Yes like mass unreported paedophilia in care homes! It really isn't what we perceived it. There was also huge poverty in inner city areas and slums.

@@ahassen1236 It's absurd isn't it. False memories of a time that never existed from people who weren't even born. I remember seeing a similar video to this once with a bunch of people in the comments saying the same type of stuff. The video was dated August 1939.......... like WHAT?

The butcher's van scene, the pub with the PC chatting to the landlord, the school and the village scene with a large church are all Tanworth in Arden. R H Simmonds was the village butcher there.

Regarding the voice mentioned in MrBooojangles enquiry below, I believe it is Tim Hunter who did no end of voice-over work in the 50s, 60s and 70s. He is particularly well known for narrating most of the 'Look at Life' general interest films shown in Rank cinemas during that period. He also dubbed voices for TV and films, notably that of the star of 'Jason and the Argonauts' (1963) Todd Armstrong, replacing his American accent - although I'm not sure why since the producers used American leads in most of their Ray Harryhausen fantasy movies and didn't dub them.

Another piece of cosy myth making; at a time when the vast majority of British people lived in towns and cities, the village provides the core of the narrative, giving us (even then) that warm, cosy nostalgia feeling. Around @5:15 I think the lorry is dropping down the hill towards Machynlleth, with tal-y-llyn in the background

63 was a A reg i think

@leopoldbluesky 10 ай бұрын

Not all vehicles registered in 63 were given A reg, it was rolled out slowly depending on what county it was registered with - the days before it was centralised at the DVLC in 1965, when C reg was introduced. I had a 1964 Humber that had no reg letter.

Oh dear oh dear. I think you will find 'Great' Britain was already hauling in shiploads of immigrants by this time to do jobs that the home grown did not want. They just would not be seen in the idyllic villages or smart parts of town. On the vehicle note, most of BMC's problems and, later those of British Leyland, were caused by poor management and resting on laurels, as it were. Self important union leaders also had a hand.

@ 5:24: It as indeed quite nice and oh so reassuring to see that roadside fence with several posts missing on what appears to be a cliff. Could it also have been the last thing a driver saw? One hopes he or she was not driving an Austin. No offense to all you Austin lovers out there. I'm just 'sayin' '.
