L3 civilisation: Britain since 1945

In a few weeks I will be starting up my third year class "Britain since 1945". We will be trying to understand what people's lives were like 70 years ago, before mobile phones, computers, televisions, frozen food, pizzerias, rock music, IKEA and tower blocks. This  documentary series on life at home in Britain during the second world war is a good place to get an initial impression of life back then.

The special relationship is over. At long last! article from the Independent

The special relationship is over. At long last!: It seems the marriage is in grave trouble. I don’t mean between Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones but between the nations that made them. (Sorry, that’s a bit cheesy I know). The ties that bind the two parties begin to chafe, split the skin, cause discomfort and hurt. On a TAP flight on Saturday night from beautiful Portugal – miserable because the crew were, in turn, prejudiced and rubbish, refusing to provide even a drink of water – a Welsh family gave me their copy of The Sun, my first look at the news for a fortnight. Its front page evoked Churchill and Roosevelt, intoned laments and dripped with sorrow. Millions of their readers will grieve, but as many or more will not. They feel as do I, that this arranged marriage is oppressive and unequal. Britain has been the surrendered wife for too long.
