Plague is certainly one way to gentrify an area and hike up the rent prices, or the feudal tie tilling hours. No wonder she's so excited. (And Craig's polar opposite.)
I came across your sketches purely by accident a short while ago, and have been binge watching you. You are absolutely brilliant. I love your sense of humour. Great work. 💯👍
I, who is from and in South Asia, am so dumb as to not even understand the "Murican" way of rambling English. And I too, after suddenly finding Eleanor's channel, got so enchanted and would often binge. . Though I cannot for the life of me fully differentiate between various twangs or accents like London versus other parts of England, generic Irish or other local Irish accents and Scottish🤗 nuances, idiosyncrasies... I really started watching more videos of Scott's talking, debriefs of diction and podcasts. Her recent Thank You video after getting past a (50000 plus family) milestone czcams.com/video/T6rNXb5k5j0/video.html is where Eleanor😇🤍 does mention that that is her natural voice. And yes.. such (short) sketches as that of Eleanor, Shraddha m.czcams.com/users/AiyyoShraddhaabout keep us recharged and going.. even on the tougher days in life.
Me too, every time I see a new video I get excited, because I know I am going to laugh my ass off! It's a real talent to make you imagine everything she is talking about, like you imagine that she is really whatever characters she is playing and that she is where she is saying she is too, it's amazing! It kind reminds me of when I was a kid imagining all sorts of things, like the whole Idea that the floor is lava or something similar to that, though mine was usually the entire backyard and me and my brother could only walk in a small area near the fence around are yard, lol!
I am especially excited about the utility room. I don't have one where I'm living now. It's a fair hike to do one's business...quite drafty in the winter.
You done it again, sweety-pie. I'm very interested in buying one of your properties because I am starting a businesss running winter stall markets on the frozen Thames. I will need to be close to my site, and ladder access from the Bridge would be ideal. Do you have a property that does not have the feudal tie? Although I suppose I could delegate the working people to go to the Lord's fields. With regard to payment, I will be able to supply 3 deposit pigs right away, and I do have access to apple orchards, so supplies would be no problem. Do you want what we call "Baby Cider", (apples), or REAL CIDER? The cloth would be difficult, I might have to either negociate another item, or an increase in the agreed items, or steal some cloth. The last option is always the easiest without streetlights at night. When the Thames freezes over, and I get my stalls built, we can co-operate on you renting them out for me, and taking a cut from the rents. If that is OK, that is! We'll make a killing, at least until the Thames starts to thaw, when I expect a lot of the renters won''t know how to swim! BFN
Eleanor you crack me up AND set my heart RACING!!! GORGEOUS and BRILLIANT Comedienne! I absolutely HATE that the Pond provides 4244 miles between us; damn I'd love to catch a show and buy you a drink
@@chasbodaniels1744 We had to walk a mile every day to our ditch, just to get water. Washing waited until spring. Then, like clockwork, we washed every week.
@@95rav Well to be fair if one made it past the age of 12 or so in the medieval era, they could expect to live to 60 or 70, it was child and infant mortality that brought down the life expectancy more so than anything else.
@@allthenewsordeath5772 Well, to be fairer, when you spend your lives mucking about in dirt and pigs shit, without antibiotics, a simple scratch can bring you undone quite easily.

But the peasant class had to contend with disease, poor food (and associated dental issues) and often being cannon-fodder as well. I doubt the a average pleb made it past 50.
It helps if you know a little about this area of England and how it was in Medieval days! I watch a lot of historical videos on YT, and recently about the area she talks about, which makes it funnier! 😀😉
Thank you for continuing to make these. You are so hilarious, and your videos bring me so much joy in a way other comedians I also love can’t quite. You are so talented, I wish you ALL the success! Please never stop pursuing your dreams, your humor is a gift to this world!

I absolutely cannot believe that you’ve been here for a decade and I’ve only just found you!... Better late than never I guess... You are absolutely hilarious and charming!!! 😊 I’ve only just watched but a few of your videos, but you’ve definitely given me an ear to ear grin, which is pretty dang impressive considering me... 🤣 Looking forward to watching more! Btw, do you do this professionally too?
_"which means you'll be working for him 8 to 12 hours"_ In fact, the arrangement was actually that one worked most of the time to one's own crops and perhaps dairy animals and pigs to slaughter, while some days per year you had to work for the lord - I'd rather call him manorial than feudal, feudal is like US federation over states over counties, but with usually hereditary monarchs over each. I think Hawaii was 50th state, I know from more recent exposure that Liechtenstein was the 343:rd (cube of seven) state in the Holy Roman Empire. Now the _manorial_ lord (the one a serf or sometimes even a free tenant worked some days for) need not be a feudal lord. It could be a Church even if not feudally ruling, it could be a hospital, it could be a university, or it could even be a private citizen of the burgher type. The beginning was obviously accurate, but only for around middle of the Fourteenth Century. Not for the entire Middle Ages (often counted as 5th to 15th).
The view from London Bridge now is a bit hotter and more desolate than it was back then. The real estate is much more expensive as well, but that is Arizona for you
The idea of the landlords searching feverishly for the deposit pig pen is gonna stay rent free in my head 'cause I'm no pig stealing landlord.
Rent free hahahaha
Classic estate agent line: "I really like you guys....". I really believe her.
Isn't it😆👌🏽👍🏼💙🤍
She should have said: "There's a guaranteed job that goes with the apartment, isn't that wonderful?!"
"Communal garden? How about a communal bed?" "Deposit pig"
It's all gold.
Actually, I think it’s all wood. Well, maybe not the pig.
@@oneminuteofmyday Would the pig be iron?
@@stephenlee5929 You could throw it in the Thames and see if it floats. If not, it might be iron. If it does, it might be a witch.
And if it is a witch, then it has to be killed... in public.
Like a mini-celebration, an event or an evening out for the families.
@@oneminuteofmyday If it floats, take it out, dry it off, go to Pudding Lane and burn it. What could possibly go wrong?
Given the current housing market it doesn't sound so bad. Now, if only I could afford a pig.
Try the local police station.
Or the Legislative assembly and of-course the national parliament is always a failsafe.
Everywhere there's lots of piggies, living piggie lives

Actually fun fact medieval peasants on average worked 30% fewer hours annually than modern wage workers.

They also lived 30% fewer years - so it balances out.
