        With you on this, only ever known shoes off bar the odd occasion where I’m there for work and will only be a few minutes. I ask of course before traipsing around!

          Sure, there’s the odd occasion to nip in and out with them on but largely everyone is shoes off.

        I used to believe art could be used to gaze into the zeitgeist of their production times.

        Then I realized what you have just said. If someone in the future looks at hollywood productions, they’ll have very wrong ideas about how people live nowadays. Like, it will be comically wrong. You could throw a dice to select a verb from a dictionary and you’d be more correct.

          There’s an idea among foreigners that Americans use Mayo in every meal. It’s because there’s a set prop list for refrigerators in productions that every sitcom uses.

          Another example is the Transatlantic accent. At most, it was just used by actors and public announcers because it was clear and easy to understand. The general public didn’t talk like that.
