Brought back a lot of memories. I'm 53, so the same era,definitely better back then.
Born 1950, and now in hindsight, it was better, no social media telling you how shit the world is, no kids being stabbed almost every day, no mugging, scammers, pedos and general lack of respect for other people, it was a more social time, and relaxed, people weren't all about material things but rather just enjoying their more simple lives, for me, music was also better, as proved by music of my times still being popular, Sabbath, ELO, Supertramp and many more, I miss those times. 🤗👍
Definitely rose tinted , it’s because of social media and 24/7 news we now hear about it all, it was as rife then if not more so as it’s now policed more intensely
@@DMAEmmeryJohn not rose tinted, rather how lucky I was for it not intruding or being part of my life, if I look back in hindsight I see his things were different, but that doesn't affect my lifestyle then, sorry to have had such wonderful memories of life of then, yours was obviously not as good, or are you looking at it with the knowledge of today???
@@adamboro35Yes, but we didn't have it then, so it doesn't affect how I feel about my time back then.
@@gregevigan Stabbings then/now, muggings... Shootings... Pedos... Druggies... Scamming... Theft... Cars stealing... If you wasn't born then you're talking shite if you think things were worse then than now.
@@DMAEmmeryJohn Who said no pedos???
You bought a tear to my eye in this one Lee... Your mum and how happy she was.. When you said you miss your mum.... We lost my mum just after the new year January 9th... Your mum was a lovely soul bless her 🙏

The Golden Shot with Bob Monkhouse. He would say “Bernie the bolt”. And then left a bit, right a bit, fire!! 😂

Good Evening Gentlemen. I really loved this video of looking back and and having a Good Remenissing of Times gone by. My Childhood was a really Good one with my very Loving Mum and Dad, who i miss, so, so much. Television programs where so much better then. None of this Stupid PC rubbish. Back then in the 1970's and 1980's two of the Best era's of my Life. The music, The Fashion, Playing by our local river, swinging over the river on a made rope swing. Going on very long bike rides. Sweets and Chocolate Bar were much better and a lot bigger back then. I really did use to love watching Crackajack, Play School, Magpie, Blue Peter, Thunder Birds, Captain Scarlet, Jo 90, those were Great television programs. What has happened to Television today?? The Inter Net has completely Destroyed any last bit of Nostalgia today. Technology has taken over the World as we know it. But, I still say You never forget Your roots. They made You. I always Will remember my Beautiful and Caring Mum and Dad. Thank you for listen to my memories of Nostalgia. Big Respect to You Lee and Dave my Friends.
Thank You Jonathan.
You are always Welcome Lee. I am really loving wearing your MacMaster T-Shirt, feels Great to wear it Lee. Thank you very much my Friend. Give Dave my regards. ☺☺☺🤓🤓👍👍👍👍👍@@TheMacMaster
Thank you😎
Your Welcome.😎😎👍👍@@LanzaJB
Brilliant vlog Lee and Dave such great memories really enjoyed listening to the nostalgia and so nice to see the clip of your beloved mum bless her xx👍👍
I’m English 🇬🇧 and have lived in the USA 🇺🇸 for over 30 yrs. When Americans start reminiscing about old-timely candy 🍬 and TV 📺 I always have to tune out because I didn’t grow up there. This is the the flip side of that for someone who grew up in Yorkshire in the 1970s. 😊
That was the quickest hour. Loved every minute. Brought back loads of memories, especially been treated to a Chinese takeaway on a Saturday and getting to stay up to watch starsky and hutch. 😊
Absolutely fantastic nostalgia trip back to the better days.
Loved this! Real trip down memory lane. 80s deffo the best. Could add so many things you didn't mention. More please.
This has been an ace watch you have made me feel old 🤣
Brilliant video Lee, brought back plenty of memories. You should do more stuff like this.
Spangles and Weekend chocolates. This is brilliant, well done to both of you xxx
Fruit Spangles, kola cubes, pineapple chunks, Pacers (like Opal fruits but mint flavour), rosebuds, cherry lips, Bazooka Joe bubblegum which had a tiny comic storyline in the wrapper, sherbet dabs, fruit salad chews. I remember going into my local sweet shop and asking the shop keeper if he had aniseed balls. He said he did but he got some cream from the doctors for them. 😂😂😅
Pacers!!!!!!! Yes Green I think
@@TheMacMaster If I remember they were white with a green wrapper 🤔
Yes!!!!
