@@skaringamer9064 Why? It's only batter mix, just like pancakes. Jam is added whilst the YP is still hot. Delicious.😁 (my mum's Yorkshire born, btw, and she puts jam on them when not with a Roast dinner. She's 87 and a bit frail now, but still cooks from scratch & makes perfect YP. Yum).
Many houses were built long BEFORE washing machines, etc., were invented. So they have to be located where they can be hooked up to electrical and water services.
Many homes do have a utility room. My home has one but the house was enlarged with an extension before I bought it. I think a lot of modern houses are built with utility rooms.
Many houses didn't have a bathroom or kitchen, your living area was a multi use space cooking on the fireplace. Bathing next to the fire too but using the toilet outside!
Electric washing machines were invented in 1908 the majority of homes in the UK are less than 100 years old so no they weren't built long before washing machines. Only around 15% of houses in England were built before 1900. 38% of homes were built before 1946 but we had automatic washing machines almost a decade before that. Now if you'd said most people couldn't afford them so why build a room for one in social housing that would have made more sense.
And electrical regulations mean we can't put them in the bathroom either. They are pretty much always front-loading so anything dirty stays under the kitchen counter anyway.
@@AM24682 Technically it is not a stamp of approval, it is a mark saying that that company supplies some product to the royal household. Clearly none of the royals put marmite on their toast in the morning! (must be a Bovril family)
I am from a working class Yorkshire family and in the 80s and 90s it was completely common for them and their friends to just turn up at each other's houses unannounced and actually just let themselves in. I think it was more normal because they all lived near each other and until very recently (to that point) a lot of them didn't have phones at home to arrange in advance, so they just showed up.
Tea time is regional. Being from the North of England but living in the South I had to adjust. In the North we had breakfast in the morning, dinner time was the midday meal and tea time was evening meal. In the South, its breakfast, lunch and dinner instead and 'come for tea' would be around 4 pm for sandwiches, cake and tea or just cake and tea.
I think you may find that it is more a class thing as I am from Northampton and as a kid tea time meant evening meal and dinner was the midday meal. At school we had "dinner ladies". I think that it was a more middle class and above to say lunch and dinner. Though I do think that it has become more common to say it that way nowadays instead of dinner and tea.
We also had elevenses and supper with my grandparents growing up. I have northern family who say it the wrong way lol😅 But we always we always have breakfast, lunch, dinner down south. I would also agree it’s part of the class system as my working class friends call it tea, but my family side that was very formal higher class, used very formal English. Also a lot of my family were in the clergy which also means you use proper English a lot innit.
Also what do you call lunchtime supervisors? Are they still dinner ladies up north? Or is that discriminative, I get unsure what is PC these days and what we should call people. They were dinner ladies here even though we called it lunch, I left school 25yrs ago though.
Southerner here. I have breakfast, lunch/dinner and then depending on the time of the meal I might have tea with my children (early dinner meal, pre 6pm) and a pre bed late supper (something light like toast) or a dinner after 6pm
Meals of day in the U.K. Breakfast: Self explanatory, first meal of the day breaking the fasting of the night. Elevenses: a break around 11am for a light snack and possibly a cup of tea etc. Lunch/Luncheon: a lighter meal usually taken early afternoon. Afternoon tea: tea with finger sandwiches, cakes etc. Tea: Is a light meal taken around teatime, early evening. Dinner: is a large meal usually the main meal of the day, this can be eaten in the evening or around the time you might have lunch. Supper: a light snack to have before bedtime to sustain you throughout the night.
When the main meal is in the evening, in my experience dinner and supper are used interchangeably. I've definitely heard people say 'what's for supper' referring to a full cooked meal.
In Sweden we have something very similar to "the Royal Stamp of Approval". Here it is called Royal Court Supplier "Kunglig Hovleverantör" and can best be described as a kind of honor and is expected to testify to high quality. I think the other kingdoms in Scandinavia have it too.
We tend to have our clothes baskets upstairs in the bathroom … the washing machine in the kitchen if you don’t have a utility room … and the benefit is you don’t need to lug wet washing downstairs if the weather is fine enough to peg it out in the garden .
I work for Waitrose, it recently got a Royal Warrant from the king himself, it is the only grocer to get one, we got one for our wines but not the entire brand!!
While they're granted to companies, they're granted to companies for particular products. Procter & Gamble has a royal warrant issued as "manufacturers of soaps and detergents". The company make loads of other things like Gillette razors, Clearblue pregnancy tests, Pampers nappies, and until recently, pet food. While they could theoretically put their royal warrant on those products, it would have to include the words "manufacturers of soaps and detergents" which might look out of place. Especially for the pet food.
@@jakesinclair69420 Schweppes have a Royal Warrant for their cans pf Lemonade, and other goods. and have done for many years, it has the Queens (our late Queens, insignia on the cans..Lemonade I suppose they may change that now.
In England, dinner is usually a hot meal. Sandwiches or something on toast is usually classed as lunch or tea so people who have a hot meal around noon will call that dinner time and if they have something light like sandwiches about 5pm they will call that tea time. However, if they have their cooked meal at night they will call that dinner time and have something light around noon they will call that lunch time. A cross between breakfast and lunch is brunch. Elevensies is basically a mid morning snack. Afternoon tea is usually a special occasion thing around 3 or 4 in the afternoon and is a selection of sandwiches, cakes, scones with jam and cream, macaroons, cream cakes with a cup of tea or coffee served in a tea pot or coffee pot, this is thought of as quite pool lol. Tea time is not when the English drink tea. We drink tea at any time of day or night, whenever we fancy it. Personally I drink about 5 cups of tea or coffee a day, whichever I feel like at the time, one with breakfast, one with lunch/ dinner, one in the afternoon, one with dinner/ tea and one at night. Hope that’s not too confusing 😂😂😂
1. Fortnight A fortnight is a unit of time equal to 14 days (two weeks). The word derives from the Old English term fēowertīene niht, meaning "fourteen nights" (or "fourteen days", since the Anglo-Saxons counted by nights). The classic use of fortnight is taking a break from work for a holiday e.g. 'I've booked a fortnight in Miami'. You may also hear it used in complaints about delivery schedules or waiting times for appointments etc. Fortnight is fairly common but there is also the obscure sennight meaning seven nights & days from Old English seofon nihta seven nights. 2. Pudding Pudding is a type of food. It can be either a dessert, served after the main meal, or a savoury (salty or spicy) dish, served as part of the main meal. In the United States, pudding means a sweet, milk-based dessert similar in consistency to egg-based custards, instant custards or a mousse, often commercially set using corn starch, gelatine or similar coagulating agent such as Jell-O. The modern American meaning of pudding as dessert has evolved from the original almost exclusive use of the term to describe savoury dishes, specifically those created using a process similar to that used for sausages, in which meat and other ingredients in mostly liquid form are encased and then steamed or boiled to set the contents. In the United Kingdom, Ireland and some Commonwealth countries, the word pudding is used to describe sweet and savoury dishes. Savoury puddings include Yorkshire pudding, black pudding, suet pudding and steak and kidney pudding. Unless qualified, however, pudding usually means dessert and in the United Kingdom, pudding is used as a synonym for dessert.[1] Puddings made for dessert can be boiled and steamed puddings, baked puddings, bread puddings, batter puddings, milk puddings or even jellies.[2] In some Commonwealth countries these puddings are known as custards (or curds) if they are egg-thickened, as blancmange if starch-thickened, and as jelly if gelatine-based. Pudding may also refer to other dishes such as bread pudding and rice pudding, although typically these names derive from their origin as British dishes. The word pudding is believed to come from the French boudin, which may derive from the Latin botellus, meaning "small sausage", referring to encased meats used in medieval European puddings. Another proposed etymology is from the West German 'pud' meaning 'to swell.
There was also a Pudding haircut. Maybe back in the forties when the barber or your father put a pudding bowl on the head and snipped around it for even sides.
He's your average willfully ignorant American who has zero social awareness of their surroundings. His reactions are the same across his 3 UA-cam channels all he does day in day out is pump out reaction videos. It's all about playing the algorithm game and income not crediting the other UA-camrs work he's reacting to.
Tyler knows what Yorkshire Pudding is, he knows what black pudding is, and he knows what steak & kidney pudding is. He's seen enough videos covering all three types of food to know what the difference between all three is, and also that the term pudding can also just refer to dessert. But quite why Americans refer to Yorkshire pudding as a bread, or a pastry, when it's batter, I don't know. They pretty much live off pancakes, so they know what pancake batter is, but it seems that the concept of baking it in an oven with fat rather than frying it in a frying pan seems to blow their minds????!!!!
Tyler is a fake reactor. I’m surprised people don’t realize that already. He’s literally reacted to the same things multiple times over and acts like he doesn’t know about them.
@@wessexdruid7598 Yes he is only interested in the income it brings in. In another ten year time, he still be puzzled and amazed that we but butter in sandwiches, and still won't know what a roast potato is.
He does act dumb sometimes because he is trying to constantly create that "dumb American" stereotype... But he is also actually dumb. He has three channels, and he is very careful not to say that he does... I think his videos are aimed at the general UA-cam audience and not a specific audience or community. Even though he's been doing these videos for two years he still acts like everything he learns is for the first time. He also is not the one controlling this whole thing. That would be his twin brother "Ryan." Someone should tell them both that making video about stereotypes works for getting views for a short time... after a year of reacting to the same stuff... just makes you look like an idiot.
Tyler is a fake it's time for people to realise this across is 4 channels. It's react, repeat, react over and over again it's all about generating income. How many times has he reacted to something then in another reaction deny all knowledge of the subject . Which makes him seem so willfully ignorant and have zero social awareness about his surroundings.
@phoenix-xu9xj ...yep...even though the US doesn't... it finds more expensive ways for you to watch TV via cable and adverts every 5 minutes it seems, even to the point sport has to take a back seat when the adverts come on!! 🙈😅...PBS is free, but even that channel in the States is supported by the BBC and Channel 4 with lots of joint projects...
What "Law" is making you pay for a TV licence? Here in the UK i'm in my 50's and have never had a TV licence and never will. They can't do anything to make me buy one.
And Austria's BBC, ORF, and Switzerland's BBC and Germany's Channel 4-like Channel 2, ZDF (lit. "Second German Television") formed a producers' co-operative to make a free satellite channel, 3SAT because 3 Corporations/PSBs SATellite Channel. The "DDR" | "GDR" State TV Broadcaster, DFF (or something), joined it in 1989 before it ceased to exist along with its "state". Then a 4th joined it, Germany's BBC, ARD, eventually. And it started broadcasting on all TV types not just satellite. (I googled this/Wikipediaed it) But still it isn't called 4SAT.
Laundry: It’s mostly because our houses tend to be a lot smaller because we have less land space with a huge population relatively. We also tend to have limited outlets for waste water so it’s grouped with your kitchen sink outlet because there is definitely no room in your average bathroom
nahh it goes to their overpaid over rated staff,lol. Most of their stuff is actually made by BBC studios, which makes plenty of money through other methods, including selling the stuff abroad.
@@c_n_b not really, there may be bias shown in an individual programme but overall there is a balance for the most part. Which in regards to politics can be shown in the fact that both sides of the political divide shout about political bias in favour of their opponents. Don’t get me wrong, as a Scot I see much bias towards England but I am also more than aware that the English make up the bulk of the population, so they are likely just playing to their largest audience but the same bias exists on all other UK wide channels.
Fortnight and fortnightly is used extensively in Australia. Rent is advertised for weekly but is often paid by the fortnight. We very rarely say two weeks.
We also say 'twice' instead of America's "two times" ...and we can, if we choose to, say 'thrice' which means "three times". We say 'a quarter' (1/4) instead of the American's "a fourth" too... This could so easily be too lengthy a list, but no, I shall 'cease and desist' here!!
