The fifties and sixties of my childhood in Liverpool seem like a dream. I left in 69 for Australia - still a kid really.

I remember life as a child during the 70's and looking forward to a great future not realising that the world of 70's Liverpool would change to such a extent that when I look back now it may as well have been a hundred years ago.

Dear Fran, thank you so much for unique documentary film. Even people who leave now in England don't know their history and "learn" it from cinema blockbusters. You gave us rare opportunity to use a real time machine! Man, you made a great help for mankind's knowledge about our past. We are proud of you.

After growing up in Liverpool in the 1950s, much of this magical window from the 1920s resonate with life in the 50s and 60s. Young men stoically leaving their families for far away beginning's in Canada. As late as the 60s young people left school and went straight into work aged 15, and later into the forces or Merchant Navy. I often recall the marvellous range of shops in the city centre, now no more due to online and supermarkets unheard of in the 50s 60s. This film also shows a very ordered and smartly dressed society that existed until the late 1970s.

The nurses were the generation of career women without men who made changes in society when the war cut the supply of men way back and they had to adjust to the new reality of making their own way in the world.

Lynn Wylin They had very little "fast food" and made things from scratch. They had few labor saving devices. They didn't have much disposable income for sugary foods. Few had desk jobs. Few came home and just sat. Their amusements were active. And a lot of them were totally worn out by 65 if they got that far. We eat as if we still led a life of unending toil. I imagine in another few generations people will have adjusted their food to match their idleness. :) It should also be mentioned that the "fat cats" through the post WWII era were the rich. Nobody else had that kind of dough or a large number of servants doing their chores. The rich always want what is hard to attain by everyone else, whether it is being extremely fat or extremely thin.

Bosnia. We don't hear much about that part of the world anymore. Things have settled down a lot there, at long last. Why does anyone ever think a war will be short, aside maybe from a nuclear holocaust of WWIII? Arrogance and/or ignorance? In the US Civil War the South thought it would be a short war, too. I guess you have to be able to believe six impossible things before breakfast or you couldn't happily march off to war.

Lar M The title can be understood as starting from the Victorian Days in 1897 and going on to the 1920s rather than the Victorian era ran from 1897 to the 1920s, which everyone knows can't be true so the alternative meaning should be the one you use when you read it.
