Re: Frontier House -- Laura, 15:21:59 07/08/02 Mon
I can't really relate to the English Edwardian experience. The maternal side of my family at that time were the German aristocracy(!)/ upper classes living in Germany, South America and the US. My paternal side were poor crofters in the northwest Highlands of Scotland. My paternal grandmother was a a cleaner all her working life, until she was in her seventies, but as she wasn't born until 1919, she didn't have the same experiences. Following in family tradition, all the summer jobs I've had whilst at university have involved cleaning in industrial kitchens (I'd much rather have had a cushy office job). I think that I would have had more of an idea of what to expect than the two scullery maids that quit in 'Edwardian Country House', having worked in a youth hostel where I had to be up before 6am to make sure the fire in the kitchen was lit because it provided all the hot water for the hostel kitchen.
Of course, I'd never have volunteered to be a scullery maid on 'Edwardian Country House'!