I think most Brits would love a dedicated laundry room - I certainly would - but our houses are generally old and small. The two groups of people who I know have a dedicated room for washing are my in-laws and my sister - both decided to build their own houses. My wife and I live in a small terraced house in London where there just isn't the space so use whatever little we have left, which is in the kitchen, under work surfaces and sink. Anywhere else is out of the question. Also, plumbing is much easier for older houses as most of it (excluding bathroom) is located there. And dude, we don't leave our dirty underwear just lying about in the kitchen: that's what bedroom floors are for (unless you're posh and have laundry bins)! When we do the washing, we quickly do a circuit of the house and pick it all up to immediately stick it in the washing machine.
The names of the crossings are from acronyms. Puffin is Pedestrian User Friendly crossing (it uses sensors to detect if someone is still using it, and will keep the traffic lights on red until pedestrians have crossed) Pelican is Pedestrian Light Controlled crossing (one the button is pressed the traffic is stopped for around 20 seconds, then a flashing amber light lets traffic proceed again) Toucan is where cyclists can cycle across alongside pedestrians (two can cross) Zebra is black and white. Equestrian crossing is for horse riders...their control box is around 4ft off the ground.
TV License is only for the BBC programmes. If you don’t watch it you don’t need one, but they can tell and you can get fined if you do not have one. Had to laugh about not Biased, it’s extremely biased as run by the public school/wealthy individuals.
And Tiger crossings are a variation of Zebras, that allow pedestrians and cyclists to cross, side-by-side - which throws motorists often - they don't expect cyclists to have right of way.
As an english person, to me, breakfast is breakfast, the meal in the middle of the day is lunch or dinner, usually lunch refers to a lighter meal, and dinner refers to a bigger meal, but it can be either way. And this is lunchtime or dinner time. The evening meal is tea or dinner, and is called tea time and dinner time. I personally don't drink tea, but everyone that I know who does drink tea usually asks if people want a cuppa or a drink if they are making tea or other drinks, because it's quite common for people to dislike tea, or prefer to have coffee
Kitchens always have at least one wall that has pipes in it, making it easy to fit a washing machine. They often have easy access to the back garden, which is a convenient place to hang clean clothes up to dry. They're almost never carpeted, so if a bit of water drips, it won't ruin the carpet. Kitchen work surfaces are basically the perfect height to fit a front-loading washing machine underneath them. My house has a utility room, but we still fitted the washing machine in the kitchen because it's convenient.
One of the alternatives that you see in other countries is to put the washing machine in the bathroom. Definite no-no in Britain because of our lack of sockets in these rooms - unless they develop a washing machine that can run from a shaver socket of course.
I find utility rooms a bit depressing tbh. I guess because it's not really a proper room if you wouldn't hang out there. It's got no life to it. Can see the practically if there was space for it tho.
@@rayaqueen9657 I've never really thought about utility rooms since I've never had one, but they are probably the most practical room in the house. You don't go out of your way to decorate them, they only store utilitarian equipment and there's no reason for any personal touches in them. Completely functional... and boring.
I live in greater Manchester, Northern England. Early morning for me is breakfast. Dinner between 12 noon and 1pm. Tea is between 5pm and 6pm. If I'm feeling posh, i may have supper. I may even have a brunch.
The BBC doesn't run advertisements, so it needs funding in other ways. It broadcasts 8 national TV channels, 7 regional TV channels (plus funding the Welsh language channel) and abut 40 local radio stations. Yep, we use "fortnight" quite commonly. Over here in the UK (where we actually get vacations), their duration is often a fortnight. So something like "Yay! I'm off to France for a fortnight" is pretty common parlance. It's (obviously) a contraction of "fourteen nights". Its' root is in Anglo-Saxon times, when we had a more pagan perspective, so it was significant as the halfway point in the lunar cycle. Most of our houses were built long before washing machines were even invented, so a space for them wasn't considered. Newly built larger houses have a utility room, but many of us prefer our modest 19th century houses, despite their minor inconveniences. I don't know about uninvited visitors. Personally, I almost never invite friends (unless it's for dinner) - they know I have an "open house", i.e. when they pop in unannounced, they're welcome. (And if I'm not in, they know they'll almost certainly find me in the pub down the road!) I think "tea time" is a working class thing. I can vaguely remember my mum shouting "Come and get you tea!" (meaning dinner). Most people these days call the evening meal "dinner(time)" - and I've never heard someone call lunch, "dinner".
I think it’s as much a regional thing to call tea time, tea time and the midday mean dinner. I grew up with breakfast, dinner and tea, but also supper. We had “dinner ladies” at school, and took dinner money in to pay for it. But, tea is not the same as a proper evening meal - it would be the “snack” meal, something like sandwiches usually. If you were having a proper meal, say going out to eat, that would be “an evening meal” - unless it were very formal, in which case it would be a “formal dinner”. Now - I grew up working class so maybe it is a class thing, but I didn’t know anyone around that area of the country who spoke differently, even the “posh” kids or posh bits of my family.
I use the same batter for pancakes and Yorkshire puddings. The only difference is pancakes are fried and paired with a sweet topping whereas Yorkshire puddings are oven baked in a metal tray specificly for them and you put it on a plate with meat potatoes and veg and cover in gravy.
I never understand why people from the US seem to think that we have dirty laundry lying around the kitchen. The dirty laundry sits in hampers in bedrooms, bathrooms or even in the hallway near the bedrooms. Where it is sorted and the load that is to be washed is then taken to the kitchen, put in the washing and the wash started. The dirty laundry is not hanging around in the kitchen for any real length of time.
4:08 only the monarch and their heir can issue these, it's not just anyone in the Royals. They are supposed to be politically impartial but can still have favourite brands of jam or cereal or whatever. The British public is under no obligation to buy a particular product just because there's a Royal Warrant on it, and most of us would not buy anything solely on that basis.
That's not accurate - Queen Camilla has a Royal Warrant (she's just issued one to Fortnum & Mason), and Prince Philip had one too. It's the monarch, the consort and the Prince of Wales who hold the warrants.
I think most of us don't even notice the royal warrant. It's such a normal thing, I don't even notice it. Tho if I do, it's funny to think, "oh this is the ketchup the king has" 😄
the washing machine in the kitchen is a thing left over from the size of houses, as she says. Not many houses have a utility room. and many houses were built before washing machines even existed. Once the washing machines were introduced, you would put it where you had a water outlet or were able to connect the new appliance to an already existing water outet and drain with minimal effort. Hence the kitchen or bathroom. A friend of mine lived in an old building once, in which, yes, the shower! was attached to the kitchen. It as an old building from pre-1900 and that is just were they once converted a little pantry in the kitchen‘s corner into a shower… The bathroom only had room for a tub, so they would have the choice of tub or shower but not both had they not found this solution once showers became fashionable. History and historic buildings…
I'm American and my washing machine is in my kitchen. My house is over 100 years old. There is no place in the bathroom to fit a washing machine, there is no laundry room, and I don't go in the basement unless I have to because it isn't very nice. I have an apartment sized washing machine that I have to hook up to the kitchen faucet. It's not a big deal.
Many houses in the UK were built prior to washing machines. During the industrial revolution that started in the UK in the early 1800 millions of house were built by the business owners for his workers. These were terraced houses and often would be home to mum, dad and at least 5 to 11 children. Often the washing would be done in a steel bath, that’s clothes washing as well and personal washing . When washing machines were invented in the UK starting with the Twin tub they had to fit them somewhere close to the water supply and waste outlet. Even today, with modern houses, anyone with a dedicated washing machine room are regarded as “posh” and “rich” which is not strictly true. Both my adult children have just managed to purchase their own homes in a cheap area not far from us. They are both terraced houses and one costs £450 and the other £375. The later is a house built in 1890 and the other in 2022 but neither have dedicated wash rooms. So, everything we do in the UK, homes, roads, parking is impact by our side. The UK after Holland is one of the most densely populated countries in Europe and the 22nd most populated in the World and we have 720 people per square mile where in American it’s just 96 people so this as a huge impact on space and cost
Only 8% of the Uk is built on though. Most of the land is used for farming. We have amongst the smallest sized houses in Europe because of sheep/ dairy cow farming basically.
In Australia we eat breakfast, lunch and Tea. Dinner usually applies to the dish of food. Pedestrian crossings are commonly called Zebra Crossings. It is common to pay your mortgage fortnightly as many people are paid fortnightly. So the word is commonly used.
@wolfie854 as the video progressed I started thinking how perfect her English was to the point where I thought English could have been her first language. It's only after seeing your comment and the couple of comments supporting you about her sounding Welsh when I could see that (hear that). I'm English (Nottingham) and I'm not very good at distinguishing different dialects.
Houses on average tend to be smaller in the UK and, therefore, there isn't space for a dedicated laundry room. Washing machines need to be plumbed into a water supply and drains, which already exist in a kitchen, hence washing machines in the kitchen. In much of the rest of Europe, washing machines tend to be in bathrooms, but in the UK, we are a bit nervous about having electrical appliances in a bathroom. For example, you won't find any plug sockets in a bathroom (except a low voltage shaver socket), which is different to the US.
In my house we have Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner times but it depends where you are from in the UK. You are thinking of cream tea or Afternoon tea, thats basically tea and scones for posh people or tourists.
When I was a kid (60s) we had 'tea' when we got home from school - usually bread and jam, a slice of cake, and a glass of milk. We call the evening meal Dinner, too (Shrops).
I'm German, lived in the UK for years, and still get somewhat confused. I find myself always calling whatever the main cooked meal of the day is 'dinner'. When it's cold I use the other word. So I've settled on either having breakfast, lunch and dinner or breakfast, dinner and supper depending on what food I'm serving. 😅 Oh and teatime is ALWAYS 'tea' time (though might also be coffee time) and that happens between the midday and the evening meal.
the royal seal of approval is interesting. In Germany, we have some old companies that have royal seals of approval (such as königlich bayrische Manufaktur oder preußischer Hoflieferant) that imply that these are traditional companies that used to deliver to a royal court and it implies that they have not changed recipes since etc. as a sort of seal of approval and traditional craft… TV licences make PBS drive weeks superfluous… Everyone contributes to publicly funded networks and that way, keeps them from overly relying on sponsors and thus manipulation by industries.
You can give up on meal times' names , Tyler. I married into an English family. We call our mid-day meal "lunch" and it's usually a light meal, like a sandwich or salad or soup. We often have a cup of tea when we get home from work, but we don't call it "teatime". We don't make special cakes or sandwiches to eat with it, maybe some biscuits (cookies).Then at about 6-7 we have the main meal, which we call "dinner". It is something properly cooked. Then right before going to bed, if you are hungry you have "supper", something like toast, often with a cup of tea. But depending on the area where you live, and on the "class" you belong to or you THINK you belong to or the class you would LIKE to belong to, it could be all different. Some people have a cooked mid-day meal (like meat and potatoes) and call it "dinner", and they call their evening (often lighter) meal "tea". They do usually serve tea with it. Some posh people call their dinner supper (main meal, cooked) and they eat it later than 6. So between their light lunch and late supper, they will get hungry, and might have "tea", or "high tea", which includes sandwiches, tea cakes - and they all sit down to have it. You don't usually have this if both of you work. If you go to a public (free) hospital, you get offered tea 5 times a day. With your three meals, before you go to bed, and in the afternoon, you can ask for a slice of cake to go with it (the day before). That is "teatime". In a private hospital, you can have tea any time, and so can your visitors. Schools usually call midday meals "dinner". But you can bring a "packed lunch" (cold). Or if it's a posh school, then dinner will be called lunch. Everytime I say "tea" as a drink, you can almost always have coffee instead. But you don't call teatime "coffee time". So I wouldn't bother to understand it if I were you. If you accidentally find yourself living in England, listen to what people around you call what, and use that word. I've heard of an American mother living in England, who got a note from school to send "a cold tea" with the child, as there will be an afternoon performance or something. They meant "a cold evening meal", ie sandwiches. But she thought she would have to make the drink and send it in cold. It's a very complicated society. For its size.
