Thanks very much for making this available. I love these atmospheric old films, especially those by Betjamin. It takes me back to my days at the university. I don't remember hearing a jazz version of Ilka Moor Baht 'at before!
same in much of London, glasgow, Birmingham. all carved to bits. it seems that anything that is pleasing and harmless is penalised, knocked down, turned into a wine bar or 'phil collinsed in some other way. take going on a train; you can't be spontaneous. you have to book weeks in advance or pay a kings ransom. anyway, peace to you all, Iain w in glasgow x

One thing Sir John and I have totally in common and I agree wholeheartedly on is steam railways and our love of beautiful architecture. I dispise Contemporary Futurama Buck Roger's architecture and decor 🤢🤮🤮🤮🤮 and he definitely does as well!!
