At least they had a community in their old age. Can't see older women sitting like this in the pub today.

The very elderly lady in black must have been 80+ and was probably a Victorian.

My mum moved to London from Germany in 1960. 15 years after the end of WW2 and she had it hard. I was born in 65, 2 years after my sister with another 3 coming in the next 4 years. She learnt to speak English although struggled with writing. She was ignored and verbally abused by a lot of people in our street, because she was German. She was a brave woman. There was a little old lady 4 doors away, Aunty Miffy we called her and she took my mum and us 5 kids under her wing and helped out. These ladies very much remind me of my aunty Miffy, a lady whom i have such fond memories of.

The finest generation this country ever produced; tough as old boots, never had a pot to piss in, went trough two world wars and the depression but survived on their wits, courage and community. God bless em all!

The hardness of life shows in their faces. But the humour and dignity shines through!

These sort of clips are pure gold. How life has changed so much. They would not know London these days.

As a Londoner born and bred, I take heart listening to these old dears. From S.London and the accents are the same. Most of these old dears have departed, but thereâs still a few old school working class Londoners about. As soon as they open their mouths, you know straight away youâre talking to one. They may have gone but their spirit lives on.
Honest, hard working, know when people are taking the piss with them, donât stand for any nonsense, and love a good knees-up (party). God bless them all.
From time to time I drive through SE London and explain to my kids that at one time, the worldâs goods and commodities came and landed here on these docks and made this country what it is. I donât wanna get into the rights and wrongs of colonialism here but without these dears and their husbands, we wouldnât be where we are today. The sad thing is that their children and grandchildren have lost the strength and fortitude of this lot - and Britain will always be poorer for it. đ˘
Even though I donât look it, I consider myself British through and through and try to keep true to British values and stay strong in these difficult times. As a nation weâve been through far worse and Iâm sure that if we keep true to our values: work hard, think through problems, innovate and give the politicians and bankers a slap from time to time, we can emulate these lovely old dears and come out the other side stronger and wiser. These ladies are an inspiration to us all

I could cry for what we've lost.

The good ole London sense of humour. People had nothing but they were grateful and happy! I want to hang out and laugh with these ladies!...sad that they are gone now.

The old loyal London working class, they had a spirit about them that's all but gone now.

Proud people, and worked hard for what they had.

My guess is most of these women never saw the end of the decade, certainly unlikely to have seen the end of 1980s. Crazy to look at this and think how they all lived their (long) lives, drinking and socializing into their 70s and 80s, discussing a time when they were young (a full century removed from 2018) and now their existence is perhaps only in the memories of their children or grandchildren, as well as a few photos and this old video dredged up in the Thames TV archives. [Thanks for sharing!] The things these ladies must have seen and lived through - and the things they would be amazed at about in todayâs world, good and bad. Makes me think of the song âHandbags and Gladrags,â for some reason.
It certainly puts life into perspective.

My grandparents were from the East End of London. Nan and Grandad. I miss them so much and can hear their voices in so many of these wonderful characters.
