[British public information films](http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/films/1945to51/filmindex.htm) from 1940-1951 have been digitized and put on line for our enjoyment. Caveat: they are no longer the best advice, making some of them quite hilarious. ---

I love PIFs, they remind me of my childhood growing up in the UK. There are two DVDs out called “Charley Says” which features many of the great ones from the 1960s and 1970s, like Tufty the Squirrel and The Green Cross Code Man. You should check them out if you’re a fan… ---

That “Coughs and Sneezes” PIF is so funny! The guy has tears running down his face from his sneezing frenzy.
