As an American I have never gotten to hear from the perspective of a Brit, the things that British people love the most. Today I am excited to continue learning about 22 different things British people love. If you enjoyed the video feel free to leave a comment, like, or subscribe for more!
You need to know, we were more concerned about the tea being dumped in Boston Harbour than the loss of 13 States during the American Revolution.
We are still waiting for reparations for the loss of that tea!
@@B-A-L I think America did pay for the tea. Out of honour 😢
@@lovelybitofbugle219 Not sure there is any evidence for the East India Company being paid for the 90,000 lbs of tea (Which took nearly three hours for more than 100 colonists to empty into Boston Harbour). But your assist to our efforts in WWII have probably wiped that debt clean. 🙂
@@B-A-L😂😂😂😂
Cheering in the pub when something is dropped is usually followed by cries of "Sack the Juggler"
That's the one I know. Followed by a round of applause.
We always did that in the high school cafeteria when someone dropped a tray
Canada
Not just the pub any where food or drink is sold 😂
I live alone and still make a roast dinner every Sunday, it’s tradition 😊
So do I, well most Sundays including shop bought Yorkshire puddings, and Bisto gravy. Yummy
An example of banter between friends: "Tyler, how much compensation were you offered after your latest visit to your barber?"
Unfortunately Tyler won't ever see this - he doesn't read his comments.
Really really good but got too expensive now in Dublin ireland
@@laurielovett8849 Are you suggesting that's where Tyler gets his hair cut????
Obviously NOT ENOUGH... 😅 (and, he doesn't read the comments...) 😢
Eddie "The Eagle" was much loved in continental Europe as well. An underdog superhero.
For those of you that don't know; he was a stunt man, and one of his stunts was competing in ski jumping. He sucked at it, but people loved him, and he became a superstar among continental ski jumping fans :-)
And now he is "Dancing on Ice"
A stunt man - who wore 'coke bottle' glasses. No one doubted his courage.
No mention of being a stunt man in the movie about him with Taron Egerton and Hugh Jackman, he was a plasterers labourer for his dad right up until he started ski jumping. ...wow they really missed out on that fact about Eddie's life for a story line... A stunt man eh 😄👍
They are NOT "odd flavoured" crisps!! Only you think that.
Well actually, there was the guy that he was reacting to that first suggested the flavours were odd.
Eddie the Eagle had never ski jumped in his life but believed he could do it. To practice he would jump ski off the garden shed. He tried to jump at the Calgary Commonwealth Games. This was the games where Jamaica entered the Bob sleigh event, that too was made into a film.
Winter Olympics not Commonwealth games.
@@simonrobbins8357 OOPS, sorry, got confused, it's an age thing!
I was 11 years old, living in Calgary during those Olympics, and I remember Eddie the Eagle very well! He (and the Jamaican bobsled team) were the heroes of the games! I think the whole world was rooting for them!
On the day the twin towers were hit, i was lissoning on the radio. A American tour rep came to my Crepèrie, i talked to her about what had happened. She was shaken and knew she would have to tell her US tourists. I told her to do a very Brittish thing and have a cup of tea before telling them, and that it would help.
The following week she thanked me and said she finaly understood tea, i dont drink tea.
Iv just had fish, chips and mushy peas, im in hospital it was wonderful.
its 5 minutes away 5 mins not to think or to process whats happened/will happen
i live in a village tyler in the northeast of england, its a old mining village, the road through the village, is about a mile long, we have 3 pizza take aways, 3 fish and chip shops, we have a chinese take away, we have indean take away, we have 3 pubs, of which 2 does food, 5 convinience stores, bakers, butchers, cafe, sandwich cafe, 2 doctors surgeries, 6 hair salons, tanning shop, tatoo parlour, travel agent, chemist, tyre repair, 2 car mechanic garages, 3 schools,
thats all in a mile road
I'm sooooooo lucky to be British.
I read a study that showed the average American live 0.9 miles from their nearest store, and 1.7 miles to their 3rd nearest store. It goes up to 3miles/ 6miles in rural areas.
I also grew up in a small village in Cheshire. We had a corner shop, news agents, green grocers, post office, butchers, hairdressers, fish and chip shop, 4 pubs, and a social club. All within half a mile of my house.
Now I live in a semi rural town with 100’s of shops, take aways, restaurants of all descriptions. Within 0.1-2 miles of my house.
@@JarlGrimmToys America is a vast country with massive distances between small rural towns where the majority of the population actually live. Half the American states have a smaller population than Ireland and the majority are significantly bigger than the UK.
There are places in the UK where the nearest corner shop is 20 miles away and the nearest supermarket is 50+ miles away and like much of America these are the sparsely populated parts of the UK.
It's just down to having enough customers in surrounding area to support these businesses.
