[QUOTE="primmiemoo, post: 5224088, member: 83588"] Anyone watching Poldark? The Poldark cousins, Ross and Francis, if real [sigh], would have been Yeoman at the boundary with Country Squires. Think the term used was Sqire-een or something very like it. Their respective fathers (brothers) would have been a rung below in terms of connections and education, but would not have been dissimilar in their outlook. Sound, adaptable people who arose from the trials of centuries of religious persecution, Civil War and Cromwell's Commonwealth with a sense of moral duty and a drive to improve the lot of the general population around them. Willing to make themselves poor rather than have those dependent on them suffer. No rose-tinted spectacles required ~ people like them really did exist, and, amazingly, their kind are not extinct. But the culture of late 1970s and all the 1980s erupted. As Granfer would say: Tidn' only the cream that rises. [/QUOTE]