Haha in Germany we definitely call it 'coffee time' (or 'coffee & cake' because it's usual to have cake with it). It usually takes place around 4 or 5. Though in the North of the country it's more likely gonna be tea time.
What you're referring to would be called afternoon tea. That's when you would have just tea, with perhaps some biscuits or a piece of cake. But tea time refers to your evening meal. But tea is drunk any time of the day, breakfast, lunch time, dinner time and any time in between.
Mainly confusing because the evening meal would properly be called High Tea to differentiate it from Afternoon Tea but over the years High Tea has been shortened to just Tea
you can have more than 4 seasons in a day in scotland, we can have sunshine, then cloudy depresing humid heat, then freezing cold gale force winds, rain, then sleat, then snow, back to gales, then sunshine again, and its only 1pm.
Here in Australia my generation say breakfast, lunch and dinner but my parents still say breakfast, dinner and tea. My kids always get so confused when their grandparents say they’re coming for dinner in the middle of the day 😂
I think it’s mostly a North/South divide thing - definitely dinner for midday meal and tea for evening meal is a more Northern thing, lunch and dinner for those meals is more common in the South. In the Midlands, you get both of course!
High tea and afternoon tea were traditionally times for drinking tea and snacking, but not for a good long time now. As a previous comment has said, there are regional variations, but it is not true that "dinner" can mean any meal. Generally it refers to the main meal of the day, whether it is in the middle of the day, or the afternoon/evening. Let's not start on about supper...
@@jumblechaos9035 It's a working class v white collar thing. Having the main meal in the middle of the day is important if you are doing physical labour. There are plenty of working class people in the 'South', including the South West.
@@SoftyArty The British drink tea at any time of the day - there is no specific 'tea time'. Afternoon tea is a meal, at the end of the afternoon, which can often be eaten with a drink of tea. Similarly a cream tea is food with tea.
The Royal Warrant is for the supply of goods to the relevant household, not the individual member of the Royal family. The TV Licence funds the BBC. You need a licence to watch iPlayer or even if you just possess a TV capable of receiving terrestrial TV signals. You need two licences if you have two homes. The reason washing machines are in the kitchen is that they always have been there, and washing clothes took place in the kitchen before machines became commonplace. It was likely to be the only room with a water supply, at least downstairs. Standard houses do not have basements or utility rooms. Early washing machines were not automatic: they needed filling from, and drained into, the kitchen sink, so, obviously, they were stored in the kitchen when not in use. When automatics came in in the 1960s, it made sense to plumb them in where the old machine had been stored.
The midday meal is called Lunch - but if it’s your main meal of the day, it’s also your Dinner! The late afternoon meal - when you come home after school or work - is called your Tea - eaten at “teatime”. If, however, THAT is your main meal of the day, it’s also called Dinner. I know this is confusing to Americans - but we grew up with this terminology.
When Canadian company Kraft introduced macaroni & cheese it was called Kraft 'dinner' in both Canada & the US - I assume this was the reasoning. While Kraft in the States removed the word 'dinner' (and distribution to the rest of the world didn't include it), Canada retained it. It's the same product but use of our term 'dinner' confuses Americans to no end because I don't think they realize that supper is the last meal but the biggest is dinner. I'm not sure why it confuses them since they say Thanksgiving 'dinner' even though I think it's typically eaten in late afternoon.
I am Filipino living here in Wales,UK.. Tea time is Dinner time or Evening meal😂 There is a snack or mostly especially rich-middle class have Afternoon tea. Here in Wales, they use Dinner as Lunch as well . So confusing. But it is what it is.
i think roayal approval came in to establish food standards back in the days when there was no body to look over food standards and has just stuck around
The TV license generates income for the BBC (TV, radio and online platforms) so there are no advertisements or extra product placements. You can watch a film without ads.
The Royal Warrant on products is simply to show that the king, or whatever other member of the Royal Family, likes this product so much that they place a regular order on it and have done so for at least the past five years - earning the manufacturer the right to print the “by appointment” coat of arms on their label. All that does really is show the general public that this is a good enough quality product that royalty buys regularly - so it’s a kind of extra sign that it’s a quality item.
Zebra Crossing comes from the black and white stripes over the road. Pelican Crossing is derived from PEdestrian LIght Controlled (PELIC). There are Traffic Lights to stop traffic that only work after a button on the pavement (side walk) next to them is pushed. That way the traffic is only halted when the crossing is needed. Toucan Crossing comes from "Two can". The two in question being pedestrians and bicycles, the latter of which can be ridden across as against only pushed whilst dismounted.
The licence was fair when the UK had only two channels decades ago. One was funded by advertising and the BBC needed funds to produce programs without using ads. This is now an outdated concept as we have so many subscription channels. There are many who do not believe the BBC is impartial and would prefer it to be a subscription channel. Teatime often means 'dinner' - more usually in the north of England and is a meal in the evening. Teatime is not to be confused with taking a break for a cup of tea, that would be called a tea break.
I love the mental gymnastics they went to to make it so you couldn't watch any of the channels "live" using the internet. That always amuses me. I haven't bothered with a TV licence since I moved out the parents' gaff in 2011. I do also love the cyciical letters they send going from friendly to threatening then back to friendly again if you haven't bothered to apply for your exemption yet
The washing machine in the kitchen is because pre ww1 a lot of british homes didn't have full indoor plumbing. You had the toilets outside and washed by the fire in a tinbath. eventually, the bathrooms came in side, but it was just off of the kitchen, so all the plumbing was downstairs, so it made sense to have the washing machine in the kitchen . My family home growing up was built in 1932 so even in the early 80s we had a downstairs bathroom and we washed our clothes in a twin tub washer, that you had to connect to the taps in the sink and put the outlet hose down the drain to let out waste water and you washed in one part and spun the water out in the second part. Then, when you have done with it, you put it away in the cupboard under the stairs. Due to the old infrastructure of plumbing and drainage in the uk the newer builds tend to have similar plumbing but most bathrooms are upstairs ,some have mud rooms with washers and dryers and then they have a extra toilet down stairs, some times in the cupboard under the stairs.
Yep, fortnight is used just like you said, though another thing is that we’d say: come and visit, rather than come visit! She’s also confused the use of dinner. Up north, dinner is for your midday meal and tea is your evening meal, whereas in the south, lunch is your midday meal and dinner is your evening meal. It is regional. Dinner is not any food or meal. It’s either lunch or an evening meal depending if you’re northern or southern.
Only an idiot would make this reply. Back in the day people had set routines and didn't travel much and often gave "open invitations to visit" to people so it was pretty common to drive over to see a friend on a Wednesday afternoon when you knew they had nothing on usually. These days people have much busier lives so it's not done.
@@ruk2023-- I concur, I would go (still do) to pubs to meet up with friends and acquaintances at certain times if need to catch up with them or just a chat without informing ahead as we worked on knowing there routine and they knew mine.
I agree I t’s the most common use is in relation to holidays but I think we use fortnight as a time of measure more because we have the word! I often say ‘a fortnight ago’ or ‘in a fortnight’. Personally I do think of time (and my diary) in blocks of a week and two weeks, beyond that I have less structured thoughts. Perhaps it’s just me!!!
So traditionally back in older times, you had breakfast 6-8am, lunch midday, tea time 3-4pm , dinner 7-8pm and supper 10pm+, but in modern times most just have 3 meals, so the words have changed meanings a bit. Dinner is usually used for the largest meal of your day, so you can have a dinner at lunchtime, so then you'd use tea time/supper to refer to your evening meal instead of dinner. I think in modern times tea break is what your thinking of where we stop to have a cuppa, though that can be at the traditional afternoon tea time or anytime in your day.
Yeah the proper order for a working day is Breakfast Tea Break Brunch Tea Break Elevenses Tea Break Lunch Tea Break Afternoon Tea Tea Break High Tea Tea Break Supper Hot cocoa for bed
If we go on a holiday out of the country I think the most common period spent away is probably a fortnight, though of course we also go away for a week or a long weekend which is usually Friday to Monday in case you don't have that either. The crossings she mist are puffin and pegasus crossings. The differences the basic Zebra Crossings has striped markings in the road and flashing orange lights. Pelican Crossings have traffic lights and a button for pedestrians to signal they want to cross and then wait for the green light before crossing. Puffin Crossings are similar to Pelican Crossings but are more intelligent and use sensors to determine when pedestrians have finished crossing - often located near elderly homes. Toucan Crossings incorporate cycle crossings as well. Pegasus Crossings incorporate equestrian (horse) crossings and have buttons to signals you want to cross at normal pedestrian height and also a little higher for those on horseback.
Upper class people have breakfast around 7am, lunch 12pm, afternoon tea around 330pm, dinner at 7pm and supper at 10 pm Working class have breakfast. Dinner is classed as lunch and having tea at 5pm as your main meal in the evening The posh eat all day in small portions but working class eat 3 main meals Road crossings are Pelican crossings The pelican was initially introduced on UK highways in 1969 as a Pelican crossing (a blended abbreviation of PEdestrian LIght CONtrolled). It has traffic signals for drivers and pedestrians, as well as a push-button on either side of the road. The crossing is 2.8 meters wide by default. Pedestrians touch a button on the side of the crossing, and the traffic lights change from green to red after a short time, signaling drivers to come to a complete stop. Zebra crossings A zebra crossing, which resembles a zebra’s coat, is a pedestrian crossing that allows people to pass without the need for traffic signals Toucan crossings A toucan crossing is built for both walkers and bikes and is named for the fact that two may cross (and the Department of Transportation is creative). These are typically located along bike paths, and unlike other pedestrian crossings, mounted riders are permitted to use them Yorkshire pudding is made of pancake batter with no sugar Not a dessert. It's also known as toad in the hole which is sausage in batter Television licence is a tax to pay for the use of transmission and making of programmes
How and when to eat in England lol. Breakfast... First meal of the day. Brunch... Morning drink/snack around 11am (also called elevenses). Dinner/lunch midday meal, Hot meal would be dinner a cold meal would be lunch. Afternoon Tea... Generally between 2pm and 3pm small snacks i.e. drinks/cakes/sandwich's. Tea... Evening meal around 6pm-7pm normally the main meal of the day and would generally be a "family" meal. Supper... late evening snack around 9pm (most people have tea/biscuits, cereals, or toast.
Tea time depends on the part of the UK and time of day. My grand parents basically had an open door policy to visitors and no matter what time of the day you'd get a cup of tea and something to eat. The marked times were breakfast, morning tea (11ies), dinner time ~ 1pm, afternoon tea (3-4pm), tea time (a sit down meal ~ 6pm) evening tea about 8-9pm and supper before bed! My grandmother baked every morning for a range of breads (wheaten, soda, crusty) scones and buns which were eaten through out the day.
Take an Orange segment, bite it into half & break up the inside of the segment (Orange juice segments are called Carpels), you can see small sacks of juice (called juice follicles), these are actually the cells of an orange! It's these that are in *Orange juice with bits* not really what I call pith. It's delicious with bits! Puddings are all sorts of foods, usually wrapped up in something else, hence Black pudding, Yorkshire pudding, etc. But saying just pudding, such as "Do you want your pudding" means a sweet pudding of all and any sort! A Pie usually has crust on top, sometimes the crust surrounds the pie as well.
