Hitchhiking was a national past time in the 70s and 80s.
Guards wouldn’t even give her a lift
That was my method of transport right through the 90s. Great times.
Camera crew could of gave her a lift
Wonder what they are doing now? The mother is probably in her 70s? Lovely family.
This is how people
From that generation gathered wealth and now own property. I couldn’t imagine people now being as frugal as those in the 70s
That’s a load of bollocks,l cycle to work every day for the last 8 years from Clontarf to Grand Canal Dock, every morning at 8 am im up and out the door at 8.40,but nobody makes a program about me? She’s just begging for lifts.
A family holiday abroad in the 70s was very rare in Ireland, even families that would be now comfortable middle class weren’t going abroad in the 70s. My family wasn’t poor but it was the late 80s before we got a holiday to Blackpool and that was a big deal at the time, it was probably a couple of years of savings too.
Such a nice family! I hope they all had a wonderful life. I almost felt I was intruding watching them having tea.
What a woman!! Fair play to her!
What’s interesting about this also is that she was effectively working for the fun money.
Today, that isn’t a choice. You need a two income household to stand still. Drop the ball or get sick and you could find yourself in a black hole very quickly as the 2 grand to 2.5 grand a month rent stacks up.
Ireland has improved no doubt, and I’m not complaining, but interested to hear the thoughts of others. The public coffers are up per head of population, with more of the ready-and-able portion of the population working. Productivity of companies is up. Profits up. House prices went up too (customer now has two incomes available to them to fund the house purchase, yippee if selling houses and mortgages)
Ireland has improved, but is the family now down 40 hours a week of its time with no net gain?
Is the single person now more economically disabled lest they “couple-up” or have a high income job themselves?
Certainly having a second income into the house is no longer for fun money. It’s to stand still. Not many viable single income households out there today, unless state subsidised (say council housing, or working family payment).