Love Thy Neighbour..
This has brought back so many happy memories, thank you. Used to watch We are the Champions as a child feeling jealous when everyone jumped in the pool at the end
Honey Puffs, if you've got a Mr Simms traditional sweet shop you can get all those old sweets. It was easier to shop back in the day, go round the supermarket, pick up what you wanted, go to the greengrocer, butcher, fishmonger and pay in cash. Go to the electric or gas board shop and choose your new oven, fridge, tv etc. Try out beds, sofas etc. Have a catalogue for your clothes etc. No apps, mobiles, computers. I sound like a little old lady, I am, lol.
Born 1944 so growing up in 50s/60s no tipy tapy. Wagon wheels could use them for a trolley they were so big. Happy days
You've got a window seat & you're going to Australia. You kept that quiet 😉😂
I miss the old days. The 80s are the best. Love watching your videos and look forward to seeing more of videos 🍴☕🍜🍛🍝🥘🙂😆😂😁🦘🦘🦘🦘🦘🥩🍗🍖🍔🧆🥙🌯🌮🍕🍟🥨🥪🌭
In the 50s, I had an erestor set. Nuts, bolts and aluminium frames with which you could build anything. I bought the additional motor and built a robot that rolled around the room.
Maccano
Much better back in the day Lee. In the 60s I loved Mrs Peel (❤) and Mr Steed in "The Avengers". I also loved Ronnie Barker and Richard Beckinsale (well the whole cast really) in "Porridge". There's so much more I could mention in the comments. A lovely clip of your mom too and a great chat with Dave.
Your lovely Mum ❤
Thoroughly enjoyed this, born in the 50s brought back so many memories, thank you 😊
I love going back on all the old tv programmes and all other stuff really enjoyed that xxxx
Yes, Dave should do one call it the good old days . We enjoyed going back in time
Thanks Linda watch this space kindest regards 🙏😎
Brilliant! Yes, he should do a podcast, very likeable guy like you are Lee 🙂
Forgot to say, it would be great to mention Benny Hill for comedy and the Friday night classic, Hammer house of horrors and drama Within these walls. Fantastic tv back then.
Robinson Crusoe in the six weeks holiday, Great theme music.
And don't forget The Flashing Blade. Do do, do do do, do do, do do do.
T ~ Today
I ~ Is
S ~ Saturday
W ~ Wakeup
A ~ And
S ~ Smile. That was Tiswas. Loved that show, with the Phantom Flan Thrower.
This was absolutely brilliant Lee. Love a bit of nostalgia, and my favourite road in the world is Memory Lane. Life in the 1980s was so much better than today. Everything was simpler, more innocent, and just nicer. I miss the old days.
Thanks Matthew.
The last time I was in the USA, they were selling a limited edition of the snickers bar, called the "snickers marathon". I was outraged. They should never have changed the name from marathon in the first place. 😁
Blimey, so much here and the memory is pretty impressive. Right.....Jamboree bags, Tiger Nuts, Black Jacks (Because they were black), big Wagon Wheels, Mr Whipy Icecream, Oysters, Munchies. TV.... Man in a Suitcase, The Prisoner, Thunderbirds, Captain Scarlet, Captain Pugwash (Don't delve too far into that one), Fireball XL5. I'm not sure if some of those weren't before the 80's.
Really enjoyed the video. The edit clips were great. Thanks Lee. ..... Dave JB should do a vid, should be interesting.
"The Green Death" was the one with the maggotts, set in a disused Welsh mine, with an oil company causing polution.
Tom Baker's first wife was from round your way, and the family did own a garden centre.
What a fantastic video this was love a bit of nostalgia nice one guys 👍
Very enjoyable video, and yes things were so much better then. I'm surprised you can't remember The Golden Shot which ran for around 7 or 8 years late 60s to mid 70s and hugely popular. Bob Monkhouse, Norman Vaughan and Charlie Williams all hosted it at various times and it was famously broadcast live which was fun when things went wrong.
