Love your videos, it’s so nice to see the realities and that some days can be disappointing and a bit frustrating. But as you said, that happens everywhere in the world when we travel. Thank you for appreciating our funny, quirky and outright beautiful wee island.
Fun fact, when Big Ben was recast, it was made in the same place in the uk as the liberty bell. The first Big Ben cracked early on just like the liberty bell.
To be fair idk why we love the liberty bell so much. I have actually seen the liberty bell, it’s exactly what you expect it to be, a bell with a crack in it. Not that epic lol. Sometimes I feel like America forces things to be historical lol.
When I was a kid I was told in school that St Paul’s , Buckingham Palace , Big Ben , Houses of Parliament and other iconic buildings had not to be bombed because Hitler wanted to use them or he really liked them . Some of them only got hit by accident. 🤷♀️🇬🇧
Fun fact...Churchill wasn't as loved by Londeners as historians would have you believe. He used to walk through bombed out areas and give impromptu speeches to rally people and on many occasions was heckled by the women who were fed up with it.
Afternoon Tea is not the same at every venue you eat at. It would seem that at that particular Tea House you visited, they just happened to use mayonnaise in their choice of sandwiches. I have had it about 5 times, and do not recall there being mayonnaise used other than an egg mayo sandwich
I'm so glad you're having a good time in London. It's really interesting to see what foreign people make of our city. I actually work for Harrods and didn't know we don't allow filming in-store! It may well more be around the very, very expensive jewellery, which they don't want recorded for obvious reasons... Oh, and next time you are in the Food Halls at Harrods, try the chicken sandwich from the Roastery. That is the bomb
We liked harrods a lot we was in there for at least two hours looking at everything, we wanted to spend more time in the food hall but we had just finished that breakfast and had dinner reservations that night but we will definitely be back there to try that 😄.

@@Trippingthroughadventures An interesting fact that many people may not realize is that regions in Asia, including Japan, receive significantly more rainfall than we do. The only distinction is that our experiences are distributed throughout 365 days, while theirs are condensed into three to four months.On average, England experiences rain on 165 days per year, with an average annual rainfall of 23 inches. In contrast, Japan receives significantly more rainfall, ranging from 1,000 to 2,500 mm (40 to 100 inches), and some regions even experience 4,000 to 10,000 mm (160 to 394 inches) over just 117 days. Indeed, if you conduct a quick search on which country receives the most rainfall annually, you'll discover that we rank 74th on that list. Therefore, it's puzzling why there's a common belief that it's always raining in England. While we do experience some rainfall, it's significantly less than many other parts of the world.
It is not called 'Bucking Ham' Palace. It is pronounced Buckingem Palace. It always amazes me why visitors make a beeline for London. It is the last place on earth I would go to. Go to King's Cross or Euston Station. Get a train to somewhere nice!
The 'blown up' remark on St Paul's Cathedral is a direct reference to the peak of the Luftwaffe bombing on London just before Xmas day in 1940 when many of the buildings in the City of London were hit and destroyed. The fire was so intense and it turned into a fire storm. The bombing also damaged the pipework, cutting most of the water supply. Consequently, the fire fighters could do nothing but to watch the city burnt. Then on the morning of 23rd, amongst the ruins and chaos, they saw the great dome of St Paul's emerging from the black smoke, apparently still standing and intact while most of the buildings around it were burnt out and destroyed. Every now and then, they still hold a remembrance service at St Paul's for its deliverance!
They couldn't even draw water from the Thames as it was one of the lowest tides ever. Churchill sent out the message: "Let the rest burn, but save St. Paul's"
I'm with you on the mayonnaise. I don't like it either and it's not just afternoon tea. It is almost impossible to get a ready made sandwich anywhere at any time that doesn't have mayonnaise on it.
Whenever I go to London, I always end up shouting street names, because for me, its like a real life Monopoly board! 😆 And I also got stopped by staff twice in London - once in the Ritz, I wanted to see where they served afternoon tea, but my coat fell open and they saw I was wearing jeans, and in Purdeys gun shop - I was trying to sneak a peak into the room where you get invited if you're buying a shotgun of theirs, but are not allowed otherwise. Oh well, at least I got in Harrods too. Really enjoyed last night. Thanks for doing the live, and keep clapping back! 😉
Thanks for watching monopoly in the USA is based of Atlantic City NJ, boardwalk park place, I actually never knew it was different until an episode of only fools and horses they was calling out names and I was like “ that’s different “ lol
I have lived in London for 43 years and never seen the changing of the guard, it is perhaps strange what you don't bother with when you live in the city/place in question.
When my children were small they were invited to harrods to see the santa claus. The morning included the visit,food and a couple of hours browsing in the shop prior to opening. They got a harrods bear and a tree decoration with a printed picture of the harrods store on it.
