How much more exciting the 1950s were to those of us in short pants at the time.
So many different aeroplanes to be seen, both civil and military, dozens of RAF bases scattered around the UK - and steam trains belting along the main lines in defiant mechanical fury. There were still the quiet little branch line services as well....the sun always shone in summer and it always snowed in winter.
There was no health and safety nonsense, you accepted risk and acted sensibly.
And your father would still be able to find a long enough empty road where he could try to max the family Zephyr up to 100 mph.
I despair at the ruination nuLabor has brought to the UK....
