Window Cleaner Posted 11 May, 2012 Share Posted 11 May, 2012 Them £1 mobile barbecues like this one: not even a quid,a flat lolly stick rounded off works very well.Plus all main supermarkets give tokens if asked,they have to,discrimination if they don't,something about equal rights.When you used to have to put a real euro in to get a caddy, smart arsed kids made a fortune going round the supermarkets poking them out with an ice-cream pallet.

shurlock Posted 11 May, 2012 Share Posted 11 May, 2012 Down in Albion they're black and blue But we don't talk about that Are you from 'round here? How do you do? I'd like to talk about that Talk over Gin in teacups And leaves on the lawn Violence in bus stops And the pale thin girl with eyes forlorn gin in teacups And leaves on the lawn Violence in dole queues And the pale thin girl behind the checkout But if you're looking for a cheap talk Glint with perspiration There's a four-mile queue Outside the disused power station Now come away, won't you come away We'll go to Deptford, Digby... Anywhere in Albion Yellowing classics And canons at dawn ... Reebok classics And canons at dawn ... But if you're looking for a cheap sort That's in false anticipation It'll be waiting in the photo booth At the railway station Ah come away, won't you come away We're going to... Watford, London Fields Anywhere oh If you're looking for a cheap sort That's in false anticipation It'll be waiting in the photo booth At the underground station Good song but not a patch on John Cooper Clarke's Chickentown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SNSUN Posted 11 May, 2012 Share Posted 11 May, 2012 Lidl/Aldi, or in even more run down areas, "independent supermarkets" serving food from around the globe. (Especially Polish.) I was in Hounslow today as you can tell. CCTV on every street. Police that prefer doing paperwork. Litter next to a bin. (The bin may or may not have been set on fire.) Bus Stops that smell like fresh sex. A general smell of wee or poo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rocknrollman no2 Posted 12 May, 2012 Share Posted 12 May, 2012 Years ago there would have never been a subject like this,because most people would have lived in similar areas and everyone would have roughly earned the same and all had the same outlook on things.Sure there were richer places to live,but most of us would never have had the chance. Its a sad day that we now look down on people because they are in different circumstances.The trouble nowdays is most working class people now think they are "Middle Class",because their salaries have risen higher.I bet most of these new middle class spent their childhoods on council estates.Now im all for people being able to better themselfs,but while doing so,dont look down on others who cant or havent the ability to do so. This snobbery is a direct result of the selfish Thatcher years and the way the greedy Tories have told us how to live. Very sad indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rocknrollman no2 Posted 12 May, 2012 Share Posted 12 May, 2012 The Delldays and Dune,you make goods points and i cant argue ,but i feel you are both missing the point i was trying to make. Years ago you never had the class snobbery you have today.Just because someone has a council house,this doesnt make them a lowlife. Perhaps people just stuck together more than they do today?

Very sad indeed. i agree and i was born in 1955 and lived in the flowers estate when it had a great family community on the estate but saw the decline in the 80,s when the high unemployment and drugs culture took over and the rise of the me me greed culture took over.

Suomi Saint Posted 13 May, 2012 Share Posted 13 May, 2012 You have all just described where I was brought up in the '60's....minus the sky dishes of course. On the whole, the people on my estate were very friendly and there was never much trouble. However, I received a lot of negative comments at school, which was due to the fact that most of the kids came from an "affluent" area. The joke was that these areas weren't really that affluent at all. People are snobs, always have been and always will be. But it's good to laugh at yourself, and I enjoyed reading some of the observations posted on here - quite funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps a difference , in that in the 1960's the occupiers of the estates described here were considered predominantly hard working, working class etc rather than the 'scrounge' culture that now exists. "Never much trouble.." another difference in times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I grew up in the 70s so I saw how society changed big time in the 80s and its values and that 80s the very rich grabbed a bigger share of our wealth which has carried on ever since.

Barney Trubble Posted 13 May, 2012 Share Posted 13 May, 2012 Youths having a penchant for riding about on mobility scooters. This seems to be the latest chav craze sweeping the council estates. I don't think you need road tax or insurance (not that'd make much difference anyway). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
