Broadcaster PBS has a website devoted to “The Manor House”, a gem of a TV series that ran over here in the UK a while ago, sparking plenty of kinky ideas. The site offers a little game called “You in 1905”, explaining that you can “Get a snapshot of your life as it might have been had you been living in Britain 100 years ago. Just enter your gender and your fathers profession.”

My results:

You are a Schoolmaster!

OMG. This is cool. My wildest fantasies fulfilled. Methinks I was born a century too late! And there’s more:

A Snapshot of your life as it might have been in 1905

Education

You go to the local school in the village and then to Durham University. You’re the first person in your family to go to university.

Now that is VERY spooky, as anyone who knows me in real-life will attest.

Living Conditions

You live in a village and employ three domestic servants who live with you: a cook, a maid and a scullery maid. You believe that your wife has better things to do than household chores.

And exceptionally well-behaved servants they would be, at that. Kept firmly in line, so to speak. No shoddy standards in my house, thank you.

Marital Relations
You marry your wife when you’re 25 – she is a friend of your family and goes to the local church.

Far easier than importing them from Ukraine, eh, Haron? (I’ll be in trouble for that from my darling wife when she reads this). (And she was 25 when we married, too!).

World War One

At the outbreak of World War One you feel it’s your duty to join the army as a non-commissioned officer.

Dear readers, I would never stoop to being a non-commissioned officer.

You rise quickly to the rank of company sergeant major. You’re killed in the trenches at Ypres in 1917.

Yikes. That suddenly got sobering.
