00:00What were the celebrations like on VE Day?
00:02Oh, they were out of this world.
00:04There were flags across the street,
00:06there were buntings, there were balloons flying,
00:09there were trimmings all over the place,
00:11as much to eat as you wanted,
00:13and it was a magnificent day.
00:15I'd just like to show you,
00:17what sort of toys did you have?
00:19Well, you've got a tank there.
00:21Yeah, I made this. What sort of toys did you have?
00:24Well, same as you, with tanks like this.
00:27We'd take little tanks and guns, little guns.
00:30Toy soldiers.
00:31We used to go to school with our gas mask.
00:34Yeah.
00:35Over our shoulder.
00:36Crazy.
00:37Crazy, as you say.
00:38You must have had to be very brave to know that the Germans could have,
00:41with the Battle of Britain,
00:42knowing that the Germans could have come over at any time.
00:44They could have come over, couldn't they?
00:46Yeah.
00:47I'll put it to you this way,
00:49it was very, very frightening.
00:51Very, very frightening.
00:53Well, it's been an absolute pleasure talking with you.
00:55I've really enjoyed it.
00:56I've enjoyed it with you.
00:58It's one of the best interviews I've had.
01:01Oh, thank you.
01:02It's been absolutely brilliant.
01:05You've enjoyed it, Thomas.
01:06Acadish yet.
01:07Thank you very much, Thomas.
