I was engrossed in the talk from start to finish, old Richard fell on his feet alright

[@marybarratt1473]

Absolutely fascinating.I must get the book. I love social history. A very engaging narrative, fun as well as descriptive. What a fantastic collection of ephemera. So jealous. Thank you, I was totally absorbed in this.

I enjoyed it so much I bought the Kindle edition of the book while the video was still playing. I think I'll enjoy that enormously too.

Great speaker, and a fascinating glimpse into 18th century life.

Interesting point on Georgian pronunciation at 10:00 "twaylet/twilight" for toilet and "brummijam" for Birmingham. Wonder how many other curious oddities of 18thc speech have passed away unrecorded?

[@WIDOW79]

Brummijam is still in use... though I understood that the name for 'Brummies' was a corruption of Brummie gem, meaning the cheap, mass produced metalwork products produced there, also known as 'toys'.

Made Pepy's Diary look boring. Social history is great and that was a real account of life.
