Sometimes Og feels very old! In today’s new programming, English Children: Life in the City, which can be found both on the New and the Kids channels on Roots Television, we’re exposed to the daily lives of British schoolchildren just after World War II. Watching this show, produced by Encyclopedia Britannica Films, Og understood and remembered way too many things that children today (especially in the U.S.) would not find familiar: wickets, shillings and pence, a wireless, train compartments, tea as a meal, and going on holiday. That being said, however, it’s a fun look at how much things remain the same with children. They always enjoy playing with their friends at school, watching or playing sports, eating with their family, and enjoying time with their pets. As long as Og has lived – and that’s a long, long time – I still find that some good things just never change. Enjoy the show!

I just saw the movie about the English kids on your website. Oh my! did that take me back to good old days in Yorkshire. When they walked up all those steps in Whitby I remembered how many times I had done that on those very same steps. It didn't say on the film, but there are 199 steps that lead to an old ruined 9th century monastery at the top. Thank you so much for that little "blast from the past" for me!