That afternoon tea was a fake version, got to watch for that in touristy areas. The best places are either posh hotels or restaurants, or cream teas mostly in the West Country. For the record beans are not traditional for full English, neither are hash browns, of course, if you had black pudding with it that's regional and not to my taste. Harrods is for viewing only for most people, Fortnum & Mason's is really lovely and more manageable, my preference when in London, also pricey though. I always feel that St Paul's must have been saved by Divine Intervention. Cathedrals are churches of course, but we always refer to cathedral as such to acknowledge their status of being higher than a regular church. 🤪🙋♀️🇬🇧
I've only just found your channel today and I have already watched a couple of your videos. One thing I will say is that if you ask 95% of Brits we will say London is a tourist trap. It's the place that's always talked about by Americans as if it's the only place within the UK to visit. The truth is London is a very big, cosmopolitan city that's geared towards mass tourism and to take your money. Yes, there's some things worth seeing there but London isn't the UK or even England. There's so much more to be explored. To get a better idea of the beauty, the culture, the history of the UK you need to travel around the UK a lot more. Places like the lake district, the Yorkshire dales and the countryside in general to see the beauty of the English countryside. See the small, rural villages that have hundreds of years of history like the tiny Lincolnshire village I grew up in has a grade 1 listed parish church that dates back to 1068. There's also a house close to where I live that dates back to the 1300s that even today is just someone's house. It's not a museum, it's just a family's home. Once you get off the beaten track you can still find historic stuff everywhere but it is a lot quieter, more peaceful and you won't be herded amongst a million other tourists. Like you said about castles in one of your very recent videos, they are often just lying there in the middle of nowhere. This is true of many historic things and not only castles. I hope you visit the UK again soon and don't fall into the London trap again. Get a hire car and drive around the country more. Go to cities like Bath, York and my local Lincoln with so much history but also places like the Cotswolds which have some of the prettiest little villages amongst beautiful countryside. Visit the village pubs, go for walks along the extensive network of public historic footpaths that so often go through beautiful countryside. I like the enthusiasm I've seen you both show towards the UK in the other videos I've watched so far and I will be watching future videos on what I hope will be an enjoyable journey on learning so much more about the UK.
I agree, I just skipped the Queen's Guard part because it is just so touristy. If I had a day in the UK the queen and big ben wouldn't be close to the top of my list. Bath and York are solid shouts now they've seen London they should compare to somewhere else.
Why you Americans or anybody else is fixated with 'afternoon tea' is beyond me. Its not a tradition anymore and was only an upper-class victorian tradition of the rich. Nobody does it anymore 🤔😂
@@Trippingthroughadventures 😂😂 agree, a full English is much better. A nice treat now and again. Dont eat it too often or else you'll be buying larger clothes 🤔😉🙂👍
@@Trippingthroughadventures you need to try a Traditional Cumberland sausage surprised at the tea usually you get a good choice without mayo another try traditional ploughmans lunch.
I don't think that many Americans appreciate just how much the UK was on the Front Line during World War II. Just take a look at the figures for civilian war fatalities on home soil in the two countries and you will get the picture: USA Hawaii: 68 (Pearl Harbor Attack) Alaska (Aleutian Islands Campaign, 1942 - 1943): 10 The 48 Contiguous States: 6 (Balloon Bomb, Oregon) TOTAL: 84 UNITED KINGDOM 70,000+ (Largely due to German bombing raids, V1 and V2 attacks) (If you pro-rata that up to take into account the larger population of the USA it would equal nearly 250,000 American civilian casualties.) Now do you understand? 🙂
Americans is taught propaganda that America is number 1 we spanked Germany it couldn’t have been won without us, now I will say, in the pacific theater, this was most likely true, but in Europe, from everything I’ve seen, the British from the west and the soviets from the east was over loading the Germans, they was spread to thin, having troops as far north as Finland and Norway, and south to North Africa, they started fighting the strongest of the allies, aka the winter, soviets and Brit’s cutting off supply chains, this was devastating an already spread to thin army. America just really insured and sped up something that seemed for sure. If anything the extra force, helped from drawing out and already bloody war, but it was far from the helpless situation that America turned the tide of as presented by America today.
@@Trippingthroughadventures You mentioned the Americans in the Pacific Theatre of War but not the British involvement in that conflict. For instance ships of the Royal Navy supporting the invasion of Okinawa or the aircraft carrier on loan, which like all UK flat tops, had armoured flight desks, so easily repairable unlike US carriers.
Wouldn’t surprise me, our government controls everything else and a good way to tell is…. If it’s really shit…. It’s probably ran by our government 🤣😂🤣🤣
👍 you could probably get a much better Full English for a fraction of the price if you go somewhere much less touristy - come back and try out many more Full English breakfasts and let us know what you think. Shame about your visit to see Changing of the Guard - unfortunately, rain happens... (quite frequently over here!). Looking forward to next week's video.
Thanks Alex, that’s already a plan, a lot more Sunday roast and a lot more English breakfast, the plan is to fly there and then get enough buoyancy to float back 😂🤣😂
"I like to steal at home too" 😅🤣😂 I got suspended from primary school, when we all went to Buckingham Palace, so ive never seen the changing of the guard either. We are optimistic about our weather, and always hope its a nice day. Wimbledon took years to finally get roofs on 2 courts out of all the tennis courts. I'm not a mayo fan either, i don't get it. I'm the same with beans Tiffany is your wife, so i won't do any English sausage jokes. lol
As someone who lives in London and who has travelled the world, London has some of the best food available anywhere in the world! So either they got unlucky choosing bad restaurants/vendors etc, or are picky.
When things go right, you were expecting something and it usually disappoints. When thing are spontaneous you get bonus that just flows with enjoyment and can sometimes be much better as it's not planned.