Yeah, it's totally not what they're calling pulp. He even mentions that the pulp is slimy in texture and to me pulp is the white part between the outer skin and the fruit.
@@nailbomb420 The Americans seem to have a built-in prejudice of things they haven't tried, Beans on toast! because their beans are different than the ones we use they automatically think it's disgusting, calling the juicy bits in orange pulp? Do they have slimy mush in their orange juice? hmm doesn't sound good to me, but I would try it, I love Black pudding, Faggots (the English savoury food), Savory Duck (nothing to do with ducks, a bit like faggots), Scotch eggs, etc. But if you have never had one I wouldn't want to know their ingredients, Try one before pulling a face, you never know! I have never had Escargo (snails) or Frogs legs (Frogs legs!) but I'm willing to give them a try.
@@nailbomb420The white part is called the pith. Fruit 'pulp' is the flesh of the fruit basically pureed. So it wouldn't really have much texture. The 'bits' in that type of orange juice is what you'd get with just squeezing the orange, they haven't been pulped.
Where do you plug in a hairdryer? Any newly built or remodeled home in the US now has to have gfci outlets that protect again electric shock when next to water. They will shut off automatically if a problem occurs.
Tea-time was traditionally the last meal in the day but now most refer it to be the evening meal. Tea-Break [U.S. it's coffee break] is used for short refreshment period in-between main meals, but you don't necessarily have to drink tea.
Yeah,they do that with chocolate here in Denmark. I think all the scandi royals have the same seal. Marcipan from Anton Berg seemed to get it first. Toms came early too..
The TV licence allows people to watch programs without ad breaks. This allows the development of a long attention span, whereas people recognise that the majority of people consider that Americans have a TV induced attention span of a fly. The lady is from Brazil but has developed a Welsh accent when speaking English. Worth watching her videos on her reaction to the Welsh language and culture. There is also such videos from a lady that moved to Wales from Canada.
@@ukaly1 so what’s rude, she highlighted how her spoken English has now got a Welsh accent to it and that she also uses Welsh words and phrases. Quite refreshing really, she explains it fully.
@@ukaly1 last time I checked the only nationalities I referred to were the Welsh, Brazilian and Canada. Last time I checked those countries were not American colonies
@@ukaly1 good won’t have to read your silliness again, do you think that the majority of TV watching Americans have a long attention span? Seems that I am in agreement with the WSJ who have already picked up on this trait.
The Royal Seal of approval isn't a weird thing, many countries with a royal family have those. When washing machines came/became popular in Sweden in like the 50ies, they were put in the kitchen, since we didn't have electrical outlets in the bathroom back then, but in the 60ies most of them were moved to the bathroom. It was quite popular to throw out the bath tub at the time, possibly to make room for the washer.
Houses are smaller, much older (Often Victorian) and largely made of brick, meaning that plumbing-in something that needs venting and water can be _very_ costly even if you have the space, hence using the location that always has water and often also has ventilation.
I moved to the UK from Iceland about 7 years ago and I never forget the first time a Brit asked me; "So what did you have for tea last night?" I honestly had no clue what that person was talking about. It had to be explained to me that she was asking me what I had for dinner.
Breakfast, lunch, dinner and supper with snacks in between. I'm a tea-aholic. Love my cuppas. I wouldn't call my lunch my tea. Dinner time is 5pm because that's what time we had it as kids. Some people have dinner around 7pm, others have it at 3 or 4pm. Yorkshire pudding is something you have with a roast dinner and gravy. Not American gravy but British gravy. 😂 We have them with mashed potatoes, etc. We dip them in our gravy and put some potatoes in it. They're delicious.
Tea time is your evening meal, lunch time is your midday meal. Often though you will get asked (by your mum) what you have had for dinner that day, this is usually referencing what your "main hot" meal of the day was. Eg. Breakfast is cereal or toast, lunch is usually sandwiches or something else light and a full cooked meal for tea. This can vary on Christmas where your Christmas dinner is at lunch time or late lunch around 3 in the afternoon or if you are maybe going out for a bday meal etc
Yorkshire pudding is a light crisp batter. Flour, egg, milk with a pinch of salt. This is cooked in the fat from the roast meat. Roast Beef with Yorkshire pudding is the essential Sunday Lunch Time Dinner. I cannot imagine eating roast beef without the crisp savoury flavour of Yorkshire pudding. When I was a little lad in the 1950s my mother would make a single massive Yorkshire Pudding and serve it with gravy as a starter. Meat was still in short supply after the war and so with the Yorkshire starter, we were full before the meat was served.
The TV Licence ONLY APPLIES to Live TV broadcast programmes or using BBC iPlayer or any streaming applications that has "Live" TV. You do not need a TV Licence to watch Catch-up, On-demand and pretty much anything that is not "Live". You can watch Live content that is not from a broadcasting corporation for example; Watching Live content from an independent content creator on UA-cam does not require a TV Licence.
EDIT!! I’ve done the digging. Look at my other comment! --- Bru, I swear you reacted to almost everything on this list, just in separate “Brit culture” videos…. Imma do some digging.
People have always done the washing it the kitchen, you needed hot water which you boiled in the kitchen, the sink for draining. Due to the weather you can't really do the washing outside. All the plumbing goes through the kitchen and our houses are much smaller. The many of people live in what we call a 2 up 2 down, houses with 2 bedrooms upstairs and a kitchen and front room down stairs. Bathrooms have been added to most of these but they are small workers houses, often about 100 plus in age.
growing up in Scotland, the main meals of the day were breakfast, dinner, tea, and supper where dinner was common name for lunchtime meal, tea was common name for evening meal (the main meal of the day), and supper was a late evening light snack before bed
I’m also Scottish. I had a fried breakfast of some kind seven days a week. For lunch I’d just have a sandwich the for tea (or dinner) I’d have a three course meal seven nights a week. We also had supper at around 9.30pm, usually two slices of cheese on toast six nights a week. None of my family were overweight. None of my family were alcohol drinkers - only on special occasions. My mother made home made wine. That probably put me off wine until I was about 24 years old.
To have a Royal Warrant was great advertising "hey look at my product, its so good even the Royals use it". They tend to go to British products/companies. Your TV licence is to ensure that everyone has access to quality TV and the news, its worth it just for the natural history shows alone, BBC has no adverts. All your pumbing used to be downstairs, near the kitchen and Brits tend to hang out their washing to dry and accessing the back garden tends to be via the kitchen so it makes sense to put it there. Breakfast, brunch, lunch, afternoon tea, tea, dinner, supper and all happen at different times. If it doesn't say anything in front of it pudding is your dessert regardless of what you're having, if it says black, yorkshire etc before its definitely not dessert
I know he does have a real medical condition not sure what it is but I and others had witnessed it, it unfair to laugh at someone with medical issues IMO.
She's wrong - dinner is a meal that you can have at lunchtime, which is middle of the day, or at tea time, which is early evening. You can also have a late night dinner which will be late evening. Dinner can be used interchangeably with lunch or tea.
Reference the food time terms, here in the Uk it depends on where you are from or your level of class as to what you call meal times. T time was always evening meal time for most, however the posh or well to do families called it dinner or supper. Also we called lunch dinner time too, there is also a term ‘high tea’ which is practiced by the upper classes, it takes place around 4pm and is usually tea and toast or cake, it is there to tie you over til dinner time (around 7:45pm). So a lot of terminology changes depending on where you are from and your class level.
Tea time, dinner time, and supper are all words which had their own meanings historically, however as time's gone on, the term which was used by that region most commonly for the main late meal has become prominent. Tea time was 100% the time to drink tea with some simple sandwiches and cakes, and was set to about the mid-afternoon. Supper was a later meal in the evening that was commonly served hot. Supper is what most people today would refer to as dinner. Dinner was then your main meal of the day, so it varied by what job you'd be doing. For example, people with jobs that require a lot of callories might have had dinner for breakfast before having a smaller lunch and supper.
The Royal Warrant pre-dates modern marketing. To get a Royal Warrant in the old days would have meant that you you had a significant commercial advantage over other tradespeople / purveyors.
Apparently, that was the original meaning used internally at the DOT and was never intended to be the official name. It became known outside the DOT and so well established that Pelican was adopted as the official name.
Breakfast then dinner time then teatime . If you're having afternoon tea that's a cup of tea with maybe sandwiches and cakes . And you can eat Yorkshire pudding with jam as well as with your Sunday dinner
In Britain meal time are: Breakfast (self explanatory), Elevenses (usually as drink and snack around 11.00hrs), Lunch (usually between 12.00 & 13.30hrs), tea time is generally around 16.00hrs and Dinner is usually between 17.30 & 20.00hrs finally supper time which is when a light snack is consumed, along with something like hot chocolate just before bedtime.
Yorkshire pudding is not bread or pastry. It's batter and it's lovely, soaked in gravy.
Or in some parts of the country sprinkled with sugar and eaten as a dessert.
It's lovely with jam, too.
Better crispy in my opinion, with a bit of meat n mash
@Sachik30 You put jam on a yorkshire that's horrible
@@skaringamer9064 Why? It's only batter mix, just like pancakes. Jam is added whilst the YP is still hot. Delicious.😁 (my mum's Yorkshire born, btw, and she puts jam on them when not with a Roast dinner. She's 87 and a bit frail now, but still cooks from scratch & makes perfect YP. Yum).
Many houses were built long BEFORE washing machines, etc., were invented. So they have to be located where they can be hooked up to electrical and water services.
Many homes do have a utility room. My home has one but the house was enlarged with an extension before I bought it. I think a lot of modern houses are built with utility rooms.
@angelarichens7863 you forget that many homes in UK are pre WW2. THEY have no provisions for "utility room"
Many houses didn't have a bathroom or kitchen, your living area was a multi use space cooking on the fireplace. Bathing next to the fire too but using the toilet outside!
Electric washing machines were invented in 1908 the majority of homes in the UK are less than 100 years old so no they weren't built long before washing machines. Only around 15% of houses in England were built before 1900. 38% of homes were built before 1946 but we had automatic washing machines almost a decade before that. Now if you'd said most people couldn't afford them so why build a room for one in social housing that would have made more sense.
And electrical regulations mean we can't put them in the bathroom either. They are pretty much always front-loading so anything dirty stays under the kitchen counter anyway.
The royal family stays out of political, not groceries.
🤣🤣
thay haven't approved marmite tho 🤨
@@AM24682 Technically it is not a stamp of approval, it is a mark saying that that company supplies some product to the royal household. Clearly none of the royals put marmite on their toast in the morning! (must be a Bovril family)
The Royal Warrants are the only on products that the Royal Family uses. Fortnum and Mason is the royal families supermarket.
Off the top of my head, I couldn't tell you any items that have the royal stamp of approval on it.
I am from a working class Yorkshire family and in the 80s and 90s it was completely common for them and their friends to just turn up at each other's houses unannounced and actually just let themselves in. I think it was more normal because they all lived near each other and until very recently (to that point) a lot of them didn't have phones at home to arrange in advance, so they just showed up.
Yes but it would require a key . So it showed that trust had to be earned
They still do it at Ian Beale's house in EastEnders O.o
Tea time is regional. Being from the North of England but living in the South I had to adjust. In the North we had breakfast in the morning, dinner time was the midday meal and tea time was evening meal.
In the South, its breakfast, lunch and dinner instead and 'come for tea' would be around 4 pm for sandwiches, cake and tea or just cake and tea.
I think you may find that it is more a class thing as I am from Northampton and as a kid tea time meant evening meal and dinner was the midday meal. At school we had "dinner ladies". I think that it was a more middle class and above to say lunch and dinner. Though I do think that it has become more common to say it that way nowadays instead of dinner and tea.
