It works! But the blue here is much too pale.

dsl SXPart 1 of a loose trilogy with /movie_120028-Robinson-in-Space.html and /movie.php?id=1714893 ; similar unusual style - a sort of travelogue around London this time with a gradually emerging diary of the main events (IRA bombs, general election and John Major's victory, Maastricht treaty, ERM failure, etc) through 1992 read by Paul Scofield in a monotone which becomes almost hypnotic as it constantly produces apparently random facts and comment - social, historic, financial, political, literary etc - against some striking imagery which makes mundanity become fascinating and creates an incisive and depressing portrait of what London was like in 1992. Some very deadpan quotes - "Britain had become a one-party state", "it didn't matter anymore what the Conservatives actually did, they would still get elected", "London is full of interesting people, most of whom want to be somewhere else", "life in London is like a hospital ward where everyone keeps wanting to swap their beds". Excellent film - recommended if you like powerful slowburners with a dollop of quirkiness.

Have upgraded everything on like-for-like basis from DVD (apart from all the captures outside the MacDonalds - despite better quality, they still come out blurred, so I decided life's too short. Also didn't spot the MCW Metrobus to upgrade, but am sure it's in there somewhere). Plus added a couple of new entries, timings, extra pics etc.

I thought it was illegal to film voters going in/out of polling stations?? Is Major's Jag worth a page - it can presumably be cross-referenced for an exact ID??

the Oval

- a graphic demonstration of the true level of English enthusiasm for cricket. The best bit of this sequence is watching a man chase off the pigeons, but as soon as he stops, they just come back again as before.

The Hoover Building on Western Avenue (A40) in West London, which during 1992 was being converted by Tesco with a Tesco supermarket at the rear and restoration of the original building and canteen for conversion into offices. Work on the site started in 1991, included the demolition of Building Nos. 5 and 8, and was completed in November 1992. - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hoover_Building

Lateef NODespite having a 1976 plate, it doesn't really look like a 1976 model. White grille, white headlight trim, and silver wipers are features which would make this in the 1971-74 range. 2014-08-29 15:37
dsl SXCheck the door handles - this looks like the 77 P6 with front hinged door compared to the rear-hinged on the P5. 2014-08-29 15:08
G-MANN UKIt might also be this one: /vehicle_127586-Rolls-Royce-Phantom-V-1960.html

I think both cars could have the rear roof section switched between tiny rear window and all-glass fishbowl.
