The size of Freddo's, Saturday morning TV, free to air sports, Jamie Oliver-less school lunches. You get the picture.

What was better twenty years ago than it currently is today.

And you can't say everything, because it wasn't. The country is in ruin but at least now we can.........order a takeaway without having to speak to another human...??

Public Information Films. Essentially the British term for PSAs.

My YouTube / PeerTube channel is an archive for them: https://spectra.video/c/randomwolf

I like them because, until I was old enough to watch the real thing, these were as close as I could get to horror films. They can get pretty scary, especially considering they're warning about real things (as opposed to monsters or fictional murderers).
