The Queens Dolls House, they rarely show the underground garage with the miniature 1920's limousine parked inside. But lots of photos can be found on line these days.
Making things smaller and compact is one of the great ways to go. One can take pretty great photos, home videos, record radio programs, listen to music, watch feature length movies, do one's banking, and a whole host of things on a smartphone. Truly a better way to live. On a Kindle, I have a library of thousands of books and research material, and I read and acquire books also on my smartphone as well.
Interesting how miniaturisation seemed so important then. I suppose as the microchip evolved things just became as small as they could practically be then it became more about power and memory. Even that's not such an issue now...
Spoken like someone who had a bedside radio smaller than a bread box... I remember my first transistor radio. It's hard to explain how amazing it was to have a radio almost as small as the tubes that powered my bedside one. These days, people expect things to be as small as they can be but back in the '60s, the great leap taking place was fully appreciated. Pity computers didn't turn into time-saving devices & usher in paperless offices but you can't have everything I guess... ')
Absolutely correct my house built in 1963 and we cannot fit a Ford focus in the garage But the old man Next Door fits his Morris Minor in their perfectly
But diversity is our strength, didn’t you know? Why that lady parking her Mini on Regent Street today would be accosted by four or five Black youth on mopeds ready to grab her handbag … How enriching is that
This has quite the round up of misguided human concepts in it. Hilariously funny to watch the optimism of people who are now quite dead as our world is getting more chaotic and dying around us. I'll raise my glass.
parking your mini on Regent Street and doing some shopping there these days would be a bloody miracle in itself..
And. Radford mini no less … The price of three standard minis back then
What a great film, All those items in the single suitcase for the weekend trip and she forgets the buy protectives
Great film, Really admire the craftsmen who built such tiny things, must take incredible patience!
Imagine all the space that revolving wall section take up at 2:38, you could fit a small walkin closet there.

One has to live in a multistorey...TO HATE IT!!!
While everything in Europe was shrinking, everything in America was expanding... automobiles, homes, and even waistlines!
Bicycle suspension forks@ 5:15. Back in 1964. Nothing new under the sun.
Funny that "Fings" used in the title a bit "awrite jon do me a favour"
I became a one year old in late 1964, and have been becoming smaller ever since. In fact, I am now almost invisible in Great Britain.
tiny kitchen kitty 😁
9 transistors on a pin head 😀😀😀😀😀
Aga Hold my Beer...
Where do we go from here?

Yes, but none of those 21st-century inventions are the least bit groovy!

@@MrMenefrego1 Forget about it

Radio Pill ?. Fuxache !.
Sure like to know who the beautiful blonde is around 4 min
I love the way all the women had perfectly manicured nails in this film. No horrid false ones either.
Fings?
It's an allusion to the popular early 1960s musical and hit song 'Fings ain't wot they used t'be.'
@@postscript67 A most Groovin ballad.
Why you can even change the wall round.. well that's wasted space right there lol
But were the cars getting bigger? You could not get today's types of cars in garages of houses built 70 or even 60 years ago!!