England has five times the population density of mainland USA (exc Alaska and Hawaii )
It sounds like the places around here too.
@@JarlGrimmToys if your so close to the stores, why does 90% of americans use the car and not walk. I get it if you doing a large shop, i dont see the point, to do a large shop, buying products that have so much stuff in the preserve them, would it not make more sense to walk and by fresher produce, or is there a higher cost to that, i have never been to america, so i dont know
Never had fish and chips? In Britain, that'd be the equivalent of confessing that you'd never had sex. It wouldn't cause any animosity, of course, but it certainly _would_ cause a few eyebrows to be raised!😲😲😲
re Underdogs - disagree with the perspective slightly - we love to see an underdog triumph over the odds, arrogant snots or ideally both, but we also love it when someone goes all out and tries their best even though there may be no realistic chance of winning. Back in the eighties, we had next to no ski facilities, let alone ski jump facilities upon which people could train - and it needed a lot of money to travel to alpine areas so there were very few who could even approach those sports at a professional level unless they were rich - Eddie the Eagle was a very ordinary bloke with an extraordinary ambition - and people loved him for trying and despite being heroically bad at the sport, still persevering and getting to the Olympics - we never expected him to win, and he was a bit of a laughing stock - but gained respect for keeping trying and even holding the British Ski jumping record for a few years. Re making a fuss - we can and do complain. but do so politely and somewhat stubbornly and without raising our voices as we generally despise self-entitled jerks who are rude to staff, barge ahead of queues or who show no consideration for others . Most people are embarrassed by and for others if they are crass, racist, misogynist, virtue-signalling over-pious, excessively loudly patriotic, crudely extremist, boastful or lacking in good manners or taste or empathy - such antics are utterly cringeworthy. We may quietly reprimand them or invite them to leave or tut at them and will stand our ground with dignity, or may simply ignore them until they get the message , but will very rarely shout them down to their faces .
Yup. Things like cheering on Black African nations at the Winter Olympics, or hoping a League Two team will knock out one of the Premiership's top sides in the FA Cup (come on Newport County!)
Eddie the Eagle, there was a film made about him and his struggle. Its hilarious. He came last in his section, but most know who he is, the winner? Its the taking part, not the winning, that counts.
Wasn't amateurs BANNED AFTER. EVERYTHING IS COMMERCIALISED TODAY.Takes the joy out of everything. Everything is about money nowadays.
Not just the Brits love their tea but also other countries in Europe and Asia do.
Americans can create a BIG DRAMA of a small thing and the Brits and other Europeans are more down to earth and play it down when it is not something worth mentioning.
Eddie the Eagle was not only a fan favorite in the UK but also in other European countries. And jumped for joy when he did a great jump.
Yes we do and we LOVE our enthusiasm. Nothing wrong with that unless you're snooty.
In 1996 England hosted the Football European Championships. During the build up 2 commedians known for their football banter teamed up with the Lightning Seeds to realase "Three Lions" A song which includes the refrain "It's coming home, it's coming home, it's coming. Football's coming home" meaning both the Tournament is coming to the country where football was invented and also the belief that we could win the tournament.
The simple refrain became an anthem that is now sung whenever the England Football team play in the World Cup or the European Championships.
And then there's the Pulp Fiction meme with Jules saying "Say, it's coming home one more time" 😆 Love it
My uncle knew the route from Lands End to John O'Groats via every pub on the way.
If someone stopped my dad seeking directions anywhere,Hus opening line was always," Do you want to be directed via Pubs or churches?
lt shows your affinity.😊
Just to confuse you, a ‘chippie’ is also slang for a carpenter…
Yup….
Fish & chips are lush. If u find a good one it will become the go to, esp on a Friday… we are spoiled for choice here in cornwall, and the fish is SO fresh for obvious reasons…
A mate of mine once told me that he'd bumped into an old school friend of ours after not seeing him since we left school. I asked him what he was up to, and he said he was working in a chip shop. I thought that was weird as he had been BRILLIANT at woodwork at school, and I was surprised he hadn't gone into the trade. But after a bit more probing, it turns out that he'd told my mate he was a "chippie", but my mate had no idea that meant he was a carpenter, so assumed he was working in a chip shop! 🤣
If you can take your friend's teasing and making fun of you without getting angry,then it shows how strong your is friendship is
There's a scene in a series called Red Rose. They're all being picked off (murdered) one by one, and one of the lines when they figure it out is 'I'll put the kettle on'
Alright is the English greeting.
Scotland’s version is more terse ~ a clipped ‘Aye’ with a slight rising inflection.
If feeling particularly effusive, the greeting may be accompanied by the slightest nod of the head. But many consider that to be excessive . . .
My friend's brother met a classmate on the seafront in Tenerife when neither of them knew the other was going to be there. They apparently both just reacted to this one in a million coincidence by saying "Right?" as they walked by each other!
