Sam Thompson Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 This was filmed a few miles up the road from me.

David E. Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 I thought the recipe for the clay floor was interesting, especially the bulls blood. Also the link with the clogs to tread it down and how all the canals were lined the same way.My house is 300 years old made with bricks from the field across the road, so the bit about firing them was good.

David Einhorn Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 Web site said, "Currently BBC iPlayer TV programmes are available to play in the UK only" So now what? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Thompson Posted December 20, 2009 Author Share Posted December 20, 2009 Sorry, I thought that it worked all over the world. I used to work in a forge with a clay floor, it was great to stand on, warm in winter and springy underfoot. There were two slightly worn patches in the natural positions for ones feet.

David Einhorn Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 If I were to speculate, the reason behind the restriction. The British subjects pay a tax to support BBC TV. .... Well, that does make sense. If we say we are sorry, can we rejoin back with Great Britain? :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank Turley Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 I'm in New Mexico, USA, and some of the homes and shop buildings had clay and beef blood floors in the Spanish Colonial days.http://www.turleyforge.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thomas Dean Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 Well, that does make sense. If we say we are sorry, can we rejoin back with Great Britain? NO!! As much iced tea we drink here in the south it would break us in taxes!! Oh, never mind, that's happening anyway.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irondragon Forge ClayWorks Posted September 24, 2023 Share Posted September 24, 2023 Welcome from the Ozark Mountains. I have to ask, how did you find this 13 year old thread? I watch a lot of the BBC on our satellite TV, love the programing (most of the time). Do you know the difference between Cinderella and British Rugby teams? Answer... Cinderella actually wanted to get to the ball. I can't control the wind, all I can do is adjust my sail’s. Semper Paratus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted September 24, 2023 Share Posted September 24, 2023 Yeah, welcome aboard, glad to have you. If you'll put your general location in the header you'll have a better chance of meeting up with members living within visiting distance. I tried the link and NOPE the Beeb still won't let me watch without joining (maybe?) or moving across the pond and I really enjoyed Shawn the sheep when it was showed here. Off to Amazon Prime I go, I'll report back if I'm not hopelessly trapped! Wish me luck guys! Frosty The Lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
