Along with the stuff he mentioned at the start that people didn't have, we, in 1973, didn't have a phone, shower, a car, colour TV, heating outside one room, enough chairs for us to sit on, carpet. But we had clothes on our backs, shoes on our feet and food in our bellies .. so we were grand.
We also didn't have a phone or a shower, and used to get ready for school during winter with ice on the INSIDE of the bathroom window. But we DID have a TV, rented from D.E.R as I remember. Still I'd go back there at the flick of a switch if I could.

I was born and raised in Liverpool 20, (Kirkdale) in the 1950s and 60s. Then in 1965, at the tender age of 17yrs, I joined the RAF, and moved away from my beloved Liverpool home. This brilliant film brings back many precious memories. Thank you for it.
I remember living in Norris green in the 60s up to 1970 and then moved to London, l remember Liverpool very well my dad was a black cab driver and on weekends l used to go with him in the taxi , l Sat were the suitcases used to go next to the driver and l sometimes spotted fares for dad when he was driving. Happy days
Thanks they were good days l was 7 and ideas tough being a taxi driver some days dad got no fares and ended up outside TJ HUGHES. Taxi rank or The Adelphi hotel or get lucky at lime street station.
I think its safe to say your missing the point here Mollie This video refers to Liverpool during the 1970,s DOHHHHHHHHHHHHH.................................
Just found this. I loved my teenage years in Liverpool. Remember lots of this stuff going on round the Playhouse and what's now called the Cavern Quarter. Happy days. I must go back for a visit, not been there for about 5 years and even then, I only did the waterfront.
Aye... me too, with my dad & brother. I was 5 years old. I walked to the bottom of the tunnel but on the way back upto Wallasey, dad ended up carrying me most of the way. What a big jesse I was. Someone invent a time machine please... I wanna go back !!!
I first arrived at Liverpool in 1970 from Singapore on my way to Manchester to study. Just curious to visit bc it was the famous place where the Beatles came from..

Back in the 70s I worked at Robert Kelly in Renshaw St. Also Robinson and Neal in Dale Street and Campbell and Mabbs in Victoria Street. Kelly's had a shop in Brunswick Street as well which seemed an odd place to put a shop at that time. Oh...and in the 60s I worked at Bahr Berrand office in India Buuldings. Happy days!

My oh my if they could see Liverpool today wow what a different city it is. The covid and corruption lately has put some construction on hold but just looking at Liverpool 1 for instance really shows how much was invested into our city. I think some wanted Liverpool to be the next new York with massive sky scrappers and towers but a more sencible head said let's build big but not obscure what makes Liverpool famous the liver birds the cathedrals and the water front. Growing up I remember it was so scruffy in the outskirts of Liverpool places like huyton Prescot and whiston. But over time even they have changed too. With the right investment now Liverpool can go further and recover from the pandemic
@casperdog777 Hiya, Yes I remember- "Cross over to the lords side" and "be sure your sins will find you out". My dad always used to tell me that every time he saw that bloke he'd cross the road.(onto the Lord's side of course!!)
Yeh, there was always a lookout around- and then the jingle jangle of forks, spoons..as the rozzers made thru the crowd, for a set of china being flung into the case. Funny daze of time gone by. Alas!
I used to be at Canning place fire station and regularly used to see ol "cherry" around Paradise St, Hanover st. In the summer it used to run down his face, like something from a horror movie, Wished I'd had a camera, you wouldn't have believed it !!! Still he never harmed anyone or caused any problems I was aware of.
0.37 those 3 chimneys were part of a power station? I was on a ship in drydock in '89 and this was right next to a, then, derelict power station...plus we werent far from the city center. Wonder if its still there?
With reference to the new landing stage sinking. At the time of this happening, I was working on the barges and we were told a different story. The landing stage was built in Ireland, brought over and assembled in Birkenhead. It was then floated across the River Mersey in 2 sections, one for the Mersey Ferries and the other for the IOM Ferries. Due to the joining poles not lining up, during the first rough weather the water from the Mersey seeped into the air caissons and part of the landing stage sank.
No ridiculous "Diversity", Virtue Signalling or Gay Parades being proud about something. Honest poverty & thieving when everybody loved having nothing.

