70s or 80s ha ha Thanks so much! Have a brilliant weekend , Sonique 👌📺🤗
I worked in a shop and that Christmas eve I was allowed to finish an hour early as there were no customers coming in after about three o'clock. Everyone had either gone up to the large town, or had settled in for the duration. The next year it was busy up to closing time though.
I was 18 in 1981 - The Tomorrow's World clip is a real indicator of how technology has taken over our lives! I even remember the time before answer machines 😮
@@undividedorchestrait hasn't taken over lives, you got to be a bot theres no way anyones that stupid
This is a great peep back to the early 80s. 14 in 1981 and totp was still the most important tv show to watch, we wud all talk about the previous evening edition at school on friday morning. Great memories of simplier times.❤👍
I do too, love, Love the (landline) phones with curly wires !
@@undividedorchestra She didn't say there was no use for tech or that she didn't use it herself, or indeed that she didn't use it willingly. Taking over lives doesn't mean it is entirely, or at all, without our consent. I would say that you rather support her point by using this example. We routinely use the internet whenever we are bored or curious, not to mention increasingly having to use it for every mundane little thing, taking over from physically going places or using the postal service. Obviously there are big upsides to that, but it means we are reliant on technology which is vulnerable to hackers and to imperfect internet connections (I don't lose my home internet connection as often as I used to, but I lost it briefly last night and this problem has been happening every so often in recent months). All kinds of services are being moved online, it is hard or impossible to do some things nowadays offline and so people are virtually forced into buying smart phones capable of using the latest software (I bought a £35 one 6 years back and it can't run the latest Android or whatever needed for various services). There are a couple of problems with that, the admittedly vague one of is it healthy for us, mentally or physically, individually or as a combined society, to be spending so much time on our phones, and also the more objective problem that the better phones cost a heck of a lot of money don't they, and income inequality has been rising for years and lots of people have little or zero spare cash to spend on gadgets. Though of course they sometimes do anyway, even to the neglect of basics like heating or good food, because we are otherwise effectively locked out of social circles or accessing/managing important services.
The top ten was great , i was 15/16 in 81 and I still play a few of those tunes to this day.

@@thedukeofnuts Yes but how to find what you want to watch?

Things were pretty awful then, too. But somehow, we still found our escapes from it all. There's no escape now. Added to that are the burdens of age. So, yeah, despite the unemployment, inflation, threat of nuclear war and the bloody birdie song, I'd still go back in an instant.

Well edited, what's strange is I'm more nostalgic for adverts and old TV logos and theme songs.

I really loved Monkey Magic!! I found it so mysterious and unique...very dreamy, strange but great! and the music intro and outro too for it! Thank you so much for your comment and the voice over info! Have a brilliant evening and Sunday , Sonique 🤗📺👍
Water Margin is well worth a go, about 40 or so episode. Is an epic revenge/justice tale and I honestly believe my own moral code is at least 20% from the intro/outros.
There's a torrent knocking about, if you're in to that sort of thing ;)
The water margin , there’s a TV programme I haven’t heard mentioned for probably 40 years
Arrrrh The Water Margin, the theme tune was great but everyone would turn it off after 5 minutes. I think it just wasn't translated very well or something because it made absolutely no sense, just a load of guys waving different coloured flags running around chasing each other. For what reason? Well that was anyone's guess.. lol

