    I was born in 1968 and my childhood was all the way through the 70's. Just brings back these amazing feelings inside. I love watching them but it makes me so sad that I'll never be able to go back. I'm so thankful I was born to experience this amazing time in our history. Kids today haven't got a clue.

      As kids growing up during that era, we all had proper childhoods then - and they were all rough and tumble and stark and austere and filled with equal amounts joy and fear (of strangers and scary public information ads) as you would expect....but there is such a huge difference between the post 80s generations and what we had from the 1960s-1980s. Fittingly, we had great music and TV to go with it. Those glorious Halcyon days of our collective misspent youth..... Modern life is rubbish really.

    Pulling a bird in the '70s was so easy... you just stood at a bus stop eating a Twix and a stunning, complete stranger would run the entire length of the road, straight up to you and literally beg for those three inches of yummy badness. I had a friend who spent the entire decade standing at bus stops eating Twix. He died a virgin in 1981 of a heart attack, weighing 27 stone.

    It’s great to look back at the old adverts when I was younger, I had a great childhood growing up in the 70’s and 80’s. Although it’s like looking through rose-tinted glasses.
    But I also don’t like living in the past. There’s so much choice we have today and everything is so much easier, it’s so much better living positive and happy, than moaning, being miserable and negative.

      Paul Marshall Twix, yes, but not “all other snacks” - quite a lot of them are larger now than they were 30 years ago. Cadbury’s cream eggs are actually 3% larger than in the mid 70s. The reason you think they’re smaller is simple: when you first had them you were about 7 years old - you’ve got bigger, it’s not the snacks that have got smaller.

    That rabies advert scared the bejesus out of me, I was scared of all animals 'cause everyone that got rabies were apparently 'foaming at the mouth'. Ive never came across or heard of rabies since in UK.

    The Twix advert always used to enrage me because it wasn't just a fucking *snack* like the other *snack* bars.
    It was a chocolate bar and it was always sold next to things like Mars, Marathons, Double Deckers and Topics AND cost the same.
    The actual snacks were little things like Penguins, Breakaways, Clubs and Trios.
    Twix really were taking the piss.

      My brothers were bought a grifter and a chopper apiece for Christmas from off our nan and grandad. And me, a got a girlie shopping bike 😫 not very good for pulling wheelies, no matter how hard I tried. But I had to be grateful, which I was, that we had really lovely grandparents who made our Christmases great.

    00:49 In this video ... I So wanted a Grifter for xmas when I was 11 in 1979 they were about £85 (A fair chunk of money back then ) ..BUT my dad was just a humble coal miner and I had 4 other brothers so it was out of the question...

    • @stephenroney6490
      @stephenroney6490 6 лет назад +2

      My dad was a miner as well. I was 11 in 1979 and at Christmas 1978, when I was in the primary 7 class and some guys were going to go to Belgium for a week over Easter. I wanted to go and also to get a new Raleigh bike for Christmas. I was told one or the other, thought it through for 10 seconds and settled on a bike. It had white tyres and a white saddle and white handle bar grips and full length gold mud guards. I got a dynamo set for my Christmas from my 19 (nearly 20) year old brother, Jim and my 24 year old (nearly 25) sister Betty back from Hong Kong with my brother in Law Andy and nmmy 16 month old nephew Craig, after 2 years,. They gave me a komono and a remote controlled tank. At 11.(I turned 11 on 14th December) the Raleigh bike with the adjustable seat and handlebars, even at the lowest was still high up for a wee 11 year old boy and it meant I was balancing the bike on my tiptoes. By age 15 the bike seat and handlebars even raised to its highest level and setting and by then my knees were nearly hitting the handlebars. It then sat in the shed for a year until the summer of 1984 when my brother sold it without my consent for £10.