Fun fact: Power companies plan ahead for power spikes during 'prime time' TV, for when everyone puts the kettle on during ad breaks.
Eddie the Eagle was the talk off the 88 Winter Olympics in Calgary.
He learned the sport at the Olympics and his competitors were more than happy to give him pointers and motivation.
I'll make a roast dinner any day of the week. Buying the ingredients for a roast dinner has become my mental default if I'm in the supermarket and have either forgotten my shopping list or they don't have what I need for another planned meal.
The routes thing is partly small talk, but it's also because there are usually several different routes to most places.
And if asked, the classic response would be 'oh, if I were you I wouldn't start from here...'
I added a comment on part 1 of how British I was raised as a Canadian and this just reaffirms that. Eddie the eagle was embraced by Calgary in 88. I was there. Thanks again Tyler👍🖖🍻🇨🇦
After giving birth in a UK hospital, they offer the new Mum a slice of buttered toast and a cuppa tea!
I have NEVER heard someone say WAHAY when people drop thing. Iv heard people clap or cheer or say “having a smashing time” if something smashes though.
a brew can also mean a beer here too and some people do just say cuppa and others say cuppa tea, welcome to British slang and it's many meanings
Even the germans loved : Eddie the Eagle 😄
'Football's Coming Home' because soccer (along with rugby) was first codified and extensively played in England (in the 1860s).
Yeah, the tea stereotype is very much accurate, in fact I was surprised to discover kettles aren't a standard kitchen appliance in the States.
I heard they heat water in the microwave. Shock horror!
@@Mummameeks Yeah, so I've heard.
That's why their cups of tea are rubbish.
In 1996 Anthem was Number 1 in The Charts and bemoaned the fact that "30 years have hurt but we never stopped believing" meaning England had not won either of the major Football NATIONS events since 1966 bringing THE WORLD CUP or The European Championships. NOW it is 58 years and counting since we won any major International Tournament for Countries. Older Man here and we love discussing routes like last Saturday. Should I get the Jubilee Line to Shepherds Bush from Waterloo or The Hammersmith and City Tube Line to Shepherds Bush Market or White City and the same for the return journey. There were supposed to be "severe delays" on the tube. There were THREE TRAINS IN 3 MINUTES..😀
Don't forget the Lionesses and the European Cup.
bloody vindaloo song 2
As there were no ski jumps in the UK at the time and Eddie had no money to travel to european ski jumps as much as he wanted, he used to clamp his ski's to the roof rack of a car to simulated the high speeds through the air - He realy was shit - other competitors jumped of the ramp - he kinda dropped off - but everyone was glued to the TV whenever he was jumping at the olympics
I admired him immensely, he worked with what he had. Must say he had courage by the truck load , See the height he jumped off at the games. My hero and I'm Irish
I love a bit of Antiques Roadshow
‘Cuppa’ is a merging of cup of and generally refers to tea but increasingly coffee. Brew would generally refer to tea or coffee, a pint or going for a pint would generally refer to alcohol.
If anything happens good or bad we put the kettle on and make tea. Coffee as well, but tea dominates somewhat. If a bomb dropped or anything crashed happened or a flood etc etc there would be someone setting up a table and putting out cups and boiling a kettle on a camping stove somewhere close by the situation outside and in a church hall or community centre inside and offering tea coffee and biscuits, sandwiches and cakes to the rubble clearers and survivors or evacuated or people who are walking wounded lol.
Seriously, anything and everything is celebrated or made better by someone immediately saying I'll get the kettle on we all need a nice a cup of tea. It is how we handle stress as a nation, and it does work. Because it normalises even the most awful situation to have someone hand you a hot sweet cup of tea among the chaos.
Tea is imported mainly but even during rationing it was felt it was so important we had to keep up the supply no matter how hard it was to get it into the country during a war. So everyone had a tea ration and could also get extra cuppas in cafes and at work. While the volunteer services also had a supply or people gave up their own to ensure people were offered a brew up in the most awful circumstances during the blitz. Nothing easily stops us Brits from getting a kettle on somehow, somewhere, no matter what!
I suspect the States aren't much different in a crisis. Someone will be making coffee and handing out refreshments to workers and displaced people because it's usually the first main consideration to calm people, and provide for their immediate needs, after rescue and medical aid has been assessed. People need food and drinks and comforting everywhere in the world sometimes.
