Fun fact: Shakespeare and Pocahontas existed at the same time, both lived in England and died only a year apart
For once a fun fact actually turned out to be exactly that.I haven't fact checked this yet, so please don't disappoint me because I really want it to be true 🤞
@@JSAnstock........... William Shakespeare (bapt. 26 April 1564 - 23 April 1616) Pocahontas (US: /ˌpoʊkəˈhɒntəs/, UK: /ˌpɒk-/; born Amonute, known as Matoaka, c. 1596 - March 1617) was a Native American ......... In 1617, the Rolfes set sail for Virginia; Pocahontas died at Gravesend of unknown causes, aged 20 or 21. She was buried in St George's Church, Gravesend, in England; her grave's exact location is unknown because the church was rebuilt after a fire destroyed it
U find Pocahontas lived during the Stuart's rain not the Tudors
I never knew that, that is a fact I’d like to use if true haha.
The Queen has rwo roles. The first is the ceremonial side and the constitutional side. Every day she reads the accounts of the Parliamentary debates. Any laws passed by the House of Commons do not become law until she signs the documents. Technically she can refuse to sign, but, to my knowledge she has never done so.
Hope this helps. Warmest regards.
The Queen actually receives a box every day containing all the important papers of state. She is probably the most informed person in the whole country. She meets weekly with the Prime Minister.
@@6timesbabyyy996 and what have you contributed to humanity?
@@leedsman54 More than that useless queen ever has. What a waste to life those royals are. Will never be my queen or kings
@@6timesbabyyy996 you support Liverpool, sit down.
@@cantthinkofaname3344 well Liverpool are the best
@@samantharichardson6956 not correct, both currently and historically.
Fun fact: The reason people in the UK drink so much beer is because it was safer to drink than water back in the day. All business was usually carried out in a Tavern whilst supping ale.
Just the same as egypt or rome or a lot of other places. Thankgod for the water services. Even tho we complain about them. 😁
I thought it was because we like to get pissed
@@branthomas1621 Try reading History.
And monestaries used to give monks lots of wine each day, given by he land owner, because they couldn't get to the pub
Yeah this is true, and common practice throughout history
The reason some kings wanted to ban football is that, in their day, it wasn't the organised sport that we know and love today. It was, instead, two neighbouring villages kicking the sh*t out of each other for a while, with the goals a couple of miles apart, or so.
It was basically a football game covering up a war.
Nothing much different then
They Kings wanted Football band because the Peasants weren't doing their Archery training.
@@peterbrazier7107 I was just about to say the same🇬🇧
Also they though archery was better for them due to the whole war thing

