That's the best pronunciation of Gloucestershire by an American I've ever heard. Spot on ✌💙
I'm actually shocked, I didn't think Americans were capable of pronouncing it correctly. Now if someone could just explain to them the correct pronounciation of Tottenham.
Werster.. Werster Shire Sauce.. Worsester Shire... Worster Shire... Worst Ehh.... Worst Shite Sauce. Worsheshy.. War S-shy Shire Horse. Worst Shire Shores? Worse Easter Shire Smores? W-wer...
Get them to try say Worcestershire or Vauxhall
@@qasimbashir5117 ...or even Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch.
I'd say ya man has heard it afore, it's too good. If i was a Yank, no way would it get it right.
Check out the Atherstone ball game. It is medieval football and it's the most violent ball game you'll ever see. It takes place in Atherstone Warwickshire once a year. Basically the rule is 'don't kill anybody' the last person holding the ball at the end wins. The literally have to board up all the town's windows prior to the game.
yes :)

I second this request
That's right the Atherstone ball game
100% recommend it. Absolute mayhem.

This is what happens when you have “free” healthcare 🤣👍🏴
That's the best pronounciation of the word Gloucestershire I have ever heard from anyone outside the UK, it was perfect.
Outstanding pronunciation of Gloucestershire. First time I've ever heard an American seeing the name for the first time get it absolutely right! Well done sir!
5 stars!
This is the kind of event that can only really happen when health care is free
Like it Mr W.
Absolutely
But clearly not mental health care.
Except healthcare isnt free, that's a misconception due to everyone being forced to pay for it.
@@VXGaming well yes but instead of 1 bill for the ambulance to the hospital the doctors time and any treatment you would have to pay in america the cost is spread out over 12 months worth of taxes
"there's no way of catching that cheese" - you have very quickly pinpointed the fundamental flaw of this event. No-one ever catches the cheese.
You pronounced Gloucestershire spot on 👍
Just a normal afternoon in Gloucestershire 😆
I used to go on holiday with my foster parents they had a caravan which toured all over the UK 🇬🇧 I once entered a welly (Wellington boot) throwing competition somewhere in Yorkshire the winner is the one who throws the boot 👢the furthest 👍 I didn't win 🙄
Welly Wanging!!!
That was probably the inspiration for dwarf throwing
Me and My Girlfriend/Partner*** are returning to our roots in Gloucestershire soon.
*** I say Girlfriend/Partner but she is also my Sister,co-incidently....
@@Isleofskye probably also your mum.
@@mildredhubble6848 More than likely Mildred but I don't know who my Mum is. It could be you..
The cheese is a Double Gloucester cheese, it weighs about 8 pounds. The hill is so steep the cheese gets to the speed of up to 70mph. The participants often have to run up the hill at the end of the race.
There are 3 videos you should watch: 1. The Atherstone Ball Game (explanation and history are the best), 2. Flaming Tar Barrel Run in Ottery St. Mary's in Devon, 3. Scottish Highlands Games.
I'd add in the Maldon Mud Race - running across a river at low tide (mostly in fancy dress). A couple did it in their wedding outfits this year.
Another reason why you keep Brits on side. When it comes down to it we are frigging crazy!
Well done you said Gloucestershire perfectly right
This is over a hundred years old. The local council tried stopping it as people do break bones! You now enter at your own risk not surprisingly!!
It was recorded as an ancient event in records from 200 years ago.
That was a perfect pronunciation of Gloucester.
No it wasn't there is no shire on the end
Not often you hear Americans pronounce Gloucestershire right first time, well done!
Theres a shin-kicking contest at Chipping Camden, a small town in Gloucestershire, England, that dates back to 1612.
Shire is ALWAYS pronouced SHER. Lancashire (Lancasher), Yorkshire (Yorksher) etc etc. In ancient times the Kings Officer controlling the shire was the Sheriff (as in Sheriff of Nottingham in Robin Hood). Actually, the shires still have Sheriffs, although it's very much a ceremonial role.
Tell that to bilbo baggins
6:00 this guy is a Japanese TV personality. There is a show in Japan called ItteQ and they covered the cheese rolling competition, and he entered :)
This is classic UK craziness! You should check out the Atherstone Ball Game. It’s the root of all football games and dates back to medieval times. Absolutely brutal!
@Garry Arden yes it’s the Royal Shrovetide match, Ashbourne. May well be older actually. I was more meaning the style of game being the root of modern football games rather than the event itself.
Most of the time the winner goes to the pub gets drunk with everyone and eats the cheese. It started in 1826 and is on every UK’s spring bank holiday weekend.
