Petrol pump nozzle will fit in a diesel intake but diesel pump nozzle will not fit in a petrol intake. So it’s really only diesel vehicle owners who can be caught out.

So true. I live in quite a rural area and know our roads pretty well but, if I drive an unknown rural road and see that SLOW sign I always think 💭 how slow! 🤷

Valerian Root is a better and safer alternative to Melatonin and can be purchased in U.K. Sorry, I disagree with the measuring cups being difficult to get here. They are easily obtained and I have a couple of sets I have had for years. In respect of binders - I agree our standard binders are A4 but if you look for Foolscap sized binders (Amazon or any Stationers) they should fit your paperwork.

Sorry about the litterbugs I sometimes do my part to pick up after people we're trying to be more environmentally aware as a country

Interesting topic. The worry is, the way this British Govt is working, they are trying to destroy our NHS. Scotland is better, but Westminster keep cutting out budget. A lot of our issues are we need to be independent and run out own affairs. Otherwise we will end up like America.

The rubbish issue depends on the local government. We have weekly collections

Your comment about water in the US is generally dark and moldy is wrong..... I don't know where you lived in the US, but Chicago water when I was growing up was awesome, and now in the Atlanta Metro, the water is good, depending on the county you are in. In some counties, they filter the water for some minerals and not others, which can impact the characteristics of the water.

I recycle everything I can, but even I could not go three weeks without trash collection. California has safe drinking water and they also charge for bags.

As a Edinburgh dweller O totally get on the litter issue. I was taught to keep or bin my litter and I did the same with my kids who did the same with their kids. I my grandkids get a treat or snack outside they hand me the wrapping. Sadly I watch Scottish people throw fast food and coffee cups in the gutter when a bin is 2-3 metres away. It was never like this 20 years ago.

'In England, the one thing you have to pay for is prescriptions' And parking. ;)

How easy it is, for some school students to pass a driving test, in some places in the USA. Is terrifying.

You left out how shit pay is in the UK

What was your reason for moving to Scotland from the USA? I am genuinely curious. My wife and I are considering the same move.

Pete, you can buy stick deodorant anywhere in scotland, all the supermarkets supply ,if not big dept stores lots of brands . Im surprised you didn't mention toilet paper . I think they are going to introduce toilet paper soon . Just use fish and chip paper or the daily record until then . What is this thing that is called the telephone and television? I can't wait for that to reach Scotland . Coffee beans online , you are an american. You will be on Amazon 24 hrs a day . I'm just pulling your leg . I'm glad you want to live in Scotland . All the very best. I really enjoyed your video . Big step to move to a new country . Sincerely well done 👏

I was born here but lived abroad for decades then came back and I am SHOCKED at how little they empty the bins here (every 4 weeks where I am).. It drives me mad. Plus it's such a mission to get rid of stuff and they charge too much. Now we have to pay extra for garden grass and debris as an extra tax thing. Appalling.

How to demonstrate your ignorance in one sentence… “they kind of speak English here….”

you forgot to mention public transport in Scotland is free for under 22 and over 60

Temperature to convert is simple, as rule of thumb double and add 30 , for example 25 degrees would by doubled to 50 and then add 30 so it would be 80 . You be out by 1 or 2 degrees .

Hello Peter, what made you move to scotland ? TV license usually if you buy a TV they usually ask for an address which they pass onto the TV license dept . If you don't give an address, then you don't go into their black book . Hope that helps .

If you driving test is in an automatic, then your license is only for automatic. Cars in the UK are in far better condition than in the USA .Second hand car market in the USA is kept artificially high .

First thing you need to realise is.. You are NOT in the USA. The West of Scotland is one of the poorest area of the UK. It isn’t Oxford or Cambridge. I live in Renfrewshire. You are getting a ‘real’ experience of Scotland though, not the Disneyland experience that is Edinburgh and the Highlands.

Right am scottish ave seen pictures a LA n new york wind yer neck in theirs shite everywhere in america fucks sake 1:18

Various factors at play here re rubbish: the Scottish Government has just about broken Scotland and their financial management has been appalling. But it needs to be acknowledged that Scotland has a much lower population than England, and it is spread out meaning delivering council services is more costly. If you are in Glasgow, the rubbish will be due to reduced bin collections as you mentioned, which happened over the last 5 years or so, and it's the same in rural locations too. However in Glasgow one of the main issues is foxes - it's foxes that drag rubbish out of bin and into your garden to eat / lick. They will take rubbish to near their dens and believe me, the dens are everywhere, but particularly along the rail track embankments. And discarded food wrappers from cafe's, takeaways etc are a huge attraction to them to of course! Thirdly wind, again as you say. But lastly, and sadly, people's behaviours have changed - parents seem to have stopped raising their children to not drop litter. And that combined with the proliferation of fats food / take away food rubbish, has meant a steady decline. However having travelled widely across Europe, it's the same there 😒 In respect of water; Scotland does not add fluoride to the water.

Andy murray was one of the children that survived the dunblane massacre

Scottish tap water is hands down the best in the world. Scotland has quite a few natural fresh water lakes.

