I live in 1912 style house and i've 30yo ;). But I haven't TV, dishwasher machine, ecc.. when I are out my house, i'm a normal Person like all other peoples.
Reynaldo Rivera uhhh idk wut your talking about. There have been many massacres since the forties and 80% men responded to them. For example, chernobyl liquidators risked there lives all to minimize long term damage towards the disaster. I mean if you want to call that not a man, go ahead...
Along with that it's really typical English style living in a country overgrown so much with multiculturalism that even people like John Cleese wonder where the Londoners are in London. So seeing this it almost seems like a last stand for English culture in a previously English country, a situation in which being English in England almost has become an alien thing to do. Multiculturalism destroys the beautiful diversity we had in Europe for so many years by destroying our own cultural identity, and I frankly hate it. Seeing these people just gives hope for the national identity of England to remain English.
Ben now has a male partner and is happy in 2021 living a 1940s life from the other videos on YT. GREAT news all round. Living his best life. FANtastic.
He hasn't changed a bit over the years and I love it. He recently did another interview with a gentleman on here still the same living in his vintage home
I understand that feeling of rejecting certain modern things in my environment. My home reflects a mix between the late 1800s through the 1940s. It's just whatever makes the home environment feel cozy for us. He's right that doing things manually brings you closer to the mechanics of living. We've lost a great deal of that sense with modern innovations. So an eclectic environment that incorporates certain luxuries i.e. toilet, a/c, refrigeration with historical elements is very calming and unique. I love it.
I grew up in this time period in a small town. Not much money but we eat and had clothes and we knew all our neighbors. Back then there usually 3 to 5 kids in a famailie . When out of school doing chores and plenty of play time outside we stayed in shape and healthy. By the time i was 13 had my own paper rout, mowed laws and picked black berries to make spending money. I still had plenty of time to play with friends. Such as baseball at the old sandlot where an old Cathoilic Church once stood by my Greatgandfathers home, maybe later in the day we would go swim in the creek and after supper play hide ad seek or maybe listen to the radio. When i see todays families I am so glad i grew up in the 40s and early 50s.
I'm jealous of you! When my grandmothers talk about their past, they mostly say good things about it, even it was hard, but which eras are not? Being born in the 2000s, the only good thing about this era is that I can get my life extended and can go back in time. But finding old furniture and clothes is not an easy task.
Apart from the crushing austerity and continuing food rationing, you mean? Not to mention all the soldiers back from the war with PTSD. Nostalgia glasses have rose-tinted lenses.
The US had a good time in 1945 morale and victory were at an all time since the 30s and depression. But for Britain they were just starting to recover from bombings and war rationing.
Chris Hall That’s true about the 1930’s and the depression era. It was a very hard time. The Midwest not only was going through the depression but they had the big dust bowl too! They couldn’t grow food to sustain themselves. Many had to give up everything they had to move halfway across the country to get away from the dust!
God Bless Him!!! He recognizes and sees so much that other people can't see!!! And, he's happy in his life, which is more than most people can say in this day and age!!! Great man!!!
I'm more a 50's girl tbh because I feel like the forties are too romanticised, at least by British people, but there was a lot of hardship because of the war. But yeah, I prefer that time to now
My parents have kept a lot of furniture pieces from my grandparents and great-grandparents, over a 100 years old, and we still use them every day. They are the sturdiest things ever, they don't even creak. How can these be compared to the quality and value of Ikea... 🤔🙂
This was my favorite decade. We still had steam locomotives in service, fast sleek passenger trains, amazing steel cars, streamline design and the fascinating years off WW2.
Have you seen 1940s house? It was a show. Library has it. I know it's an idealized idea of the past, but reality wasn't so great, tho there were great things about it.
Yeah it wasn't great for England either what with constant air raids and the blackout. I do feel like the forties is terribly romanticised. SO much of it was just war war war for everybody except maybe America and Australia, lucky devils.
There are a few of these guys on TH-cam, 30s, 40s, 50s. I think they are all a credit and really interesting. I grew up in the 50s and remember much of the furnishings and the era very well.
I love the mid-century, and the clothing in Marvelous Mrs. Maisel. Don't even care about the show, I just gasped when I saw the clothes! Minus maybe the polio and stuff shown in Green Book (great movie).
