2003 is my guess anyway, I was only a kid, but huge nostalgia of summer holidays as a kid with this sort of vibe, it just felt different back then!

  2. TBH if It weren’t for the cars, I’d believe that this was last week.

  5. What id give for it to be like that sometimes. Phones only made really for what they needed to do call and text. Not really a worry about some arsehole coming and sticking a camera in your face while you’re minding your own business. Connection just seemed a lot more real back then.

  7. I’d hope for more sunburn to make the picture more quintessentially British.

  9. Back when Youngs was independent and brewing beer at the old site instead of just a brand name for a multinational.

  10. I had a Megane just like that, but in green. Comfiest seats of any car I’ve ever owned.

  16. This was taken about a quarter of a century ago. We haven’t changed much at all. Imagine a photo from 50 years ago.

  18. There are many hurty wrists and hips from sitting in the lawn like that.

  19. The nostalgia I get from this photo. Thank you for sharing ❤️

  21. Great pub. it’s still there and pretty much unchanged.

  22. Yeah this care free vibe you see was when pints were reasonable. Not £7.50! Grab some tinnies from Sainsbury’s instead .

  24. Can see a Renault Megan and Saab 93 or 900.

    I would say around 2002-2005.

    Can’t see any england flags in shot so no euros or world cup that summer.

    2003 is probably right tbh.

  25. Look at those poor sods, completely unaware of the price of a pint in 2025. Look how happy they are.

    Bastards.

  27. I thought the name of the pub was ” the crooked bellend ”

    Think I need to get my vision checked lol.

  28. We’re still like this, I love how much of a summer, outdoor culture we have in ghis country

  29. You really need a NSFW tag before you go sharing titties like that.

  31. I landed my first job in 2003, which was in Wimbledon. We would head down to the Crooked Billet, or the Dog and Fox in the village, on Fridays after work. Such nicer and happier times (comparatively speaking) 🥲

  32. Here’s the original on Alamy:

    From the metadata it looks like it could be 2000 or 2001?

    Sadly most of these people won’t be so _Young_ anymore.

  33. r/millenials wants their photo back and asks you to please stop taking the piss, this was only 10 years ago

  34. Well it’s pre smart phone and easy internet access in your pocket.

    What do you not see in the pics – Phones!

    This is genuinely a different era.
