Skilled craftsmen Jobs people could take pride in. Such a shame we have lost those skills and have replaced it with a throw away society.

Remember when you could rebuild things? Good times. Now days the body control modual would flip shit if you tried any of that, the seat structure wouldn't hold up long enough to warrent rebuilding, and the motor would have to have a rod hanging out the side before theyd even consider pulling it from service

Sometimes i love the algorithms. A time of low tech, incandescent lights and identifiable vehicles.

And then there was chaos. Just as The Second Law predicts. Until . . .

John murphy all talk. He has done nothing to address the issues.

I don't miss pavements carpeted with dog poo, fag smoke everywhere, smelly old people, grey streets, truly awful food, black and white publications but I miss the concept of public service and a state that enabled working people to live decent lives, live in safe homes and raise families. Thatcher depleted humanity in the U.K.

when we called the uk England & long before the dinghy invasion which by the way is costing the uk taxpayer £10 million each day thanx Tony blair hope you are enjoying youre gold pension ? youre alright jack!

So fake and stupid

As a joiner in a workshop it was very interesting and to see yanke pump screwdriver my dad used one of those 😊l wonder if this place is still there

Michael Denison, star of many 1940's films, now only a ghost in a land he showed, that is now only a ghost, and now betrayed !

Back when London was a real city built by hard working men. Sad to see it today

Most of them wears a tie.

England before The dinghy invasion !

My grandad used to drive a routmaster in Lancaster.... :)

Thank you for posting this.

The migration and Islam had wrecked such a beautiful english country.

One man dared crack a grin,,he was probably fired immediately,,only misery matters!

God I hate the modern world.

And that's why everybody loved those old buses, they had a soul as they were not just throwaway objects. Treated that way with pride and TLC they could be used and re-used indefinitely.

All done in a shirt and tie. I was taught to drive in a shirt and tie 👔. Dear boy!

Beautiful film. Thank you from Nottingham Uk

15 miles to the gallon....

Glorious days and no foreigners telling u what to do

That was just a little bit too good

I'd almost forgot the Tapley meter ! Used for brake testing on MOTs before rollers became the norm. It's been decades since I last saw and used one !

This was at a time when it was realised that state enterprises could in many cases be tun more efficiently than fractionated private ones and without siphoning away tax funds in profit to tax havens. Such state enterprises were good for our economy and society and for the people that worked in them.

Carpenter 🪚 Wearing Suit and Tie while working Most British thing ever seen

Il n'y avait pas l'esprit du "jetable" dans les moeurs à cet époque. Beau reportage historique

Wow a crane driver in a suit tye and hat Nowadays Some foul mouthed asshole making horrible comments about women 😢 haven’t times changed

Such a great example of an all encompassing system..

Workers and ties ❤

Unfortunately American Bankers(because it hasn't been British leadership in this role for yrs)bought up all the Engineering companies, I know I worked at Perkins Diesel Engines, when bought out 1500, people lost a job, me included , I just went back on the spanners in the local garages, but the pay was shite

@2:58 "like a shotgun cartridge going into the breach, the bus moves towards disintegration" Goes a lot harder than it has any right to

Great step back in time. Look no white lines on the roads…however did they cope! Cos they had common sense :)

Influence of WWII manufacturing evident in this civil production system

What a fantastic little doc. Thanks for posting. ❤ Funny watching this. They said the RT's were replacing the trolley busses. Interesting how they were replacing a less locally polluting vehicle with a diesel powered one. Now we have electric ones but at what cost? I think we should have kept trolley busses longer until we figured out a better one for the local and wider environment. We should have kept trams too. Now it costs countless millions to re-establish them. Crazy.

If you think about it, we have progressively made things worse throughout the years. The older the better.

nice

Love it. Back then, when things were made to last and were taken great care about. Nowadays this is just unimaginable...

Properly thought out resorcefull set up not like today's throw it away and get a new one

This is soo interesting. I was born in the 70s and it’s wierd to think these was only a few years before I was born 😅

I doubt if London will ever be that quiet again (except for Covid)

Holy.. what did just see?

Fantastic viewing. ❤

Felt quite emotional watching this. An England gone now.

What an amazing time. I wonder if our children will look at the 80's the same 🤔

We used to visit a company making tautliner trailers for off cuts for school DT department, sheet, angle, box, treadplate, steel, stainless, alloy. Spoke to the MD about his product, it's absolute crap he said, I can do much better than this, but it's designed and manufactured down to a price, they all go out through a capital company on 5 year lease, they are designed to fall to pieces basically as soon as the lease has expired. We are an incredibly wasteful society, the local University is flattening 300 student flats that are 30 years old, the Victorian/Edwardian railway companies built to last forever. And as for all these PFI hospitals and schools that President Blair organised, they are the worst of the lot. Still that nice Mr Starmer has pledged to put everything right.😉. Some 8100dy hope he's got .😬🤣🤣🤣

We'll meet at the cemetery gates for a cuppa!
