      I mean, eliminating animal product consumption as much as possible is the most humane thing. But if you're gonna eat meat, wild animals have led much more humane lives than the animals you buy at the grocery store. So hunting/fishing (for food, not trophies) is actually be the most humane meat.

    I deadass expected rabbit's feet tp be stuck in at the end for "decoration". But I guess since this is for servants, they are not worthy of such extravagance.

    Love this series. The background tune is appealing too. In the early 80s, when importers in the USA were getting many of their antiques from England, there was a place in my town called Morecambe Bay Antiques. My place was filled with pieces from there. This series reminds me of my life and youth from those years. Nowadays there's hardly a market for antiques.

I would like to properly appreciate how long the days were for those below stairs and the type of work they all had to do. How were jobs divided? How much were they paid, and how frequently? How many days off a week? how were they treated by those above stairs and by Mrs Crocombe and Mrs Warwick, the butler or other staff?
