KiwiO,

I think some relate to this show more than others. Borne in the UK I really enjoy it because it does remind me of the old days. They have got cars, buildings etc spot on.
About 30 years ago my first wife and I would look at furniture for sale in some of the big old estate houses similar to Downton Abbey and what amazed me was the size of some of these pieces of furniture. China cabinets etc. Just too massive for average size homes. Bringing something back to Canada like that was near impossible except in a container on a ship.

Back in the 1950's(and this is after Downton Abbey period) what struck me about class differences was driving to downtown London in our lowly Morris Oxford and seeing the the number of chauffeur driven Rolls Royces and Bentleys. There are still chauffeur driven cars now but not so many and they don't stand out so much as the old majestic cars.
