I don’t want to hear a word from any of that generation making fun of us Gen Xrs again.

Those are English kids. I was a teen in the 1950s, in the USA, and never saw anyone looking like that, even the ones who imitated Elvis.

What a great site. I can’t stop looking at all the pictures. Brings back memories from my 50’s childhood. Thanks for sharing.

I'd say they were European - the leather jackets with “Basel” on the back is a good hint. Probably Swiss, but could be French or German.

Big US style belt buckles never took off in the UK...:^)