We also had elevenses and supper with my grandparents growing up. I have northern family who say it the wrong way lol😅 But we always we always have breakfast, lunch, dinner down south.
I would also agree it’s part of the class system as my working class friends call it tea, but my family side that was very formal higher class, used very formal English. Also a lot of my family were in the clergy which also means you use proper English a lot innit.
Also what do you call lunchtime supervisors?
Are they still dinner ladies up north? Or is that discriminative, I get unsure what is PC these days and what we should call people. They were dinner ladies here even though we called it lunch, I left school 25yrs ago though.
I'm from Norfolk and it is breakfast, lunch/dinner and tea.
Southerner here. I have breakfast, lunch/dinner and then depending on the time of the meal I might have tea with my children (early dinner meal, pre 6pm) and a pre bed late supper (something light like toast) or a dinner after 6pm
Meals of day in the U.K.
Breakfast: Self explanatory, first meal of the day breaking the fasting of the night.
Elevenses: a break around 11am for a light snack and possibly a cup of tea etc.
Lunch/Luncheon: a lighter meal usually taken early afternoon.
Afternoon tea: tea with finger sandwiches, cakes etc.
Tea: Is a light meal taken around teatime, early evening.
Dinner: is a large meal usually the main meal of the day, this can be eaten in the evening or around the time you might have lunch.
Supper: a light snack to have before bedtime to sustain you throughout the night.
Yes, once again it's clear where Tolkien got inspiration for his hobbits :D
I think a lot of brits would disagree with some of these.
Depends where you are in the country
When the main meal is in the evening, in my experience dinner and supper are used interchangeably. I've definitely heard people say 'what's for supper' referring to a full cooked meal.
You forgot brunch
In Sweden we have something very similar to "the Royal Stamp of Approval". Here it is called Royal Court Supplier "Kunglig Hovleverantör" and can best be described as a kind of honor and is expected to testify to high quality.
I think the other kingdoms in Scandinavia have it too.
Yup, "Kongelig Hofleverandør" in Denmark
We tend to have our clothes baskets upstairs in the bathroom … the washing machine in the kitchen if you don’t have a utility room … and the benefit is you don’t need to lug wet washing downstairs if the weather is fine enough to peg it out in the garden .
Royal Warrants are granted to companies, not products.
I work for Waitrose, it recently got a Royal Warrant from the king himself, it is the only grocer to get one, we got one for our wines but not the entire brand!!
While they're granted to companies, they're granted to companies for particular products. Procter & Gamble has a royal warrant issued as "manufacturers of soaps and detergents". The company make loads of other things like Gillette razors, Clearblue pregnancy tests, Pampers nappies, and until recently, pet food. While they could theoretically put their royal warrant on those products, it would have to include the words "manufacturers of soaps and detergents" which might look out of place. Especially for the pet food.
@@vitalspark6288 British Sugar have one for "manufacturers of sugar". It would definitely look out of place on their medicinal cannabis.
@@jakesinclair69420 Schweppes have a Royal Warrant for their cans pf Lemonade, and other goods. and have done for many years, it has the Queens (our late Queens, insignia on the cans..Lemonade I suppose they may change that now.

In England, dinner is usually a hot meal. Sandwiches or something on toast is usually classed as lunch or tea so people who have a hot meal around noon will call that dinner time and if they have something light like sandwiches about 5pm they will call that tea time. However, if they have their cooked meal at night they will call that dinner time and have something light around noon they will call that lunch time. A cross between breakfast and lunch is brunch. Elevensies is basically a mid morning snack. Afternoon tea is usually a special occasion thing around 3 or 4 in the afternoon and is a selection of sandwiches, cakes, scones with jam and cream, macaroons, cream cakes with a cup of tea or coffee served in a tea pot or coffee pot, this is thought of as quite pool lol. Tea time is not when the English drink tea. We drink tea at any time of day or night, whenever we fancy it. Personally I drink about 5 cups of tea or coffee a day, whichever I feel like at the time, one with breakfast, one with lunch/ dinner, one in the afternoon, one with dinner/ tea and one at night. Hope that’s not too confusing 😂😂😂
1. Fortnight
A fortnight is a unit of time equal to 14 days (two weeks). The word derives from the Old English term fēowertīene niht, meaning "fourteen nights" (or "fourteen days", since the Anglo-Saxons counted by nights).
The classic use of fortnight is taking a break from work for a holiday e.g. 'I've booked a fortnight in Miami'. You may also hear it used in complaints about delivery schedules or waiting times for appointments etc.
Fortnight is fairly common but there is also the obscure sennight meaning seven nights & days from Old English seofon nihta seven nights.
2. Pudding
Pudding is a type of food. It can be either a dessert, served after the main meal, or a savoury (salty or spicy) dish, served as part of the main meal.
In the United States, pudding means a sweet, milk-based dessert similar in consistency to egg-based custards, instant custards or a mousse, often commercially set using corn starch, gelatine or similar coagulating agent such as Jell-O. The modern American meaning of pudding as dessert has evolved from the original almost exclusive use of the term to describe savoury dishes, specifically those created using a process similar to that used for sausages, in which meat and other ingredients in mostly liquid form are encased and then steamed or boiled to set the contents.
In the United Kingdom, Ireland and some Commonwealth countries, the word pudding is used to describe sweet and savoury dishes. Savoury puddings include Yorkshire pudding, black pudding, suet pudding and steak and kidney pudding. Unless qualified, however, pudding usually means dessert and in the United Kingdom, pudding is used as a synonym for dessert.[1] Puddings made for dessert can be boiled and steamed puddings, baked puddings, bread puddings, batter puddings, milk puddings or even jellies.[2]
In some Commonwealth countries these puddings are known as custards (or curds) if they are egg-thickened, as blancmange if starch-thickened, and as jelly if gelatine-based. Pudding may also refer to other dishes such as bread pudding and rice pudding, although typically these names derive from their origin as British dishes.
The word pudding is believed to come from the French boudin, which may derive from the Latin botellus, meaning "small sausage", referring to encased meats used in medieval European puddings. Another proposed etymology is from the West German 'pud' meaning 'to swell.
I thought it was from Roman military soldiers who changed fort duties every 2 weeks
We even have people remember our grandparents using the word 'sennight' (seven nights) for a week.
Good answer.
There was also a Pudding haircut. Maybe back in the forties when the barber or your father put a pudding bowl on the head and snipped around it for even sides.
I always thought pelican crossings got their name from the person who invented them though it got the good old anagram treatment
I love how Tyler constantly speaks for "most Americans" when he's never been anywhere other than Indiana... 🤣
He's your average willfully ignorant American who has zero social awareness of their surroundings. His reactions are the same across his 3 UA-cam channels all he does day in day out is pump out reaction videos. It's all about playing the algorithm game and income not crediting the other UA-camrs work he's reacting to.
I thought he was in California
Tyler knows what Yorkshire Pudding is, he knows what black pudding is, and he knows what steak & kidney pudding is. He's seen enough videos covering all three types of food to know what the difference between all three is, and also that the term pudding can also just refer to dessert. But quite why Americans refer to Yorkshire pudding as a bread, or a pastry, when it's batter, I don't know. They pretty much live off pancakes, so they know what pancake batter is, but it seems that the concept of baking it in an oven with fat rather than frying it in a frying pan seems to blow their minds????!!!!
Tyler has an attention span shorter than a goldfish. Which is why he never reads the comments.
Tyler is a fake reactor. I’m surprised people don’t realize that already. He’s literally reacted to the same things multiple times over and acts like he doesn’t know about them.
@@wessexdruid7598 Yes he is only interested in the income it brings in.
In another ten year time, he still be puzzled and amazed that we but butter in sandwiches, and still won't know what a roast potato is.
He does act dumb sometimes because he is trying to constantly create that "dumb American" stereotype... But he is also actually dumb.
He has three channels, and he is very careful not to say that he does... I think his videos are aimed at the general UA-cam audience and not a specific audience or community. Even though he's been doing these videos for two years he still acts like everything he learns is for the first time.
He also is not the one controlling this whole thing. That would be his twin brother "Ryan." Someone should tell them both that making video about stereotypes works for getting views for a short time... after a year of reacting to the same stuff... just makes you look like an idiot.
Tyler is a fake it's time for people to realise this across is 4 channels. It's react, repeat, react over and over again it's all about generating income. How many times has he reacted to something then in another reaction deny all knowledge of the subject . Which makes him seem so willfully ignorant and have zero social awareness about his surroundings.

What "Law" is making you pay for a TV licence? Here in the UK i'm in my 50's and have never had a TV licence and never will. They can't do anything to make me buy one.
And Austria's BBC, ORF, and Switzerland's BBC and Germany's Channel 4-like Channel 2, ZDF (lit. "Second German Television") formed a producers' co-operative to make a free satellite channel, 3SAT because 3 Corporations/PSBs SATellite Channel. The "DDR" | "GDR" State TV Broadcaster, DFF (or something), joined it in 1989 before it ceased to exist along with its "state". Then a 4th joined it, Germany's BBC, ARD, eventually. And it started broadcasting on all TV types not just satellite. (I googled this/Wikipediaed it) But still it isn't called 4SAT.
Laundry: It’s mostly because our houses tend to be a lot smaller because we have less land space with a huge population relatively. We also tend to have limited outlets for waste water so it’s grouped with your kitchen sink outlet because there is definitely no room in your average bathroom
The TV licence lasts for one year. The money goes to the BBC to finance their programmes. In turn there are no advertising or sponsorship breaks.
And we get told what to think/believe.
@@c_n_b There are required standards of impartiality - unlike America since Reagan ditched them and see what that brought.
@@auldfouter8661that impartiality went along time ago
nahh it goes to their overpaid over rated staff,lol. Most of their stuff is actually made by BBC studios, which makes plenty of money through other methods, including selling the stuff abroad.
@@c_n_b not really, there may be bias shown in an individual programme but overall there is a balance for the most part. Which in regards to politics can be shown in the fact that both sides of the political divide shout about political bias in favour of their opponents.
Don’t get me wrong, as a Scot I see much bias towards England but I am also more than aware that the English make up the bulk of the population, so they are likely just playing to their largest audience but the same bias exists on all other UK wide channels.
Dinner is the name for lunch in the north. A school midday break time was always called ‘dinner time’ and we had ‘dinner ladies’ who served the food.
Fortnight and fortnightly is used extensively in Australia. Rent is advertised for weekly but is often paid by the fortnight.
We very rarely say two weeks.
Yep. Used to get paid fortnightly, too. I actually miss being paid fortnightly as monthly can leave you short.
At least the term "sennight", meaning a week (seven nights) is no longer used.
We also say 'twice' instead of America's "two times"
...and we can, if we choose to, say 'thrice' which means "three times".
We say 'a quarter' (1/4) instead of the American's "a fourth" too...

I think most Brits would love a dedicated laundry room - I certainly would - but our houses are generally old and small. The two groups of people who I know have a dedicated room for washing are my in-laws and my sister - both decided to build their own houses. My wife and I live in a small terraced house in London where there just isn't the space so use whatever little we have left, which is in the kitchen, under work surfaces and sink. Anywhere else is out of the question. Also, plumbing is much easier for older houses as most of it (excluding bathroom) is located there. And dude, we don't leave our dirty underwear just lying about in the kitchen: that's what bedroom floors are for (unless you're posh and have laundry bins)! When we do the washing, we quickly do a circuit of the house and pick it all up to immediately stick it in the washing machine.
The names of the crossings are from acronyms.
Puffin is Pedestrian User Friendly crossing (it uses sensors to detect if someone is still using it, and will keep the traffic lights on red until pedestrians have crossed)
Pelican is Pedestrian Light Controlled crossing (one the button is pressed the traffic is stopped for around 20 seconds, then a flashing amber light lets traffic proceed again)
Toucan is where cyclists can cycle across alongside pedestrians (two can cross)
Zebra is black and white.
