And the only thing I can remember about that show was when the show was about over the Ladyship started crying about it being over and how she enjoyed having everything done for her and one of the maids thinking it was rude that, back in time, the maids had to turn to the wall when the Lord or Lady came near them. Anyone remember that show?????

Not too sure about the UK since almost everybody who wanted a better life went into the British Army. From what I could gather from old photos, the British Farmer during the Industrial Revolution, the ones who embraced machinery, did quite well for themselves!

      It would be like, living in a lockdown for months where the rules are that you cannot leave your house and every time you turn on the news you see more and more deaths.
      Try to keep your sanity while you are practically trapped in your home with your very annoying "family members", but every time you are near them, you have to stay 6 feet away and wear a mask or they are "eliminated" because you are "infected", so every time you see them, you have to worry about hospitalizing and possibly killing them by accident.
      Oh, and you have to strategically place clean objects (face towels, etc.) around so they don't touch the objects contaminated with COVID and wash your hands almost every hour and don't touch your eyes or nose...
      And every time you receive mail, you have to figure out how to avoid spreading the germs from that around your house. You also have to ration all your disinfecting supplies, soap, and toilet paper for that month because there's no more.
      Bonus round: you have kids, so you have to disinfect everything before they touch it because kids touch everything then touch their eyes and pick their noses 24/7.

      Corsets or stays weren't supposed to be laced up all the way, especially in working day-to-day. When fitted properly it proved great back support and alignment assistance. Only a few high-fashion people like high-society socialites would often do that for a dramatic look when they didn't need to do any work except look pretty. like saying every woman today wore 6inch stiletto heels. You CAN do it, but it wasn't the norm. there are actually some really interesting videos about it that historical fashion CZcamsrs like Karolina Żebrowska (Meme MOOOOM) and Bernedette Banner does a less than 12 minute video about victorian corsets and who wore what and why.

    Tiger has the right idea. You're in desperate poverty, no safety nets, no one will help, so you have to do what you can to survive. If some stolen veg can keep you alive another day, and a stolen ring can provide for you when you are too sick to work for a while, that's what you need to do. Morality will leave you starving to death, you have to be looking out for yourself at other's expense sadly. Tiger would've been alive in those times. The rest would've changed or starved by that time.
