Death of the High Street

Now this validates multiple threads over the years, some bloke decided to VHS his display in front of a McDonalds in Warrington in the early 1990s, the same McDonalds is still there although very dishevelled and next to a pawnbroking chain rather than Dorothy Perkins.

Just about sums the UK up now.

Note how well dressed the laydees are and no waddling fatties.

Then Nice

Now Shithole

Without exaggeration they are all white British too.

I wonder if the kid at 1:25 knew back then that his shoes would now be worth about £20k.

To be fair Warrington Market is now vastly better than it was, and also has a real ale pub inside.

reminded me of the setup scenes in early ben dover videos where they pull a bird or 2 off the street (apparently) before persuading them to try on lingerie in a dirty old lockup down a side street. A lockup that happens to have a mattress or sofa in it and some long haired bloke waiting there.

Documentaries aint what they used to be.
