On this day, forty years ago Elvis Presley died at 42 years of age, and sent shockwaves around the World. RIP Elvis you sure made a major impact in the wonderful world of music, and still selling records by the millions.

Lands End.

Trust me, I have seen it first hand, a lot of genuine homeless people have too much pride to beg, some actually refuse charity, welfare and handouts, for that reason. Also quite a few are mentally ill, and will accept a meal at a shelter, but have little use for money. The ones who are in your face begging for money are hustlers and should be ignored.

Ahhh the good old days, I used to dream of getting a sadistic thrashing

Don't forget the nine stone cowboy...

Been awhile since I saw it, but think it was the Raleigh bicycle factory in Nottingham where that scene was shot. In fact I think all the location filming was done in Nottingham. No Nottingham accents though lol

"Nine hundred and thirty, nine hundred and thirty bleeding one" ha ha! Not sure of the exact numbers, but that line when he is tossing bike pedal spindles in a bin is hilarious and epitomised the boredom of working on factory production lines.

Actually there was quite a lot of major films late50's early 60's, that depicted working class life. Saturday Night and Sunday Morning ( which spawned Coronation Street) Room at the Top, Live Now Pay Later, This Sporting Life, The Angry Silence, The Family Way and many more.

A night out with Moneypenny:D

I think it was his first film along with Hayley Mills as his young bride. One of a spate of real life type films started by Saturday Night And Sunday Morning. What a shame he is only my age RIP Hywell.
