:13:01
Like an uncle, he was.
:13:03
I liked his moustache and his pipe.
:13:05
Yeah. Roosevelt was nice, too.
:13:08
There was three of them.
:13:10
Churchill, Roosevelt and Stalin.
:13:14
All good blokes.
:13:16
With old Hitler, Goering and Musso,
and all that lot, on the other side.

:13:26
You somehow knew where you were then.
:13:29
I don't even know who the people are
these days.

:13:31
I expect it's all done by committees, dear.
:13:34
Yes, and meetings.
I expect they have loads and loads of meetings,

:13:38
and thus arrive at decisions.
:13:41
Commuters, too.
:13:42
They all use commuters these days.
:13:44
It's got very impersonal.
:13:47
Churchill with his cigar,
old Stalin with his moustache -

:13:51
you knew where you stood.
:13:53
Do you think they'll invade?
:13:55
Oh, no, no. Won't need to.
:13:58
It'll all be done by missiles.
:14:00
Long er... range.
:14:02
Then they'll instil commuters
to take charge of us.

:14:05
It's funny to think there's no shelters this time.
:14:09
We had an old Anderson in the garden.
:14:11
I can see it now.
:14:13
We had nasturtiums growing all over it.
:14:16
And we painted the front green.
:14:19
Painted, it looked quite pretty.
:14:22
Next door grew cabbages on theirs.
:14:24
Yes. We had a Morrison.
:14:26
Hm, I used to sleep in it.
:14:29
I stuck pin-up giris all over the inside.
:14:31
Betty Grable, Anne Shelton, Patricia Roc.
:14:35
The roof got all smoky,
cos I used to read in bed with a candle.

:14:39
Yes, it was nice in the war, really.
:14:42
The shelters, the blackouts, cups of tea...
:14:47
The ARP, the evacuees.
:14:49
London kids seeing cows for the first time.
:14:53
Old Churchill on the wireless.
:14:55
The nine o'clock news.
