(5)There is an old saying in England that you don’t clean windows
(6)This is a line from a novel by Arthur Conan Doyle, author of Sherlock Holmes
(7)It’s hardened with this idiom
(8)It’s quite interesting to look at the background
(9)It was in England in the 19th century
(10)At that time, the smog caused by excessive industrialization was so thick that you couldn’t even see a meter in front of you
(11)The murky air current that met the laminar clouds, which illustrated Britain’s west coast oceanic climate, was heavily pressed against the windows
(12)It was the housekeeper’s job to clean the marks that didn’t clean well, and even if it did, it was the housekeeper’s job to clean the marks that sat down again at lunch that day
(13)Labor during the British Industrial Revolution was called a contribution to social development. But no housekeeper would feel rewarded for cleaning the marks that would come back
(14)Cleaning the windows was the most shunned thing among housekeepers
(15)And the reason for quitting the labor was not surprisingly clear skies, but thicker smog
(16)This case, called the Great London Smog, is not windy
(17)Oh, it’s a blood breeze
(18)The whole area of London is within a stable high pressure zone, forming an inverted layer
(19)The atmospheric circulation in the area has stopped
(20)As a result, London’s atmosphere has a strong acidity of ph-2
(21)It’s estimated that up to 12,000 people died from smog
(22)And in the capital of the United Kingdom, the country where the sun never sets during this period
(23)The sun hasn’t risen yet
(24)The light emitted from the sun about 150 million kilometers away
(25)It took me a few minutes to get to London, but the smog caused me to run
(26)Dunn looked like a new night and came in
(27)The Great Smog told me that the visibility was about 30cm
(28)No matter how clean the window is, it looks like it’s outside
(29)It wasn’t a wonder, it was just himself
(30)No matter how much I clean, I can’t see the scenery out of the window
(31)In that situation, there was no owner cleaning the windows
(32)Conan Doyle struggled with smog, an ordeal that he could overcome
(33)You’re a twitcher who’s completely out of his hands on the bigger Seagre smog
(34)I thought it shows the feeling of despair well
(35)The idiom of not wiping the windows expresses the desperate
(36)It makes sense
(37)Actually, I made it up. I wanted to eat tteokbokki
