and stuff with palm oil
I read something that suggested the alternatives are worse in terms of deforestation required per tonne of product. Could be bollocks of course but could be right.
Lever Bros (Sunlight soap) built the Port Sunlight village to house the workers. The children grew up bigger and healthier, the village was shown as an example to visiting royalty etc.
Though of course you can do something that’s good for you and for your employees. Paralells with the contemporary interest in employee wellbeing.
Overall, I agree that philanthropic industrialists provided far better working and living conditions than was the norm. But I would point out that this was often achieved by exerting a great deal of control over their workers and families.

There was a thing on where some supermarket were looking for a palm oil substitute for their pastry.
The only thing that worked nearly as well was… lard.
That’s fine by me!

So, what colour is the boathouse in Hereford?
Well, that is the question.
I’ve seen William Penn’s father’s grave, I thought it was in Hereford but apparently I’m wrong it’s in Bristol.
Not sure where his grave is, but north of Bath, on the A46, there is the village of Pennsylvania, which I believe is named after William Penn, and from which the American state gets its name.
