It's a micro society within London from the 60s ..probably well to do ,day off money to spend ,some hired for the cameras .
'normal' people from that era are generally as miserable as you'll get ,even more so than now in fact ..they just needed to take the cameras a mile down the road . |

Here is another from the 60s this time its a group of people that had a bad rep often seen as hooligans, have look at the young girl then compare her to a 15 year old of today.

Thinking back to the 70s people were a lot more self assured than the 80s after the guts had been riped out of the country.
In the last 40 to 50 years Britain has been brutalized on all fronts. Loss of industry loss of national pride loss of our own self worth huge changes in the demographic of the country. |

people are used to the era they live in ,a 15 year old today wouldn't know any different

True coach, I remember my parents telling me how good it was in the 50s,70s for me the world has changed

Very true but for someone who would have been seen as trouble by today's standards she comes across very well.

Just had another look at that riveting film of London in the Summer of 1967.
Wonderful to see so many beautiful young women walking through London’s streets so confidently, in skirts ending several inches above the knee. All at perfect ease with themselves. Never for a moment would they have to endure hostile scrutiny from the squalid Sharia Patrols that their grand-daughters would routinely face less than 50 years later. Stylishly dressed young men and women that actually looked like young men and young women. Never for a moment being put under pressure to be anything other than young men and young women. Never entertaining for one moment the ludicrous notion that there might be more than two genders. Aspiration and healthy complexions appear to be everywhere, and mercifully the traffic appears to be elsewhere. At 2:41 we see the Lord John Boutique, and the psychedelic mural above it. For those of you who may not know, that mural was a great (ahem) ‘influence’ on the design of the mural that eventually graced the catastrophic Beatles ‘Apple’ Boutique which opened later in 1967. Did any Chit Chatter ever visit that fabled Beatles endeavour, or even ‘Bibi’ ? Sadly I missed them both by a few years. At around 6:00 we see some street traders making plentiful use of the Union Jack on their stall. Later self-imagined ‘progressive’ generations would view this as dangerously anachronistic, pretending it was both offensive and of course 'WAAAAAAAAAYYYYYCIST". Swinging London at its very apex? Certainly the influence of The Beatles and ‘Sgt Pepper’ can be witnessed regularly throughout this little gem of a film. pp alun |

I'm fairly sure if they had HD cameras at the time there would be a bit of visible acne.

Nice copy and paste Kenny !
It even includes my original typo, as the shop was of course called 'Bibi' Did any of you lot ever visit the Beatles 'Apple Boutique' or 'Biba' ? |

Yes it was a much happier time then.
Nowadays everything has to be competitive. We suffer from this I'm fairly sure if they had HD cameras at the time there would be a bit of visible acne. mouse yes I had it, but I got rid of it after two years. I scrubbed it to death. We have better gadgets than we had then and the internet now....but it was a wonderful time, I remember it Backing losers was not any easier then than now...betting offices had been legalised. We were allowed to be men, women were women, we threw it away. |