Mmmmm Sally James...

In Australia we’d run home after playing to watch the Goodies, Kenny Everett video Show, Doctor Who and Monkey It was all on ABC. Great nights with the whole family
The swinging sixties you don't know what you missed lee love. ..x and rock and roll memories ❤😊😊
remember skippy the bush kangaroo.
Yeah! Bush Kangaroo
Hi ya Lee,loved the clip of your mum,made me a tadge sad. Only still photographs of family passed,but memories still intact. On a brigher lighter note loved the window sign @200 degree's coffee shop."Barista School" i learned how to make a cup of coffee, without going to school 😂Nostalgia ain't wot is was😮 I was once told by Spike Milligan, when i say me, there were a few folk around ( i was doing the catering at a party) That happiness was a yesterday 🤔 thing.We can always remember the best holidays, the best birthdays and that Fabulous Christmas when i got the bike AND the cowboy fort& soldiers. But Lee way back when you and i were younger, i once called you a middle class spoilt monster in one of my comments on a vlog,and my i was right!! But funnily I still like you ( most of the time not EVery day mind) just a thought for your mate Dave.Action Man,one Christmas it were all i wanted,Christmas morning, a well wrapped present size and shape of said Action Man,opened it,only to find it empty.Dad said it was the A.M deserters addition 😂oh how we (?) Laughed.side note re " The Golden Shot " in the Australian version Warren Mitchell AKA Alf Garnett was the host,and once called it on air the golden s**t.😮 This has been one of your finest, Dave,just used a line my dad used 240 pennies at night 100 pennies in the morning 😢😢Where did they go!!! Bloomin'eck Lee we need a few more like this( or get Dave to start a podcast 😅) Many,many thanks Allan&Family
When Edward Woodward was introduced to Noel Coward, Coward allegedly remarked, 'Edward Woodward...? Sounds like someone farting in the bath!'
Dave sorry but had to correct you 39.50 min ,the ozzy band was Black Sabbath ,ACDC is Brian jhonson 😀
Randall and Hopkirk
Deceased :0)
@@TheMacMaster Called "My friend the ghost", in America because they didn't know what deceased meant apparently.
You could buy bars of Cadbury Milk Tray, my favourite piece was the barrel with a lime filling. Also Cadbury Bar Six. You can still buy Camp coffee. I still have my Matchbox collectors case full of cars. I remember sitting outside on a sunny day with a magnifying glass and a piece of newspaper and burning holes in the paper by catching the sun with the glass 🤣🤣
In 1977, I took a photo of Jaws as it scarily popped out of the water as our boat went past at Universal Studios. When developed, it turned out to be a brilliantly defined image but showed a big chunk of polyurethane missing from his snout!😀
This is the best video i.ve watch in years great entertainment hjs 51
Thank You
Cheers Henry 🙏😎
Lee this was great !! I’m 55 and in a little over a month away from 56. I grew up a few miles west of where you lived in Hoboken and still live there ( Paterson ) watching this brought back a lot of memories, all the Tv shows like Cannon , Rockford Files , The Equalizer that I watched with my father in the 70’s & the 80’s. Tv just ain’t the same anymore , only one good comedy on Tv and that’s Young Sheldon , it’s all talent shows and reality crap. In the last 20 plus yrs there’s only been maybe 5-6 good Tv shows on like Two and a Half Men , The Big Bang Theory and it’s spin off Young Sheldon , Mom and couple of others. The 80’s for me were a blast , high school ( 82-86 ) house parties , weekend camping and sitting around a fire eating & drinking beer with friends or your girlfriend. The 90’s were pretty good also , got a good job and made great money and then the 2000’s came and it all went to hell , pc this pc that. I still live in the house I grew up in , lost my father in Jan 2020 & Mom in Sept of 21. I sit here sometimes and wish I could go back in time to the late 70’s , when I’d get up in the morning, grab a bowl of cereal and go out the back door into the back yard and grab my BMX and hear my mother yell to me from the back door you better be home for dinner. I miss those times !! What I wouldn’t give to be able to go back and relive them days.
Great days. I know Paterson. :0) Loved Hoboken.