I remember that Japanese tv show Monkey i thought was a weird show but i liked it. It was shown on BBC2 at 6pm i think then immediately after The World at War docentary which i found really interesting to watch and learned more about about world war 2 than i ever felt i did at school. I also used to Laurel and Hardy and Hooray for Harold Lloyd i used to love those shows. Then on a Saturday morning before Saturday Superstore i used to watch Champion the Wonder Horse. Mork and Mindy really miss Robin Williams. When the continuity announcer reminds you to switch off your tv reminds me of a Billy Connolly joke when he did his An Audience with Billy Connolly and his manager said to him stick with me Billy and one day you'll have your name lit up in pink!!!!
Evening Theresa thank you for this, and I too found Monkey Magic a little strange yet i was drawn to it at the same time...I loved the theme music too to it ..and when you mentioned Harold Loyd, I oculdnt wait to reply as I always watched that and i can still hera the intro music to it now and I can see him now hanging from a big clock face just dangling off it ha ha Glad you mentioned it and the others which gave me fond memories of watching them and my mum and dad too ..Thank you very much and enjoy your evening, take care,Sonique 🤗👍
@@RetroReminiscing yes I remember the Hooray for Harold Lloyd theme music and his hanging off the clock face. Another memory came back I was especially allowed to stay up on a week night past 9pm to watch Not the Nine O'clock News remember that? Made house hold names of Rowan Atkinson, Mel Smith, Griffin Ryse Jones and Pamela Stephenson.
@@Theresabrown1805 Oh yes I do Theresa ! and i also remember that 'being allowed to stay up' past bedtime for particular shows ha ha I used to love it when that happened and made me feel like i was part of the grown ups he he he Thanks a lot for that memory and the names you menyioned too 👍📺🕛🕓🕞😆
Great upload. 1981 was a few years before I was born, but I find this highly entertaining. Thank you.
Im so glad you liked it!! YOu were born in the 80's then? Superb decade to be born in or have lived through, thanks so much for having passed by here, much appreciated and have a great Wednesday! Sonique 🥰🙏
I was born in 81 😌
Thanks for showing a full clip of Tomorrow's World. It would have been unbearable to cut it off before Judith demonstrated the latest technology in answerphones! LOL! Amazing clips, great memories. Thank you for your efforts in making a grand trip down memory lane. I hope younger people find it interesting too. Simpler, but better times.
HI that was actually one of my favorite parts of this video I put together.. I actually watched that in full and found it brilliant to watch ...imagine how we all thought that was amazing at the time!! Thank you very much for leaving a comment about it and watching what i put together, have a safe and happy evening, my best wishes to you 🤗📺
I concur 👍 😂
@@RetroReminiscing you're so nice
@@michellefalleur960 🥰 I don't do nasty or negativity with anyone no matter who it is... people are humans with feelings and i like people to feel at ease...I always go by....if you cant say anthing nucem dont say it atall...There are lots of nasty spiteful people out there who have nothing better to do than upset people but i live by treating everyone with compassion and empathy xx Have a lovely evening Michelle and thank you 🤗💐
@@RetroReminiscing I agree totally with what you think, you have a lovely day as well, not to mention, a lovely life, hopefully ! Love your work on these postings.
Wow this video is amazing, really takes me back to 1981
I was 9 years old then!
Doesn't time move on a lot faster than we think ....these days and retro things get left behind...times and poeple change but our memories of those days and people can never be took away from our minds and photographs ...Thank you for leaving this omment abd I hope you have a lovely day, Sonique 🤗📺
Being unfortunately, a gen z, this was so fascinating to watch. I really felt like I was back in time! Thank you for sharing. ❤
Thank you so very much for watching this retro video and im glad you liked it! Have a nice safe afternoon and i enjoyed reading your comment on it !
There were only three channels for most of us. So if anything it was worse.
Gen z ? wtf , stop labeling yourself such stuff
@@towhomitmayconcern6411 Exactly. Meaningless marketing labels. Not relevant to UK either.
@@thursoberwick1948 Calm down. She's just saying she's young. Jeez.
Reminds me of American Werewolf in London when David is scrolling through 3 channels in 1981 England.
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha !! That is so funny because its so true ha ha
Oh my god take me back , such great times
They really were...a different time and place .....a happier time 🤗
I'd go back tomorrow!
If you fnd a way how , let me know, im coming with you hahaha
Take me too
I was 13
Remember all of this
Got a bit emotional to tell you the truth.
Thanks for this great post ❤
Thank you Steve for leaving the brilliant comment, I 100% get the getting emotional bit...it got me making this actual video and always gets me when i see and hear things like this that take me right back to being sat in my parents living room....its an amotional trip for sure... Hope you are well and have a really nice afternoon, keep safe and thanks you , Sonique 🤗🤗📺
This made me forget for a while there were only three channels on tv back then.
ha ha ha ha 🤗📺
You seem to have had more channels to flick through than I remember 😮 really enjoyed this, thank you!
Yes..he he I thought I would combibe a few from different days and condence it all for more viewing seems as there were only 3 channels ha ha Thank you so much for watching it and also the comment Have a great Sunday and keep well and retro !
Was that Spandau Ballet on The Old Grey Whistle Test ? Brill song from great album “Journeys to glory “…. Bought it when I was 8 and half lol
It was yes, to cut a long story short , thank you for watching these old retro clips! Happy Monday to you !
Haha! Memories..... I was 21. Still hooked on 70's music though. 😂
So am I I LOVE 70's music !! So great to read your comment Many thanks ! Sonique
There was a lot more digital compression in 1981 than I remember.
Absolutely loved this thank you so much for putting this together, I have severe memory loss due to a near death infection of Covid-19 and this made me remember a time in my past much better than my today.
Size of that tin of Quality Street!
Miss Kenny Everett, hilarious man taken way too soon. And great to see 'Rocket' Ron Haslam.
Hi! Thanks for watching this! Yyes he was took too soon Miss Kenny Everett ha ha ha , and yes very funny, unique ....Enjoyed reading your comment, thank you very much and happy Monday!
Nicely edited, so many memories taking me back to being 11 years old. Good times 😊