The cheese rolling has become so popular now that the crowds are massive compared to crowds just 10 or 15 years ago. Well done on your pronunciation of Gloucestershire. Oh by the way, seeing the hill on screen doesn't do it justice. Seeing it in real life it is scary steep.
I've just read that the first written evidence of cheese rolling was in 1826, but it is believed that the tradition goes back 600 years.
The first person down the hill wins the race, and wins a wheel of double Gloucester cheese, and by the way king, you pronounced gloucester correctly, Gloucester cheese-rolling event is thought to be over 600 years old, if you enjoyed this you have to watch the "Atherstone ball game", the crazy british past and include "bog snorkeling" and "wife carryino"
and theyve had many many injuries broken bones torn ligaments knocked out etc etc etc !!!!!!!!!!!!
And welly throwing
@@kelvinjohnwaltho2221 but part of the fun😜
The wife carrying race is hilarious!
@@helenagreenwood2305 Welly wanging.
There's an ancient tradition that explains cheese rolling. The people from Gloucestershire are f***g crazy. Hope that explains it.
The lumberjack thing is a test of skill......Chasing a rolling cheese down a crazy hill is something anyone can turn up and have a go at......and they do :)
It's part of our Olympics along with such events as flaming tar barrels and shin kicking.
I lived in the City of Gloucester for many years and the cheese-rolling is one of the biggest events every year. The City is Gloucester and it is in the County of Gloucestershire, which you pronounced correctly. Congrats! Yes, you get the cheese if you win.
Sorry King Boomer, but Queen Boomer now has the claim for the best quote on the channel.
"If ya want ma daughta, ya gotta catch the cheese."
I was laughing so hard that I hurt my back so had to get pain killers.
A great reaction & much love from here in the UK
LOL thank you
@@KingBoomer as a side note. Your pronunciation of, Gloucestershire is pretty much spot on. The town name that I dare you to attempt to pronounce is, Loughborough. Good luck 🤣
You said Gloucestershire correctly. The winner gets the wheel of Double Gloucester cheese. People do get injured doing this.
Love to see you covering this. From age 11 I grew up in Gloucestershire - a county not a town - the city is the ancient City of Gloucester - and I once watched the Rolling with binoculars from a friend's garden in Brockworth.
The authorities are worried about the safety aspect, although they haven't a chance in hell of stopping it, since we've done it for hundreds of years... I think the biggest problem is the safety of the spectators; a large number of people standing on a steep slope isn't ideal.
Wikipedia says the first record is 1826, but it is probably very much older. It was likely to do with grazing rights - the winner getting them - but there is a serious suggestion that pagan ritual was originally involved, the round cheese symbolising the sun. There is a symbolic offering of food at the top. In Gloucestershire nothing like this would surprise me...
The traditional date is Whit Monday, but nowadays the Monday which is the Spring Bank Holiday - not always the same date - is when it's held.
You're right about the drinking. The locals tend to drink (very hard) cider. The catchers at the bottom are the local rugby club.
I live about 3 miles away from this hill. And trust me, it's a lot steeper in person! At the time of writing this, the next Cheese Rolling event is 18 days away on Sunday 5th June
I bet the concussion tent is the pub down the road. Gloucester was correct which is in Gloucestershire
The fun you can have with free heathcare
Btw it was first documented in the 1800s but believed to be over 600 years old!
In a local town to me in the Uk called Atherstone ( I lived there many years) there is a crazy ball game that takes up the entire main street that has been played once a year since 1199!!! its just as bonkers as the cheese rolling.
The cheese is travelling at about 70 miles per hour at the end of the slope.
The only prize, apart from bragging rights, is the round of double Gloucester cheese.
The slope is about 45°.
There is a paper notice at the entrance saying that the event is not officially sanctioned and you enter at your own risk. Universal Healthcare is wonderful.
Your pronunciation of "Glostershire" is correct but.... Gloucestershire is a county, roughly similar to your states, not a city or town. The city is Gloucester/Gloster.
The line of "catchers" are from the local Rugby club so are used to stopping big people.
The earliest record of the cheese rolling dates from the early 1800's but there is evidence the event is much older.
