A matter of balance ...

Post by butlersrangers »

Things must get pretty wild, when they hold the annual clog dancing festival in the third-floor Ball Room of the old castle ... (or ring the tower bell)!

Everyone looking out the same side at a sunset or sunrise could have been a problem also.

Besides all that I cannot figure out how their septic tank and drain field would have worked.

FredC - You are not well informed on 'Medieval Plumbing', are you?

There be numerous rules and 'necessary' procedures in place:

"Servants are to empty an equal number of waste buckets, on opposite sides of the castle, by pouring the contents into the sea, as the tide goes out.
This task is to be performed immediately after, and not while, the bell tolls".

"Those in attendance shall not cough, belch, burp, sneeze, laugh heartily or break wind, less one act in harmony with a peer, directly opposite from thee".

It's tough being minor-nobility .... so they say. (It's worse being a servant).

Lots of oppressive structure, entitlements and rules in the 'Old Country'.
It was part of the reason many of our families left, years ago.
Seems like, it's getting to be more and more like the 'Old Country', here!
