    Ben Sansum is 35. But he lives in 1946. His clothes, his house, the music he listens to - all come from an era before he was even born. BBC News went to meet Ben at home in Cambridgeshire

      The shitter was invented in the 17/1800s so this house would have a shitter in and out side. Before he moved in the previous owner would of modern it up so that the house would definitely have a shitter upstairs or downstairs or both. Back in the day the shitter was outside in a hut called the shit house.

    I am 83 years old (1939). I remember very well my parent's flat in 1949. Those 10 years were the happiest of my childhood. I understand and salute him for recreating a past that he finds offers peace and contenment.
    It should be noted that between 1939 and 1945, WW2 was in progress. My dad was deaf in one ear and was not accepted for military service. I didn't lose him during the war. Not the case for many other kids of my age. I also had a serious operation back then that could have been avoided if penicillin had been available.
    But the point of the gentleman's exercise is to create an atmosphere of what could have been had the death and distruction of the war had not occurred. So, live your dream my friend. I hope you are still living in your alternate reality.

    Conclusion: No matter how you live your life, it's lovely.

      Justin Young Using Quotation Marks
      The primary function of quotation marks is to set off and represent exact language (either spoken or written) that has come from somebody else. The quotation mark is also used to designate speech acts in fiction and sometimes poetry. Since you will most often use them when working with outside sources, successful use of quotation marks is a practical defense against accidental plagiarism and an excellent practice in academic honesty. The following rules of quotation mark use are the standard in the United States, although it may be of interest that usage rules for this punctuation do vary in other countries.
      The following covers the basic use of quotation marks. For details and exceptions consult the separate sections of this guide.
      Direct Quotations
      Direct quotations involve incorporating another person's exact words into your own writing.
      1. Quotation marks always come in pairs. Do not open a quotation and fail to close it at the end of the quoted material.
      2. Capitalize the first letter of a direct quote when the quoted material is a complete sentence.
      Mr. Johnson, who was working in his field that morning, said, "The alien spaceship appeared right before my own two eyes."
      3. Do not use a capital letter when the quoted material is a fragment or only a piece of the original material's complete sentence.
      Although Mr. Johnson has seen odd happenings on the farm, he stated that the spaceship "certainly takes the cake" when it comes to unexplainable activity.
      4. If a direct quotation is interrupted mid-sentence, do not capitalize the second part of the quotation.
      "I didn't see an actual alien being," Mr. Johnson said, "but I sure wish I had."
      5. In all the examples above, note how the period or comma punctuation always comes before the final quotation mark. It is important to realize also that when you are using MLA or some other form of documentation, this punctuation rule may change.
      When quoting text with a spelling or grammar error, you should transcribe the error exactly in your own text. However, also insert the term sic in italics directly after the mistake, and enclose it in brackets. Sic is from the Latin, and translates to "thus," "so," or "just as that." The word tells the reader that your quote is an exact reproduction of what you found, and the error is not your own.
      Mr. Johnson says of the experience, "It's made me reconsider the existence of extraterestials [sic]."
      6. Quotations are most effective if you use them sparingly and keep them relatively short. Too many quotations in a research paper will get you accused of not producing original thought or material (they may also bore a reader who wants to know primarily what YOU have to say on the subject).
      Indirect Quotations
      Indirect quotations are not exact wordings but rather rephrasings or summaries of another person's words. In this case, it is not necessary to use quotation marks. However, indirect quotations still require proper citations, and you will be committing plagiarism if you fail to do so.
      Mr. Johnson, a local farmer, reported last night that he saw an alien spaceship on his own property.
      Many writers struggle with when to use direct quotations versus indirect quotations. Use the following tips to guide you in your choice.
      Use direct quotations when the source material uses language that is particularly striking or notable. Do not rob such language of its power by altering it.
      Martin Luther King Jr. believed that the end of slavery was important and of great hope to millions of slaves done horribly wrong.
      The above should never stand in for:
      Martin Luther King Jr. said of the Emancipation Proclamation, "This momentous decree came as a great beacon light of hope to millions of Negro slaves who had been seared in the flames of withering injustice."
      Use an indirect quotation (or paraphrase) when you merely need to summarize key incidents or details of the text.
      Use direct quotations when the author you are quoting has coined a term unique to her or his research and relevant within your own paper.
      When to use direct quotes versus indirect quotes is ultimately a choice you'll learn a feeling for with experience. However, always try to have a sense for why you've chosen your quote. In other words, never put quotes in your paper simply because your teacher says, "You must use quotes
