I wished mine teachers could have spared a single period in a month for documentaries I really like these but none of my friends watch these so they think I am to much when telling them what I had learned 🫣
So I'm from the US and hoping to visit the UK this year, specifically London. I would love to check out some heritage railways while I'm there, but not sure how far away from the capital some of them are and what it would take to get to them since I'd be relying entirely on public transport.
Why Why The annoring music in the background, we are in the country on a waterway, I wan't to hear the water NOT damb awfull music. Please Please take it OFF.
How did they keep the country running if they were hiding under the ground shitting their pants can someone educate me , as I understand they didn’t put out any fires , they didn’t sort through rubble for injured kids , they don’t attend to the wounded pissing with blood, they didn’t go hungry either did they, and if shit did go off fishy ballsack would be the first down the whole keeping the dust off his greasy helmet head , boris couldn’t fit down the chute , they probably have their own personal bunkers with caviar and champagne for breakfast the cunning pilfering money grabbing lying control freaks, fuck the rest jack we’ve got food and a fifty foot thick door , all this government does is take our money to make arms to start more war as the have done for centuries attempting to control the world , no wonder we are now overrun with immigration it’s a lesson being taught for the previous shit the royals of this country caused invading everyone else’s peace dodgy deals lies and underhanded dealings to benefit their own pockets fucking scum .
Back in 1910 the Stockton and Darlington had 4 tracks. The propellers for Titanic and Olympic were made in Darlington, and transported on all 4 tracks (spanning 4 trains) to Hartlepool docks, and shipped to Belfast. Look how crap the S & D is now compared to then. And running Pacer trains, the ultimate insult from Maggie Thatcher (spit).

Blimey were more likely to have a nuclear war now in 2023 than any Time during the cold war yet are nation shruggs off threats by Russia its a dangerous game we are playing.
I have heard, from my grandfather, a member of British secret services, of an amazing operation to secretly store enough oil to maintain shipping throughout the war. One extensive tank, set in hills above Glasgow, is identified by Guiness Book of world records, as possessing the longest sustained echo. Where and how many were established is secret, but it must be enormous. I assume previous excavations might have been exploited. Chasing red spies until 1924, into China, being a cousin of the US ambassador, Joseph P Kennedy, my grandfather worked at a high level.
A most excellent vocal narration for an equally most excellent documentary: top marks for balanced and appropriate intonations to communicate empathy regarding the dearth of what we all cherish to an nth degree, and for which we are all sadly responsible, at least in part (we all like our cars that afforded us individual freedom to go wherever we wouldst, buy whatever we cared, and back to our hove doorsteps whenever and however late the hour…. But railways had their costs to cover and we couldn’t afford the tickets to cover, as for collectively paying through taxes collected…Maybe where we handed over so much to countries that scourged our very name…
As an American I must say that is is fortunate these historic sites have been preserved, unlike in America where so many historic buildings have been torn down to make way for parking lots. Nevertheless, we have come a long way since the 60's and 70's.
Not all the dead are under ground imagine whT goes on now with these tunneling machines chine could be under our feet waiting for the order to pop out with all their war machinery and in 1 day it could all be over
Thinking governments should suck up the benefits of what they cause well the innocent people hide in bunkers who cares if the government is around to run the country's after they mess it all up ..
Building underground structures is a good thing during WW2. Its safer and it gives the population something to do by digging. Maybe they were paid for their time too so they would have money to live on.
