This is not true for computer keyboards which have evolved a lot in every country over the last few decades. While the QWERTY layout hasn't changed in English speaking countries, nearly everything else has changed many, many times. Key differences (pun intended) in keyboard layout, such as the size of the enter and modifier keys and other key placements, have happened since then and weren't standardised until the ISO and ANSI standards were settled in the mid-eighties. Variations prior to that, on both computers and typewriters varied greatly between manufacturers - you only need to look at old computers to see that keyboards clearly differed in keyboard layout throughout the 80s. This is true even between British-made computers - a BBC Micro has a different layout to a Sinclair Spectrum or a Dragon 32 - and these differences in layout were much greater than US vs UK keyboards are today.
Every country has its own keyboard, and why shouldn't they? Many years ago I went into an Internet café in France and had to ask where the full-stop was...
I am French but have been a Flight attendant for an US carrier for 13 years. So I interacted mostly with travelling US citizens, which means less self-centered ones. I could write a book about their lack of interest for others countries, other habits, their general lack of geography knowledge, and this idea they have that they live in the best country of the world and 'do it' the best way, period (I am speaking in general, I know lots of exceptions). Once, during a flight, a mid-age guy was watching through the window as we were reaching Brussels (Belgium...) and he turned to me and said 'The moon in Europe is so different from ours!' Sometimes, US citizens would complain that we don't have enough Mc Donalds in Paris (France...). On a San Francisco/Paris flight, a guy seated in Business asked for my nationality and after I replied, he said 'Oh ! So do you live in Madrid (Spain...)?' As far as eggs, we do have brown eggs and yes, they stay out of the fridge. Our culture doesn't rate consumerism as an art, and coupons aren't a thing. I did travel of course, and will do, but I don't personally know of any friend or family member not having crossed the French boarder at least once (twice for the way back!;)) : they all came back with interesting cultural visits to tell or informations about foods and habits. Most of them visited part of the United States and were thrilled by the adventure : beautiful landscape and cities, nice people, interesting food... Opening yourself to other countries is a great way to enrich your life and open your mind. It's even better if you speak another language or two, if you were taught at school about world geography and history. Arrogance is an art in France, I agree, but I see 'Americans', as they fraudulently call themselves (America is a continent, Canadian, Mexican and Brazilian are Americans too), as ruthless teenagers mocking the members of their family all the time, when they don't have any clue of who those individuals really are and think that nothing but themselves is important and that they know it all. Well, your French cousin here loves you but can't wait for you to realize that not only taking an interest in those family members is a way to show respect, but it is also a great way to be greater.
I live in an English village and we can buy our eggs from houses that have chickens. They put the eggs out to buy ,there’s a honesty box to pay. The eggs come up all sorts of colours. Light blue,white,brown and light brown. Free range eggs are the best.
I’m Canadian. Even in cities you can keep hens in your yard. I do not but have several friends that do and get most of my eggs from them. Eggs abound here, no need to shop at a Walmart. Marketplace is a good source to find someone local for fresh eggs, meat and produce.
Denver now allows 10 chickens and 2 goats on a residential lot. Pretty strange for modern city, but we have a lot of immigrants from Latin America that demand it. @@kvongrad
Yeah every village I’ve lived in does that and it’s lovely. In the village my mum lives in you can also go straight to the farm to buy your milk. Sadly you still can’t buy it raw since it’s illegal, but it’s still nice to buy the milk directly from the farmer.
You can do that in the US too, if you live in a more rural area, and yes, they come in different colors. It doesn’t have to be eggs either, it might be a place (stand) that sells fruits or vegetables, maybe other items as well. Sometimes, they sell them at farmers markets, or people that are farmers that go to the church would sell them to people at church (in my experience, but probably other places also that they might go to), and at my former church, a farmer that went to the church brought eggs for the Sunrise Breakfast on Easter. When I did my last job, for a medical transportation company, I would get my eggs from one of the passengers that had chickens. In supermarkets in the US, they sell both white and brown eggs, but not normally ones in the other colors.
"I didn't know that in the UK supermarkets eggs are not kept in the refrigerator section" says Tyler who 4 videos back (7 days ago) saw eggs are not kept in the supermarket refrigerator section and commented!
@@cheman579 He makes reaction videos so just pretends he's reacting to it for the first time. He's even done it in the same video - commented on a thing then reacted suprised on hearing it again later on.
His twin brother Ryan does the same on his channel... I literally yell at the screen. It does my head in... Maybe neither of them have good recall??? 🤣
@@AlexaFaie yes, watched a reaction video of his on "What was the dumbest thing an American has said to you" - and he tried to present himself as not as dumb as his fellow Americans - but he either is or (as you said) he tries to act suprised as to have content. He absolutely did not get why a girl from AUSTRIA was complaining about questions concerning kangooroos, for example. Here it is funny on a second level as UK citizens are said to be, from the viewpoint of the other Europeans, as insular (well they are, haha) and selfcentered as the US people are.
Eggs are to do with salmonella. We have better conditions at farm level, including vetinary care which means we don't wash the eggs, as we treat salmonella at farm level. In America, standards are different, so you wash the eggs before the store to remove salmonella, but instead have to refrigerate because the eggs protective layer has been removed.
The funny thing is that the US has far more Salmonella cases per capita than the UK and in fact has more deaths per capita from Salmonella than UK survived cases. How many of these are via eggs in particular I can't find but it points to the general low quality of thier poultry and poor animal husbandry.
Close but the USA washes their eggs as they are filthy, covered in chicken poo. The salmonella is already in the eggs and is controlled at farm level and the system keeps the eggs clean. Washing does indeed remove the natural coating.
The unwashed shell protects the interior from the salmonella - that is why we keep it unwashed in Europe. Birds do not infect their unhatched babies with salmonella. The big salmonellla issue is with the meat - where US chickens are washed with clorine rather than use proper food hygeine. If an egg is inedible due to bacteria fresh from the shell I think it would be rotten and easily detected.
They bleach (wash the chicken carcass in chlorine) because they only have battery/caged chickens, no health and hygiene laws, and no FREE RANGE!! not surprising they bleach the eggs too. 🤷🏼♀️
Here in England our local shop sells blue eggs, they are from a special breed of hen and are called Burford Blues. A bit more expensive but lovely. Different breeds of hen lay different colours!
The distance between the US and Thailand and the distance between the UK and Thailand is pretty much the same. The reason you can’t imagine it, is down to the US’s constant subterfuge that the US is best and the world has nothing to offer. People from the UK holiday all over the world, distance is not the issue. We go to places with different cultures to experience those culture. It just so happens that in Europe, which is about the size of the US, each country (imagine that the countries are states) has a different culture, customs, language, which are all different experience for the visitor. The US, travelling from state to state, there’s only marginal difference, the same values, the same culture. If the whole of Europe was the same as the UK, we would go somewhere else, we’re used to the UK, we go on holiday to experience new things, not more of the same. Whereas, in the US, you have been told that the rest of the world is inferior to you, and different is bad. Land of the free? Land of the indoctrinated, in many ways, you’re a naive country, as manipulated as a former Soviet Union and China. It’s about time you grew up.
I think to be honest it's more that in the UK everyone gets at least four weeks paid holiday per year. Often more.. so having the time and money to travel halfway around the world is possible. In the US it's not uncommon to only get a week vacation a year, and for it to be unpaid
Americans always claim their lack of international travel is due to the USA being so large and exciting they don't need to travel. However we have the large and amazingly exciting Australia with it's landscape, it's flora and fauna, it's history, yet Australians are exceptionally well travelled. I think it's because Americans are culturally insular and for them America IS the world. This is slightly illustrated by Americans (either in UA-cam reaction videos or on holiday), looking at buildings in the UK and saying 'this is older than my country'. No it's not. America existed before European settlers but for Americans it didn't exist untilThe Mayflower got there.
In fairness to Americans, they’re using ‘country’ to mean the modern concept of a nation state, not in the sense of inhabited territory. Americans know perfectly well that there were First Nations people there before the vikings settled in North America.
Sorry don't agree. How many holidays does the average Aussie get off work? Yanks barely get any holidays in fact they have the worst workers rights in the entire western world
It also may have something to do with vacation time away from work. Outside of America in Europe our vacation time is roughly a month, which means better travel opportunities and better life, work balances. Plus the working hours are more regulated in favour of the employee, not the employer. Most people work an 8 hour day, 5 days a week here in the UK. There is an option to do overtime, but at the discretion of the employee. Overtime is financially at a higher hourly rate.
In Canada we get a front row seat to the shit show. Some of the stuff that you hear from Americans is absolutely shocking. I wonder if the US government deliberately dumbs down education to make Americans easier to control. Poorly educated people are more gullible and easier to fool.
The reason you wash eggs and then have to refrigerate them is because they come covered in crap. And they come covered in crap because you keep chickens in tiny metal cages where they can't help but shit on their eggs. The minimum animal welfare standards (you might have to Google Animal Welfare) here mean that chickens can be kept intensively in a barn where, at least, they can run around. Almost everybody here buys free range eggs where the chickens are kept out of doors in a paddock. And don't get me started on why you have to wash your chickens in chlorine and we don't.
We do still have some caged hens in the UK, I presume they have some sort of roll away system to stop the eggs getting covered in crap. And the barn kept ones aren't much better off. I've bought ex commercial chickens from both set ups and they come on fine once they get into nicer surroundings. There are a few charities that rescue them from egg farms when they're coming to the end of being commercially useful, the farmers don't usually care either way as long as they get paid the same amount as the meat man would pay them
@@CW1971Yes, I've bought ex battery hens too. It's heartbreaking how they stand on grass and press it with their feet because they've never seen it before. But, a you say, they come on fine after a day or two.
Free range actually means they just have access to the outside, not necessarily that they spend a lot of time there. Organic I believe is when the chickens actually spend most of their time outside.
Clipping out coupons seems like something from the last century. We are much more 'paperless' nowadays in the UK. You might have an electronic club card for discounts, but messing about looking for coupons in your wallet or purse takes too long and it's a pain!
Having worked in a Tesco recently, people definitely still have paper vouchers, and sometimes even stamp booklets which save you a pound per stamp (I've have someone save over £40 with that before). My parents keep any vouchers they have on the fridge. I definitely wouldn't say the UK is as obsessed as the US about them, but they do exist and are commonly used, along with clubcards and electronic vouchers of course.
The colour of the egg is to do with the breed of chicken. Most farms have chickens that lay brown eggs- in varying shades, but some lay white or even blue eggs. Some people do collect coupons - but really its very annoying queueing behind someone cashing in a load of coupons. Mostly our Supermarkets sell goods at reasonable prices👍
UK doesn't have a "couponing culture", but we definitely do have coupons. You'll find them in magazines and newspapers etc, but more so if you have a Tesco clubcard for example, in that case you'll get a whole host of different coupons and discounts.
Coupons are a thing in UK but not nearly as prevalent as it is in US. Some stores will run coupon promotions but you'll never fill your basket with "couponed" products.
How infuriating is it when you're lining up at the checkout and the person in front of you has a million coupons that need to be scanned, sometimes I feel like giving that person a fiver and telling them to get out of my way. Haven't had the bottle to do it yet, but one day...
I think she said people buy a book of coupons. I've certainly never heard of that but I've seen coupons in newspapers or on the packaging of other food products. Probably UK has as many bargains but usually without the bother of messing with coupons.
@@Phiyedoughwhat she meant is they buy booklets FOR coupons, so that they can sort them for easy access by expiration date, store to use in etc… It is almost cultish!
Many British like to tour former colonies, i.e. India, certain African countries, certain Asian countries, Australia, New Zealand etc. possibly in part because they had ancestors reside there in colonial times or are interested in these exotic cultures with a distinct British history….
Here in the UK, when it comes to using phone options, we call what you call "the pound sign" "the hash key," if that helps. 🙂 And yeah, if we see white-shelled eggs in the UK, we'd probably assume they were duck or goose eggs - or at least, some exotic type of egg that's gonna cost us more to buy. Brown eggs are our 'default,' if you like. And honestly, they'll last a good couple of weeks just out on the open, at room temperature, without any ill-effects or decline in quality. And yeah, I think a lot of people don't consider the difference in attitude that can result from living in a VAST country like America compared to a tiny island like the UK. In America, it's completely possible to get on a plane, fly for EIGHT HOURS SOLID, and then, when you land, STILL BE IN AMERICA, with the same stores, language and culture as where you flew from. Whereas in the UK, you can get on a plane and, if you fly more more than only TWO hours in pretty much ANY direction, you'll not only be in a different country, but probably one where the language, culture and stores are entirely different, and you have to make big adjustments to that.
Hash has become the more common term for "#" in the UK, but it did used to be known as "pound sign" here too. Recently I have seen a large uptick in younger people calling it "hashtag" thinking that word means the symbol, not the symbol plus a word when used to denote a social media tag. So within a decade I think that term will be more prevalent than "hash".