My old mate used to practice sword fencing at the YMCA on Brownlow Hill. "Purple Aki" took a shine to him and used to follow him round town, and once asked to "feel his muscles" at a bus stop. He was almost like an "urban myth" amongst young people back then, kind of like Freddie Kruger.... only I saw him myself a number of times stalking church street. Deeply weird... wonder where he is now? After chasing that young lad to his death at New Brighton train station. As for Slingertit... he completely passed me by, never heard of him.
@@justmeand62 I remember "Cherry Blossom" walking around town. A feller with "issues" who I'd guess had thinning hair on top.. so to cover it up he used to slather boot polish over his head. Bad enough to start with but when he walked around town in the heat of summer, good GOD !!! He looked like the worst "horror clown" you could imagine.
@@padmasalam5267 Tell that to the people of Muslim countries in the Middle East , when the Islamic State was trying to Establish there Caliphate !! Yer thought NOT................................ A caliphate (Arabic: خِلَافَة khilāfah) is an Islamic state under the leadership of an Islamic steward with the title of caliph (/ˈkælɪf, ˈkeɪ-/; Arabic: خَلِيْفَة khalīfah, About this soundpronunciation (help·info)), a person considered a political-religious successor to the Islamic prophet Muhammad and a leader of the entire ummah (community).[1] Historically, the caliphates were polities based in Islam which developed into multi-ethnic trans-national empires.[2] During the medieval period, three major caliphates succeeded each other: the Rashidun Caliphate (632-661), the Umayyad Caliphate (661-750) and the Abbasid Caliphate (750-1258). In the fourth major caliphate, the Ottoman Caliphate, the rulers of the Ottoman Empire claimed caliphal authority from 1517. During the history of Islam, a few other Muslim states, almost all hereditary monarchies, have claimed to be caliphates.[1] Prior to the rise of Muhammad and the unification of the tribes of Arabia under Islam, Arabs followed a pre-Islamic Arab polytheism, lived as self-governing sedentary and nomadic communities, and often raided their neighbouring tribes.[3][4] Following the early Muslim conquests of the Arabian Peninsula, the region became unified and most of the tribes adopted Islam.[4] The first caliphate, the Rashidun Caliphate, was established immediately after Muhammad's death in 632.[5] The four Rashidun caliphs, who directly succeeded Muhammad as leaders of the Muslim community, were chosen through shura, a process of community consultation that some consider to be an early form of Islamic democracy.[6] The fourth caliph, Ali, who, unlike the prior three, was from the same clan as Muhammad (Banu Hashim), is considered by Shia Muslims to be the first rightful caliph and Imam after Muhammad.[7] Ali reigned during the First Fitna (656-661), a civil war between supporters of Ali and supporters of the assassinated previous caliph, Uthman, from Banu Umayya, as well as rebels in Egypt; the war led to the establishment of the Umayyad Caliphate under Muawiyah I in 661. The second caliphate, the Umayyad Caliphate, was ruled by Banu Umayya, a Meccan clan descended from Umayya ibn Abd Shams. The caliphate continued the Arab conquests, incorporating the Caucasus, Transoxiana, Sindh, the Maghreb and the Iberian Peninsula (Al-Andalus) into the Muslim world. The caliphate had considerable acceptance of the Christians within its territory, necessitated by their large numbers, especially in the region of Syria.[8][9][10] Following the Abbasid Revolution from 746-750, which primarily arose from non-Arab Muslim disenfranchisement, the Abbasid Caliphate was established in 750. The third caliphate, the Abbasid Caliphate was ruled by the Abbasids, a dynasty of Meccan origin which descended from Hashim, a great-grandfather of Muhammad, making them part of Banu Hashim, via Abbas, an uncle of Muhammad, hence the name. Caliph al-Mansur founded its second capital of Baghdad in 762 which became a major scientific, cultural and art centre, as did the territory as a whole during a period known as the Islamic Golden Age. From the 10th century, Abbasid rule became confined to an area around Baghdad. From 945 to 1157, the Abbasid Caliphate came under Buyid and then Seljuq military control. In 1250, a non-Arab army created by the Abbasids called the Mamluks came to power in Egypt. In 1258, the Mongol Empire sacked Baghdad, ending the Abbasid Caliphate, and in 1261 the Mamluks in Egypt re-established the Abbasid Caliphate in Cairo. Though lacking in political power, the Abbasid dynasty continued to claim authority in religious matters until the Ottoman conquest of Mamluk Egypt in 1517.[11] The fourth major caliphate, the Ottoman Caliphate, was established after their conquest of Mamluk Egypt in 1517. The conquest gave the Ottomans control over the holy cities of Mecca and Medina, previously controlled by the Mamluks. The Ottomans gradually came to be viewed as the de facto leaders and representatives of the Muslim world.[12] In the Indian subcontinent, dominant powers such as the Delhi Sultanate's Alauddin Khilji, Mughal Empire's sixth ruler Aurangzeb, and Mysore's kings Hyder Ali and Tipu Sultan have been generally heralded as few of the Indian caliphs ever existed, due to their establishments of Islamic laws throughout South Asia.[13][14][15][16] Following their defeat in World War I, their empire was partitioned by the United Kingdom and French Third Republic. The first President of the Turkish Republic, Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, led the Turkish National Movement, which resisted the mainland Turkey's partition among the victorious Allied powers. Establishing a provisional government in the present-day Turkish capital Ankara, he defeated the forces sent by the Allies, thus emerging victorious from what was later referred to as the Turkish War of Independence. After the proclamation of the republic on 29 October 1923, as part of his reforms, the Grand National Assembly of Turkey constitutionally abolished the institution of the caliphate on 3 March 1924.[17] A few other states that existed through history have called themselves caliphates, including the Isma'ili Fatimid Caliphate in Northeast Africa (909-1171), the Umayyad Caliphate of Córdoba in Iberia (929-1031), the Berber Almohad Caliphate in Morocco (1121-1269) and the Fula Sokoto Caliphate in present-day northern Nigeria (1804-1903). The Sunni branch of Islam stipulates that, as a head of state, a caliph may come to power in one of four ways: either through an election, through nomination, through a selection by a committee, or by force.[18] A number of followers of Shia Islam, however, believe a caliph should be an Imam chosen by God from the Ahl al-Bayt (the "People of the House", referring to Muhammad's family).[citation needed] In the early 21st century, following the failure of the Arab Spring and defeat of the self-proclaimed "Islamic State", there has seen "a broad mainstream embrace of a collective Muslim identity" by young Muslims and the appeal of a caliphate as a "idealized future Muslim state" has grown ever stronger.

