There is no hardship,mend and make do,or backbone in these recent generations. Everything is so easy now. These are the times and people that made Britain great
even my dad in the 1960's and 70's would go on holiday in a suit and tie!! His one concession to July heat, undoing his top button, removing his jacket and rolling up his shirt sleeves! I NEVER saw my dad in shorts!
@@tango22ahI haven't worn jeans in 30+ years... always olive or camo BDU trousers (Black for "special occasions"). Never wear shorts in public either; I don't think it looks dignified...but that's just me.
Genuinely feel sad I never experienced the 60s, seems like it was a brilliant time. A lot more personal and relaxed than today, things worked and were affordable unlike today. Shame I was born in 1986.
The narrator is Wilfrid Thomas. Well known in Australia as a singer, actor, radio broadcaster and narrator. Of Welsh descent he immigrated to Australia as a child. He narrated several Australian government films and can be seen in this film from the NFSA collection one acting along side Peter Finch in These Stars Are Mine His "posh" accent would have certainly been a consideration when he got the gig of narrating the official film of the Queen's 1954 visit to Australia. Queen In Australia also at the NFSA. And just from the other day on the NFSA channel "Canberra Today And Tomorrow" which had me searching for who it was. Searching for Wilfrid Thomas will show some of his recordings. It would be interesting to know how many other Pathe newsreels he narrated and did he travel to the UK for the narration or just send a tape recorded in Australia? In another Pathe Caravan film he was the chosen narrator.
When i watch these old films of my youth and see England today it makes me want to cry .
Yes, all those Humbers, Cambridge estates and Zodiacs. All gone now. And the cardigans. I really miss the cardigans
It wasn't like this. it rained and we were poor. most people couln't afford any of this.

@@stewartellinson8846what was it like in that time. All these films make history look so civilised.
Red sky, you are not alone

My mum and dad never wore swim wear, great memories.
Absolutely correct!
Yup my dad has never worn a pair of denim jeans in his life …now 90 years old

Loving this video-it takes me back to the England that was .I am glad I have my memories of when England was a great country
This reminds me of my grandparents so much! They were so awesome! ❤
Old timers knew how to enjoy life and had fun.
We used to spend two weeks, in Wales, in a static caravan with no bathroom, no hot water, no toilet and no heating!! Happy days 😂😂😂
@@sallywright8065 This generation have no concept of any sort of hardship.!Everything is gift wrapped now😢
Fabulous footage. Super to see so many classic caravans - Sprite, Eccles, Fairholme, Cheltenham to name just a few! 🚗🚌😃👍
The nostalgia was very nice. Well don.
Great video, Aqua rolls as well, and not to forget the bbq 🍗👍. Love the little flags and the car with the periscope on the roof.
Lovely video. Good to see it in colour as well
Fabulous to see my Amphicar - the red one, towing the amphibious caravan back in the day!
Memories of our Sprite caravan holidays in the late 60s and early 70s were so happy.

Morris dancing as a way to relax. Innocent simpler and more pleasant times.
still happens - join your local morris team!
Sports jacket , collar and tie on holiday...lol
Back in the day when being well dressed was a form of good manners.

Keeping up standards, old boy. Sadly gone.

What a time to be alive
Che spettacolo,grazie per questi video.
Wonder where all these people are now ?❤
In hell
Nothing says fun like hitting the water in a suite and tie.
Those Amphicars... I was born too late.
Just loved this! 😆☀️
What better way, indeed!!
I always wanted an Amphicar !
"Now you children go play. Father and I have a special party to attend in the chateau."
Not a tracksuit or a pair of trainers in sight
The days before Top Gear 🤣🤣🤣
Super
Q bellos videos
And men wore jackets, shirts and ties.
I havent lived
@ :43. So that's what happened to Adolph. Hmmmm.
When women wore dresses and skirts even when camping.
All made in Great Britain
Why would anyone 'need' an amphibious car? :0)
Volume warning
No way you could haul an RV with a car nowadays
A lot of well - off people enjoying being well off. Meanwhile, most of us couldn't afford even half of that.
Go get it then, like the 'well off' do. Only one stopping you is YOU.
How white society were and enjoying their family and time together.
What a dreadful period the 60s, glad it’s over
Grim and horrid.
What a load of crap now we know in th 20s
Want some sentences with those words?
