....they do things differently there.
- very few people get to be very elderly - if you needed to travel 300 miles, you may well walk the journey - tons of kids everywhere, many of them dying every year. ...really the objective here is to illustrate how insane our current 'normal' is. By contrasting it with the normal for most of human history. Focussing on anytime from the first appearance of Homo Sapiens up to about 1900 AD & the carbon age please. A history you know existed but never saw. ''The World your grandparents were born into has more in common with the World of Julius Caesar than it does with your World'' Alvin Toffler 1970 ...to paraphrase.

Yes, when you think how things used to be done and how things are today it makes you realise how easy we have it. I was getting a tad angst the other day, as boiler wasn"t working, had to wash in cold water, from the tap! Then I thought about my ancestors years ago, they had to go to a well half a mile across fields with a bucket just to get water, then carry a full bucket back through muddy bogland. Imagine doing that in the winter! It made me feel not so bad about my cold wash!

- a family walking through the streets on market day, the parents casually hitting their kids. - couples both being virgins on their wedding night - streets filled with animal manure - most people not knowing what the King/PM/Leaders/Bishops etc actually look like. - Possible Death Sentence = Appendicitis, toothache , wrong religious views, got an unmarried girl preggers, cracking a rude joke about the Royal family. - indifference to animal cruelty & enjoying watching bloodsports.

Eating everything on your plate before you can 'get down'. That sometimes meant being the only person left sitting at the table after everyone had finished.
