Is more, is evidentntje narrator was in rhe radio, I remember lisen different comercial spot, news and other of different radios in USA in the 1940's, for example. Point apart, in my country (Chile) es the sime, because is evidente the different acent of the radio Locutors of the 1950 to 1960, in comparation with 2000 to today.
priceless footage, thanks for posting it! I remember the toll booths in the late 70's, I was just a kid. (I notice all the official people are fairly unfit older men who wouldn't have given a single thought to allowing bikes onto this bridge, even in the old days)
thanks for the post i had an old Morris Cowley 1924 and when they asked for some of the oldest cars in Auckland that were mobile i was one of the 3 or 4 oldest there and it was just my every day bomb, so in the video i think i was about 4 cars behind the vintage car there shown before they switched to the horse and cart. thanks for the nostalgia
Anyone heard of the 'Harbor Bridge Ghost?' They say a man drowned there and a few people saw a dark shadowy shape move around somewhere there as they drove by. I'd like to go back there.
It wasn't the AVERAGE Australian and New Zealander who did this, but a lot of presenters thought speaking "as upper-class London English as possible" (in Australia sometimes speaking "as upper-class Boston American as possible") was somehow more urbane.
Yes The Accentuation,Is an Event of a Time of Regrowth Radio's was all they had at one point,gathering around the Radio's,listening to New Zealanders,The Bridge Commissioner, Paratene-Waite Lineage,is still Contributing Former small time 1st generation Son's,and daughters of the Former Commissioners Family-Whanau,as we evolved we watched History unfold,The Telephones,on posts on motorway,White wooden crosses,Toll Booths was a Time incredibly Home Brew New Zealanders.
someone in adelaide puts an R into the way they talk so chance is charnce, dance is darnce, france is frarhnce etc, we dont talk like that here. I cant tell the difference in britian (maybe scotland but thats it) cause I am not from there so it all sort of sounds the same to be, I am sure it is the same for you the other way around
@dauntless111 I am sorry but if you put 2 people standing next to each other, 1 is from adelaide, 1 from sydney, I could tell straight away where which one is from
love that retro look :)) back in the fuckin hay day I'll say!! looked better back then than it does now for some reason must be cos there wasnt much people like there is today in new zealand they have taken away everything magical
Umm how would you know? even in Sydney, you can go to different places with different accents in 1 city, Compare someone from Penrith to Mossman to Punchbowl.
@dauntless111 Well if you said an Australian accent It could mean a North Queensland accent/ Adelaide accent Its still an Australian accent, doesnt matter if they sound different
Was supposed to be 3 lanes each way but knocked back to 2 lanes each way by Sid Hollands particularly backward looking national party government of the day. Well, even 3 lanes each way wouldn't have been enough probably only a couple of years after 2 lanes each way weren't enough!
and you are 100% wrong when you say there is no such thing as a britsih accent because there is It would be like saying there is no such thing as a cake, There maybe chocolate cake, cheese cake, marble cake, At the end of the day its still a cake, get the point???
The NZ accent has changed pretty radically over the last fifty odd years.

Not really. This is just how the newscaster talks. Common people back then didn't speak that differently.

I remember when this bridge opened
this youtube video is now 1/3 the age the harbour bridge was when it was posted
So cool!
Toll booths would've been another bill
Who’s here in 2020? Wgp btw

I wonder why so many people wear hats in the past
The accent sounds like a Southern English accent to me.
Umm how would you know?
even in Sydney, you can go to different places with different accents in 1 city,

it sounds silly dont u think
no one in real life talks like that haha

WHy did Australians/New Zealander talk with a weird sort of a british accent back then?
Only news readers and film commentators spoke with a pommy Accent.... And one of my Grandfathers, who grew in bit of a posh household. 😁😁
RP was promoted. Even myself I was trained to speak thar way.

@dabin88 and @Mollarooza Get over it they are just ACCENTS. No need to cry over it.
and you are 100% wrong when you say there is no such thing as a britsih accent because there is
