This is a normal post Never gets old
I realise it's a bit Daily Mail to gloat about how things were better back then, but damn London was a beautiful place then. Although that might have something to do with the richness of the addictive colour film stock Friese-Greene used.

This is a normal post When I lived in Southampton a few years ago I visited the dock museum and was stunned by how beautiful it was
before Ze Germans decimated it. Parts of the waterfront still are, but so much was lost.

Lovely Ikea there now though.

This is a normal post The good thing about film is that you don't have to breathe the smoggy, stinking air that was around.
But I generally agree with all this. Bring back the motor- and trolley-buses. There's still the entrance and rails to the old trolley-bus tunnel north of Kingsway. Always wanted to have a nose down there for some reason.

This is a normal post until the one at the end
finds that he's too early for section 47 so instead stops the filming with a clip round the ear and a nightstick to the clangers

This is a normal post That shot
as they go down Petticoat Lane is really haunting, with everyone paying attention to the camera and standing aside.

This is a normal post As that shot panned out, I was just thinking "all of these people are now dead".

This is a normal post i always think that
its sad and inevitable. Little did they know the people in the future will be peering back at them.

This is a normal post Me too
But it makes it worse in colour, with a half decent frame rate. There was always a slight detachment about watching jerky black and white, but this just rams home mortality like a stake to the heart.

This is a normal post I liked...
how most people moved out the way and were seemingly fascinated, while there were a handful of people who seemed to respond with a "I'm not getting out of its bloody way" attitude.

This is a normal post Lovely,
I do wonder how we managed before cash machines though. I remember my first proper job c.1984 was pre-cashpoints and I got £80 every Thursday lunchtime, but can't for the life of me recall what happened next.
