[@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.

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'.

Very interesting lecture.......Richard certainly liked to make notes!

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