CURRENT AFFAIRS ON THE MIDLAND (1980)

First of all, my apologies for some of my previous posts in which the screencaps had the wrong aspect ratio. This was because of a forced aspect ratio setting on VLC. I've corrected that now and it won't happen again! ;) Anyway, onto the main feature...

Current Affairs on the Midland is an absorbing report on the progress of the Bedford/St Pancras suburban electrification scheme. Riveting stuff, I think you'll agree!...

ROBBIE (1979)

Here's a classic extended public information film that I saw in school a few times back in the day...

Peter Purves introduces this short story about the dangers of playing on railway tracks (Keith "Cheggers" Chegwin introduced the 1986 redux).

The plot: Young Robbie, a keen footballer and a railway enthusiast, is persuaded by his big brother to go through a hole in a railway fence on to the track for some reason. His laces become caught on the tracks and he has an accident so serious that he will never play football again.

On IMDb this is listed under "Horror" - but I think "Drama" is more appropriate. But prepared for the shocking ending!

Rules of Ummo (please take time to read!)

1. Enjoy the site!
2. No requests. Just enjoy what surprises turn up on here.
3. Use the comments purely for comments - don't bombard me with links for other sites. Complaints are posted or rejected depending on whether I think they're worth sharing with the rest of the world. Also, don't ask for files to be re-ripped/converted/posted in other formats - that won't happen either. For example, music files are ripped to mp3 format - like it or lump it. Videos are usually of the XVID/Div-x format unless they are listed otherwise. I don't share DVD-Rs - I was going to but changed my mind. Everything posted here is done of my own free time and will - if it's not liked, you don't have to be here! There's a billion other similar sites out there doing the same thing which may suit you better.
4. I don't accept contributions - I prefer doing my own thing here.
5. This place is strictly a "grab what you can" place. If the filehoster deletes the links, you can alert me to the fact and I will try and repost them another time (but can't always promise).
6. Besides my own rips, I sometimes share other peoples' rips on here without crediting them. You're free to share my rips without crediting me as long as you don't take credit for them yourself or credit them to someone else. I never take credit for someone else's hard work. If something is ripped by me, it will say so in the post and nfo - if not then it won't.
7. Enjoy the site!
