@@cha0ticneutralbigs When I've gone to Colonial Williamsburg I've found the stories about slaves very interesting. There is even a case which they play acted, where a woman OWNED her preacher. The slave felt called by God to preach and he was so gifted at delivering sermons that his owner started attending his services. I think eventually she set him free. They also had a crowd scene where a slave can't understand how his master and the others were revolting against the King for their "freedom".

@@DasZuckerhaus As a child I liked to ask my great auntie Dot about what life was like when she was young. I remember learning about Suffragettes at school and she told me their colours were purple, green and white. One of her early memories was Mafeking Night (in 1900 during the Boer War). She also talked about how there was one pot over the fire for dinner which cooked for over an hour, so all the vegetables in it were probably not so healthy by then. Actually she apparently nearly died from anaemia when she was young, but ended up outliving all her siblings. And she wasn't too keen on more modern and casual attitudes to sex, although she never married herself (part of the generation who lost so many men and therefore potential husbands in WW1 trenches). I think what helped get her through everything was firstly life was tough for everyone when she was younger so you had to become tough enough to get through anyway, and she would have appreciated modern medicines, the NHS and other modern advances, and also I think her strong faith as a Christian. She was certainly a lovely lady, though I only remember her when she was old (born in early 60s myself). I would recommend young people today to talk to old people and ask them about their lives before it's too late. Not only would it be nice for any old people living by themselves to have someone to talk to, you can learn a lot about what life was like in the past. Even for myself, as someone now in my late fifties, I've seen a lot of changes and though some things are good like more advanced medical procedures and a plethora of modern medicines to make life more enjoyable as you age (and how did we cope before mobile phones?!), I don't actually like everything I see in the world today. In particular, freedom of speech isn't what it was, which I find deeply concerning.

So she had to sit&watch, how her husband was trying desperately to bake bread without any skills and with an anctient equipement! So, show producers just "framed" this poor lady&her family in order to "entartain" the audience with artificially created drama. "The supersizers go..." is much better in this respect,- no stupid drama, just science, interesting facts & fun!

On top of that, around here anyway, I have the benefit of being able to get many items package-free, which eliminates the package waste of course, but also oftentimes saves me money, because I can get just what I need.

It's not that an Edwardian's shop keeper's life was that difficult when he had the support and help of his whole wife and two children, no, what was difficult (as with every other situation that a man's role with all of his support and perks are compared to a woman's role) is that she didn't have any of that, still accomplished the bare minimum he did at the very least. This is still true today. Show me a large example of men taking over the woman's role and their ability to keep up and going. Even when men are all about the whole "stay at home dad" thing, they still don't have it all on their mind for every single person in the household. Ive never heard of a father that does and also does all that momma does, but women have been out there for centuries just crushing it.

This woman is a baker ans ahe's calling lard "vile?" I have been baking since I was a child and I'd kill to be able to use lard because it makes the besr crusts, rolls and southern style biscuits, things come out lighter, more tender and flakier. Lard os simply another form of fat just like butter or shortening and if you cannot manage it don't call yourself a baker This aversion to lard was all about Crisco hyping it's shorteninh and vilifying lard so that more people would buy it instead. if you research it, lard is no more unhealthy than butter, She just bought into the myth that lard is bad, but any really experoemced baker knows the value of wonderful pristine white lard, the French pastry makers certainly do. The fact is she got hung up on the lard and is now blaming her cakes not cooking on it which makes no sense at all since it is lighter than butter when it cooks and is not as rich, Her cakes aren't cooking because she just doesn't know how to use her oven or control the heat. If she had a cake in for half a day it sure isn't the fat she is using's fault it's because she isn't cooking it hot enough and from the looks she is making her cakes too thick.

It's not very realistic to have all the men return from war in this show. They should've taken a few of them away and inform the ladies they're on their own with the shops now because their husbands or sons died in battle, and a few other lost a leg or a hand or an eye or got their lungs wrecked with mustard gas and are no longer able to do any work. And additionally suffer panic attacks at every louder sound because of the shell shock. That would be a more realistic historical reenactment.

I had no idea that men and boys were taken that swiftly to war. At least in the US during Vietnam, everyone knew ahead of time it was a possibility. Imagine waking up in the morning, thinking you'd be in bed that night, only to find out you're going to war and have to to group up in 30 minutes and go....

The US didn't get into either world war until they had already been going for 3 years. The English were trying to hold the Germans back so there was very little warning. The Commonwealth countries conscripted men by the town so they had a bit more time but it took weeks to get them there by sea. Then they stayed until the end of the war.

Knowing that the edwardian period was 1900s-1910s it boggles my mind that there are still a handful of people alive who were old enough to be born in it. Sarah Lillian Priest the oldest person in UK is now 112 born in 1908

I don't think they accurately depict how much of a community effort it took to keep all parts of life afloat during war-time; that "business as usual" would not have been such a solitary burden leaving these women in turmoil. Why focus on depicting how much they lost rather than the methods they used to come together and overcome?

The best thing about the earlier years was less waste, more use out of most things, like clothing for children would be hand-me-downs for example. Unlike present times, there wasn't all that uselessness of everything being packaged, and individually wrapped things, only thing that comes close today that serves as an example, is delis and bakeries. Nowadays we use so much material and energy in the process of selling things, that the products of which factories/companies ect. make & produce, cost them less than it does to package them up and distribute. Think about the whole process it takes to get things from the production line, and to the stores, and even though your buying lets say a Hershey chocolate bar, there is so many companies involved just to get that chocolate bar to you. I'm up to late, and I don't know if I'm explaining this in the right words, so I apologize for this, but I feel like you probably understand what I'm saying. Be Blessed.

It's not that strange if you think about it. They run a delicatessen so she wouldn't need to bake cake on a regular basis; my last job was at a bakery that specialized in bread so I only sold bread, not cookies or cakes or very delicate sweets, for example.
