I'm Today's😢 Turmoil Everywhere in All Countries,I long for the days Jack Speaks so eloquently and Knowledgeable about. He can take you straight back to when things in Life were simpler and to the point of their use! How very lucky you of the 'Empire"were to have this program 28 years. On our Public Television in America ,each state has had their own wonderful Narrators of forgotten history and share their knowledge with us. The sadness will be Great when we no longer have these Unique Historians of All things one can imagine of the Life before Devices and modern conveniences of today's too busy World. I could listen to ( and do!) these programs over and over. Bless you Jack Hargreaves for Caring and Sharing about our Ancestors Work a Day World of not that long ago. ✌️🇺🇲♥️🤍💙🇬🇧

The "days" Jack talks about were full of turmoil. Most people in Britain lived in poverty, health care was for the rich & rudimentary at that. Most babies born ,died by age 5, as did their mothers, often. Most folk died by age 40, worn out. Britain was at war about every ten years, soldiers were recruited from the poor, the lashing of miscreants common in the army & navy. The amount of offenses you could be hanged for or were shipped to Australia were numerous. Steal a loaf of bread or a glove, off to Botany Bay. Decent education of the masses non existent. Only land owners could vote, your master could beat you or rape you with impunity. No pensions for maimed soldiers or old folk. No work? Off to the poor house. Could go on, as my Nan used to say "folk nowdays don't know their born"

@@diabolicalartificer Whatever you need to tell yourself in order to sleep better at night, mate. Ever sind the existence of manking, there have been rough times, but when I last looked, people in jacks time weren't nearly as depressive and didn't nearly have as much mental illnesses as people today. Do you unironically pretend that there isn't r*pe today, and probably even more than in Jacks time? What are you even on to?

[@candide1065]

@@diabolicalartificer Why are you even watching this when the old times were oh so terrible and we should glad to live in a liberal garden eden now? In order to lecture people? Really curious to see what mental gymnastics you come up with.

[@diabolicalartificer]

@@candide1065 So, your reasoning is, I can't or shouldn't be interested in a subject because of the living conditions in the period of history in question, that's specious logic. For background 'I'm a countryman, I was born in 1964, I remember how life was & yes, life was in some ways simpler but I'm also a realist, I try not to fall into the trap of looking at the past through rose tinted glasses. I commented in order to try & balance a common narrative that I read often in these sort of video's, IE that they were the good days, - sunshine lollipops & rainbows everywhere, it wasn't. Life was bloody hard.

[@candide1065]

@@diabolicalartificer Stop putting words in my mouth. Your first reaction/impulse when somebody dared to write about the "good old times" was to immeadiately whine about how bad those times were. Beside that your arguments are just pathetic. We still have poverty, war etc. and we have new problems like the ones you deliberately ignore Nobody said that life back then was sunshine and rainbows. Nobody denies that life was hard. But it still is. You're not balancing anything, you just argue against everything the video presents. So again, why even watching it?

I watch Jack for a dose of sanity long for sixty’s and seventy’s all cow poo now 👍😎

Never underdtood why they dont just make more when theyre down to the last few. A decent carpenter could copy one with ease. No engine to make or castings to make. Thats not allowing for the mordern illness of nostalgia of course.

I wonder what he would think off the modern so called age not much I would think you can keep it 😡

[@SimonBaddeley]

My stepfather's insatiably curiousity as to what's happening in the world would have run ahead of any world-weariness. He said once that the one thing that vexed him about dying (now that so much can be done to relieve the pains) was that he'd never know "what happened".
