For the past few years, Joanne Frances has been living life as if the Second World War has just broken out. The 41-year-old lady has no computer, washing machine, television or car but to ride an 80-year-old pedal bike to work.
The woman, who works as a cleaner, has a lifestyle of the 1940s. She ditches the central heating for coal fires and uses an outside toilet.

But I haven’t entirely given up hope. I mean, I still like to think that I am a pretty good girl. I would have their tea on their table when they came home from work. I’d do their washing and ironing(熨烫). In fact, I’d take care of everything.” The only problem is that most people who want that kind of housewife are either in their 90s.
