How I loved shows presented like this. No BS, just interesting info expertly described without hype or stupidity. Much missed. Plus I kind of fancied Judith Chalmers lol. Classy lady.

I was a teenager in June 1974 & we moved to Spain from the USA. No air conditioning found in Spain in those days. If we did find rare coffee beans (see 01:44 ), I sat in our kitchen, putting coffee beans between 2 papers towels & I used a jar to hammer them to pieces. ZERO crime rate, kids could roam freely. A society where males took good care of & were PROUD of their family. Unlike now, males in 1974 had no daily internet porn or easy access to illegal drugs....just their happy family life. Seems like I must've been on another planet, in Spain back in 1974.

I first went abroad to Spain in 1974. Big adventure.

[@muggedinmadrid]

After five days, the management can ask you to leave! 😄 "YOU DON'T HAVE TO GO HOME BUT YOU CAN'T STAY HERE" "Release the dogs!" (The .. Spain - iels)

How she said 'Little Germany' with such bitterness.

Butter and pepper. Lovely.

3:20 Looking on Google maps the club must have been out of business for at least 20-30 years by now

[@maybugz]

Oh yeh I found it, it's in ruins now!

[@globaltraveller]

Just had a look on Google maps. Totally abandoned. It certainly looked nicer and more modern nearly 50 years ago.

[@tina5203]

The villa is much more preferable to a crowded hotel . The couple looked abit miserable though !!

[@Westhamsterdam]

Those two would find holidaying on the Costas in this age "somewhat common".

[@EgoShredder]

How would you know for sure though? Maybe they are serious mature types?

[@pmacc3557]

Well if he had you sitting beside him im sure he would have cheered up a bit😃

[@spidyman8853]

Probably shy stiff upper lip old type Guessing they were middle class back then hence they chose the villa away from the crowd. The poor little kid just wanted to play about. He was full of energy and his dad got him locked in his arms LOL for the sake of an interview.

[@sufeeb]

Back to a gentler era, I remember watching WYWH every week.

[@etherealdreams7936]

I climbed that friggin "Ilfach" rock thingy in June 1992.

[@deanstanley5799]

That first couple only in there thirty’s there they looked in there mid fifties 😂

[@danyoutube7491]

No they don't, they look like grown ups in their thirties.

[@petebear12000]

so glad we just went to Wales during the 70's . imagine being next to that stuck up couple . that's what one thinks. all fur coat no knickers

[@bigcahoonaburger8550]

I thought the presenter was very rude to the first family. Interviewing them all the while teasing them deliberately on a hot day with a calippo ice lolly. I bet she even made them sleep in itchy blankets, you know the ones that are still there now 40yrs later top of the wardrobes.

[@tonemc6047]

It wasn’t a Calippo lolly it was a 24 carrot dildo which was passed down through the generations of the Chalmers family .

[@sarahnewton2550]

The village of Calpe! Village! Oh take me back to sta-aa-rrt

Calp very changed until now.I cannt recognize that place.

[@marklimbrick]

Comments about coffee- tin enamel jugs and grinders in local shops. Still have mine and use them. Comment about those crime free days - fascist police with funny hats greatly feared. Always looking out for drugs smuggling from morocco. Remember that film?

[@volvos60bloke]

why do they all talk with those clipped tone's who care's, we got are brexit done

[@buddha1736]

Boomers paradise Spain lol 😂

[@gerardmackay8909]

That couple (plus Judith) mid to late 30s so that makes them part of ‘The Silent Generation’ not Boomers who were teens and 20s then

I remember visiting Spain the the early 80s and asking the hotel manager for soft toilet paper 🧻 and he replied “If you want soft toilet paper you go to hotel bumboy” 🤔🧻💩💯
