[nylonTS]

I love the wartime weekend

But The guys in uniform are all far to old

[howarth004]

@nylonTS Many a tune played on an old fiddle

[howarth004]

@MrGreendew1 Great event every year ...Cheers

Pickering used to be good, but now its becoming a victim of its own success and to much commercialism is creeping in, for example the 2 dancing at the beginning, they never had that dance in the 40's the closest to that dance was the slosh, and at 2.16 and after, they are playing 1950's jivers, i have re-enacted since the 1980's and not just jumped on the band wagon, i am also a 50's DJ, i know many authentic reenactors who do not now attend this event, shame its going down hill

[howarth004]

@tonupjohnny Fair Comment, but I enjoyed it and so did many others, by the way that was up at Grosmont

[nylonTS]

@tonupjohnny I do agree with you

Like all things money spoils it

Just look at Football

[howarth004]

@foxcell Most enjoyable I agree, No Blasts though I hope that is what they got in WW 2

[ATSF1927]

I remember the UK was in bomb shelters a lot due the German Bombers, wow am I showing my age, lol. I still remember all the news reels at the movie theaters. These uniforms bring a lot of memories. Wonderful film David.

[howarth004]

@ATSF1927 Thanks Don, I can just remember a few things, my father in uniform, alway`s seemed to be waiting at railway stations, and even an air raid where we lived in early 1945 , yet these day`s problems remembering what I did yesterday !!

Dave

[ADMIRALSCORNER]

@howarth004 Its amazing the permutations there can be for problems to occcur with uploading to or accessing youtube! Something new happens almost every week down here lately!.

[howarth004]

@ADMIRALSCORNER oNE THING THOUGH MIKE , THE DOWNLOADING SPEED SEEMS TO HAVE GOT A LOT QUICKER UP HERE , HAS IT IMPROVED DOWN YOUR AREA YET?

[ADMIRALSCORNER]

@howarth004 I have checked the local speeds 3.2 kbps download and 0.525kbps upload. So no change here. I guess upload is what we use to get videos to youtube. That has not changed ever here.

[howarth004]

@ADMIRALSCORNER Mine has jumped up to 6.78 for download and 0,7 for ypload Mike , so a big improvement , download was well below 4 not that long ago

[Daikenboy]

Yes wonderful video. Now where were all the children? Sent to country towns?

I do love seeing all those people dressed in uncomfortable clothing. Been there done that.

[howarth004]

@Daikenboy Thanks for the comment, hard times , we are lucky to have missed all that

[Daikenboy]

@howarth004 So true, so true. Please keep posting your wonderful videos I really enjoy watching them. I noticed that the Stigg was taking it easy as the car did not leave the road at the hump back bridge. (me smiles)

[howarth004]

@Daikenboy She must be getting Mellow in her later years, and driving steadier (I wish)

[hawley00]

Interesting Dave and the Stigg carnt for get Debs

[howarth004]
