Trevor: Whose house is this?

Tony: It’s his. I mean, it’s my brother’s. It was in Compton Road. Now, I’m a bit tired ...

Была ли жизнь лучше, когда Тони был молодым? Почему он так считает?

Ответ: Yes, Tony thinks life was more interesting in those days. He thinks so because people didn't use to watch TV every evening. Instead, they used to listen to the radio, go for walks, go cycling, and sing songs.
Да, Тони считает, что в те времена жизнь была интереснее. Он так думает, потому что люди не смотрели телевизор каждый вечер. Вместо этого они слушали радио, ходили на прогулки, катались на велосипеде и пели песни.
