I like the bit at 4:40ish
where tea is sent out at a moment's notice to fire fighters desperate for a cuppa

gotta love Britain and its love for Tea
such a simple loveable and soothing drink reduces even the most stressful situations into a drinkfest

Anyone else noticed how no-one sounds remotely like this any more?
I'm not talking about the accent, so much as the actual timbre of the announcer's voice.
How the hell did the British Empire manage to intimidate the entire world talking like that?

We didn't actually speak like that at the time either.
The reason for us brits all sounding so posh back in the day is due to the microphones of the time not being able to properly reproduce the base sounds of the human voice.

Really? Recordings didn't have much bass but TV types of the day where trained in that RP cut glass speech at the BBC.
Might be more to do with the modulation on the recordings, tape wow and flutter possibly gives the speakers voices a nervous warbling quiver. Or they need a piss.
