- As an American I'll admit that we do our fair share of weird things, however the same can certainly be said to Britain as well. Today I am very excited to continue learning about 19 weird and interesting things that only British people do. If you enjoyed the video feel free to leave a comment, like, or subscribe for more!
Baked beans were declared an "essential food" during WW2. So they were not rationed. Which really boosted their popularity in the UK. They are also a "comfort food", as many kids grew up being given baked beans when they wouldn't eat anything else. Seaside rock is a traditional holiday sweet, as they make them with the name of the resort running all through down middle.
Baked beans are delicious, for sure, but anyone viewing them as "comfort food" either has never shared a bedroom with a brother, or is lacking in olfactory senses. 😂
@@t.a.k.palfrey3882 they comfort my tummy by letting out the bad gas it just doesn't comfort others
can literally put them on anything.
We have lots of soft sandy beaches here in England, also across all the UK. Some of our beaches are beautiful with miles of sandy beach. We are an Island, we have beaches everywhere. There are shorelines/beaches with stones and rocks also, but they are usually near cliffs etc, and are generally inaccessible or not often used.
Bognor, Worthing and Brighton have beaches that are pretty much all stones (except when it's really low tide) and there aren't any cliffs nearby.

Shingle beaches such as Brighton and Hastings, often appear, at first glance, to have cleaner waves breaking over them but this is mainly due to sandy beaches causing the sand seabed mixes up and makes the water look dirty As for the seawater being cold, once in it up to your shoulders, it does not seem as cold . The shivers only occur after coming out of the water burp then a nice hot cup of tea soon warns us up.
Re beans on toast.
Beans on toast are great
Now I am hungry for beans on toast. Lol
Yes Lol..Tyler won't read the comments, he never does, but now thinks every British beach is rocky 😂
@@joannemoore3976 I agree. I would like to ask him why he never responds to comments but i suppose that is a no no if he doesn't read them . Wish he would as i like his personality.

Beans on toast and fishfinger sandwiches are the best.
Fishfinger's sandwiches are lovely and beans on toast is lovely with a little grated cheese on top yum
Being really greedy beans, egg on toast perhaps a little sprinkle of cheese 🤭
Fr
Cheesy beans on chips is soooo good
“Yeah well I think putting beans on toast is better than putting bullets in children”
Exactly !!
Absolutely 😊
Nothing is better comfort food on a cold miserly day than hot ‘beans on toast’ with grated cheddar cheese on top! Delicious! 😋😍
Add Worcestershire Sauce to that and....perfection. 😋😅
I love this yummy 🇬🇧🇬🇧
Some tight people kind of wait until they think the next round will be the cheapest.
If there are ten in your group, ten rounds would make you very drunk.
It's part of friendship to buy rounds of drinks. If someone doesn't have the money, it doesn't matter we just look after each other. A round means everyone has a drink. If you want extra, you buy extra. We don't take advantage of each other.
It's also because we have to go to the bar and wait to be served and bring the drinks back, if each person went to the bar individually you would never have all of your group together.
Swirly finger in the air stating same again is the norm. If someone is skint, they may be skipped but it is never mentioned in the group. However, if someone is taking the mick, it is mentioned the next day to the others in the group - they are then a real tight arse.
"Britishes", is not a word. Probably a spelling mistake or a poor attempt at "Britishers" which some think is an insult, due to a lack of education. A few here don't like it, but "Brit" is fine as an abreviation as far as most are concerned?
The correct term is "Briton" but it is much less frequently used these days in informal conversation than when I was young. "Brit" is a johnny-come-lately word which had a pejorative sense when it first arose (usually to describe British people who misbehaved abroad or were an embarrassment to their fellow countrymen e.g. by making a head-covering from a knotted handkerchief).
I don’t think it’s that important that you need to correct it 🤦♀️😂
I’ve heard of many words for Brits, but I’ve never heard ‘Britishes’ in my life.
It IS important!
I find it interesting that Tyler is not aware that in the South West of the USA, Mexican breakfasts commonly have beans, (or frijoles). I think he needs to research US culture as well as UK culture!
Absolutely! I've had delicious Mexican breakfasts in Seattle and California. This guy's ignorance of everything is astonishing.
@@richardjones4466 Wilfully ignorant woud be my guess.
@@carlapocock3849leave him alone
There are some very nice sandy beaches in the UK, Scotland has some really beautiful beaches ❤
So does kent :)
Buying rounds makes sense in the UK because we don't have table service in pubs. So if everybody bought their own drinks at the bar, the bar staff would be completely swamped. Also getting a table for your group is the most important thing to do first when you arrive. Then keep enough people at the table to defend any empty seats, and stop another group trying to take over the table.
Then you get the "Vultures" that stand and subtly monitor your table. Also, the coaster over the glass tactic works for protection lol
I used to go to the cinema, and then the pub with a couple of guys from my office. One of them really didn't like me for some weird reason. So whenever it was my turn to buy a round, he always ordered the most expensive German wheat beer. Otherwise, he drank bog standard lager.
should of told him to f**ck off, job done.@@corringhamdepot4434
Britain has 4,000 miles of coastline (if measured at a normal human scale) and the beaches vary from miles of golden or white sand to sharp rocks or round pebbles or even rocky ledges and cliffs that plummet straight down to the water. It depends on where you visit.
Beans on toast isn’t necessarily just a breakfast food but just a general meal that can be had at any time of the day. It comes from WW2 as it was a cheap protein and warm.
These days its still very much a staple meal among those of us who are amongst the “lower classes” since its still fairly cheap but you’ll spot all types of people eating it as a general comfort food every now and again too
It's a godsend as well when the kids are hungry and you're so tired you could cry.