English breakfast is ok but you can't have it everyday. Beans on toast is a very English thing but it is awful and its cheap and don't blame your wife not liking it. In Harrods. most of the people hang around at the basement area where the food section and food court is because that is where it has stuff most of the people can afford to buy. It's not unusual that the real customers of Harrods spend up to £250k per shopping trip when they visit the store. In the old days before everyone uses credit cards, a lot of the wives with rich Middle East husbands would walk into Harrods with 2 bodyguards with one carrying a box with £500k cash in it and they did and still do spend half or a million pounds in one shopping trip like nothing! Say a nice and pretty outdoor coat for a child of 6 to 8 years old would easily set you back £3000 in Harrods. However, It does do an annual sales around Xmas time and that is when the middle class people go there, trying to get a real bargain! In London, one should always visit the historical palaces like Hampton Court and the Tower of London for crown jewels and the art galleries. In the evening, one should try to go to a musical or an opera if interested.
We are having unusual weather here in Florida as well, not enough rain and too hot to fast, 98 f 99 f at the end of the week. We don’t usually see that until end of July first of August.
We tend to refer to cathedrals as cathedrals, but strictly ' cathedral' is short for "cathedral church" ( i.e. a church with a a Bishop's throne in it), so there's nothing really wrong to referring to cathedral as a church.
People just want to sound smart, I don’t think a lot of people are aware of the cathedra situation either lol. I think they really just think it’s like a Pokémon that a a cathedrals a church’s second form where it’s larger lol.
I live about an hour from London growing up, and as a twenty year old i would travel there a lot,, the first times i was even amazed at the posters going up the tube escalator 😂 Id suggest you,, particularly as American tourists perhaps, maybe find UA-cam videos on the following,, The changing of the guard The royal tournament Last night of the Proms The history of Kew gardens and the Chelsea flower show Windsor castle interiors Buckingham palace state rooms The Household cavalry museum The royal mews home to gilded royal coaches Kensington palace,, Hampton court Palace,, Blenheim palace Richmond park Red Arrows Sandringham Estate Balmoral Hillsborough Castle and gardens Caernarfon castle Trooping the Colour Beating Retreat State opening of Parliament Garter Service Remembrance Sunday Scarlet and Gold Kings Birthday parade 15th of June 🎉 huzzah!!😊😅
I noticed that your “traditional English breakfast” contained a hash brown. I can’t remember when hashbrowns started appearing in the “full English”, but it wasn’t that long ago. It is actually an American import. A traditional “traditional English“ would have fried bread.
One really must stop being offended about this "Traditional English Breakfast" thing. I'm from Ulster & an English breakfast if served to me would feel like I was getting half a traditional fry up. Probably the same in Scotland. My Ulster fry would contain soda farl & potato fwrl & it better have veggie roll. A Scottish breakfast would have Lorne sausage & Link sausage & Potato scone. The Welsh would have something different & in Ireland it's VBlack & White pudding. As I'm sure the fried breakfast became a staple throughout the 2 islands just call it a Traditional fry up Laddie. An English breakfast leaves me Hungry because its far from a Full Ulster Full Scottish or a Full Welsh. A bit of fried bread & a Hash brown only make it closer to a traditional breakfast & where is the fried apple ? No pork should be eaten with out apple sauce slice supplement. Henry the Viii the certainly wouldn't of allowed a Suckling Pig be cooked without an apple in its gob !!
So in the uk you guys poor beans all over a piece of toast the beans and toast was served separately in this cuz it was a full English. So I took a spoon full of beans and put on the dry toast.
@@TrippingthroughadventuresBeans on toast is a sperate meal in itself. A quick snack, lunch or tea. Even a quick breakfast. NEVER as part of a full English.
St Pauls wasn't a legitimate target. Doubtless the Nazis didn't target it specifically because they didn't want the RAF to retaliate by attacking their historic landmarks. That didn't work out too well in the end. They did liberally drop incendiaries, to start fires that would then help night bombers find their targets. "Keep calm & Carry on" was not actually used during WW2. Though it's claimed to have been devised then, slogans & posters were more practical: "make do & mend", "loose lips sink ships"....
Yup it kinda worked for you but usually we eat beans on toast or cheese on toast with a knife and fork as it can get messy. Tbh, anything cooked on toast we use a knife and fork and uncooked stuff on toast we use hands.
Nothing wrong with using your hands when it's smaller bits of toast. Don't think I've ever eaten beans on toast with a knife and fork except to cut it into smaller bits, especially when it's with a breakfast. It's messier with a fork as the beans just keep falling off
The workaround is what you saw. There’s no functional reason to change guards like that really. It’s just done like that for tradition and tourists, They could just arrive in a vehicle.
Fair enough lol we wasn’t burnt up over it, it be pretty boring for a video to wait all morning, an then be like “ oh it’s canceled “ and then move on lol.
The issue is, it's only a stereotype. It rains more in North America than London, It just happened to be a rain forecast when you visited, so that will buy into your uneducated narrative.
Sorry, although I think what your saying, it’s actually rains way more in Florida We can entertain and cut jokes at a stereotype, idk how someone could further our joke to any concern, no more than British making jokes of our portion sizes or sizes in general. lol or how dumb we are etc… lol I think the British can handle a little teasing 😂
London has half the annual rainfall of New York and less than Paris, Madrid, Sydney etc. If London was a US state it would rank as the tenth driest !!It gets grey during the Winter months as we have very little snow due to the Gulf Stream effect which runs up the West side of the UK and that is why we have Palm Trees as far up as Scotland It's nice and Sunny and 76 F at the moment and due to get warmer this week. So believe me it's a myth that it always raining !!!
