    Those ads for South Africa are the reason I’m South African 😂 my grandparents emigrated with 6 kids, 1 being my mother. It must’ve been around that time. My grandfather was in the trade, my guess a fitter and turner. The city I grew up in, Benoni, is actually a result of British immigrants moving across to fulfill trade vacancies. Ironically, I immigrated to Ireland so almost full circle
    Excellent digression video!

    I was 4 in 1971 and this all seems eerily familiar. Looking at the tunes in those lists struck a chord (!). I remember having the "You and me and dog called boo" single that appears on one of the lists.

    Wow! Thanks for going to the trouble of posting these pictures. I'm from Staincross/ Darton. My dad used to play the piano in the pub at Darton (The Drum). My uncle George used to run the Barbers shop a few doors down. All the old boys along with my grandad who fought in the first world war, wouldn sit on a wall in the sun. The chat was either cricket or football. My grandad and my dad played cricket at Darton. That whole row as being pulled down now, last I was there it was a continuous flow of cars. I was lucky to see a snippet of the old way of living. Hard times, but slower, folk seemed more content.

    Sept 1971 was when I started 11th Grade (year 12 in the UK). Those prices were present here as well (only in USD - multiply by 2.68 and you get the $$ amount) and felt no cheaper then. Yeah, they were UK papers but that was a real blast from the past, Russ (especially the music). Thanks for that.

    Every time we do a home remodel (at this point, once in each of five different homes) we put a contemporary newspaper or magazine in, as well as some artifact of the time (a Palm Pilot in our mid-1990's reno, for instance, with batteries removed and in a separate container). Fun!
    In the house in which I grew up in Chicago in the 1970's, we found a neon advertisement fixture in a wall, with the neon sign transformer just below it in the floor joist cavity. House was built in the 1890's, and the sign was from the late 1920's.
    Looking forward to see what you do with the hallway. Would the brick / stone be usable just brushed down, sealed, and left "raw"?

  • @cjr6564
    @cjr6564 2 года назад +1

    Great Little video Thanks, Always worth remembering when looking back at the cost of things was the fact that wages too were very low. Fresh out of school in 1972 and starting my apprenticeship with the Post Office Telephones I was earning £12.80 a week. I was also looking for "an adaptable young Lady" as well so perhaps I should have looked in the small ads in the Barnsley Chronicle!

    I found pages from a 1970's era edition of the Manchester Evening News when I replaced the door casings in my hallway.
    According to a joiner I know, it was common practice at the time to use them as packing and to fill gaps for painting over later. I suppose nowadays they'd use a big glob of decorators caulk instead. Unfortunately, since they'd been used to pack out the gaps, they weren't in the best of condition, nor were they whole pages.

    I've lifted lino and carpet in old houses and often found newspapers underneath. Best find was was an entire national newspaper celebrating the end of WWII. Not sure if it was put there as a 'time capsule' gesture or simply as insulation. I spent a lot longer reading it than I would a paper of the day and carefully rolled it up around a large cardboard tube and covered it up with more paper and a rubbish bag before taping it water and air tight.
    Unfortunately my then bf - a real winner who went on to become become meth addict and stalker - was a vindictive little bastard who enjoyed breaking and destroying things out of spite and, knowing exactly what he was doing, he used the paper to start the fire.
