ATM machines, public telephones in the old days, the post office queue, airport check-ins. Doesn’t matter what it is, if someone is too close to me and starts doing that huffing and puffing I’m too important to wait like you had to thing, I think of this scene and smile.

Uplifting bliss from Jimmy Stewart and co. Got several reasons to love this, over and above its own reward.

 

 

My old dear’s old man used to hold meetings with the likes of Nye Bevan after he came home from WW2, and introduced her to loads of people like Michael Foot down the years. Who she got to sit and chat about politics with at length on several occasions. It came up on a Zoom chat this weekend (She never brings it up, my brother asked her while we were talking about politics, so she’s not a keeps twatting on about it type), how she can never forget being sat across from Foot on chairs in some hall talking, and he had sandals on (no socks, he wasn’t an animal) where the sole had detached, so his shoe looked like it was talking to her as well. Got shown around the House of Commons by one of the old traditional Labour lot, etc.

 

So she was brought up by and permanently around old socialists, spending her childhood campaigning for my grandad (he gave his life to it and helped turn a perma-conservative ward in Plymouth to Labour for a while, ending up Lord Mayor and then a town Alderman as a result, with The Last Post played at his funeral as a formal tribute) and the local party into her twenties, with their little council house permanently a hotbed of political canvassing and ideas as this group of people were always in and out.
 

She’s about as kind-hearted, genuine and giving - Oi now, stow the Mick McCarthy gifs! - a person as you could find and believes 100% in both treating people with decency but especially in the justice of such decency being rewarded. Not moved an inch to the right even at 73 and when it would benefit her personally, which I’m really proud of her for. We have a tradition if we’re together of watching 'It's A Wonderful Life' every Christmas Eve. Despite being an unemotional lady generally, and rarely seeing her cry at anything, I’ve never seen her watch this scene even once without filling up.

Came here to post this. Damn near jumped through the ceiling when it happened. 

 

My opinion of Phil Leotardo as a man with a head just fuckin' plummeted.