@@ritalamy5866 Now, is that really 'Spreading the love'? Naughty naughty :)
Can u really be one if u r still part of the commonwealth? Its just younger sibling love and sometimes hate lol.
"You all be drinkin'". Congratulations, you now fully understand the British nation.
Well, not so much. There's a hardcore % of drinkers in the country but also many of us who don't drink much or at all.
The weekend night pub kickout time gives the whole country a bad look to outsiders and Brits too.
@@Thurgosh_OG I'm glad it's not just me that thinks that. So many people think it's both big and clever to drink so much that not only do they behave like a complete bellend, but they end up 'regurgitating' whatever they happened to have drunk (plus food - probably a kebab), only to wake up a bit later feeling like death warmed up, whereupon they say "never again!", only to do exactly the same thing at the next available opportunity, and any others that present themselves for the next few decades (at least).
yep alot of us are plonkies
@@Thurgosh_OG correct I don't drink at all 🤣👌
i think scotland drinks the most
The speech bubble on David Cameron saying "I really fancy some bacon" made me cackle.
😂😂😂
Nearly wet myself when I saw that 🐷
Fun fact, there’s more pubs in Ireland than there are McDonald’s restaurants in Great Britain 😂 it’s so small it’s hard to get lost but if you do, you’ll probably never be far from a pub where you can get directions 😊 and people are lovely and helpful
I live in a very small town. If you walked along the main street and had a pint in every pub, you'd be pissed out of your skull at the end.
same here the town i live in in a part of ayrshire scotland isnt that big at all and our main street alone which takes no more than about five minutes at most to get from one end to the next or should i say from start to end we have atleast ten pubs so yip we certainly do love a good drink
Sounds like a good night !
Pretty sure that was my youth 🤣
Do you live in Newton Haven?
Sounds like my town.
Sir Captain Tom Moore raised £33m for the NHS last year during the pandemic which is the most raised in a charity donation but he sadly passed away a few weeks back 😞 RIP Captain Tom
And,...we still can't leave the house thanks to the ineffective NHS,...go figure,...pity Sir Tom didn't raise money for some worthwhile local charities, rather than it being totally wasted on the failing NHS (£158 billion forecast for 2020...but can't cope with Covid-19,..WTF?)
@@lonewanderer3456 it’s not the NHS that is the problem, it’s the government. Everyone in the NHS works incredibly hard. They get paid badly, but still do it because they care about people. Don’t be so disrespectful.
@@lonewanderer3456 Look to who manages the NHS - the Tories have for a decade. As for Sir Tom. He did not raise money for the NHS, that is a myth. He raised money for a seperate charity run by the NHS - "NHS Charities Together". There is no funding shared between the two organisations.
@@lonewanderer3456 I don't understand, did you expect a bunch of overworked doctors and nurses to come up with a vaccine in their spare time? It's a global pandemic, how are they supposed to just magically fix everything before the rest of the world? They work crazy hours and risk their lives for too little pay and you want to complain? WTF?
@@TheArg17 Maybe they could have. They managed to do plenty of tiktoks in their spare time. Even putting together dance routines when our hospitals were jam packed full. Dancing down the corridors while people lay in beds dying.
I was looking at england on Google maps and I was shocked about how many historical castles, manors and cathedrals there are
Wales itself has 4,000 Castles and remains.
I would say that in these troubled times ,the Queen is needed more than ever. Her speeches brings important issues to the public attention. She shows empathy to all that meet her, and she sets the example for behaviour for people to follow.
She is the greatest world leader living today.
God save the Queen xxx
I read this while crying .
fact 102 - in the town where i live, the longest and the shortest pub names in britain are found - next to each other! The Q Inn and The Old Thirteenth Cheshire Astley Volunteer Rifleman Corps Inn
Really we have The Sun
In Tilbury,Essex, there's a pub called " The End of the World"
@@Trebor74 well I know where I'm grabbing my next pint
Let me guess - Everyone just calls it "The Rifleman" :)
Stalybridge!
I'm a Brit and I'm finding this interesting too.
The umbrella/mobile phone thing on the Underground, it actually has a lost property department. At the end of every day, the trains are cleaned and whatever is left (lost) on the trains is kept in a lost property room.
Stonehenge was actually built 8,000 years ago.
Also, fun fact: the stones of stone henge were quarried 170 miles away, from a place called Preseli in Pembrokeshire. Nobody actually knows how the stone was taken from there to Salisbury. Also, that 170 miles includes a bridge over the river Severn, which obviously would not have existed back then. The actual trip would have been over 200 miles.
"Nobody knows".. nah, it is "nobody knows for certain" but rolling logs is one way to do it, rafts across water etc and those have been tested, been found to be most plausible. It has been quite an ordeal to transport them, a lot of it is unknown or uncertain but it is a bit too much to say "nobody knows", cause we have quite a good idea how they did it... Which is fair, there aren't that many methods they could've used. Just imagine how LONG it takes to get just one stone moved, it has been quite a massive commitment from the society that built them. A lot of extra grain were needed.
I think the contract to move the stones was given to Eddie Stobart".... ;-)
Avebury is 2500 yrs older and same stone!
Only the Blue Stones came from Wales, the Sarson Stone, the big ones are "local"
The “wizard” merlin had a magic staff that would levitate them blocks and propel them across the landscape.
We know but your not actually allowed to know the truth about most things known.
Knowledge is power and “we” have no power then “they” have all the power in the world ✌️
Me as a welsh person who speaks welsh listening to them trying to say welsh words 😣😂
Honestly same here 😂
You all did that to us on porpoise lol
Really embarrassing that you'd be British and produce a video about the UK and openly end Gwynedd with a 'd' sound.
Fi hefyd!
The Queen has done SO much actually as head of state. She continues to have weekly meetings with the prime minister, and ALL laws have to be passed by her (not thought up but approved)
This guy just gives off the best vibes fr, he doesn’t hate anyone and is just a good person in general!
2:33 The scottish flag is the way it is because of saint andrews crusificrion on an x shaped cross
I just got a little bit excited when I saw you didnt know what 'Only fools and horses' was.
I wish I could be just discovering it for the first time again. So many great episodes, you should give it a go.
Not specifically drinking, it's a meeting with mates ,talking having a laugh, dinner, and company
Hi, you mentioned the NHS and that we pay for it through taxation, which we do but FYI the percentage is approx 4% of gross salary ... pretty good value!
So what? Americans on average pay higher taxes, they don't even have a tax-free allowance unlike the UK.
@@borisjohnson1473 and your point is?

