Recommended Posts

Fascinating piece of video IMO

 

 

Really tried to refrain from making a comment about it probably being a lot more fecking coloured these days but I failed! :laugh:

Makes me feel i was born 100 years too late. :yes:Can you imagine a world where people and government minded their own fecking business, a world without political correctness, CCTV, and over taxation. A world without uncontrolled immigration, a soft penal system, and the sexualisation of children by the media. A world where basic freedom was a right and not a privilege. i was born 100 years to late :yes:

There only seems to be good points to living back then. People respected the law and each other a lot more.

 

Downside was men lived till they were 49 on average and many women died in childbirth.

In the 1920s Woolwich was a small town on the outskirts of London , mostly surrounded by orchards and marshland where there was hare rabbit running the fields . I wouldn't like to show any of the inhabitants of the 1920s a film of London today!

I'm sure there was plenty of bad Walshie. Poor healthcare, poverty, work safety conditions, the justice system (I wonder how many people convicted were really guilty and how many guilty ran free due to piss poor forensic science?), many relatives dead in the aftermath of WWI, WWII only a matter of years away. Rose tinted glasses and all that... :thumbs:

Just getting to the end of reading The Game Keeper by Iain Niall. Great book and sure puts things in to perspective...life wasn't all roses back then that is for sure and a lot harder than life today.