A minority of working-class Brits still eat this, despite WW2 rationing ending in the 1950s. The majority of us shake our heads as our palettes have moved beyond that of a 5-year-old. If you want to put something on toast cut a French stick into 6-12 inch portions, slice them down the middle, grill them then add any combination of cheese, sliced tomato, ham, mushroom etc and put back under the grill. French bread pizza.
Personally, I'd consider beans on toast more a lunch dish than breakfast
@@jonathancauldwell9822 Oh please! You are either a delusional snob or you never had to worry about money. Either way, you are missing out on something that tastes just as good today as it did 30 years ago - and MOST BRITS enjoy it., not just the 'working class'. What gives you the right to be insulting?
When Americans criticise the English language, then call it British 🙄
The traitors. Mexico is in America. In the United States nobody eats Beans LOL LOL.
Beans on toast is cheap, filling and quite nutritional being high in protein.
And if the bread is wholemeal or granary you get fibre too. Mum and dad didn't have a lot of money when we were young so beans or fish fingers with a fried egg was a meal we looked forward to.
Easy to make, with most basic kitchen.
Also can taste good.
Sandwiches - I think there is a more general wierd thing than specifically fish fingers in sandwiches. Basically if it's edible , then someone has made a Sandwich of it. Curry, Chilli, Spag Bol, Chips, Crisps, Mashed Potato, Banana, Sugar (who remembers sugar sandwiches?) the possibilities are endless.
Don't forget a meat and potato pie butty or barm!
Sausage sarnie, bacon buttie, egg buttie, prawn cocktail sandwich.
Brown sugar, head cheese, tongue, HP on sardines, liver and onions, pickled eggs, kippers, dead chicken, steak and kidneys, bangers, maple syrup, mushy peas, black pudding, cod tongues, pork rinds, bugle trout.
British person reacts to American things that are considered “weird”:
Building homes out of wooden framed contiboard and wonder why their homes get destroyed or blown away during hurricane/tornado season (doesn’t happen with out “weird” brick built ones…😉)
Complain about British food being “bland” - completely forgetting that their own USA food has to be smothered in some kind of unidentifiable sauce, so that the consumer cannot taste the product in its “normal state”, which is full of additives, colourings and seasonings that are banned in the rest of the world
The puzzlement that in the UK and Europe, that fresh eggs do not need to be stored in fridges due to eggs not ordinarily being washed in antiseptic waters and having the eggs’ “protected coating” removed
That fresh chicken is proudly advertised on supermarket shelving as being “salmonella free” (but obvs costs more)
Two reasons for round, the first being that we have to queue at the bar, and people spend less time together, if everybody has to queue individually.
The second reason is that we always prefer to see friends, and prefer them to come along, rather than stay at home if they are broke. With rounds we look after each other.
There are a lot of unwritten rules for rounds, to keep the costs balanced.
If I am meeting a friend, and they purchased two rounds last time, I would be the first to buy a round next time.
If a friend comes along with their girlfriend, who you do not know, he may buy the first round, and may buy a couple of drinks in one go. The next time you see her, it would be rounds as normal.
If you enjoy a much more expensive drink than everybody else’s, you may buy yourself a couple, and drop out of the rounds, only order the much more expensive drink on your round, or you buy two rounds for every one they buy.
If somebody is having a bad time, or their money is tight, if a few of you out, people may just buy theirs, or during their round people order cheaper drinks, or say there are three of you, they will get the third round, as a good chance you will not be getting a sixth round, so they only pay once.
That said, if somebody has lost a job, girlfriend, or whatever, or their birthday, then everybody would just cover them.
If somebody is only drinking soft drinks, and everybody else is on alcoholic drinks, then the soft drinks person would not join in with rounds.
If they are the designated driver, then others will pay for their drinks.
If I am with my wine drinking friends, then we buy a bottle at a time, but you buy what you feel financially comfortable with, and nobody ever says a thing.
Have been on nights out where one person has purchased a £14 bottle, and the next a £120 bottle.
If we are having a meal, and somebody orders more expensive food, then a good chance they will throw more in to the pot, and call it a ‘tip’., or they will separately buy a bottle of wine for the table.
If one person has obviously only purchased very cheap food, it is fine to say your meal was a lot cheaper throw the cost of yours in, and we will plot the rest.
Or for somebody to ‘remember’ that they brought a round in the past, and volunteer to cover their food.
Allowing another customer to go first does not apply only in pubs, but more generally in shops etc, especially if one customer has only one or few items, while the other has many things. To let them go first is sensible because it saves time. Only the beaches in parts of the south east are stony, the vast majority of British beaches are good soft sand. It's your own fault if you take food outside where the gulls can be tempted. They like a free feed, & are useful for cleaning up after people who drop stuff all over the place. Patron is Latin, so has a short a so the British way is right.
Gentry used to be educated privately, often at home, then schools were started as separate institutions, which were 'public'. Only much later in the Victorian era was education made compulsory,
creating state schools.
All the cowboys in old movies in the US have a diet of beans.
Butties - buttered bread - sandwich. Fish are not wooden, so they don't have sticks either! Fish Fingers are breaded pieces of fried fish.
It is still not wise to drink from hot water, or mixed hot/cold water taps, because of the risk of Legionares disease etc.
If you don't want to join the round buying system when in a group you only have to tell your group at the start. The UK never serves beer in pitchers, it would go flat & warm. Also drinks have to be served in fixed measures, i'e pints etc. Going Dutch in the UK means the female in a couple helps her male partner to pay for food & drink etc.
instead of expecting him to pay for everything all the time.
Public schools are of course not the opposite of private, but of church schools, which trained boys for the priesthood.
We don't call people *_jerks_* in the UK lol.
