The Commonwealth of Novaltia.

It is just these kind of mean-spirited and frivolous comments, borne out of a mean-spirited and frivolous modern society, that we want to get away from.

For the good-hearted among you, please have a look at our website and give us a chance.

With best wishes to you all!

Truth be told, Al. Is that this is unrelated to this board entirely. If it were not for a few of the (mean-spirited) members having fun with this idea *cough-scam-cough* It would already be deleted.

As for your "modern society" social laws must be very lax because you, yourself, cannot be bothered to respect our most basic of norms.

In other words, if you plan to spam our site, don't come back with your phony aristocratic pretensions. You are an online spammer and most likely a real world con artist.

Aaaaaah yes the grand old days..........

Mean spirited? I'm not so sure. Accurate in historical detail? Certainly.

Do you remember The Prisoner? The website put me in mind of that. You need a Penny Farthing on that page :yup:

If you think Victorian times were in some way better for people you are seriously and deeply deluded. The 'frivolous' comments we were making
were about the historical conditions of your 'ideal' Victorian culture, it was one that downtrod the common man and brutalised him with subsistance level wages and zero health care.
It was all fine and fluffy if you were an upper middle class 'gentleman' but if you were a woman or of any lower class you were screwed.
So off you go, back to lala land, and tip your bowler hat as you walk the promenade............

Is it some sort of Second Life for Little Britain fans?

That's going a bit far you scoundrel .
If your courage does not stop at your tongue knave find your a second because then it's pistols at dawn Sir Smiley.. pistols at dawn.

Albert going to be a regular on the torrents you think?

Don't think he's that much of a loser.

So live and dress like folks did in the Victorian age, as well as sharing your possessions and money? Thanks but no thanks. :ermm:

Or how about trying to recruit people somewhere other than the internet for your mid-1800's retreat?