Equestrian crossing is for horse riders...their control box is around 4ft off the ground.
The equestrian one is called a Pegasus crossing
TV License is only for the BBC programmes. If you don’t watch it you don’t need one, but they can tell and you can get fined if you do not have one. Had to laugh about not Biased, it’s extremely biased as run by the public school/wealthy individuals.
@@tashasgran The licence only pays for the BBC, but you still have to have one if you could receive programmes.
And Tiger crossings are a variation of Zebras, that allow pedestrians and cyclists to cross, side-by-side - which throws motorists often - they don't expect cyclists to have right of way.
Well I’ve learnt something new!
As an english person, to me, breakfast is breakfast, the meal in the middle of the day is lunch or dinner, usually lunch refers to a lighter meal, and dinner refers to a bigger meal, but it can be either way. And this is lunchtime or dinner time.
The evening meal is tea or dinner, and is called tea time and dinner time.
I personally don't drink tea, but everyone that I know who does drink tea usually asks if people want a cuppa or a drink if they are making tea or other drinks, because it's quite common for people to dislike tea, or prefer to have coffee
Kitchens always have at least one wall that has pipes in it, making it easy to fit a washing machine. They often have easy access to the back garden, which is a convenient place to hang clean clothes up to dry. They're almost never carpeted, so if a bit of water drips, it won't ruin the carpet. Kitchen work surfaces are basically the perfect height to fit a front-loading washing machine underneath them.
My house has a utility room, but we still fitted the washing machine in the kitchen because it's convenient.
One of the alternatives that you see in other countries is to put the washing machine in the bathroom. Definite no-no in Britain because of our lack of sockets in these rooms - unless they develop a washing machine that can run from a shaver socket of course.
I find utility rooms a bit depressing tbh. I guess because it's not really a proper room if you wouldn't hang out there. It's got no life to it. Can see the practically if there was space for it tho.
Of course it's sensible, and if you have a utility room, it opens up other possibilities for the space as well.
@@rayaqueen9657 I've never really thought about utility rooms since I've never had one, but they are probably the most practical room in the house. You don't go out of your way to decorate them, they only store utilitarian equipment and there's no reason for any personal touches in them. Completely functional... and boring.
If I had a house with a utility, I'd probably use it as a dog room or convert it to a wetroom.
I live in greater Manchester, Northern England. Early morning for me is breakfast.

The BBC doesn't run advertisements, so it needs funding in other ways. It broadcasts 8 national TV channels, 7 regional TV channels (plus funding the Welsh language channel) and abut 40 local radio stations.
Yep, we use "fortnight" quite commonly. Over here in the UK (where we actually get vacations), their duration is often a fortnight. So something like "Yay! I'm off to France for a fortnight" is pretty common parlance. It's (obviously) a contraction of "fourteen nights". Its' root is in Anglo-Saxon times, when we had a more pagan perspective, so it was significant as the halfway point in the lunar cycle.
Most of our houses were built long before washing machines were even invented, so a space for them wasn't considered. Newly built larger houses have a utility room, but many of us prefer our modest 19th century houses, despite their minor inconveniences.
I don't know about uninvited visitors. Personally, I almost never invite friends (unless it's for dinner) - they know I have an "open house", i.e. when they pop in unannounced, they're welcome. (And if I'm not in, they know they'll almost certainly find me in the pub down the road!)
I think "tea time" is a working class thing. I can vaguely remember my mum shouting "Come and get you tea!" (meaning dinner). Most people these days call the evening meal "dinner(time)" - and I've never heard someone call lunch, "dinner".
I think it’s as much a regional thing to call tea time, tea time and the midday mean dinner. I grew up with breakfast, dinner and tea, but also supper. We had “dinner ladies” at school, and took dinner money in to pay for it.
But, tea is not the same as a proper evening meal - it would be the “snack” meal, something like sandwiches usually. If you were having a proper meal, say going out to eat, that would be “an evening meal” - unless it were very formal, in which case it would be a “formal dinner”.
Now - I grew up working class so maybe it is a class thing, but I didn’t know anyone around that area of the country who spoke differently, even the “posh” kids or posh bits of my family.
Where I come from (Derby), it was always breakfast, dinner and tea. We never said lunch, which was considered a bit posh. Yes, I'm working class.

I use the same batter for pancakes and Yorkshire puddings. The only difference is pancakes are fried and paired with a sweet topping whereas Yorkshire puddings are oven baked in a metal tray specificly for them and you put it on a plate with meat potatoes and veg and cover in gravy.
That's how I was taught in Cookery lessons at school. Same recipe for the batter, different method to cook.
That sounds a bit like our Swedish ugnspannkaka (oven pancake)

I never understand why people from the US seem to think that we have dirty laundry lying around the kitchen. The dirty laundry sits in hampers in bedrooms, bathrooms or even in the hallway near the bedrooms. Where it is sorted and the load that is to be washed is then taken to the kitchen, put in the washing and the wash started. The dirty laundry is not hanging around in the kitchen for any real length of time.
Thaaaank you, I was thinking this too. The clothes, are transported to the washing machine AT the time of washing! Gawwd
Though I've seen some houses in my time and some people leave all sorts in their kitchens that I wouldn't put anywhere near mine!!!
Thanks, also find it hard to understand why they think we have dirty laundry sitting in the kitchen. X
Also side note, usually you would have a washing machine in the kitchen but larger houses, or suburban areas, its common to have a utility room
4:08 only the monarch and their heir can issue these, it's not just anyone in the Royals. They are supposed to be politically impartial but can still have favourite brands of jam or cereal or whatever. The British public is under no obligation to buy a particular product just because there's a Royal Warrant on it, and most of us would not buy anything solely on that basis.
That's not accurate - Queen Camilla has a Royal Warrant (she's just issued one to Fortnum & Mason), and Prince Philip had one too. It's the monarch, the consort and the Prince of Wales who hold the warrants.
So the dog food is not done by the Corgis then ?
I think most of us don't even notice the royal warrant. It's such a normal thing, I don't even notice it. Tho if I do, it's funny to think, "oh this is the ketchup the king has" 😄
The Queen Mother of late and beloved memory also issued Royal Warrants, Yardly and Pears soaps were two I remember.
The late Duke of Edinburgh issued Royal warrants
the washing machine in the kitchen is a thing left over from the size of houses, as she says. Not many houses have a utility room. and many houses were built before washing machines even existed. Once the washing machines were introduced, you would put it where you had a water outlet or were able to connect the new appliance to an already existing water outet and drain with minimal effort. Hence the kitchen or bathroom. A friend of mine lived in an old building once, in which, yes, the shower! was attached to the kitchen. It as an old building from pre-1900 and that is just were they once converted a little pantry in the kitchen‘s corner into a shower… The bathroom only had room for a tub, so they would have the choice of tub or shower but not both had they not found this solution once showers became fashionable. History and historic buildings…
3 quarters of Europe have TV License Fees...Germany even have a separate license for Radio...
I'm American and my washing machine is in my kitchen. My house is over 100 years old. There is no place in the bathroom to fit a washing machine, there is no laundry room, and I don't go in the basement unless I have to because it isn't very nice. I have an apartment sized washing machine that I have to hook up to the kitchen faucet. It's not a big deal.
Many houses in the UK were built prior to washing machines. During the industrial revolution that started in the UK in the early 1800 millions of house were built by the business owners for his workers.
These were terraced houses and often would be home to mum, dad and at least 5 to 11 children.
Often the washing would be done in a steel bath, that’s clothes washing as well and personal washing .
When washing machines were invented in the UK starting with the Twin tub they had to fit them somewhere close to the water supply and waste outlet.
Even today, with modern houses, anyone with a dedicated washing machine room are regarded as “posh” and “rich” which is not strictly true.
Both my adult children have just managed to purchase their own homes in a cheap area not far from us. They are both terraced houses and one costs £450 and the other £375. The later is a house built in 1890 and the other in 2022 but neither have dedicated wash rooms.
So, everything we do in the UK, homes, roads, parking is impact by our side.
The UK after Holland is one of the most densely populated countries in Europe and the 22nd most populated in the World and we have 720 people per square mile where in American it’s just 96 people so this as a huge impact on space and cost
Only 8% of the Uk is built on though. Most of the land is used for farming. We have amongst the smallest sized houses in Europe because of sheep/ dairy cow farming basically.

Houses on average tend to be smaller in the UK and, therefore, there isn't space for a dedicated laundry room. Washing machines need to be plumbed into a water supply and drains, which already exist in a kitchen, hence washing machines in the kitchen.
In much of the rest of Europe, washing machines tend to be in bathrooms, but in the UK, we are a bit nervous about having electrical appliances in a bathroom. For example, you won't find any plug sockets in a bathroom (except a low voltage shaver socket), which is different to the US.
In my house we have Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner times but it depends where you are from in the UK. You are thinking of cream tea or Afternoon tea, thats basically tea and scones for posh people or tourists.
And if you have a cream tea or afternoon tea you wouldn't call that tea time.
On Sunday we have Dinner at Lunch time.
When I was a kid (60s) we had 'tea' when we got home from school - usually bread and jam, a slice of cake, and a glass of milk. We call the evening meal Dinner, too (Shrops).
@@jonathanwetherell3609 I have Sunday dinner at tea time 😂
I'm German, lived in the UK for years, and still get somewhat confused. I find myself always calling whatever the main cooked meal of the day is 'dinner'. When it's cold I use the other word. So I've settled on either having breakfast, lunch and dinner or breakfast, dinner and supper depending on what food I'm serving. 😅
Oh and teatime is ALWAYS 'tea' time (though might also be coffee time) and that happens between the midday and the evening meal.
the royal seal of approval is interesting. In Germany, we have some old companies that have royal seals of approval (such as königlich bayrische Manufaktur oder preußischer Hoflieferant) that imply that these are traditional companies that used to deliver to a royal court and it implies that they have not changed recipes since etc. as a sort of seal of approval and traditional craft…
TV licences make PBS drive weeks superfluous… Everyone contributes to publicly funded networks and that way, keeps them from overly relying on sponsors and thus manipulation by industries.
We have a similar system to the royal warrants here in Sweden, you can be named “Kunglig Hovleverantör” lit. Royal Court supplier.
You can give up on meal times' names , Tyler. I married into an English family. We call our mid-day meal "lunch" and it's usually a light meal, like a sandwich or salad or soup. We often have a cup of tea when we get home from work, but we don't call it "teatime". We don't make special cakes or sandwiches to eat with it, maybe some biscuits (cookies).Then at about 6-7 we have the main meal, which we call "dinner". It is something properly cooked. Then right before going to bed, if you are hungry you have "supper", something like toast, often with a cup of tea.
But depending on the area where you live, and on the "class" you belong to or you THINK you belong to or the class you would LIKE to belong to, it could be all different. Some people have a cooked mid-day meal (like meat and potatoes) and call it "dinner", and they call their evening (often lighter) meal "tea". They do usually serve tea with it. Some posh people call their dinner supper (main meal, cooked) and they eat it later than 6. So between their light lunch and late supper, they will get hungry, and might have "tea", or "high tea", which includes sandwiches, tea cakes - and they all sit down to have it. You don't usually have this if both of you work. If you go to a public (free) hospital, you get offered tea 5 times a day. With your three meals, before you go to bed, and in the afternoon, you can ask for a slice of cake to go with it (the day before). That is "teatime". In a private hospital, you can have tea any time, and so can your visitors. Schools usually call midday meals "dinner". But you can bring a "packed lunch" (cold). Or if it's a posh school, then dinner will be called lunch. Everytime I say "tea" as a drink, you can almost always have coffee instead. But you don't call teatime "coffee time".
