Thanks for all the info! You're right about youngsters going to Uni, in our day it was really an elite thing. I just took a 2 yr secretarial course at the local Further Ed and in 1969 went to work in a police station! Met my husband there who ended up being a police officer for 30 yrs. But I digress. I looked at the other film, a bit wacky what?!! Anyway keep safe and all the best. S.

Stay safe, here is a trip that I made in 1969 with my friends Tim and Bill to meet up with Tim's cousin Judy and her man Tony in Agadir. kzbin.info/www/bejne/aoHOgINneK12p6M

Needs some explanation - three college students up to their antics in Weymouth & Portland in the 60s. Where are they now, they will have grown up and did they get good jobs? Probably retired now? Did they enjoy the holiday/day trip? What were they studying at the time? It was actually interesting seeing my favourite seaside resort in the 1960s, it's a lovely place to go, there's something for everybody. I recognised almost every scene - Portland, beach & esplanade, Greenhill Gardens, Dorchester road etc. Pity there's only one other comment on here!

I'm the one on the right in the thumbnail picture, in those days not many students went on to college ( I knew no one who went to Uni) We just left school and you could get whatever job you wanted at age 16, I from a young age wanted to work in the movie industry and easily got a job working for Pathe in Wardour st. London ending up with my own production company in London W.1. I retired to South West France in 2005. Roy with red hair went into the medical business, not sure where he worked and Ray is retired now also but I can't remember where he worked. I'm glad that you enjoyed my home movie, Great times.
