You would get the British more as Jamaica was a British colony before you were born but it would have rubbed off on your parents generation until 1962. We all love your upbeat and sunny ☀️ personality Island girl. ❤
The pop culture is strong in the UK, because we live on a small island(s) and we watch and listen to national tv and radio, see the same things in the newspapers etc so we know if we make any reference to any of that 'culture' everyone understands. It's probably not true in larger countries. Well that was another nice reaction Island Girl. It's a joy to watch you. Love from the UK
The pub is more of a social experience rather than just going there to get pissed. Most people have a local pub that they frequent & they get to know the owners & customers who become part of your extended circle of friends. Some people go for 1 or 2 pints after work to decompress, wind down & relax. The weekends can get a bit rowdy & some people are what we would call "Beer monsters". My old local "The Dog & Duck" in Denham was filled with funny characters. Our dog "lady" would get excited when we asked her if she wanted to go to the pub. As soon as we opened the car door she would run into the pub & before we even walked in she would be drinking a bowl of Guinness & crunching on ice cubes.
Hi. We use partner in Ireland as well. It means more than just saying girlfriend or boyfriend and wife or husband. They sound detached. Partner is like a lock.
Hi IG, accents as Alana was saying, they vary in very short distances here in the UK, Anglophenea have someone doing a Liverpool accent (a very good video it is too), now Manchester is 30 miles from Liverpool, but the accent is entirely different, honestly you wouldn't believe they were from the same country. Take a look at Manchester accents (don't use Wolters World please, he makes more mistakes than the times he is correct, never trust his videos, likewise Lost In the Pond, he is from quite close to where I am from, he has lived away from the UK for too long to be relevant with UK culture), please find a Manchester based video to get an idea of how different two accents are in such a short distance in the UK, take care :)
Brit humour is far from dry, that's just one single facet of the full width and depth of Brit humour and totality of all possible humour, all other cultures have only different smaller parts of British humour and many cultures don't have many of the different types of humour we do.
Oakey Cokey is a dance "put your left leg in put your left left leg out,in out,in out do the oakey cokey with me" etc using different parts of the body,she obviously mis heard him say hokey dokey.
@robertobrien5709 I refer to my other half as my partner. He is my partner. I'm far too old to have a boyfriend or fiance. He's my partner in life and we don't find it demeaning
I am a foreign language teacher . This things not meaning the same is common there to , the French. Formidable and the English Formidable don't mean the same thing . If children do well in a test a French auntie would say Formidable meaning Great Excellent Brilliant . While climbing Everest is Formdiable . Difficult challenging daunting in plain English.

Alanna is Canadian. Canada still has King Charles III as King of Canada.
So does Jamaica neither country has become fully independent.
Somehow I'm pretty sure she knows about the history of Jamaica
We say oakey dokey in the uk.
The British sense of humour is not dry...... it is arid!
My partner is Spanish and even after 10 years he still doesn't always get my sense of humour and sarcasm.

The saying is oaky-doky it means OK. When something is easy you would just say Simples. No right or wrong way, just different.
We also say "Piece of cake" or "Sweet as a nut" to describe something is easy. It depends on what floats your boat
Canada's close enough to the US that low context English is dominant these. Aussies and Kiwis still fit right in.

partner is unambiguous you never know if there male/female or whatever its safe
In the world of the metric system the pint still exists.
The other half is more common where I'm from lol

Great Video!
Partner sounds more affectionate than flat-mate, lodger or co-habitee .
Thanks for sharing

Very rarely hear anyone refer to their other half as their partner as its demeaning and disrespectful.
