Re: Really ....
described a London Street with a tidal ditch running through it, into which drains and sewers emptied. The ditch contained the only water the people in the street had to drink, and it was ‘the colour of strong green tea’, in fact it was ‘more like watery mud than muddy water’.
So, just like parts of Africa and India today, then.
It's not right that people have to live like that, of course, but it was not worse in 18c Britain.
