      It's stunningly beautiful now! There's so much cultural and racial diversity, not to mention the many different languages that are spoken, as well as knife crime. It blossomed and bloomed into a gorgeous flower that is now the envy of the world. Hic! 🍷🤪🍷

      @@zeddeka It is cleaner, but it comes at a major cost: the expulsion of British Londoners, as multi-million pound apartments are constructed and bought up as investments by foreigners. London, as a cultural hub, has declined as a result. What's the point of somewhere looking better if you can't live there?

      Some people are just not very good at finding music to suit a video. They think it doesn't matter, but it does. It can enhance a video so much.

    I was 8 in 1963, living at Brentwood in Essex, Hornchurch Urban District Council became London Borough of Havering in in that year, also, Severe Winters with -15C heavy snow/frosts and a pee souper Feb/March. Upminster Essex became London Borough Havering, I mentioned Upminster due to my new school.
    Also Sir Alec Douglas-Home only served as Prime Minister for 363 days in 1963, but he oversaw the abolition of resale price maintenance and took a tough stance in dealing with the trade unions.
