One other thing that I wondered about - two young women shown drinking glasses of wine outside a pub in the City -There were of course some Commonwealth students in the University towns and cities ,but "serious" immigration only really started in 1948 with the influx from the Caribbean, the "Windrush" generation, followed by the Pakistanis and the the Asians expelled from Uganda by Idi Amin. Prior to this ,unless he lived in a Seaport, or had served in the Military, the average Briton would have probably never have met a non white person.
The only other instances were when there were Coloured GIs stationed here during the war, and they were usually segregated in remote and carefully selected areas.
As for the middle class aspect, that was part of the agenda of the establishment of the day, and unreconstructed bomb sites were still commonplace in 1950.
now my understanding is that (a)in most of England, unaccompanied ladies weren't even admitted, never mind served,
and (b) a glass of wine then cost a great deal more than it would now, in real terms -
it wasn't the sort of drink office girls could afford on their wages.
