🎶🎵 "If you're slaving all alone or relaxing, or you're working in a noisy fact-or-y, just set yourself free when the clock strikes three, 'cos everything stops for tea!" 🎶🎵 Happy days!

A hot cuppa fixes everything! ☕️

We moved house a lot when I was a child and Tea chests were used for packing. Sometimes there was a bit of tea left at the bottom.

We need to imlement mandatory tea breaks. It will improve productivity and reduce stress.

The smell of the tea in the packing factory would be wonderful

If your working at a stove or relaxing,

"There are no worries since the cups are thrown away after usage" - how have the times changed.

Like a true Englishman, I paused tis video in order to go and make a cup of tea 🇬🇧☕️

My father hated to have his Army unit attached with the English troops during the Korean war!! He told of going up a hill under fire and looking around and all the UK troops found a hole and set up for tea time. Stopped in the middle of a battle?

Thinking that most of the jobs in this documentary no longer exists 58 years later today gives me chills

Thanks for uploading this. I love KZbin for this reason.

I was born in 1966 and yet I have nostalgia for an era I did not concientiously partecipate in.

[@MickAngelhere]

Amazing seeing London like that , how much has changed

[@bejay69]

Anyone remember collecting the cards from the tea packets? I do..

[@petertr2000]

Good old KZbin Algorythm! Also, "90 Thousand Million". Really jarring to hear that, back when a Billion was "a million million".

[@philjamieson5572]

As a child, back then, I'd enjoy 3 or 4 cuppas with my weekend cooked breakfasts. 2 sugars in each. Thanks for this excellent piece.

ever since the demise of saucers , teabreaks, and teapots this country has gone down hill.
