The 1940s House (Complete Series) - Channel 4 (U.K.)

 

This is a very interesting show. I watched it the first time it was on tv. I can relate to much of this as my parents were born just before WW2. I learned so much from them and my grandparents over the years by actually asking questions.  I always had an interest in what previous generations did in everyday life. So I can truly appreciate this show.

If you are paying attention to what is  currently in the media at present world wide, they are pushing no waste of food. There is a push to conserve everything. I have seen this on Facebook adverts by the government in Australia and on tv.  The government is already starting to tell us to prepare for food shortages coming. We have already had the experience with toilet roll. Remember  the shocking behaviour of  people fighting over toilet roll?

So it is wise to pay attention to what is happening at present and take stock of this. Are you aware of the American farmers having to kill thousands of cattle?  I find  animals being destroyed very distressing.

You need to know about this, and there are issues going on in Australia at present too. After our bushfires and the devastating loss of animals as well as forests and homes. It may take us a while to get back on our feet. We need to stop being wasteful and have a look at how to make do with less.

This video may be helpful to those that have never had to experience shortages. It is quite an eye opener. If you find this interesting please look at the 1900's house on YouTube too, boy those were tough days without any luxuries.
