I did him at Uni along with Charles Booth who incidently worked with Beatrix Potter on Life and Labour and the People in London.

Ive bought Mary Barton , havent got round to reading it yet.

abdul.I was a chef, plus after having 4 kids I would take charge and organise things.
dont underestimate the working class

housewives are essential, not just for cooking and for bringing up the kids but someone has to keep the place tidy while the men do the proper stuff

you can do the cleaning mg...i hate having to clean...i`ll look after the arc...feed the animals an stuff y'know?

Yes I will tell them what to do.ive seen enough episodes of LOST to know what to do. shelter,fuel,water and food.if there are any injured they must be assessed quickly and put in the shelters first along with the vulnerable ie children elderley pregnany women.

this is the podcast MG

http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00wr9r7

Melvyn Bragg and his guests discuss the far-reaching consequences of the Industrial Revolution.

After more than a century of rapid technological change, and the massive growth of its urban centres, Britain was changed forever. Lifestyles changed as workers moved from agricultural settlements to factory towns: health, housing and labour relations were all affected. But the effects were both social and intellectual, as thinkers originated theories to deal with the new realities of urban living, mass production and a consumer society.

wrong thread lol

no room for any vulnerable, elderly or otherwise passengers in a rebuilding civilisation scenario mg, if we have any elderly preggers people we would have to see to them having an accident at the top of a cliff, or something

we would also need at least 2 barmaids to create a new society though, in the list of essential jobs