In Australia we have white eggs , brown eggs and even blue eggs .Eggs actually have a natural preservative on them which helps naturally to prolong their life . If you wipe that natural preservative off the egg shell during processing then you need to refrigerate eggs .
Wiping the preservative off also reduces their protections against salmonella. Which is why it's such a big deal in the US, but almost unheard of in Europe
Yes, different breeds of hen produce different colours of eggs. The most common colour of eggs in the UK is brown, but there are different shades of brown and I've also seen white, pale blue, dark blue, and dark green. Duck eggs tend to be white or pale blue.
I grew up eating eggs that were covered in poop and still warm! We would get up at 5am and run down to the back paddock to feed the chooks and collect the eggs. Then ate them for brekkie, then walked 5km to school 😂
@@carolleather5992just Google eggs from Aracuana and cream legbar and you will see bluish eggs. And if you cross a blue laying breed with one that lays brown you will get a hen that lays greenish eggs
One interesting thing about our eggs is that you will sometimes find the odd feather inside the box! Also, the boxes are made of a sort of moulded cardboard, rather than the polystyrene boxes that you see in the US that make that awful noise that goes straight through me! On the subject of coupons, I remember that they were more popular when I was a kid in the '80s and '90s - my Mother would cut them out of Womens' magazines, newspapers etc, but then in later years, the paper coupons disappeared. Nowadays, a lot of discounts are found through supermarket loyalty cards; where we do the majority of our shopping, they send electronic coupons to your account in the supermarket app each week, and you select the offers you want to use, and then scan them from your phone screen at the check-out. I think one of the main reasons we no longer have paper vouchers is that it is more environmentally friendly to use other methods, and also the technology makes the actual administration of the discounts much easier for the grocery stores.
My mum would have a wad of coupons to declare at the checkout in the 70's. I think the admin of the clunge just made the marketing strat simpler just to reduce the price to loyal customers in store.
Generally, white hens lay white eggs and brown hens lay brown eggs. Majority of our commercial hens are Warrens or Ross', Bovan Brown and Lohmanns which are all brown. All down to market demand. Chlorine washing eggs in the USA removes the protective cuticle surface which protects the egg from bacteria. Higher hygiene standards in henhouses and farms in the UK takes away the need to chlorine wash and to store them in fridges. Europe does not generally refrigerate eggs.
Refrigerating European eggs is not a god idea unless you then always keep them in the 'fridge. Storing cold eggs at ambient lets them sweat and destroys that coating.
It’s a common misconception that the colour of a bird’s feathers influences the colour of the eggs that they lay. The truth is feather colour has no relation to eggshell colour. The colour of a hen’s ear area is the colour indicator,
The furthest I have travelled is to New Zealand, but i think the main reason British people travel more on holidays is that we get more than just a long weekend as holiday time.
@@TheRealRedAceTotally correct, the South of NZ is the furthest place on the planet from the UK. I actually have a friend that worked on a project to put schools on the exact opposite side of the globe in contact with one another.
@@LowPlainsDrifter60Not really, we don't generally have extreme of weather. It's gets better every year. We haven't had snow for years where I live. We rarely have an excess of rain either.
“I know brown eggs exist” Hahahaha. A white egg is generally seen as odd here but we still have them. I remember a couple of years ago in one of our giant supermarkets,somebody came to a store assistant and said ‘you’ve put a box of eggs in the fridge over there’ The assistant was very puzzled,apologised and said the supermarket DOES NOT store eggs in the fridge,and who would do that she said. It’s as odd to us as leaving eggs out is to you. The food generally in Europe is far more healthy than stateside.
we don't wash our eggs prior to selling them. The US does. Eggs have a natural coating on them. It keeps them from going off. The washing takes the coating off. Therefore, they don't have as long a shelf life as UK eggs
ya...'does brown eggs exist' must be the most wierd coment ever... ...well US have some clorinated things thay call eggs, thay r basicly bacteria incubators... the bacteria resistant layer been washed off...whats the US solution..simple feed the chickens an excessive ammount of Penicillin .. perfect if u want mult resistent bacteria ... all this because US want unnatural bright white eggs, and they also do this in the rest of the food industry... its almost impossible find any healthy food in US... Eggs that r a biohasard Bread that rnt quite bread Candy that r not quite candy Chocolate that r not chocolate Meat that rnt quite meat ...
Back in the 1960's with the move to supermarkets it was found that shoppers thought brown eggs were better and the stores found they could sell them at a bit of a premium when people picked them from a shelf. This was a time when egg production moved almost entirely into battery cages and the brown egg was a screen for this as they looked more " natural". White eggs came mostly from Leghorn hybrids and that type would typically lay 30-40 more eggs per year from a lighter bodied hen than brown egg types. This meant that white eggs were cheaper to produce as the hens involved had better feed conversion rates ( the amount of feed required to produce dozen eggs). Breeders concentrated on improving the genetics of brown egg laying strains and when the Warren Sex-Sal-Link came in ( from France) it was a game changer as it was nearly as efficient as the white egg types. This resulted in an almost universal swing to brown eggs types in large production units.
Here in Canada, I cannot remember the last time we've used coupons! Also I think that for years we've known that some eggs are white, others are brown, and that they are basically the same. We refrigerate eggs here as we import some from the US. I also think too that we travel similar to how people in the UK do. I have known quite a few people who have gone to India and also a few to India, and not to vist family either. We were at a resort in Mexico and I think we only met one American there, it was mostly Canadian, UK or Europe, but that may be unusual! Other places in Mexico have many Americans!
The colour of the egg depends on the breed of hen. A Bluebell Aracuna has lovely pale blue eggs. The Rhode Island Red lays brown eggs as do most UK commercial egg laying breeds.
Thats wrong. The reason americans are white is because of substandard conditions the hens live in. Rather than improve conditions you decide to wash them with chemicals to get rid of bacteria. In the uk we have a higher standards of care for animals so dont need to clean them so much
I use to work on a battery egg farm in the early 70s . Poor chickens never saw day light, the spent all their life in cage with a mesh base. When they died there wasn't room for them to fall over . My son in law keeps ex cage birds in his garden they have room to move and scratch and peck. When he first got them they were scared to come out of the hut. He still gets eggs from them but not as many as they produced in the cages
It’s not that we are closer to places here in the uk, it’s just that it’s culturally normal to go traveling for your holidays. Just from my immediate friends and acquaintances there isn’t many places in the world that I don’t know someone that has been there or is from the region, there are only 195 countries in the world after all so if you like to travel and hangout with others that do too, you don’t need to know many people to get to a large portion of that. Personally I’ve been to 16 countries at the last count.
Coupons used to be a thing in the UK but not now, on the other hand most of the supermarkets have apps that can offer you discounts if you shop with them and they may (depending on the store) give you points - which you can set against the value of the goods. I use Lidl as my main supermarket (which is a budget supermarket) and if you spend so much you get things like 10% off your next shop and each week they offer about 8 coupons on the app that gives you money off on selected items (usually 10 - 15%).
A very interesting video. One of things about Europe is that we are all very interconnected. Our neighbour on one side is Spanish and on the other is Polish. His parents have now retired from working in our health service and have now moved to Spain. We have a daily video call with a French friend who lives in Spain and we are meeting up with him, together with his Italian friends, just before Christmas. At school in the 1970s we had to learn two European languages ( French and German) and we hosted a school students from Denmark. The idea of not going outside of your country would be rather insular and narrow.
In the UK, some shops , like Farm Foods still use coupons, but they're less common than in the past. But most coupon ideas have been transfered to loyalty card systems.
That's interesting bc I'm 67 and as a kid nearly all eggs were white. It was about 50/50 when I left home and started shopping for myself mid-70s. You're mother must've liked the brown ones!
Hey Ty, basically with the eggs, UK eggs aren't washed when they come out of the chicken (which sounds gross but is because chickens are less likely to have salmonella if they are looked after well, and so an unwashed egg with no salmonella likely comes from a higher welfare chicken) and in the US they are because its like washing off the potential salmonella that could have come from poorer living conditions for the chickens. TL;DR: UK chickens have to live good lives to be free of salmonella, US eggs wash off the almost guaranteed salmonella but also wash off the protective membrane, meaning they have to be refrigerated
I think it's just that Americans have higher standards that Brits, forget the lifestyle of the chickens. We're not going to bring a filthy egg into the kitchen and leave it out on the counter for children to handle, or allow a piece of poop-tainted shell fall into the omelett. It's it so shocking that the most advanced country in the world actually washes eggs before handling them?
In the UK, I've never seen an eggshell that looked 'dirty' but even so, they're kept in cupboards in the boxes so children young enough to do that wouldn't get to them, and its just so much more convenient. This way, eggs don't take up any fridge space and last so much longer. If you look into welfare and the USDA, the US really doesn't have better standards, rather some of the worst of the first-world countries. Personally, I'd rather have a system that guarantees the produce is well looked after and of a much higher quality. It's for the same reason that we don't bleach dead chickens after all. @@karlbmiles
In America, chicken carcasses and eggs are washed before selling to the public, an apparently novel concept to the Old World. They are washed with chlorinated water, which you call "bleach". The London water supply is also chlorinated. So if you did wash your poop-tainted egg shells, or wash your mushrooms, lettuce, potatoes, or any other dirt/fertilizer/pesticide covered food product, you too are bleaching your food. @@WijaLE
In the US eggs are washed with chloride that may enter through the pores in the egg shell and damages the membrane under the shell which normally protects the egg's interior parts. Therefor the egg must be stored in the fridge. In the EU this washing is not allowed, hence the eggs can be stored in open air.
Just to correct this, you can buy blue eggs and white eggs. Duck eggs in certain supermarkets. The local farmers sell white and brown eggs. As a child, eating brown eggs was a big thing. We can even buy ostrich eggs from various sources. But we don't wash them. The factory farms have to by law be much kinder. She is living in London, so it's a little harder to find.
We have both brown and white eggs. In addition one of my neighbours has hens which are different types and so some of them lay eggs which are a pale green. They are all extremely tasty but I think this is because she uses exceptionally top quality feeds so the eggs she gives me always taste better than even the best quality supermarket eggs. They are absolutely delicious. And yes, we never keep eggs in the fridge.
There are lots of YT videos covering the different treatment and storage of eggs. I never keep them in the fridge.... I think our equivalent to coupons is store loyalty cards. Where I shop most, certain groceries are cheaper with the loyalty card.
I’ve heard it referred to as a pound symbol for a long time here in the US, and in some automated answering systems, they might ask you to push the pound sign, the button on the phone that has that symbol on it. It’s also a symbol for a sharp in music.
I couldn’t imagine not having a passport. Travel is such a good way to learn. In the last 18 months we have had holidays in Greece 🇬🇷 Tunisia 🇹🇳 Senegal 🇸🇳 and are off to Sri Lanka 🇱🇰 in a few weeks.
I don't currently have a valid passport as mine expired & its been on the list to get a new one for the past 3 years. But wasn't exactly highest priority given 2020, 2020b and 2020c...
You didn't need one to travel before the first World War. You could just hop on a train in London and get off a train in Istanbul or Baghdad with no one demanding ID or visas or any of the rest of it. (Perhaps just a few bribes for local officials)
Brown eggs are common in UK. Bad welfare conditions mean you have to refridgerate your eggs and we also have free range eggs which are more expensive. As opposed to coupons ...we have supermarket loyalty cards which then generate offers just for members. You just sign up for them, in return they get your shopping data, one shop puts your vouchers on line in their app. No couipons needed, Thailand is so common for holidays and we go to Australia and New Zealand because of family.
Tyler. I'm surprised that you've never heard that the eggs in the US are washed and the eggs in the UK are not, considering you've done several videos where this has been discussed. # is known as the Hash key. Pretty important on your phone, well, over here it is because it's used to confirm the options you've just used, for example if you're asked to enter your date of birth for instance, the voice might say, "You entered XX XX XXXX, if that's correct, press the Hash key". I don't know why you would call it "The Pound Key"? I've seen it used in America to replace the word "Number". So, where I might type "I have issue number 1 of The Amazing Tyler Rumple comic book", you might type "I have # 1 of The Fantastic Mr Crossgrove prison journals"
The coupon culture in the USA is popular because people can save a lot of money. The coupons in the USA are usually issued by the manufacturers of the goods and not by the retailer. This leaves the retailer being able to claim the money back from the product straight from the manufacturer. In the UK, coupons are issued by the retailers. and usually have either expiry dates on them or a statement that not to bused in conjunction with any other promotion. This means that we are limited to only use 1 coupon against an item. Coupons which would affect the final sale total would be actioned by the retailer over individual item coupons. This leaves us not able to use the coupon strategies that the Americans have, as we are just not capable of using them.