Actually I think it rains more here in Florida than almost anywhere in Europe. In the summer it’s almost 70% most days but it’s from the heat, so you can set your watch that around 2-3 pm until 5 it’s rains, but it’s straight sunshine before and after. We were just teasing on the stereotype lol.
St Paul's was a beacon of hope during the war , you should look into the rationing the people had during war time , all efforts were put into defeating nazi Germany we were never going to give in or surrender . I missed your stickey toffee pud video so will watch later 😊❤
As an Englishman, I really can't understand why anybody would want to visit Buckingham Palace, it's just a huge, ugly house. It's not even that old, probably built less than 250 years ago.
Nothing wrong with eating beans on toast with your hands. I wouldn't try it with a full or half slice of bread but as a smaller bite why not, especially with a breakfast. Definitely not rude
Don't emphasise the HAM in Buckingham. It's BUCKING UM. Anything ending in HAM is usually pronounced UM. I don't know why there was so much Mayo on everything !!?? I've had afternoon tea and NEVER had Mayo on the sandwiches ! Why are you eating the beans on toast with your hands !!?? You should use a knife and fork.
@@Trippingthroughadventures A bit messy sometimes, but if it suits you, eat with your hands. As long as the bread is thick enough to not collapse, it is fine.

Just Guards. The King's/Queen's guard is a job they do. Most of the time they aren't even doing it. If the King's somewhere else, they're the palace guard.
@@ethelmini Seeing as how Charles III is the commander in chief of all the British military I think it's correct to call them the King's Guard. Wherever he is they are still his guards.You can't change the title because he isn't there. What your saying is that if the King is not present The KING's TROOP Royal Horse Artillery doesn't exist.
We know that but, every one knows the tower as Big Ben lol, we are going to have a vlog where we talk about stuff like that though. Like how high teas not really a thing like people think it is, big Ben’s really the Elizabeth tower etc..
Oh I don't know, best museums in the country, best restaurants, (some of the) best historical sites, best entertainment and nightlife. I can't imagine why a tourist would want to visit London either. There's an awful lot of jealousy and nastiness towards London from parts of the rest of the country and those same people will then tell you with the barest-faced cheek that they're nicer people than Londoners!

Of course there is, but as a Londoner myself, the “tourist trap” is full of interesting history, great architecture, amazing restaurants, shopping, and fun things to do. Just because you don’t like London doesn’t mean others shouldn’t visit it.
You were unlucky with the rain it really isn't that bad always, in fact London has less rain than New York, on average, such a shame for you both. Of course travelling out of season is always a gamble 🥴
Bad choices because you didnt do proper reserch. St Pauls was bombed during WW11 and one wing was significantly damaged and had to be rebuilt. We also dont do work arounds on 1000s of years of tradition and history. But carry on we love to be corrected by visiting Americans.
You’ll find I have a very dry sense of humor, being not far down from my British grandparents lol. My wife tells my family “ just assume he’s not serious unless he tells you he is “ lol I found the humor in the irony of a country known for its heavy rain was on a rain delay. No deeper than that. lol
Just re watched this video. Meant to be a joke but far from it. Why are you wasting your money coming to Britain if you want to ridicule the place? I have a very good sense of humour but your constant whining is ridiculous.
So depends on what type of Floridian you are so if you come from the Spanish side it be something like a cafe con leche and a guava and cheese pastry, if you come from the southern side, it would be a southern sausage, grits, eggs, biscuit and sugar cane syrup.

The guards don't change to please and perform for tourists, that goes on regardless of whether spectators are there or not! They change duties, and according to ancient custom and bearing in mind the weather for activities included! Tourists free presence is incidental, not the deciding factor!

It always amazes me why visitors make a beeline for London. It is the last place on earth I would go to. Go to King's Cross or Euston Station. Get a train to somewhere nice!
The 'blown up' remark on St Paul's Cathedral is a direct reference to the peak of the Luftwaffe bombing on London just before Xmas day in 1940 when many of the buildings in the City of London were hit and destroyed. The fire was so intense and it turned into a fire storm. The bombing also damaged the pipework, cutting most of the water supply. Consequently, the fire fighters could do nothing but to watch the city burnt. Then on the morning of 23rd, amongst the ruins and chaos, they saw the great dome of St Paul's emerging from the black smoke, apparently still standing and intact while most of the buildings around it were burnt out and destroyed. Every now and then, they still hold a remembrance service at St Paul's for its deliverance!
They couldn't even draw water from the Thames as it was one of the lowest tides ever.
Churchill sent out the message: "Let the rest burn, but save St. Paul's"
I'm with you on the mayonnaise. I don't like it either and it's not just afternoon tea. It is almost impossible to get a ready made sandwich anywhere at any time that doesn't have mayonnaise on it.
