All very well but millions of working people in Victorian Britain were fine with houses roomy enough to accommodate a domestic servant and shell out money for such fashions of the time as fancy wallpaper, gas range, a week's holiday at the seaside and even better education for their kids. |

.......but, Rollo, millions of people in Victorian Britain didn't / couldn't work, or were on 'first come, maybe have a job for the day' jobs, and didn't live the way you describe. |

Joseph Rowntree didn't have a different point of view at all. |

I've never the Black Country Living Museum looking so grimy! Most of the jobs in that part of the museum would be metal bashing, nail and chain making. The people really did get the worst possible jobs. I'm not surprised some of them were gagging, the stink must have awful. I wonder if they knew what they were letting themselves in for? |

I watched it and thought it was typical of the times my gran used to talk about. |

Very few horse and carts when I was little, but it didn't stop my dad sending me out for horses 'doofers' (we lived on Dartmoor) |
