Quite a bit has changed since 1989, and some things have not. The Union Jack cafe is still up and running in Kirkland (part of the main street through Kendal). I used to go in there when I was around 10 years old, and I'm almost 67 now.

Good knickerbocker glory available to right in 1982

fosters in the market place, many a bad dress sense came out of there, what a fantastic friday and saturday nightlife we had in the 80's , alleycats, queens, the park, 11.00pm bus from the shakespeare to bowness

Based.

The closest that Mark ever came to being the alpha-male... 😆

The auld purple town

Great video thanks

Well at least it wasn't raining! My Escort XR3i was parked in one shot at Elm Court.

Just after 7:20 Quantic - time is the enemy 2001, starts at same output level as the previous tune on the radio amazing, time travelling tune? or intentionally inserting in the video, suits the scene well, I'll say no more

Makes me miss Kendal, especially in those days!!!!

Bloody hell, you can’t drive down Sparrowmire lane like that anymore, it’s like a car park now!

This is not in 1896 because I live in kendal

nothing changed in england.. ovbiously.. british were stuck years behind americans

To think I was only 5 years old, living at Appleby (Next town). Some great cars there which are absolute classics now. I took my driving test here before they changed to the 1-way system.

That's a brilliant watch for any of us living in Kendal - Very interesting - thanks for sharing =D

I think what's remarkable about this is really how LITTLE has changed. I'm thinking that if you drove around similarly in Manchester or somewhere like that, you'd see that it was almost completely different in places. Nice to see the multi-story under construction

More like 1979

Kendal's changed so much since then. The one way system's fucked things up. It'd also be really nice if Kendal returned to being more of a traditional market town...A medieval Kendal, that's what I'd like :3

Thanks for posting this.

Wow, Kendal is a lot less purple than it used to be.

I can't belive it! I shared this video at 3:30pm yesturday and 24 hours on 1,360 people have watched it. I never realised how much intrest we all take in the history of our town.

remember it well passed my test that year first time in kendal

Fascinating history, 10 years before our arrival in town. A lot has chafed, a lot hasn't.

That's every Monday morning at my house.

I bet he made that rant up on the spot!

@josh1728 Bro, you go to England and they have like a hundren different accents over there. It's quite cool.

I watch this clip every morning for motivation before work. God I'm old...

He's god hahahaha

Yep there's a little bit of Mark and a little bit of Jez in all of us

radio4 rulz

can someone (from the UK) tell me what the difference is between marks accent and the muggers? mark's sounds "British" and the muggers sound like lethal b...where would they be from?

america is a continent, not a nation

FASTER FASTER

It's from Series 3 Episode Five

"Oh, this really leaves a sour taste!" love the way he says that xD Classic Mark.

kevin bishop!!

I wouldn't stop hanging out with somebody if they were a smackhead.I wouldn't do smack and I'd hope if I was friends with one they wouldn't just whip out their needles and start injecting beside me.Mark wasn't giving out about drugs, he was giving out about the people.

yeah

give us you phone give us wallet! =]

Funny thing how you Brits play all "properly offended" when someone uses the N-word, but racism against Americans, hey, nothing wrong with that. In fact, it's cool!

Ashketichu, yeah, I'd step up for Mark too.

I would kill those guys for fucking with Mark!

Legendary Mark!

this is such an awesome clip

I love this scene. In the space of about five years I went from being the moron in the hoodie to being Mark. The closest I ever came to reenacting this scene was ranting at somebody who offered me GHB, in my own kitchen, while I was putting together a bowl of Shreddies. God... I'm so old.

This clip made me think of how I'd kill these guys for fucking with me. Man, that would be terrible to be so.. tame!

legendary LOL

haha the wee one looks like Gary Neville
