Just been watching this rather ancient programme this afternoon, and its got me thinking what it would it be like if it was done now and how Trumpton might look,
Well, first of all Mr Munnings printing press would no longer be there - this would be done by some big corporation far far away, maybe another country.
Nick Fisher the Bill poster would be a Polish or Bulgarian immigrant as he can undercut British workers.
Pugh, Pugh, Barney-Mcgrew, Cuthbert, Dibble and Grub would certainly NOT be riding open top on that fire engine for health and safety reasons.
The annual Trumpton bandstand concert would have been cancelled as the insurance company wanted stupid amounts of money to insure, and anyway the bandstand would be in a state of dis-repair as the council have no money due to Government capping, and National Lottery don't think its important to fund as pot bellied pigs farmers in Outer Mongolia are more important.
Mr Clamp would not be allowed to sell his fruit and veg outside his shop for fear of being sued in case someone falls over the display.
Miss Lovelace would certainly not be allowed to sell flowers in the square unless she has a licence and insurance and wearing a hard hat.
But the town hall square will still be empty of traffic. Why? Because all the cars have been taxed off the road (any cars that do risk getting into the square will be congestion charged at £10), and commercial vehicles are only allowed between 6am and 6.05am.
Welcome to United Kingdom 2006.