Some real gems here.
Morning Adam, thanks for passing by and leaving this comment, Im glad you found these retro gems Have a great Friday ! 👍😁
We had two aerials for our TV as we were on the border of ATV and Granada. By physically swapping cables we could get either. One Christmas my mother watched and rewatched Gordon of Khatoum on consecutive nights by doing this.
That's actually clever ! ha ha Bet your mum loved being able to do that!
@RetroReminiscing She did! My father and I less so.
The Morris Ital price was a shock. Nearly £6,000 for the top model was serious money back then.
It was yes!💰💰👌👌ha ha 🤗
That ad cought my eye the way they showed it overtaking the Mercedes 200 W123. That would be a very slow car even in the day, but very superior in every other way.
Styled in Turin.......by copying the Morris Marina. Badly.
@@ronwhite8503 I didn’t know that. Thanks.
@ronwhite8503 My first boss had a Morris Marina. One day he got in and fell through the floor of it.
Kenny Everett and the Renault was hilarious! Nicely made.
Thank you very much , yes he was a mischievous one wasn't he ha ha
You have an amazing channel! Thank you
Hi SolarSystem ! 🌕🌝Thank you so very much ! 🙏I hope you get a watch or two out of it and some retro memories Have a great evening and keep well , Sonique 🤗
Yea all three of them. And you would find something to watch. Today a thousand channels 24 hrs a day and dam all worth watching.
Very true! Have a great Sunday and thank your that
Lol never missed an episode of MONKEY.. and how bloody big did the quality street tins used to be 😮
Huge wern't they compared to no...I was aying to someone else that Roses tins have gone just as bad now ha ha Thank you for commenting on this, have a great afternoon! Sonique
@@iaincochrane8741 Ahhh ha ha Really! Thats comical!
I was 6 at this point, I remember so much of it growing up in school. Can't believe I remembered the Just Juice and Lilt ads.
That particular lilt advert seems to have stuck in quite a few heads ha ha Same here, when i hear it...i know all the words and melod as if i have heard it every day of my life..... very catchy little tune Thank you for commenting, take care and have a great Thursday! Sonique 📺🍍🤗
Wow seeing Crossroads again was a flashback.
It is isn.t it the Crossroads music intro...thats what gives me instant flash backs from it 👍📺Have a lovely Friday 🤗
@@RetroReminiscing At least then it had the ATV Zoom 2 ident before it-in my view the best ITV ident that they ever had really somehow.
Monkey and It’s a Knockout were 2 of my favourite programs when I was younger. Happy memories 😊
Me too ! and worzel gummage ha ha
Loved the 80s♥️
Hi! Nice to hear from you and receive this comment, glad you did and , me too! and thanks for watching these retro flash backs 🤗📺
Boxes ticked back then demanded well spoken well presented quality and humour. That was all. Those qualities are non-existent today
The golden age of tv! Not like the shite now!!!!
😂👍 Have a great Monday and spot on ! Thanks for passing by . Sonique 🤗
oh yes a better world if you ask me iwas about 12 years old everybody seemd to be happier back then.................. but time doesnt stand still for nobody unfortunately
That is a way of putting it I guess so then too indeed?!
All three channels. 🙄 Even back then a lot of the content was all from America.
@@thursoberwick1948 Yes it was then so too of course really. Things like Dallas or Dynasty so then too really?
Damn l loved 1981. I lived in Forres, Scotland. Plenty of snow that year. Music was awesome. I'm sure Zorro was on Beeb 2 after school also
Zorro , yes ! I remember that being on (unless I dreamped it) hahaha Im pretty sure you are right , thank you !
@@RetroReminiscing love the channel. It definitely was on 🙂
@@DnBclassictunes 🙏Thank you !!🤗
It's weird to think that programmes likes, 'Tomorrows World', held very little interest to me, back then, but watching that clip about answer phones with Judith Hann, really drew me in. They did have a lot of crap on TV, back then, but they also had a lot of good programmes, too. We certainly didn't have wall to wall options or coverage, though. We made the most of what programmes were on, generally speaking. Unlike now, where we're satiated with content to the point where there's so much to watch, but nothing worth watching. I suppose age is a factor, too. If I were the age I am now, but back then, I probably wouldn't have wanted to watch half the stuff I did watch, back in the day.
Certainly remember watching tomorrow worlds on a regular basis. Someone will correct me if I am wrong but have the feeling it was always on a thursday night after top of the pops, so about 8pm? I think television back then like most media it had more importance, due to it being one of the few ways we had learning about anything going on in the country and the world. Also will say that most television back then you generally watched as a family due to only having one tv, and it was a case of watch it while it was broadcast otherwise you would miss it as video recorders were not in every home.. good old keep fit tv’s as well, none of this change the channel with a remote control, physically getup to change it over… great video though and certainly brings back the memories for a lot of people. Doubt very much todays television will have the same sentiment for many in 40+ years time.