@ Boris Johnson don't be a clueless bellend like your name sake
The reason for the large amount of pubs on the UK is that back in the day, it wasn't safe to drink the water, so nearly everyone, kids as well, drank alcoholic drinks. Also the reason why pub signs have pictures and unusual names is because again back in the day most people couldn't read or write and relied on a picture to let them know it was the right place. The amount stated is less than it was because a lot have now closed owing to changes in habits and clean water.
On the subject of "soccer", the oldest football club in the world is Sheffield fc and was established in 1857.
Witch is not in Sheffield
Every prime minister meets with the queen once a week to discuss current events. almost all previous prime ministers have said that the queen is one of their most trusted and tactful advisors. She has been playing that role for 70 years so she's very familiar and experienced in politics. She has played a role in wars, resignations and all sorts of national disasters. Her first prime minister was winston churchill. Nobody knows how big of an influence she plays but for context, Harold Wilson was known to have disliked the monarchy but in the end of his term he was one of her biggest supporters.
Tony Blair doesn't, like them either
The Queen also plays a big role in international diplomacy. Especially at the moment with blojo as pm given that he has a tendency to insult people everytime he opens his mouth.
To add to this, the monarchy reserves the right to approve or disapprove Acts of Parliament. She can if necessary intervene, but has chosen thus far not to.
@@colinmayes5892 I think it's Tony Blair's wife who has the real dislike
“52,000 pubs, Yall do be drinkin drinkin” you don’t know the half of it
Certainly will be from June 21st freedom day 😄
@@jayjay4spurs woohoo
I like how theres probs more aswell
I'd be spending very other hour down the dickturpin lol
52000 pubs is why the us army gets issued a card saying do not gamble with the British do not drink with the British and definitely do not fight with the British you WILL lose. Lol. All our pub nights on one card.
Hi. Your reaction to haggis is hilarious because that was exactly my reaction when I first saw it. But then I tried chicken balmoral which is a chicken breast stuffed with haggis and then wrapped in bacon and I promise you the taste is what I can only describe as "ABSOLUTE FIRE!". Honestly it is soooooo good. You should try it.
I'm english by the way not scottish so I'm guessing that speaks for something too lol
The UK also has the longest pleasure pier in the world. Southend Pier & Railway is 1.33 miles or 2.14km long, despite being engulfed in flames several times (1959, 1976, 1995 and 2005) and having to be restored a few times.
(Mexico has the longest disembarkation pier, Progreso Pier, at 4 miles or 6.5km long).
The queen retains the ability to dissolve parliament, this is a good way of stopping despots or dictators, also aided by the fact the army’s head is the monarch, not the prime minister. Despite many complaining about the £50M/year the royal family are paid from taxes, they make many times this in tourism.
The Royal Family, also pay Income tax.
I feel like this video is definitely funnier for the brits watching... so many references. 🤣👌🏾🇬🇧

The shock & comment about the amount of pubs here made me laugh out loud. We used to have way, way more!!!!! Unfortunately due to the ban on smoking & now the pandemic has & is closing so many pubs it’s such a shame. Every pub had its own character & characters.
You can pretty much drink from what ever age as long as your parents are ok with it 😂😂no one gives a shite 😂
Edit : Most likes I’ve got on a comment ever , cheers guys 😂🙏