@@TheMacMaster next time you come back over to this area you gotta hit Patsy’s in Paterson for their pizza and food. It’s an old Italian place from the early 1900’s and it still looks the same inside as it did then and the same family still owns it.
Remember my secondary school pe, we would be playing hockey in the winter in shorts and tshirt while teacher would be in tracksuit, hat and scarf. Come the summer our young pe teacher would be in tennis dress showing off her suntan, better than the other teacher who was the crack bowler of the England ladies cricket team (mid 60s), whizzing balls past your ear!
Tears for fears “head over heels” my favourite song. Belinda Carlisle was gorgeous.
Omg loved this… great times back then!! Loved number 73 roger ramjet. Wait till your father gets home, jetsons. Miss Texan bars soo much and United biscuits. Spangles. So good 😊😊😊
Roger Ramjet!!!!!! Yes!!!!!
Hope you’re enjoying Perth looking forward to the series. Hope you do more of nostalgia actually put a smile on my face after doom and gloom of sad uk and world news. Thank you!!!!
Love to look back and see the old style how things were done that what miss about the 80s
Thunderbirds
Love thy neighbour, Morcombe and Wise lol.
Was lovely seeing the clip of your mum. Remember the posts you made with her! Great video and god bless
Do you remember the tv programmes - twizzle and torchy the battery boy? Also the wooden tops and dobbin?
What a fun chat. I'm a 70s child so bought back some memories . Here's my nostalgia list
Children's TV - Anything by Oliver Postgate e.g. Bagpuss, Clangers, Ivor the Engine
Film - Back to the Future. Roger Moore as James Bond (he knew how to have fun!)
Music - Tears for Fears, Weird Al, MTV
Sweets - Space Invaders, Pacers, Fizz Wizz
In the US we had “Twilight zone” and before that, we had another spooky one “The Way Out”.
enjoyed this thanks to you and Dave Lee ! Dave should deffo start his own channel! hes an interesting guy
Alun many thanks could not do it with out the big man himself watch this space 👍🙏😎
Nostalgia ain't what it use to be !!!!! 😂 TISWAS = Today Is Saturday Wakeup And Shout.
This is one of your best Lee. Podcast with Dave would be good.
Thanks Tricia
Tricia I am so grateful to the big fella for his support and that of the MM family thank you🙏😎
I agree, it's in the top 3 of your best videos Lee. 👍
Loved every minute of this Lee, for anyone who cares Fine Fare became Gateway!
Difficult situation, we attended a funeral in Dublin (Republic of Ireland) this afternoon. Patrick couldn't understand why his sister had two brothers and he had only one. Tough times.
Great vlog really enjoyed every minute of it more please

Hi Lee, another fantastic video brought back lots and lots of memories for me as I’m the same age as you I have a few that you didn’t say wonder woman didn’t I fancy her back in the day. brushstrokes used to love watching that And prospects sometimes wish we could go back in time specially as today life is dreadful. So lovely to see your mum again. Such a lovely lady. Good luck with your journey to Australia, and will look forward to the videos. Take care Lee, all the best And onwards my friend😎❤️
Thanks Jason.
Viscounts, Bananas, Mice, Shrimps are still available
Hi Lee in the late 70s when I used to visit Sunny Southport,every Wednesday evening at The Floral Hall was professional wrestling I remember the haystacks fellow, but my favorite was the wrestler with the black mask lol, then I would run to my grandmothers house to watch the ITV( Granada)replay, a condensed version on what I just watched, tried to see myself in the crowd lol. Did you set up the EV ride from Perth to Alice Springs yet? Can’t wait for the Australia vlogs take care
It was definitelee better in the 70's and 80's!
Nostalgia.Thanks Lee.❤
Hi Lee love the blog born in 1973 loved the 70s and eighties and The TV programs life was much better.My mum and dad loved this blog all the best Jamie
your mum looked a precious soul and raised you up well Lee.
"Ptang Yang Kipperbang" was on Channel 4s second night. "Countdown" was first show on Channel 4.
