The flip side of the short winter days is it still being light after 2200 in the summer.
In Edinburgh/Glasgow in the summer we get 17.5 hrs sunlight. Shetland gets 19hrs (though it doesn't really get totally dark)
Let's not talk about the winter.
I’ll never understand the obsession people have with two taps in the UK. There are many differences between many countries. They will never always be the same. I’ve been to the US several times. Of course certain things are different, but it certainly doesn’t bother me. One tap, two taps, what’s the big deal 😂...In the UK the toilet is, as it should be, private. In the US you can almost see what the person had for dinner. If a simple thing like two taps can wind people up so much, God knows how they make it through life when ACTUAL problems come along 😂
@Adolphus Inc. Whilst using the “restroom” in the US, i was appalled at the lack of privacy. In all my life i have never even given two taps a moments thought. I’m sure we could all make a list a mile long about things we find unusual or “primitive” about another country 😂
" can almost see what they had for dinner ' lmao very good Dave , as for the two taps without swearing the only advice I say to people is put the plug in sink end of , plus of course it's very fashionable to have two taps ( lol ) , I do try to be nice to our American friends because it's not their fault when building a housing estate by the time they build the last house the first one is being knocked down because it's too old / unfashionable

I'm British and the two taps will always bother me
two taps was originally for health and hygiene reasons. The cold tap was fresh drinking water. hot water taps can carry bacteria which are harmless unless you lngest them,ideally they should be kept seperate and not both pass through one outlet.
😂 Everybody will think we have 2 taps, I haven’t seen that in homes for probably 25 years.
Lived in 4 different houses in London. They all had separate taps 😭 even the newly refurbished bathroom
Love your videos, you talk a lot of sense. In 1994 I was seconded to Staten Island, NY and as I had a UK colleague there and my manager was from the UK the move was easy, they sorted out my apartment and bank account. When your employer is a big company, in my case BT, it’s relatively easy. In 1998 I was then moved to Italy, apart from the language it was easy. I worked on telecomm exchanges and they were Swedish made but only communicated with humans in English. My next secondment was for 3 years to Amsterdam, no language problems here, everyone spoke English! HR in my seconded company found me an apartment and sorted my bank account out. In Italy & Amsterdam I the company paid for a flight home every month, it was held into an account for me. My travel budget was based on KLM fares. If I didn’t come home one month there was enough in my budget for my brother, sister-in-law and son to fly with Easyjet. Weekends were great t explored the local areas and towns. I had a great time.
When we moved from England to Australia we realised that there were three things we missed - friends, family and familiarity.
Where would I buy a lightbulb?
Which butter will I like?…..
Exploring new brand names and foods was interesting.
We are now back in England. I value both countries.
I don't understand why the taps are a big issue.. Using them is common sense.. I go to America and just use their taps.. It's not a big deal.. They are just one of the many differences between countries.. Your nuts to expect anything else.. If you want it to be like home stay at home...
I'm an American and would love to experience living in Europe. It's unfortunately very difficult for the average American to move abroad.
Can’t we just let the two taps thing go? I can’t remember the last time I was in a house that didn’t have mixer taps!
I can. They are still in abundance.
Obviously the people that moan haven't seen grand designs or other programs showing multimillion housing and in the bathroom there is normally two gold taps in each sink
@@lawrenceglaister4364 Usually they are ex-bankers, sitting on millions who are too old to move with the times.
BTW - I renovated a barn into a house Grand Designs style. Only mixer taps allowed
I totally agree that British people do not handle criticism well. So, I tested it with a multitude of different cultures to see how they react. I was very direct. For instance, my Italian acquaintances I would say something like there is dog poop on all your sidewalks. My Spanish acquaintances I would criticise about the level of nudity on their beaches. I tested this with about twenty other cultures and none of them were offended. Most of them actually agreed with me and had an open discussion on how the problem might be corrected.
But say anything negative to a Brit and they hate you. Which is ironic, since they invented the Piccadilly line. But I don't think they understand irony.
My conclusion is narcissism. Narcissists cannot handle criticism of any kind. And I just can't make excuses for narcissistic behaviour. That is enabling and that just empowers narcissistic abuse.
Most interesting, yet among the Brits it's very likely different rules for talking with strangers, acquaintances and friends, and then there's the neighbours, should you also live in the UK. The UK is famous for joking also about themselves: it's so varied according to whom you dealing with, quite likely.
The reason we don't often have mixer taps, is because cold water has to be drinkable. Often we have (or used to) hot water tanks which is not suitable for drinking.
My wife and children suffer from SAD, which is a problem in the UK, as you observed. Medication works but we found that the best solution was a winter skiing holiday, typically around January. The bright sun reflecting off the snow for ten days was sufficient to get everyone through to Spring.
