First Four Years (1951) | BFI National Archive
This majestic documentary tells the story of ambitious modernisation in the Welsh steel and tinplate industry. This involved upgrading the Margam works near Port Talbot and building both the Abbey hot strip mill next door and a new cold rolling mill and tinplate works at Trostre near Llanelli. Film cameras were frequently on hand: thanks to them, an integrated mega-complex takes shape before our eyes.
The film was produced by cooperative production company DATA, whose dynamic leader Donald Alexander secured rolling contracts with both the National Coal Board (for the Mining Review series for which DATA is best known) and the Steel Company of Wales for ongoing coverage of the developments summarised here. No doubt DATA's filmmakers, based in London, frequently combined steel with coal filmmaking trips to Wales. Clocking in at over 40 minutes, this compilation of DATA's footage is an exhaustive progress report on four years' worth of large-scale and complex work. Taken a sequence at a time, it's engrossing industrial history. Taken as a whole it's a cinematic monument, colossal in scale but intricate in detail, to the magnitude of a major project - and the sheer ambitious optimism of the postwar re-investment in British industry that lay behind it.

Armitage Shanks Cree toilet in a public toilet in Briton Ferry (Neath)
Here is one of the public toilets in Briton Ferry by the Lodge, I filmed this one before but I deleted the video but I thought I'd film it again.
Anyway here is an old 1970's/1980's public toilet block that feature Armitage Shanks stuff from that time so the toilets, sinks and Urinals etc are original.
I did not film the urinals since they are just Armitage Shanks Contour urinals and the sink was an in wall Armitage Shanks Sandringham sink but the toilet which I filmed is an old Armitage Shanks Cree back to wall toilet with a new syphon in the cistern since it flushes much better then last time I seen this.
The toilet is in very poor condition since there are some glaze cracks in the china and there are some normal cracks in the bottom of the toilet but it does not leak but still.
I am not really a big fan of this design myself since they produce poor flushes even though if the syphon is good but this one flushes alright.
The cistern is low level concealed lever flush instead of high level concealed which is expected from this time but low level is good enough and for type of pan these would work better with high level concealed cisterns so yeah, not the best design in the world but it's good for some I guess.
The flush sound is quite nice and sounds like a very old toilet and also the room it self has very old and creepy atmosphere.
1970's LL AS Magnia
With a newer mismatching cistern.
Mail's was an ugly Magnia compact in a dull 3/10 setting. Lerdies had this in one cubicle. Good flush, good condition too. The ph is unfortinetly a luvvie establishment that charges £2.50 for half a pint of diet coke..
PH: 3/10
Terlits: 5/10
Builder: refurbished by NORWICH BREWERY 1970's.

AS Ventura toilet at Llandarcy Academy Of Sport Campus (Grŵp NPTC Group)
Here is the Phase B ground floor student toilets at my college which was built in 2011 and opened in 2012.
Phase A opened in February 2005 and Phase B which has the wall hung Twyford Sola toilets and the Armitage Shanks Ventura which is shown here also Phase B opened in 2012.
In here there is an Armitage Shanks Ventura from 2011.
These toilets believe it or not have lovely flushes but they can block very easy but I have to say I had no trouble from these at all but I have noticed one thing if the toilet is flushed all the time the water seems to stop going to the cistern so it will not fill up for like 5 to 10 minutes which happens to me before.
The toilets them self are really nice and I like these a lot also the bubbly flushing sound is really nice and the student toilets have two wall hung Twyford Solas.
This was filmed at the Llandarcy Academy Of Sport College Campus Grŵp NPTC Group.
Twyfords Nocturne toilet at Neath Leisure Centre (Neath)
Here are the first set of toilets in the Neath Leisure Centre and here they are.
In here there are two sinks, three Twyfords Spectrume urinals and a Twyfords Nocturne toilet from the 5th of April 1992 with a alright flush.
The syphon is a Dudley Turbo, dual flush rubbish thing it is and the disabled has a Twyfords Classic from 1991 which I will film and the changing rooms have a Nocturne too so I will film that and the Avalon soon.
The Great Gildersleeve: Leroy Smokes a Cigar / Canary Won't Sing / Cousin Octavia Visits
The Great Gildersleeve (1941--1957), initially written by Leonard Lewis Levinson, was one of broadcast history's earliest spin-off programs. Built around Throckmorton Philharmonic Gildersleeve, a character who had been a staple on the classic radio situation comedy Fibber McGee and Molly, first introduced on Oct. 3, 1939, ep. #216. The Great Gildersleeve enjoyed its greatest success in the 1940s. Actor Harold Peary played the character during its transition from the parent show into the spin-off and later in a quartet of feature films released at the height of the show's popularity.
On Fibber McGee and Molly, Peary's Gildersleeve was a pompous windbag who became a consistent McGee nemesis. You're a haa-aa-aa-aard man, McGee! became a Gildersleeve catchphrase. The character was given several conflicting first names on Fibber McGee and Molly, and on one episode his middle name was revealed as Philharmonic. Gildy admits as much at the end of Gildersleeve's Diary on the Fibber McGee and Molly series (Oct. 22, 1940).
Premiering on August 31, 1941, The Great Gildersleeve moved the title character from the McGees' Wistful Vista to Summerfield, where Gildersleeve now oversaw his late brother-in-law's estate and took on the rearing of his orphaned niece and nephew, Marjorie (originally played by Lurene Tuttle and followed by Louise Erickson and Mary Lee Robb) and Leroy Forester (Walter Tetley). The household also included a cook named Birdie. Curiously, while Gildersleeve had occasionally spoken of his (never-present) wife in some Fibber episodes, in his own series the character was a confirmed bachelor.
In a striking forerunner to such later television hits as Bachelor Father and Family Affair, both of which are centered on well-to-do uncles taking in their deceased siblings' children, Gildersleeve was a bachelor raising two children while, at first, administering a girdle manufacturing company (If you want a better corset, of course, it's a Gildersleeve) and then for the bulk of the show's run, serving as Summerfield's water commissioner, between time with the ladies and nights with the boys. The Great Gildersleeve may have been the first broadcast show to be centered on a single parent balancing child-rearing, work, and a social life, done with taste and genuine wit, often at the expense of Gildersleeve's now slightly understated pomposity.
Many of the original episodes were co-written by John Whedon, father of Tom Whedon (who wrote The Golden Girls), and grandfather of Deadwood scripter Zack Whedon and Joss Whedon (creator of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Firefly and Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog).
The key to the show was Peary, whose booming voice and facility with moans, groans, laughs, shudders and inflection was as close to body language and facial suggestion as a voice could get. Peary was so effective, and Gildersleeve became so familiar a character, that he was referenced and satirized periodically in other comedies and in a few cartoons.
