In the UK there is no need to talk differently to Kings and peasants, if peasants existed today. Just common decency and manners are required in both instances.
I swear, Conner, at times Americans astonish me. Why do you imagine it's called the imperial system? It's not referring to the American Empire, is it now? In the UK, we use a mixture of imperial and metric units. For instance, we go for a pint (beer), not a litre. Most people refer to distances in miles, not kilometres. We say our weight in stones and pounds and our height in feet and inches. 'The imperial system is a measurement system that includes inches, ounces, feet, pounds, cups, gallons, miles, and tons. It has also been called imperial units, the British Imperial and Exchequer Standards. The name "imperial" is used in reference to the British Empire from which it was developed. The imperial system has a derivative used in the United States. The United States' customary system of measurement is derived directly from the imperial system. When the colonists settled in the United States during the 18th century, they brought with them the imperial measuring system and adopted it as their own.'
So why haven't you got rid of the stupid imperial system yet? The American imperial system isn't even the same as the UK one, seriously, it's almost 2025, this is nonsens. If the UK doesn't completely switch to the metric system, I swear, I'll kick it out of the EU.
Not all true. I'm 77 and measure my height in metres and my weight in kilograms. If you go to the doctor or hospital, they will do the same. I measure everything in metric and have not used Imperial since the early 1970s, with the exception of miles and perhaps pints when referring to draft beer. Stones and pounds is so complex, as is measuring in Imperial such as a height in feet, inches and fractions of an inch
@@scrappystocks I am 86 and have never gone over to metric and do not intend to. If the Dr. gives me any metric measurements I immediately ask for a conversion. It seems that a baby's weight is still measured in pounds and ounces. When people talk about kilometres it really annoys me because we are still officially in miles. We asked for an opt out from the hated EU because it would have cost a huge amount of money.
You know, when you speak about your feelings, it's very interesting. We can relate. And what i can relate too is the difficulty to find the right words. Don't hesitate and go on expressing yourself. It's universal.
Grass is grown long in meadows to feed sheep snd cattle. That's why our butter, milk, cheese and meat are so good. Even ibgardebs, we grow grass ling because it looks nicer and provides flowers for pollinators. A lot of us participate in No Mow May, when we let flowers crow ib our lawns to help bees and butterflies. Nothibg is sadder or more usektess than a short lawn.
Many years ago I used to rent a room twice a week in a very old large house near Castle Cary, Somerset. The elderly lady told me to check out the glass in my bedroom window . There in the corner were scratched the letters JA and CA. Apparently Jane and here sister had stayed there and mischievously scratched their initials using a diamond ring on the glass. I wonder if the present owners know!
Pounds and ounces are the Imperial measurements that England used for hundreds of years until the 1970's when we changed to metric measurements to be in line with the E.U. Obviously the U.S. took our measurements when the settlers went to America.
Watched a few of your vids and I agree with another commenter, you really have strong feelings for 1700-1800’s and old stuff in general. Particularly buildings and gardens. I think you are an old soul who probably had previous lives. Possibly building stairs as you get almost teary eyed when you see the narrow spiral staircases! Or I heard about a theory re ‘inherited memory’, the idea that our ancestors can pass on strong emotions connected to visual stimuli and experience! Your predecessors were most likely from the UK too!
We used imperial measurements in Britain such as stones, pounds & ounces, feet & inches, pounds shillings and pence, long before we went metric in 1965. Americans use that system as the pilgrim settlers from England brought it with them to the America's in 1607
Your hair is just fine, you do realise you have an obsession with grass I live in Kent,I have a huge green lawn. You ollare more than welcome to come and cut it. I even have a sit on lawnmower.😂 I hate cutting the blooming lawn. Takes forever. My grass is very green due to our miserable weather for months. Electricity? ...yes your mind is wandering😂😂 I've been watching for ages. But never commented before. Little comment... You are a sweetie, stop worrying about stuff, I'm 66 and learned that doesn't matter how much you worry the outcome won't change. OMG.. I'm emotional today is my birthday I'm bloody 67!!! How did that ever happen😢 See stuff happens ....sod all you can do about it. You make me smile..😂 don't change. 😂 Ooo forgot to say my house was built in 1553. Thought you'd like to know.
