Hi Matt,

Wow, what a find ! I think most people think of this as a modern craze - I had no idea people were doing this barmy stuff in the 1930's ! I watched this with my mouth open and an OMG look on my face ! A few clashes with Health and Safety there ! Now that I know that no one gets hurt I will watch again - hopefully with my mouth closed this time ! : ))

I tripped over this little number while I was on Facebook :).

I thought parkour was just a modern thing as well. Quite surprised to see it being done in the 30s.

Most new things are rediscovered, I take delight in pointing this out to the kids! Being the old man in work!

Read the title as "Parlour 1930 style" and was expecting some ones front room decorated like my grandmas...

Quite a pleasant surprise as I have been a great fan of Parkour for many years

It would be funny if it was a video about decorating a parlour in the 30s :).

Oh I don't know since I have been off work I have watched so many things ; how to restore a canal boat, various obscure history and a whole load of things that my life is missing via the kind people of QVC !!

Funny how this head injury plays tricks on you. Today is w as looking at at a sign that said "Come and see our Bristol" it took me several minutes to work out it was Bistro! as Black Adder used to say "Clucking Bell" or something like that

Blackadder! I love that show. Do you know what irony is?

It is like bronzy and goldy only it is made of iron :).

Just watched the video Matt,

love the sport did the sport for 4 nearly 5 years, best sport I've ever done, I felt so free just jumping over walls and dropping down 10ft drops, didn't like the injuries that I got from the sport though, I didn't realize it was a sport that has been around for quite some time, I to thought it was quite a modern sport,

Take care,

Siobhan :)
