On the "Buddy" question, I think most Brits think it's synonymous with our "mate" in North America. Swap buddy with mate and you will get the meaning so no offence intended. Unless he assumed you were American in which case take as much offence as you like! ;)
@@maxmoore9955 Not common to use buddy unless your Indian (South Asian), so probably the barman was from New Zealand or somewhere else non-UK. Mate would be more likely but its a bit informal for a food server in a pub! If someone starts saying 'listen pal/mate/buddie' they're probably annoyed with you or their cat died that morning.
@@quarkwrok Buddy, fella, pal is now used by Millennials and Gen Z more than 'mate'. But it's friendly. In the above example if they said the fact they're saying 'buddy' does NOT mean they're annoyed, it's if they say 'listen'
Buddy, pal, love, duck, mate, fella… and many more. Everyone has their word. I call everyone ‘love’, sometimes even my male mates. It isn’t a conscious thing.
Ah beautiful Cotswolds, so much to see and do. Yes the holiday was filmed in the village of Shere, just outside Guildford in Surrey. It is a tourist magnet, particularly in the Summer, but it is very cute. The holiday cottage however, wasn't real, is was a fake film set built and based loosely on a cottage just down the road from Shere in another lovely village. To be honest all the villages in that area of Surrey are lovely.
SQUIRRELS wont hunt you down in packs, thanks pub landlord. In Scotland we do have wild cats, my father had a sporron of a real wild cats head, not PC now. On his wedding day to my mum he went to pick up some flowers. The shop had a cat it went nuts and attacked, his furious cat lost part of a ear!!!! Oman or what.
@@lilyandjosh lf you like the Cotswolds you could walk parts or all of the Cotswold Way? If you do try it make sure you give yourselves plenty of time to enoys things around the route
@@amnril oh for crying out loud. Been having major issues with autocorrect. It’s putting words in I didn’t type and it’s driving me insane…! Def didn’t mean the ‘aren’t’ as yup that’s a double negative! 🙄
Some people use Buddy a lot . I have never used it in my life however it is not an insult you just happened upon a buddy talker.They are quite rare but they do exist.
Best way to park even if it means turning around is to drop any passengers off first leaving the left side not going to be used, then you can park close to the wall so Leaving the driver the road to get out .
Definitely cream first then jam for me, it is also the way they do it in Devon. In Cornwall it is jam first then cream so remember to abide by the traditions in each county when you visit or you may upset the locals.😁👍
Vitrually the whole world stayed to the left of the road, until Napoleon conquered or had control by intimidation the whole of Europe, with the exception of the UK. It was he who ruled that everyone should move to the right hand side. The UK who continued to defeat him took no notice of his ruling. Hence staying on the left.
It’s probably because they are used to the dry cold, rather than the damp cold we experience in the UK. Damp cold air feels colder than dry cold air of the same temperature.
Like your stuff. My first Scottish trip was very similar to yours about 6 years ago, including the train , stayed in similar places. I thoroughly enjoyed you Cotswolds part to except I was there in summer .
@@lilyandjosh Yes. I was going from Lands End to Inverness in stages by car & train including the sleeper to Inverness . We stayed in the Cotswolds for 3 nights. We are Australian so drive on the same side of the road as the British. We throughly enjoyed my 2 trips to UK & Europe,we hope to go back as soon as AirFares get reasonable again. It’s about a 23 hour flight from Australia to London.
In the early history of cars in the US, cars were built with right hand drive and people drove on the left until the law mandated driving on the right and cars were built left hand drive.
No offence was meant in the term 'buddy' the older generation use the term 'mate' it is a friendly term here in the UK. Cream always first, the Devon way ✌
Its insanely unlikely you had food poisioning in the uk. I have never in my life had it, no one i know has. We vaccinate chickens, pigs and cows and salmonella is pretty much non existent.
Buddy? It's not a super common term I find, more of an Americanism, but it isn't meant to be insulting. With all these things it depends on tone of course. mate is usually a term of endearment but can occasionally be used almost in a threatening way.
The guy was using an Americanism, most probably picked up online. But what grates on my nerves is another Americanism lots of workers use now in the UK: "No worries". GAAAAAAA!!!!!
I can't bear it when people call me 'Buddy'. It's not meant as an insult, and doesn't happen that much in the UK, but it every now and then someone does it and I find it incredibly irritating.

