[@helvetia1978]

my father installed with Bühler Switzerland Team in 1977 one of the last flour mills in Tewkesbury Allied Mills. He meet there my Mum what has lived and grwon up in Tewkesbury. I still remember the smell of the flour mill i could visit once as a small boy.
I almost followed same path as my Dad that served 47 years for Bühler. I am know a Headmiller and also already 18 years with Bühler company.
thank you very much for uploading this gem.

Healing brothers.

[@InbhirNiss]

Absolutely wonderful!! Thoroughly enjoyed this look into milling in a bygone era, along with it's accompanying narration.

[@shankarbalan3813]

A gentler time. Lovely video. We used to see much the same sort of baking and so on in India in the 1970’s, 1980’s etc.

disagree, just as bad of a time as now

@@jojojojo4332 those were much better days, wtf are you talking about? half of london is muslim today

[@jojojojo4332]

@@rabadooda show me statistics. Also flat out showing your own max mosley

[@rabadooda]

@@jojojojo4332 Do you want me to show you the crime statistics, demographic statistics, or both? Is that really necessary when you could just watch a video of London in the 1950s and compare it to nowadays. And why would I have anything against Max Mosley? His father was one of the few British politicians who tried to to prevent an unnecessary war with Germany. The food in those days wasn't as good as it is today, that's about the only positive I can think of.

[@jojojojo4332]

@@rabadooda dude I'm not going to argue with someone trying to defend Mosley. You already shown your colours and everything I will say to you you will not be able to refute. You already lost the conversation before it started. And you already stated your conclusions before hand. I suggest moving to Russia if you like it so much.

These videos are amazing - thoroughly enjoyable.
