    I love how they made York look like its English namesake. Every time i have been there it has been an interesting but desolate shithole. Apparently they had photoshop back in the Fifties.

    How does it look like York in the UK?
    No city wall, No narrow Tudor streets, no roman cobbled streets and no York Minster. At one time it was the tallest building in England.
    Country towns in Oz are only desolate shitholes until you mix with the locals. Then they become quite interesting, forget the tourist bureau, find the pub, mix with people,
    you will come away with a very different outlook on country towns.

    Cool video. Was it much colder those days than it is now? I saw people walking around the city shots wearing gloves and heavy coats and it looked like the sun was out. Suppose it could've been a sunny day in winter?

    I reckon about 1950. What I notice is how smartly dressed everyone looks. Not like the slobs we are these days.

    edit - just watched the start again and noticed it's dated 1954

    MCMLIV at the start should mean 1954
    Do you remember the good old days before the internet?

    when arguments were only entered into by the physically or intellectually able.

    No, I doubt Perth temperature has changed that much, It was more likely due to the cultural cringe when folk followed English fashions rather than wear something more suitable to our climate.
    Have a squizz at any historical photos, not a singlet or pair of stubby shorts to be seen.
