It's actually slavery by another name...

What a wonderful video! I've been researching my own ancestors who were in service, and wondering what their lives might have been like. This beautiful presentation gives me some insight...thank you very much!

Thanks for the video. I enjoyed it.

They sound proud and relatively pleased with their lives actually

This was good.It was like actually listening to them.

thanks for that, I have one, and use it to " clean " my carbon steel knives, which keep a better edge on them, plus I like the quality of hand forged knives from Sheffield, and other places which made quality cutlery, who were doing it for hundreds of years, which has near enough disappeared including the knowledge and skill. I wish you had demonstrated it use, instead of " still life " thanks anyway.

wow, this video impressed me, I was imbued with the atmosphere, it would be great if there were more such videos

Some good household tips

I wish i had been to sewerby hall when i could.

So good. Wish this was longer, would be amazing as a whole series. And I’m definitely here bc just started Downton.

sooo adorable when you see little Pickle and Rosie, who is reckoned to be the oldest Humboldt penguin alive, next to each other.... Was funny though when you see people who dont realise Pickle is a baby and see she looks slightly different and keeps away from the others when they bunch up, thinking Pickle is a different species......

Any information on Pingu and Penny (Pikachu's parents)? Were they resident here or somewhere else? Find it funny that on the various pages about celebrating Rosie's 30th, they say she lives with other Humboldt penquins named Pingu, Penny and Dion - even though Dion (father of Rosie's 3 chicks) had already passed, Pikachus's parents presumably have passed considering Pikachu was 20 then (unless by sheer bad luck all 3 of Dion, Pingu and Penny all died during the last year), and they did not even talk about Twinnie, Webster, Flip Flop, Toby or Pikachu herself, I assume Sigsby had not arrived by then either....

Oh my gracious! Toooo cute! 🐧🐧🐧 😀😊🤗 i could watch for hours

Cool video. I wonder if you would allow me to snap a photo from it; I’m writing an encyclopedia on animals. I would love to include a page on the raccoon dog. Please and thank you.

These pengwins are so cute I saw them IRL earlier

Wonderful back ground information

Hard as it was, Butling was a profession, and for all of them, usually, a clean environment, food, a bed with clean sheets and they weren't living in a huge, dangerous city, surrounded by strangers, working in a factory with no safety protections, or God knows where, having little education or prospects.

A hard life being in service. Not much time left for self or recreational activities.

Being in service was equivalent to be an indentured servant. The balance of power was totally in the hands of the aristocracy since they could literally determine if someone in service could even work. Their control went like this.......if you were in service but were being abused, cheated, etc, and desired to change your employment "house", the ONLY way you to leave was to get a letter of recommendation from your current house. If the house refused, you could NO LONGER work in service. This was a serious problem because other areas of employment were even more horrible as to pay, working conditions, and so forth. The public thinks that service workers' life was like that seen in Downton Abbey........very unlikely. Most service workers worked fifteen hours a day without any support system in case of illness. When you became too old to perform, you were unceremoniously turned out the door. The average life expectancy in 1900 in Europe was 43 years of age. Anyone who reached 43 was literally worn out from the working conditions and was glad for death to come. Here is a real example of the wealth that the aristocracy flung around in relationship to how the service workers were paid. In 1900, it was the rage to serve turtle soup at all aristocratic house dinner parties. One turtle produced ONE bowl of soup.....which was merely one of the preliminary dinner courses served. NOW GET THIS.......that ONE turtle that produced one bowl of soup COST the equivalent of the entire ANNUAL wage of the service girl working as a servant in the kitchen. In other words, that one bowl of soup equaled that girl's ANNUAL wage. And to make it more absurd, most of the time, the favored aristocratic dinner attendee would only sample the soup and instead guzzled the wine.

Yikes. He looked 45 not 28.

The amount of hard work and little time off doesn’t equate with the wages, sore aching body’s and quality of life.

I don’t think we understand how important was the use of long handles for cleaning things! We take for granted that we don’t need to be on our hands and knees cleaning things all the time!

To get jobs with more responsibility, and thus higher pay, girls and boys would claim to be older than they truly were. And it seems then as now women try to pretend they are younger in their senior years.

An insight into good old victorian society thank you

no

I wonder what it's like to be so close to your employer and taking care of them I mean you have any kind of relationship with them or are you just like a machine to them???

Sure glad I wasnt born in those days! Long hours, short pay, and hard work.

A well done depiction of servants lives. Certainly shows how hard every one worked!

And what ,if eny ,was the purposes of that.?
