Sometimes I wish I had been born 100 years earlier ~ life was much simpler then.
You posted a letter at 0900 and it was delivered the same afternoon.
Tradesmen gave credit as a matter of course.
Newspapers were published three times a day and tea was served at 3.30 pm.
Trains ran on time (and on rails) and one simply looked up the destination in the timetable, took a horsedrawn cab to Waterloo and bought a first class ticket, got on the train and a man came round to ensure your luggage was stowed safely.
OK Maybe I have watched too many Sherlock Holmes stories on the TV but life was not this complicated back then. You had rubbish ~ you threw it away. You wanted to catch a train, someone took your money and a porter showed you to your seat.