So I wouldn't bother to understand it if I were you. If you accidentally find yourself living in England, listen to what people around you call what, and use that word.
I've heard of an American mother living in England, who got a note from school to send "a cold tea" with the child, as there will be an afternoon performance or something. They meant "a cold evening meal", ie sandwiches. But she thought she would have to make the drink and send it in cold. It's a very complicated society. For its size.
When iI lived n Londo ni 1971-2, I never heard nyone call his evenig meal 'tea' but Northenersc andc Au strlins.
Haha in Germany we definitely call it 'coffee time' (or 'coffee & cake' because it's usual to have cake with it). It usually takes place around 4 or 5. Though in the North of the country it's more likely gonna be tea time.
What you're referring to would be called afternoon tea. That's when you would have just tea, with perhaps some biscuits or a piece of cake. But tea time refers to your evening meal. But tea is drunk any time of the day, breakfast, lunch time, dinner time and any time in between.
Mainly confusing because the evening meal would properly be called High Tea to differentiate it from Afternoon Tea but over the years High Tea has been shortened to just Tea

Breakfast, dinner, and tea sometimes for some people. Breakfast, lunch and dinner for formal occasions!
Here in Australia my generation say breakfast, lunch and dinner but my parents still say breakfast, dinner and tea. My kids always get so confused when their grandparents say they’re coming for dinner in the middle of the day 😂
I think it’s mostly a North/South divide thing - definitely dinner for midday meal and tea for evening meal is a more Northern thing, lunch and dinner for those meals is more common in the South. In the Midlands, you get both of course!
High tea and afternoon tea were traditionally times for drinking tea and snacking, but not for a good long time now.
As a previous comment has said, there are regional variations, but it is not true that "dinner" can mean any meal. Generally it refers to the main meal of the day, whether it is in the middle of the day, or the afternoon/evening.
Let's not start on about supper...
@@jumblechaos9035 It's a working class v white collar thing. Having the main meal in the middle of the day is important if you are doing physical labour. There are plenty of working class people in the 'South', including the South West.
@@SoftyArty The British drink tea at any time of the day - there is no specific 'tea time'. Afternoon tea is a meal, at the end of the afternoon, which can often be eaten with a drink of tea. Similarly a cream tea is food with tea.
The Royal Warrant is for the supply of goods to the relevant household, not the individual member of the Royal family. The TV Licence funds the BBC. You need a licence to watch iPlayer or even if you just possess a TV capable of receiving terrestrial TV signals. You need two licences if you have two homes. The reason washing machines are in the kitchen is that they always have been there, and washing clothes took place in the kitchen before machines became commonplace. It was likely to be the only room with a water supply, at least downstairs. Standard houses do not have basements or utility rooms. Early washing machines were not automatic: they needed filling from, and drained into, the kitchen sink, so, obviously, they were stored in the kitchen when not in use. When automatics came in in the 1960s, it made sense to plumb them in where the old machine had been stored.
The midday meal is called Lunch - but if it’s your main meal of the day, it’s also your Dinner!
The late afternoon meal - when you come home after school or work - is called your Tea - eaten at “teatime”. If, however, THAT is your main meal of the day, it’s also called Dinner.
I know this is confusing to Americans - but we grew up with this terminology.
When Canadian company Kraft introduced macaroni & cheese it was called Kraft 'dinner' in both Canada & the US - I assume this was the reasoning. While Kraft in the States removed the word 'dinner' (and distribution to the rest of the world didn't include it), Canada retained it. It's the same product but use of our term 'dinner' confuses Americans to no end because I don't think they realize that supper is the last meal but the biggest is dinner. I'm not sure why it confuses them since they say Thanksgiving 'dinner' even though I think it's typically eaten in late afternoon.

The TV license generates income for the BBC (TV, radio and online platforms) so there are no advertisements or extra product placements. You can watch a film without ads.
*Licence.
The Royal Warrant on products is simply to show that the king, or whatever other member of the Royal Family, likes this product so much that they place a regular order on it and have done so for at least the past five years - earning the manufacturer the right to print the “by appointment” coat of arms on their label.
All that does really is show the general public that this is a good enough quality product that royalty buys regularly - so it’s a kind of extra sign that it’s a quality item.
Zebra Crossing comes from the black and white stripes over the road.
Pelican Crossing is derived from PEdestrian LIght Controlled (PELIC). There are Traffic Lights to stop traffic that only work after a button on the pavement (side walk) next to them is pushed. That way the traffic is only halted when the crossing is needed.
Toucan Crossing comes from "Two can". The two in question being pedestrians and bicycles, the latter of which can be ridden across as against only pushed whilst dismounted.
The licence was fair when the UK had only two channels decades ago. One was funded by advertising and the BBC needed funds to produce programs without using ads. This is now an outdated concept as we have so many subscription channels. There are many who do not believe the BBC is impartial and would prefer it to be a subscription channel.
Teatime often means 'dinner' - more usually in the north of England and is a meal in the evening. Teatime is not to be confused with taking a break for a cup of tea, that would be called a tea break.

The washing machine in the kitchen is because pre ww1 a lot of british homes didn't have full indoor plumbing. You had the toilets outside and washed by the fire in a tinbath. eventually, the bathrooms came in side, but it was just off of the kitchen, so all the plumbing was downstairs, so it made sense to have the washing machine in the kitchen . My family home growing up was built in 1932 so even in the early 80s we had a downstairs bathroom and we washed our clothes in a twin tub washer, that you had to connect to the taps in the sink and put the outlet hose down the drain to let out waste water and you washed in one part and spun the water out in the second part. Then, when you have done with it, you put it away in the cupboard under the stairs. Due to the old infrastructure of plumbing and drainage in the uk the newer builds tend to have similar plumbing but most bathrooms are upstairs ,some have mud rooms with washers and dryers and then they have a extra toilet down stairs, some times in the cupboard under the stairs.
I never have been influenced to buy a brand because it has a warrant
Yep, fortnight is used just like you said, though another thing is that we’d say: come and visit, rather than come visit! She’s also confused the use of dinner. Up north, dinner is for your midday meal and tea is your evening meal, whereas in the south, lunch is your midday meal and dinner is your evening meal. It is regional. Dinner is not any food or meal. It’s either lunch or an evening meal depending if you’re northern or southern.
Only an idiot would drive 20 miles to visit a friend without pre-arrangement. They might not be at home.
Only an idiot would make this reply.
Back in the day people had set routines and didn't travel much and often gave "open invitations to visit" to people so it was pretty common to drive over to see a friend on a Wednesday afternoon when you knew they had nothing on usually.
These days people have much busier lives so it's not done.
@@ruk2023-- I concur, I would go (still do) to pubs to meet up with friends and acquaintances at certain times if need to catch up with them or just a chat without informing ahead as we worked on knowing there routine and they knew mine.
Fortnight is usually used in conjunction with holidays, ie "I'm having a fortnight in Spain next week", or "it's only a fortnight till Christmas"
I agree I t’s the most common use is in relation to holidays but I think we use fortnight as a time of measure more because we have the word! I often say ‘a fortnight ago’ or ‘in a fortnight’. Personally I do think of time (and my diary) in blocks of a week and two weeks, beyond that I have less structured thoughts. Perhaps it’s just me!!!
So traditionally back in older times, you had breakfast 6-8am, lunch midday, tea time 3-4pm , dinner 7-8pm and supper 10pm+, but in modern times most just have 3 meals, so the words have changed meanings a bit. Dinner is usually used for the largest meal of your day, so you can have a dinner at lunchtime, so then you'd use tea time/supper to refer to your evening meal instead of dinner. I think in modern times tea break is what your thinking of where we stop to have a cuppa, though that can be at the traditional afternoon tea time or anytime in your day.
What about second breakfast?

The crossings she mist are puffin and pegasus crossings. The differences the basic Zebra Crossings has striped markings in the road and flashing orange lights. Pelican Crossings have traffic lights and a button for pedestrians to signal they want to cross and then wait for the green light before crossing. Puffin Crossings are similar to Pelican Crossings but are more intelligent and use sensors to determine when pedestrians have finished crossing - often located near elderly homes. Toucan Crossings incorporate cycle crossings as well. Pegasus Crossings incorporate equestrian (horse) crossings and have buttons to signals you want to cross at normal pedestrian height and also a little higher for those on horseback.
Pelican Crossing is named from "Pedestrian Light Controlled Crossing".
Upper class people have breakfast around 7am, lunch 12pm, afternoon tea around 330pm, dinner at 7pm and supper at 10 pm
Working class have breakfast. Dinner is classed as lunch and having tea at 5pm as your main meal in the evening
The posh eat all day in small portions but working class eat 3 main meals
Road crossings are Pelican crossings
The pelican was initially introduced on UK highways in 1969 as a Pelican crossing (a blended abbreviation of PEdestrian LIght CONtrolled). It has traffic signals for drivers and pedestrians, as well as a push-button on either side of the road. The crossing is 2.8 meters wide by default. Pedestrians touch a button on the side of the crossing, and the traffic lights change from green to red after a short time, signaling drivers to come to a complete stop.
Zebra crossings
A zebra crossing, which resembles a zebra’s coat, is a pedestrian crossing that allows people to pass without the need for traffic signals
Toucan crossings
A toucan crossing is built for both walkers and bikes and is named for the fact that two may cross (and the Department of Transportation is creative). These are typically located along bike paths, and unlike other pedestrian crossings, mounted riders are permitted to use them
Yorkshire pudding is made of pancake batter with no sugar
Not a dessert. It's also known as toad in the hole which is sausage in batter
Television licence is a tax to pay for the use of transmission and making of programmes
How and when to eat in England lol.
Breakfast... First meal of the day.
Brunch... Morning drink/snack around 11am (also called elevenses).
Dinner/lunch midday meal, Hot meal would be dinner a cold meal would be lunch.
Afternoon Tea... Generally between 2pm and 3pm small snacks i.e. drinks/cakes/sandwich's.
Tea... Evening meal around 6pm-7pm normally the main meal of the day and would generally be a "family" meal.
Supper... late evening snack around 9pm (most people have tea/biscuits, cereals, or toast.
That's very regional. Sounds like you are from the north.
@@boulevard14 Is there anywhere else to be from ? lol
@InconSteveHable The south, the midlands, the east? 😂 Don't put down the midlands, we don't want to be part of this north/south divide shit 😂
@@boulevard14 Hahaa hey as long as you are North of the Watford Gap then you are safe, Anything else is negotiable lol..
Tea time depends on the part of the UK and time of day. My grand parents basically had an open door policy to visitors and no matter what time of the day you'd get a cup of tea and something to eat. The marked times were breakfast, morning tea (11ies), dinner time ~ 1pm, afternoon tea (3-4pm), tea time (a sit down meal ~ 6pm) evening tea about 8-9pm and supper before bed! My grandmother baked every morning for a range of breads (wheaten, soda, crusty) scones and buns which were eaten through out the day.
Take an Orange segment, bite it into half & break up the inside of the segment (Orange juice segments are called Carpels), you can see small sacks of juice (called juice follicles), these are actually the cells of an orange! It's these that are in *Orange juice with bits* not really what I call pith. It's delicious with bits!
Puddings are all sorts of foods, usually wrapped up in something else, hence Black pudding, Yorkshire pudding, etc. But saying just pudding, such as "Do you want your pudding" means a sweet pudding of all and any sort! A Pie usually has crust on top, sometimes the crust surrounds the pie as well.
Yeah, it's totally not what they're calling pulp. He even mentions that the pulp is slimy in texture and to me pulp is the white part between the outer skin and the fruit.
