I once had an out of body experience while sleeping, it felt like my conscience had left my body and was floating just below the ceiling in another part of the house. I don't know if i dreamt it or if it was real. it was so vivid it felt real.

this is just so brilliant, thanks for uploading!

Thank you so much for this upload 😊please show us some more 😊😊👍👍

Thank you for this upload😊much enjoyed😊😊

Life was harder! But we were HAPPIER . No knife crime! A copper who would give you clip round the ear! And parents and teacher that made you respect others!! All gone now so so sad! 😢😢But I still remember to respect others and I’m proud of that!!😊😊

Nice to come across this 👍

Happy times it’s a shitshow now our poor kids

Loved this film. The old way of life, farming methods and elm trees

Charming. Not just nostalgia for nostalgia 's sake.

Beautiful film of a bygone age. Country life must have been so slow and quiet then, as it had been for centuries past. Lovely!

A rare harvest with no rain.

I'm only down the road ,good old days thanks for video ,still got wheat to harvest ,got my great grandads model f

Was it me or did I not hear one Suffolk accent. Everybody was dubbed with an "Estuary English" accent. I'm Suffolk born and bred, Halesworth 1962. Both my grandfathers worked the land and had broard Suffolk accents, I can hear them now. One worked as a horseman in Saxmundham, the other worked for Nottcutt's in Woodbridge. I miss my childhood and all those wonderful voices. This country today frightens me, as others have said, what has become of my England.

I can hardly believe my luck to have been in the same era as this and done and seen all the machines in action and helping too during my stays in my grandparents house in Ireland in the 60 s what fabulous days they were thanks for the reminder

Thge only reason our industry was allowed to operate without mass interference was that our own government were silently terrified of a civil war due to food starvation , straight after our brave lads & girls had won WW2 , albeit on American money , yes mate , this was the last time our once strong capable country was great , & we could & did make anything & everything . Remember , history always repeats itself . Any country that disregards it's own agriculture has sown the seeds of it's own destruction . It's just a short time until ......no food , & this is fast coming back . Forget the pompous old swines that all preached about the uselessness of the E.U. grain mountains , milk lakes , etc , none of them had got a clue what they were raving on about , my own uncle was one of them , how he enjoyed rubbing our faces straight in it whilst consuming tea & biscuits at an english farmer's table , ours . Incorrigible pompous old sod quoting manipulated misguiding figures that held no resemblance to reality . I was half his age & twice as strong & quick , & I wanted to just throw him straight out on the road outside by the scruff of his neck , it wasn't my house , it was Dad,s & he wouldn,t let me , Dad just said " He'll get his own back one day my boy , leave it or he'll have you jailed in a flash " He did , he badly upset somebody else in an unknown old folks home , & died of an almighty smack round the ear delivered by someone unknown to me who has my fullest sympathy . He would have driven them straight to it . He got what he deserved like Dad said . Hard times are coming , food is expensive now I agree , but it will soon become rare as well , this is very dangerous for any country & food should be a humanitarian right , not a commodity with-held by finance houses until the price is high enough for them . I,ve lived a long time , I,m an ageing man now & I can see the changes happening in this country & I don,t like them , my country has been ruined & society damaged . My young friends here have persuaded me not to emigrate quick to Australia , & they are very good to me , & a really trusted old friend once told me " it's not the country you must stay with now mate , it's your mates ! they happen to be here , stay where your mates are now " he is dead right , this was the late Roger John Campion whose funeral was videod by his ladyfriend & it,s on here somewhere . I don,t know how she did it , strong lady .

When Britain was worth living in

Lots of good things went as time moved on , community not the least . Great film , much of my childhood was like that in the late 50s in our village . Thanks for posting

Hard work makes happy people and visa versa

Alex says that there's no U2 on the Numb remix but he's wrong - you can hear The Edge's vocals pop up near the end.

A tradition destroyed within a generation, thrown aside by its leaders and landowners!

These are so excellent! If there are any more; posting them would be great. Thank you so much for posting those you have 😊

I have both of these and sent them secretly to friends as a treat - don't keep them up for too long : )

"Grab your things, Doctor, we're going home!" "Home?" "I'm already home."

Ethanol mixed in water 😃 brilliant

This has been on my visit list for about 2 years but I am finally going to visit in June when staying near Diss

I think Paul's sister is married to David Gray. There's some family link anyway. Not that it matters.

I haven't heard this start to it before.

yes love it

yessss

One of the reasons I love TH-cam. No idea what this is, but love it. More random releases like this make me feel like I'm peering into someone else's existence.

Very good, I thoroughly enjoyed this video...

The book 'Akenfield' refers: is a must read.

It is difficult to believe that it was only 21 years later, in 1970, that I spent part of the summer in rural East Anglia. It already looked very different then. I think it was then that I began to understand the poetry of John Claire as elegies for a way of life destroyed by the carelessness of "progress". We needed cheaper food, and some folk needed to "maximise profit". But the loss involved was great.

It is easy to look back through rose tinted spectacles, the film portrays it as a little too good. However life in a rural village was often a drudge, living in a tied cottage, it was very difficult for a Farm Worker to leave and work in another industry. It wasn't all bad of course. I speak from first hand experience, I was lucky and did manage to escape, and get a proper profession, and retire with a good pension in our own house. When I left school in 1963 we had 17 farm staff on 1500 acres, when I left there were 4, and I wasn't replaced. It is good that the history for the time, and I would say late 40s has been documented, although some of it is pre WW2.

The countries heaving under the weight of to many people, this government and the next by the look of it won't be happy until the land is concreted over, you'll do what your're told and be happy because complaining is being made illegal 1984 is being used as a manual. Take me home.

Nice to hear this again.

🫡🤤🫠

Thank You.

The wireless the only remaining link with the distant world, absolute Heaven.

It is a great loss to everyone when a good way of life is snuffed out, many of the old ways of life were the best.

Scurvy rickets typhoid tiburculosis, and then there's rationing no running water and not getting paid properly ever. Yeah, great days. Out of touch Tories need to understand they are responsible for the decline.

Yep! Like living through two world wars.😂😂

I've been looking for this for YEARS! The copy on the BBC site fell out of the archives.

The ability to get completely plastered and yet remain entertaining is a rare gift indeed.

These people were so lucky. They lived in the England as it used to be. Unfortunately everything has changed for the worse now. I still love going to Suffolk. But second home owners have destroyed a lot of it. And so many country pubs are closing down. All of this country is now changing for the worse. Happy memories. Great video.

LOL
