- Broxbourne Woods, Hertfordshire.
L/S of an unusual vehicle travelling through a country lane. M/S reveals it to be a scooter with a sun hood on top (or as the narrator jokes "a scooter with a fringe on top"). This is also a way of keeping the rain off. The two girls travelling on the scooter are Venia Bottono (a shorthand typist) and riding pillion - actress Julie Alexander. They drive the scooter into a field and take some poles off the back of the bike. These are attached to the frame of the scooter to create the framework for a tent. Narrator observes: "It's so simple even a woman can put it together!"
The girls place canvas over the poles to create a groovy little tent. The girls put some bed bases into the tent then a lilo. End shot shows the girls lying inside the tent on their beds.
The scooter tent was designed by Victor Rosen. Nice little quirky film.

As a woman I’ve struggled with so many tasks in a mans world. I’m so happy that now I can put up a tent. Just gotta learn how to drive now.
LOL, good one.
However, both my grandmothers (now gone) never learned how to drive. I am glad times have changed.
-mans- men
@@jeffj2495 my grandmother learned how to drive. ..during the 60. ..
But first make me a sandwich
hang on Lady, you've got to learn to take the tent down when you're finished otherwise Hounslow Council will fine you for literring OR you'll have modern day squatters on your doorstep ! Happy very cold Friday from Middle Earth
To all the people who believe they are forever young today, this is how fast time can fly!
We all aging faster due to climate change. We age about 4% faster than those in the 50s and 60s
@@lazerdog345 Haven't you heard that 90% of statistics are made up?
@@neuralyser that’s only 64% true
I think it's 50/50 that you are fibbing!
We are forever young. Sure the material body ages but we're not an aging body,
We're an eternal, individual spirit-soul encased in matter.
My body is 66 years old, but I feel like 18.
"So simple even a woman can put it together."
Priceless!!😂😂😂😂
60 years on that comment would get me into a lot of trouble.
@@jonathanwhite460 And for reasons nobody could have anticipated, back then. 😱
Who wrote this script? Harry Enfield?
Some of them are quite clever.
And dumb people today think the narrator talked about IQ of women when he actually referred to an ongoing discussions that many women themselves stated the things for hiking and camping were to heavy and there was a need to find things easier to handle due to Women’s request of the time and women that designed a lot of such things… go learn history instead of judging others just because you are a bigot that hate men in a world where you can hardly even handle to make your own god damn coffee in the morning! So tired of woke feminists who got nothing to give this world than more hate… disgusting!
So simple even a woman can put it together I've never laughed so hard in my whole life
Imagine if someone actually said that on TV nowadays.. Christ they'd probably get arrested😂
@@tseugbocaj back then you'd get arrested for saying "Christ".
The red head is lovely.
Yeah, and she about 80 today if she is still here, sobering isn't it?
@@maverickthebastard she die at 64 in 2003
@@Pillowpetlover How kind of you to reply, no age at all, time really does just pass us by, thank you.

@@maverickthebastard 89 1/2...and still steaming....Watch the smoke!
I bet the redhead is responsible for quite a few tents every day.
I see what you did there
I wonder if the curtains match the carpet?
@@b-genspinster7895 damnit, you ruined it..
@@Gameboy-Unboxings I love redheads. I get a tent pole just thinking about Rose in titanic.
Hahaha
Back when you could just set up anywhere without trespassing
If you look like that there is no such thing as trespassing.
Pre-leftist
Those days are long gone for most people. But, thank God, there are still quite a few diehards about.
Better than having homeless camps everywhere.
@@patchesohoulihan2009 definitely, big difference between a thankful traveler and entitled squatters
My word! A woman driving a mechanical, motorized scooter? This is the future gone berserk!
😂
I know, it's a scary world. Next thing you know my wife will be earning more than me....oh, wait
This is how it starts
The right to vote?
Such herresy!
I love this era...
You incel?

@@Dad-lu1oi only incels love the past.
@@gangisspawn1 why
@@Dad-lu1oi ask your dad.
All of a sudden two loungers appear.
This is what I queried also!🤔
And a blown up raft
Wait guys,...soon a barbecue ,butchering set and a cute willing pig will appear from the right side of the tent lol
I would have loved this when I was 19, with my best friend Margaret, going to some local Northern California camping places.....
Yes and good to know that you could have put it together even though you're just women
Why am I being recommended this 51 years later?
