    I've got a photograph of my Great Great Grandmother taken at Blackpool beach and on the back the date is stamped, 15th August 1938. It's amazing to see what she would have seen back then.

      When you look back, that was sheer cruelty.

      This was well before my time, but certainly in the 50s and 60s the elephants 🐘 were taken regularly, early in the morning across the road from the tower onto the beach and into the sea. It was very normal to see them there.
      I felt sorry for the lions and tigers 🐅 even as a child I knew it was wrong, they must have had a life of misery 😢

    It wasn't so happy for the poor elephants though! But the rest was fun.

    A really charming video. The only thing I did not like was seeing those poor elephants in that circus, especially those made to walk only on their hind legs for our entertainment. The welfare of our fellow creatures did not matter so much in those days.

    2020 has gotten to me and the sight of crowds in this makes me uneasy 🤣

    The only thing that's good today is that circuses are dying out 5he cruelty some of these animals endured so people could call this entertainment poor elephants.

      England was (mostly) white but not-so-clean for most of its people, who were worked hard for little reward.

    Ok, ok, I see what's happening here
    You're face to face with greatness, and it's strange
    You don't even know how you feel
    It's adorable!
    Well, it's nice to see that humans never change
    Open your eyes, let's begin
    Yes, it's really me, it's Maui: breathe it in!
    I know it's a lot: the hair, the bod!
    When you're staring at a demi-god
    What can I say except you're welcome
    For the tides, the sun, the sky
    Hey, it's okay, it's okay
    You're welcome
    I'm just an ordinary demi-guy
    Hey!
    What has two thumbs that pulled up the sky
    When you were waddling yay high
    This guy!
    When the nights got cold
    Who stole you fire from down below
    You're lookin' at him, yo
    Oh, also I lassoed the sun
    You're welcome!
    To stretch the days and bring you fun
    Also I harnessed the breeze
    You're welcome!
    To fill your sails and shake your trees
    So what can I say except you're welcome
    For the islands I pulled from the sea
    There's no need to pray, it's okay
    You're welcome!
    Ha, I guess it's just my way of being me
    You're welcome!
    You're welcome!
    Well, come to think of it
    Kid, honestly I can go on and on
    I can explain every natural phenomenon
    The tide, the grass, the ground, oh
    That was Maui just messing around
    I killed an eel
    I buried its guts
    Sprouted a tree, now you got coconuts
    What's the lesson?
    What is the take-away?
    Don't mess with Maui when he's on the break-away
    And the tapestry here on my skin
    Is a map of the victories I win
    Look where I've been
    I make everything happen
    Look at that mini-Maui just tippity-tappin'
    Well, anyway let me say you're welcome
    For the wonderful world you know
    Hey, it's okay, it's okay
    You're welcome!
    Well, come to think of it, I gotta go
    Hey, it's your day to say you're welcome
    'Cause I'm gonna need that boat
    I'm sailing away, away
    You're welcome!
    'Cause Maui can do anything but float
    You're welcome!
    You're welcome!
    And thank you!