Would your Natural Honest response be Budde or Mate.?

Never heard buddy in Britain I've only lived here all my Life 62 years mate .
I am 73 and have never heard any Brit use it.
So interesting! Maybe he's back from a trip to the states!
People in Norfolk use it a lot. We notice it there, maybe left over from US air bases?
It could be birds or an Owl in the roof. They are very noisy even at night.
From Yorkshire. No one’s ever called my buddy
Don't worry there's no dangerous animals here, you'll be fine! 😂
Hope it doesn't spoil your holiday, the Cotswolds is truly stunning.

To appreciate the countryside you walk
Totally agree. We did a quick tour, but cannot wait to come back and take our time :)
@@lilyandjosh lf you like the Cotswolds you could walk parts or all of the Cotswold Way? If you do try it make sure you give yourselves plenty of time to enoys things around the route
Most probably a Honey Badger, known to be rampant throughout the Cotswolds.
There's a guy in my house that calls everybody Buddy. Just a thing some Brits do. Very few, though.
You’re deep in the countryside - there’s going to be creatures! But none of ours arent dangerous… you can sleep without worry… x
Hang on…..!
So you are saying all of our creatures ARE dangerous….. (it’s the old two negatives makes a positive thing 😂😂)

Cotswolds has an infamous werewolf problem

Two Canadians moaning about the cold weather in Britain.? Thought Canada could go has Low - 50 .😮
I know! Especially where we're from!! We're from Winnipeg... -50 is too real! I guess we just weren't prepared for the chill... we're UK amateurs 🤷
It’s probably because they are used to the dry cold, rather than the damp cold we experience in the UK. Damp cold air feels colder than dry cold air of the same temperature.
As a Brit I would someone who called me "buddy" all the time to be over-familiar!

We had so much fun- did you drive as well?

In the West Of England the term Bud or Buddy predates American usage and probably was exported to there. It is synonymous with “mate”.
In the early history of cars in the US, cars were built with right hand drive and people drove on the left until the law mandated driving on the right and cars were built left hand drive.
Probably a squirrel in the roof🤣🤣🤣
The server was unusually over-familiar, but not insulting.
Buddy is the same as mate, no offence was meant at all. I use it quite a lot to be honest.
Yes bubby seems to be a new thing even a police constable calls people buddy not sure where it started 🙄 but not a old thing it's new
No offence was meant in the term 'buddy' the older generation use the term 'mate' it is a friendly term here in the UK. Cream always first, the Devon way ✌
It will be a squirrel or a mouse
Its insanely unlikely you had food poisioning in the uk. I have never in my life had it, no one i know has. We vaccinate chickens, pigs and cows and salmonella is pretty much non existent.
Buddy comment:- We are British and use the word c*nt as a term of endearment! It's all down to tough skin!!😂
Many y countries drive on the left.

Breakfast is meant to be mixed
We call them rats in the U.K. 😂😂😂
ha! I kept trying not to say that to Lily during the night!
If it sounds like a rat, it’s a mouse, if it sounds like human, it’s a rat
thats not a full english breakfast thats a childs breakfast i would have sent it back

No worries is a.widely used Aussie expression, not American, but it was in use in the UK before Australia originally.
Haha no worries is BIG TIME in Canada, we use it all the time too 😅
I can't bear it when people call me 'Buddy'. It's not meant as an insult, and doesn't happen that much in the UK, but it every now and then someone does it and I find it incredibly irritating.
Yeah just feels a bit like something you’d call someone quite younger than you, doesn’t it??
Watch out for those beans 😮! Have the ability to make you antisocial.
