Vintage transport film - Link Span - 1956 

Yes, great times indeed, a time where money was not the be all and end all. When some rail branch lines were unprofitable, but kept running anyway, but so what? I mean the fire brigade - police, medical help for the masses and so on never made money. But in this day and age it's all money money money. Oh how true it is that the LOVE of money is the rout of all evil. You are quite right it was a wonderful time to live through, and I speak as an ex rail worker born in 1946.

My late dad too, on the Arnhem & Amsterdam , chef & steward , have a certificate of Excellence gained in London when he was just 9 at Tollesbury primary school , the same school I attended where I was caned by A Mrs X on my left hand for being a lefthander , remember going to London docks with him when there were still steam tugs "Sun 1 & Sun 2 !

Spot on mate.

Racist !

You clearly haven't been to Paris this century. But you must be a lefty to rush to judgement as you have, to suit your narrative.

@@alanmarr3323 Why the exclamation mark instead of a question?

@Studebaker. Only some parts of Paris, not all by any means.

@@studebaker4217 You've 'rushed to judgement' also with your lefty allusion.
