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. "

    • You can get a card at the till, though, to get the discount. You don't have to carry it with you (or load it onto your phone), you can just get a different card each time. Not sure what happens if they notice 🤣
    • Yes..that may be the case but membership STARTING at £115 a month is still unafforable for many. Council gyms also have a large range of equipment and I had a  PT at Dulwich leisure centre when I was in Full Time employment who was incredible and even kept in contact during lockdown giving me a program I could do at home and checking in weekly at no charge or personal gain for herself. I dont doubt that Fit For may be a good gym (Its been in situ long enough so must be doing something right) However the cost of membership means it is affordable for the few not the many. If I could afford that kind of fee I would rather get a train to Canary Wharf and go to Virgin active where theres a pool and incredible classes and facilities 
    • This sounds great 👍 
    • We found a red TREK bike yesterday that had clearly been stolen and dumped. Would love to reunite it with its owner. Get in touch if you know whose it is.