In America you can buy at most major grocery stores Small--Medium--Large--Extra Large Single Yolk White Eggs and only Large and Extra Large Single Yolk Brown Eggs and by Special Request and If Available Large and Extra Large Double Yolk White or Brown Eggs but then again only when available and your dozen may be 7 white and 5 brown ! American Eggs are Also sold by cartons of 6 or 12 or 18 or 36 or 60 Eggs! Sometimes One Double Yolk Egg is Sold with Single Yolk Cartons mistakenly
The eggshell colour depends on the breed of the hen. Generally speaking, white shell eggs come from hens with white feathers, while brown shell eggs are produced by hens with brown feathers. Nutritionally, both brown and white eggs are identical unless the feed has been enhanced for speciality eggs such as Omega-3.
the look on tylers face when he saw the brown eggs , priceless and funny as feck . By me in mid wales we have sheds at the side of the road , sheds full of fresh laid eggs , and an honesty box , x best eggs ever
UK typewriter keyboards didn't usually include the $ sign, as there was really no need for it. UK computer keyboards, however, do have both a £ and a $, as the former is needed for currency and the latter has specific uses in representing strings in most computer languages. And modern UK computer keyboards also have the € sign, albeit accessed via the [AltGr] key (which US keyboards also lack, I believe) You do get coupons occasionally printed in newspapers and magazines, but they definitely aren't a common thing. Oh, and some supermarket loyalty schemes give you coupons to spend in their store. According to the internet, slightly less than 50% of US citizens have a passport - but between 60% and 70% of Canadians do...in a country even larger than the US, so it isn't just size that causes the disparity. Yes, Thailand is a popular tourist destination...and if you Google 'top sex tourism destinations', you'll find it up there near the top.
"... so it isn't just size that causes the disparity." Exactly! Americans seem to be way less interested in the rest of the world; probably because of the education system helped by a generous sprinkling of propaganda. Even Tyler's reaction showed this, when talking about how large the USA is. Yes, it's big, but compared to the rest of the world, it really isn't (it's only about 6% of the world's surface area).
Australia is the same size as the US and many say there is no reason to leave as we have everything here from rainforests to deserted islands to ski fields and mountains- yet everywhere I’ve traveled in the world (over 22 countries) I constantly run into Aussies everywhere ! If any country has a valid excuse to not travel, it is us. It takes us a day to get anywhere!
@@Dr_KAP australia isn't the same size. america is bigger (2nd/3rd biggest country in the world) and australia also has a hollow desert interior which means that anywhere worth visiting is in a thin zone surrounding the coasts. comparing it to the diversity of american landscapes is wild to me (but, yes, america does not have a tropical rainforest in its contiguous area - australia wins there, and the great barrier reef does blow the hawaiian and floridian reefs out the water). i've visited both countries and can firmly say americans have the better, more valid, excuse not to travel - there is just simply far more there. i'm not biased either because i'm british.
@@francisedward8713 I’ve lived in both and worked in both and wholeheartedly disagree. Given we have everything you’d want here - from the most amazing beaches and deserted island in the world, to the oldest rainforest in the world, the oldest known civilisation on earth, luscious mountains- and it takes 20 plus hours to get to Europe. America on the other hand borders with two countries- so there’s a reason to get a passport right there. You can drive down to another continent too. Can’t do that from Oz. Also guess what ? Australia IS basically the same size as continental USA. I know it’s hard to believe right?? Most people like you are shocked to discover this! Only a fraction smaller! That comparison is between the two main continental land masses of the USA and Australia.
Egg colour is just due to the breed of chicken used. A lot of people do keep them in the fridge in the UK. Coupons are also used in the UK, but not as much as the US. It can be annoying being stuck behind someone when they use them, but it’s normally just one or two, not dozens of them.
My mum's favourite are the Burford Browns - my aunt is vexed she can't get them in USA.. What you call a pound key, we call the hash key.. It depends on the regularity of when you use that key. In US, you obviously use # more regularly than we do. - you can of course change the layout on your computer.. makes life a bit easier. Every language has different layout/key assignment. Tis normal. Coupons - we have loyalty cards, voucher codes for online, even your Bank will give you cashback deals if you activate them for different stores.
I have flown to Italy a number of times for the day. It was a long day to be honest leaving home at 4am and getting home again at 11pm. But I have had to go for meetings in Milan or near Venice as well as the odd Motorcycle show just for the day, like going to a UK bike show just to look at the bikes and new products.
Coupon books and coupons you could cut out of magazines used to be a thing in the UK too but disappeared some time ago. They were replaced by store cards and rewards schemes.
I think the specifics of them were different back then, they were strictly one per customer transaction, and not in combination with other offers, which meant it was impossible to throw down a hundred coupons and walk away paying little or nothing
I live on the south east coast of New England here in the United States. Boston Logan (BOS) Is my local airport. From here, I have traveled to many countries all over the world. Americans should not use the usual two week vacation, three weeks if you’re lucky, as an excuse to limit their travel experiences. Yes, you can go to Western Europe for a week or two, and choose one country to explore in depth. But Europe, especially the west, can be a tad expensive. One of my favorite countries turned out to be Morocco. It’s only 40 miles from Gibraltar and Spain, and is a far more exotic destination than what we are used to. It’s far less expensive than the capitol cities of Western Europe, the people are friendly, and most people in the cities speak English, French, and Moroccan Arabic, of course. They don’t use the Euro. The currency is the Moroccan Dirham. What’s the country like? Think California with ocean to the west, mountains (the Atlas Mountains) down the middle, and desert to the east (the Sahara Desert). It has very nice coastal resorts on the Atlantic, skiing in the High Atlas in winter, and camel treks in the desert. The food is delicious and healthy. While going through the countryside you may see children pointing at olive trees with their staffs. You will look to see goats in the trees eating the olives! If you take photos a small gratuity is expected and appreciated. In the markets and shops you will learn how to bargain. The majority religion is Islam, and you will hear the call to prayer throughout the day from the minarets of the mosques. All religions are accepted in Morocco. Morocco is the last Kingdom left in Africa, and was the first African Nation to recognize the independence of the United States of America. During the Spanish Inquisition the King of Morocco opened the kingdom to all refugees from the Iberian Peninsula. Many Europeans choose Morocco for family holidays, quite a few have retired there. This is just one example of an affordable, exotic vacation. There are many more! Look and you shall find! You have no excuse not to travel to different cultures and fully experience them! I leave you with these words of Mark Twain: “Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime.” - "Innocents Abroad," 1869 “Be a traveler, not a tourist!” ~ Edward Shields, my junior year in high school 1972, Rome, Italy 🇮🇹
Hi Tyler. Loved your reaction when she said UK eggs are not refrigerated. I admit i used to always refrigerate my eggs till i read that there was no need. So went out and bought a lovely egg storage container and boy the difference in the taste😊

On a swedish keyboard you have the £ on the Alt gr 3 and the $ sign on Alt gr 4, so we have both of them on our regular keyboard and in addition to that we also have Å Ä and Ö. And we also have brown eggs. Sometimes in the same carton as white ones. And they are never refrigerated, since we don't wash of the natural protection of the eggs. That is forbidden in most of europe. We had some cupons when I grew up (in the 70s) but nowadays there is very rare to see one, except in the brand pamflets, that most people have a note on the mailbox say that they don't want them. Then they are NOT ALLOWED to to put them in your mail box.
Hi i’m from Australia and our eggs are brown as well. The colour of the egg depends on the colour of the chicken. USA uses white hens and Australians use brown hems. Our eggs are either in the fridge or out. I keep my eggs in the fridge due to the weather being so hot here. And USA do wash there eggs where UK and Australia don’t wash there eggs. With coupons, Australia don’t have them either. We get a catalogue once a week with the weekly specials. Us Aussies love to holiday in Thailand as well.
@@SuperCraigjackthey actually wash them in detergent. Which strips off the protective layer of the egg shell. Which is why in the US they have to be kept in the fridge.
The eggshell colour depends on the breed of the hen. Generally speaking, white shell eggs come from hens with white feathers, while brown shell eggs are produced by hens with brown feathers, but this is not exclusive. Nutritionally, both brown and white eggs are identical.
As a kid in the UK, my bus ticket would always have a Burger King or McDonalds voucher on the back, but I never see that now. Growing up in the 90s and 00s, everyone's parents and grandparents used to collect vouchers from supermarkets to give to schools for computers and sports equipment (I don't actually know if these did much). We do have loyalty schemes/ cards, with which you may get a choice of vouchers; e.g., Tesco Clubcard vouchers may be used for a meal at a restaurant. Of course, certain memberships like Campaign for Real Ale can get you vouchers you can use in a few pub chains.
As a Brit, whenever I see a white chicken egg, it looks like a weird fake bleached egg... I know it's just a normal egg from a different breed of chicken but it just feels weird.
Ah! You're obviously a youngster. Forty or fifty years ago it was very unusual to see a brown egg (in towns and cities at least) as most of the large commercial growers used white chicken breeds (white chicken, white egg and brown chicken, brown egg.) However, free-range producers tended to have a variety of breeds and in a box of eggs you might find a mixture of white, brown or even blue eggs. As free-range brown eggs were seen as healthier than the battery-bred white eggs the large producers started breeding brown chickens so that people would think that the eggs they were buying were the same as the free-range eggs.
@@huntergray3985 not 'seen as' so much as 'demonstrably are healthier'. Different eggs will also have different flavours and sizes and so on of course - not that I can personally tell the difference but I'm sure plenty of expert cooks can and maybe even the odd chef.
American like a clean white egg. Just knowing that other countries handle an egg with their bare hands that has come right out of chicken and lays in a nest is weird. It's one step away from the wet markets you see in Asia, Africa, and South America.
@@karlbmiles this is like me not wanting to eat insects despite knowing they're actually great for you. Except that I'm fully aware I'd rather not get a dose of salmonella that will take hold because of how lethal it is, and how awful it is even if it doesn't kill you. Our eggs are cleaner than yours, that's the point of the whole thing. Our meat is cleaner too by the way, as your own documentaries have, well, documented. :D You're being squeamish, and I totally get that but it's not rational. Plus you clearly missed the point about the colour of chicken eggs. Ask any chicken farmer in America, or birder and they'll point out that every bird has different colours of eggshell from the next, including different breeds of chicken. It's like dogs and guinea pigs having different fur, or people having different eye colours. It does not affect how healthy an egg is to eat. Although, the way America farms eggs does, in point of fact, affect how they taste. It makes them worse which was one reason more and more ethical egg farming has been popular in Europe and elsewhere. The eggs taste better, are safer to eat and even better than all that, are better for you in terms of nutritional value. Much like properly farmed fields produce more nutrient rich vegetables.
18:00 When examining travel preferences among British holidaymakers, it’s important to note that long-haul destinations like Thailand are not typically part of the average travel itinerary. For most Brits, short-haul trips within Europe are the norm, as they offer convenient access to a variety of cultures, landscapes, and activities. Popular choices include UK seaside resorts like Bournemouth, where families can find static holiday homes and trailer parks, providing an affordable way to enjoy coastal vacations. Many British travelers also flock to Mediterranean destinations such as Spain, Greece, Turkey, and Cyprus for their warm weather and stunning beaches, making these spots ideal for a quick getaway. In contrast, long-haul travels, such as those to Thailand, are generally less common among the British working class. While Thailand does attract some adventurous travelers, including young backpackers, it’s more often seen as an option for those with specific interests or for unique experiences rather than a typical holiday choice. When it comes to family vacations, many Brits prefer accessible locations, like Disneyland Paris in France, which is particularly popular among families. The South of France attracts more affluent travelers, whereas ski resorts in Switzerland, Andorra, and the Alps cater to a wealthier clientele seeking winter sports. Eastern Europe continues to be a favored choice for groups celebrating bachelor or stag parties, thanks to its vibrant nightlife and affordable accommodations. At the same time, the Nordic countries like Sweden and Norway offer a distinct and culturally enriching experience. Moreover, the Netherlands is well-known for its liberal attitudes, including legalized cannabis, which draws a mix of tourists curious about its unique vibe. Other European countries, such as Germany and Belgium, also present exciting opportunities for cultural exploration, culinary experiences, and urban adventures. Overall, while long-haul travel exists within the British holiday experience, short-haul trips remain the primary choice for many, offering a convenient blend of relaxation and exploration right on their doorstep in Europe.
If you did a poll of UK people, most would have a relative or friend who lives in one of the Commonwealth countries like Australia, New Zealand, Canada etc.or has a friend living to another European country. I think that is much rarer in the US, (Except for the armed forces of course)
I read a study that indicates storing eggs in the fridge actually increases the risk of foodborn illness due to condensation that builds on the shell. I'm not entirely sure how true it is, but it's something to read up about
Mate you should come to England it's so different to the states your fascinated by this video in real life it will blow your mind it could also make for some really cool content heck you could even take a day trip to France while your over here also check out the Isle of Wight it's really cool you could take the Wight Link from or hovercraft from Portsmouth or you could take a Red Funnel from Southampton (both city's are worth a visit if your interested in history particularly the historic dock yard in Portsmouth.