@@nailbomb420 The Americans seem to have a built-in prejudice of things they haven't tried, Beans on toast! because their beans are different than the ones we use they automatically think it's disgusting, calling the juicy bits in orange pulp? Do they have slimy mush in their orange juice? hmm doesn't sound good to me, but I would try it, I love Black pudding, Faggots (the English savoury food), Savory Duck (nothing to do with ducks, a bit like faggots), Scotch eggs, etc. But if you have never had one I wouldn't want to know their ingredients, Try one before pulling a face, you never know! I have never had Escargo (snails) or Frogs legs (Frogs legs!) but I'm willing to give them a try.
@@nailbomb420The white part is called the pith. Fruit 'pulp' is the flesh of the fruit basically pureed. So it wouldn't really have much texture. The 'bits' in that type of orange juice is what you'd get with just squeezing the orange, they haven't been pulped.
Tea time is more of a northern thing when referring to an evening meal. Calling an evening meal dinner is more southern/used by posh people.
We have NO pkug sockets in our bathrooms.. Can't plug a washing machine in in there
Yup, it's a safety thing. The line voltage here in UK is TWICE as high as the US and the rest of North America.
Where do you plug in a hairdryer? Any newly built or remodeled home in the US now has to have gfci outlets that protect again electric shock when next to water. They will shut off automatically if a problem occurs.
@@ukaly1 I use a hairdryer in the bedroom. Anything electrical in a bathroom has to be wired into the wall for safety by an electrician.
Tea-time was traditionally the last meal in the day but now most refer it to be the evening meal. Tea-Break [U.S. it's coffee break] is used for short refreshment period in-between main meals, but you don't necessarily have to drink tea.
Yeah,they do that with chocolate here in Denmark. I think all the scandi royals have the same seal. Marcipan from Anton Berg seemed to get it first. Toms came early too..
Yes, in Sweden too.
Actually you can put jam in a Yorkshire Pud, AMAZING 🤤
Yup, I grew up with that. My mum would make little individual Yorkshire and we always saved some to have after with jam.
My Yorshire cousin felt unwell at that
OR Goldrn Syrup and cream. 😮
The TV licence allows people to watch programs without ad breaks.
This allows the development of a long attention span, whereas people recognise that the majority of people consider that Americans have a TV induced attention span of a fly.
The lady is from Brazil but has developed a Welsh accent when speaking English.
Worth watching her videos on her reaction to the Welsh language and culture. There is also such videos from a lady that moved to Wales from Canada.
@@ukaly1 so what’s rude, she highlighted how her spoken English has now got a Welsh accent to it and that she also uses Welsh words and phrases.
Quite refreshing really, she explains it fully.
@@ukaly1 last time I checked the only nationalities I referred to were the Welsh, Brazilian and Canada. Last time I checked those countries were not American colonies
@@ukaly1 good won’t have to read your silliness again, do you think that the majority of TV watching Americans have a long attention span?
Seems that I am in agreement with the WSJ who have already picked up on this trait.
The Royal Seal of approval isn't a weird thing, many countries with a royal family have those.
When washing machines came/became popular in Sweden in like the 50ies, they were put in the kitchen, since we didn't have electrical outlets in the bathroom back then, but in the 60ies most of them were moved to the bathroom. It was quite popular to throw out the bath tub at the time, possibly to make room for the washer.
I love how Tyler asks us to comment, but it's well established that he never reads the comments
Houses are smaller, much older (Often Victorian) and largely made of brick, meaning that plumbing-in something that needs venting and water can be _very_ costly even if you have the space, hence using the location that always has water and often also has ventilation.
It once snowed in June in Oxford.
I remember snow in June and one week later we had a heat wave in the North East
Snowed in June's what? Jacuzzi? Hair? Wellington boots? General direction?
I moved to the UK from Iceland about 7 years ago and I never forget the first time a Brit asked me; "So what did you have for tea last night?" I honestly had no clue what that person was talking about. It had to be explained to me that she was asking me what I had for dinner.
You won't be allowed to forget about the TV licence. Don't worry about it.
Lol that's what I came to say.
@@rayaqueen9657 That is correct, think they've used a full tree for all the correspondence I get from them, weakly veiled threats mostly.
@@michaeljames1468 and not so veiled.
That's what I was going to say. There's no danger of forgetting it!
It is pretty toothless!
Breakfast, lunch, dinner and supper with snacks in between.
I'm a tea-aholic. Love my cuppas.
I wouldn't call my lunch my tea.
Dinner time is 5pm because that's what time we had it as kids. Some people have dinner around 7pm, others have it at 3 or 4pm.
Yorkshire pudding is something you have with a roast dinner and gravy. Not American gravy but British gravy. 😂
We have them with mashed potatoes, etc. We dip them in our gravy and put some potatoes in it. They're delicious.
The other day I had a sunny day and my daughter who lives by Liverpool had hailstones .
Tea time is your evening meal, lunch time is your midday meal. Often though you will get asked (by your mum) what you have had for dinner that day, this is usually referencing what your "main hot" meal of the day was. Eg. Breakfast is cereal or toast, lunch is usually sandwiches or something else light and a full cooked meal for tea. This can vary on Christmas where your Christmas dinner is at lunch time or late lunch around 3 in the afternoon or if you are maybe going out for a bday meal etc
Yorkshire pudding is a light crisp batter. Flour, egg, milk with a pinch of salt. This is cooked in the fat from the roast meat. Roast Beef with Yorkshire pudding is the essential Sunday Lunch Time Dinner. I cannot imagine eating roast beef without the crisp savoury flavour of Yorkshire pudding. When I was a little lad in the 1950s my mother would make a single massive Yorkshire Pudding and serve it with gravy as a starter. Meat was still in short supply after the war and so with the Yorkshire starter, we were full before the meat was served.
In harder times the Yorkshire pudding was served first to fill you up as the main course could be quite meagre.
Without bits in orange juice is called smooth.
We take the crosswalk names seriously because it affects the traffic flow and pedestrian safety
We get it Tyler. You won't ever use the word fortnight because you never go on holiday for a fortnight! Keep up the good work!
Some people get paid fortnightly. I do. Some even pay rent, make car payments, etc fortnightly.
@@artistjohunder PAYE terms it would be bi-weekly😉
The TV Licence ONLY APPLIES to Live TV broadcast programmes or using BBC iPlayer or any streaming applications that has "Live" TV. You do not need a TV Licence to watch Catch-up, On-demand and pretty much anything that is not "Live". You can watch Live content that is not from a broadcasting corporation for example; Watching Live content from an independent content creator on UA-cam does not require a TV Licence.
EDIT!!
I’ve done the digging. Look at my other comment!

Bru, I swear you reacted to almost everything on this list, just in separate “Brit culture” videos….
Imma do some digging.
People have always done the washing it the kitchen, you needed hot water which you boiled in the kitchen, the sink for draining. Due to the weather you can't really do the washing outside. All the plumbing goes through the kitchen and our houses are much smaller. The many of people live in what we call a 2 up 2 down, houses with 2 bedrooms upstairs and a kitchen and front room down stairs. Bathrooms have been added to most of these but they are small workers houses, often about 100 plus in age.
Even children and adults was washed in the kitchen sink, hot water and warm from the stove
growing up in Scotland, the main meals of the day were breakfast, dinner, tea, and supper where dinner was common name for lunchtime meal, tea was common name for evening meal (the main meal of the day), and supper was a late evening light snack before bed
I’m also Scottish. I had a fried breakfast of some kind seven days a week. For lunch I’d just have a sandwich the for tea (or dinner) I’d have a three course meal seven nights a week. We also had supper at around 9.30pm, usually two slices of cheese on toast six nights a week. None of my family were overweight. None of my family were alcohol drinkers - only on special occasions. My mother made home made wine. That probably put me off wine until I was about 24 years old.
To have a Royal Warrant was great advertising "hey look at my product, its so good even the Royals use it". They tend to go to British products/companies. Your TV licence is to ensure that everyone has access to quality TV and the news, its worth it just for the natural history shows alone, BBC has no adverts. All your pumbing used to be downstairs, near the kitchen and Brits tend to hang out their washing to dry and accessing the back garden tends to be via the kitchen so it makes sense to put it there. Breakfast, brunch, lunch, afternoon tea, tea, dinner, supper and all happen at different times. If it doesn't say anything in front of it pudding is your dessert regardless of what you're having, if it says black, yorkshire etc before its definitely not dessert
I wish I had £1 for every time Tyler has heard about the TV license. He reminds me of a goldfish I once owned.
😂
I know he does have a real medical condition not sure what it is but I and others had witnessed it, it unfair to laugh at someone with medical issues IMO.
@@TerenceSquires You're quite right, if he has. Apologies.
She's clearly been living in the North of England.
In the North breakfast means breakfast, dinner means lunch, tea means dinner, supper means supper.
I'm Cornish and for me it is breakfast, dinner, tea. Depending on class, it can be breakfast, lunch, dinner.
She's wrong - dinner is a meal that you can have at lunchtime, which is middle of the day, or at tea time, which is early evening. You can also have a late night dinner which will be late evening. Dinner can be used interchangeably with lunch or tea.
Reference the food time terms, here in the Uk it depends on where you are from or your level of class as to what you call meal times. T time was always evening meal time for most, however the posh or well to do families called it dinner or supper. Also we called lunch dinner time too, there is also a term ‘high tea’ which is practiced by the upper classes, it takes place around 4pm and is usually tea and toast or cake, it is there to tie you over til dinner time (around 7:45pm). So a lot of terminology changes depending on where you are from and your class level.
TV license is no more unusual than a fishing permit.
Except that you need to pay the BBC in order to watch other companies broadcasts but you don't need a fishing licence to catch other creatures.
Tea time, dinner time, and supper are all words which had their own meanings historically, however as time's gone on, the term which was used by that region most commonly for the main late meal has become prominent.
Tea time was 100% the time to drink tea with some simple sandwiches and cakes, and was set to about the mid-afternoon.
Supper was a later meal in the evening that was commonly served hot. Supper is what most people today would refer to as dinner.
Dinner was then your main meal of the day, so it varied by what job you'd be doing. For example, people with jobs that require a lot of callories might have had dinner for breakfast before having a smaller lunch and supper.
The TV licence is something that the BBC charges to pay for the programmes that they make because they don't have adverts interrupting the programmes.
There are four meals in Britain, breakfast, lunch, teatime (usually about 4.00pm), then dinner in the evening.
Nope.
@@ludo9234 why nope
Not the f%£&ing yorkshire pudding again!
Yep..my brain explodeth 🤯
The Royal Warrant pre-dates modern marketing. To get a Royal Warrant in the old days would have meant that you you had a significant commercial advantage over other tradespeople / purveyors.
Popover. ? Or Yorkshire pudding
Pelicon crossing. PE-destrian LI-ght CON-trolled crossing. It's not hard to understand.
Apparently, that was the original meaning used internally at the DOT and was never intended to be the official name. It became known outside the DOT and so well established that Pelican was adopted as the official name.
Breakfast then dinner time then teatime . If you're having afternoon tea that's a cup of tea with maybe sandwiches and cakes . And you can eat Yorkshire pudding with jam as well as with your Sunday dinner
Does a royal warrant influence buyers? No!
Unless you are Hyacinth Bucket, probably ;-P
Yes.
In Britain meal time are: Breakfast (self explanatory), Elevenses (usually as drink and snack around 11.00hrs), Lunch (usually between 12.00 & 13.30hrs), tea time is generally around 16.00hrs and Dinner is usually between 17.30 & 20.00hrs finally supper time which is when a light snack is consumed, along with something like hot chocolate just before bedtime.