In fact, I remember getting on a train and I was putting my luggage in the luggage rack, and these two rude American ladies asked if they could get past me (for some reason) and I said "no, you'll have to wait" and they called me a "jerk".
The train was busy, so I sat at a table next to a businessman and opposite two other people (one of them being my Mum) and I said "apparently I'm a jerk" and all 4 of us at the table had a good laugh about it 😆
OMG these guys are clueless. Norfolk, where I'm from, has mostly sweeping, sandy beaches and there are loads more all over the coastal regions of the UK. Rock isn't on sticks its usually a peppermint-flavoured, hard cylindrical shaped, pink on the outside and white in the middle, with writing through the middle of the place you buy it from.
Oh I so glad that I am not the only one that thinks they are clueless
Yes, Norfolk has some great beaches as does Lincolnshire and Yorkshire, in fact right along the East Coast the beaches are lovely and sandy. Worst beach I know of is Brighton on the South Coast, its nothing but pebbles.
Rock Candy and the British Stick of Rock are two different things.
A seaside Stick of Rock is about 10 inches long 3/4 of an inch in diameter, made almost entirely of boiled sugar with usually mint flavouring and various colourings, often with the name of the seaside town apparently written on the end but actually running the full length within.
The British Stick of Rock was apparently designed to keep dentists in work.
We do have a lot of sandy beaches in the UK there are approximately 1500 beaches, around 500 of them sandy although many are tiny and or inaccessible, at least 60 are large and well equipped for tourist use.
The reason private schools are called public is as usual historic, technically a public school is an independent boarding school, but any further explanation will take too long.
You can put almost anything in a sandwich, as far as a lot of students and confirmed bachelors are concerned putting fish fingers (fish sticks) in a sandwich saves on the washing up of knives, forks and plates
Butty is a more northern English slang word which is derived from buttered bread sandwich.
There is an unwritten etiquette to the business of getting a round in, which is way too complex to fully explore here.
You need to do a top 10 video of the best British beaches. We have some unbelievably nice beaches. We are an island after all lol
He doesn’t read the comments
@@fatsam2564 Oh well i guess he wont see that video lol
Don't knock it unless you've tried it! Baked beans, fish fingers yummy!
At a guess the one beach they went to was somewhere such as Brighton which has a shingle beach. That's the only stone covered beach I've ever been to. I live 10 minutes from the coast and the beach is sandy as most beaches are. Where land in any country meets the sea you don't automatically have a beach. Seaside Rock is just a stick of hard candy. Fish Fingers aren't fish sticks, it's fish in breadcrumbs shaped into 'fingers'.
🤣.... I was thinking the exact same thing. The only beach I know that's all stones and pebbles is Brighton, Hastings a little further down the South Coast is a pebbles and sand/shingle beach. Apart from those all the other beaches I have been to have been lovely soft sand, Taunton, Woolacombe, Skegness, Blackpool, Scarborough, Holkham, Mablethorpe, Porthcurno, Saunton sands, Blackpool sands (South Devon), Botany Bay, West Wittering, Barafundle Bay and Rhossili bay being just some of them.
Alot of the Essex beaches are shingle for at least half the beach, Harwich is a big example of this
These two are getting everything wrong 😂
The bread and the beans taste different in the UK. Much more savoury than similar products in the US
Brit here. First; no such word as Britishes. It's Brit or the full word is Briton.
Secondly, the buying the round thing is absolutely proper etiquette in pubs in a group, however I discovered another dimension when going after work with colleagues is that a manager will buy a round, once its my turn they physically stop me from doing it. I didn't understand this behaviour at first but soon discovered the managers were incredibly narcissistic and the act of them paying for your drink was some weird power play from them. It was almost like they didn't want someone "beneath" them in the company buying their drink. Needless to say that was a toxic company.
where I used to work, we got evacuated by a fire further down the building (an old industrial revolution era mill) and lo and behold, we ended up in the nearest pub. boss asks me what do I fancy because 'don't know how long we're going to be here for'. I hate lager with a passion, so opted for a pint of guinness. I wish I could've taken a picture of his face!! 🤣
both he and his brother felt rough after drinking half a pint of what they usually have. I was stone-cold sober and my boss hated me for my capacity to avoid hangovers. 🤣
because I used to go drinking more on a Sunday (was going out with a guy who played football and we'd meet up either before the game or in the pub afterwards when chucking out time was 3pm) and again out drinking all Sunday night. never went into work with any sort of hangover and so I was looked upon as either a liar, or someone with an incredible gift for not hanging onto the effects of alcohol. had it not been for the guy in another workplace we used from time to time who was on the same team as my then bf, I had to be believed.
and I was hated more and more.
so I quit that job. 😁
British beaches are not banks of sharp rocks, yes you do get pebble beaches, but we have TONNES of beautiful beaches. Rock isnt like rock candy, its a tube of hard candy, its usually striped and has a pattern in the middle. And yes, you will get attacked by a seagull, just dont let them win.
Beans on toast is common in NZ as well, I loved it. Especially if you add cheese. Note, "beans" refers to baked beans in tomato sauce, not green beans or Mexican type beans.
Buying rounds in NZ usually consists of buying jugs of beer. Someone just grabs the jug that's nearly empty and pours it into the glass with the least beer in it then takes all the empty jugs on that table back to the bar to refill them. When they come back to the table you just help yourself to any jug to fill up your glass. When all the jugs are empty again the next person takes them to the bar to refill, and so on. How fast or slow you drink your beer is up to you but the jugs get refilled when they're emptied.

Beans On Toast is a quick and easy food and in the days before Microwave Ovens and chilled or frozen Ready Meals it became common as it was relatively quick to make.
