Britain's young people have always been among the first to change their style, their music, their fashions. In clothes and fashion there are no rules. The visitor to Britain will find clothes shops selling every kind of fashion. From the classic gentleman's suit for work in the City to the most outrageous clothes, "gear" in young people's language.
Hairstyles are also the subject of creative talent. Any colour is allowed.
Eccentricity has always been an aspect of the British character. The older generation is sometimes surprised and puzzled.
Surprisingly, young people like to buy old clothes. Clothes that have not been worn for many years. Fashions and styles belonging to another era. And they like every kind of accessory, like badges and jewellery. Young people in Britain are as resourceful as anywhere else.
British pop stars are famous all over the world.
Britain's cosmopolitan mixture means that all kinds of music and fashion are popular. The young people are concerned about many issues: unemployment, the problems of the Third World, nuclear power and ecology.
On the outside there is fashion and music. On the inside there is doubt and concern. But that is another story.