We actually do have coupons, in fact I get a booklet of coupons from Supermarkets posted through our door (postman brings it) with money off, 3 for the price of 2 etc.. We also have "price promise" and that is if you can prove to a store that you can purchase the exact same item cheaper elsewhere, that store will give you it at the lower price. I'm sure it's not as big a thing here in the UK as it is in the US but people do use coupons. Enjoyed this!
It's not that we're closer to Asia, I think it's more that we're willing to travel further and have more time to do so. Last time I went to Indonesia, it was a 13 hour flight to Singapore, and then another 5 hour flight to Manado on Sulawesi where I was staying, but, I was going for a fortnight so it was worth it. If I was only going for a week, I'd probably stick closer to home - North Africa (Egypt, Morocco, etc).
Oh Tyler it's very simple- brown chickens lay brown eggs and white chickens lay white eggs (melanin content) We have both brown and white depending on the colour hens. They are usually brown but sometimes white and they taste the bloody same!!! lol
I'm in the UK and I didn't know eggs were primarily white in the US. They may not be near the bread but they're never in the frozen food section. At home, we store them in the fridge but not everybody does. We do have coupons, but not so common as in the US, and we see much less than we used to. I don't think Thailand is quite as popular as suggested in the video. Western Europe is most popular but lot of people take their VACATION (we call it a holiday) within the UK.
Perhaps not with people you know but so many of my mates and people I’ve spoken to have been there, I’d say her description is about right from my point of view👍
@@AbCd-lw5vs Yes, most eggs are white in the US. But they do sell brown eggs (often in Wholefood type stores) and charge a LOT more for the colour difference. They sell them as if they are more 'organic' and better - playing with the gullible customers DOH!???
Swede here, about coupons: We kind of have them, but like the UK we don’t have deals dealt in paper tickets. The stores have deals like is described in the vid but we can also become a “member” of a store and through that gain additional deals which will either be tied to your bank card or to a membership card.
The 'Return' is also shaped differently with the UK version larger. I used to be a computer engineer at Heathrow Airport when we were installing the CUTE system Common Use instead of each airline having their own systems and all of the keyboards were US layout didn't really cause much of a problem as we both use QWERTY design but I had to go to Paris to help to install a system in an office complex and UK layout keyboard's had been supplied which caused a massive problem as the French use AZERTY layout, what a nightmare!!!! 🇬🇧
The coupons isnt true some of supermarket mags do have coupons in them. Also their are places online and digital coupons, but its nit as big in the U.S.
I'm British. I do remember seeing coupons, when I was younger. They would print off with the recipt when my mum was paying fir the groceries, and she'd look at it, mutter something along the lines of "I don't even like red bull" and toss it in the bin on the way out of the store. What i see mote often is stuff like nectar points or tesco clubcard points. I think they caught on, instead of coupons, because they weren't specific to one product. You just save them up, and, hey, suddenly your knocking 30 quid off your latest shop at tesco.
I would say the most common country for vacations is Spain. If someone is going on holiday it's probably to Spain but the most visited city in the world is Bangkok (Thailand's capital).
As someone that has worked as a Store Manager for multiple stores in the UK coupons may not be as big of a thing but they do exist, This is going back several years now but I used to take in maybe a dozen or so coupons a day.
If Americans think it weird that eggs are brown and are not kept in the fridge, they will completely lose it when they find that it's not uncommon to find eggs in boxes that have sh*t and feathers stuck to them!
i wonder if any of them even know what a truly fresh egg look like or is i grew up on an Aussie farm and had eggs fresh everyday the way the US is with their food makes me think they know nothing about fresh food let alone where it really comes from or how it should look before its tampered with by what ever is added to it
The difference between white, and brown eggs is the color. That's it! Although quite a few people believe that brown eggs are healthier because they are more "natural", which just a matter of what we are used to. In Norway we can have white, and brown eggs mixed in the same carton.
Regarding travel destinations - it's true that a lot of different countries are closer to us than to the US, plus the US is so very large there is a lot to see without going abroad. And of course most people regularly take 10-14 days vacation because we have that time off work guaranteed, so it's more worthwhile to travel long distances. But also- I think it's mindset. Once it is normalised to 'go abroad' for most people, it is an easy jump to travel long haul - Australia i 24 hours flight from the UK, but lots of people here have been there.
Actually if you compare the real land mass,Europe is actually bigger than the US! Europe has also more population than the US! I guess when they say that the US is so big is just a bad exuse for them beacause they will not tell the truth about the lack of workers rights to both paid time of work and fair paid jobs! Also a little bit of brainwashing that the US is the best country in the world!
The UK commenters are so high on their horses. I enjoy watching him learn about the world. If I had to pick a buddy, Id pick an American person over a UK person. I'm Canadian.
What I love about living in Scotland is I live in one of the most beautiful countries in europe but I do travel a lot to other European countries, its amazing seeing how different each European cultures really are. I love Tenerife (spanish island of the cost of africa) I went stargazing up mount teide and it was one of the best experiences of my life.
“Pound sign” is called “hash” in English, hence where hashtag comes from - tagging with a hash symbol 😄 Also, I saw white eggs in a shop last week and was like “these look like cartoon eggs” 😂
To me those look like ordinary eggs. I'm from Germany and pretty much grew up with the 'classic' white egg. Though later brown eggs became more widespread mainly because people associated brown eggs with 'bio' (ie organic) farms and thought these were somehow more healthy than the white ones.
A few years ago we used to have a lot of BOGOF deals in the supermarkets (Buy One Get One Free), but it was felt that it encouraged people to buy a lot more stuff than they actually needed it and led to a lot of waste, so they don't do it so much now.
Here in the UK, we used to have white eggs, but occasionally there would be a brown egg in the box. It all depends on what the hen had eaten before laying the egg. In short, the people buying the eggs found the brown ones more appealing, so farmers started intentionally feeding their chickens the food that makes them lay brown eggs. Now, it's rare to find a white egg here, in fact I had never seen one in real life until last week, when the cafe I work at accidentally bought a whole box of them. Additionally, on my keyboard, the £ sign is on the 3, the $ and the € are both on the 4, you have to press shift for $ and alt gr for €. The @ is on the ' and the " is on the 2. There's only one chain in the UK that I know of that sends out coupons, and that's Farmfoods, where you take the coupon, and you get £5 off when you spend £50 or whatever. In terms of travel, I've been to several beautiful places in the UK, including Wales and the Peak District, I've also been to Madrid and Tenerife, both of which were incredible but I thought they were too warm. I've never been outside Europe. My brother has been to Thailand multiple times, he loves it there.
Coupons exist here. You get leaflets through the door, or if you have a loyalty card or are on a mailing list, you'll get them. Just people don't get obsessed by them. On holidays - I know people who've been to Thailand on holiday - also (off the top of my head) China, South Africa, Egypt, Morocco, the Philippines, Malaysia, Hong Kong, Russia, Australia, New Zealand, Brazil...
The USA has a rover (launching helicopter drones) on Mars; the UK doesn't. The USA has Disney parks; the UK doesn't. The USA has 100+ of the Global 500 companies; the UK doesn't. The USA has Tyler ... oh, damn!
What difference does this make to people's everyday lives? All that wealth power in the States and yet they can't provide their citizens with basic human rights. Something the USA FAILS AT MISERABLY. The UK has castles - the USA doesn't. The UK has pubs - the USA doesn't. So what? It's meaningless when you can't provide your citizens basic life metrics. The USA has healthcare as a privilege - the UK doesn't. The USA doesn't have workers rights - the UK does. The USA has lax food standards - the UK doesn't. Putting machines in space or building naff theme parks isn't a great achievement.
1. There are so many different keyboard settings due to localization. Here in Germany we use The QWERTZ setup intead of QWERTY: Z and Y are switched. Our currency sign Euro (€) is located on the E and many punctuation signs are on other positions. 2. Eggs are in Germany in both colors. It depends on the race/breed. In Europe eggs aren't in the fridge in store becauce of the laws. In the US eggs have to be washed, in Europe they must not be washed. Washing destroys the natural protection layer from the egg shell. Bring them home and put them in the fridge there. Therefore sometimes feathers and/or shit remains on the eggs in the store.
Ultimately, the differences in keyboard layouts are a result of a combination of linguistic needs, historical context, and user preferences across different regions.
Different chickens produce different coloured eggs (yes I spelt coloured with a u). While most eggs are either white or brown, lots of birds produce other colours and they also come in cream, pink, blue and green. An American has learnt something new today.
Back in the day, years ago, we had coupons, restricting our choice of specific items. Now we have loyalty points which can be used with each shop, whatever you purchase. They can also be traded for three times their value so you can use them for days out, restaurants etc.
I think the colour of egg shells depends on the breed of the poultry. Also, a former TV cook here, Delia Smith, authored a cookery book with a picture of a bowl of brown eggs on the front. She was told to change it to white eggs for the US consumer or they wouldn't buy it. Apologies if I'm mistaken about Delia's book..
Germany has brown and white shelled 🥚 🥚 too and we usually don't freeze them either. Granted, the refrigator at home, is kinda a thing because "Where else to put them?" But in the store it's hardly (been) (if ever) done before.
I have a Swedish keyboard and have a Dollar sign on the number 4 key, a Pound sign on the number 3 key and a Euro sign on the E key. In a addition to that I have 3 extra keys for the Swedish å, ä and ö letters. Eggs does not really need refrigeration, however they will last longer in the fridge. The colour of the eggs depends on the breed of the hens.
as i'm sure someone below has already pointed out, most supermarkets have some sort of points/rewards card so that you build up points as you purchase to get rewards at a later date
Our local supermarket we get mainly brown, occasionally white (these change colour if you add edible dye to the water when you boil them) and blue. The insides are exactly the same, a yolk, which ranges in depth of yellow, and the clear which turns white on cooking.
We have pure white eggs in a few supermarkets, which come from a specific breed of bird, most are brown, some breeds produce very dark brown speckled eggs and blue eggs are common too. I do refrigerate mine for extra life, but will take them out a few hours before use to return to room temperature. We used to have coupons years ago, but that has mostly been replaced by individual supermarkets offering a loyalty card through which they will give discounts on certain products in their stores or extra points - which add up to a monetary discount off the total of your shop.
Eggs are kept refrigerated in the US because of the cleaning with detergents before boxing which removes the protective coating of the eggs, thus rendering them more vulnerable to microbial penetration. Fresh eggs are not 'pasteurised' in the UK or in the EU, nor do they undergo vigorous cleaning.
your comment @18:10 is one of the reasons we go on some vacations. "I've heard of the place but have no idea what's there" - be the explorer and find out, that's part of the fun
Once you add the ‘£’ to the keyboard, it forces the ‘$’ to move and that then cascades to move ‘@‘ and quotes (and $ is still needed as a special symbol in many programming languages, and things like Excel formulas)
Sam Hecht, a British inventor, invented the key board. The US. Changed it to suit what they needed, the British have never changed their keyboard
I was saying that to myself, thanks.
This is not true for computer keyboards which have evolved a lot in every country over the last few decades. While the QWERTY layout hasn't changed in English speaking countries, nearly everything else has changed many, many times. Key differences (pun intended) in keyboard layout, such as the size of the enter and modifier keys and other key placements, have happened since then and weren't standardised until the ISO and ANSI standards were settled in the mid-eighties. Variations prior to that, on both computers and typewriters varied greatly between manufacturers - you only need to look at old computers to see that keyboards clearly differed in keyboard layout throughout the 80s. This is true even between British-made computers - a BBC Micro has a different layout to a Sinclair Spectrum or a Dragon 32 - and these differences in layout were much greater than US vs UK keyboards are today.
Every country has its own keyboard, and why shouldn't they? Many years ago I went into an Internet café in France and had to ask where the full-stop was...

I am French but have been a Flight attendant for an US carrier for 13 years. So I interacted mostly with travelling US citizens, which means less self-centered ones. I could write a book about their lack of interest for others countries, other habits, their general lack of geography knowledge, and this idea they have that they live in the best country of the world and 'do it' the best way, period (I am speaking in general, I know lots of exceptions). Once, during a flight, a mid-age guy was watching through the window as we were reaching Brussels (Belgium...) and he turned to me and said 'The moon in Europe is so different from ours!' Sometimes, US citizens would complain that we don't have enough Mc Donalds in Paris (France...). On a San Francisco/Paris flight, a guy seated in Business asked for my nationality and after I replied, he said 'Oh ! So do you live in Madrid (Spain...)?' As far as eggs, we do have brown eggs and yes, they stay out of the fridge. Our culture doesn't rate consumerism as an art, and coupons aren't a thing. I did travel of course, and will do, but I don't personally know of any friend or family member not having crossed the French boarder at least once (twice for the way back!;)) : they all came back with interesting cultural visits to tell or informations about foods and habits. Most of them visited part of the United States and were thrilled by the adventure : beautiful landscape and cities, nice people, interesting food... Opening yourself to other countries is a great way to enrich your life and open your mind. It's even better if you speak another language or two, if you were taught at school about world geography and history. Arrogance is an art in France, I agree, but I see 'Americans', as they fraudulently call themselves (America is a continent, Canadian, Mexican and Brazilian are Americans too), as ruthless teenagers mocking the members of their family all the time, when they don't have any clue of who those individuals really are and think that nothing but themselves is important and that they know it all. Well, your French cousin here loves you but can't wait for you to realize that not only taking an interest in those family members is a way to show respect, but it is also a great way to be greater.