@louis george 😂😂 I didn’t know any until I worked in childcare. We do Welsh daily and over the years it sunk in “finally” 😂 Every weekend we would have a new Welsh song to listen too on UA-cam ready to teach on the Monday. Leek and potato soup to make tomorrow so a fun packed week with lots of dragons and Welsh ladies involved ☺️
Final fun fact: Shakespeare plays are full of sex jokes. They were written for a very working class audience. In Titus Andronicus, for example:
"Villain, thou hast undone our mother!"
"Villain I hath done thy mother!"
We used to have more pubs. A lot more. Another common name for pubs is the Black Horse, although the one near me is the Old Crown.
The queen does have power, but she doesn't really use it. She likes to remain neutral with the parties, but if she wanted to, she could do what she wants.
Good to see Americans learning about the UK!
@Basicarman wdym? There are loads of interesting/cool/ fun facts about the UK
To be honest, it's an American (singular) - albeit a good and fine (and funny guy), when a 2nd American learns something, I'll let you know.
@@gtaylor331 I have seen multiple americans reacting to uk stuff, so hence the plural
@@gtaylor331 Ooohhh...can I be number #2? I know lots of stuff about the UK. I've always been a fan. What I don't love is when people classify a whole nation as ignorant because they don't on average know much about the culture of a small country on the other side of the world. How much does your average British person know about Filipino or Brazilian culture? And sure they maybe know a bit more about American culture because a massive amount of English speaking media is American but even then that's superficial. Very few people I've known from other countries including the UK could point to my state (Lousiana) on a map or tell me any more about it's culture than Mardi Gras and New Orleans and there's a bit more to it than that. And the thing is, that's absolutely fine. There are too many places in the world for any one person to know all about all of them. What's not fine is stereotyping people based on nationality. If it was, there wouldn't be a point to me learning anything about British culture, I could have just stopped 25 years ago after I watched Mr. Bean and just assumed everyone over there was a bumbling idiot.
It's always good to see US citizens learning about ANYWHERE else in the world.... they seem very insular.

You´re correct in your assessment of the monarch as a ¨mascot." In fact, Parliament has run the country since (depending how exactly you define it) either 1660 or 1689. It´s interesting that the American rebels against Britain in the 1770s framed their campaign as a protest against the monarch, since the monarch had already really been only a "mascot" for about 100 years.
Not true she the Queen has to accept the new priminister, she always has we have yet to learn what happens if she dies not
@@christinecoates9449 so, remind me of all the laws directly enacted by the monarch since the 1688 Revolution then.
It should technically be the "Union Flag"... which is the flag.
The "Union Jack" is the flag when flown on a boat
on a ship....a boat in the royal navy is referred by a submarine
Wrong since an act of parliament in 1908. The Union Jack is now recognised as the flag of the nation.
Rose Tyler 👀
@@tmac160 thank you. I didnt realise this
@@robparfrey2039 No problem. In 1902 the Admiralty requested Parliament to have the Union Jack recognised and it took until 1908 to be enacted. Things move slowly here. The myth of the ship link never really died out from the 1803-15 Napoleonic Wars. Take care.

The Queen has an enormous amount of input and influence with the govenment, she is directed not to take sides in politics... but we all know that she does! Her role is to advise and guide.. she gets a box daily, of govenment papers, and a weekly visit from the Prime Minister of the day.
We use to go to a dodgy pub called ‘the cock and seaman’ was full of fantastic characters from the old dockers community, four teeth in the whole place 😂
We had one in our village too, called Finnegans.
Guaranteed lock in's, guaranteed pull, guaranteed snorting and guaranteed brawling.
Sure those were the best days of my life.
Pub near me..called The Black Cock🤭
one near me called the spread eagle, filth!
I thought the cock Inn was bad enough 😁
pretty sure someone told me once that they had one near them called fanny on the hill. Gotta love Britain
Speaking of pubs. My town has Britain's smallest pub called the nutshell
Ah! Bury St. Edmunds! That's not too far from me, I'm in Cambridge.
I live in Bury too
Nice. I wonder what people's reaction would be to the mummified cat hanging from the ceiling? Is it bad that it's nothing out of the ordinary to me now😂😂
In there every other weekend in the seventies from Honnington. One of the few places for a decent ale back then!
My small village used to have 21 pubs but now 1 but there are signs where they all were
The union jack is actually only called a union jack if it is mounted on the front of a battle ship with a wooden pole (jack). Other than that it is just called a Union flag.
We go to the pub all the time. It's normal as pubs usually also serve food and have a pool table. It's quite common to go to the pub for an evening meal with the family (including children) rather than getting a takeout. Or you can meet your friends for lunch. Also you can stay overnight in some pubs if they are called an Inn, same as a hotel.
I pay approximately £600 per month out of my wages for tax and national insurance, healthcare isn't free, We pay for it, just over a period of time and we can help others (elderly, young single mums or dads, those who can't work) who can't afford healthcare in the hope that their children will be paying their taxes too in the future. We sort of help eachother. There was a time that I needed help as a single mother at 17 but I pay back into the system now. It certainly isn't free. A quarter of my income goes on tax and national insurance
You're wrong about the union jack, it's been called the union jack for over a hundred years...

Glad you are impressed by our NHS. I worked 28 years for them.

There are some facts that I was not aware of. Great upload!
To be fair, in the Uk pubs aren’t specifically for just drinking it’s more like a causal restaurant?
I've seen so many pubs and hotels called 'The King's Arms' is it just me that sees so many of these?