Whenever I go to London, I always end up shouting street names, because for me, its like a real life Monopoly board! 😆 And I also got stopped by staff twice in London - once in the Ritz, I wanted to see where they served afternoon tea, but my coat fell open and they saw I was wearing jeans, and in Purdeys gun shop - I was trying to sneak a peak into the room where you get invited if you're buying a shotgun of theirs, but are not allowed otherwise. Oh well, at least I got in Harrods too. Really enjoyed last night. Thanks for doing the live, and keep clapping back! 😉
Thanks for watching monopoly in the USA is based of Atlantic City NJ, boardwalk park place, I actually never knew it was different until an episode of only fools and horses they was calling out names and I was like “ that’s different “ lol
I have lived in London for 43 years and never seen the changing of the guard, it is perhaps strange what you don't bother with when you live in the city/place in question.
Well if you tried to look at everything of significance in London, I don’t think you would have time for anything else in your life lol 😂
&" years living in London and I've never seen it either.
Those soldiers have job to do, uts not a circus
When my children were small they were invited to harrods to see the santa claus. The morning included the visit,food and a couple of hours browsing in the shop prior to opening. They got a harrods bear and a tree decoration with a printed picture of the harrods store on it.
Love the clapbacks! One love from Scotland. 💙
Thank you 😊
NOT Bucking-Ham palace
Bucking-UM Palace !
lol we are working on it so far we got
Borough= bur -ruh
Shire = shure
And a few others… so we actually do take these comments seriously lol
I'd write them as BA-ra and SHA. The English R is weak at best, and silent except before a vowel.
@@neuralwarp unless you have West Country accent like myself
@@Trippingthroughadventures Just say Buck House, it's easier.
That afternoon tea was a fake version, got to watch for that in touristy areas. The best places are
either posh hotels or restaurants, or cream teas mostly in the West Country.
For the record beans are not traditional for full English, neither are hash browns, of course, if you had black pudding with it that's regional and not to my taste.
Harrods is for viewing only for most people, Fortnum & Mason's is really lovely and more manageable, my preference when in London, also pricey though.
I always feel that St Paul's must have been saved by Divine Intervention.
Cathedrals are churches of course, but we always refer to cathedral as such to acknowledge their status of being higher than a regular church. 🤪🙋♀️🇬🇧
Cool, yes the weather is cool!
You saw the work around. When it's raining, they scale it back. Job done.
Yea fair enough like we said for people like us it’s still amazing 🤩
I'm sure Disney has ways to gert around the rain. However, despite so many American expectations, London is not actually a theme park.
@@TrippingthroughadventuresLondon is vast . It has 10 million people . Take your time . Come back when you can .
I've only just found your channel today and I have already watched a couple of your videos.
One thing I will say is that if you ask 95% of Brits we will say London is a tourist trap. It's the place that's always talked about by Americans as if it's the only place within the UK to visit. The truth is London is a very big, cosmopolitan city that's geared towards mass tourism and to take your money. Yes, there's some things worth seeing there but London isn't the UK or even England. There's so much more to be explored.
To get a better idea of the beauty, the culture, the history of the UK you need to travel around the UK a lot more.
Places like the lake district, the Yorkshire dales and the countryside in general to see the beauty of the English countryside. See the small, rural villages that have hundreds of years of history like the tiny Lincolnshire village I grew up in has a grade 1 listed parish church that dates back to 1068. There's also a house close to where I live that dates back to the 1300s that even today is just someone's house. It's not a museum, it's just a family's home.
Once you get off the beaten track you can still find historic stuff everywhere but it is a lot quieter, more peaceful and you won't be herded amongst a million other tourists. Like you said about castles in one of your very recent videos, they are often just lying there in the middle of nowhere. This is true of many historic things and not only castles.
I hope you visit the UK again soon and don't fall into the London trap again. Get a hire car and drive around the country more. Go to cities like Bath, York and my local Lincoln with so much history but also places like the Cotswolds which have some of the prettiest little villages amongst beautiful countryside. Visit the village pubs, go for walks along the extensive network of public historic footpaths that so often go through beautiful countryside.
I like the enthusiasm I've seen you both show towards the UK in the other videos I've watched so far and I will be watching future videos on what I hope will be an enjoyable journey on learning so much more about the UK.
I agree, I just skipped the Queen's Guard part because it is just so touristy. If I had a day in the UK the queen and big ben wouldn't be close to the top of my list. Bath and York are solid shouts now they've seen London they should compare to somewhere else.
Everything worth seeing is in London - most northern towns are small and have little to offer
Why you Americans or anybody else is fixated with 'afternoon tea' is beyond me. Its not a tradition anymore and was only an upper-class victorian tradition of the rich. Nobody does it anymore 🤔😂
Idk it’s just something Americans got in their mind it’s a must do… full English is way better 😂🤣😇
@@Trippingthroughadventures 😂😂 agree, a full English is much better. A nice treat now and again. Dont eat it too often or else you'll be buying larger clothes 🤔😉🙂👍
@@Kingshieldwall already went down that rabbit hole with beans and toast something’s got to give 😂🤣😅
@@Trippingthroughadventures love it, great choice. Keep up the good work 😉🙂👍
@@Trippingthroughadventures you need to try a Traditional Cumberland sausage surprised at the tea usually you get a good choice without mayo another try traditional ploughmans lunch.
I don't think that many Americans appreciate just how much the UK was on the Front Line during World War II.
