Watch next a short comedy (in the same spirit to this video), "Americans don't understand English"

A stone is 14 pounds. If you say military time in the UK we won't know what you are going on about. We use either a 12 or 24 hour clock.

Didn't get very far in I'm afraid too merican for me....but a couple of tips flower. 1. We brits don't do bragging and we're not impressed by it. There's a saying here, no one likes a braggard. 2. (I didn't watch it) but living as a guest in another country, then proceeding to rubbish the very language that gave you your language, and it the language of the people around you, your friends and neighbours really isn't respectful or kind and is quite asinine. Oh and the poor people on pimple popper have medical conditions they have no control over, that's why they see a doctor.....its not like being fat which is absolutely under someone's control.

For any Americans on here you will see the average Limey has a foul mouth! Proud of ourselves!!

The NHS is a joke. You get what you pay for, Luv. My wife had uterine cancer. The NHS wait times caused it to go from operable to inoperable as it spread to her lymph system because of the long waits between appointments, tests, consults and surgery. The doctors admitted that's what killed her. You can buy affordable health insurance in the UK that will enable you to get private treatment when NHS wait times are long. Get some now.

Things differ in different parts of both countries. Social protocol in Minnesota is very similar to the British ways, but not in Oklahoma, for instance. And what's done in the North of England differs greatly from southern English ways. What I noticed in America, though, is how much people shake hands. It really makes me feel uncomfortable.

Yorkshire pudding , you can have it as a starter with gravy, your main course with a roast ie beef, chicken etc, or as a desert with golden syrup.

Your accent is changing. I heard it when you said " I was setting everything up!". at the "everything up" you went into a Brit accent slighty. 👍😁

As you will have discovered, the Brits are not generally literal, & surely, the dialogues - either in a domestic or work environment are nuanced; the expectation for a foreign national to adopt such linguistic gymnastics is (also) at variance, & even tho' it can be confusing, I would explain to fellow Brits that tolerance & understanding are key to smooth language transition, be you American, or indeed any other English speaking nationality.... chin up 🙂

Beechams powders work better than the tablets, as they are absorbed quicker. They are a combination of Paracetamol and Aspirin so you need to make sure of any heart medication like blood thinners. They are amazing, but taste revolting and work for loads for ailments.

You can usually gather the giste of a request or saying through the inflection and tone of the speaker.

Taking the piss can also mean that someone is taking advantage of you

What's your fave brand of sunglasses Mandy ? Ray bans ? 😊

No mailbox outside the house like in the US. 😊🇬🇧🇺🇸

It baffles me in the USA the amount of pharmaceutical drugs that are given to under 10 years old . It baffles me how easy it is to get a driving license in the USA , Motor vehicle traffic crashes are a leading cause of death for 15- to 20-year-olds in the US.

i was in america once went to a nightclub but was refused entry,when i asked why they said i wasnt old enough,i thought they were joking and laughed , i said im english/british and im 32 yrs old , i was still refused and told go back to hotel and bring my passport for proof

In 1980, the drinking age in my state was nineteen. I know this because, surprise, I was nineteen in 1980. Yes, that means I am sixty-three. In the 1980's, the federal government said if states wanted federal funds for their roads, they had to raise the drinking age to twenty-one. States, not being idiots about getting federal funds, at that time, raised the drinking age.

I jay walked once after school. My brother surprised my sister and me by coming to pick us up, and, instead of thinking, I stepped into the road, right in front of a pickup truck. As I sailed through the air with the greatest of ease, I said the myself, "Jeanne, you are an idiot." But, hey, it was the week before semester exams and since I already had A's in all my classes, I didn't have to take the exams. One takes bonuses where one finds them. Oh, and I kept my books in the crook of my arm even after landing. My poor sister, however...her books went everywhere! Spent some months in the hospital, some more months on crutches, but ended up just fine.

Looks like you're crossing over to the dark side...... welcome....u forgot to mention how great the weather is 😊

I use enough washing up liquid to produce a small amount of foam: if it starts to disappear, which it usually doesn't because I make sure the dishes are reasonably clean first, then I add a little more WU liquid. I suppose I pre-wash the dishes before washing them.

We all know that Americans like to pretend that they are foreign, but along with the rest of the English speaking world they are British really. It’s not like they are French for example!

We do get"pissed off " too, at least i do. 🤣

Intrestinly this video was on my feed then a plane spotting video and then a Britsh person living in America saying what the American things he can't live without were.