My personal favourite is toast spread with butter which in turn has a very thin layer of Marmite spread on top. The beans go on top of that and finally a layer of grated cheese. Delicious! 🙂
Baked Beans were first introduced into the UK by a certain Mr Heinz and were sold at the very upmarket Grocers Fortnum And Mason who also supply the Royal Household. During world War II the Battle of the Atlantic drastically reduced the amount of imported foodstuffs, especially meat, so the beans (which are Haricot beans) which are high in protein were classed as a valuable food item.
The sharper the cheese the better
There was a comedy on British TV called " Father Ted" and one character called Mrs Doyle is so insistent that she pay and her friend is also so insistent that it ends in fisticuffs. It's set in Ireland and it takes the " no, you" business to extremes.
Craggy Island .... 😂.... great TV show Father Ted is.
He should definitely do a video on Father Ted 😂
the episode is 'the mainland'. brilliant episode!! 🤣
I’ve never seen or heard such a clueless couple they seem to take a lot of misinformation about British life and try to put a spin on it 😮
They have travelled a lot in Europe & lived in the UK for a while. They're just reading out a reddit thread.
@@ruthfoley2580 And they are laughing at the Reddit comments.
Created in the late 19th century, "British Rock Candy" are typical traditional minty seaside fare which is usually a long tubular hard candy often with the name of the area/seaside printed through the middle and can be multicolored. Normally taken away as a souvenir or used as gifts. Similar to American candy cane (without the cane curve and the banned ingredients).
Fish fingers and fish sticks are completely different. Fish fingers are covered in bread crumbs and are deep fried. Fish sticks, you don't typically cook and are pink and white as the don't have bread crumbs covering them.
It's only 'pay-tronise' if you frequent a place, service, club etc. You are a patron.
If I'm talking down to you, it's 'pa-tronise'.
We do have sandy beaches 😐
Thank you.
Beans on toast are just one of many foods British people put on toast. Fried, poached, or scrambled eggs, fried mushrooms, fried tomatoes, fried liver, fried kidney, cheese on toast, beans on toast etc. they date from a time that something hot on toast was a hot meal when more could not be afforded and were a step up from a family favourite of dripping (or mucky fat) on toast.
British Public schools date back to Pre-Norman Britain and as early as the Sixth Century A.D.. Many were re-founded over the next thousand years and were primarily sites of education for common people wanting to enter the clergy and were "public" because they did not consider place of origin, father's occupation, or status when admitting a new student. They were prestigious places of learning and by the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries had come to cater to the rich. The Public Schools Act 1868 meant the schools no longer had to admit students who could not pay and created the system of today where British Public schools are largely home to the children of the wealthy, though there are still places available for scholarship students. This is obviously a very brief overview.
Don't forget about spaghetti on toast .... 😋
@@martinwebb1681 Of course, my Italian ancestors would disown me.
Only foreigners, when I say foreigners I mean Americans, say the term "Britishers" no one in Britain would refer to themselves as that, it a totally lazy made up word, we're British or Britons never Britishers, take note Americaners 😂
1. Britishes... Not a word used here in the UK. 2. We have lots of sandy beaches. 3. Only drunk, unobservent people won't know who was already at the bar before them when you arrived. 4. Supermarket queue jumping...people have died for less! 5. Beans on Toast. These are baked beans in tomato sauce, Heinz baked beans are the most well known. 6. Fish fingers... Kiddies favourite. Fish cut into finger size pieces covered in breadcrumbs, these are bought as frozen food. Fish sticks are something very different. 7. Water taps...yawn. Not seen separate taps in new builds. 8. Drinks rounds. You can opt out, but you need to do this before the round starts. Damned is the person who leaves the pub before they've paid for their round.
As someone from the UK I've never found the no you thing an issue. also the beach's by me are golden sand and yea the seagulls wont just fight you, they will damn your unborn children.
The seagulls have a dance-off with the pigeons in the attic of my flat, you can hear them at all hours.
Alfred Hitchcock, film the "Birds" was based on a true story on a British beach with some fish and chips in your hand. At least that was my experience in Redcar!
@@HoleyMoleyAlex I've sat and watched herring gulls fight over a portion of discarded chips hanging out of a nearly full litter bin (somewhere along the NE coastline) and it was free entertainment while I was sat eating my lunch one time (there were other times, but that one incident stuck with me)
🤣
Public school was open to the middle classes who could pay the fees. Royalty and the nobility had private tutors for their children in their own homes. State schools were set up in the 19th Century for the working classes. The state schools were free for both boys and girls.
Here in Germany a "round" implies that everybody (who is included) gets the same. So its not a beer for one person and champaign for another. This way cost stays more or less equally spread among the participants.
And the english food.... it often tastes better than it seems from the name. Yeah, fish fingers is the normal name for that, I never heard a Brit say "fish sticks". In Germany we say Fischstäbchen, which kind of translates to fish sticks.
Here in Scotland I don't know anyone who goes in for buying a round. Small groups at different tables out money into what is called a Kitty. Someone writes down everyone's choice of drink and then one person each time goes up and gets all the drinks on the list with money from the Kitty. If people are getting bottles of wine then they don't join the Kitty and get their own.
@@Jinty92 Also here its more a thing among a group of friends, not for the entire pub. And traditionally there was just the standard "set" - a small beer and a shot - no fancy drinks. So "a round" meant a beer and a shot for each person in the group.
For spending a round for the entire pub, many pubs have a bell on the counter. If you ring that, you have to buy a beer for everybody in the pub. Do they have that in Scottland as well?
The popularity of Baked Beans started due to the marketing genius of an American: Mr H. Heinz. He had a few cases of baked beans and the whole of London to conquer. What should be his strategy? So he decided to go to the top. He went to a high-end store (I can’t remember which one perhaps Selfridges?) and somehow persuaded the buyer to take the lot. By the time he imported his next batch, High Society had decided it was a luxury food, and it was in high demand. What the toffs ate was in high demand by everyone else as well, so Heinz Beans became a luxury brand across the UK. All thanks to one genius marketing decision. Clever man. Mr Heinz.