Just take a look at the figures for civilian war fatalities on home soil in the two countries and you will get the picture:
USA
Hawaii: 68 (Pearl Harbor Attack)
Alaska (Aleutian Islands Campaign, 1942 - 1943): 10
The 48 Contiguous States: 6 (Balloon Bomb, Oregon)
TOTAL: 84
UNITED KINGDOM
70,000+ (Largely due to German bombing raids, V1 and V2 attacks)
(If you pro-rata that up to take into account the larger population of the USA it would equal nearly 250,000 American civilian casualties.)
Now do you understand? 🙂
Americans is taught propaganda that America is number 1 we spanked Germany it couldn’t have been won without us, now I will say, in the pacific theater, this was most likely true, but in Europe, from everything I’ve seen, the British from the west and the soviets from the east was over loading the Germans, they was spread to thin, having troops as far north as Finland and Norway, and south to North Africa, they started fighting the strongest of the allies, aka the winter, soviets and Brit’s cutting off supply chains, this was devastating an already spread to thin army. America just really insured and sped up something that seemed for sure. If anything the extra force, helped from drawing out and already bloody war, but it was far from the helpless situation that America turned the tide of as presented by America today.
@@Trippingthroughadventures You mentioned the Americans in the Pacific Theatre of War but not the British involvement in that conflict. For instance ships of the Royal Navy supporting the invasion of Okinawa or the aircraft carrier on loan, which like all UK flat tops, had armoured flight desks, so easily repairable unlike US carriers.
Do we control the weather? Perhaps Anericans do.
Wouldn’t surprise me, our government controls everything else and a good way to tell is…. If it’s really shit…. It’s probably ran by our government 🤣😂🤣🤣
👍 you could probably get a much better Full English for a fraction of the price if you go somewhere much less touristy - come back and try out many more Full English breakfasts and let us know what you think.
Shame about your visit to see Changing of the Guard - unfortunately, rain happens... (quite frequently over here!).
Looking forward to next week's video.
Thanks Alex, that’s already a plan, a lot more Sunday roast and a lot more English breakfast, the plan is to fly there and then get enough buoyancy to float back 😂🤣😂
@@Trippingthroughadventures lol!
There's changing of the guard and trooping the colour on you tube. You can see what you missed.
We watched them it’s pretty impressive
Big Ben is the 🔔. The tower is Elizabeth Tower, and the building is the Palace of Westminster 👍 99% of tourists don't know that. 😉
Thank you for the information ☺️
100% of UA-cam pedants know it though.
@@totallypixelated yes we want to do a vlog of little known facts of England add that one in lol.
"I like to steal at home too" 😅🤣😂
I got suspended from primary school, when we all went to Buckingham Palace, so ive never seen the changing of the guard either.
We are optimistic about our weather, and always hope its a nice day. Wimbledon took years to finally get roofs on 2 courts out of all the tennis courts.
I'm not a mayo fan either, i don't get it. I'm the same with beans
Tiffany is your wife, so i won't do any English sausage jokes. lol
Finally someone caught it 🤣😂🤣
Awesome video!!! Just curious, it seems you had issues with the food? Are yall picky eaters or the British food just wasn't that good??
As someone who lives in London and who has travelled the world, London has some of the best food available anywhere in the world! So either they got unlucky choosing bad restaurants/vendors etc, or are picky.
When things go right, you were expecting something and it usually disappoints. When thing are spontaneous you get bonus that just flows with enjoyment and can sometimes be much better as it's not planned.
English breakfast is ok but you can't have it everyday. Beans on toast is a very English thing but it is awful and its cheap and don't blame your wife not liking it. In Harrods. most of the people hang around at the basement area where the food section and food court is because that is where it has stuff most of the people can afford to buy. It's not unusual that the real customers of Harrods spend up to £250k per shopping trip when they visit the store. In the old days before everyone uses credit cards, a lot of the wives with rich Middle East husbands would walk into Harrods with 2 bodyguards with one carrying a box with £500k cash in it and they did and still do spend half or a million pounds in one shopping trip like nothing! Say a nice and pretty outdoor coat for a child of 6 to 8 years old would easily set you back £3000 in Harrods. However, It does do an annual sales around Xmas time and that is when the middle class people go there, trying to get a real bargain! In London, one should always visit the historical palaces like Hampton Court and the Tower of London for crown jewels and the art galleries. In the evening, one should try to go to a musical or an opera if interested.
Sustained rain in London is rare but just recently we are in a low-pressure area and the weather is misbehaving.
We are having unusual weather here in Florida as well, not enough rain and too hot to fast, 98 f 99 f at the end of the week. We don’t usually see that until end of July first of August.
We tend to refer to cathedrals as cathedrals, but strictly ' cathedral' is short for "cathedral church" ( i.e. a church with a a Bishop's throne in it), so there's nothing really wrong to referring to cathedral as a church.
People just want to sound smart, I don’t think a lot of people are aware of the cathedra situation either lol. I think they really just think it’s like a Pokémon that a a cathedrals a church’s second form where it’s larger lol.
I think you would like the edited video of the Trooping of the Colour, it's quite remarkable, it celebrates the Kings birthday.
London is not England
Harrods is over 200 yrs old. Older than the US.