In the UK we have white lines in the middle of the road with yellow lines used to indicate parking or loading restrictions. In the US the yellow lines are in the middle of the road. For single carriageway roads it felt normal for me in the US to have a yellow line in my left (while driving in the right side obviously)! Driving around Houston in the freeways was “fun”. I seem to remember at least 6 lanes in some places, all going in the same direction, with on/off ramps on both the inside (right) or outside (left). Oh and “undertaking” is allowed in Houston and possibly elsewhere with multi-land freeways - it happens on UK motorways but is not allowed in our highway code and you can be pulled up by the traffic police if they spot you and are short of the quota of motoring offences for the month…..allegedly…..

I seem to remember that all the eggs in the states that I saw in supermarkets had white shells. While some sources in the UK produce white shells, UK consumers often prefer brown eggs with some posh brands having a spotted or mottled outside. I’m sure it makes little difference in taste and may relate to the diet of the hens or the environment in which the6 are kept. Free range make offer the hen more choice if food for example.

Re Beechams. There are plenty of generic brands out there that will do the same thing but a lot cheaper

However brits be aware in Germany this is a crime. Here in the Uk the order of priority defined in law is A Pedestrian has precedence , cyclists and motor vehicles must look out . Essentially the motor vehicle person is responsible legally for the safety of others ( reasonably). It’s your job legally to look out of the safety of others.

One of the finest displays of British attitudes is found in cricket. It has changed a lot over the years, but is still the only sport that no matter the score, no matter the momentum, will pause for afternoon tea. If you don't like cricket, but would like to get a feel for it, I recommend an old Australian TV drama called "Bodyline", made in 1984 or thereabouts. It chronicles a British cricket tour of Australia that came quite controversial in the 1930s. Now, that sounds incredibly "niche" and the BBC thought so to. They bought a very condensed version of the show and quietly put it on BBC2, which they often do with shows they don't think will have a wide audience. Everybody loved it - so much that the BBC quickly bought the entire unabridged series and started showing it on BBC1. The boost in interest in cricket was immense, with women especially getting into it. Despite not being a cricket fan myself I loved the series, and since then have been able to appreciate the game. I wouldn't travel or pay big money to go and see game, but if you have nothing to do on a Sunday afternoon, wandering down to sit on the village green and watch a game can be quite pleasant. - it's a very different atmosphere, but I know people who go to baseball games more for the ambience than for the sport. If you can't find the show on iplayer, then UA-cam has it I its entirety

Why can’t the USA just have one set of elections every four years for all the posts?

Is it still not possible to buy a Cuban cigar. In the US. They are the best!

I knew Americans were a bit weird, but BEECHAMS; REALLY!? Cold Yorkshire Pudding with jam or lemon curd, the best; oh, hot Yorkshire Pudding with beef and with onion gravy

Spot on about taking the piss. It IS a sign of affection. We're are polite to people we don't really know or don't really consider to be our friends. Once we accept you as a friend and trust you we start to take the piss. I am quite short and my best friend is pretty tall. EVERY. SINGLE.TIME we go up to the bar of a pub together I say "what're you having?" and he replies "I'll get these. They can't see you." Don't worry, I give as good as I get!

You don't have to have Beechams, just buy the supermarket equivalent, same ingredients

Beecham cold and flu tablets have the same ingredients as the Aldi alternative, for less than £1. You’re paying for the name.

Why do Americans say gotten?!

Yorkshire Pudding. Hot from the oven. Cut open and spread butter on the inside. Then a spoonful of sugar. Eat straight away. Awesome.

Was boiling my kettle when I noticed that there was smoke coming out of the plug and socket. I just turned off the switch. I dread to think what would have happened if I had to pull the plug out from the socket !!

Yorkshire puddings are just made with an egg batter - the same batter as we would use to make pancakes.

The word 'coronated' is so wrong it's laughable. The correct word is 'crowned'. 😊

A constitutional monarch is our failsafe. It was seen in Spain in the 70s, some generals grabbed the parliament building and held the politicians hostage. King Juan Carlos went on TV and ordered loyal army units to retake parliament.

An "English Gentleman" is traditionally defined as a man who is only rude deliberately.

Piss taking is also a past time in Oz and NZ. Check out the 2 DJ’s in NZ talking about nicknames, funniest thing ever!!

she’s one of my favorite freestyle singers i was born 91 much respect you listening to her
