  The 80s are the "good old days" to some now. It just goes round in a loop.

  It's impossible to stress how valuable footage like this is

  “I find it distressing this hunger for speed, speed, speed.” This woman knew what we were in for long before it came

  And the presenter Mavis Nicholson is now 89 years old. Older than those being interviewed. Time passes in the blink of an eye!

  As a child and teenager, I used to love asking my great aunt - born in 1892 and lived until she was 92 - about how life was like for her.  When I was learning about suffragettes at school and told her this, she immediately told me that their colours were white, purple and green.  Never learned that at school, only from my great aunt who remembered them.  She had to leave school at 13 and went to work at a dressmaker, making whalebone corsets for Edwardian ladies.

  So nice to see the people on the panel being civil and courteous and not shouting at each other.

  How lucky I am to live in a time that affords the opportunity to glance back in time and experience albeit through someone else&apos;s eyes, life so many decades ago. &nbsp;I thoroughly enjoyed viewing this discussion, thank you for the upload.