I was unaware that harrods is that old that’s really interesting 🧐
you only find cathedrals in cities of England, good vids btw
When I went to Harrods they had a watch that cost £250 thousand pounds 😊😊

I noticed that your “traditional English breakfast” contained a hash brown. I can’t remember when hashbrowns started appearing in the “full English”, but it wasn’t that long ago. It is actually an American import. A traditional “traditional English“ would have fried bread.
Sorry We are new here lol fried bread sounds great and we didn’t get no black pudding either kind of disappointing lol
One really must stop being offended about this
"Traditional English Breakfast" thing.
I'm from Ulster & an English breakfast if served to me would feel like I was getting half a traditional fry up.
Probably the same in Scotland.
My Ulster fry would contain soda farl & potato fwrl & it better have veggie roll. A Scottish breakfast would have Lorne sausage & Link sausage & Potato scone.
The Welsh would have something different & in Ireland it's VBlack & White pudding.
As I'm sure the fried breakfast became a staple throughout the 2 islands just call it a Traditional fry up Laddie.
An English breakfast leaves me Hungry because its far from a Full Ulster Full Scottish or a Full Welsh. A bit of fried bread & a Hash brown only make it closer to a traditional breakfast & where is the fried apple ? No pork should be eaten with out apple sauce slice supplement.
Henry the Viii the certainly wouldn't of allowed a Suckling Pig be cooked without an apple in its gob !!
Why do you hold beans on toast in your hands. In UK we use knife & fork.
So in the uk you guys poor beans all over a piece of toast the beans and toast was served separately in this cuz it was a full English. So I took a spoon full of beans and put on the dry toast.
@@TrippingthroughadventuresBeans on toast is a sperate meal in itself. A quick snack, lunch or tea. Even a quick breakfast. NEVER as part of a full English.
I love you two 😀👍🏻❤️
Thank you 😊
It’s St Paul’s Cathedral - the clue is in the name (and your screenshot).
No they got mad because I would refer to it as a beautiful “church” I was just being cheeky there like “ Saint Paul’s cathedral is a beautiful church”
St Pauls wasn't a legitimate target. Doubtless the Nazis didn't target it specifically because they didn't want the RAF to retaliate by attacking their historic landmarks. That didn't work out too well in the end. They did liberally drop incendiaries, to start fires that would then help night bombers find their targets.
"Keep calm & Carry on" was not actually used during WW2. Though it's claimed to have been devised then, slogans & posters were more practical: "make do & mend", "loose lips sink ships"....
Why are you eating beans on toast with your hands? Never seen that before!
Well to be fair I was taking a spoon full of beens at a time and putting it on the toast, in America you eat toast with ur hands. lol
@@Trippingthroughadventures Yes, we eat toast with our hands but not when it covered with beans.
Yup it kinda worked for you but usually we eat beans on toast or cheese on toast with a knife and fork as it can get messy. Tbh, anything cooked on toast we use a knife and fork and uncooked stuff on toast we use hands.
Nothing wrong with using your hands when it's smaller bits of toast. Don't think I've ever eaten beans on toast with a knife and fork except to cut it into smaller bits, especially when it's with a breakfast. It's messier with a fork as the beans just keep falling off
@@pamparker68I’ve never eaten it without and I’ve never seen that but we live and learn
Lol stay in america if you don't like it hence why I will never visit the USA again not for me.
Haha but we did like it …. That’s the whole point of the video lol 😂 🤣😂🤣
No offence meant take it as tongue in cheek British sarcasm.
@@Trippingthroughadventures lol we can sound offensive but it's just friendly banter I watched your live last night. Have a good one enjoy.
The workaround is what you saw. There’s no functional reason to change guards like that really. It’s just done like that for tradition and tourists, They could just arrive in a vehicle.
Fair enough lol we wasn’t burnt up over it, it be pretty boring for a video to wait all morning, an then be like “ oh it’s canceled “ and then move on lol.
@@Trippingthroughadventuresmaybe they should cancel than do a half arsed thing on wet days

The issue is, it's only a stereotype. It rains more in North America than London, It just happened to be a rain forecast when you visited, so that will buy into your uneducated narrative.
Sorry, although I think what your saying, it’s actually rains way more in Florida We can entertain and cut jokes at a stereotype, idk how someone could further our joke to any concern, no more than British making jokes of our portion sizes or sizes in general. lol or how dumb we are etc… lol I think the British can handle a little teasing 😂
It rains more in lots of places but it tends to be overcast and light rain more in the UK as opposed to heavy downpours then sun etc
@@Trippingthroughadventures Well I won't be going to Florida anytime soon then! lol
London has half the annual rainfall of New York and less than Paris, Madrid, Sydney etc. If London was a US state it would rank as the tenth driest !!It gets grey during the Winter months as we have very little snow due to the Gulf Stream effect which runs up the West side of the UK and that is why we have Palm Trees as far up as Scotland It's nice and Sunny and 76 F at the moment and due to get warmer this week. So believe me it's a myth that it always raining !!!
Actually I think it rains more here in Florida than almost anywhere in Europe. In the summer it’s almost 70% most days but it’s from the heat, so you can set your watch that around 2-3 pm until 5 it’s rains, but it’s straight sunshine before and after. We were just teasing on the stereotype lol.
I used to know a butchers that did 50 different sausages 😂🎉
You might be confusing Trooping of the Colours with Changing of the Guard, you should youtube that first one.