“Butties” are sandwiches (bread & butter with a filling) For example. Chip butty is chips or as Americans call fries in a sandwich or fish finger butty is fish fingers on bread & butter. Both taste amazing. If you haven’t tried them you’re missing out big time, 😊😊. We usually have them with ketchup
You first.
No, you first.
No, you first.
You were here first.
That's alright, you first.
No, you first...
British baked beans in a tomato sauce, are unlike similar products in the US. The beans are pre-cooked and quite soft and the tomato sauce is sweetish and mild but not American sweet? If you have a PO Box, I'm sure someone will send you some to try.
Yeh could do, but I think the envelope would be a bit soggy by the time it got there.😆
Seagulls have evolved basically into flying muggers . Walk along the seafront carrying an ice cream or fish & chips and you are never alone . . . There are many sandy beaches in the UK. and the shingle ones are small pebbles , rounded by the sea .
Yes, my kids when young used to call seagulls "aerorats".
I feel like I see more seagulls in city’s than my local beaches in west wales they figured out that maccies and Berger king ect don’t really go water front 😂 and people don’t put their food in the bin properly so easy to take their was loads when I visited Hereford
The Swan breaking your arm is a myth. They have hollow bones and would break their own bones instead of yours. They can bite though
several years ago out walking the dog got swooped by a black backed gull, bloody thing hit me on the head with it's wing had a headache for over an hour. during breeding season it's a nightmare walking the dog as we are constantly swooped by the effing things. i live in cheltenham miles from the sea & we have hundreds of them around this area.
@@anthonybartlett6924 .... I was at the seaside many years ago sitting on a bench eating my giant sausage in batter and chips and a seagull swooped down and nicked the whole sausage, I was left with just the chips. Blimey those buggers are fast and accurate, he was in and out like a shot.
@@martinwebb1681 years of practice and much honing of technique. seen a herring gull extract the ice cream off a cone with such surgical precision as to assume a level of admiration for their pure accuracy. and idiots who don't either eat inside on a windy day, and people who inadvertantly train gulls by lying on the beach with a chip between their lips waiting for a gull to take it. which is why a number of seaside-y places have 'do not feed the gulls' signs up. they're getting THAT bold.
and we're dumb enough to fail to realise we're the ones responsible for emboldening your average gull enough for it to walk into greggs and steal bags of crisps.
Oh - and, can't remember where I saw it, but, there was a video of a gull attempting to swallow a footlong hotdog in one go - but failed spectacularly 🤣 it's part cringe and part _lol!!_
hot and cold taps are quite normal here, but a sink without a plug isn't (you really need the plug so the water can pool and so you can get the water to the required temperature before you wash your hands). I am also amused there is usually the assumption that you switch your hands between hot and cold.
All I’m gonna say is, don’t knock beans on toast until you’ve tried it!! Such a simple, cheap and easy to make yet yummy meal. Especially if you add cheese and a tiny bit of garlic salt! Got me through Uni!
A fish finger butty, is a staple... butter a couple of slices of bread, put your freshly cooked fish fingers in it, it melts the butter a bit, and add a little ketchup, and you've got a really yummy butty.
Also, yes we always add butter when it comes to sandwiches
Fruity HP sauce is the elite option 👌
Only it is usually margerine, you still call it bread and butter though. butter is for when you are in the money or special occasions.
@@robertsibley6330 I purposely never buy margerine though. Lurpak, Country Life or Kerrygold in my house.
Where do I stop. The reason baked beans on toast - with butter - is a thing, is that it's delicious, healthy and cheap!
Rounds, saying thank you to the bus driver, queuing, repeatedly saying bye, "no, you first" are all the same social phenomena. It's all forms of "gift exchange" to establish that both people consider each other as socially equal rather than engaging in a utilitarian exchange.
Butty is a northern English word for sandwiches made from bread rolls.British fish fingers are covered in golden breadcrumbs.We DO have fish sticks,but theses are individually wrapped crab meat things that come in packs of 12 or 16 normally abd are bought in supermarkets freezer sections🎩
Butties are made from any kind of bread, be it rolls, sliced, buns, barm cakes, cobs etc.
We also use buttie for sandwich in Wales, but we also use buttie to mean "friend" or "pal" or "mate", as in "shwmae buttie" or "shwmae butt" meaning "hello mate".
I believe a stick of rock is what in America is called a candy cane. Also you do get all in one taps on some newer houses but generally you have enough time to wash your hands under the hot tap before it gets too hot so its not usually a problem
Nah, they are very different. Candy canes are quite thin in comparison and are all one texture/consistency.
Rock is much thicker and has the two distinct parts.
MMmmm, cheesy beans on toast! 😋
In most parts of England private, fee-paying schools are called "public schools" but in Scotland a "public school" is, literally, a public school and a "private school" is a fee paying school as you'd expect.
Most British beaches are, actually, sandy but there are some pebble-y/stone-y beaches.
You should check out beaches like Portobello beach in Edinburgh or the beaches in Blackpool, Filey and Cornwall for example.
Lovely sandy beaches.
They seem to be talking, exclusively, about where in the UK they are.
Britain is a big place, y'know. 🙂
I wonder if the woman, there, has had some British person winding her up and if some of the posts they're reading are wind ups! 🤣
I still don't know what she's talking about with the way she said "bye" in the previous video and I've never heard "sincerely" on a letter meaning anything but that ("sincerely").
I've NEVER heard of it meaning "f-you" in my life! 🤷
I don't think this pair are a good reference point if you want a more general, less localized view of Britain.
