Release date June 1940.


Context for June '40: Dunkirk evacuation just finished. Channel Islands bombed and invaded. Paris occupied.


Interesting that this escapist propaganda (the English village as *God's gift*, "learning and loveliness" = England) still holds appeal.

shorty don't know if it's of interest ,but on James Barbers thread there's a note of ?4500 being allocated for something called the historic photos fund

East Dulwich councillor - how can I help?


"Posted by James Barber Yesterday, 01:00PM


Eaery year local ward councillors get to decide how to spend some devolved Cleaner, Greener, Safer budget. The scheme started when Lib Dems first led the council in 2002 with only one year when it didn?t operate when the Labour administration wanted to use the money on pet Olympic projects. "

    • Sire you weren't around the back of the station where asking for a fag has a whole different connotation
    • Very grateful for any recommendations (not ads, please) of sleep consultants that anyone has used with success. On 5-6 wake ups a night with our son and needing some help to change things. Thank you!
    • Yes, should have given up by now but haven’t. Was waiting for my train yesterday and went into WHS on platform to buy a pack of fags. Almost feel to the floor when guy quoted me £28.00 for a packet of Silk Cut purple. Was a long day for me and thought I had totally misheard him! Asked again, only to be told that that was the price whuch is well over the odds..when I queried it as have bought, admittedly end of last year was told “ this is what management charges”. Surely this can’t be right…fags stayed in WHS paws while I bought some in Herne Hill at normal price. Still reeling over shock…..     
    • I use the one in peckham where lidles is they are really good if you need somewhere closer
