But not the married people?
If they liked it they should have put a (smoke) ring on it.

Did the bear still live in the moat or was the bear only in the moat historically. Regardless I am disappointed that there are no pictures of the moat.
Bear was sleeping, it was at night. Only pic I have is this, it was not very impressive but it smelled like a bear lived there.

Thank you I am now contented. Also bears are fucking great I don't care if it was asleep or not.

It was a reaction to the artificial colors that got popular in the 60s.
Then we flipped the script in the 80s, continued in the 90s. Then The Matrix came out and we reinvented black and white clothes, went froggy again.

This was an attempt to emulate the rich, wood-paneled, dark, rich luxury of old money.
Reading Vonnegut's Dead Eye Dick and the top photo is how I pictured his dad's attic.

My new home was built in the 50s and the biggest take away was "whoa, all the rooms are separate!" It's glorious.
Never thought of that! I'm on my PC in the living room, wife is eating behind me at the kitchen table, which surprisingly enough, is in the kitchen. House dob: 2018 Total walls: 4
In the home I grew up in (dob: 1956), those were three separate rooms.

Apparently Cutty Sark is a whiskey, which presumably is what you meant, but the first DDG result is a British naval ship which ... Also kinda makes sense?
Very classy back in the day, très chic.

Also: Spiders. Spider god damned everywhere.
I'm fine with that. Made it a point over the last 30 years to get used to looking at them. I let 'em run the house. Figure if there's enough food for a predator, best let them work for me.
Funny note: My Filipino wife is disappointed we don't have house lizards. Aside from their obvious use, apparently they're lucky.

elimination of wood, cotton, and wool as materials and fast fashion/plastic fashion means that classical fabric (or finish, or furniture) looks have been forced out, so that race-to-the-bottom Chinese goods can replace them.
now you buy a $1900 couch made of cardboard and foam. And every wall is “agreeable gray”.
This is also a response to the 1950s:
And 1960s:
Interesting. The top pic is borderline Art Deco.

I cannot decide whether I'd call my parents classy. I don't think they were deficient in that manner but I'm not sure whether they had a lot, either.

For a while the fashion was shag carpet with a random splotchy pattern in earth tones. Yes, it did a good job of hiding the dirt, but it was too good at that. I can remember hearing the cat throw up in the other room, going in to clean it up and not being able to find it until, after searching for ages, stepping in it.

They used brown everywhere because all the smoking would have eventually made it brown anyway. If they start there they could pretend nothing was wrong.

I remember looking at estate agent photos of my parents home when they first bought it back in the 1980s. It looked very much like this. I remember when I was very young they had a carpet with a similar sort of dead plant motif, I remember crawling along and following the plant stems.
That's just how everybody seemed to decorate things back then, people used to wear a lot of brown as well. Perhaps we all depressed or something
My parents had the exact same upholstery as that couch in the living room growing up.

Ugh, the second link. These goddamn windbreakers... T-T

Yep my grandmother, and parents had all that shit. And everyone smoked. It was no surprise of 15 years of second hand smoke if I didn't become a smoker too. Now 2025 we are all non smokers. Except for my mother she refuses to give it up.

Was it a panda bear or a polar bear?
Internet says: "The area's most famous resident is Medvěd Jiří (George the Bear). He is a black and brown Himalayan bear that lives in the enclosures at the castle's base. His appearances are rare, but his entrances are always sure to cause a stir among visitors."