Because it will not be possible to use the bottom wood and the Wendy house at the same time,beware of polecats.
@@h7283 What?
@Joseph 🐙😄👐🤣🐵
Better than 71 years, I guess. 😜
62 years perhaps? Just saying. 😎
They forgot to drink a couple of cans of beer, so they could flatten them and put them under the stand's feet.
They may be sharing a tent, but they are hardly lesbians for God's sake!
@@hermanmunster3358 is the comment because only lesbians mash beer cans, or what?
@@bethhollins3556 Well ive never seen a demure voluptuous lady mash a can, so draw from that what you will.
@@hermanmunster3358 My lady smashes beer cans and she's quite voluptuous 😁
@@civlyzed Lucky you. It must help enormously with your recycling.
Even a woman can put it together... false advertising.
They can become quite competent if you raise them right. Just don't spoil them into uselessness.
Better welders than men!
Women-know your limits
The still can get muddled at times though. So always have a man handy standing by to do it right.
🤣🤫
I wish this idea would make a comeback. I am a scooter enthusiast and have 2 in my garage. Would love to take them 🏕 camping. Tent needs a floor though.
That redhead is stunning.
Was* lol
Yeah, that will stop the rain. Brilliant innovation!
These two lovely girls would now be in their mid-80s now.
One passed away apparently in 2003 at age 64.
lovely young woman in the 60's and 70's lot better than of the young woman of today.
@@southwest3671 Julia Alexander
I love it. A short film about two camping with two dishy dollies!
I'll take the red head.
Kinda waiting for the camera to swing to Sid James and Bernard Bresslaw in the hedges laughing and rubbing their hands "Cworr!" lol.
I grew up watching the 'Carry on' flicks and still do from time to time ...and yes I could well imagine them watching from the bushes.thanks for the chuckle!! ( suddenly I feel the urge to go revisit 'Carry on Camping' can't imagine why lol)
It looks lole these ladies had a lovely evening of exploring the bush all planned out.
Julie Ann...Damn! If I had a time machine.
And the long cots just magically appear.
It’s so easy to do , even a woman can do it ! Imagine that , a woman !
They do still get muddled at times so my fragile masculinity is still intact 💪🏼
The best part is the scooter is more difficult to ride than putting up the tent.
Yes that's funny a woman couldn't...dumb cows!!
Mine went up in a jiffy!
Julie Alexander, the looker in the shorts, died in 2003.
From Alzheimer’s at the young age of 64. Sobering.
@@PeterPaul175 Indeed, life is short.
@@PeterPaul175 you don't die from that. Other things take you.
The redhead, Julie Alexander, was absolutely gorgeous. 😍
I can't really find much about her. Short wikipedia page and only like one picture. She looks beautiful though.
@@sstills951 Didn’t she just? There’s a little about her on the IMDb app.
@James Peters That’s a pretty irrational statement there James.
@James Peters I should just stifle any human feelings I have.
@James Peters I remember them both very well. That was a great night.
"So simple even a woman can put it together"
Lol
That's why I came here!! 😂😂😂😂
False advertising had no repercussions back then
Kein problème at 1:10! When you know where the slots are, then all slots in! Achtung bitte schön!
women know your limits!!
Thankyou Mr. Cholmondely-Warner.
@@p.istaker8862 ......Of course Mr Grayson
@@MorgoUK 😆..jus don't mention de gold standard..
And for pity's sake ....don't drive!
"even a woman can put it together"
Legend!
So this is where BMW got their inspiration for the C1 motorcycle.
They where probably helped by the bloke following in the van with the beds and other gear not on the scooter
“ I need to run into town for supplies tear down the tent I need the scooter” geeze!! Why did the scooter have to be part of it? Only needed two more poles to leave the scooter free.
If you took the "roll cage" off the scooter it would fold up like a cheap suitcase...LMFAO, this is so fkn dangerous, love it.
That’s something that I wouldn’t mind having. Very practical!
I miss you grandma ❤️❤️
" It's so simple, even a women can put it together", so true. Ah, the good old days.
Thats so easy, even a man can understand it
whats so true about it?
that statement wouldn't fly well today lol
@@baranguneysel9892 hahaha.. nice one. This man approves of your one liner.
A comment like that would put a company out of business nowadays
What are the hell these women doing - this is clearly man's work!!
They are clearly out on a laundry day!
where did they hid the folding beds?
I wonder where they have stowed their clothes, wash kit, food, cooking equipment etc.?
