    Snap! I discovered my great grandfather had been a porter his entire life on the railways too, but the family always said he'd been a station master. Must be a common railway worker myth.

    It's family attitudes that we pick up which have been passed down to us through the generations from so far back that we don't understand the reasons for those attitudes anymore. I think that's what she's talking about. And it certainly does bring history to life for us. People watch things like Downton Abbey etc and imagine that they'd have been in the living room smoking a pipe, when in reality most of us are descended from the scullery maid level.

      In a way, but servants in general left fewer offspring than the average. Our ancestors were more likely to be the tenant farmers bringing in the sheaves.

      Scullery maids had babies for the men upstairs. Lol

      Yes. It's blood memory. Our genetic makeup is affected by what our ancestors went through. For example, all my life, I've had a strong dislike of and fear of institutions of all kinds....schools, doctor's offices, big offices....hospitals....you name it and I'm uncomfortable to the point of panic in them. I had no idea why....then I remembered my Grandmother who used to look after me back in the early 1980s when I was a kid and she was born in 1910 and would tell me of the fear she and her siblings had when growing up of the workhouse. They were very poor and the workhouse was a real fear for them....so maybe that's my fear of big institutional buildings and organisations.

    My family, which emigrated from England around 1883 always had the tradition when serving roast beef. The father would ask "Do you want the Napolean Cut? That's the Boney Part" And everyone would groan. I always wondered how far back that went.

    I’ve got a brother that has barred me from visiting him and his family and the reason? He tells the people in his life that dad was a farmer, I tell people the truth, that he was a farm labourer.

    Have things changed for the better ? We have a quite a few billionaires in contrast to millions on the breadline....one pay day away from penury. No we have not changed. Trickle down economics have never worked. Until we have new enlightenment that truly invests at the bottom end of the social and economic spectrum we will never have a feel good factor. The need is to nurture a young population that can become supremely independent of state and take care of themselves, be fit and healthy and not rely on handouts like food banks. Power remains with the rich thus it has ever been. In context in the 18th century public houses were actively discouraged, the rich were afraid that these "meeting" places would become a meeting of minds were the working poor would plot to overthrow them. In 1827 Mechanics Institutes were formed so workers could educate themselves with the aim of improving their life chances. One day there will be real Socialism.
