    I am an old geezer and I remember back in the day we, as kids, were sent to classes at the Officer’s Club to learn dancing (which I hated) and basic etiquette. Because, god knows, there’s nothing more insufferable than a middle-class snob. My mom and grandmother were something of a walking encyclopedia regarding those rules they were taught as children. I haven’t been to a dinner party in decades where a fish course, you know with its own knife and fork, was served. Some of these rules of etiquette had really practical (for the time) reasons but others left me gobsmacked. I remember one rule my grandmother followed which involved not wearing platinum jewelry before 5pm. WTF?!

      @bilindalaw-morley161 Рік тому +26

      I'm going to guess that platinum, being more expensive was considered "flashier" than gold. I'm a Boomer so might be wrong, but even today a woman doesn't wear showy, obvious jewellry during the day.
      EG the only time you see a royal in a tiara in the daytime, they're getting married, and even the Queen used to just wear a brooch and occasionally a one strand necklace for most daytime events.

      In England, the end of serfdom began with the Peasants' Revolt in 1381. It had largely died out in England by 1500 as a personal status and was fully ended when Elizabeth I freed the last remaining serfs in 1574. 👍

      I guess nobody would notice if everyone smelled equally bad all the time. But they simply lacked hygiene due to lack of opportunity to wash themself often I guess. Maybe clean water was limited/unavailable or at least in the winter half year way too cold and no way to keep yourself warm during and after a bath

      Thank you! I stopped watching when I noticed that, especially at 1:19. That's so late Victorian I had to do some googling to make sure it wasn't Edwardian! There's a big difference between 150 years ago and 400 years ago. I was already skeptical when they opened with "England was the world's first real superpower." I mean Spain and France were nothing to sneeze at, and while the Mongols, the Roman's and the Byzantines didn't go to the New World, they were massive superpowers.

      Well that’s demanding. Just because you watched the video, doesn’t mean you’re entitled to sit there and make demands. Ironic you ask rudely for a video about manners. You’re not his employer. You don’t get to tell him “I like you to make whatever”
      Also people get an ant in their pants just about the Disney movie. A fictional story based on a real person where they had creative library because it’s a movie. Yet people treat it like it a poorly written documentary. Which it isn’t. How bout you make one and you can deal with the crazies that rear their ugly heads?

    Personally I don't think I would have called this a time where England became a super power. Much less the most powerful super power, I mean during the reign of Victoria you could say this. But during the reign of Queen Elizabeth they had a long way to go. I would say that they had started their rise, they finally had started to colonize the new world, and they beat the Spanish armada.