One odd thing here in West Yorkshire, near the border with South Yorkshire (Wakefield, Doncaster) is that there seems to be a constant demand for Swedish speakers. I dont know if we have an IKEA headquarters but it's a good tip for would be translators.
I have always wanted to know what I should expect, if ever I am to move to London. Thank you sharing your experience.
The two taps thing is a historical artefact - the cold water was potable but the hot water wasn't. I don't know if it still true.
In Australia, I have one tap flick mixer. No matter which way I flick the mixer, I get one temperature. Cold.
What does it matter if its one tap or two! At least we have the choice.
When you moved to Uk, I moved from NZ to OZ. I have been settling in Sydney for the last 2 years and think it is an amazing city. I had been to London before moving so can understand your comparisons. Moving to a new country is weird and cool. Will try to move to UK next like you did.
Or just get new taps, mixers, they are cheap.
Having lived half life in uk and australia I feel,uk does inside best and australia outside best shade from rain sun awnings on most street shopping paths city's in australia indoor entertainment uk best /parking car friendly and public seats australia (regional )transport uk .I think historic buildings are underrated in usa and australia we have them but not as old .Also outdoor shaded dining I know uk has that but australia especially tropical cairns is next level outdoor fans for cooling .
Spot on magnificent stuff
Just to add to my previous comment. In thailand the have one tap.... Cold, no hot.
This should be entitled life lessons and commonsense...
Don't expect to get anywhere if all you do is go on about how much better everything is where you are from... You'll get a multitude of responses range from "go home then" to a great number of expletives...
Thank you for being honest!
Yvette, you're back! Hi, good to see you young lady, you are looking damn good!
Hobbies help, they can give you a connection to people who don't speak your language even if your language is Australian
Quick question Im planning to move to London but are you able to enter bars and cafes in London without a vaccine now? I heard they mandate it for bars and cafes ect do people still just get in? Or is it actually strict where people wait at the door and you need to provide proof?
No need to have vaccine proof in the uk at the moment
@@amierussell1453 Thank you very much someone's mum who's daughter lives there said you do and it says on the web too
I understand if for medical reasons you can't have the vaccine.
However if you're anti-vaccine , you're just adding to the problem.
@@panchomcsporran2083 How is that adding to the problem?
@@souza2102air travel IS the only reason that the virus, has become global. If new variants are imported, the problem is made worse. You should take all the precautions available to you.
Please please be the one to publish the idea of the the sink plug hole with the plug. Mix the hot and cold taps water to your comfortable temperature manually. Clue - turn on the hot tap first until it’s hot then plug in then turn on the cold tap. This was found out over years and years including my mums instructions. This is the same method for filling the bath up with warm water. Please tell everyone this because it’s pixxxxng me off seeing the same moan vid after vid.
Thank you.
Cheers Aah kid
Good and informative vlog, admire you and your husband in doing what you've done, wishing you continued success and happiness for the future
If you like to climb mountains then London is not for you!! 😅😅
This is good and accurate.
yes move to uk but not london
I’m biased as I’m a born & bred Londoner, but if City life is for you then London is a great place to live! It’s one of the most multicultural cities on the planet and has a great energy as well as some amazing buildings, museums, theatres and nightlife. Of course, it does have issues like many big cities and can be overwhelming if you are not used to city life. To say not to move there without reason is disingenuous tbh.
I go into Macdonald's and say "This food is trash", then I eat it.
Have to tell the truth!
Loving your makeup colour's , your eye makeup is stunning
Good one
a Gym and Primark I'm good ..lol
Arrogant people won't be welcome.
Why? We create enough of them 😂
@@MrJoeshipley 😂
Compared to Australia, seems the UK isn't too bad.. if you like freedoms etc
There's more freedom in North Korea at the moment then in Australia!
"Pain is good?". Do you own a whip?🤕🤕🙄
Yvette you don't need to have a TV licence.
That is wrong, if one has a TV in the house than one needs one, even if live broadcast TV is not watched on it but one only casts to it from a device. Also without one accessing material on some catch up channels is blocked.
@@tonys1636 so you don't need a TV licence thanks for backing me up
I can confirm it's a voluntary tax.
@@kevinc2796 - Correct you do not need a tv license
@@tonys1636
You don't need a TV licence unless you watch live TV as it's broadcast, or use BBC iplayer.
Simply having a TV set in your house does not require a licence.
Good advice
I am new good video thanks for your hard work
You look cute...
Then there are almost 15 million people living in the London area and London remains the world's favourite City.
News flash, everyone else in the UK doesn't live in London and I'm willing to bet most of them are, at best indifferent about it. Many hate London. It's expensive, unfriendly, noisy and smelly. Every Londoner costs the tax payer about £3 more per person than the rest of the UK.
London is a parasite bleeding this country dry.
God you are pretty