You are taking a leaf from Cromwell's book - he was painted "warts and all" at his own insistence but he was also the man who abolished Christmas so be careful whose company you keep!
When you started with " I combed my hair", I thought you were quoting from a Jane Austen book 😅. It looks lovely by the way! You were born in the wrong time. I think you were a gardener in a previous life in a posh country house... grass.
HAPPY NEW YEAR to you Connor. Don't forget your US measuring system is based on our Imperial system: Pounds, ounces, pints, quarts, gallons, feet, inches, yards, miles, acres, and so on. We stopped using this system in the 1970's when we entered the Common Market which gradually turned into the EU. You should not look too poorly on the English Class System. Each of our three main Classes throughout our history shaped and formed so much of our Culture and yours. Under this system England created Freedoms for its people, which were brand new concepts to the rest of the World. ('The True History of Freedom Never Taught in Schools' and 'Why Britain Advanced Ahead of Europe' both by your Thomas Sowell). Worth a look? Don't forget too that from 1807 we also spent 175 years and the wealth of our Empire on a Crusade to rid the World of Slavery. Even though it was illegal to have slaves here (from 1086) and not to our own benefit. Just the right thing to do. I will also like to mention the two Agricultural Revolutions that led to feeding the World, and the Industrial Revolution which created the modern world. Just saying! Jane Austen is one of our family's favourite Authors so we thoroughly enjoyed this Reaction We've all had a little too much to eat over the past three days so it was nice to just relax on the sofa and watch 'the tour'. Thank you. All the very best to you. Love from the UK
through a friend of mine, around 45 years ago, in the City of London I was given a wonderful surprise one day. I was reading a lot about Mary, Queen of Scots. My friend was well known to the curator at the Guildhall Museum and once lunch time he said, get our coat. we are going somehwere you will find intersting. In we went to a privarte viewing of items belonging to the Queen and which were owned hy the museum. The first items out were sets of playing cards. They were much larer than outr present day decks - slimmer but taller. They were of course all hand painted and very ornate However, the deck was just like ours when it came to the suits. #as an aside other things I saw included a timepiece of the Scottish Queen. It was silver and hung on a long chain to hang from her belt. It opened and had a skull inside it. allegorical about something I now cannot recall. so. yes.. playing cards from Jane Austen's time, much much later than those of Mary Queen of Scots from the 16th Century wouldhave been recognisable as ours but by then I would expect them to have been more mass produced perhaps.
Being a Scot and denied a general education of our royal past due to English history being foisted on all of us, I would have loved to have seen that. They say she was quite tall for her generation and I always imagine her nice looking. Probably just heresay!
There are two houses in Chawton with connections to Jane Austen. There is this one and a few hundred yards along the road next to the village church is the Tudor "big house" (Chawton House) where her brother lived. Jane was a frequent visitor and the house and gardens influenced her novels. A visit to Chawton is incomplete if both houses are not visited! There is a lot of grass in the grounds.
I lived in a house where 4 rooms were over 1,000 years old. It was part of a pre-norman, house and Richards castle was huge and was owned by a norman one of only 3 Norman castle in England.it was also the first stone castle in the UK. It had been a huge castle but the ruins are very small now.
everyone thinks they would treat a peasant the same as a king/ until you are stood in front of a king, all of a sudden you feel the need to do a slight bow, as you say good morning your majesty, its difficult to explain,
I suppose us brits can take our local history a bit for granted, as for the first 30 plus years of my life I lived just 20 minutes walk away from Jane Austen House at Chawton. I must have walked past it, cycled past it and driven past Jane Austen House hundreds of times yet I can't ever recall going in. Maybe next year I should go take a proper look.
