Civilians Drinking Hot Drinks While Sheltering from Bombs in the London Underground, 1940. Britain during the Second World War: people sheltering from the London Blitz. 'Below the world's greatest city a host settles to sleep, deep from the fearful night [ie German bombing raids]. Burrows for human beings away from the bombs and a rain of steel from the well-meaning [ie British] guns. Isn't that the tea tray coming round? So wake up, Mrs Higgins of Bethnal Green, tea's up ducks. Drink it while it's nice and hot'. From "Time To Remember - Standing Alone", 1940 (Reel 4); documentary film about events of later months of 1940.
