The woman complaining that the men in the office are a bit "dull" - "You think they'd line up all the girls and have a 'best legs in the office' competition or something". This has me rolling, man how times have changed.

The lady in accounts started work in 1919. Amazing. Such a different time.

Those in this video had no idea that one day, 50+ years later, hundreds of thousands would be watching and commenting on it. Thank you BBC Archives for sharing this slice of history 😉
