Nostalgia

I liked these photos from the 1960s (and one from the 50s!) on the Mirrorpix website:

You should know that nostalgia is never as good as it used to be.

A nasty case of flare in one of them!

Too much sports content. Nothing changes!

What an era it was, how elegantly dressed the women, how dapper the men - well most of them!

I would like to say that 'I remember it well' but I was usually too pssst to notice. It's hard to break the habit of a life-time.

Anyone spot the in #23?

I take it you are referring to the woman on the left pushing the pram out into the traffic, and looking the wrong way? That was simply one way to cross! The cars would scream to a halt, while she continued to look the wrong way, and walk blithely across, ignorant of the mayhem she had caused. Of course, she had to time it just right, so that the cars actually did have time to stop before demolishing the pram! And that took real skill.....

The next generation have grown up and cross a side urban road near the junction with a main road, quite convinced that no traffic will enter the side road from the main road, such that there is no need to look.
