Good apart from the "inmates" virtue-signalling

[@angr3819]

Thank you for all of your work and time on some of our real history. Best wishes.

[@SellieM6970]

This is actually very sad, a tale as old as time. 😢 That man throughly broke her heart, many people male and female, have had complete nervous breakdowns over a lover leaving them. It is really no exaggeration.

[@the_birthday_skeleton]

12:17 _"... but to pass to cast, nothing lasts, everything passes."_ that was beautiful, and so succinctly tragic

[@knickd1979]

I like falling asleep to these videos. They’re ghostly and tragic, but it’s all beautiful still. Makes me appreciate my current situation and comforts. Lots suffered to get us where we are today. Excellent Channel!!!!

[@katieshaw4134]

Really sad and terrible, what a horrible time to live in.

[@MrCostas32]

This is one of my favourite youtube channels

[@FactFeast]

That’s Great! Thank you.

[@C4RYB34R]

I appreciate that you take the time to explain antiquated terms such as "trousseau" . your channel is top shelf. Faithful Subscriber & sometime member.

[@FactFeast]

It’s great to know you find the explanations useful. There are a lot of words from the era that are infrequently used nowadays, if at all. Thank you for your support!

[@MegaTrooper555]

Its eye opening to hear these issues be something that has been common for centuries. It is sad, weve come so far but not enough in the same breath.

Humans will always be humans there's no such thing as evolution

[@incominghitdadirt9587]

I'd really like you to do one on the early days of opium in the NE of America. Thank you for keeping me grateful 👍❤️.

[@SadieKay1]

Your voice-over reminds me of good Irish documentaries I saw when I was younger in the 90s. It's so comforting.

[@InglouriousBradsterd]

If you lived back then...you would drink too.

[@PPuffNstuff]

Alcohol was safer than water.

[@angr3819]

Thank you

[@ktm42080]

Very well told, indeed! I saw "workhouse" in the title and believed the story would be about a former employer of mine, but it ended up much better than that. 😁

[@deeppurple883]

No matter the century broken hearts all feel the same. I felt her pain. 💔

[@perlefisker]

Thank you for this very powerful, yet sad story

[@FactFeast]

You're very welcome. I think it’s worth giving a voice to these lives.

[@Joedirt3349]

Excellent video! This channel gets only better

[@FactFeast]

Thanks! 😃

[@helentepper3513]

My hair has also gone grey before its time…what promise!! Poor woman, my god 😢

[@Dsdcain]

Seems even back then it was understood that alcoholism was hereditary. I've known my whole life that was the case, but you can overcome it given a strong reason and the desire to begin recovery. It's no easy feat, believe me I know for a fact. I only say this to mention how much harder it must have been back then without the resources we have available today. I thank my wife for putting up with me all these years. It is a lifesaver.

[@RUNgetToTheChopperGetDOWN]

I think it's also about their own will power too, my dad was a drunk, i only drink on occasions, maybe 3 times a year, I don't like it, hated how it made him, and hated seeing him out of it. I've worked in pubs and clubs, and can't understand the deal about alcohol, I don't get it. My partner is a drinker, so far our children are not interested but they are just entering that age of going out and doing there thing, I'm sure they will at some point but if they end up following footsteps of there dad, or grandad I'll intervine. So far they understand how easy it is to abuse, working in bars helps, they hear stories and see people acting like fools, at the moment they see it as embarrassing, but like I said, they're just coming of that age to go out.

[@Thomas-n4r]

That shit runs in families, like gambling.

[@daynasafranek7807]

Maybe it’s also learned behavior… everyone needs an excuse

[@GreenHeet]

I remember when I was young feeling exactly the way this video mansions. Now I'm older and I just don't feel that way😊 I suppose it is our experience that we can tolerate young love being around

[@whiteonggoy7009]

So very well put together Sir.i applaud you

[@FactFeast]

[@bobcosmic]

Fact Feast does it again bringing us the stark harsh facts about Victorian London.

[@FactFeast]

[@cathylindeboo.9598]

I love your storytelling format!!

[@FactFeast]

Thank you so much! Glad you like it.

[@the.radical.sister]

Outstanding!

[@FactFeast]

Thank you 😊

[@beverlyledbetter4906]

I've been fascinated by this era since Sherlock Holmes and Dickens, though I don't read the latter!😶

[@lindamorrison4285]

Youre voice brings them all back to life, thank you for this .. love listening during the wee small hours 🙏 how fortunate we are today .

[@Paul-ou1rx]

I like the idea of time travel just for the thought that all these people are still alive somewhere.

[@CharlietheWarlock]

You hit me with this vodeo after i bought jack daniels whisky, tell youtube to stop stalking me

[@Vicus_of_Utrecht]

Your sound level is perfect. Thank you, too many channels are way too low.

[@Donathon-qx8kq]

Sadly, this lady is absolutely right about some things

[@victoriadalrymple6497]

So sad that no matter how educated a woman was back then society told them what really mattered was marriage and family. To be an old maid was to be feared. Sad drink because the dangerous escape. Thanks for posting enjoyed this evening

[@naysaynetwork5271]

Its biology. Every species seems to know motherhood is most important except human women.

[@dondamon4669]

How is that sad? If a woman doesn't have kids then what is the point of living? Same as a man! Leaving a legacy is the whole point.

[@RowanWarren78]

​​​​@@dondamon4669I've been happily married for over 22 years. I knew very young that I never wanted children. I married a wonderful man who felt the same way. He's my best friend. I followed my instinct; that inner voice that informs what actions we should take, or just as importantly, not to take. I think you know that not everyone should have children. I am a social worker, and because I don't have children of my own, I can dedicate my time to providing aid to at-risk and deprived youth in my city. That is my legacy.

[@cclyon]

An ancestress of mine was in and out of the workhouse in Cornwall back in this time period. It didn't say in the records why she was in but we can guess.

[@dondamon4669]

The part where she went to far out to sea in woe and couldn't get back is hilarious!! "No end to my sorrows"

[@GreenHeet]

It sounds like they literally punished people for being poor.

[@firecracker187]

Yay Love me some fact feast narration

Thanks for listening!

[@karimcintosh2921]

The movie Gangs of New York is actually based on fact. Google " How the other half live" by Victorian era author Jacob Riis. Also Charles sickens was mortified at the 5 points slum of New york
