They should get some stats on the probability of dying of dysentery before reaching one's destination, too.

And finish it - the journey so far seems to be from the yard to the road!

#5Very interesting. But, they meant “genteel” class and not “gentile” class, right?
Edit: I’m finding so many grammatical errors in this piece (“Coaches now were now better sprung”) that spelling errors are hardly surprising.

Yeah, I had a clever rejoinder having something to do with Jewish immigration rates in 1816...and then I read the rest of the article and realized that it was probably one of the less egregious errors in TFA.

This post is a teaser that ends with a call to action to buy their book about stagecoaches.

Bad. Probably really bad. I mean maybe a strong blonde ale, a floral gin, and you’d be ok, but still.
