But it are those without a conscience that are able to manipulate the crowds in wanting it all cheap and fast, instead of quality, so the good quality things die out, people who care about what they sell you grow poor.. And the customers are all flocked like sheep in massive super stores paying a lot for less quality, rushing in and out, because local shops are simply killed by supermarkets.. There is no community, it's a consumers society we live in.. Because everything is about kapitalism and money.. And the problem is no one had a chance of choosing to go back to local shops, once you tasted the supermarket era.. Because lots of shops did go bankrupt and vanished or simply stopped before they could go bankrupt.. You can't go back if you change your mind, when it's gone.. And the few that never wanted to switch to supermarkets never had a say in it anyway.. They simply had to follow what the masses had decided on.. It's sad to be honest.. And new generations most of the times never got to experience little shops with quality products, so they wouldn't know any better, that's why it's so problematic to go back.. It's a situation where if you try the new thing, the other option dies out and has a very little chance of ever coming back..

I know, that annoyed me in the first episode. I'm a totally amateur home baker, but I know how to make both bread and cake. Neither are exactly rocket science; all you need is an oven that works and the right ingredients. In fact, you don't even need an oven for all recipes; for many kinds of bread and even cakes - Welsh cakes for example, which would probably fit this era -, just a stove-top is needed. A broken oven is no excuse to have no product to sell to your customers.

I kinda wish the shopkeepers got two weeks each time for these! By the end of the first week, especially this one, they’ve really got into the swing of the settings and their shop practices, I want to see more and then it’s over! 😢

What would bring them back better, than a freshly baked bread, made IN THE GOOD OVEN BY THE BAKER, WHO IS TRAINED TO WORK WITH THIS OVEN? It takes lots of time to get used even to a new modern oven,- that's why professionals prefer to work with the machines&tools, which they are used to. So either you give a baker a professional training in working with ancient machines&tools long time in advance,- and get a good bread as a result, which makes shoppers happy to come back to high-street and buy artisian bread,- or you make a circus out of the entire experience, forcing a modern baker to bake in a 100 years old oven, which in addition breaks, as soon as it gets switched on for the fisrt time!

I can answer why there are no butcher shops on the high street anymore. I work as a meat cutter in a grocery store. We're one of the few that actually has a full service meat counter, and there are still customers who appreciate having people who can answer questions about various cuts and products, and like that personal touch. But unfortunately, there is a growing number of the population who would rather just pop in to a store, grab something that prepackaged, and be on their way. It's rather sad that we're all in such a hurry in life that people would rather just grab and go instead of getting proper service.

I can smell a man like that from a mile, I worked in retail and had bosses like him. He most probably bullies or would bully the people who'd work for him (if anyone was THAT desperate to remain to be employed by him) at the same time buying himself golden rimmed glasses and luxury perfumes while paying his employees under the table and with no written contract, and he'd probably not flinch before selling his customers rotten produce from broken fridges and stuff rats nibbled on as long as nobody could prove he did so (true story).

I detest that grocer. Simon, on the other hand, is an angel.

My local butchers used to have a big display of beef cuts like they have in the window. Closed because the shop next door burned down and the butcher took that as a sign to retire. I miss that place.

So the husband gets to go rest at the sea side while the wife stays and works? Plus I don't think I could be underhanded and purposely hurt the progress of someone else's livelihood like the one shop woman. But that's just me. I love this show

lol it’s still like that for many people even now

I so love this series! I keep coming back to watch it. I also love the familiar people in the series, especially the old lady who was so funny and carefree-I want to be like her when I am that age.

Again, another episode of this wonderful show. Thanks so much for continuing on with it!👍💖😘👉

This episode was so fun. Next episode will really be the drama episode, if the previews are anything to go by. I'm not that surprised as war is hard for everyone. I know sometimes I've been in not so great moods because of the pandemic and I have delivery services! I can't imagine the 1940's and the desperation everyone felt.

As someone who absolutly adores baking this made me so happy to se them finaly be able to make and sell their products

I don't understand WHY the bakers don't have a thermometer for their oven. They existed at this time, and there's no reason they shouldn't have one being that their business depends on it

26:15 the lady from Bulgaria is my favourite 😂 🇧🇬❤️

The dressmaker did a beautiful job. That pink dress was so flattering on her.

Absolute History, thanks very much, this is educating, entertaining, inspiring, and indeed fascinating how unique all these videos are and how much effort and time you put into them. Can't wait to watch what's coming next, LOVE.

I am absolutely loving this series I'm finding out so much of how shops were run through the ages brilliant show thank you for these

Bespoke clothing isn’t gone. It’s still around and still only really for the wealthy (unless you can make your own clothing). Hookah tour and commissioned clothing from major fashion houses like Dior, Gucci, Armani, Alexander McQueen, Vivienne Westwood etc. it’s still very much around. In truth we haven’t much progressed we just have different technology.

Caroline is so lovely. She deserved better. In not one episode did they actually let her bake her own bread 😤

This is one of my favorites on this channel 🙌🏽 I look forward to seeing what happens in each era! ☺️

I think the blacksmith and the dress maker should find a RenFest to work in. He could makes stuff like candleabras and that mirror he made for the wedding in Edwardian times and other cool stuff from iron like helmets. The dress lady could take orders for dresses of different time periods , do the measurements and then mail the product to the customers. They could make a nice living. Before I could afford it, there was a guy who made elaborate metal fountains that looked like flowers at the RenFest. He retired before I had a house with a garden I could put one in. I was very disappointed. Bet this guy could handle that.

Thank you for bringing us this series. I love the shows like this!!!

Great work experience for the butcher's son. Getting to know himself.

cant wait to see the next one! This series is so entertaining.

Incredibly fascinating!

Always interesting to me. They talk about how much they sold, not the cost and not how much they net. Prepackaged products drive down the margin by having other companies also having a profit.

Please put all of them on, I love this and turn back time the family ❤❤ thank you so so so so much xx

I love this series!!! THANK YOU😍👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

The community loosely reminds me of present day Ecuador. Our family business consists of selling US clothing/merchandise. This was my life at one point lol.. I would bake sweet bread to gift my customers. This was 2018/19. 35 y.o. Nostalgic.

All these kids are such good sports! Yeah, you go make that money, kid!! You deserve it! What little champs

35:50 - LOL, just use the ages-old technique and LIE to them. Tell them you're giving them a discount from an imaginary higher price and sell them stuff by the normal price. You know, just like shops of all sorts do nowadays during so called "SALE".

I need moar. I could watch this show all day. Absolute History is the best.

YES please keep adding more I need these.

Oh no "What's your favorite meat to eat" - "McDonald's" Poor children.. they miss out on the real flavor of well prepared beef.

I enjoyed this so much