This video takes me back great hjs51
Good to see your mate JB or is he Dave, wearing the Man of Men badge support for Prostate Cancer. 1 in 8 men have this cancer at some point so it is really important that we support Prostate cancer UK. I hope the treatment went well and things are getting better now. Well done for wearing the badge, I wear mine, and it is not just for men that have had the cancer, it signifies support for those that have had it, and those that may get it. Research costs money. By the way talking nostalgia, the treatment wasn't available back then, so many of us would be dead, and not watching your vlog.
Respect Iain 🙏
How about parma violet sweets and nut brittle not to mention those cough candy twists.
Don't even mention Jim I'll fix it Lee and I'm bloody glad he didn't fix it for me Lol 😂 Xx
I could mention so many things about nostalgia from back then all day long..but i was on Tiswas ones and met Sally James in her leather trousers and she spoke to me and shaked my hand..the show i was on is when Big Daddy was there i was just sat behind him..and the some kind of sheep eye ball eating thing going on can't remember now..but i remember the phantom flang slinger 😂
Well done lee & Dave that past a good hour on with a trip down memory lane 👏
Anyone remember Mary Mungo and Midge and Pob LOL and Pebble mill at One
Was born in 54 yesterday things were better ❤great video lee
Great video, fantastic nostalgia, lovely to see JB back on, you and him have great banter x
Pamela many thanks really grateful 🙏
Harrington jackets from millets army stores with the tartan lining ❤
You take after your mum & it's no bad thing .❤❤
Fish and chips used to be a cheap working mans treat
Im fairly sure fine fare became Presto (youll be impressed in presto!) Presto bought Wm Lows, Presto were then bought by Safeway and they were bought by Morrisons.
Awww I miss my mum too Lee ❤xx
What a fabulous video Lee. You 2 should be a double act. As someone who remembers the 70s and 80s it was definitely much better then. Everything was simpler without social media and today's ridiculous politicians. I remember space hoppers and monopoly. On TV there was Skippy the bush kangaroo, Daktari, Trumpton, Camberwick Green, The Herbs and Hector's House. I remember so much that was great as opposed to the rubbish TV now. Safe trip to Oz Lee. 😀
Hector's House. 😊
Friday night from Norwich the quiz of the week....the sale of the century and after the professionals
Going through the school system in the 70's was character building. The 70's was a less tolerant time. I learnt to defend myself and to have a sense of humour. Given the choice of living in todays society or back then. I'd give up the PlayStation's, Xboxes, Steam Decks, iPhones and all todays luxuries in a heartbeat. I'd walk barefoot through broken glass to be back in the 70's. I'd still have my mum, my dad and my sister. Let alone friends gone too soon. There would be no phone in my hand to distract me. I'd sit and listen to their conversations. I'd slow down and not always be in a rush. I have fond memories of Saturday's morning's. My mum would bring me back a comic after she had been shopping. Either the Beano, The Dandy, Buster, The Whizzer and Chips or the Topper and later on 2000 AD. I'd love getting a Palitoy Action Man with eagle eyes for Christmas or on your birthday. In Wythenshawe, where im from, all the shopping parades were knocked down. Sweet shops, independent sport shops, butchers, bakeries, fishing tackle, clothes, car parts shops, replaced with a single shop or three shops at best if you were lucky. NSS newsagent's, sold corgi cars and dinky toys before that. The stacks of annuals that were for sale at Christmas. I remember watching Airwolf, Street Hawk, The A team, Knightrider and the short lived Automan through the 80's. Watching That's life on a Sunday night before school the next day. Playing Match day on the Spectrum 48k or The Last Ninja on the Commodore 64. The only electric car I lusted after then was a Tamiya Hornet remote control car 😊
The whole street had a party for the marriage of Charles and Diana. We were given a Charles and Diana coin and cup, to commemorate the day in junior school. The only thing I don't miss was the little bottle of milk you got in school. I hate drinking milk to this day lol.
Back then for me, was happier times, filled with fond memories. It wasn't all great but neither is today.
Yes!!!! It’s Dave The Rave with a new beard! Legend of the channel!!! And Pork Pie King
UK chocolate tastes better than Australian
Yes he should do a podcast The Good Old Days
wrapping your books was helping you with the christmas and birthday presents
I notice many Brits back in the 1970s liked American television. I remember my favorite show when I was young, was the Thunderbirds!! Gerry Anderson, brilliant stuff, the British did better shows than the US did then!