I live in an English village and we can buy our eggs from houses that have chickens. They put the eggs out to buy ,there’s a honesty box to pay. The eggs come up all sorts of colours. Light blue,white,brown and light brown. Free range eggs are the best.
I’m Canadian. Even in cities you can keep hens in your yard. I do not but have several friends that do and get most of my eggs from them. Eggs abound here, no need to shop at a Walmart. Marketplace is a good source to find someone local for fresh eggs, meat and produce.
Denver now allows 10 chickens and 2 goats on a residential lot. Pretty strange for modern city, but we have a lot of immigrants from Latin America that demand it. @@kvongrad
Yeah every village I’ve lived in does that and it’s lovely. In the village my mum lives in you can also go straight to the farm to buy your milk. Sadly you still can’t buy it raw since it’s illegal, but it’s still nice to buy the milk directly from the farmer.
You can do that in the US too, if you live in a more rural area, and yes, they come in different colors. It doesn’t have to be eggs either, it might be a place (stand) that sells fruits or vegetables, maybe other items as well. Sometimes, they sell them at farmers markets, or people that are farmers that go to the church would sell them to people at church (in my experience, but probably other places also that they might go to), and at my former church, a farmer that went to the church brought eggs for the Sunrise Breakfast on Easter. When I did my last job, for a medical transportation company, I would get my eggs from one of the passengers that had chickens. In supermarkets in the US, they sell both white and brown eggs, but not normally ones in the other colors.
"I didn't know that in the UK supermarkets eggs are not kept in the refrigerator section" says Tyler who 4 videos back (7 days ago) saw eggs are not kept in the supermarket refrigerator section and commented!

Eggs are to do with salmonella. We have better conditions at farm level, including vetinary care which means we don't wash the eggs, as we treat salmonella at farm level. In America, standards are different, so you wash the eggs before the store to remove salmonella, but instead have to refrigerate because the eggs protective layer has been removed.
The funny thing is that the US has far more Salmonella cases per capita than the UK and in fact has more deaths per capita from Salmonella than UK survived cases. How many of these are via eggs in particular I can't find but it points to the general low quality of thier poultry and poor animal husbandry.
Close but the USA washes their eggs as they are filthy, covered in chicken poo. The salmonella is already in the eggs and is controlled at farm level and the system keeps the eggs clean. Washing does indeed remove the natural coating.
The unwashed shell protects the interior from the salmonella - that is why we keep it unwashed in Europe. Birds do not infect their unhatched babies with salmonella. The big salmonellla issue is with the meat - where US chickens are washed with clorine rather than use proper food hygeine.
If an egg is inedible due to bacteria fresh from the shell I think it would be rotten and easily detected.
They bleach (wash the chicken carcass in chlorine) because they only have battery/caged chickens, no health and hygiene laws, and no FREE RANGE!!
not surprising they bleach the eggs too. 🤷🏼♀️
Here in England our local shop sells blue eggs, they are from a special breed of hen and are called Burford Blues. A bit more expensive but lovely. Different breeds of hen lay different colours!
The distance between the US and Thailand and the distance between the UK and Thailand is pretty much the same. The reason you can’t imagine it, is down to the US’s constant subterfuge that the US is best and the world has nothing to offer. People from the UK holiday all over the world, distance is not the issue. We go to places with different cultures to experience those culture. It just so happens that in Europe, which is about the size of the US, each country (imagine that the countries are states) has a different culture, customs, language, which are all different experience for the visitor. The US, travelling from state to state, there’s only marginal difference, the same values, the same culture. If the whole of Europe was the same as the UK, we would go somewhere else, we’re used to the UK, we go on holiday to experience new things, not more of the same. Whereas, in the US, you have been told that the rest of the world is inferior to you, and different is bad. Land of the free? Land of the indoctrinated, in many ways, you’re a naive country, as manipulated as a former Soviet Union and China. It’s about time you grew up.
Tis naught but prejudice and stereotyping you practice. Desist and discontinue the practice forthwith or I shall have you keel hauled. 😡
I think to be honest it's more that in the UK everyone gets at least four weeks paid holiday per year. Often more.. so having the time and money to travel halfway around the world is possible.
In the US it's not uncommon to only get a week vacation a year, and for it to be unpaid

Very much so

Ouch.
Harsh………but fair.
Americans always claim their lack of international travel is due to the USA being so large and exciting they don't need to travel. However we have the large and amazingly exciting Australia with it's landscape, it's flora and fauna, it's history, yet Australians are exceptionally well travelled. I think it's because Americans are culturally insular and for them America IS the world. This is slightly illustrated by Americans (either in UA-cam reaction videos or on holiday), looking at buildings in the UK and saying 'this is older than my country'. No it's not. America existed before European settlers but for Americans it didn't exist untilThe Mayflower got there.
The US is only 240 years old.
In fairness to Americans, they’re using ‘country’ to mean the modern concept of a nation state, not in the sense of inhabited territory. Americans know perfectly well that there were First Nations people there before the vikings settled in North America.
Culturally insular hits the nail on the head.
Sorry don't agree. How many holidays does the average Aussie get off work?
Yanks barely get any holidays in fact they have the worst workers rights in the entire western world
It also may have something to do with vacation time away from work. Outside of America in Europe our vacation time is roughly a month, which means better travel opportunities and better life, work balances. Plus the working hours are more regulated in favour of the employee, not the employer. Most people work an 8 hour day, 5 days a week here in the UK. There is an option to do overtime, but at the discretion of the employee. Overtime is financially at a higher hourly rate.
It’s shocking how little Americans know it’s sad
I'm not.
Most seem to be completely unaware of the world they live in.
In Canada we get a front row seat to the shit show. Some of the stuff that you hear from Americans is absolutely shocking. I wonder if the US government deliberately dumbs down education to make Americans easier to control. Poorly educated people are more gullible and easier to fool.
The are arrogant and obnoxious but thick AF. It's one of the reasons that the rest of the world respects Brits but loathes Yanks
Yes
He might have had a recent hard blow to the head?
The reason you wash eggs and then have to refrigerate them is because they come covered in crap. And they come covered in crap because you keep chickens in tiny metal cages where they can't help but shit on their eggs. The minimum animal welfare standards (you might have to Google Animal Welfare) here mean that chickens can be kept intensively in a barn where, at least, they can run around. Almost everybody here buys free range eggs where the chickens are kept out of doors in a paddock. And don't get me started on why you have to wash your chickens in chlorine and we don't.
We do still have some caged hens in the UK, I presume they have some sort of roll away system to stop the eggs getting covered in crap. And the barn kept ones aren't much better off. I've bought ex commercial chickens from both set ups and they come on fine once they get into nicer surroundings. There are a few charities that rescue them from egg farms when they're coming to the end of being commercially useful, the farmers don't usually care either way as long as they get paid the same amount as the meat man would pay them
@@CW1971Yes, I've bought ex battery hens too. It's heartbreaking how they stand on grass and press it with their feet because they've never seen it before. But, a you say, they come on fine after a day or two.
@@XiOjala aw cool! They are great pets. Mine are all mostly retired now, I've only got 11 at the moment and get 1 egg a day if I'm lucky 😂
Also free range chickens run a great risk of being killed by predators in the u.s.
Free range actually means they just have access to the outside, not necessarily that they spend a lot of time there. Organic I believe is when the chickens actually spend most of their time outside.
Clipping out coupons seems like something from the last century. We are much more 'paperless' nowadays in the UK. You might have an electronic club card for discounts, but messing about looking for coupons in your wallet or purse takes too long and it's a pain!
And having to buy puplicatiions, How much do for they cost you?
Having worked in a Tesco recently, people definitely still have paper vouchers, and sometimes even stamp booklets which save you a pound per stamp (I've have someone save over £40 with that before). My parents keep any vouchers they have on the fridge. I definitely wouldn't say the UK is as obsessed as the US about them, but they do exist and are commonly used, along with clubcards and electronic vouchers of course.
Most often people look for discounts in store
"We both speak English", but you din`t know what a pound sign was. 1 minute in and you were already confused 😊
That wasn't what got me. It was "we both use the same grammar" I laughed
We call that a hashtag. Its official name is the "octothorpe"
Good,
this is a hashtag for us #
The colour of the egg is to do with the breed of chicken. Most farms have chickens that lay brown eggs- in varying shades, but some lay white or even blue eggs. Some people do collect coupons - but really its very annoying queueing behind someone cashing in a load of coupons. Mostly our Supermarkets sell goods at reasonable prices👍
UK doesn't have a "couponing culture", but we definitely do have coupons. You'll find them in magazines and newspapers etc, but more so if you have a Tesco clubcard for example, in that case you'll get a whole host of different coupons and discounts.
Tyler! This is at least the third time you've heard that Brit shops don't store eggs in the fridge. You cannot still be that surprised about it.
I suspect that everything he 'learns' goes in one ear and straight out the other!
If he stopped talking and speculating so much and simply paid attention then commented afterwards, he'd probably retain more.
Coupons are a thing in UK but not nearly as prevalent as it is in US. Some stores will run coupon promotions but you'll never fill your basket with "couponed" products.
How infuriating is it when you're lining up at the checkout and the person in front of you has a million coupons that need to be scanned, sometimes I feel like giving that person a fiver and telling them to get out of my way. Haven't had the bottle to do it yet, but one day...
We have coupons, but they are mostly electronic - Nectar card, Tesco clubcard, Boots advantage card (including Scan2recycle and extra vouchers).
I think she said people buy a book of coupons. I've certainly never heard of that but I've seen coupons in newspapers or on the packaging of other food products. Probably UK has as many bargains but usually without the bother of messing with coupons.
@@Phiyedoughwhat she meant is they buy booklets FOR coupons, so that they can sort them for easy access by expiration date, store to use in etc… It is almost cultish!
Many British like to tour former colonies, i.e. India, certain African countries, certain Asian countries, Australia, New Zealand etc. possibly in part because they had ancestors reside there in colonial times or are interested in these exotic cultures with a distinct British history….
Here in the UK, when it comes to using phone options, we call what you call "the pound sign" "the hash key," if that helps. 🙂
And yeah, if we see white-shelled eggs in the UK, we'd probably assume they were duck or goose eggs - or at least, some exotic type of egg that's gonna cost us more to buy. Brown eggs are our 'default,' if you like. And honestly, they'll last a good couple of weeks just out on the open, at room temperature, without any ill-effects or decline in quality.
And yeah, I think a lot of people don't consider the difference in attitude that can result from living in a VAST country like America compared to a tiny island like the UK. In America, it's completely possible to get on a plane, fly for EIGHT HOURS SOLID, and then, when you land, STILL BE IN AMERICA, with the same stores, language and culture as where you flew from. Whereas in the UK, you can get on a plane and, if you fly more more than only TWO hours in pretty much ANY direction, you'll not only be in a different country, but probably one where the language, culture and stores are entirely different, and you have to make big adjustments to that.
Hash has become the more common term for "#" in the UK, but it did used to be known as "pound sign" here too. Recently I have seen a large uptick in younger people calling it "hashtag" thinking that word means the symbol, not the symbol plus a word when used to denote a social media tag. So within a decade I think that term will be more prevalent than "hash".
In Australia we have white eggs , brown eggs and even blue eggs .Eggs actually have a natural preservative on them which helps naturally to prolong their life . If you wipe that natural preservative off the egg shell during processing then you need to refrigerate eggs .
Wiping the preservative off also reduces their protections against salmonella. Which is why it's such a big deal in the US, but almost unheard of in Europe
Yes, different breeds of hen produce different colours of eggs. The most common colour of eggs in the UK is brown, but there are different shades of brown and I've also seen white, pale blue, dark blue, and dark green. Duck eggs tend to be white or pale blue.
I grew up eating eggs that were covered in poop and still warm! We would get up at 5am and run down to the back paddock to feed the chooks and collect the eggs. Then ate them for brekkie, then walked 5km to school 😂
Blue eggs mate 😮 I want to see them
@@carolleather5992just Google eggs from Aracuana and cream legbar and you will see bluish eggs.
And if you cross a blue laying breed with one that lays brown you will get a hen that lays greenish eggs
One interesting thing about our eggs is that you will sometimes find the odd feather inside the box! Also, the boxes are made of a sort of moulded cardboard, rather than the polystyrene boxes that you see in the US that make that awful noise that goes straight through me! On the subject of coupons, I remember that they were more popular when I was a kid in the '80s and '90s - my Mother would cut them out of Womens' magazines, newspapers etc, but then in later years, the paper coupons disappeared. Nowadays, a lot of discounts are found through supermarket loyalty cards; where we do the majority of our shopping, they send electronic coupons to your account in the supermarket app each week, and you select the offers you want to use, and then scan them from your phone screen at the check-out. I think one of the main reasons we no longer have paper vouchers is that it is more environmentally friendly to use other methods, and also the technology makes the actual administration of the discounts much easier for the grocery stores.
