This is a really cool film (nice soundtrack too) and made the very same year my mum was born. And erm.. 32 years before I was born. That's right kids, I'm almost as old as geoff

London in 1927
Incredible colour footage of 1920s London shot by an early British pioneer of film named Claude Frisse-Greene, who made a series of travelogues using the colour process his father William - a noted cinematographer - was experimenting with. It's like a beautifully dusty old postcard you'd find in a junk store, but moving.

Old? Methinks you're too young
I always say you're only as old as you feel.
That was excellent DRuM. Thanks
Make you wonder sometimes, if you were alive in those days how you'd cope
with living in general. I think we're pretty spoilt today.

90% of q3w would perish.
Because you actually had to be useful in those days to survive.

at least, if you can suspend your disbelief long enough to imagine that he has a job