That is interesting as I am in a Scottish FB group and nearly corrected someone the other day for referring to a state school as a public school!
Firstly, we have lots of nice sandy beaches here in the UK. Fish finger butties are delicious and cheesey beans on toast is a staple.
I think the guy's grocery store line-cutter was a one off. At the bar it's usually a genuine stand-off.
British beaches vary considerably. Some have sweeps of golden sand, and some are shingles, which can be rounded pebbles or sharp stones. The candy 'rock' is a cylinder of mint candy about a foot in length, usually Barbie pink on the outside and white on the inside, with the letters spelling the name of the seaside town running through it. Worth a Google, I think.
Traditionally 'Public' schools in the UK were schools that were open to the paying public, as opposed to having private tutors. But only the very rich could afford them. The name stuck. Our standard schools are known as 'State Schools', as in 'funded by the state'.
'Butties' are sandwiches, usually in a bun like a burger bun. Fish finger butty, chip butty....what's not to love?
The two taps still exit, and the old fashioned water tank system is still installed in some homes. I think in new homes it's just habit.
The 'who pays what proportion of the restaurant bill' is a huge thing here. It's best to be open before you start about how it's going to work- and if you can only pay for your own, you say so upfront.
It's not just beans we have on toast: beans & sausages, spaghetti hoops, plum tomatoes, macaroni cheese, chilli... Just about anything.
I had a friend as a teenager. I'd never really been in his house before in the evening although we'd been pals for years but this one evening I was there although not for tea but he was having his.
Anyway his mum was making him spaghetti on toast. No issues although I thought it slightly odd for a 16/17yr old to be eating it. So there is was expecting it to come out as the usual tinned spaghetti hoops on toast. I can't tell you how horrified I was by what was served to him... actual proper pasta spaghetti on plain white UNBUTTERED toast, no sauce, no cheese, no condiments 😱
I'd never seen it before or since & I still chuckle thinking back about it now. Literally never known anyone else to have actual spaghetti on toast as the name suggests. His reaction to my reaction was almost as funny. It was completely normal to him but probably the most bizarre meal I'd ever seen someone eat.
Beans on toast is lush, grilled cheese on toast with beans on top is even better.
Fish finger sandwiches are very nice too.
Chip butties are great too.
Most British beaches are sandy. From Kent all the way up the east coast around the top of Scotland and the west coast around to Wales, which has fantastic beaches. Down to North Devon where they might be stony down to Cornwall with fabulous beaches and back to South Devon. Obviously between the beaches there are some rocky outcrops. There are also cliffs along parts of the coast, especially Pembrokeshire and north east Scotland but generally our beaches are fabulous. The water is a bit cold though. The stoniest beaches are in the south especially Brighton and Chesyl Beach which is an amazing geographical structure. Beans on toast are lush and very satisfying.
North Devon has lovely soft sandy beaches, like at Woolacombe which is a lovely two mile long gently sloping sandy beach.
i'm british and i can't stand beans on toast... the texture not the taste...i don't like mushy squishy beans. i like edamame beans from Japan. but they have a nice texture.
The sea on the west coast is significantly warmer than the east on account of the Gulf Stream. Don't forget that the whole UK is further north than any part of the USA except Alaska.
@@martinwebb1681 I've been to Lynmouth and walked up along the river to the cafe. Lovely place. Also the village Clovelly. Doesn't Ilfracombe have dark sand. It's a lovely place, very interesting with the Victorian bathing areas. This is a beautiful country with many interesting places to visit and a surfeit of fabulous beaches. We're very lucky.
nope beaches arent like that in blighty. 70% are sandy
The 'round' system can be circumnavigated by the simple 'I don't have much money'. If you're in a conversation with someone and they're enjoying your company - and you theirs - a couple of extra pints could be got out of the situation. However, always state you're on a limited budget before attempting to get free drinks. Nine times out of ten the honesty is appreciated and respected. Saying that, it must not be - or seem to be - a deliberate attempt to get drinks bought for you. It's more subtle than that.
Leave our beans alone😂😂😂😂 Baked Beans in the UK are different that those in the states. However, Baked Beans on toast is a fast tasty and nutritious fast food that we love.😘😘😘😘
Buying a round of drinks is not rocket science. You ask everyone at the table "What are you having" make a mental or written note of their order and go to the bar. Recite order to bartender and pay for everyones drink yourself. You then play waiter by taking everyone's drink back to the table. Buying rounds is completely optional and under the persons own discretion whether they want to do it, usually if they have loads of cash, no one is obligated. It's OK to buy your own drink.
"No sandy beaches"? What about Porthcawl, Bournmouth, Weymouth, Blackpool, Studland, Camber, Whitby, Rhossili, Llandudno, Whitesands Bay, Abersoch, Langland, Benllech, Llangrannog, Dornoch, Troon, Ayr, Bamburgh, Robin Hood's Bay, Durdle Dor, etc, etc, etc. 🙄
Especially Scotland which has some of the quietest (uncrowded), 'fine sand' beaches in the whole of the UK! The main problem is you might only get 2 or 3 days of really hot, sunny days - which is why there are miles of beautiful, unsullied white sand - LOL! 😃
They have no clue what British rock is lol, and no that's not typical of all British beaches. We have plenty of lovely sandy beaches 😁
Britishes is definitely not a word they're teasing you.
Sad that Tyler doesn't read the comments as Britishes isn't a word. Also that Jessica person sounds xenophobic.
