@leybourne42 Crpples need assistance for their afflictions, Africans like small children [what - to eat?] Very patronising film as was the norm back in those days. Nice road scenes of old cars though. I think one of those students was Trevor Macdonald.

@leybourne42 Should have guessed from your comments on other youtube videos. That you were a racist idiot.

This seems to have been made as a lesson in civic behaviour. Nowadays it seems to be considered far too nannyish to assume that there are some people who have never somehow picked up civilized behaviour simply from experiencing life in a big city - even though one runs into them all the time.

What were those African chappies doing in a field..? Terrorists probbly..

Amazing clip! I can't say I found buses as much fun as that in the 1950's! Probably just as well that nobody wanted to get on in a wheel chair!
