Many americans thank you

I like that idea. I'm an chocolate fiend, but not an ambitious baker. And since it's not baked, it should be possible to make it in small portions, which would suit me very well. I gotta 'ration' my food as well, if for entirely different reasons 😆

Me: Immediately running off to count my clothes.... 😂

I shared a bathtub of water with my mom and sister. And this was in the early 60s. We were young…and what would be considered “poor” today. But I never consider it so. My dad rigged in an old concrete base shower in the basement when I turned 12. Our house was almost 100 years old then.

If the loaf is a she, I feel she should have a name. I want to say Beryl...

Had to laugh at the Fairy Liquid bottle and the spray bottles at the kitchen sink. They didnt have these in the 1940's

I live in a former council house owned by my husband, we can’t modernise it so I’ve embraced the time it as built 1957 . It’s not even half style of 1957 but I embrace our lives exactly as it is and this is why I pay so much attention to your videos

I randomly started crying when she set aside the teddy bear. imagine being a housewife, your husband out at war, and all you have in his stead in bed is an old teddy while you don't even know if your loved one is still alive. my heart goes out to anyone suffering from war, damn

I miss the old time radio stations with classic tunes and light banter between songs. I used to have a portable radio using battery to carry to every room. I liked the AM mono sound from that little radio as my BGM.

I have a family friend who's 101 years old, and she only uses cold cream. Her skin is beautiful, and she looks younger than 101!

😂😂😂

❤❤❤

I love this!! The couple that ownedy home before me were model train enthusiast. In fact, one of my upstairs rooms was the model train room, and he has all the electrical outlets placed accordingly. It was so interesting to see the pictures of the home before they moved out because you could see his handiwork. We still get some of their mail now even three years later including his model train enthusiast magazines. They don't live here locally so I just take them back to the post office but I do peek through them sometimes if I'm being honest lol

I miss those times

What a wonderful video, I've subbed.

🤣😂🤣😂🤣 this made me laugh!

This is so funny 😂

Why do you have a bathroom in your kitchen?

Where did the porriage, bread apple, potatoes, peas, spam etc etc come from? None of that was in your rations and you didn't explain why. Were these other things unlimited quantities or what? Im so confused.

I think that “trad” wifing gets confused with marriage from a biblical stand point where the man is the spiritual head of the household. The Bible entreats the man to cherish and live his wife as himself. The woman’s role is equally important as the center odd the household. We’ve striven to do this for our 39 years of marriage…and I worked because we needed 2 incomes. My husband is the best and is a true partner. Totally respect single moms, my mom was one, and those who need to work.

Take bye

Oh my goodness ,this is hilarious

in the us its the law killing us, money and unsurpassed greed. Stress is killing us and most don't understand it takes very little to live well but shelter is the new food basket over here

During the pandemic I started reading diaries kept by the public during the war for Mass Observation. If you haven't read them I suggest you read the diaries of Nella Last. They were among the few published (Nella Last's War, Nella Last's Peace and Nella Last in the 1950's. Not only are they excellent but a great source of info. I've been enjoying your channel!

Please, let me know if it worked for you.

My dear.... Put a piece of bread in your mouth while preparing onion for the pan.

What?!?! I will need to watch the full. I need to know if it was good!

I always put my cream and sweetener in first not so much for the cup, but then I don't need a spoon to mix it up, it mixes as I pour the tea or coffee 😊 love these kind of way back when videos to see what life was actually like back then

I love the house. Are any of the upstairs windows wide enough for an emergency fire ladder? It's not too expensive and can literally save a life. They fold up under the window on the inside. Keep a waterproof/fireproof case with essential papers beside it just in case.

You don't have whole wheat flour in most shops? No wonder most British people are pale, pasty, and chronically constipated.

My bedtime routine…. Go to bed. Also why did we have to listen to you filing your nails for such an awkward amount of time.

This is a cool time-traveling trip back to my Grandparents' young years. I always wondered how my Grandma Shirley kept up her beauty routine, which she maintained every day until her last decade ❤❤ Great idea for a video, especially considering how much plastic waste and screen time affects us nowadays.

Hilarious 😂

This is so FUN!!!!! Your channel popped up in my suggested videos yesterday. Currently bingeing all your videos 😂😂😂….and Subscribed!! 👍☺️

The biggest con trick of the Blitz was the Blackout. It used darkness to instill fear in the population, because a frightened people us a compliant people. It caused mire deaths in the population than the bombs: more people were killed in teaffic accidents than by bombs. And it was completely pointless. The Germans would have unable to see their targets because of Britains persistent heavy cloud cover.And the Germans did not NEED to see their targets: they used Radio Navigation (" Blind Bombing")to work out when to drop the bombs.

6:10 , what is a walking aid ?

I only have to look at some of the men in my family tree to know that "not too ugly" was the motto of many...

I am so big on hair brushing. Taking time to brush your hair out slowly actually is good for retaining the length of hair, and does spread out the oils.

Tea leaves would have been used more than once.

These are hilarious 😂

Only one door? How do you get to the outhouse, is it , was it for the group of homes/how do you get to your pigeons ?

😂 I love that people were so honest

…a little factual tidbit about 1950’s USA; the highest rate of white, teenage pregnancy, lots of shotgun weddings…

Tip: cook double or triple batches, freeze the extra in individual serving sizes. Now you have wholesome "heat and eat" options for those days when you are exhausted.

Well, they were honest back then. 😂

I told my husband I wanted trad lifestyle. He was pissed one day and barked at me "start my car !" I chuckled "um, no!?"

broad shoulders narrow hips, about a foot taller than me I'm 5 ft, ..this was me in 60's found him had 4 lovely kids, then he went off with my best friend...lol after 27 years of marriage, I got his best years her not so much, ex and I are still friends after 62 years of knowing each other, but she gets cross about that..oh well never mind, got my cats and dog I'm happy as a sand boy...

no one was "overweight" back then. A good provider was important in a man. Women were expected to know how to cook and keep a home- domestic skills . My parents were married in 1950 and it lasted until death.

👏🏾Beautifully said…Love the “attractive rogue” movie still from Wuthering Heights with Juliette Binoche & Ralph Fiennes.😉

Beetlejuice Beetlejuice Beetlejuice 😂😍😁 Very '40sesque