Hi Tyler, more sophisticated meal deals are also available., these would include, for example, a starter, a pre-prepared main course plus a dessert, you can get a meal for 1 or 2 people. They cost around £5 for a single or £10 - £12 for 2people. There are also meal deals that include a bottle of while. We also say cuppa up here in the northern are, the word 'cuppa' implies tea always., believe it or not a hot cup of tea can cool you down in summer, I could explain the mechanism involved another time. In the area I come from we use similar greetings as in the US, the term 'alright' is a bit localised, we don't really use it or 'love' it. Our Fish and Chip dinners (which we have once a week) are good because we have fresh fish, not frozen, as we are surrounded by the sea. By the way, Mexican food is also quite popular here. Me and my friends never, ever, discuss routes, we might mention bad experiences but not routes. The setting up of camps etc is a very minority activity, perhaps 5% of the population at most, I wouldn't say it's a popular 'love'. 'Sunday roasts' are pretty much out of fashion, we just have it occasionally, as do our friends it used to be a real ritual, but no longer weekly. I complain but express it in a polite way rather than taking a 'bull in the china shop' attitude. I once was in a multiplex, the ads ran, but the film never started, everyone just sat there, and I was the only one to take my complaint to the staff and the film started with an apology, most others didn't want to make a fuss.
I'm shocked, Tyler, that you've never had fish n' chips! Visit the East Coast (US), you'll find them!! ...they are all over Canada. Even in Montreal (nowhere near the coast), SO many restaurants serve it.
BBC impartial 😅
I most certainly don't love the BBC.
I like the sewing bee and strictly and Dr Who
Auntie must keep up appearances, but she is really despised at home.
@@araptorofnote5938 my weak brain was about to ask you wtf you on about.
Took three or four reads to realise you were being metaphorical.lol.
You should check out a video by The Museum Guide about strange things in London pubs
you alright, i a passing greeting, for example, takig your dog for a walk, pass a stranger, you will say you alright, and carry on your way, its like saying morning, or afternoon, its a friendly gesture,
im from the north east, we might ad your alright love, or lovey or pet depending on age, if its male, you may say budd
Go into a pub and ask directions. Four people will give you six different routes. One will say '' you can't get there from 'ere, mate!'
Yes, I was driving my family to a smaller town on the coast of Wales many years ago. I stopped outside a pub and asked an old guy drinking at the outdoor bench if my destination was far. "Oh no," he replied in a strong accent. "It's just around the bend." As I was leaving, his fellow drinker put his beer down on the tressle table and added, "Ah, but he didn't tell you which bend, yes?" 🙄
Fish and chips is available everywhere I've been in the States. Has Tyler not seen anything in his own country?
12:10 my little town in east anglia has 8 fish and chips shops, 5 curry shops, 5 Chinese/Asian restaurants and unlimited pizza and kebab houses (one of the fish and chips shop is also one of the Chinese shops so you can get both lol)
Chips with Chinese curry sauce is the best in my opinion
He got to be in the.Olympics ski jumping because we didn't have a team so he did a thing where he was the only entrant thus winning by being the only applicant. A good way of getting to represent your country as an Olympic athlete....!!
I live on the border of North Yorkshire and South Durham and all my family and friends say cuppa or cup of tea Never a Brew.
I live in the Midlands, we mash tea 😊 I had a new clerk in the office ,her first day I asked her to mash. Poor girl hadn't a clue what I was talking about.
Tea was a soothing drink for my oldies. Cured all ails.
I remember going clubbing in Aberdeen. Leaving at 2 am and you could see where the Chippie shops were because everything was closed except the places with the block long queues.
Perhaps because we are part of the British Commonwealth, a lot of these things are known to Canadians. Fish and Chips is a typical Friday meal as biblically one shouldn't eat meat on Friday. Fish and Chips are the go-to for non fish lovers. I believe the "Sunday Roast" is really just a big family dinner. The family always gets together for Sunday dinner. They may be running around all week on different schedules not eating together, but getting together for a Sunday meal is important... as it should be. We use the term "cuppa" in Canada but I think it could also be coffee. We just say cuppa instead of saying tea or coffee because one may prefer one over the other. Tea in Britain is also an afternoon "snack". High Tea, or Tea Time is typically 4pm, with dinner being later like 7 or 8.
How can fish and chips be the go to for "non fish lovers"?
@@MrChristbait It's about the batter. The batter is so thick it kind of masks the fishy taste of the fish. If you go to order fish and chips on Good Friday (here in Canada anyway) expect to have a 2-3 hour wait.
@@MrChristbaitalso, cod is about the mildest fish there is. If you don't like salmon or tuna, cod (especially when battered) is less offensive. My dad doesn't like most seafood but eats fish and chips.
I'm canadian and I'd never heard the term cuppa until watching videos about Britain. This may be regional as well, as I find that the eastern provinces seem more "British" than the western ones.
@@patriciagallant8133So they have to go and catch the fish!😊
The BBC is the largest and most prolific broadcasting corporation on the planet. They own or sponsor or set up most news casting corporations around the planet.
The BBC also invented the documentary and David Atenburough was the pioneer of documentaries, he helped create the first ever documentaries.
