- 15:01into
- 15:01more.
- 15:01It
- 15:01was
- 15:01obvious,
- 15:01obviously
- 15:02the
- 15:02Hawker
- 15:02Sidley

- 15:23here.
- 15:24It
- 15:24wasn't
- 15:24encouraged
- 15:25because
- 15:25we
- 15:25were
- 15:26still
- 15:26at
- 15:26war

- 15:33But
- 15:33the

- 15:34knowing
- 15:35with
- 15:36bit
- 15:36more
- 15:36certainty
- 15:38that
- 15:39we
- 15:39weren't
- 15:39going
- 15:39to
- 15:39be
- 15:39bombed

- 15:41wasn't
- 15:41going
- 15:41to
- 15:42go.
- 15:42I
- 15:42mean,
- 15:42my
- 15:42stomach
- 15:43still
- 15:43turns
- 15:43over
- 15:43when
- 15:43I

- 15:481945.
- 15:49That's
- 15:50my
- 15:50younger
- 15:50sister.
- 15:51Her
- 15:51mother

- 16:00somewhere
- 16:02from
- 16:02May
- 16:03to
- 16:03September.
- 16:04It's
- 16:04a
- 16:05cautious
- 16:05optimism.
- 16:06Yes,
- 16:07yes.
- 16:08We
- 16:08didn't
- 16:08get
- 16:08rid

- 16:08air
- 16:09raid
- 16:09shelters

- 16:10that,
- 16:10or
- 16:10our
- 16:10gas
- 16:11masks.
- 16:11We
- 16:11still
- 16:11kept
- 16:11those
- 16:12and
- 16:13carried
- 16:13them
- 16:13with
- 16:13us.
- 16:14What
- 16:15do
- 16:15you
- 16:15think
- 16:16younger
- 16:16generations
- 16:17should
- 16:17understand
- 16:18about
- 16:18that
- 16:19time
- 16:19in
- 16:19history?
- 16:20I'm
- 16:20thinking
- 16:20about
- 16:21my
- 16:21grandsons
- 16:21who
- 16:21are
- 16:2216
- 16:22and
- 16:2217.
- 16:22And
- 16:23with
- 16:23the
- 16:23current
- 16:23situation
- 16:24of
- 16:24war
- 16:26would
- 16:26possibly
- 16:27be
- 16:27with
- 16:27us
- 16:28quite
- 16:28different
- 16:28from
- 16:28our
- 16:29war
- 16:29because,
- 16:29I
- 16:29mean,
- 16:29it'll
- 16:30be
- 16:30the
- 16:30push
- 16:30of
- 16:30an
- 16:30atomic
- 16:30button
- 16:31or
- 16:31something
- 16:31even
- 16:31worse
- 16:32or
- 16:32whatever,
- 16:32and
- 16:32it'll
- 16:32go.
- 16:33They
- 16:34won't
- 16:34experience
- 16:34it.
- 16:35But
- 16:35I
- 16:35think
- 16:35it
- 16:35mustn't
- 16:36be
- 16:36glamorised.
- 16:38I
- 16:38think
- 16:38they
- 16:38should
- 16:38certainly
- 16:39be
- 16:40aware
- 16:40of
- 16:40it.
- 16:40And
- 16:41I
- 16:41think
- 16:41if
- 16:41they
- 16:42see
- 16:42how
- 16:42their
- 16:42families
- 16:43handled
- 16:44it,
- 16:45they
- 16:45would
- 16:45understand
- 16:46more
- 16:46than
- 16:46just
- 16:46being
- 16:47told
- 16:47like
- 16:47a
- 16:47history
- 16:48lesson.
- 16:49Your
- 16:49grandfather
- 16:50did
- 16:50this.
- 16:50You've
- 16:51seen
- 16:51it
- 16:51a
- 16:51bit
- 16:51on
- 16:51the
- 16:52family
- 16:52history
- 16:52programs
- 16:53on
- 16:53the
- 16:53television.
- 16:53They're
- 16:53a
- 16:53bit
- 16:54glamorised,
- 16:55but
- 16:55if
- 16:55they
- 16:55know
- 16:55how
- 16:56it
- 16:56affected
- 16:56their
- 16:57family
- 16:57both
- 16:58mentally
- 16:59and
- 16:59physically,
- 16:59I
- 17:00think
- 17:00the
- 17:00mental
- 17:00aspect
- 17:01is
- 17:01a
- 17:01very
- 17:01important
- 17:01one.
- 17:02And
- 17:03I've
- 17:03seen
- 17:03that
- 17:03with
- 17:03my
- 17:03late
- 17:04husband.
- 17:04He
- 17:04was
- 17:05in
- 17:05the
- 17:06National
- 17:06Serviceman.
- 17:07He
- 17:07was
- 17:07blown
- 17:07up
- 17:07in
- 17:07Cyprus.
- 17:09And
- 17:09we
- 17:10didn't
- 17:10know
- 17:10at
- 17:10the
- 17:11time
- 17:11because
- 17:11we
- 17:11were
- 17:11walking
- 17:11on
- 17:11Kings
- 17:12Road,
- 17:12Chelsea.
- 17:13He
- 17:13fell
- 17:13flat
- 17:13on
- 17:13his
- 17:14face
- 17:14when
- 17:14a
- 17:14car
- 17:14backfired.
- 17:15He
- 17:16thought
- 17:16he
- 17:16was
- 17:16being

- 17:17again,
- 17:17you

- 17:20days,
- 17:2140,
- 17:2250
- 17:22years
- 17:22ago.
- 17:23And
- 17:23I

- 17:24they
- 17:24realized
- 17:25that
- 17:25with
- 17:26war
- 17:27and
- 17:27the
- 17:28results
- 17:28of
- 17:29war,
- 17:29it's
- 17:29so
- 17:29desperate,
- 17:30negotiation
- 17:31so
- 17:32important,
- 17:33but

- 17:36the
- 17:36bad
- 17:36and
- 17:36be
- 17:37tolerant.
- 17:37I
- 17:38think
- 17:38that's
- 17:38my
- 17:38main
- 17:39message
- 17:39to
- 17:39the
- 17:39younger
- 17:39people.

- 17:41of
- 17:42the
- 17:42story,
- 17:42see
- 17:42yours.
- 17:43Because
- 17:44wars
- 17:44on
- 17:44the
- 17:44whole
- 17:45are
- 17:45by
- 17:45politicians
- 17:46who
- 17:46probably
- 17:46haven't
- 17:47been
- 17:47there.
- 17:48The
- 17:48man
- 17:48in
- 17:48the
- 17:48street
- 17:49does
- 17:49what
- 17:49he's

- 30:37a
- 30:37topic
- 30:37to
- 30:38discuss.
- 30:38It's
- 30:39awkward.
- 30:39And
- 30:40I
- 30:40have
- 30:40taken
- 30:41things
- 30:41offline.
- 30:41I've

- 30:57difficult.
- 30:58Political
- 30:58posts
- 30:58are
- 30:59difficult
- 30:59because
- 31:00everybody
- 31:00has

- 31:01political
- 31:01view.
- 31:02And
- 31:02unfortunately,

- 31:08from
- 31:08banter
- 31:09to
- 31:09something
- 31:09else.
- 31:10And
- 31:10that
- 31:10is
- 31:11what
- 31:11happens.
- 31:11And
- 31:11other
- 31:11groups
- 31:12have
- 31:12more
- 31:13or
- 31:13less
- 31:13the
- 31:13same
- 31:13way
- 31:13of
- 31:13dealing
- 31:14with
- 31:14it
- 31:14that
- 31:14we
- 31:14do.
