Couldn't have said it better. Then it was superior. The buzz of shopping and actually owning merch on the Day and seeing new people and buying super cool stuff. I LOATH modern Day shopping mate. Its utterly depressing to the point of vomit inducing. For instance the amount of security with egos stuck up there back sides. Had one follow me who must have been half my age mate when all I was doing was buying Christmas presents in WHSmith about 2 years ago in Brum. I felt like telling the cretin that I was witness to Brums best times and that people like Him make shopping a living Hell by following innocent hard working blokes around. I remember getting up early in the 80s to get to Brum...The smell of the morning cooking and breakfasts and then heading to Virgin megastore and the Games shop under it, Then richer sounds and comptazia which is now utterly rubbish. I went in there a few Years back and every single comic is perfectly situated on shelves in pristine order as iff no one is supposed to touch them unlike the 80s when there was so much good stuff in there. I utterly detest modern shopping. There is no way it will ever approach what we were privileged to witness.

Love seeing this i left school in 1985 but I do remember around 1984. I would deliberately go down to the bullring outdoor market everywhere on a Saturday with my sister and brought oranges I did not want until the young lad Clive who worked on a particular fruit and veg stall asked me out. I didnt even like oranges. I thought he was so cool with his shaggy perm🤣🤣🤣 and he took me to see a rocky film. Wonderful times back then none of this gang violence and people robbing and raping and chopping up people. The city centre is horrible now. Im so thankful im not part of the younger generation. 70s and 80s were still brilliant.

I did not enjoy going to the market because I hated, and still hate crowds, but I'd force myself because I knew that you got good quality food and bargain prices. The last time that I went, which was the year I retired, 2011, after a break of many years, I was appalled by the rubbish that was being sold at prices higher than I was paying in the supermarket. Stall after stall selling the same, and most of what I bought ended up in the bin as it started rotting after a couple of days. I'm not one for quoting "good old days", but the old market certainly was much better.

People making sly racist comments need to seriously get a life. Coming from a Pakistani background i too remember these days going into town & it was nice for what it was but that's life things change no two days are the same so why people feel the need to make offensive comments especially those who are brown themselves is beyond me. Yes Birmingham has changed alot & is overpopulated & it affects us all no matter what background we come from. Just enjoy this video & be nice for a change.

The last time I went to Birmingham, less than 5 years ago, it might as well have been somewhere in the middle east!

Why would I need to travel to the middle east to know that? We have this thing called the internet that lets people in on things without them actually having to be there!