The BBC (also called Austie or the Beeb) is the British national broadcaster, rather like the ABC in the US or the CBC in Canada, the ABC (confusingly) in Australia and the NZBC in New Zealand. It is supposed to be impartial, but many people these days don't think it is. All Brits who own a TV have to pay an annual TV licence whether or not they watch BBC programmes, so many people are unhappy about that. I think the licence is around £160 a year, so not cheap. The BBC is famous for its news, but also a lot of educational and entertainment programmes, many of which are very popular and have the added advantage of no adverts - hence the licence.
Eddie the Eagle is a little controversial. Personally I think he's great because he had a go, despite not being very good and I think that that is the true Olympic spirit. Others just think he's a national embarrassment, but they are the ones who think that the only reason to play a sport is to win at any cost (rather like a US former president I could but won't name) and tend to suffer from constipation a lot because they are so uptight about everything. Anyway, Eddie was eventually banned from competing on the British team which I think was disgraceful. I get that Olympic Committees want their team members to win medals, but it is supposed to be the taking part that counts, not the medal tally at the end.
>also called Austie< Is that a typo? Should it be Auntie?
@@robcrossgrove7927 You beat me to it
3 quid a week for multiple TV channels Radio Channels ; The world service ; fantastic news reporting ; The Proms nd BBCi player services ... you saying 3 quid isn't cheap ? when a pint of ale costs 4 quid ?
We love the details! That's why we like talking about routes taken and such.
I am a proud Brit, and have in the past corrected rude people who ask Welsh people which whale they are from, or called Scottish people Scotch which is a whisky ! But come the world cup or the 6 nations, my team wears white with a red rose or 3 lions first, and then my support goes to the other home nations, as long as we're not playing each other 😊 i love them all
Every village has at least one Chippy and usually a Chinese or Indian. I live in a small village that has a Chippy, Chinese & Indian. The next village to the west is the same also the northern one, all within a 2-mile radius.
Chippy’s sell fish. Chips, baked potatoes, curry sauce, pasties, pies, sausage rolls, saveloys, battered potato fritter, mushy peas, baked beans and as a dessert battered banana or pineapple, oh yes, don’t forget a buttered bread role for a chip butty.
The BBC are advert free. They are one of the most reliable channels for news (although even they make mistakes occasionally). The BBC also make long running shows like strictly come dancing & the apprentice. They also make some of the best fantasy shows in UK e.g. Merlin, Sherlock, Atlantis & His dark materials (based off Phillip Pullmans books). The royal family also show royal events on BBC.
"Alright" is like "what's up?" (or just "sup".)
Jump up and down and Wave your knickers in the air lolol that song always cracks me up. Long time ago though. Brits love a cheesy song.
Here in Dunlin, my friend an old lady aged 93, has a saying, " If I won the Eurolotto, I'd blacken me arse ,and go running all over the town." Doesn't make sense,but never fails to make me laugh." Close your eyes and imagine it. and keep the dogs in.
Yes, Football's coming home is from the song Three Lions by Baddiel and Skinner (2 UK comedians) and it's about bringing the World Cup back to the UK. Great song, unfortunately it didn't work. And Sunday Roasts are a regular thing, most families will have one every Sunday and they are relatively cheap to prepare and feed a lot of people. They are delicious, most dinners are similar from one family to the next, and we never get sick of them.
The song was written by Lightning Seeds. My favourite song from them is Pure.
Originally released for Euro 96 but a couple of alternative versions have been released for World Cups. If no official re-release is created the original will tend to shoot up the charts again for both tournaments.
@@cthutu Music by the "lightning Seeds" (Ian Brodie), lyrics by Baddiel & Skinner.
"All right?" is very modern. An older equivalent is "How do you do?". The correct response is the same question.
😮 I would say that a lot of British people do _not_ (repeat) _NOT_ enjoy the mangled mispronunciation of
Sir David Attenborough's surname as "Attenburrow" Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!
It's Attenburruh.
Ditto Edinburgh, _
Peterborough, Scarborough, et al... Borough is _NOT_ pronounced as _burrow_ ... A _burrow_ is a tunnel made by rabbuts in a warren.
Borough _is_ pronounced 'Burruh'.
But of course, Tyler Rumple will never know this as he doesn't seem to _ever_ _read_ his comments section, does he - _Do_ _You_ 🇺🇸Tyler Rumple??!!🇺🇸 😢😮
Bit tetchy there @bridgesingleton, Tyler is American after all, so he can't help it. It's a bit like complaining that Brits can't pronounce French, Portuguese, Russian, Finnish, Hungarian, Irish, Chinese, Cambodian, Spanish, ... names. Now I hear you saying, that the Americans also speak English, but do they really? To take another example, how do you pronounce Melbourne, Brisbane and Canberra in Australia, not to mention Exmouth and Albany (both in Western Australia).
