With family in Southall and Acton this side of town and Plaistow and West Ham the other side....
I used to go either to or through Southall almost daily well into the late '70's...
I prefer to remember as I saw it rather than 'history' based on the utterings of the right wing press....
History gets altered/adjusted to suit... In a couple of decades time when you read the histories of the wars you were at do you think you'll recognise them as you saw/recollect them?

Now funnily enough it is just possible that the mind of a youngster is the thing that isn't quite accurate. For example, by my recollection it never rained once during my school summer holidays, although of course it probably did.
Immigration from the Caribbean started in the 50's on a fairly decent scale and was of course encouraged. As a percentage of the UK population at the time they would have been a tiny . But to suggest that it never happened is like denying the holocaust.

Its very sad that people like you on this site just have to get petty and spiteful when someone argues a different point of view to yours.
As a positive, it probably makes you feel better.
