    Appreciate there have always been differences between UK and US policing styles but here is a 17 minute glimpse into a bygone era (1959) in the UK

     I'll take the 1959 era over today.  So much has changed.

    When it's gone, it's gone.

    Yeah, too bad.  I'm good with progress, but I question where we are at today in terms of the human social part. 

    We watch older series probably for that reason; a gentler time.  We were watching the original Hawaii 5-0 the other day and we always catch little gems of information about that decade, like an ounce of gold was $35 an ounce when that episode was made.