My mum would have a wad of coupons to declare at the checkout in the 70's. I think the admin of the clunge just made the marketing strat simpler just to reduce the price to loyal customers in store.
That's why they got rid of the polystyrene cartons here too, to save poor ol mammy earth.
Generally, white hens lay white eggs and brown hens lay brown eggs. Majority of our commercial hens are Warrens or Ross', Bovan Brown and Lohmanns which are all brown. All down to market demand.
Chlorine washing eggs in the USA removes the protective cuticle surface which protects the egg from bacteria. Higher hygiene standards in henhouses and farms in the UK takes away the need to chlorine wash and to store them in fridges. Europe does not generally refrigerate eggs.
Refrigerating European eggs is not a god idea unless you then always keep them in the 'fridge. Storing cold eggs at ambient lets them sweat and destroys that coating.
It’s a common misconception that the colour of a bird’s feathers influences the colour of the eggs that they lay. The truth is feather colour has no relation to eggshell colour. The colour of a hen’s ear area is the colour indicator,
The science says refrigerating eggs makes them go off quicker. The eggs on the counter top lasted about a week longer 😊❤
They bloody love chlorine in America dont they
The furthest I have travelled is to New Zealand, but i think the main reason British people travel more on holidays is that we get more than just a long weekend as holiday time.
Lol, to travel much further than NZ, you'd need a spaceship! Good point about the holidays.
@@TheRealRedAceTotally correct, the South of NZ is the furthest place on the planet from the UK. I actually have a friend that worked on a project to put schools on the exact opposite side of the globe in contact with one another.
The Brits also travel further afield because they're trying to escape the British weather.
@@LowPlainsDrifter60this, lol
@@LowPlainsDrifter60Not really, we don't generally have extreme of weather. It's gets better every year. We haven't had snow for years where I live. We rarely have an excess of rain either.
“I know brown eggs exist”
Hahahaha.
A white egg is generally seen as odd here but we still have them.
I remember a couple of years ago in one of our giant supermarkets,somebody came to a store assistant and said ‘you’ve put a box of eggs in the fridge over there’
The assistant was very puzzled,apologised and said the supermarket DOES NOT store eggs in the fridge,and who would do that she said.
It’s as odd to us as leaving eggs out is to you.
The food generally in Europe is far more healthy than stateside.
we don't wash our eggs prior to selling them. The US does. Eggs have a natural coating on them. It keeps them from going off. The
washing takes the coating off. Therefore, they don't have as long a shelf life as UK eggs
I never could see keeping chickens other than meat birds. I AM CANADIAN
ya...'does brown eggs exist' must be the most wierd coment ever...
...well US have some clorinated things thay call eggs, thay r basicly bacteria incubators... the bacteria resistant layer been washed off...whats the US solution..simple feed the chickens an excessive ammount of Penicillin .. perfect if u want mult resistent bacteria ... all this because US want unnatural bright white eggs, and they also do this in the rest of the food industry... its almost impossible find any healthy food in US...

i love how his head lost it with "brown eggs" that has made my day.
@@mrj9585 We have brown eggs in American grocery stores. He doesn't do much grocery shopping. He's a man and a bachelor.
Back in the 1960's with the move to supermarkets it was found that shoppers thought brown eggs were better and the stores found they could sell them at a bit of a premium when people picked them from a shelf. This was a time when egg production moved almost entirely into battery cages and the brown egg was a screen for this as they looked more " natural".
White eggs came mostly from Leghorn hybrids and that type would typically lay 30-40 more eggs per year from a lighter bodied hen than brown egg types. This meant that white eggs were cheaper to produce as the hens involved had better feed conversion rates ( the amount of feed required to produce dozen eggs). Breeders concentrated on improving the genetics of brown egg laying strains and when the Warren Sex-Sal-Link came in ( from France) it was a game changer as it was nearly as efficient as the white egg types. This resulted in an almost universal swing to brown eggs types in large production units.
Third time I've seen Tyler be surprised about eggs.
🥚🥚🥚
Here in Canada, I cannot remember the last time we've used coupons! Also I think that for years we've known that some eggs are white, others are brown, and that they are basically the same. We refrigerate eggs here as we import some from the US.
I also think too that we travel similar to how people in the UK do. I have known quite a few people who have gone to India and also a few to India, and not to vist family either. We were at a resort in Mexico and I think we only met one American there, it was mostly Canadian, UK or Europe, but that may be unusual! Other places in Mexico have many Americans!
The colour of the egg depends on the breed of hen. A Bluebell Aracuna has lovely pale blue eggs. The Rhode Island Red lays brown eggs as do most UK commercial egg laying breeds.
Thats wrong. The reason americans are white is because of substandard conditions the hens live in. Rather than improve conditions you decide to wash them with chemicals to get rid of bacteria. In the uk we have a higher standards of care for animals so dont need to clean them so much
I use to work on a battery egg farm in the early 70s . Poor chickens never saw day light, the spent all their life in cage with a mesh base. When they died there wasn't room for them to fall over . My son in law keeps ex cage birds in his garden they have room to move and scratch and peck. When he first got them they were scared to come out of the hut. He still gets eggs from them but not as many as they produced in the cages
We are not doing keyboards differently we invented the computer.... We are doing it the correct way
It’s not that we are closer to places here in the uk, it’s just that it’s culturally normal to go traveling for your holidays.
Just from my immediate friends and acquaintances there isn’t many places in the world that I don’t know someone that has been there or is from the region, there are only 195 countries in the world after all so if you like to travel and hangout with others that do too, you don’t need to know many people to get to a large portion of that.
Personally I’ve been to 16 countries at the last count.
Coupons used to be a thing in the UK but not now, on the other hand most of the supermarkets have apps that can offer you discounts if you shop with them and they may (depending on the store) give you points - which you can set against the value of the goods. I use Lidl as my main supermarket (which is a budget supermarket) and if you spend so much you get things like 10% off your next shop and each week they offer about 8 coupons on the app that gives you money off on selected items (usually 10 - 15%).
A very interesting video. One of things about Europe is that we are all very interconnected. Our neighbour on one side is Spanish and on the other is Polish. His parents have now retired from working in our health service and have now moved to Spain. We have a daily video call with a French friend who lives in Spain and we are meeting up with him, together with his Italian friends, just before Christmas. At school in the 1970s we had to learn two European languages ( French and German) and we hosted a school students from Denmark. The idea of not going outside of your country would be rather insular and narrow.
In the UK, some shops , like Farm Foods still use coupons, but they're less common than in the past. But most coupon ideas have been transfered to loyalty card systems.
I am 56 and have always had brown eggs. I was really shocked the other day to see white eggs in the egg box at the supermarket.
That's interesting bc I'm 67 and as a kid nearly all eggs were white. It was about 50/50 when I left home and started shopping for myself mid-70s. You're mother must've liked the brown ones!
Hey Ty, basically with the eggs, UK eggs aren't washed when they come out of the chicken (which sounds gross but is because chickens are less likely to have salmonella if they are looked after well, and so an unwashed egg with no salmonella likely comes from a higher welfare chicken) and in the US they are because its like washing off the potential salmonella that could have come from poorer living conditions for the chickens.
TL;DR: UK chickens have to live good lives to be free of salmonella, US eggs wash off the almost guaranteed salmonella but also wash off the protective membrane, meaning they have to be refrigerated
I think it's just that Americans have higher standards that Brits, forget the lifestyle of the chickens. We're not going to bring a filthy egg into the kitchen and leave it out on the counter for children to handle, or allow a piece of poop-tainted shell fall into the omelett. It's it so shocking that the most advanced country in the world actually washes eggs before handling them?
In the UK, I've never seen an eggshell that looked 'dirty' but even so, they're kept in cupboards in the boxes so children young enough to do that wouldn't get to them, and its just so much more convenient. This way, eggs don't take up any fridge space and last so much longer. If you look into welfare and the USDA, the US really doesn't have better standards, rather some of the worst of the first-world countries. Personally, I'd rather have a system that guarantees the produce is well looked after and of a much higher quality. It's for the same reason that we don't bleach dead chickens after all. @@karlbmiles
In America, chicken carcasses and eggs are washed before selling to the public, an apparently novel concept to the Old World. They are washed with chlorinated water, which you call "bleach". The London water supply is also chlorinated. So if you did wash your poop-tainted egg shells, or wash your mushrooms, lettuce, potatoes, or any other dirt/fertilizer/pesticide covered food product, you too are bleaching your food. @@WijaLE
We do have coupons in the UK ..... they often come as 'junk mail' delivered in the post on brochures for various shops
And usually thrown straight in the recycle bin.
In the US eggs are washed with chloride that may enter through the pores in the egg shell and damages the membrane under the shell which normally protects the egg's interior parts. Therefor the egg must be stored in the fridge. In the EU this washing is not allowed, hence the eggs can be stored in open air.
Just to correct this, you can buy blue eggs and white eggs. Duck eggs in certain supermarkets. The local farmers sell white and brown eggs. As a child, eating brown eggs was a big thing. We can even buy ostrich eggs from various sources. But we don't wash them. The factory farms have to by law be much kinder. She is living in London, so it's a little harder to find.
Also quail eggs, small but nice
Love Ducks and eggs, straight from the duck
And not only with different colours but also with spots 😂
@@berrytyrant I like the ones that have stripes best. A very distinctive taste 😋
Coupons with money off then you get hit with sales tax.
We have both brown and white eggs. In addition one of my neighbours has hens which are different types and so some of them lay eggs which are a pale green. They are all extremely tasty but I think this is because she uses exceptionally top quality feeds so the eggs she gives me always taste better than even the best quality supermarket eggs. They are absolutely delicious. And yes, we never keep eggs in the fridge.
There are lots of YT videos covering the different treatment and storage of eggs. I never keep them in the fridge.... I think our equivalent to coupons is store loyalty cards. Where I shop most, certain groceries are cheaper with the loyalty card.
Tyler doesn't ever need to own a passport, as travelling beyond the boundaries of the US, would be too stressful for him.......
I wonder why you call it a pound symbol, but you have hashtags not poundtags. Hint, its a hash symbol.
I’ve heard it referred to as a pound symbol for a long time here in the US, and in some automated answering systems, they might ask you to push the pound sign, the button on the phone that has that symbol on it. It’s also a symbol for a sharp in music.
I couldn’t imagine not having a passport. Travel is such a good way to learn. In the last 18 months we have had holidays in Greece 🇬🇷 Tunisia 🇹🇳 Senegal 🇸🇳 and are off to Sri Lanka 🇱🇰 in a few weeks.
I don't currently have a valid passport as mine expired & its been on the list to get a new one for the past 3 years. But wasn't exactly highest priority given 2020, 2020b and 2020c...
You didn't need one to travel before the first World War. You could just hop on a train in London and get off a train in Istanbul or Baghdad with no one demanding ID or visas or any of the rest of it. (Perhaps just a few bribes for local officials)
Brown eggs are common in UK. Bad welfare conditions mean you have to refridgerate your eggs and we also have free range eggs which are more expensive. As opposed to coupons ...we have supermarket loyalty cards which then generate offers just for members. You just sign up for them, in return they get your shopping data, one shop puts your vouchers on line in their app. No couipons needed, Thailand is so common for holidays and we go to Australia and New Zealand because of family.
GET YOUR ANIMAL WELFARE AUTHORITIES TO SHUT DOWN ALL YOUR HEINOUS CHICKEN FARMS.
Tyler. I'm surprised that you've never heard that the eggs in the US are washed and the eggs in the UK are not, considering you've done several videos where this has been discussed.
# is known as the Hash key. Pretty important on your phone, well, over here it is because it's used to confirm the options you've just used, for example if you're asked to enter your date of birth for instance, the voice might say, "You entered XX XX XXXX, if that's correct, press the Hash key". I don't know why you would call it "The Pound Key"? I've seen it used in America to replace the word "Number". So, where I might type "I have issue number 1 of The Amazing Tyler Rumple comic book", you might type "I have # 1 of The Fantastic Mr Crossgrove prison journals"
The coupon culture in the USA is popular because people can save a lot of money. The coupons in the USA are usually issued by the manufacturers of the goods and not by the retailer. This leaves the retailer being able to claim the money back from the product straight from the manufacturer.
In the UK, coupons are issued by the retailers. and usually have either expiry dates on them or a statement that not to bused in conjunction with any other promotion. This means that we are limited to only use 1 coupon against an item. Coupons which would affect the final sale total would be actioned by the retailer over individual item coupons. This leaves us not able to use the coupon strategies that the Americans have, as we are just not capable of using them.
