.Exactly. I wanted to learn how the children were treated. Were they sent away to boarding school or home tutored?

I have found most of the titles to be misleading - Can Modern People Survive on WW2 Rations? Could You Make a Living in Medieval London? What Was Life Really Like for a Medieval Peasant? All touch on the topic of WW2 rations/Medieval London trades/What is the definition of a Peasant but none really answer the query of their title.

Now I'm not going to watch it....disappointing

I agree. I have really enjoyed these videos about the great houses of Britain but all the titles have been misleading and that has made it hard to find each video involved in this Series. If it wasn’t for your comment, I would not have realized that this was one of the videos in the series I’ve been enjoying. Regardless of that it really has absolutely nothing to do with its title at all.

@@monl3807 you should still watch it. These are good stories about Britain’s great houses. They are still very interesting. Absolute history seems to have absolutely horrible and misleading titles for their videos. Which is really sad because every time I get past the title I really enjoy the stories.

Tony died ?????

@@ellenamontana1352 I think they mean he isn’t hosting any shows anymore

And install all stainless steel appliances, black marble countertops and art deco furniture. So ugly, so institutional, so boring. Victorian decor is charming and welcoming. You feel like you're in a home not an urban restaurant.

But I've noticed that's kind of a middle class/upper middle class thing to do. For true old money, their homes were done up nice the first time around (like this), by their ancestors that struck it rich, and their future generations don't redo it or renovate a lot, because they'd rather keep the money in the family, as well as be generational wealth to pass on. Most middle class/ upper middle class don't think like that.

​@@broganmckoko Real 1920s-30s art deco furniture and objects are just as worthy of preservation as Victorian things, though, and they can be extremely beautiful. Not all art deco was industrial and clinical in appearance! My heart breaks when people upcycle and paint the beautiful wood veneer in art deco furniture, especially in white chalk paint.

@@myrna_m Agreed. But most of those shows use fake modern art deco stuff that has none of the charm of actual Art Deco things. If one did a place up ACTUAL art deco style I'd love it!

I thought I was the only one who thought this. All the current interior design and even new homes being built are absolutely hideous. It's like they completely lack individuality and charm.

They'll see it as cheap and mass produced like the plastic vintage stuff from the 1950's and 1960's.😆

@@Robynhoodlum if they can even see it because it's probably all going to fall apart and be trashed by then.

Doubt it will exist, most of that stuff is ripped apart in a couple years.

They will probably see a pile of sawdust, "that was the dining room table and these smaller piles were the chairs"

​@@YvonneB520😂😂😂 Sad, but makes for a funny mental image 😂😂😂 And no doubt true...😢

I’m sure the people living in ticky tacky homes today would prefer that over what they could afford back then. Yea maybe people with lots of money could afford homes with characters but that is not the norm. And lots of those with money today have absolutely gorgeous homes

I mostly agree. The only things I would accept for modernizing would be things you actually need like electricity, running water, and heat. (and for me personally internet access but that's because I run an mostly online business) but as far as the actual belongings in the house please keep with the vintage/gothic theme if only out of respect for the heritage of the house. That lino floor though could be done away with cause to me personally that's way to much up-keep for something that looks that ridiculous.

His outfit is fabulous as is his accent.

It sounded like scottish within scottish

Nothing in America comes close!

@@shell1951 they are extremely comparable. I can't seem to find the exact numbers but Biltmore I am fairly sure is much larger and more opulent. The biggest difference is that massive private church. But Biltmore was very much designed cribbing ideas from the European manors and palaces of the time. I have even heard it compared to Versailles. Edit: it actually seems it was meant to be very close to Waddesdon Manor.

@@ColtGColtG yes, the Biltmore is exquisite, you are correct to draw a parallel

Soo cool.

Please don't give up on your health yet!!! I was told so many times that I just had to "deal" with nerve damage, etc., from cancer surgery. After years of wasted life and taking millions of pain pills of every description I finally found another way to live. I know that I don't know you, but you have a chance to go back to your creative baking.... I started eating only non inflammatory foods, losing weight and moving around every day to keep my muscles from complete atrophy. I went off the opiates (against doctors advice), switching to kratom and cbd gummies and tinctures. I take aloe vera pills, turmeric, and other inflammatory fighting pills. It made such a complete difference. I lost over a hundred pounds, was able to get out and start running, and keep from being in constant pain. I still have bad days occasionally, but nothing like before. I wasted ten years of my life just going along with what these "experts" insisted I had to do. I'm 61 years old and running 6 to 8 miles a day, and it helps my physical and mental state. I was so out of shape that it took me over a year to run 3 miles. I thought I couldn't do it, but just kept on, and suddenly, one day I felt GOOD. I am now in better health than I was 30 years ago. I don't have any more side effects from having had to take tons of medications for high blood pressure, high cholesterol, thyroid pills for Hashimoto's thyroiditis, and so on, I was being medicated to my death. Now, I control my own pain management. You have a very good chance to change your life for the better. Look up high protien plant foods and anti inflammatory supplements/vitamins. If it helped me (and my husband who started going along with my health trek when he saw the incredible change for the better...), and I know it can help you. It's not a cure, it's taking away the stuff that's making you sick as much as possible.