Due to the joining poles not lining up, during the first rough weather the water from the Mersey seeped into the air caissons and part of the landing stage sank.

No ridiculous "Diversity", Virtue Signalling or Gay Parades being proud about something. Honest poverty & thieving when everybody loved having nothing.

Anyone remember purple Aki or slingertit?
My old mate used to practice sword fencing at the YMCA on Brownlow Hill. "Purple Aki" took a shine to him and used to follow him round town, and once asked to "feel his muscles" at a bus stop. He was almost like an "urban myth" amongst young people back then, kind of like Freddie Kruger.... only I saw him myself a number of times stalking church street.
Deeply weird... wonder where he is now? After chasing that young lad to his death at New Brighton train station.
As for Slingertit... he completely passed me by, never heard of him.
There was purple aki.....weasel and happy talk....
@@justmeand62 I remember "Cherry Blossom" walking around town. A feller with "issues" who I'd guess had thinning hair on top.. so to cover it up he used to slather boot polish over his head. Bad enough to start with but when he walked around town in the heat of summer, good GOD !!! He looked like the worst "horror clown" you could imagine.

Tell that to the people of Muslim countries in the Middle East , when the Islamic State was trying to Establish there Caliphate !!
Yer thought NOT................................
A caliphate (Arabic: خِلَافَة khilāfah) is an Islamic state under the leadership of an Islamic steward with the title of caliph (/ˈkælɪf, ˈkeɪ-/; Arabic: خَلِيْفَة khalīfah, About this soundpronunciation (help·info)), a person considered a political-religious successor to the Islamic prophet Muhammad and a leader of the entire ummah (community).[1] Historically, the caliphates were polities based in Islam which developed into multi-ethnic trans-national empires.[2] During the medieval period, three major caliphates succeeded each other: the Rashidun Caliphate (632-661), the Umayyad Caliphate (661-750) and the Abbasid Caliphate (750-1258). In the fourth major caliphate, the Ottoman Caliphate, the rulers of the Ottoman Empire claimed caliphal authority from 1517. During the history of Islam, a few other Muslim states, almost all hereditary monarchies, have claimed to be caliphates.[1]
Prior to the rise of Muhammad and the unification of the tribes of Arabia under Islam, Arabs followed a pre-Islamic Arab polytheism, lived as self-governing sedentary and nomadic communities, and often raided their neighbouring tribes.[3][4] Following the early Muslim conquests of the Arabian Peninsula, the region became unified and most of the tribes adopted Islam.[4]
The first caliphate, the Rashidun Caliphate, was established immediately after Muhammad's death in 632.[5] The four Rashidun caliphs, who directly succeeded Muhammad as leaders of the Muslim community, were chosen through shura, a process of community consultation that some consider to be an early form of Islamic democracy.[6] The fourth caliph, Ali, who, unlike the prior three, was from the same clan as Muhammad (Banu Hashim), is considered by Shia Muslims to be the first rightful caliph and Imam after Muhammad.[7] Ali reigned during the First Fitna (656-661), a civil war between supporters of Ali and supporters of the assassinated previous caliph, Uthman, from Banu Umayya, as well as rebels in Egypt; the war led to the establishment of the Umayyad Caliphate under Muawiyah I in 661.
