    Tough one. It is possible the cops did it. imo someone had access tot he field. The landrover went into the field and was placed back behind the gate. I think Nicholls set them up to be in the area at the time under instructions.

    I discovered Bobby Darin the other night while randomly browsing, I’ve heard Beyond The Sea and Dream Lover since my childhood but never knew who their singers were, seems like he was a real Sinatra/Elvis type! What a man, they don’t make them like him any more, my word I wish music was still made like this!

    Bobby Darin was the kinds of songs I was listening to in my youth. Things was a top ten hit back when I was born.

    Memory Lane on spotlight TV is worth checking out for more like this.

    You've got to accentuate the positive.
    Eliminate the negative.
    Latch on to the affirmative.
    Don't mess with mister in between.

    “I tend to use YouTube for listening to old music and watching clips from old races and TV Shows from my youth – the USA comedy Seinfeld being a recent example.”

    Absolutely classic Milwall documentary from I think the 70s, some absolute goldmines in there, including the fans berating a local supporter because he doesn’t “go away” and Harry the Dog claiming “everyone carries a tool”

    A while ago I relived my childhood by watching the old Public Information films of the 70s. No wonder I was sh*t scared of everything back then.

    I believe this was a Nationwide piece. I didn’t want to go near a train for months after this.

    Can’t seem to find the full length film to this but remember watching at school.

    After watching the video Cork posted of an old Grand National it reminded me of a rabbit hole I went down a few months ago, footage from back in the day of various cities that has been restored, fascinating stuff! Here’s London in the 30s and San Francisco in 1906!

    Thanks for those Ben, beautifully restored film

    The elegantly dressed and universally slim public-at-large in the footage of London is striking; and some superb vehicles too

    No Highway Code in 1906 Frisco!

    And it must have been early in the year as a devastating and infamous earthquake hit the city in April, destroying most of it and killing thousands

    Yes. I was amazed at how smartly rested everyone was. It’s quite surreal watching that footage.

    It’s great seeing everyone so well dressed isn’t it! I didn’t know there was an earthquake in San Fran that year, would be fascinating to see some before/after footage but I doubt that exists sadly! Like you said Drone some of that driving was like being somewhere in India, I wonder how vehicle/cart insurance worked back then?!

    I was also amazed at how quiet the streets of London looked compared to today, looks weirdly peaceful but also incredibly vibrant, I wonder if people were less stressed back then or whether the shorter life span and lack of medicine technologies had people scared they could fall dead at any moment.