In America you can buy at most major grocery stores Small--Medium--Large--Extra Large Single Yolk White Eggs and only Large and Extra Large Single Yolk Brown Eggs and by Special Request and If Available Large and Extra Large Double Yolk White or Brown Eggs but then again only when available and your dozen may be 7 white and 5 brown ! American Eggs are Also sold by cartons of 6 or 12 or 18 or 36 or 60 Eggs! Sometimes One Double Yolk Egg is Sold with Single Yolk Cartons mistakenly
The eggshell colour depends on the breed of the hen. Generally speaking, white shell eggs come from hens with white feathers, while brown shell eggs are produced by hens with brown feathers. Nutritionally, both brown and white eggs are identical unless the feed has been enhanced for speciality eggs such as Omega-3.
the look on tylers face when he saw the brown eggs , priceless and funny as feck . By me in mid wales we have sheds at the side of the road , sheds full of fresh laid eggs , and an honesty box , x best eggs ever
UK typewriter keyboards didn't usually include the $ sign, as there was really no need for it. UK computer keyboards, however, do have both a £ and a $, as the former is needed for currency and the latter has specific uses in representing strings in most computer languages. And modern UK computer keyboards also have the € sign, albeit accessed via the [AltGr] key (which US keyboards also lack, I believe)
You do get coupons occasionally printed in newspapers and magazines, but they definitely aren't a common thing. Oh, and some supermarket loyalty schemes give you coupons to spend in their store.
According to the internet, slightly less than 50% of US citizens have a passport - but between 60% and 70% of Canadians do...in a country even larger than the US, so it isn't just size that causes the disparity.
Yes, Thailand is a popular tourist destination...and if you Google 'top sex tourism destinations', you'll find it up there near the top.
AltGr equivalent to Fn key on laptops and compact keyboards?
"... so it isn't just size that causes the disparity." Exactly! Americans seem to be way less interested in the rest of the world; probably because of the education system helped by a generous sprinkling of propaganda. Even Tyler's reaction showed this, when talking about how large the USA is. Yes, it's big, but compared to the rest of the world, it really isn't (it's only about 6% of the world's surface area).
Australia is the same size as the US and many say there is no reason to leave as we have everything here from rainforests to deserted islands to ski fields and mountains- yet everywhere I’ve traveled in the world (over 22 countries) I constantly run into Aussies everywhere ! If any country has a valid excuse to not travel, it is us. It takes us a day to get anywhere!
@@Dr_KAP australia isn't the same size. america is bigger (2nd/3rd biggest country in the world) and australia also has a hollow desert interior which means that anywhere worth visiting is in a thin zone surrounding the coasts. comparing it to the diversity of american landscapes is wild to me (but, yes, america does not have a tropical rainforest in its contiguous area - australia wins there, and the great barrier reef does blow the hawaiian and floridian reefs out the water). i've visited both countries and can firmly say americans have the better, more valid, excuse not to travel - there is just simply far more there. i'm not biased either because i'm british.
@@francisedward8713 I’ve lived in both and worked in both and wholeheartedly disagree. Given we have everything you’d want here - from the most amazing beaches and deserted island in the world, to the oldest rainforest in the world, the oldest known civilisation on earth, luscious mountains- and it takes 20 plus hours to get to Europe. America on the other hand borders with two countries- so there’s a reason to get a passport right there. You can drive down to another continent too. Can’t do that from Oz. Also guess what ? Australia IS basically the same size as continental USA. I know it’s hard to believe right?? Most people like you are shocked to discover this! Only a fraction smaller! That comparison is between the two main continental land masses of the USA and Australia.
Egg colour is just due to the breed of chicken used. A lot of people do keep them in the fridge in the UK. Coupons are also used in the UK, but not as much as the US. It can be annoying being stuck behind someone when they use them, but it’s normally just one or two, not dozens of them.
My mum's favourite are the Burford Browns - my aunt is vexed she can't get them in USA.. What you call a pound key, we call the hash key.. It depends on the regularity of when you use that key. In US, you obviously use # more regularly than we do. - you can of course change the layout on your computer.. makes life a bit easier. Every language has different layout/key assignment. Tis normal.
Coupons - we have loyalty cards, voucher codes for online, even your Bank will give you cashback deals if you activate them for different stores.
I have flown to Italy a number of times for the day. It was a long day to be honest leaving home at 4am and getting home again at 11pm. But I have had to go for meetings in Milan or near Venice as well as the odd Motorcycle show just for the day, like going to a UK bike show just to look at the bikes and new products.
Coupon books and coupons you could cut out of magazines used to be a thing in the UK too but disappeared some time ago. They were replaced by store cards and rewards schemes.
I think the specifics of them were different back then, they were strictly one per customer transaction, and not in combination with other offers, which meant it was impossible to throw down a hundred coupons and walk away paying little or nothing
You still get coupons with some loyalty cards. Any one remember green shields stamps and how popular they were in the 60's and 70's?!
I live on the south east coast of New England here in the United States. Boston Logan (BOS) Is my local airport. From here, I have traveled to many countries all over the world.
Americans should not use the usual two week vacation, three weeks if you’re lucky, as an excuse to limit their travel experiences. Yes, you can go to Western Europe for a week or two, and choose one country to explore in depth. But Europe, especially the west, can be a tad expensive.
One of my favorite countries turned out to be Morocco. It’s only 40 miles from Gibraltar and Spain, and is a far more exotic destination than what we are used to. It’s far less expensive than the capitol cities of Western Europe, the people are friendly, and most people in the cities speak English, French, and Moroccan Arabic, of course. They don’t use the Euro. The currency is the Moroccan Dirham. What’s the country like? Think California with ocean to the west, mountains (the Atlas Mountains) down the middle, and desert to the east (the Sahara Desert). It has very nice coastal resorts on the Atlantic, skiing in the High Atlas in winter, and camel treks in the desert. The food is delicious and healthy. While going through the countryside you may see children pointing at olive trees with their staffs. You will look to see goats in the trees eating the olives! If you take photos a small gratuity is expected and appreciated. In the markets and shops you will learn how to bargain. The majority religion is Islam, and you will hear the call to prayer throughout the day from the minarets of the mosques. All religions are accepted in Morocco. Morocco is the last Kingdom left in Africa, and was the first African Nation to recognize the independence of the United States of America. During the Spanish Inquisition the King of Morocco opened the kingdom to all refugees from the Iberian Peninsula. Many Europeans choose Morocco for family holidays, quite a few have retired there.
This is just one example of an affordable, exotic vacation. There are many more! Look and you shall find!
You have no excuse not to travel to different cultures and fully experience them!
I leave you with these words of Mark Twain:
“Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime.” - "Innocents Abroad," 1869

Hi Tyler. Loved your reaction when she said UK eggs are not refrigerated. I admit i used to always refrigerate my eggs till i read that there was no need. So went out and bought a lovely egg storage container and boy the difference in the taste😊
Don't bother telling him this as Tyler never reads or even acknowledges his comments
@@DebraElias-uc6yzI’m curious as to why you bother to follow his videos when you only ever have negative things to say about them, specifically his reaction, or non-reaction, to the comments?
@@DebraElias-uc6yz
He has started to respond to his comments but he doesn't say much, just s brief acknowledgement but that's a start. Maybe he'll start conversing later as he learns more of what's expected of him !!
On a swedish keyboard you have the £ on the Alt gr 3 and the $ sign on Alt gr 4, so we have both of them on our regular keyboard and in addition to that we also have Å Ä and Ö.
And we also have brown eggs. Sometimes in the same carton as white ones. And they are never refrigerated, since we don't wash of the natural protection of the eggs. That is forbidden in most of europe. We had some cupons when I grew up (in the 70s) but nowadays there is very rare to see one, except in the brand pamflets, that most people have a note on the mailbox say that they don't want them. Then they are NOT ALLOWED to to put them in your mail box.
Hi i’m from Australia and our eggs are brown as well. The colour of the egg depends on the colour of the chicken. USA uses white hens and Australians use brown hems. Our eggs are either in the fridge or out. I keep my eggs in the fridge due to the weather being so hot here. And USA do wash there eggs where UK and Australia don’t wash there eggs. With coupons, Australia don’t have them either. We get a catalogue once a week with the weekly specials. Us Aussies love to holiday in Thailand as well.
I have a theory that they bleach their eggs to get them that brilliant white colour
@@SuperCraigjackit's exactly that 👍🏻
@@SuperCraigjackthey actually wash them in detergent. Which strips off the protective layer of the egg shell. Which is why in the US they have to be kept in the fridge.
Colour of your chickens is irrelevant, my chickens are white but they lay brown eggs
The eggshell colour depends on the breed of the hen. Generally speaking, white shell eggs come from hens with white feathers, while brown shell eggs are produced by hens with brown feathers, but this is not exclusive. Nutritionally, both brown and white eggs are identical.
As a kid in the UK, my bus ticket would always have a Burger King or McDonalds voucher on the back, but I never see that now. Growing up in the 90s and 00s, everyone's parents and grandparents used to collect vouchers from supermarkets to give to schools for computers and sports equipment (I don't actually know if these did much). We do have loyalty schemes/ cards, with which you may get a choice of vouchers; e.g., Tesco Clubcard vouchers may be used for a meal at a restaurant. Of course, certain memberships like Campaign for Real Ale can get you vouchers you can use in a few pub chains.
yes the bus ticket vouchers!! i completely forgot about those, i used them all the time as a kid
As a Brit, whenever I see a white chicken egg, it looks like a weird fake bleached egg... I know it's just a normal egg from a different breed of chicken but it just feels weird.
Eggs in america are probably white because they have been washed with chemicals hence why they need stored in a fridge
Ah! You're obviously a youngster. Forty or fifty years ago it was very unusual to see a brown egg (in towns and cities at least) as most of the large commercial growers used white chicken breeds (white chicken, white egg and brown chicken, brown egg.) However, free-range producers tended to have a variety of breeds and in a box of eggs you might find a mixture of white, brown or even blue eggs. As free-range brown eggs were seen as healthier than the battery-bred white eggs the large producers started breeding brown chickens so that people would think that the eggs they were buying were the same as the free-range eggs.
@@huntergray3985 not 'seen as' so much as 'demonstrably are healthier'. Different eggs will also have different flavours and sizes and so on of course - not that I can personally tell the difference but I'm sure plenty of expert cooks can and maybe even the odd chef.
American like a clean white egg. Just knowing that other countries handle an egg with their bare hands that has come right out of chicken and lays in a nest is weird. It's one step away from the wet markets you see in Asia, Africa, and South America.
@@karlbmiles this is like me not wanting to eat insects despite knowing they're actually great for you. Except that I'm fully aware I'd rather not get a dose of salmonella that will take hold because of how lethal it is, and how awful it is even if it doesn't kill you. Our eggs are cleaner than yours, that's the point of the whole thing. Our meat is cleaner too by the way, as your own documentaries have, well, documented. :D
You're being squeamish, and I totally get that but it's not rational.
Plus you clearly missed the point about the colour of chicken eggs. Ask any chicken farmer in America, or birder and they'll point out that every bird has different colours of eggshell from the next, including different breeds of chicken. It's like dogs and guinea pigs having different fur, or people having different eye colours. It does not affect how healthy an egg is to eat.
Although, the way America farms eggs does, in point of fact, affect how they taste. It makes them worse which was one reason more and more ethical egg farming has been popular in Europe and elsewhere. The eggs taste better, are safer to eat and even better than all that, are better for you in terms of nutritional value. Much like properly farmed fields produce more nutrient rich vegetables.
18:00 When examining travel preferences among British holidaymakers, it’s important to note that long-haul destinations like Thailand are not typically part of the average travel itinerary. For most Brits, short-haul trips within Europe are the norm, as they offer convenient access to a variety of cultures, landscapes, and activities.
Popular choices include UK seaside resorts like Bournemouth, where families can find static holiday homes and trailer parks, providing an affordable way to enjoy coastal vacations. Many British travelers also flock to Mediterranean destinations such as Spain, Greece, Turkey, and Cyprus for their warm weather and stunning beaches, making these spots ideal for a quick getaway.
In contrast, long-haul travels, such as those to Thailand, are generally less common among the British working class. While Thailand does attract some adventurous travelers, including young backpackers, it’s more often seen as an option for those with specific interests or for unique experiences rather than a typical holiday choice.
When it comes to family vacations, many Brits prefer accessible locations, like Disneyland Paris in France, which is particularly popular among families. The South of France attracts more affluent travelers, whereas ski resorts in Switzerland, Andorra, and the Alps cater to a wealthier clientele seeking winter sports.
Eastern Europe continues to be a favored choice for groups celebrating bachelor or stag parties, thanks to its vibrant nightlife and affordable accommodations. At the same time, the Nordic countries like Sweden and Norway offer a distinct and culturally enriching experience.
Moreover, the Netherlands is well-known for its liberal attitudes, including legalized cannabis, which draws a mix of tourists curious about its unique vibe. Other European countries, such as Germany and Belgium, also present exciting opportunities for cultural exploration, culinary experiences, and urban adventures.
