    I can really relate to the Meadows family loosing everything when Dad lost his position. The economy hit me hard recently and I had to sell everything. It IS humiliating when you've supported yourself for 30 years and now can't do that. I'm just glad my daughter was already grown and I didn't have to deprive her of anything.

    I love this series so much! I don't live in the UK, but it is defiantly showing me a lesson on not to take anything I have today for granted. In the first episode, I was emotional to think some of the things that all three classes had to endure. Wonderful show, I am enjoying it and learning a great amount about past societies.

    I remember when I was little in the 1970s my mom used one of those old wringer washers when our modern one went out. It came from my Grandfather. We used it till we could afford a new one. My clothes were very clean! That washer cleaned excellent. It was a lot of fun using it at first sending clothes through the wringer etc.. When we got a new washer I realized how lucky we were to just throw the clothes in a modern washer. It was a great experience for me to understand how modern conveniences affect our lives. About prejudices, my husbands family also changed their last name in the 1940s too.

Back in 1900, the toilet was in the backyard & there was gaslight (gas lines are still evident) but by 1914, indoor plumbing was added with a bathtub & sink in the kitchen & a small closet for the toilet.. I'm surprised that there was still no indoor plumbing for working class people in Britain after WWI.

When my dad wasn't working killer shifts, we were re-painting houses & selling them for extra money.

      I used one until the mid 2000s. Hotels still do.

    WWI was obviously a huge economic drain for Britain. The building I live in is also a tenement but got plumbing & electricity long after middle-class dwellings of the same era.

    I think they're going to come in at the time when their parents' generation would have immigrated to Britain, so maybe not until the 50s or 60s.

      This is how I do it. If the eggs are bought cold then in to the fridge they go. If they eggs are bought from like at a farmers market or farm or not refrigerated, unless told otherwise then I wouldn't put them in the fridge. I've also heard that if you take good eggs fresh or refrigerated and rub them in mineral oil they are said to last longer and don't need to be refrigerated.