This is not 45degrees it's more like 60
No video shows this the champ Chris Anderson has won an amazing 28 times I think at last check
First to the bottom gets the cheese it's been caught once only
And the cheese runs 50mph to 70mph on rare occasions
The cheese makers where warned off from selling the organisers the cheese because it encourages it
So now they buy the cheese in fancey dress and the police can't say anything because they would have no way of knowing if it's them or not
It's in records since the 1800s
But the hill was used for rolling barrels made by the cooper/barrel makers to check their strength for a long time before that
Hence the name Cooper's hill
The whole round cheese is called a Truckle
@@annother3350 no it's a wheel
As Google definitions state
truckle
Or
trŭk′əl
noun
A small wheel or roller; a caster.
A wheel of a pulley; also, a pulley.
Jabol, a truckle or pullie. … Moufle, a truckle for a pullie.
A small wheel or caster.
A small flat cheese.
A truckle-bed.
intransitive very
To be servile or submissive. synonym: fawn.
Could you try proof reading before posting? 😂😂 it’s Gloucester and Gloucestershire by the way
The cheese is the prize who ever can catch it keeps it
"you have to sign a waiver" nope, we got the NHS 🤣
There's loads of weird things like this in the UK. Check out 'Bog Snorkeling'! Yeah, exactly what it sounds like. 😁
As you've probably realised by now KB, we Brits are total fucking nutters!
King your an honorary Brit , you pronounced Gloucestershire spot on . The guys at the bottom catching them are the local rugby team , there is also an ambulance just I case . There's a race for the kids but it's running up the hill . Thank God we have the N.H.S. 🇬🇧
"A log standing up straight" is almost certainly a tree.
It's the local Rugby team that tackle them at the bottom of the hill.
There's loads of mad events in England.
The 👸🦵🏻 in the house! Love the boomer but you’re always a bonus, us brits love our queens 😏🥰
Oh, you have lumberjacks, we have steeplejacks, check Fred dibnah ua-cam.com/video/F04dGK1_wYA/v-deo.html
Some years ago I had seen this on TV in the fun news slot and then by chance a friend of mine moved to nearby where the hill is. By chance we happened walk along the bottom of it and she said - oh BTW this is where they do that cheese rolling. All I can say is that screen does not capture the insanity of the slope and the shortness of run out at the bottom.
This, from Wikipedia about this competition...
From the top of the hill, a 7-9 pounds (3-4 kilograms) round of Double Gloucester cheese is sent rolling down the hill, which is 200 yards long. Competitors then start racing down the hill after the cheese. The first person over the finish line at the bottom of the hill wins the cheese. The competitors aim to catch the cheese; however, it has around a one-second head start and can reach speeds up to 70 miles per hour (110 kilometres per hour), enough to knock over and injure a spectator. Multiple races are held during the day, with separate events for men and women.
0:44 absolutely correct
One of the many wonderfully eccentric, old British traditions ❤️ 🤣
There’s no concussion tent but they do have The St. John’s Ambulance crew there and an Ambulance is on stand by, Many a broken bone 🦴 has been known at this event . 😁
You 2 could enter the wife carrying championships. You should check that out. It's another crazy British contest. 😂
I've seen at least 3 of my friends from years ago in these clips, never thought I'd see that when I started watching your videos.
Great channel and agree with the others who I'm guessing are local to where I live, first time I've ever heard gloucestershire pronounced so perfectly by anyone outside of the uk, even better than some from the UK too.
Another events like this are:
1. The Cotswold Olimpicks, specifically, the shin-kicking competition.
2. The Atherston ball game.
3. The flaming tar barrels of Ottery St. Mary.
4. Ferret-legging.
You see why Rugby is such a gentle game. Bog snorkeling is another example of our strange sports. Saying that Ladies rugby is worth a look.
We have the NHS so a few broken bones is no big deal . 😉 . You need to check out the Atherstone Ball Game . It's absolute mayhem where for a few hours it's legal to assault someone 🤣
Everyone in the pub afterwards where they slake their thirsts ( perhaps not everyone - some are getting their bones reset )
The custom started in pre-Roman times around 1,100bc but without the cheese and was a way for British warriors to show off their virility to local maidens. The cheese is a really recent addition but is the same idea (cheese being milk and full of life, I guess). The cheese is a wheel of 'Double Gloucester', a rich creamy orange coloured cheese perfect on toast!
I definitely agree with the Atherstone ball game suggestion. I’ve seen it on TV which is as close as I’d want to be 😁
They do always have at least one ambulance stationed at the bottom of the hill for this event, because it is quite common for people to break arms or legs doing it. So some people do end up in hospital after the event. But yes, the winner does get to keep the cheese.