@@stephenogier7499 We prefer to say rabbits though.
@@stephenogier7499 Don't tell him how the French call London or what they call Germany!!

Have a good day.
Tea fish and chips,loved everywhere.
KEEP CALM AND DRINK TEA.
Original.🤔
BBC has been around since the beginning of public broadcasting. 18 Oct 1922 so it's over 102 years old . I think they did or still do hold the world's biggest website. With television and radio. And own page on the internet as well
'Brits live for banter' is a bit of a stretch! Also, coffee is now drunk more than tea, in the UK.
Not by me
Yep, I think Coffee now drunk more than Tea, mainly due to all the Costa, Starbucks and Nero shops.
@@tenniskinsella7768Me neither.
Any tragedy it's...."Put the kettle on"
Myth, I'm English and never had tea.

@@rjart4 Thanks.
Cuppa is a corruption of "cup of [tea]",Tyler 🎩
A cuppa is the great English medicine. It cures everything. Where Jewish Americans might go for chicken soup and the Japanese go for miso, the English go for tea. And yes, both tea and fish 'n' chips may be stereotypes but they're loved. I would think it's the same with stereotypes of Americans with pizza and burgers. Fish 'n' chips is very common in a lot of former British countries, such as here in New Zealand and across the ditch in Australia.
Football's coming home usually refers to the world cup, which we last won in 1966. There is great angst that we are not the best at a game that was invented here. But the song is a celebration of the triumph of expectation and hope over the experience of frustration. Search the video "Three Lions 96" by Baddiel, Skinner and he Lightening seeds but DON'T react to it on your channel because copyright
It wasn't invented here, variations of the sport date back to ancient Greece and other places, Britain codified the rules to association football.
Do we have affection for the beeb? NO. Do they make some good programmes? Yes. Every household in the UK has to pay the BBC £160 per year. Failure to pay can result in a very large fine or even imprisonment. It doesn't matter that most of us stream our viewing. It was decided when the Beeb was founded, and they only had radio, everybody had to pay a licence fee to the BBC to listen to their programmes. The cost has gone up through the years and is compulsory. We once used to have to have a dog licence if we had a dog, abolished in the 80s and such a shame as if you really wanted a dog you didn't mind paying. Fish and chips are available in US. There are quite a few singular bars/restaurants that serve your version. Aldi sells boxes of beer battered fish and chips. We do proper batter, it's liquid like Tempura, not just flour. I have to say, my mum made the best batter hands down, but she never passed on the recipe. Since the underdogs, England, won the World Cup in 1966, we have been hoping that we would win a major international trophy again and bring it home. ( I actually worked at Wembley Stadium, and worked at the World Cup and it was awesome. Even met some of team afterwards as my mother had had the FA bar for over 30 years.) I was a barmaid in a pub in the 80s. One night after collecting glasses, I went to go back behind the bar my boss had left the cellar door open, down I went, the bar cheered and asked for an "action replay". I sprained both ankles and my shoulder, but I still worked my shift. We really love our roasts. Nobody makes roasties (potatoes), like us. Yes the World likes to make fun of us but a lot of places owe us, I don't agree with forced religion. 💗💗👵🏴🌹🌹
I don’t mind paying for a TV licence I like watching BBC channels and it doesn’t work out much paid monthly
@Andreaod73 When you only watch occasional programmes it is a con. They pay out huge amounts to people who have more money than they need and the prizes on their quiz shows are a joke. If I watch well made Beeb programmes I can watch them on stream or cable, but I still have to pay the licence and I am an OAP.
@@angeladormer6659 I don't have a licence, and I don't have a TV. They did get me a few years ago when I watched about 3 episodes of a series on i player, so I had to start paying for a licence. But after about 3 months, I told them I didn't have a TV and don't download BBC content. I've not heard a peep from them since.
@@angeladormer6659I've not paid for a TV ❤licence for years, They send me one every year. I'm 85 years old.
I make a Sunday Roast every sunday for me and my Son. Leg of Lamb is my favourite We have a home made curry dish most weeks using up the left over meat from the Sunday roast. and the next day bubble and Squeak which uses up the left over veg from the Sunday roast so the roast is very economical really.
We pay a tv licence for the BBC because there's no adverts - I love my tea I'm a Manc it's law lol 😂
The BBC has no adverts which is why its great. Although it means everyone has to pay around £12 a month for s tv licence. If its value for money is debateable but it does cover a lot including being one of the most trusted news broadcasters because it is well funded & forced to have balance even if some right wingers think its too liberal. Most see it as centrist though.
Never had fish and chips? It’s as popular in Canada…..cannot believe you have never had this….shocked you had never had a shrimp cocktail as well….time to travel.