Overall, while long-haul travel exists within the British holiday experience, short-haul trips remain the primary choice for many, offering a convenient blend of relaxation and exploration right on their doorstep in Europe.
If you did a poll of UK people, most would have a relative or friend who lives in one of the Commonwealth countries like Australia, New Zealand, Canada etc.or has a friend living to another European country. I think that is much rarer in the US, (Except for the armed forces of course)
I read a study that indicates storing eggs in the fridge actually increases the risk of foodborn illness due to condensation that builds on the shell. I'm not entirely sure how true it is, but it's something to read up about
Mate you should come to England it's so different to the states your fascinated by this video in real life it will blow your mind it could also make for some really cool content heck you could even take a day trip to France while your over here also check out the Isle of Wight it's really cool you could take the Wight Link from or hovercraft from Portsmouth or you could take a Red Funnel from Southampton (both city's are worth a visit if your interested in history particularly the historic dock yard in Portsmouth.
We actually do have coupons, in fact I get a booklet of coupons from Supermarkets posted through our door (postman brings it) with money off, 3 for the price of 2 etc.. We also have "price promise" and that is if you can prove to a store that you can purchase the exact same item cheaper elsewhere, that store will give you it at the lower price. I'm sure it's not as big a thing here in the UK as it is in the US but people do use coupons. Enjoyed this!
It's not that we're closer to Asia, I think it's more that we're willing to travel further and have more time to do so. Last time I went to Indonesia, it was a 13 hour flight to Singapore, and then another 5 hour flight to Manado on Sulawesi where I was staying, but, I was going for a fortnight so it was worth it. If I was only going for a week, I'd probably stick closer to home - North Africa (Egypt, Morocco, etc).
Oh Tyler it's very simple- brown chickens lay brown eggs and white chickens lay white eggs (melanin content) We have both brown and white depending on the colour hens. They are usually brown but sometimes white and they taste the bloody same!!! lol
I'm in the UK and I didn't know eggs were primarily white in the US. They may not be near the bread but they're never in the frozen food section. At home, we store them in the fridge but not everybody does.
We do have coupons, but not so common as in the US, and we see much less than we used to.
I don't think Thailand is quite as popular as suggested in the video. Western Europe is most popular but lot of people take their VACATION (we call it a holiday) within the UK.
Perhaps not with people you know but so many of my mates and people I’ve spoken to have been there, I’d say her description is about right from my point of view👍
@@AbCd-lw5vs
Yes, most eggs are white in the US. But they do sell brown eggs (often in Wholefood type stores) and charge a LOT more for the colour difference. They sell them as if they are more 'organic' and better - playing with the gullible customers DOH!???
Swede here, about coupons:
We kind of have them, but like the UK we don’t have deals dealt in paper tickets. The stores have deals like is described in the vid but we can also become a “member” of a store and through that gain additional deals which will either be tied to your bank card or to a membership card.
The 'Return' is also shaped differently with the UK version larger. I used to be a computer engineer at Heathrow Airport when we were installing the CUTE system Common Use instead of each airline having their own systems and all of the keyboards were US layout didn't really cause much of a problem as we both use QWERTY design but I had to go to Paris to help to install a system in an office complex and UK layout keyboard's had been supplied which caused a massive problem as the French use AZERTY layout, what a nightmare!!!! 🇬🇧
The coupons isnt true some of supermarket mags do have coupons in them. Also their are places online and digital coupons, but its nit as big in the U.S.
I'm British. I do remember seeing coupons, when I was younger. They would print off with the recipt when my mum was paying fir the groceries, and she'd look at it, mutter something along the lines of "I don't even like red bull" and toss it in the bin on the way out of the store.
What i see mote often is stuff like nectar points or tesco clubcard points. I think they caught on, instead of coupons, because they weren't specific to one product. You just save them up, and, hey, suddenly your knocking 30 quid off your latest shop at tesco.
I would say the most common country for vacations is Spain. If someone is going on holiday it's probably to Spain but the most visited city in the world is Bangkok (Thailand's capital).
As someone that has worked as a Store Manager for multiple stores in the UK coupons may not be as big of a thing but they do exist, This is going back several years now but I used to take in maybe a dozen or so coupons a day.
If Americans think it weird that eggs are brown and are not kept in the fridge, they will completely lose it when they find that it's not uncommon to find eggs in boxes that have sh*t and feathers stuck to them!
Exactly
i wonder if any of them even know what a truly fresh egg look like or is i grew up on an Aussie farm and had eggs fresh everyday the way the US is with their food makes me think they know nothing about fresh food let alone where it really comes from or how it should look before its tampered with by what ever is added to it
I consider it a lucky sign if I find a feather in my box of eggs. 😊
Don't tell them about the blue or green eggs.
@@hypsyzygy506 Indeed, I love my Old Cotswold Legbar blue eggs. 💙
The difference between white, and brown eggs is the color. That's it! Although quite a few people believe that brown eggs are healthier because they are more "natural", which just a matter of what we are used to. In Norway we can have white, and brown eggs mixed in the same carton.
Regarding travel destinations - it's true that a lot of different countries are closer to us than to the US, plus the US is so very large there is a lot to see without going abroad. And of course most people regularly take 10-14 days vacation because we have that time off work guaranteed, so it's more worthwhile to travel long distances. But also- I think it's mindset. Once it is normalised to 'go abroad' for most people, it is an easy jump to travel long haul - Australia i 24 hours flight from the UK, but lots of people here have been there.
Actually if you compare the real land mass,Europe is actually bigger than the US!
Europe has also more population than the US!
I guess when they say that the US is so big is just a bad exuse for them beacause they will not tell the truth about the lack of workers rights to both paid time of work and fair paid jobs!
Also a little bit of brainwashing that the US is the best country in the world!
The UK commenters are so high on their horses. I enjoy watching him learn about the world. If I had to pick a buddy, Id pick an American person over a UK person. I'm Canadian.
This is at least the fourth video with the eggs, you goldfish.
I love the way that you get all excited about the differences. Keep it up, Tyler.
What I love about living in Scotland is I live in one of the most beautiful countries in europe but I do travel a lot to other European countries, its amazing seeing how different each European cultures really are. I love Tenerife (spanish island of the cost of africa) I went stargazing up mount teide and it was one of the best experiences of my life.
Also in our house and I'm sure many others, eggs are kept in our bread shelf in cupboard.
“Pound sign” is called “hash” in English, hence where hashtag comes from - tagging with a hash symbol 😄
Also, I saw white eggs in a shop last week and was like “these look like cartoon eggs” 😂
To me those look like ordinary eggs. I'm from Germany and pretty much grew up with the 'classic' white egg. Though later brown eggs became more widespread mainly because people associated brown eggs with 'bio' (ie organic) farms and thought these were somehow more healthy than the white ones.
A few years ago we used to have a lot of BOGOF deals in the supermarkets (Buy One Get One Free), but it was felt that it encouraged people to buy a lot more stuff than they actually needed it and led to a lot of waste, so they don't do it so much now.
The UK does have white eggs, but also eggs in several shades of brown, depending on the "type" of the laying hen.
we do Tesco
Another thing is here in the UK sales tax is already included in the price. So the price you see is what you pay. No nasty surprises at the checkout.
Here in the UK, we used to have white eggs, but occasionally there would be a brown egg in the box. It all depends on what the hen had eaten before laying the egg. In short, the people buying the eggs found the brown ones more appealing, so farmers started intentionally feeding their chickens the food that makes them lay brown eggs. Now, it's rare to find a white egg here, in fact I had never seen one in real life until last week, when the cafe I work at accidentally bought a whole box of them.
Additionally, on my keyboard, the £ sign is on the 3, the $ and the € are both on the 4, you have to press shift for $ and alt gr for €. The @ is on the ' and the " is on the 2.
There's only one chain in the UK that I know of that sends out coupons, and that's Farmfoods, where you take the coupon, and you get £5 off when you spend £50 or whatever.
In terms of travel, I've been to several beautiful places in the UK, including Wales and the Peak District, I've also been to Madrid and Tenerife, both of which were incredible but I thought they were too warm. I've never been outside Europe. My brother has been to Thailand multiple times, he loves it there.
Eggshell colour is dependant on the breed of hen, not what they eat.
@@iantellam9970
You're right, I guess what I was told as a kid is wrong.
Coupons exist here. You get leaflets through the door, or if you have a loyalty card or are on a mailing list, you'll get them. Just people don't get obsessed by them.
On holidays - I know people who've been to Thailand on holiday - also (off the top of my head) China, South Africa, Egypt, Morocco, the Philippines, Malaysia, Hong Kong, Russia, Australia, New Zealand, Brazil...
The USA has a rover (launching helicopter drones) on Mars; the UK doesn't.
The USA has Disney parks; the UK doesn't.
The USA has 100+ of the Global 500 companies; the UK doesn't.
The USA has Tyler ... oh, damn!
What difference does this make to people's everyday lives? All that wealth power in the States and yet they can't provide their citizens with basic human rights. Something the USA FAILS AT MISERABLY.
The UK has castles - the USA doesn't. The UK has pubs - the USA doesn't. So what? It's meaningless when you can't provide your citizens basic life metrics. The USA has healthcare as a privilege - the UK doesn't. The USA doesn't have workers rights - the UK does. The USA has lax food standards - the UK doesn't. Putting machines in space or building naff theme parks isn't a great achievement.
1. There are so many different keyboard settings due to localization. Here in Germany we use The QWERTZ setup intead of QWERTY: Z and Y are switched. Our currency sign Euro (€) is located on the E and many punctuation signs are on other positions.
2. Eggs are in Germany in both colors. It depends on the race/breed. In Europe eggs aren't in the fridge in store becauce of the laws. In the US eggs have to be washed, in Europe they must not be washed. Washing destroys the natural protection layer from the egg shell. Bring them home and put them in the fridge there. Therefore sometimes feathers and/or shit remains on the eggs in the store.
Ultimately, the differences in keyboard layouts are a result of a combination of linguistic needs, historical context, and user preferences across different regions.
Different chickens produce different coloured eggs (yes I spelt coloured with a u). While most eggs are either white or brown, lots of birds produce other colours and they also come in cream, pink, blue and green. An American has learnt something new today.
The pound sign you're thinking of is called hash in the UK, like a hashtag.
Back in the day, years ago, we had coupons, restricting our choice of specific items. Now we have loyalty points which can be used with each shop, whatever you purchase. They can also be traded for three times their value so you can use them for days out, restaurants etc.
I think the colour of egg shells depends on the breed of the poultry. Also, a former TV cook here, Delia Smith, authored a cookery book with a picture of a bowl of brown eggs on the front. She was told to change it to white eggs for the US consumer or they wouldn't buy it. Apologies if I'm mistaken about Delia's book..
Germany has brown and white shelled 🥚 🥚 too and we usually don't freeze them either. Granted, the refrigator at home, is kinda a thing because "Where else to put them?" But in the store it's hardly (been) (if ever) done before.
What you call the pound/ tic tac toe board sign we call Hash. Like hash tag 😂😂
I have a Swedish keyboard and have a Dollar sign on the number 4 key, a Pound sign on the number 3 key and a Euro sign on the E key. In a addition to that I have 3 extra keys for the Swedish å, ä and ö letters.
Eggs does not really need refrigeration, however they will last longer in the fridge. The colour of the eggs depends on the breed of the hens.
as i'm sure someone below has already pointed out, most supermarkets have some sort of points/rewards card so that you build up points as you purchase to get rewards at a later date
Our local supermarket we get mainly brown, occasionally white (these change colour if you add edible dye to the water when you boil them) and blue. The insides are exactly the same, a yolk, which ranges in depth of yellow, and the clear which turns white on cooking.
We have pure white eggs in a few supermarkets, which come from a specific breed of bird, most are brown, some breeds produce very dark brown speckled eggs and blue eggs are common too. I do refrigerate mine for extra life, but will take them out a few hours before use to return to room temperature.
We used to have coupons years ago, but that has mostly been replaced by individual supermarkets offering a loyalty card through which they will give discounts on certain products in their stores or extra points - which add up to a monetary discount off the total of your shop.
Eggs are kept refrigerated in us because you don’t pasteurisation in production. In uk this is done and so are safe to leave at room temperature
Eggs are kept refrigerated in the US because of the cleaning with detergents before boxing which removes the protective coating of the eggs, thus rendering them more vulnerable to microbial penetration. Fresh eggs are not 'pasteurised' in the UK or in the EU, nor do they undergo vigorous cleaning.
your comment @18:10 is one of the reasons we go on some vacations.
"I've heard of the place but have no idea what's there" - be the explorer and find out, that's part of the fun
Once you add the ‘£’ to the keyboard, it forces the ‘$’ to move and that then cascades to move ‘@‘ and quotes (and $ is still needed as a special symbol in many programming languages, and things like Excel formulas)
