I have scant memories of the lower middle class life I lived with my family in Manchester c. 1972, but I do recall that it wasn't pretty. It really, really didn't look anything like Downton Abbey. One of the things I appreciate about YouTube is its ability to show us television from other periods.
This
kind of shows what life was like then in a middle class suburb of an English conurbation in the 70s/80s. And how they really felt about it.
Is it any wonder that the English are kind of freaking out right now? The only thing holding them together at all since the Anglican takeover and the forcible suppression of The Real, has been the social rules.
Well, we got rid of those, didn't we?

Seems a kind of mix between BBC's "Threads" and a Thomas Dolby video.