@@ricl7413 I believe Tomorrow's World was on at 7pm on Thursdays, then followed by Top Of The Pops at 7.30. There would be a sitcom on next or something like, 'Blankety Blank', then some other show up until 9pm for the News. Thursday evenings were a little bit special for me, back in the mid to late 70's at least, as it was the one night of the week when I was home alone. Everyone else had somewhere to go, so I could watch whatever was on offer. It was generally only a couple of hours, but it felt great to be able to have the TV all to myself, back then!
@@ricl7413 HIh , yes i am sure it was on back to back with top of the pops..that seems to ring right with me..or if not i am sure it was the same night though ...and yes i remember going over to physically change the channels and we had those big clunky buttons you had to force down to change to oone of three channels or 4 channels after channel 4 began...I loved it all though and miss it ..Thank you for passing by for the watch 👍📺😁
@@j0hnf_uk Blankety Blank !! I remember the theme music to that so vivid I can hear it now in my head ha ha and Mr and Mrs too a bit earlier than 81 i think though... with a pink glittery set i think....Thanks for the Blankety Blank flash back! 🤭😃
As a 9 year old in '81, Tomorrow's World" was one of my favourite programmes!
I’ve just watched a video from 1988 of somebody driving around Watford, with very sad music in the background (Mahler) and it has brought a tear to my eye, I miss the 1980s so badly!! 😢. The odd thing is that although I am middle aged, for some reason I can almost feel the 1980s, as if I can reach out and touch them, it feels tangible. I love all 1980s videos, thank heavens for them. Grateful that these precious memories are here for us to watch whenever we feel like it. But I do wish I had a Time Machine, like so many others. I would go straight back to those times without hesitation.
I know exactley what you mean there and me too...as if you can reach out and touch it is a great way of putting it ....thank heavens for the memories we can watch back on,and the ones we will have embedded in our minds forever .Thank you for commenting your thought and i wish you a lovely Thuesday 🤗
First time I saw 'Monkey " I grabbed my mums broom started swinging it round Ala Monkey and Piggsy " managed to take out a lampshade and a clock from the mantelpiece 😅
THIS IS HILARIOUS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA 🤣🤣🤣 Rare i laugh this much at a comment , thank you so much for the giggle!!
@@RetroReminiscingWhich was followed up by a spot of "Mum Fu " a big wallop round the earhole lol ,,,,
My brother did that, after putting on his "Monkey" style dressing gown 😊
@@spirituallysafe Ahh ha ha ha this is just as funny as the previosu comment...this is hilarious SpiritualltSafe! When i read the dressing gown part 🤣🤣🤣I wonder just how many of us actually srung into action off the settee when Monkey cam eon and started grabbing props and gowns ha ah I used to stand on the settee and pretend it was the cloud Monkey used to fly on hahahahaha! Thanks so much for this!! and i like your youtube name!!👍🤗Sonique
The Ital; styled in Turin, Italy……jeezuz what a heap that turned out to be.😂😂
Somehow Kenny Everett breaking Terry Wogan's microphone seems less spontaneous and more staged than it did to me when I was nine years old 🤔
🤔🤔 I get what you mean ha ha 👍😆👍
Them both mentioning rehearsing the act is a bit of clue too.
@@sergioleone1375 Very ha ha ha 👍👍😆
I was only 5 when that aired but I remember it vividly, I remember thinking oh my god he’s going to get in so much trouble for that, wasn’t there also another time when he took it off him and bent it then gave it back
@@jonsharman6853 🤣Yes Kenny was a bit of a dare devil wasn't her hahahahaha 🤣🤣
The glorious "in-between" stage before video recorders became the norm (even though some people had them by this time) You had to be in front of the TV to see a film or go to the local Odeon, great memories of yesteryear!
The "Tomorrow's World" clip is just like my manager explaining a new app and procedure that will come into play the following day.....everyone looking at each other and scratching their heads
🤣Really 👍
Its amazing how many of these clips i can actually remember, even though i was only 4 years old.
It is crazy isn't it just how many things our brain records and stores in our subconscious without is realising untill we hear or see something again.... its like certain adverts i hear after 40 years, i can sing along with immediatley even though ive not herad it for years!! Thank you very much for this comment, enjoy your weekend and thank you for watching 🤗
@@RetroReminiscing thanx!

