Photo - A chair lift, in this case for an older gentleman Some truths apply in any era. I have here pulled an older article and rewritten it for 2021. There is much to learn from events 80 years ago even if a sitcom. The 1970's Dad's Army British television hit series has many telling lines, not least the very first program titled 'The Man and the Hour' where the opening scene has a post war function celebrating the launch of the 'Back Britain' campaign. The guest of honour is the indubitable Captain George Mainwaring introduced by his trustworthy Sargent and Chief Clerk at Swallow Bank Arthur Wilson. Captain Mainwaring in responding to such an introduction said that he has always backed Britain and harked back to 1940 when the Home Guard was formed.