As a Scots' wannabe, I'm glad to have found your channel. My first school had bagpipes and drums. Scotland The Brave still makes me stand up.

Very easy to understand very informative thank u can u plz real estate video of scotland

However, I wouldn't want to be ill in the USA

Europeans pay a great more tax. A lot of this subsidises the cost of food. In the USA food costs are much more realistic

Where in the USA did you experience bad tapwater? I have lived in St. Louis and Los Angeles, where tapwater is not a problem. All other places where I have traveled seem to have good tapwater also. Yes, I have heard about Flint, Michigan but that was due to mismanagement of the water system.

Go south, you'll witness lots of knife crime.

Corrupt, dishonest, greedy and lazy and mainly left wing councils are to blame for the rubbish bins. But the people of Renfrewshire, Ayrshire and similar voted in these political parties like the SNP, so they're getting what they deserve. They are turkeys that voted for Christmas.

Where do you live? Glasgow? It has become a cesspit of mismanagement. Here in Ayrshire we get our bins collected every week.

You don’t need a car in Chicago, just saying.

What is wrong with the water system where you lived in the US?! You may have had nasty water, but that doesn’t mean the rest of the country does. Water systems are usually a municipal responsibility so each county or city equivalent usually has their own system. Yours may have been gross, but the city/county next door, using the same water source, might have been fine. I’ve lived in 8 different states and never experienced anything like what you talked about. The worst I had to deal with was high chlorine (where I grew up) or new-to-me high mineral content a few other places. I’m glad the drinking water where you are now is good, but maybe folks back home need to work together for a better water system.

Yes there are roads in the UK that have no speed limit but they'll be on private land and not publicly owned highways. Scotland is the most likely place to find them with large estates covering considerable areas. However I can't imagine there's many that are straight enough or have a good enough road surface to be able to drive at high speed.

USA: Lowest rating for Positive Healthcare Outcomes in the developed world. Has never been in the top ten. Highest Infant Mortality. Lowest and declining Life Expectancy, rated 46th in the world. Medical debt and medical bankruptcy simply do not exist in other developed nations.

I’ve been to Scotland 3 times. I thought it was the cleanest place I’ve ever been. However, we did not go to Glasgow.

It’s unfortunate that the carrying of firearms by British Police officers is becoming a more common thing, not only are armed officers, not just with sidearms but carrying things like assault carbines, a common sight at airports and many highly publicised public events but the number of Armed Response Vehicles in British cities is increasing slowly over time.

I'm confused that your saying tap water in U.S. isn't safe and dirty. That's not correct.

If you think Glasgow tap water is good you should try it in Edinburgh 😂 I don't drink tap water when I'm in Glasgow cos it tastes like chlorine compared to what I'm used to. In rural areas (my experience pertains particularly to the Borders and the West Highlands) it's even better

Hi Peter, where are some best places in Scotland to live frugally?

I like almond butter now with jam!

I would be thrilled if I didn’t have to look at the ingredients for “high fructose corn syrup “ in our American food. It’s disgusting when the rest of the world has banned it.

Hi Peter! I live in Edmond Oklahoma and love Scotland! I’ve only been there twice but spent considerable amount of time in Tynemouth England. Glad to know that information about cost of living is very different from what I’ve been told. Would love to retire there but seems like a distant dream. 😢

i'm from musselburgh and have lived there my whole life and i've never heard of the milkman thing! just goes to show how different things can be even in a small country..

another greetingis a slight nod of the head,i cnt see any trash in your vid, if oyu look for trash youll find it

I watched a you tube post about an American going from his home in the country into town and noticed there was rubbish on the verges the whole way, to the extent I asked the question is that standard for America and got several answers in the affirmative, so its not just Scotland you get rubbish by the roadside

Yes, I'm not sure exactly this person lives, but i live near Las Vegas, and we don't have that. Gun violence happen by people who do NOT own guns legally. Criminals will find guns in the boso market. People with a criminal record will not qualify for a permit, to get a firearm. This man is all out if touch. Yes we have many guns, but if you believe what he's saying, you would think we are at war with each other. The USA is a big as Europe, and we have over 335 MILLION people, and at least 20+ MILLION illegals. The liberal, left cities run by the Democrats have more crime, more poverty, higher taxes, more drugs, and more homelessness. Guns truly aren't an issue unless you're running around criminals or one of those cities or states. Some people are just out of touch. Every single person we hang out with legally have guns, and no one at all I know have any issues. What he dies by say though is, that with all the illegals, abd liberal run cities, we do have some crimes, so close to one hundred thousand law abiding citizens who own guns, have used one to save their own life, or that of another person - so mothers shooting a criminal breaking into their home. Also, in the USA, they count police as d soldiers into the list of victims by guns. So please, do your own research abd watch where you're getting your information from. It's amazing on how many people who are out of the gun culture, abd claim to know about it. In sad too hear that a young man got stabbed, but many times, some kids may have issues with drug transaction. More likely he want walking around abd foot stabbed! I would love here if that was the case. I'm sure Scotland is safer, but remember, the USA is not even in the top 10 highest gun violence. Would you believe Denmark is higher than us?!!!

Glasgow was called Razor city.
