Thank you for posting. My aunt, Sandra Morris, took part in this. She appears on the 'trying on the cap' scene at 2'21". She sadly passed away last year and it is in going through her personal possessions I discovered some photos of the filming and looked up this film. Great to keep social history alive in this way.

The video quality is absolutely perfect for being 50 years old 👌

Wonderful-thank you for sharing.Charming,touching and nostalgic-Look At Life at it's best.Great footage of late 60's London

When traffic wardens were traffic wardens not income generators.

I like watching videos of England during this particular era. My parents lived there from 67-70 and they always raved about how it was such a wonderful place to live versus NYC.

I think the senior wardens 50 years ago would've seen active service in WW2 ..... they look ex military ...decent

Clean women in smart uniforms: now unwashed men in shabby shell suits.

not one burka in sight how nice

I used to see Harry Secombe in his roller when he came through South Wimbledon on his way home when he lived in Surrey.

what a very diffearnt Uk we lived in the 1960s We had standards even the TW looked smart and they were part of the police service I hate 2014 please take me back

Things looked better in 1968.

Now 99% African..............

Ah, the good old push mower.

The yellow peril in the days when it wasn't seen as a council cash cow

London looking good back in a day, not so good right now.

Lovely Rita Meter Maid.....

WOW I love this video Thanks for posting I was a Met Police TW in the 1980's see Just another Day traffic wardens

This is classic! In more ways than one. So much awesome!

5.00, the lotus cortina would be worth a bit now!!

Thanks for Uploading.

Pretty easy well payed fun walking job. It seems the 60's 70's were full of easy well payed fun jobs.

we no longer have traffic wardens today they had more power then the parking attendants today they were employed by police forces now the local council either employs or subs it out to a private company

I know everyone hates traffic wardens but if we didn't have parking restrictions then towns and city's would grind to a halt and emergency services couldn't get through

Back when London wasn't the third world...looked so much better and cleaner

Lovely Rita Mter Maid

Inner city decay started here.

The female traffic warden earned £15.00 a week... bloody hell.

Flipping parking machines still don't give change.

I spat my beer out when she said people would be surprised to learn traffic wardens walk two miles a day like that’s a massive distance. Two miles is absolutely nothing. She must’ve spent most of her working day in Soho cafes drinking coffee.

I ❤all these Look At Life videos I’ve watched some on Talking Pictures Freeview channel 82 Life seemed simpler and we had more freedoms Different times, different people But we’re they better times back then - I’m not really sure to be honest 🇬🇧🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

That toy MV Augusta racing motorcycle the young boy has would be worth a lot of money in good condition now.

I always like to put the amounts in inflation calculators. £16.00 pay per week in 1968 is about £347.76 per week in 2024, £18.083.72 per year in 2024, US$22,966.07 or about $11.04 per hour. The 6p per 15 minutes in the meter is £1.30 per 15 minutes today, £5.20 per hour or $6.60. Not enough pay if you ask me. Be nice to the traffic warden. I wonder if the 19 people all lined up so politely and dressed nicely to watch the argument at the start of this film, would step in if they start punching each other (it's the way things are now). Anyway, parking meters still don't give change, but they now take credit cards.

I remember those old meters as a kid as they were still around in the 80s, and always wondered what the difference was between the yellow "Excess Charge" and the red "Penalty". These days it seems that you can be just a minute late and you're straight on to a penalty. xD

“Yes, of course it’s Harry Seecum”. Why on earth would it be that person. Many people drove that model RR. And who the heck is Harry?

Proper barbecue 60s style.

That was a Vincent black prince . Blimey .

Most meters were always robbed and out of order ! Eric looks like he was punching well above his pay grade with Rita .!

i enjoyed this

" the other kids are scared to hit me " lol

These are great videos, I have the volume 1, Transportion set, this one isn't on there, which set is this off please?

I remember those types of individual parking meters, row upon row of them, into the late 70s maybe even early 80s. Boy were they ugly! At least today you just get a ticket from a central machine.

gold

I wonder which one is "Lovely Rita" the meter maid. :)

Bloody Hell! - Vincents hair and a refugee chicken from Sainsburys!!! -Those were the Days.😃😃😃

Wi fi cctv camera's literally cleaned all the major roads in London in mid 2000's.

Eric is cool, I work as an ambulance practitioner in London. I wonder how long he worked in the LAS for.

Surprising no one mentioned Harry Secombe in the roller towards the end ?

Lovely Rita, Meter maid.

Ill bet when Harry Seacombe Got out of his Rolls Royce He was on his way or comming home from filming OLIVER the movie musical that was made The same year.

1000 pound a year? Loaded!

Lovely Rita, meter maid......

£15 a week. The mind boggles

kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pNJ9ltl2u8mZg5s.html "Mum looks smashing in her uniform" "The other kids are too afraid to hit me, because they think she's a police officer" omg!!

I wonder does anyone know anyone who was in these videos (any in this series) or are they any viewers relatives ? or what road did Rita and her family live in etc

What has happened to London England ?

Now we have Londonstan

5:53 Ah the good old days when children were beat at school every day.

What's with the weird door handles in the meter maids house? Funny little diagonal strips above the normal position.

yes love,embassy staff car so jog on

@6:03 I don't care how much he pokes that chicken...that shit never gonna cook w the door open 🙈

Do what del boy does put an out of order hood over the meter😅😅😅

If you don't have Jesus you will burn for all eternity with the worst pain over and over

6:00, ever heard of a brush?

The car porn !

Lovely Rita meter maid...

Lovely Rita meter maid

£16 a week in 1968 equated to £1,135.12 per month in 2020. Not a lot these days, and not enough to live on in London.

Omg i did somebtraficvwardening in 2005 lol didnt change lol public enemy lol

More immigrants means more cars.

£16 a week ?? ? ? ?

London wardens get £16 a week. Well paid then!!

Traffic wardens should be re-introduced, not these civil enforcement officers who dont have a clue, and rarely speak the English language.

They were some black traffic wardens as well who don't get paid on there lunch hour

.....may I inquire discretely?...would you like to have some tea with me ?....

This whole clip looks like some North Korea propaganda. At least over there, they still have the same people and it's much more clean.

White flight these days!

Wow some of those cars I was born in 1968 so a lot of them were coming to the end of their motor lives but I knew what cars were what now in 2021 they all look the same bloody ugly bubble cars most of them Japanese no soul to them a bit like the modern world soul less and I don't like it one bit Great programme by the way

Disliked for sexism
