    Alan Whicker was one of the best journalists the BBC had
    Looking at this short clip filmed in Stockholm were things better?
    I know things move on and the world is a different place now with Technology but back then life was much simpler and people had more disposable income

      It's amusing how the repressed Brits of 1963 had first to be horrified by Sweden's sexual and marital freedom before learning about the Brave New World they were building.

      @@user-mv6he6gl8m Sweden is much more equal than Britain or America. There's more to being a "rich country" than having a small number of the super-rich. Quality of life and expectation of life are higher there too.

    did that nuclear suburb ever happen?

      A referendum in 1980 (after the Three Mile Island accident in the US) decided to stop building new nuclear reactors and to phase out existing reactors over the next 30 years. They had decided in 1968 to end their nuclear weapons programme in the interest of non-proliferation.