In UK Prawn (shrimp) Cocktail is a bit 1970's, so 'time travel' would be good. 😊😊
Not all Brits are obsessed with sport, particularly females. I assume the "coming home" phrase refers to the World Cup. They say the same here in Croatia.
I'm a Brit, and i'm not a fan of sport. I am a passive NFL fan I guess, and I'll have rugby on in the background for a bit of background noise, but I don't really enjoy watching sports.
There is something strangely hypnotic about watching snooker late at night though...
I love sport I'm an old lady
Very sporty when young I get really annoyed when women complain about a soap or another programme being taken off because Wimbledon is on. It's once a year.nothing better than a cup of tea on a cold morning warms you up
Difference is you stand a chance of it actually happening 😂😂
Tyler. We basically have 5 terrestrial TV channels, basically BBC 1, BBC 2, ITV, Channel 4, and Channel 5. The BBC channels are totally ad free, no commercial breaks but funded by a TV Licence (£159 per year), ITV Channels 4 & 5 are all commercial channels, they have Ad breaks but ads here are regulated.
The Licence fee pays for BBC, TV, Radio, again all ad free. This also covers money for transmission equipment for all channels. We are now digital TV only so get approx. 50 channels both regular and HD. Obviously satellite and cable are also available, for fees.
The BBC is affectionately known as Auntie.
up till 1955 there was only ONE TV channel in UK the BBC then the ITV channel started, now during this period radio dramas and series were still immensely popular listeners in the millions the BBC were so worried about the opening of a rival channel they tried to sabotage it by killing of the major character in their long running radio series Mrs Dale's Diary thinking their "loyal fans' would be so shocked they wouldn't tune in for the opening programmes guess what it didn't work, totally backfired
Not Mrs Dales Diary, it was the Archers, she died in a fire trying to rescue horses or livestock I believe. The nation was in mourning!
@shaunfarrell3834 well pardon me I never listened and I'm having increasing Silver moments
@@misolgit69 join the club!
20:03 look up a Carvery!
I have sunday roast twice a week, mainly because my wife is plane jane old school, we had it yesterday, probably chinese tonight, and we will have sunday roast on sunday at home, or go out for roast, sometimes is just as cheap to go out for dinner than it is to make it for two, by the time you cook it buy stuff and have the dishes, where i live its a carvary, all you can eat veg, and 3 meats, for 9.99 a head, they also do take away and home delivery for the same price, maybe couple quid for delivery, its only 600 yards up the road
🍁Family Sunday Dinner 🍁 loved here too !!! 👍🏿👍🏽👍🍁🌻💛💙🇺🇦
This is the Three Lions song that he's talking about in the video, ua-cam.com/video/RJqimlFcJsM/v-deo.html , simply put, whenever there's a Euro Cup or World Cup going on, this track gets repeated a lot on the radio and TV until we end up losing, lol! We're desperate to repeat 1966 to take home the World Cup.
Yeah but it is never going to happen unless you STOP importing foreign players into your Premier League teams and give your locals a chance, just like it was in 1966.
@@vtbn53Yeeees.
Always love watching your videos! You’re a breath of fresh air! Sending love all the way from uk 🇬🇧
Some people have a roast every Sunday, some people only have it occasionally. My family only has then occasional Sunday roast. But Iv know people who have it every week.
Another great reaction! You’re guess about these things are normally on point. Enjoyable watch
Ah the Sunday roast.. growing up, yeah mums was the best. Till I became old enough to cook then I realised what moist meat was like! (Sorry mum!). But to be honest, I haven’t had a Sunday roast in at least 15 years. It got so boring having it each week. Haven’t missed it either!
18:00 defoe yes to supporting businesses abroad
It's not merely Brits staking their places on football 'holidays'; it's most European fans. When we have a European Championship (every four years), the fans can get troublesome and obnoxious, and the Competition is usually hosted by one country (this year it's Germany). Brits on holiday in the Mediterranean have colonised certain towns and areas - those of us in the know, know which ones to avoid: e.g. Magaluf, Benidorm (Spain), Ayia Napa (Cyprus), Kavos and Mykonos (Greece)..........
Definitely agree with taking over holiday towns in other countries. Some towns are famous in England that groups of brits flock to every year. There are even towns and businesses that rely on the brits hpliday migrations to keep their businesses afloat during the slow season 😊 but most brits arent going there for the culture or the history, theyre going to be in the sun and get drunk! 😅
Taking over the bars etc is what every country does during the world cup!
It's not a Brit thing! Silly to even mention it!
Also, many countries are given a corner/bar etc to stay at which makes sense to contain all the fans from around the world!
The BBC is often referred to as "Auntie" by many Brits. A recent survey showed that over 90 percent of UK residents over the age of 10 watched the BBC each week. In 2021, the global daily viewing and listening figures for BBC tv, radio, and digital averaged almost 450 million. The oldest broadcasting organisation on Earth, it was founded in 1922. BBC News is available in over 200 countries and in over 50 languages today.