I agree with Christine Paris, I’ve been doing the same thing! I feel so much better…

@@darbybell8684 Wow! I'm so glad to hear you say that! I know it can be irritating to hear someone claim to have "fixed" themselves by juicing, or whatever, but all the little changes (like not eating sugar and junk foods), made a huge difference for me, and I had gone to so many specialists that i ended up being referred to the same doctor i had started with two years before! Medicine is a fantastic lifesaver, but sometimes doctors just rubber stamp everyone into the same group over and over, and they can't reccomend supplements that aren't always FDA approved, like kratom. For me though, I think just exercising, eating less and better proteins, fats and no starches like breads, helped me heal a lot. I still have painful days, but it is so much better than it was! The last doctor wanted me to start intensive ketomane treatments, the stuff they use on horses, and after some digging, I found out that he was a business partner of thr guy who opened up the ketomane treatment facility. So I would have been referred to it no matter what I had, or didn't have! That just destroyed what little trust I had....

@@christineparis5607 I’ve been watching Dr Berg and Dr Jason Fung, they are both about Keto and intermittent fasting. I watch them because they suggest vitamins, minerals, herbs and foods that have helped a lot! I stopped pain meds and alcohol, Drs just throw medicine at us without finding the root causes for illness! The first one they give women are anti depressants and it’s down hill from there… I truly believe that most of us have underlying vitamin deficiencies that cause anxiety, depression, fogginess, aches and pain. I’m not rigid keto but what I’ve learned has helped me lose weight and clear up my mind. Keep going, we are on the right track😁👍

It was Queen Consort Mary** who thought that

Because she was ugly!!

Depending on the materials it’s perfectly safe for them to touch everything.

Gloves can reduce one's sense of touch and dexterity, and if they are made of fabric, they can catch on things, so handling old or delicate items with them can result in more damage than bare clean hands. It's less of an issue with nitrile gloves, but cotton gloves have nowadays fallen out of favor in museum collections management.

@@myrna_m Good to know. I've always been told that oils in the hands, yada yada, yada. The difference between the two sites as well. I thought Louis' looked more fragile compared to the well lit, more maintained mansion. But there you have it, I'm an idiot. lol. Thanks for the info.

White gloves are out for old books, do more harm than good

Many of the guano harvesting sites were on uninhabited, unclaimed islands in the middle of the south Atlantic and Pacific, where birds would stop on their way across oceans to find food and mate. The US actually passed a famous law called the Guano Islands Act that allowed US citizens to take possession of these unclaimed islands in the name of the United States, despite them having no permanent population. Some lower class workers probably found slightly better-paying jobs harvesting and shipping the guano, but there were probably very few profit--sharing ventures with native people. I'm sure someone more familiar with this can correct me.

Simply, that would be a resounding no. For some 500 years or more, Europe and the Church, believed and perpetuated the idea that the white race was somehow ordained by God to rule the world. People of color were thought to be infidels and heathens, meant to be conquered and enslaved to the benefit of the superior white race. This was published as the Manifest Destiny.

@@danielclaeys7598 all the riches are gained by invading, stilling… colonialism still exists

If there were natives hanging around the poop when it was taken, did the natives disapprove? They were probably like, Ya man get this shit outta here.

From googling I saw that the government of Peru owned and controlled all the guano for export and it was the principle source of the country’s revenue.

don't think they had heating lol I think they would have had to light the fire place

Right? I aspire to age like her. What a fabulously chic lady.

(Two + 1/2) thousand -> 2500

@@DeCastra That's 25 hundred.

@@123benny4 yep, and also twothousandfivehundred - they are all synonyms of the same thing in other terms 2,5 * 1000 = 2500

@@123benny4 25 hundred written mathematically is 2,500. Two and a half thousand written mathematically is 2,500. They are the same number just being expressed differently in their wording. The number doesn't ever change. I'll use another one of your examples, 250,000. Expressed in words, most people would say "two hundred and fifty thousand". But sometimes you hear this figure referred to as "a quarter of a million". The words are different but they are describing the exact same thing. Does that make sense?

I agree with you … demonizing anyone successful. Sad state of modern life.

Yes.