The second caliphate, the Umayyad Caliphate, was ruled by Banu Umayya, a Meccan clan descended from Umayya ibn Abd Shams. The caliphate continued the Arab conquests, incorporating the Caucasus, Transoxiana, Sindh, the Maghreb and the Iberian Peninsula (Al-Andalus) into the Muslim world. The caliphate had considerable acceptance of the Christians within its territory, necessitated by their large numbers, especially in the region of Syria.[8][9][10] Following the Abbasid Revolution from 746-750, which primarily arose from non-Arab Muslim disenfranchisement, the Abbasid Caliphate was established in 750.
The third caliphate, the Abbasid Caliphate was ruled by the Abbasids, a dynasty of Meccan origin which descended from Hashim, a great-grandfather of Muhammad, making them part of Banu Hashim, via Abbas, an uncle of Muhammad, hence the name. Caliph al-Mansur founded its second capital of Baghdad in 762 which became a major scientific, cultural and art centre, as did the territory as a whole during a period known as the Islamic Golden Age. From the 10th century, Abbasid rule became confined to an area around Baghdad. From 945 to 1157, the Abbasid Caliphate came under Buyid and then Seljuq military control. In 1250, a non-Arab army created by the Abbasids called the Mamluks came to power in Egypt. In 1258, the Mongol Empire sacked Baghdad, ending the Abbasid Caliphate, and in 1261 the Mamluks in Egypt re-established the Abbasid Caliphate in Cairo. Though lacking in political power, the Abbasid dynasty continued to claim authority in religious matters until the Ottoman conquest of Mamluk Egypt in 1517.[11]
The fourth major caliphate, the Ottoman Caliphate, was established after their conquest of Mamluk Egypt in 1517. The conquest gave the Ottomans control over the holy cities of Mecca and Medina, previously controlled by the Mamluks. The Ottomans gradually came to be viewed as the de facto leaders and representatives of the Muslim world.[12] In the Indian subcontinent, dominant powers such as the Delhi Sultanate's Alauddin Khilji, Mughal Empire's sixth ruler Aurangzeb, and Mysore's kings Hyder Ali and Tipu Sultan have been generally heralded as few of the Indian caliphs ever existed, due to their establishments of Islamic laws throughout South Asia.[13][14][15][16] Following their defeat in World War I, their empire was partitioned by the United Kingdom and French Third Republic. The first President of the Turkish Republic, Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, led the Turkish National Movement, which resisted the mainland Turkey's partition among the victorious Allied powers. Establishing a provisional government in the present-day Turkish capital Ankara, he defeated the forces sent by the Allies, thus emerging victorious from what was later referred to as the Turkish War of Independence. After the proclamation of the republic on 29 October 1923, as part of his reforms, the Grand National Assembly of Turkey constitutionally abolished the institution of the caliphate on 3 March 1924.[17]
A few other states that existed through history have called themselves caliphates, including the Isma'ili Fatimid Caliphate in Northeast Africa (909-1171), the Umayyad Caliphate of Córdoba in Iberia (929-1031), the Berber Almohad Caliphate in Morocco (1121-1269) and the Fula Sokoto Caliphate in present-day northern Nigeria (1804-1903).
The Sunni branch of Islam stipulates that, as a head of state, a caliph may come to power in one of four ways: either through an election, through nomination, through a selection by a committee, or by force.[18] A number of followers of Shia Islam, however, believe a caliph should be an Imam chosen by God from the Ahl al-Bayt (the "People of the House", referring to Muhammad's family).[citation needed]
In the early 21st century, following the failure of the Arab Spring and defeat of the self-proclaimed "Islamic State", there has seen "a broad mainstream embrace of a collective Muslim identity" by young Muslims and the appeal of a caliphate as a "idealized future Muslim state" has grown ever stronger.
No mate we fucked it .
