What, Tufty?Was it Tufty and if not, why does that name spring to mind?

whist the mobile cinema provided entertainment primarily for school kids during the long summer breaks there was also an educational side to it served as a great medium to put across road safety to us tearaways

Oh, really? That sounds good....but I'm not sure I can be bothered to drag myself all the way over there. Wendell park would be so much more convenient!

There's a temporary outdoor cinema in the summer at the scoop outside the city hall by the river - mostly showing oldies I think.
Good idea Lina, but the Summers were just as variable then as now. In fact this year has reverted to 'normal service'.

I'm too young to remember that, but it sounds like a lovely idea. Watching films in the park on a summer's evening sounds magical....but maybe you had proper summers in those days and could rely on it not chucking it down.
