0 seconds ago At 35 seconds - the family home where I grew up is down the road on the right , with the exception of the gatehouse nearly all the houses featured have been demolished to make way for Oligarch mansions . I remember the binmen well , they always enjoyed a chat with the residents.

Pretty sad really. Fine if they are far less able. But most of St George's Hill would have been inbred toffs with no talents of their own. Slightly different today, but not massively so. Today it will have large proportions of foreigners eg oligarchs with ill-gotten gains. Or the silver spoon toffs who inherited the money. (V few have a salary to buy a house on St G's).

You can go back in time and buy a £100k house, provided you also have the national average wage of £1k at that time.... Lol

@@annabellaandrewkingdon7972 According to the Bank of England £100K in 1975 is circa £850K in 2020. I'm reliably told you could only get a mortgage worth 2.5 to 3 times salary in those days (rather than 5 times odd today). Deposits and interests rates were higher too. Property prices in that manor have generally increased way beyond inflation however...

Talking as a modern day binman ... The poor housing bins contain take away pizza boxes, beer tins, scratch cards & nappies. The posher houses mostly have upmarket newspapers, glossy magazines, wine bottles & generally a better class of crap !! 😉

I've not seen rubbish collected like that....the brown bags they carry??? Were they too posh to have the metal dustbins we used to have as kids....lol....? Or did the bin men literally have to sift through the rubbish for the wine bottles to keep them separate...early recycling?
