Like boobs and BIOS (?)In the days when we were allowed to travel outside our borders (2019) we visited Bradford to see friends, and we skirted round Leeds on the way to York. Seems big and reasonably prosperous these days?
Now our international travel is online only
Girls and computers, go together like . . . . .

Evil even has a car
Well at least 6ft away!At least you won't have to worry about other cars parking next to you.
Strange to think it was also a city with a large car factory, thriving shopping area, prestigious hospital. I'll wager that over half the population have never stepped through the massive gates, past the scouts, into a college. The phrase 'Town & Gown' illustrates the great divide.Oxford in 1941 - no sign of a War? Perhaps filmed before 1939 and released in 1941
"Women too, have a place at Oxford" "careers that not many years ago were closed to them." (Better, simpler times, those were)
Yes, that was certainly not filmed in 1941, I spotted several things that were certainly not happening at that time - one example, the rare books had been removed from Duke Humfrey's Library and put in store in an underground chamber beneath the New Bodleian (which had actually only just opened when war began in 1939). Although that 'high security' shelter was special, the underground stacks of the Bodleian were already vast, they even have an underground railway running through them! As well as valuable books and documents from the Colleges, and from other institutions (London University, V&A Museum, Houses of Parliament, etc.) stained glass and other treasures were all stowed away in those catacombs. Part was made into a huge air-raid shelter for local people. After the war, a survey was done before the books were returned, and, although not damaged by enemy action, Duke Humfrey's was found to be in imminent danger of collapsing into the Divinity School underneath, the floor was actually resting on the 15th century vaulted ceiling of the room below! I think it took nearly 20 years securing the historic structure.Oxford in 1941 - no sign of a War? Perhaps filmed before 1939 and released in 1941
