Don't forget the random Martian attacks, and the Venusian ladies coming over for cultural exchange projects...
Tea would be the state religion, with High Tea being a mandatory daily event.
Steampunks would be referred to as "those boring conservatives". :D

Package holidays? For the working class even, I assume?!? I say, Sir, those unwashed rabble-rousers better take the tween deck on the ether ship, or else!

Well, we´d be discussing the virtues of the Babbage Mk. XXI analytical cogitator aethernet perusal device and it´s inferior competition products... lol

@Malamute: Ah, so "steerage" is the correct term. I was at a loss at what to call "Zwischendeckspassagiere" in The Queen´s (Gawd bless 'er) English.

The fantasy wargamers would be playing SciFi games featuring the internal combustion engine, and the historical gamers would be playing Victorian Science Fact.
