Ayr

Public Information films. I loved this rhyme. Still do.

BE SAFE AT WORK

Sir Isaac Newton told us why 

An apple falls down from the sky

And from this fact, it's very plain, 

All other objects do the same

A brick, a bolt, a bar, a cup, 

Invariably fall down, not up

And every common working tool 

Is governed by the self-same rule

So when you handle tools up there, 

Let your watchword be, "Take Care!"

If at work, you drop a spanner, 

It travels in a downward manner

At work, a fifth of accidents or more, 

Illustrate old Newton's law

But one thing he forgot to add, 

The damage won't be half as bad

If you are wearing proper clothes, 

Especially on your head and toes

These hats and shoes are there to save 

The wearer from an early grave

So best feet forward and take care 

About the kind of shoes you wear

It's better to be sure, than dead, 

So get a hat and keep your head

Don't think to go without is brave; 

The effects of gravity can be grave.

Given this is the 50th Anniversary of the moon landing, this is relevant.

We have forgotten the first man in space. It is often thought to be Yuri Gagarin but it wasn't. He was the first person to orbit the Earth.

The first person in space was Joseph Kittinger. Look up his freefall on YouTube. It's nuts.

the Karman line is 62 miles above sea level(100km) which is conventionally the start of space in space treaties and in aeronautics records keepings.Kittinger says he jumped from 18 and half miles(30km)

"Reverse charges

Mojos

Streets of San Francisco"

You can still make a reverse charge call.

Don't know if they ate still done but there used to be free calls for companies where you dialled 100 for the operator and asked for, eg Freephone RAC. 0800 call services superseded them and probably totally replaced them.

"Corona lemonade from the chippy

I was going to say Corona. Their factory was between some woods and my school. Kids would sneak in to collect the barrel tops.

The public information broadcasts on tv during the Cold War - when we were advised that in the event of a nuclear attack we should make a den with the sofa and some cushions and hide behind it!

Anyone else remember them?

"Sergio tacchini, farahs, and pringle clothes, took for granted when the parents were shelling out "

Farahs were the brand around when it suddenly became illegal to wear flares. Mother's would panic buy them off the racks.
