Move forward & dont look back..

When you see some of the shite turned out and sold as hifi today, who wouldn’t want to look back? There’s still good stuff made today but it’s hardly a golden age.

We've got the big tellies though. As a child that was the one thing that I hoped would happen in the future. Big tellies. And it did. So I'm not complaining even if the rest of it is a bit crap.

Aye things were better back in the good old days.

60s 70s

Things were simpler.
Technology has changed society for the worse imho and the computer age especially.

Time's move on. And we just gotta role with em, but I fear for the kids of the future, technology is making us humans redundant.

Don't forget your newly LS3/5a's are carbon copy 1970's design.

Exactly. More power to you, jammy.

Do not look back, the past is the past. Do not ignore the lessons of History however, if so, do so at your peril.
We all look back to our younger years and regard them as the best times, I have given this some thought, and in my case my cynicism feeds into this view.
Our medical is far better, the cars are safer if you have ever driven a car made in the early 50's for example you will soon see how dangerous they were with cross ply tires that sent you into a ditch in the rain. And brakes you had to encourage with a prayer. Windscreen wipers, vacuum operated that came to a halt when you hit a hill. Plus you were always fiddling with the things.

There were no perverts when I was a kid we roamed around the town and in the bush like wild animals.
We have to put up with a lot more control now, the law is applied strictly, not left to the discretion of the cops. If I carried on now like I did as a youth I would be locked up.

Political correctness has got out of hand, nobody can laugh at themselves any more, they all take umbrage at the slightest thing.
I spend quite a lot of time with people a lot younger than me, people still enjoy themselves only in different ways.
Time passes slow when you are young, as you get older it passes by in a flash, so fast you can't remember what you did a year ago. Those salad days are still held dear because you remember them, it was new and exciting, as you get older life becomes a bore, you have seen it all, done it all, tasted all, and felt the pain. Getting old has a few big advantages, you have the time to sit back chill, crack a bottle of vino or in my case a box, put on some tunes and not have to answer to the clock, or a bloody boss ever again.

I do like old things, they have a charm, a soul, you can see the work of the artisan who made them. Not like today where everything is designed to be disposable, and new stuff has to be purchased, to feed the destructive consumer economy bullshit.

Exactly give the moron bullies attention of any kind, and you just encourage them.  Best thing to do with some kid throwing a tantrum is to ignore it, hecklers are just as immature as two year old's.

Personally I have a shockingly poor memory of the past, so most of it's just a blur. I tend to live in the moment, plus having children means that to some extent I've been forced to think/plan ahead, rather than keep harking back to the good old days. In purely material terms, I like living in a big house, after growing up in a small house with five other people. I hardly watch TV, so big tellys have mostly passed me by.

Drive a car on cross ply's I drove 1950's cars, my first a 1951 Ford Anglia, it was lethal in the wet.  No radials for me in my day, if they were available they were expensive. I was just an apprentice.
Seem to remember it had Kelley tyres on it.