St Paul's was a beacon of hope during the war , you should look into the rationing the people had during war time , all efforts were put into defeating nazi Germany we were never going to give in or surrender . I missed your stickey toffee pud video so will watch later 😊❤
That would be very interesting to look into, sorry we missed you we got some more lives planned so hopefully see you in the next one 😇
You should react to 13 hours that saved Britain. It’s about the Battle of Britain.

As an Englishman, I really can't understand why anybody would want to visit Buckingham Palace, it's just a huge, ugly house. It's not even that old, probably built less than 250 years ago.
Idk same with the White House it’s small tacky and stupid and nobody likes the person living there 😂🤣😂
Buckingham place built early 1800s, Queen Victoria was the first resident monarch.
Please don’t eat beans on toast that way, it’s rude. Please use a knife and fork like a civilised person.
Nothing wrong with eating beans on toast with your hands. I wouldn't try it with a full or half slice of bread but as a smaller bite why not, especially with a breakfast. Definitely not rude
We eat toast with our hands in America, and pizza, it’s weird not to lol but when in Rome, I guess lol. 😂

Not the Queen's Guard any more, but the King's Guard.
Just Guards. The King's/Queen's guard is a job they do. Most of the time they aren't even doing it. If the King's somewhere else, they're the palace guard.
@@ethelmini Seeing as how Charles III is the commander in chief of all the British military I think it's correct to call them the King's Guard. Wherever he is they are still his guards.You can't change the title because he isn't there. What your saying is that if the King is not present The KING's TROOP Royal Horse Artillery doesn't exist.
You can’t see Big Ben. Big Ben is the bell inside the Queen Elizabeth II tower not the tower.

Oh I don't know, best museums in the country, best restaurants, (some of the) best historical sites, best entertainment and nightlife. I can't imagine why a tourist would want to visit London either.

Bad choices because you didnt do proper reserch. St Pauls was bombed during WW11 and one wing was significantly damaged and had to be rebuilt. We also dont do work arounds on 1000s of years of tradition and history. But carry on we love to be corrected by visiting Americans.
You’ll find I have a very dry sense of humor, being not far down from my British grandparents lol. My wife tells my family “ just assume he’s not serious unless he tells you he is “ lol I found the humor in the irony of a country known for its heavy rain was on a rain delay. No deeper than that. lol
Keep that in mind if you watch the St. Paul’s video 🤣😅🤣 cuz a lot of Brit’s are not use to an American having a dry sense of humor.
Just re watched this video. Meant to be a joke but far from it. Why are you wasting your money coming to Britain if you want to ridicule the place?
I have a very good sense of humour but your constant whining is ridiculous.
Understand the tourist things, but the best bits aren't. More to see than just the tourist bits. Get out of London
You're a sweet couple. Is there a classic Florida breakfast?
So depends on what type of Floridian you are so if you come from the Spanish side it be something like a cafe con leche and a guava and cheese pastry, if you come from the southern side, it would be a southern sausage, grits, eggs, biscuit and sugar cane syrup.
@@Trippingthroughadventures Cool. Thanks for the info - I'd be happy with either of those!
Cane syrup is really something you can only get in the very south eastern us it has a very unique taste we might cook a Florida breakfast one time on a live lol
There is now ... Beans on Toast.
Preservatives, additive junk.
An interesting fact that many people may not realize is that regions in Asia, including Japan, receive significantly more rainfall than we do. The only distinction is that our experiences are distributed throughout 365 days, while theirs are condensed into three to four months.On average, England experiences rain on 165 days per year, with an average annual rainfall of 23 inches. In contrast, Japan receives significantly more rainfall, ranging from 1,000 to 2,500 mm (40 to 100 inches), and some regions even experience 4,000 to 10,000 mm (160 to 394 inches) over just 117 days. Indeed, if you conduct a quick search on which country receives the most rainfall annually, you'll discover that we rank 74th on that list. Therefore, it's puzzling why there's a common belief that it's always raining in England. While we do experience some rainfall, it's significantly less than many other parts of the world.
Yes I think Florida receives more rain than the uk lol
Not true pal before last year the most rainy days we've had in the UK was around 150, last year the record was broken with 171 rainy days so the average isn't 167 when the record in year was 150 ish.
Yea, we are like 130 days a year. Either way not to big of difference when u include the terrible storms and hurricanes here lol.
@@mattsmith5421 I'm assuming you either haven't read my input or you don't grasp the concept of an average.To clarify, an average is calculated from the least to the most significant aspect of something, with the middle value representing the average.
@@MrCoxy38 exactly and when the highest number is 150 it's impossible for the average to be 167. Unless you don't understand what an average is. What is the middle number between 110 and 150 err 167 lol

The best thing about London is the M1. That full English didn't even look fit for animals.
I was waiting for this comment, I got it from there, but there was a few signs that , it wasn’t a real deal breakfast but idk. It wasn’t bad my no means, mainly because most English breakfast is prepackaged stuff anyway, but it didn’t seem like a “ breakfast “ place you know?
@@Trippingthroughadventuresnothing should be pre packaged in an average to good full breakfast.

The guards don't change to please and perform for tourists, that goes on regardless of whether spectators are there or not! They change duties, and according to ancient custom and bearing in mind the weather for activities included! Tourists free presence is incidental, not the deciding factor!