Amazing, I used to love to listen to my Grandmother talk about the WW2 years in East York, Ontario, Canada. Including black out drills a little bit of rationing, fat drives, hanger drives, etc. Oh and the win the war cookbook! We still use one of the recipes, macaroni with cheese and canned tomatoes. Just love it!
I would love to express my love for the 40’s through fashion. I was anxious that I would be judged (and of course people will judge no matter what) but these kinds of people give me courage that I shouldn’t care about others opinions.
I was cheering all the way until the modern bathroom - get a 40s bathroom! It's not like it's hard to find the right pieces. When I was in my 20s I rented a 1930s house and filled it with 1930s; toaster, washing machine, hoover, furniture, everything; and the bathroom was original. The only 'modern' bits were the 50s fridge and the 70s tv. Good times.
Penny- Elizabeth Neil it's hard to do a old fashion bathroom. It's easier with modern, I do agree with you when it comes to recapture the historical authenticity, some things aren't meant to be recapture lol. I really want to do a 1920s English interior design.
I don't see why it's hard - I could understand if it's the sort of house you want to sell in a few years, but a 'forever home' is different. Even here in Australia you find reclaimed pieces so England should be just as well stocked, even free stuff online. There's nothing about a modern bathroom that the 40s can't provide. You want 1920s, go for it! I'd love to go 1920s in mine (period of the house) but it's a rental. One day I'll have an Edwardian one!
In some places in the world it's actually hard to find the right pieces, but when a time machine will be available, I guess you wouldn't need that because you could travel back in time.
But they are from different eras to the 30s, the fridge and TV. Still, I didn't care much for his modern bathroom, for me I would have tried my best to get repro 40s bathroom suite, even just a classic white one would have looked better with some 40s film posters up framed, and rag rugs, wicker laundry hampers etc.
I agree with the idea of getting closer to people and the community. I also agree that we spend a lot of time engrossed in technology. But the one technology I’m truly grateful for is the washing machine. It makes life easier especially if you have chronic pain like myself and need to conserve a lot of energy to do other things.
Me too! I have some good news: Time machine is mathematically possible, and even many mainstream physicists don't rule this out, we just don't have the technology just yet, but it will be here soon.
So strange... I seem to be afflicted with the same fascination for the 40s -- the music, the styles and all. Cool to know there are others! And Ben so eloquently expresses the attraction of that era.
Again, it's very idealized. See Green Book. And if you're female and your husband left you, you were screwed. You couldn't buy a house or have your own credit. It would be hard to support yourself alone. Not to mention if they were abusive. And things like polio vaccine, which changed the world. It was almost completely eradicated, too. In modern countries.
He's rather like the couple who live in Washington state. They prefer the 1890s to modern day. These young people dress in 1890s clothes, and do not own a car. They are very interesting, just like this young chap.
Old things never die. I heard a funny story. A fella of mine said, that he wanted to buy a 10 something-year-old car, and it was all rotten. 1920-1930s cars are still like new! Who else is waiting for that time machine?
Bawhahah , Did a dna test and found my Grandfathers 3 children from his Secretary at work. He stayed married to my Grans the whole time. People got around more than you know back then. And thought those lies would never see the light of day.
I’m a pinup who if I could live back in the late 1940’s / 50’s it would be a dream come true . I do love modern things from today but I also love love love vintage things clothing , furniture , cars , you name it
Britain was at war from 1939 to 1945. Aside from the bombing of most British cities, there were serious shortages of everything. meat, sugar, butter, clothing, petrol, everything you can think of - and it was strictly rationed, Austerity as it was called lasted well into the 50s This looks more like the late 30s
@@ashleysmith8402 He could've been a factory worker, government official, homeland defense (police/firefighter), or just ineligible for service. And if that town really is that far out of major areas, there's a good chance the war would never really "reach" that part of England. (I'm not trying to be rude or anything, I'm just a WWII historian that loves the same time era.)
I loved listening to my mum talk about the 40s and what it was like during the second world war in Australia. It's amazing how many people have a passion for the vintage lifestyle, myself included
Thank goodness for the touch of humour at the end (.tv, fridge and bathroom.) I was a child in the 1940s ,not an affluent house like this one and believe me it's no joy. Even in the 60s I still boiled nappies and washed by hand. The decor however is wonderful .