There was no electricity in those days. Anyway, why would you waste electricity when you have a great drying ground? I still dry washing on a line outside on fine days, even though I have I have an electric washer dryer, it makes them smell beautifully fresh Making. Clothes , no sewing machines, then either ( check dates for these ). If you were well off, you could get them made for you by a seamstresses or dress maker. Otherwise, you made them yourself.
The thing that doesn't really come across is the height of the ceilings. The average height was less in the 1800s, so the height of the doors was lower (about 6ft) and as you can somewhat see, the rooms are about the same height as the door (at least on the first floor). When you walk around you are subconsciously ducking, and everything feels smaller (something you find in old pubs too).
Rightly, other commenters have suggested the word 'wistfulness'. The Welsh have an important word 'hiraeth', which you might look up, and the Portuguese have a word with a similar meaning. Rectors and Vicars. Back in the Middle Ages, many monasteries had the 'cure of souls' of parishes, and they would put in a Deputy to actually be in the village, the Latin word for which was 'vicarius'. These 'Vicars' were often poorly paid. In those days, a tenth of agricultural produce was given to the Church - a "tithe'; but the 'great tithe' of wheat and barley was kept by the monastery, the Vicar only getting the 'lesser tithe' of other agricultural produce. After the Reformation, many nobles took over the monasteries, and they still received the great tithe. The clergy of villages not under the care of the monasteries were called 'Rectors', and were usually wealthier. Only in the 20th century were the stipends of the clergy evened out, and 'Rector' is usually now only a traditional title. In the nineteenth century the new parishes in the expanding cities were headed by Vicars. The only instance of the title with real administrative meaning in the Church of England is in a Team Ministry, where the senior clergerson is called the 'Team Rector', and the junior clergy 'Team Vicars'. One of our most wonderful Cathedrals is Winchester Cathedral. As a bonus, there in an aisle, is Jane's grave.
Being left handed was frowned upon and I'm certain she would have been right handed. Left handedness was believed to be a sinister trait (witchcraft etc).
Due to religion I was forced to switch to right hand at age of 8. Training my brain to write and do everything with right hand was agony and I went from fastest writer to the slowest and even had to switch how I write letters since it's different depending on what hand I'm using. To this day I'm confused when asked if im a righty or lefty cause I write with right hand but my brain is confused as I use for example scissors for lefties since right wont do it for me 😔
@@9529jake You should have stood up for yourself. I refused to write with my right hand. People experienced mental breakdowns as a result of being forced to switch.

"The rich man in his castle, The poor man at his gate, God made them high and lowly And ordered their estate. All things bright and beautiful, All creatures great and small, All things wise and wonderful, The Lord God made them all!" That is what you would have been singing in church on a Sunday in the mid-1800s if you had lived in England, Connor!
We allow grass verges to grow, to encourage the wild flowers and insects to flourish, just think how many species of wild flowers would be lost over time if everyone mowed the grass on low cut all the time.. remember back in the day livestock used to be moved along these roads and grazed as they went from field to field..Nature is wonderful, man and technology not so much.
Local councils hardly cut roadside verges nowadays, more to save money than being eco. It can get so long it is a serious hazard trying to turn on to a main road from a side road in Summer.
I have two replica dresses from the era, a ballgown and a day dress. Both are very comfortable. Regency womenwere a lot more active than middle class Victorian women, so the clothing was a lot less restrictive.tge style is also flatteribg to most body shapes
It’s nice to watch a bit of history. But I always have to remind myself these people were very rich! Her brother would have made sure all the ladies in that house were well looked after. To have enough money to live on AND pay for one or two servants, well !!! Until she made money from her books I suppose.
I seem to recall that Jane's death was/may have been from what's known today as Addisons disease?! Anyone seen/heard this before from some other video's?
my cousin, mr gainsbourghs butlers dogsbody says, all portraits look the same these days. because they are painted to an romantic ideal, rather than a true dipiction of the true depiction of person in question lol
