Half a century in the UK

61. What was life like in Britain in the 1960s? Many would say it was simpler, quieter, and safer. It seems to me that in every generation, people look back and say things were better when they were young. But that’s because they felt better because they were younger! Being a 20-something, with all our dreams still possible, is different from being grown up with responsibilities: children, elderly parents, a home to pay for, money to make … in other= words, your life changes, as well as the world around you. But what has actually changed in the last 60 years

62. The 1960s was the time when the technological wonders we nowadays take for granted started to become more common. By the end of the decade, nearly all homes had a television set. Programmes were still made in black and white, not colour. They started at five in the afternoon on weekdays, and they finished at midnight. People didn’t download music – they listened to it on the radio. Small, portable transistor radios were starting to replace the huge radio sets of the 1950s – which were bigger than most televisions are today. Nobody had personal computers. In the 1960s, the early computers were enormous, and only scientists with special training could use them.

63. Food was different, too. Many people bought all their food in local shops. Supermarkets were a new idea in the 1960s, and although they were becoming popular, less than half of the population used them. Most people cooked their own food. They couldn’t buy ready meals and put them in the microwave and they couldn’t pick up the phone or click to order a takeaway. Ordinary people only went out to restaurants on special occasions.

64. Travelling abroad on holiday was becoming more popular, but most British families spent their holidays in the UK – in places like Blackpool or the West Country.

65. Fewer people owned cars, but there were still enormous traffic jams on roads, especially during the summer holidays. The government had just started building motorways, so people usually had to use older, narrower roads to travel long distances. But trains were more frequent and a lot cheaper than they are today. British Rail was famous around the world for its service. So, what do you think – was life better in the 1960s or was it simply different?