I'm seeing more and more people embrace alternate era lifestyles and I love it. I live in a 1858 farmhouse and am restoring it to as close as I can to its era best decision ever. I do have fridges, a washing machine and other electronics as I run a sanctuary so going all out 1800's isn't possible but I'm having fun 😊
same here. If I had the money I'd so redo my house like that. Well, at least my living room because I just painted my kitchen bright yellow and I love it.
Fanstastic. Read about him in the book "Air Raid Shelters of the Second World War" (he happens to be on the cover). Looks like he may have moved, he used to have an Anderson shelter. I am also obsessed with wartime Britain. This is truly amazing, great job Ben!
Just think: The record industry began in the late 1800s with piano rolls then went on to phonographs and started a world wide multii-billion dollar industry that lasted all the way from the 1910s until the advent of high speed internet which absolutely ended it forever. How ironic that technology would end one of the most beautiful inventions of all time.
He seems very normal to me, not eccentric, just enthusiastic about an era in history, and has dedicated himself to it. I'm a fan of 50s Americana and have some 50s style clothes, I like faux leopard coats, red lipstick, blonde waves etc, this era is dull, uninspiring and hostile, especially in the South of England. Fair play to him, he's living a lifestyle that he loves.
Oh my goodness I wish I could dress like that. I suppose as a girl most dresses would be fine but I wouldn't know where to get a hold of them and my mother would probably ridicule me. I'd love to live in a cosy 1940s home and sit with my husband on a late night listening to Frank. Oh God I just relate to him far too much.
Simply awesome and most especially the deco upholstered chairs, which are the most stylish I've ever seen. Pure class. But please, buy a washing machine:-)
It ridiculous to think that machinery and technology has come this far only to do things 400x easier. to believe how far we've come and how things were done back then is amazing.
Nice to see a modern man with some old time class.
Agreed!
When men were still men and acted like it.

Just think: The record industry began in the late 1800s with piano rolls then went on to phonographs and started a world wide multii-billion dollar industry that lasted all the way from the 1910s until the advent of high speed internet which absolutely ended it forever. How ironic that technology would end one of the most beautiful inventions of all time.
I would love to live in that house!
1920s for me. great gatsby is ♡♡♡
what u like about it
Just keep away from the wood alcohol and radium.
Josie Alyvia what u think of the 40s
bill gatsby is better
Bloody Good Video!
So happy for them vibing in their own world
He seems very normal to me, not eccentric, just enthusiastic about an era in history, and has dedicated himself to it. I'm a fan of 50s Americana and have some 50s style clothes, I like faux leopard coats, red lipstick, blonde waves etc, this era is dull, uninspiring and hostile, especially in the South of England. Fair play to him, he's living a lifestyle that he loves.
Im 13 and i dress like him everyday
ScienceWhizz04 do you live in a royal family?or you are just a classy person?🤔🤔
You're so lucky to be able to do that.
Potato Potato Many people dress like that,
Nice, I'm 13 too and I dress Vintage
Oh my goodness I wish I could dress like that. I suppose as a girl most dresses would be fine but I wouldn't know where to get a hold of them and my mother would probably ridicule me. I'd love to live in a cosy 1940s home and sit with my husband on a late night listening to Frank. Oh God I just relate to him far too much.
Pretty cool!!
I could never wash my cloths like that but this is so cool
Awsome! We need more people like him....im so sick of seeing carbon copies everywhere!
Nice! I'd like to sing up for this
Amazing
I want to do the same but have my house as if it's 1967.
Can't say I'm a fan of the 60's. I'm more a 50's girl
Tbh I would relly like to live in this time
Fascinating-like Civil War Re-enactors. I'd like to live in the 1950s for a while
what a sweetheart :)
Simply awesome and most especially the deco upholstered chairs, which are the most stylish I've ever seen. Pure class. But please, buy a washing machine:-)
Love it. Love his coat.
Didn't know they had TH-cam in the 1940s
I wanna live like this
It ridiculous to think that machinery and technology has come this far only to do things 400x easier. to believe how far we've come and how things were done back then is amazing.
My Grandmother's and Grandfather's era....the 40s.....the war.....the post war world.....it was really something.
Wonderful old fashioned values !
what u mean
***** what u like about the old ways
The 40s with the prefabs, the ration books and custard sweetened with either treacle or saccharine.
Now this. This is immersion
Cool! He hooked up! All the power to ya...live like you want to live.
