Ha Haha happy days for you then.lol

And that truck is the same as we had in Liverpool, British Shelvoke and Drewery. Now we have Mercedes for some reason .......

Well Said

The road lobby and the privatisation lobby ruined this country by ripping it up and selling it to the highest bidder to save a few pennies at the top by shorting everyone at the bottom instead of giving it the investment and care it needed to be useful again. What was done to our infrastructure and utilities was akin to scrapping an E Type Jag because the carburettors was playing up, or throwing away a whole china set because one of the saucers was chipped on the bottom.

I think town planning has done far more harm than good. It’s the opposite of organic development. It thinks it can see the whole picture but doesn’t know what it doesn’t know.

@@ReddsoldierI’m sorry but how an earth are you blaming privatisation when the closure were due to nationalisation the beeching cuts started in 1950 only three years after the transport act coming into affect and nationalising them, there were 100s of instances were government refused to sell the lines to private individuals and forced them to be broken up it was the centralisation that caused it. It’s also the plot of the 1953 film the titfield thunderbolt. Many of those regional lines were created by the aristocrats/majors etc of an area and weren’t intended to make money the state stole them, killed the aristocratic class and then destroyed them for not being profitable

Right around the same time the chickens came home to roost, funny that.

Toronto, Canada has entered that reality :(

I doubt Khan could drive a dodgem car, let alone a real one. An absolute joke of a mayor.

Yes, and thankfully the vast inner ring road was never built or nearly all of the elevated walkways. Moorfields station though was built with the entrance 20 feet above street level. There was no need for the 2nd Mersey tunnel as the road traffic disappeared from the old docks moving to the Seaforth container base. The original tunnel is closed on Sundays showing this.

@@nevillemason6791 The old tunnel closed on Sundays? It's closed this Sunday 4/7/21 for maintenence only, 6am-13.00 one way and 13.00 - 18.00 hrs in the other direction. Nothing to do with lack of traffic, both Kingsway and Queens way tunnels are usually open 7 days.

Look at the company that built them, the workers spent more time on the picket line than they did in the factory

They were s#it boxes

I think they were accident damaged cars

@@arunparkin2552 That is what the commentary implied...

@@davidviner4932 The original mini was one of the finest cars ever built , please don't comment unless you have an actual clue what you are talking about ......

It did and I think - generally - people had greater pride in appearance then. However these films were made with artists and cinematographers who ensured the scene was 'pretty' and 'aesthetic' prior to shooting. There are plenty of documentary films made in the same era that show the poverty and filth many lived in, still residing in Victorian slums.

33million ish today

The recipe was :- Take a tiny over crowded island Allow millions of extra people in Concrete over as much as possible to build motorways,by-passes,housing estates. Offer the lowest ever interest rates in history so that we can all afford cars. Reduce the police numbers by 20,000 so that there won't be many traffic cops and no one is available to change the films in speed cameras Clamp down on anyone pointing out the daftness of these policies and call them " racists"

Well, there are now over 40 million vehicles in the UK so they didn't overestimate. 50 years might have been more realistic, though.

Binmen were called " dustmen'" in the UK up till the 1980s or thereabouts.

Enter Boris. 😂😂
