#Did Thatcher and the minners strikes still happen?

[weird-tea]

So I was thinking about what genres of music Lockwood and Co. would be into and a thought occured to me - do The Beatles exist in their world?

No cause think about it, it’s esenchally a divergent timeline from our own where The Problem happened and this had some radical effects on things like the UK’s economy and things like child labour laws. Their version of the governement got rid of captital punishment because it was making ghosts instead of why they did it in real life. And I was talking to my parents, who were students in London for years, about the books and they thought it was strange that most of the characters are actually from London, that genrally London is full of people from other places who have moved there, so it’s odd that at least one of them isn’t from Scotland or France or something. But then London is a massive hot spot for ghosts and the UK’s economy isn’t great so in that timeline there would be way less people moving to London for work from other places.

All of this to say, there are probably loads of other changes too that just don’t come up in the books. So there’s a good chance that musicians from the UK from the last 50 years either just didn’t get big in that timeline or did but the story is different. So it’s entirely possible Lockwood and Co. have never heard of the Beatles. And now I’m just wondering about a Beatles AU where at least one or two of them have Talent and become agents instead of musicians.

#lockwood and co #The Problem #The Beatles #Just think of anything the UK contributed to pop culture and there's a good chance it's not a thing in that world or is just very different #Do they have Doctor Who??? #Did Thatcher and the minners strikes still happen? #Cause without that there's no Billy Elliot #Is Parlament still in London or did they move it up North where there are less Ghosts? #How did The Problem effect Ireland and the troubles? #What's going on in Scotland??
