@Fronika You ought to look at 18th century portraits if you want to see pre 20th century fat people.

Yes... a roughness and a v sign... is it me or does this presenter come across as more than a little patronising?
That little scuffle's a gem, looks like boxing might have been as popular in Sheffield then as it is today by the twinkle of that cap snatcher's toes. Can't help but wonder if our King's College historian here might be underestimating the lengths a couple of Northerners might go to to get their fancy footwork on film? What's a slap or two to these lads?

@chanctonbury63 7 people in uk have reached the age 114 and one person has reached 115 so its not impossible

@mrmagicroundcircle Far as I can see the youngest on the film (0.30) are maybe 4 so they would now be 114...