My boy pronounced it correctly! He's becoming one of us lol
The cheese rolling is an old tradition in Gloucester and there is written evidence of it to the local town cryer in early 1800s, but the tradition goes back a good 600 years or more and was a pagan tradition to hurl burning brushwood down the hill and the land owner would scatter sweets and biscuits , fruits etc. at the top of the hill, it was to celebrate the end of winter and the start of spring and new harvests. Always held spring bank holiday now. It has also caught the interest of many people from other countries, some of the winners have been from New Zealand, Australia, Nepal, Canada and one winner from USA in 2013 called Kenny Rackers. The winner gets to keep the double Gloucestershire cheese, the cheese weighs about 9lb and is protected with a light weight wooden surround and ribbons, and can reach speeds of 70 mph ( miles per hour) but because some spectators were injured from the cheese hitting them at that speed, in 2013 they replaced the actual cheese with a heavy foam so it wouldn't hurt so much on impact. Also young farmers etc. Voluntarily stand at the finish line to catch people.
The UK has a lot of great customs and traditions that go back decades or even centuries, this cheese rolling competition is one of them
I grew up just down the road in Cheltenham and watched it a number of years. Get to the pub beforehand and go and enjoy the mayhem
They are chasing a double Gloucester cheese down Cooper's hill. This has been going on for a very long time and yes you get to keep the cheese.
Your pronunciation was perfect!! Usually words ending in 'shire' that are specific to the UK (obviously we both speak the same language but you get what I mean) are usually pronounced by Americans sounding phonetically like 'shyer' sounding the same as the 'ire' in 'wire' but it's pronounced like how you lovely lot across the pond would say 'sheer, deer' etc. So top marks! 👍 ...apparently (and I'm not kidding) this competition has been taking place for over two thousand years!! The earliest video footage I've seen of this competition on UA-cam was in either the 1930's or 1940's.... it's so funny (and in some ways bizarre as I along with alot of people associate past eras as being serious, where you wouldn't dream of goofy, silly competitions like this taking place.. especially in England!) And to see them all running down the exact same hill in the exact same way tumbling and rolling over each other but wearing 1930/40's clothing is just brilliant!! The clip I saw was only a few seconds long and it was part of a short UA-cam video (I think if I remember correctly) about the origins of the cheese rolling competition and other general interesting facts about it. I have no idea where the figure of two thousand years comes from. But we know an incredible amount of extremely detailed information about the lives and times of ages much older, with proof showing the most intimate and intricate aspects of daily life thousands of years ago, so it's definitely possible I'd say!
Sending best wishes and love from the UK 🇬🇧 ❤️
That hill is steeeeeeep, lol! They have people from the local Rugby club at the bottom to stop the runners.
Pronunciation of Gloucestershire is spot on. As well as the Atherstone Ball match, you might want to take a look at Ottery St. Mary's Flaming Tar Barrels - yes, as the name suggests, it's people carrying flaming barrels of tar!
check out the royal navy field gun competition, it's brutal, people have lost fingers practicing for it
And manning the mast.
Gloucestershire, perfect pronunciation. I live in Gloucestershire but have never had the nerve to try this. Typically British, absolutely mad. 😊
Men, women and children have races for a wheel of cheese - although the children race uphill instead of down! Just a voluntary St John Ambulance team on standby 🤣🤣 The guy in red only won once - the film showed 'after' before 'before'! The massively overweight would never manage the walk up the hill in the first place. The hill is near vertical and has a steep 50% gradient and is uneven. No one has ever died doing this - and more bystanders have been hurt by bouncing cheeses!!!
First written evidence of cheese rolling in Gloucester was 1826 but it's thought to date back at least 600 hundred years.
1823 is the first written record of it but it may well have been going for longer.
I love the fact that Japanese visitors proudly rock-up to take part :)
I used to go and sit on that hill and eat my lunch. I was surprised how steep it is and what you don't see there, is at the bottom is a load of stinging nettle bushes before you hit someone's garden fence
I did this over 40 years ago, in those days it was really just a local Gloucester area thing now people come from all over.
This year the event is Sunday 5 June.
I have been to the Cheese Rolling as a medic. It was a busy day…
‘People must get really hurt’ is an understatement. People have died.
Some silly Finnish competitions: Wife carrying competition (winner gets wife's weight in beer), mobile phone throwing competition, rubber boot throwing competition, swamp football world championships.
We English love our cheese, that's why we're the cheese capital of the world with over 700 different cheeses and the world's most popular cheese... Cheddar which was first made in the town of Cheddar in 1170 which makes Cheddar Cheese 852 years old!
I think it’s matured long enough now.
Pint of cider,some crackers and a lump of 852yr old cheddar,sat in our field in Cornwall,lovely.
