Just found a video of someone driving through my home town in 1984! Funny how much things change in 30 years

There was a Woolworths and a wimpey. Its just funny seeing the 2 way highstreet,different road layouts and all the old pub's.
It was all filmed by a man driving a brand new Mk2 Fiesta with a mullet. Genius! They even drove past my old work which wasn't there plus he commentated on the 'new' sainsburys which was knocked down years ago and moved to different premises years before that. It's just weird and a real gem to find

People just don't take photos of, just, their own street scenes or something do they. We have to put people in it (unless we're on holiday). I wish I'd taken more photos of the places I used to hang out in in my teens. They're all gone now ...

Found another of the town carnival the same year which was good to see! Thing is, at the time, you think what's the point? It's not till 20-30 years later that you appreciate looking back. Good stuff!

Pingu
We told them what colour said ford ice White said was not ford ice white so got machine out said was van white bit I've now been told they should then brought the colour out on strip to double check and they never. So we got call last night after he sprayed it saying it's not same but he had to finish it. Where pingu so so white he said this white he spayed looks cheese hence why chalk and cheese.
We are getting him done in winter full respray but it's not point I have to go...