I’m sure the scooter had a luggage rack
I love this! It’s so cool!
The position of the scooter is optional although it's not recommended to have it in the middle due to fumes.
Nothing to do with it taking up most of the room in there!!
Legends still to this day 🤘
You know they pushed those two cots together.....
😆😆
goonerash 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
you know this is even funnier if you imagine Cartmans voice saying it
Narrator:
A thief would have to take the tent as well...
Kidnapper: *WelI, I only need the Redhead and the Brunette.*
😁
absolutely spiffing stuff,
my grandmother is happy to see this
i remember those stretcher beds as we called them... they kept you off the ground but were quite uncomfortable to sleep on
I had one as a guest bed and I always found it comfortable enough.
Gorgeous redhead. Wow!!!
This contraption can still be useful.😂
Looks like the opening scene to a Carry On film.
I like that "its so easy even a woman can do it ".
Brilliant
Even a woman can put in together....😂
The canopy works if there's no wind and the rain comes straight down, and imagine traveling everywhere with a tent!. The only thing good in the video is the girls, who are probably 80 now..
They are dead!
👍👍👍.. zaman dulu pola pikirnya dah maju....👍👍👍
So simple, even a woman ca do it. We sure copped it back then. Its a great idea though. Interesting bit of history.
Love 2 see it rain
Would like to see that in a windy weather :)
Happy days.
Super
those pinstripe shorts are how babies are made
Where did they get the beds??.
This was the spark for the invention of the "Scootabackpack" .
Put the scooter on top of the tent and carry the tent around on your back. Genius 😉😁
These are the films my grandfather watched when calling my dad an idiot for changing the oil in his engine since "you only need to add oil to a car"
Кровать для палатки это классная вещь, лучше всего защищает от холодного пола!
I have one of those 1958 Lambretta Li's in my front room as furniture... too valuable to take outdoors for someone to tealeaf... now if I could find a couple handy birds to put a tent in something for me I would be even happier ;)
Lindas 😍
Its like a tent! But attached to your scooter for no reason at all.
I Love Lambretta
Vespa is better
So simple a woman can put it together.... wow
Aunt Edna this is your tent!
Parabéns
Even a woman can put it together eh, well men we can enjoy a few beers and watch them do it....
More likely the man does it while his woman watches and says he’s doing it all wrong
Imagine saying "Even a woman can put it together" in todays times. You would most likely end up in court with all sorts of charges including racism just for good measure
Only in few liberal-fascist countries.
@@juliap.5375 The UK being one.
@@juliap.5375 And the U.S. quickly becoming one. 😥
@@joeshmoe9978 why so concerned? It’s not like you discriminate or treat women badly . If you treat them with respect you shouldn’t be afraid or worried :)
@@vp9885 Its not just about this issue, but how EXTREMELY politically correct everything is getting. They can't even have a comedian make jokes anymore, because somebody, somewhere, will be offended...then the cancel culture people swarm, and so on. ✌
I think a hacksaw would make short work of getting the scooter and tent separated.
Great
This is perfect for National Women's Day!
"It is so simple that even a woman could put it together". 4 decades later... it's so complicated no millennial man is able to figure this out...
I love these films. I often wonder who the people are. Julie Alexander was in a St. Trinian's film. Don't know anything about the other woman.
His voice is like a combination of 50 years of smoking and a robot. Really weird.
Back then even robots where smokers.
As The Pirates of The Caribbean would say,
" We want the redhead! We want the redhead!"
I want them to revamp this for my 2019 supercub
Hey, I got a super cub too...
So simple even a woman can put it together!😂
I hope she really enjoyed everything she had there.
They survived the horrors of WW2.................. They deserve to have a good time.
One strong gust of wind and that scooter roof is hitting the deck, scooter and all
“The tent weighs less than 20 pounds”, ultralight camping at its best 🤣
Not bad for 1959 !
You could get hundreds of wing mirrors on that..
Yes, but is it bearproof ?
‘Even a woman can put it together’ Times have a bit
M having crush on smone who is age of my grandma😂😂
That scooter have clutch and must pass gears, great did for two beautifull english womans( very rare also) lol !
My Word!!!
That's very modern idea 💡
Where do I get mine?
"it's so simple even a woman can put it together" OUCH LOL I was ALL of 5 years old in Hounslow London ! They don't create music like this anymore 🤠
Oooh, my first scooter a Lambretta ld 125....
