re: #283 Eowyn2

Welcome to LGF (I’ve been off line for a few days so pay no attention to the hands of time) and thanks for the link. Mostly everyone stank in the early 1700s. no plumbing, no bathing (can you imagine what Queen Victoria smelled like?) Lots of perfume for the rich and the rest of us unwashed masses had to smell bad.

Erm - hate to be nit-picking, but Queen Victoria was about 150 years later - and they even had the first water closets …