We have something called the Crantock BalePush,where huge round bales of hay are pushed around the Atlantic coast village of Crantock by teams of 6 with only four allowed to push at any one time rotating as they go.
There’s been injuries too as team members get flattened on the hills,but it’s such a laugh.
It’s gone international now with teams from Holland and Germany entering,but it’s a great day out with all the food stalls and drinking,singing etc.
Then it’s street party time at night.
@@TheCornishCockney That sounds pretty amazing, I bet cider has alot to do with the summer festivities. I've seen those bales, they're not small. Sounds like my kind of day, well the cheese, cider and sun anyway, not so much the hard work! What a great comment, thanks for the heads up.
Oh you have a world of mad traditions to watch, bog snorkeling, wife carrying, Atherstone football match, Morris men, hobby horse, Lewes bonfire, brass band marching competitions, welcome to the UK
I wouldn’t have it any other way,would you?
@@TheCornishCockney absolutely not. Its these fine old bonkers traditions that make the rest of the world look at us in wonder and bewilderment!
I've been there, but not when the cheese rolling was on. The place itself is called Cooper's Hill, near the village of Cranham.
I used to live near Gloucester and they've had to cancel that cheese rolling thing because the crowds got to big and there was trouble getting insurance. I'm 99% sure who ever gets to the cheese first keeps it. The cheese must of come to a stop by the time its caught. There are a lot if injuries but its funny watching people fall over especially when it is just for cheese.
YES! Awesome! Brilliant! Thank You!
And you nailed 'Gloucestershire' 1st time!! Not bad at all!
Epic fun and as always great reaction thanks guys!
A+++
"The KEYS... not the Cheese!!!!" - Jim Carey - The Mask
Lol great movie!
This is on the main road between Stroud and Gloucester, I used to drive this to and from school. The Cotswold Hills this is part of are 70 miles long and are similarly steep. In the Second World War, the British capital was to fall back to Gloucester if London was threatened with invasion so the British Army and the Home Guard could make use of hills like this in our last stand.
We have free healthcare and ambulances. But this is not the maddest. Its time. In the Atherstone ball game, 2 villages compete in a bloody battle. You are not allowed to strangle, gouge or kill. People launch themselves off buildings have alliances its pretty brutal. Oh and still played in 2022.
Theres a reason this happens in the UK only. Free healthcare and not suing everyone
The Concussion Protocol Tent in the UK is called the village pub.
You might also check out the Tar Barrels of Ottery St Mary, or head to the top end of Scotland and the Up Helly Aa Viking Fire Festival in the Shetland Islands.
Wow - you got the pronunciation first time! Impressed!
Best pronunciation I' ve ever heard of Gloucestershire..absolutely spot on 👍👍
LOL. Concussion protocol tent ?? It's called "the pub" 😂
Re medical stuff, we've got (a) the St John Ambulance, a charitable organisation that is fully medically qualified to deal with on -the-spot disasters, and (b) the National Health Service to deal with the after effects. So, ner, ner, ner-ner, ner! Seriously, St John are hired by events like this to do the on-the-spot stuff, and if there's anything serious they have priority to get people into hospital.
I know everyone has already said it but your pronunciation of Gloucestershire was 100% perfect! I live in the next county along from here and it’s a bit of a rite of passage to go to this 👍👍
Thanks to this kind of publicity people actually come from all over the world to take part I think it was won by a Canadian one year
The men at the bottom catching people are a local rugby team and they will tackle you hard if you don't give it 100%.
Ever heard of the greasy pole contest in Gloucester Mass U.S.A ? check it out if not my boomz. And pronunciation was sound pal 👌🏻
We also have a greasy pole contest in Whitby during the Regatta in August
3:09 Just for the cheese and a certificate? Yes.
Several years ago, I competed in the Gloucester Cheese Rolling Competition. I will never, ever do it again. Due to the fact that I am a man of little stature, I bounced significantly higher than everyone else. My bruises were more noticeable a few days later as a direct consequence of this fact.
Atherstone ball game next
‘So, why are you in critical care?’ ‘Well, I was chasing this wheel of cheese down a hill…..’
Went to this hill with some mates to run down Cooper's Hill (not on cheese day), and we all chickened out! It's like trying to run down a skate ramp
No-one has caught the cheese, but the first one down wins that cheese. 8Lbs of Double Glouscester, one of the best.
Done it twice mate ....pub at bottom of hill ..get pissed up helps .!!!!
This is the only way we can get cheese in the UK
🤣🤣🤣🤣🇬🇧
