Waterloo Station, London, 1980s ⏳️

@doulos73 @BygoneBritain Look at those wonderfully civilised people!

@BygoneBritain East end boys, west end girls.. West End Girls

@BygoneBritain There was still an element of respectability about day to day life back then. It wasn't perfect either - far from it. However, the London of today is so far removed from those days that it is almost unrecognisable.

@BygoneBritain Men wearing suits ... forgotten about that

@BygoneBritain Remember those big round weighing scales? Think you had to put money in them and step up and watch the needle go round to weigh if you’re a fat bastard or not as the case may be. Wonder where they all went?

@BygoneBritain Since then the people have been changed and the station has been culturally Marxified with a large statue to the Windrush passengers .

@BygoneBritain Looked like this when David Jason filmed Del and Raquel meeting here in Only Fools And Horses

@BygoneBritain How ironic is it that the past looks how we imagined the future? You want to believe that civilization will become more civilized & advanced... in reality only technology advances while corrupt governments regress civilization & fight technology that exposes their corruption.

Follow us for more of the same and to keep up with our docuseries and upcoming tours. @PubHistoryTours Next tour: with @VinnieSull1van (This weekend)

@BygoneBritain my uncle was a platform announcer at Waterloo station during the 80s

@BygoneBritain Couldn't see anyone pushing through the barriers.

@BygoneBritain When men wore suits and not just a pair of shorts and a t-shirt like the scruffy lot of today.

@BygoneBritain The humans of the past are how we imagined the humans of the future... now replaced with 3rd worlders dropped into civilization evolved far beyond their mentality.

@BygoneBritain No ticket barriers. How flipping nice.

@BygoneBritain Probably about 1986. Thought it was Pet Shop Boys West end Girls vid at first

@BygoneBritain I didn't know Photo-me were already around

@BygoneBritain Does anybody use a briefcase anymore? I might get one!

@BygoneBritain

@BygoneBritain This is what they stole from us.

@BygoneBritain The tannoy that when it comes on makes you speed up to almost a run whether you're late or not.

@BygoneBritain The Phonebox had a BT Phonecard booth! Was that about in the 80’s? I had one in the mid 90’s

@BygoneBritain Looking for myself 🤣

@BygoneBritain Sometimes I was there...

@BygoneBritain Unrecognisable compared to today!

@BygoneBritain Just needs the Pet Shop Boys now 😉🎶

@BygoneBritain Take me back

@BygoneBritain What video used that clip?

@BygoneBritain Robots

@BygoneBritain Was looking for Casey Jones🍔🍟 🤢🤣

@BygoneBritain The good old days.

@BygoneBritain Suits that probably had a hand in wrecking this nation.

@BygoneBritain Brilliant just as I remember, Wonder what sort of camera filmed that because nobody appears to be noticing they're being recorded...

@BygoneBritain Before the invasion

@BygoneBritain Huh, wonder if I'm there

@BygoneBritain no muslies
