That sounds like a great idea. Let's get rid of all this ridiculously insanitary 'indoor plumbing' nonsense and go back to standpipes and earth closets down the garden path. Ah, those were the days. Brings back vivid memories of childhood visits to my grandparents.

London doesn't have culture, granted it has history but in order for a place to have culture everyone would have to agree on majority of things and how to live morally however England is a place with no rules or agreements amongst it's people it's a land of anything goes, the rest of the world outside the west all have an understanding amongst each other and that understanding births a culture hence why cultures are different in different nations but people in London are a long way from having a mutual agreement, other than the foreigners here in London the actual white Englishmen and women do not have a culture that spreads throughout an entire city yet alone a nation. people always use the term culture loosely and its quite irritating only in the west is history referred to as culture, culture is richer than history because it never dies history is capable of being wiped out but culture will always tell a story of the past present and future

@@fingmoron No it isn’t soulless in the slightest. I’m an American that has been living in the beautiful English countryside for many years now, and have been lucky enough to explore so much of your historic country. There are hundreds upon hundreds of gorgeous old villages, market towns and smaller historic cities; amazing medieval castles, churches and cathedrals; grand stately homes and Manor Houses; ancient sites from the Roman to Neolithic; world class gardens; the most idyllic natural landscapes etc all over England. I’ve easily visited more of your richly historic country than most natives, and have seen just how special and beautiful it is (as have many others such as the original commenter). I mean the English county I live in has over 650 churches built *before* 1485 - and that’s only *one* of the 48 counties that make up England. That’s without also taking note of how well you have managed to preserve your ancient traditions compared to other nations (e.g. the Coronation last month which was mostly unchanged in ritual and liturgy since the 900s). Incredible! You should actually go out and see it for yourself.

I wonder how they look inside
