Thanks for posting this. Like all the Look At Life films, it’s amazing how much ground they cover in one mere episode. Great snippets of information about British life from a now bygone era. Fascinating stuff.
Another great J Arthur Rank production from the early 1960s with the optimism dial showing full throttle. Captures the people, clothes, vehicles, etc in typical Look at Life style. These short films are a wonderful archive, trapping a bygone era for future generations to marvel at. More, more, more, please!
All about bringing from the 60’s. Great piece on that masterpiece of British engineering, the Bailey Bridge st about the 5 min mark. Set in Edinburgh of all places!
All different at Menai now,Brittania bridge is the main road rail bridge, and the other one is the secondary one.The Brittania bridge was burnt down in 1970.
Never heard the word “controversy” pronounced the way Tim Turner does in this film - though he can be forgiven for not being able to pronounce Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch!
When men were real men and allowed to do proper work and not wrapped in bubble wrap and cotton wool. Now if you cut your finger, paperwork needs to be filled in, investigated why it happend, training on how not to do it again and PPE being made to be worn. So glad I have retired. What a health and safety world it is now. Back in my day you either carried on or put black tape over your cut and sorted it out later, if you could be bothered.

I drove across the Perth Narrows Bridge this morning. A 2nd bridge has been added next to it plus a railway line now runs between the two bridges.
Love the pre Health and Safety painting the forth bridge
Look how empty the roads and bridges are. We have significantly over populated this beautiful island.
it isn't Britain any more
@@Satters Let me guess, you're an old white male.
@@harbourdogNL yes indeed
0:47 I would not walk up that bridge without a safety harness, and hand-rails...
I wonder what the life expectancy was, going up that bridge with nothing more than a pair of gloves.
2:58 What a lovely, bucolic scene. Wonder how it looks today?

9sqn appear to have clothes on in this video
?
It isn't 9 Sqn they are a TA airborne Sqn from Edinburgh, I wonder if they still exist 😎
I really like the paratrooper's coat.
The Dennison Smock was issued during WW2 to Parachute and Commado Regiments to wear over their battle dress uniform.
When men could be men without question.
it must have been a great time to be alive, but people would probably only see the hardships of the day.

@@cornwallkev201 Isn't that just hyperbole: does one extreme justify the other?
Funny how the music dates it. No doubt sounded fine when first composed but now a little jaded to my ears.
The music dated this?? Are you sure you're commenting on the correct thing? The music was the least of the things that dated this.