Sorry this is a long comment. but THESE TWO REALLY DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT. Brits (DEFINITELY NOT BRITISHES!!!) are generally polite, but when it's your turn it's your turn, unless they were genuinely there first, or they are elderly or infirm in some way. Over 70% of British beaches are sandy - golden sand in fact. The "rocky" shores are in the south east around Folkstone/Dover, etc. Rock candy is the same stuff as American candy canes,. So, if a stick of "rock" is disappointing then American candy canes must be disappointing too. Tyler, you learned in previous videos that British state schools are USA's public schools and British public schools are your private schools. I have watched you react to that. Don't knock beans on toast till you've tried it - but it must be British haricot beans, not your American broad beans. 'Butty' is not another word for sandwiches. it is only called a butty if it is buttered and the filling is warm or hot. If the filling is cold it's a sandwich. They are giggling (like 12 year-old's) at the word butty. (Butt). Have Americans never heard of sink plugs, where you can run hot and cold water into the basin at the same time for washing your hands or whatever? Do you think we are stupid enough to scald ourselves under the hot tap? What is so difficult to understand in the "rounds" system in a pub? When it's your round, pay for the drinks. When it's someone else's round don't order something expensive that you don't usually drink. If you leave make sure you have paid for 'your' round before you go. If you don't want another drink say so BEFORE the next person orders a round. Don't join a round if you can't afford to pay for one. Nobody will mind if you say "Sorry, I'll just buy my own today". Simple!
Amwricans love making fun of beans on toast, but to Brits, "Biscuits with Gravy" is equally as weird (and yes I know you don't mean what WE call biscuits).
As many other commenters have said, there is a massive libel on British beaches here. Like a video about British beaches I have seen commented on, it's very Southern-biased. Jessica must be thinking about Brighton beach, where many Londoners go. But the East coasts of England have wonderful sandy beaches.
As a child, I was blessed to have a grandma living two blocks away from the beach at Bridlington (East Riding of Yorkshire). One side of this beach has cliffs and rocks - but the other side has sand - I think going on for 13 miles. Much joy from that beach.
North and West Scotland has some fabulous beaches, with white sand and clear water.
This looks like the Caribbean, with an important difference, as in most British beaches. The water's really cold!
And the west? Cornwall and Devon?
Jessica is not thinking . . . . . . .
I'm not sure where they went to the beach, but living in West Yorkshire, I am in the middle of England, I am about 1 and a half hours to either coast, Filey/Bridlington etc. to the East or Southport/Blackpool etc. to the West. All of which are sandy beaches! Yes, you can get rocky beaches, good for fossil hunting etc. but as far as I am concerned I have to go out of my way to go to a rocky beach!
We have fish sticks or crab sticks, which are totally different from fish fingers, fish fingers are fingers of white fish wrapped in bread crumbs, you fry, grill or bake them, eat them with chips or in bread as a sandwich and Fish sticks are thin sticks of fishy flavoured stuff with a pink colour in a plastic wrapper, eaten as a snack!
Rounds are not obligatory you can just say to your friends, I will get my own as I'm driving/on tablets etc. or just because you prefer it! Nobody will be upset, sometimes you or your friend will have more ready money than everyone else In the round, then it's usual for me or them to get another round in (without telling anyone, suddenly more drinks will appear). This is not obligatory either, is usually done in small groups and sometimes is done because the person buying the extra round has finished before everyone else, they may also go up with you to the bar on your go and say I will get these in mate, I know you are finding it hard at the minute, having just lost your job/split up/etc. Again usually done in small groups. Like everything else, Rounds are not fixed, you can get mixed up who's round it is, and some people may cheat, getting cheap stuff on their round and expensive on theirs. You usually know who will do this and generally, unless there is a good reason or you are a good egg and don't mind, they don't get invited to your rounds, that is until you are too drunk to care! This also happens
They were describing and showing footage of the Washington state coastline. Also, if you did a video on the necessity of British food rationing in WW2, the habit of relying on beans on toast for nourishment might make more sense. Also, check out the British invention - the sandwich, named after the Earl of Sandwich who had the first one made in 1762.
The only time the queue etiquette is changed is when yiu have a full trolley and someone only has a couple of items, then it's only polite to let them go 1st... UK rock is a log of hard candy with words writen through the middle... going dutch is equal shares!
Rounds are never simple really because not everyone shows up at the same time, some people leave early. Some people aren’t drinking. Some people finish their drinks faster. Some people leave without getting a round, but promise to get one the next time (whether or not you actually remember to do that). Sometimes your party splits off into separate groups if there’s not enough table space or move on to somewhere else or see an old friend and start talking to them at the other side of the bar.
Look the trick is just don’t worry about it too much, when you finish your drink and it feels like it might be your turn, buy a round for whoever is at your table and appears to also have finished or be close finishing their drink.
Or just volunteer to buy the first round and then you’ve done your duty and you no longer have to worry about it.
(Consent is also required btw. When someone says “what are you having?” That means they are about to buy you a drink. Feel free to say no thanks. Same goes for when it’s your turn.)
Also there is never an assumed reciprocation. Buying a drink for someone is a kindness. At least not for me. Just don’t be stingy, and never feel like you owe someone money. It’s all good 👍
What are they talking about with the beaches?? 90% 0f British beaches have lush sand
The "no, you" issue is easy to sort. The guy that queue jumped after saying "no, you first' really DID know who was next, and at that point you also know and you just say a polite thanks and go ahead. Easy.
Butties are usually hot food between two slices of buttered bread, Sandwiches or Sarnies are cold food between two slices of buttered bread.
The point of rounds is everyone gets their chosen drink every time so it ends up everyone paying the same. Generally rounds are only brought in small groups otherwise some people wont buy a round because you leave before it get to their turn. Rounds also helps your friends on lower incomes because they'll most likely be the last to take their turn when some people have already left making their round that bit cheaper.
2taps (fawsets) are only fitted to sinks in modern houses where a water tank supplies the hot water (WRC bylaws). To get warm water, simply fill the basin with hot and cold water by using the plug. This saves water unless you completely fill the sink.