That syrup on Paul Daniels head was something to behold.

Interesting collection of channels recorded. Thanks for sharing. I have seen some old videos of British TV channels back in the 1980's from a friend who had moved here to Australia from the UK around that time. However, you seem to have a far larger collection here. Incidentally, I love the vintage phone answering machine commercial.
HI Lovely to read you r comment and hear about your friends collection 👍😀 I also love the footage about the answer machine and how fantastic it seemed to everyone back then..well it was fantastic to us all back then wasnt it ha ha 😆🤣Thank you very much for taking the time to pass by and comment too! Have a great day/evening , Sonique 🤗
Glad i was out most nights in those days
🤣😂🕺
I was 7 in 1981. I find it fascinating to see how primitive and rubbish answer machines were at the time. Leaving voice messages is something we take for granted now. Oh and then later in the video it was great to see Golden Brown by The Stranglers. That's one of my favourite tracks of all time.
Golden Brown just takes me mentally o another dreamy place literally!! I never get tird of hearing it ..Love it! Glad you liked it too and yes so primative compared to now with all the tech we have..instant live video calls etc.... back then it wa a case of waiting for a letter a few days in the post ha ha Thanks for leaving your comment Andy 🤗🙏🎶
I was 2, like it was yesterday
This is absolutely brilliant. Where on earth did you get all these clips from?
Thank you for the Video. I was 18 at the time. Watching it made me feel quite melancholy. Sat next to Frances in Economics. My affection was not returned though.
Orrr...Isn't it funny how seeing or hearing certain things, images, songs etc or smelling particular perfumes can trigger instant memories of someone form our past ....and for a moment or so its like we are back there again literally .....Thank you for this comment and I bet Frances remembers you 👌🤗
@@RetroReminiscing You are absolutely correct. Many things, both good and bad, were happening to me back then. All the things that you mention can trigger an emotion or a memory. Even though i am happily married, i often wonder what happened to Frances. First love and all that.😊

I was 4 so don’t remember much...Great TV programs..adverts though and music...Time flies...Wish it was the 80s again. 😢
I really really do wish with every oz of my being I could go back to back then and live in real Britain 🇬🇧 its awful watching our amazing nation being drained of her culture and way of life. If they ever invent a time machine id go back to the 80s ❤
My ultimate dream!!! one that unfortunatley I know will never happen in my lifetime ha ha I can dream .......hahah Thank you for this comment, and have a lovely safe Thursday ...and if you find a time machine any time soon, please let me know ha ha !
Absolutely agree with you.
God no, Thatcher, miner's strike, having to listen to Arthur Scargill, IRA bomb attacks every week, 3 channels, tons of waste land with derelict houses, awful cars, not being able to get money out whenever you wanted, everyone smoking everywhere. I'd take today to be honest, despite all the craziness...
It's funny and great to see slightly older versions of the ads that I would come to know. I was born in August '78 and so I'd have been 2 going on 3 that year.
Hi Russell yes i know what you mean and appreciate your comment a lot..I went on my very first holiday to Malta in 78 which beleive it or not i rememebr being at despite being only 2 and a half (ish) Have a great evening! Sonique 😁🤗
Always use the Green Cross Code..or the killer Morris Ital will have you.
🤣🤣🤣👌
The roles have certainly reversed now. These days it's the motorists they're aiming at rather than a child not using the ol GXC. Coming up with tosh like 'Kill Your Speed! Not a child!' As my late father would say "What a load of tripe and bollocks!" 😁
