    Thanks for these great nostalgic films, I get upset some times when I see how nice our country used to be. I don't think those old telephones are hideous tho, I like them.

    I joined the London Fire Brigade in 1967. Fires were far more intensive then. By the time I retired, the frequency and intensity was so much lower.

    I didn't know about the London salvage corps, very interesting.

    "Hideous"? GTS installed hundreds of those all over the country in private (internal) phone systems and no-one ever complained ;-). Although I do admit the sleek, beige T4 successor was much sexier and even made brief appearances in James Bond films!

    I say, how very posh we were in 1966. I wonder what happened since then?😂😂😂😂

    Thank you kindly for posting these Look at Life episodes -- though I disagree with your characterization of the old telephones as ugly!

    Bring back the bell system, much better than the noise we have now.

    Wait - less than 5,000 _lived_ in London when this film was made?! I assume he meant the city center?
    Wow - have to see how many live there today

      You need to look up what ' The City of London' means. It does not mean the same as 'the city of London'.

    Surprised that the firemen wore all black - high vis is a deffo requirement in their job. The firetrucks in the US allegedly can hit 70mph from rest in just 7 seconds.