I don't think this Jessica Rose knows Britain at all, we have hundreds of nice sandy beaches.
UK born and bred am now an old age pensioner have NEVER heard anyone call us Britishes…. Brits is most common or British people but Britishes pleeease that is awful
I say "age before beauty" sometimes in the queue. Beans on toast with an egg on top is lovely. Mmmm chip butties. No newer homes have 2 different taps. There's a joke about a friend who always disappears from the Pub when its his/her round. Oh and our culture goes back aeons 😂
Can I say, some of this is silly and so is this couple! There's quite a bit of exaggeration going on here.
We only say "after you" if the other person was actually there first.
Participating in a 'round' and 'going Dutch' is not compulsory. Plenty of people buy their own drinks/food.
We've got some gorgeous sandy beaches.
Plenty of British homes have mono taps but one benefit of two taps is that you can run hot and cold into separate receptacles at the same time.
Oh and we do have plugs to hold the water which is not mentioned, dahhhhhh
Two separate taps are not a problem for anyone who has mastered the use of the plug
Did you ever think “Maybe I’m the weird one”
The idea that swans break arms is a pure myth.
It was started hundreds of years ago to discourage people from hunting and eating swans. 😉
The two separate taps also help the visually impaired. Hot is always on the left, so you don't scald your hands at night when the lights are off.
New builds are not common in the UK. Most homes are ancient and refurbished but rarely knocked down to rebuild.
Yep cos they ain't made of wood that's just silly
American beans are nothing like uk ones, there not sweet and tomato based, beans on butterd toast is fantastic. Fishfinger sarnies are wonderful.
Seagulls can dive bomb for food. There are some shingle/rock beaches, but many are beautiful golden sand. My local beach is 1 mile of golden sand & dunes. Only get palm trees down south.
Not true palm trees can be found in the west coast of Scotland.
Don’t think the Brits are backwards in coming forward. If someone takes the mick on a round. We all let them know “it’s your round or buy it yourself”
Time to explain our Baked Beans to Tyler. Whether or not he choses to read this or not 🙄😉
US beans bear very little relationship to what we consider to be Great British Baked Beans.
Our Beans are baked until they are soft, then completely doused in a rich special recipe tomato based sauce.
They can be eaten on toast as a snack at any time of the day... or night.
Or as an accompaniment to many different meals. I have explained this in past posts for your edification, with particular reference to "Chips".
A favourite is with the full English Breakfast. Comprising Bacon, Eggs, Sausages, Baked Beans, Mushrooms and Tomatoes. Augmented by Hash Browns and Black Pudding.
Baked Beans are also popular sharing a plate with,
Just to mention a few:-
Eggs and Chips
Sausage, Eggs and Chips
Ham, Eggs and Chips
Burgers and Chips
Burgers, Eggs and Chips
Also great with Baked Jacket Potatoes, smothered with grated cheese 😋
However.... NEVER with Fish and Chips!!!
😂😂
nice effort on comment where in the uk are you ? im in Yorkshire
@@Craigsplaysgames4u
East Anglia 👋
Stony beach: that's Brighton. Gulls are absolutely addicted to chips (French fries), crisps (chips), and ice cream. They are expert at taking the ice cream off a cone and flying off with it. They march into shops and pick the packets of crisps off the shelf if it is low down, and running off with them.
I think they are considered public schools because here in the UK you can only go to a “state” school if you reside within the schools immediately local catchment area whereas if you have the means to pay you can go to a Public (private) school regardless of where you reside.
Not all British beaches are pebble beaches, more often than not you can find sandy beaches in England, you just have to look for them.
Plenty in Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland too.
the person who commented on our beaches has obviously never been to Cornwall or south Wales. ignore their opinion. in Cornwall check out Perranporth, Fistral, St Ives, Porthcurno, Sennen Cove, to name but a few. beans with toast adjacent is better as the toast stays crisp. no, we don't do the taps thing any more. regarding public schools. in medieval times schools were monastic institutions.from around the 14th century schools were charitably established by individuals that were open to anybody who could afford it, this made them public rather than monastic schools. this, incidentally is where we derive the word snob. the primary customer base was obviously the nobility. however, the sons of the newly appearing "middle" classes were written in the register as "Sine nobiltate", (without nobility). this was shortened to "SNOB", and now refers broadly speaking to anyone with social pretentions.
Or Scotland which has some of the quietest (uncrowded), 'fine sand' beaches in the whole of the UK! The main problem is you might only get 2 or 3 days of really hot, sunny days - which is why there are miles of beautiful, unsullied white sand - LOL!
If you're out with a squad of workmates or friends, you can state at the start of the night that you're not to be included in the rounds. That you're off the drink, taking it slow, skint, or leaving early.
We tend to wait until everyone has nearly finished their drink before getting another round in - it's bad form if some people have multiple drinks in front of them. Sometimes people will switch up what they get, it's good form to ask, but to have a good idea of what their usual is. So the cost tends to stay the same for each round. Unless you're all punishing someone and then everyone asks for something expensive, but it would have to be for a good reason.
If I was leaving early, I'd be more likely to try and buy an early round, then I don't need to worry about when I leave.
On the other hand, you get people who duke their round, try and buy it late on when most have left, or in some other way game the system. Its let slide if they're broke, but if it's just a habit - words are exchanged and sometimes they stop being asked to join the group. The same thing can happen if someone gets a lager whenever it's their round, but asks for expensive drinks whenever it's someone elses turn to go order, pay up and bring them back.
This goes on cycling through your group until the place shuts or there's only one or two of you left.
Food is bough separate from the rounds. Be that crisps, snacks, or a pub meal.