Not quite the oldest - but oldest of the big national ones. There are a handful of small local radio stations around the world still going that are older.
Do they pay the licence fee or only UK residents?
A famous Liverpool football manager of years gone by Bill Shankley is quoted as saying” Some people think football is a matter of life and death they’re wrong it’s much more important than that”
The BBC is very old (since 1922), very large and - some would say - unwieldy. What makes it unique is that it has never had commercials. Brits grow up with its children's programmes (almost all very good, even today) and everyone has their favourite programme, personality or moment. This uniqueness has waned considerably, of course, over the last 20-30 years. Also, to watch any TV in the UK, you must, by law, pay for a TV licence (currently £169.50 per annum).
You only need a TV licence if you watch LIVE TV. If you don't watch live TV and just use apps such as Netflix, Disney+ or catch up services like MY5, CH4, ITVX (STV player) UKTV play and alike then you don't actually need a TV licence. Although if you use BBC iPlayer, then you do. I stopped paying my TV licence as I don't generally watch live TV, I'm usually just using Netflix and Ch4, STV Player and UA-cam or an app on my phone for movies that I ping to my TV (screen mirror).
Saving that £170 a year is great. I don't need to watch a TV show on live TV, I can just use apps to catch up or wai for the full series to air on TV and then binge it on catch up. I know quite a few people who do this now and don't pay for a licence. Over time, I think more n more people will start to do the same. The TV licence and BBC funding need to be reviewed in my view.
roast on every 2nd or tird sunday here - although we go out a few times a month also for a pub carvery roast also
Tea is More a Ritual, its 5 mins away from the problem, the issue, having a fight you need to calm down, 5 mins away makes a cup
We are fairly reserved, so conversations which are too personal can make us uncomfortable. So the small talk topics are not to avoid silences - they are to avoid prying into the private lives of strangers for fear of causing offence.
Hey mate, since you asked about the BBC. I recommend checking out some clips from BBC's children in need ❤
BBC is he oldest television broadcasting company in the world. Just for the record, I'm a coffee-addict ! Deep fried Mars bar originated in Glasgow. The Chinese take out menu came from America and the Indian from Britain. Strange thing about Brits compared to Americans with roads etc is that Brits will rarely mention the points of the compass and Americans always will.
13:40 there's two big international tournaments that the England football ⚽️ team participate in - the European championships and the World Cup. England men haven't won either since 1996. England women however are the current European champions and got to the last World Cup final, so if you like England wins, follow the ladies instead.😊
This guy does some really good videos
I suspect the thing about discussing routes to and from places has to do with many of us witnessing the closure of many railway lines during the 1960s and/or the subsequent development of the motorway system in the 1970s, which also explains why it might be an older men's thing. Blackpool in Lancashire has long been the premier seaside resort for much of Northern England and Scotland, and many people (around my age, I have to admit - and I'm 60 this year), will have made an annual summer pilgrimage there with their families for at least part of that time. Now I can remember as quite a small child, when there was no motorway north of Preston in Lancashire and that journey involved driving through all the town and city centres en route, almost exclusively on single-carriageway trunk routes with all manner of hold-ups caused by all sorts of traffic; and the journey was usually done in about 20 hours, with an overnight stop at one of the numerous Bed & Breakfasts that then existed in all the villages and even farmhouses along much of the way - and the same journey now takes around 3.5 hours on the completed motorways...!! Also, there is basically two possible routes from Central Scotland to London, with a few additional cut-offs, that are still the subject of debate according to what kind of vehicle you're driving and what the weather is doing, of course!

damned Beeching..
The BBC is the reason British people have to pay every year for having a TV.
Only if you're stupid enough to actually pay it
You have to pay if u watch ‘live’ channels. For example even watching ‘Sky News Live’ on UA-cam would require a tv licence.
If you only watch shows on demand, like Netflix, then u don’t need one.
I’ll add that the majority of income from the TV licence not only goes towards the various BBC channels on tv; but also covers local channels, as well as, local and national radio.
Therefore, if u listen to any of the BBC-run radio stations, you are also technically required to pay the tv licence.
@@NK-bj8li they did try to change it to "if you have any equipment capable of receiving..." but ppl threw up a stink about that one...
I have a TV but I only use it for gaming and retouching pictures for work. I don't watch TV live or otherwise at all. BBC need to keep their grubby little mits of the stuff I need for work.
Having to pay the BBC to watch not the BBC things
In Ireland, we have fish and chips by the sea too. But we don't say "chippy", we say "chipper". It's funny that a lot of these things apply to Ireland too, but the slang is a bit different. But I do know people who say "cuppa" for "cup of tea" here too.
And personally, I get a Chinese every Saturday night, not Friday.