The video wasn’t completely accurate, you have to be 18 to buy alcohol, you can drink at 14 if you’re at a restaurant with parents with a meal, and you can drink legally from age 5 in your own home
The law has changed for restaurants you have to be now 16 yrs to have a alcoholic drink with a main meal, 18yrs to buy alcohol & drink it; 5 years old to drink normally water down alcohol at home with parental supervision.

Theoretically, the role of the British monarch (king/queen) is to serve as head of state while the PM is the head of government. Practically though, the queen doesn't do much. She mostly delegates her duties to other senior royals (like Charles, the prince of wales) or to government ministers like the Prime minister.
Respect to an open-minded person like you.
Gotta react to all the different accents we have here. You wouldn't believe the difference between like Yamyams and Scousers
What's a yam Yam?
@@lesleyhawes6895 i may be wrong i think its black country? ima check and edit this comment
Edit: I WAS RIGHT
There’s actually castles in a lot of small towns including my home town , it’s pretty commonplace and it’s always funny to see tourists just staring at it in awe .
Re pubs. My dad used to give people directions using pubs. "Right at The Bull, then left at the Red Lion"
I live in Gravesend, Kent where Pocahontas is buried within the grounds of St George's Church. The church burnt down and the exact location of where she is buried was lost. The church is at the bottom of town in a nice quiet area. When the Disney movie came out, our little town was filled with visitors from all over the planet.
Haggis is actually delicious, the image in the vid did not show a haggis, not one that any Scot would eat anyway
i like my haggis grilled before serving. brings out something extra in the flavour and adds a little caramelized crunch that helps break the soft baby food nature of haggis neeps and fluffy mash tattie.
At least it wasn't tinned haggis they showed. That stuff all needs to be found and shot off into the nearest back hole 😂
Our local up here in Aberdeenshire does haggis balls in bread crumbs on a bed of fondant potatoes and turnips... with a rocket salad and whisky sauce. Possibly the best thing i have ever eaten.
Spread love . JT I enjoy your enthusiasm. Keep it going
Just discovered your Chanel absolutely love it I live in Glasgow Scotland and just subscribed to your Chanel 👌🏼🏴👌🏼
Haggis is lovely (said from a non-Scott).
Damn Wright
By taste it's pretty much akin to an American meatloaf...I love the stuff, and I'm English...
@@cogidubnus1953 Never had meatloaf. I assume it's like most of this kind of food. If you get a good one it's gorgeous but if you get a bad one it's horrible.
You are so correct!
I agree. Haggis is delicious.
As for a tatt, how about the British Airways logo (a Union Jack blowing in the wind)? Maybe if you flash it to the nice lady at the check in desk on the BA London flight, she'll upgrade you to First Class. Or maybe she'll have you removed by airport security...
Depends where the tatt is. X
Loved the commentary🇬🇧

@@DumDum0608 Scottish person in the chat! Welcome Scotland! 🏴🇬🇧 I am a resident in Scotland but I don’t speak Scots a lot beuy.
@@DumDum0608 naw it comes wae hair n wan leg wee'r thin eh rest 😂
Its shite
When u think of apples u think red but when u think apple flavoured u think green
Granny Smith apples aren’t red, neither are golden delicious.
No.. I just think green
Why
fun fact: Hot Fuzz was filmed in a similarly small city- Wells. It's practically a country village with a fuck off big cathedral in the middle of it. (It's CGI-d out of Hot Fuzz) It's also where the director and writer of the film grew up.
union jack is only the flags name when flown at sea, its called simply the union flag when flown on land
I’m so surprised national animals weren’t covered in this video...England’s is the lion, Wales’ is the welsh dragon and Scotland’s is a unicorn 🤙🏻
"Yeah I lived in the land of the unicorn" how to embarres yourself but too late I already did it
All my Scottish homies 🦄

"there's a sock in my hole"
that's going into my quote book
Here's another one....."Who's coat is that jacket"
@@DumDum0608 ... Coats are not jackets, and jackets are not coats.
How does that work? It’s a question of length. Jackets are shorter. Think of where styles like a denim jacket, bomber jacket or quilted barn jacket fall. While lengths are different for men and women’s outerwear, they generally hit around or just below the waist.
Now think of a coat. Something like a down coat, a trench coat or a peacoat. These pieces of outerwear fall lower, anywhere from mid-thigh to even below the knee. This allows them to function as heavier-duty pieces of outerwear.
