[@neillaubach1673]

Just as i remembered it. we were there that year. i was nine. One of my fav places in the world. Took my kids back there a few years ago. It hasn't changed that much. they loved it too.

[@macronencer]

My parents were there in 1960 while on their honeymoon! I've often wondered what it was like to visit - this was a pleasant and well produced piece. Thank you.

Lets go to Lundy

[@76ToneCrome]

My mate, Solomon Grundy was born on Lundy.

[@TheTinoXL]

On a Monday?

[@andydixon2980]

Is he related to Bill Grundy - sex pistols 'go on say a rude word......'?

[@antmerritt]

Was he born on Sunday or Monday? You know Solomon like.😊

[@heli-crewhgs5285]

It’s a charming place, but do yourself a favour: If you’re going on a day trip, fly by helicopter from Hartland Point.

and everyone wore flares! I really enjoyed watching that... life was lived at a slower pace back then...

I was 12 years old in 1978 . I guess KZbin is about the closest thing we have to time travel ....so far

Mental note taken for the forthcoming 'zombie apocalypse' or *similar (TM).

[@rgarlinyc]

Looked lovely in the 70s - I wonder what it's like now...🤔

[@gingerwoods616]

Probably got a Starbucks on it!

[@rgarlinyc]

@@gingerwoods616 Yeah... how sad.

[@chemistrywizard21]

​@@gingerwoods616I went several years ago - there's no Starbucks. Still looks very similar

[@MrShuttz]

Mass uncontrolled immigration

[@rgarlinyc]

@jamesmack6374 Oh, that's good to know! I haven't visited Britain since pre-pandemic, so next time I do I might take in Lundy too...

[@michaelturner4457]

There's a Starbucks, KFC, McDonald's, Pizza Hut, Greggs and JD Wetherspoon pub on Lundy now.

[@joannavandermeer7511]

I do hope you are joking! 😃

[@heli-crewhgs5285]

You forgot to mention Barclays Bank, Boots the chemist and Timpson’s Shoe repairs and key cutting.

[@michaelturner4457]

I also fogot to mention the Premier Inn and Lundy Trump Golf & Country Club. The island is certainly more busy, developed, and gentrified since they built the North Devon to Lundy King Charles III Bridge.

[@pklongutoobe]

Lies, only North Light Tandoori

[@clarsach29]

all those shoes ruined by seawater when alighting! the sun and bikini-clad swimmers made me wonder what temperature it was....probably only about 17C or so!

[@donksausageweasle2395]

According to one of the bikini clad swimmers it was quite warm that day
