| Description: | HOW GIRLS PICK-UP Great footage of shop girls helping the war effort by working on a farm in their holidays Brief shot of a busy street in London's West End - looks like Oxford Street. Somewhere in the English countryside we see various shots of attractive West End shop girls working on a farm in their holidays - grooming horses, picking beans in a field (wearing shorts so we get some leg shots!) and having a picnic lunch. Most of the women wear trouser overalls. Commentator mentions they are helping to make up for the shortage of men working on the land. They are all wearing armbands with a crown motif. One girl powders her nose - they look like they're having a good time! The women lie down in the field for a nap. At the end of the day the girls go to a country pub and stand outside drinking pints of cider from tankards. | |
