Let me know some question y'all might have about America!! Thank you guys for watching and supporting me!!!
I don't have any. It would be more interesting what questions you have for British people.
Carp fishing is pretty big over here people seem to love bass fishing over the pond . How come you don’t carp fish much generally
Bacon, it's not the bacon we don't like. It's the way Americans cook it.
You are welcome sweetheart.❤
Question regarding payment card security - why do Americans think it’s OK to hand your credit card to a waiter to take away from you?
That goes completely against what the card issuers say you should ever do - and it’s one reason why card fraud in America remains so stubbornly high even after adopting chip and pin, as there are too many unscrupulous waiting staff who will put through additional charges or skim the card while it’s out of your sight and use it for fraud later (or they sell the card details etc)
The sooner you all catch up on that the better ;)
I think the “why are your plugs so crap” isn’t just America it’s lots of countries. It’s because UK has the safest plugs in the world and we have one of the highest voltages.
The UK voltage is the same as most of the rest of the world and the plugs are over engineered due to the poorly designed electrical system.
@@cadifanit’s not poorly designed …. there was a copper shortage after ww2 so a ring main system was used requiring some more safety at the socket, such as individual fuses, the other measures, like switches, shielded terminals etc, are just good sense - the data I’ve seen suggest US home electrical deaths and injuries, including fires, are 2-3 times higher in US than UK per capita but this includes wiring faults etc.
@@cadifan uk voltage is 240volts most of Europe is 220volts, African countries are 230volts. That’s why I said uk has one of the highest. I didn’t not says they were the only ones though. Many Asian countries can vary from 220volts to 240volt. UK plugs are seen as some of the safest in the whole world. As are our sockets which have shutters.
@@EmilyCheetham NZ & Australia have the same voltage as UK, (which is 230, it's rated as 240 to cover fluctuations), but have a better electrical system, and our outlets don't need shutters because we don't have holes big enough for a child to stick their fingers in in the first place.
@@djs98blue That's what I mean by poorly designed. Other systems don't require giant plugs with their own fuses in them. In NZ we have the same voltage but don't use a ring system and don't require giant fused plugs.
If you haven't already. I suggest watching a video about UK plugs. As well we in the UK have back bacon. Which has a lot less fat that the pork belly bacon that you have.
What the US calls bacon, we call streaky bacon here in England
❤ What we call back bacon, you Americans call Canadian bacon. .
What you call bacon, we call streaky bacon...it's thinner rashers with a higher fat content, made from pork belly, whereas ours has a higher "meat" / less fat content, made from the back and loins of the pig. ...
My "toilet" question is:
Why do you have so much water in your toilet bowls? - it sits just below your butt, so you get "splashed when you "go" !!
(Ours are flushed clean with the water held in the cystern above the bowl, which washes the contents down in the small amount of water laying in the bottom of the bowl into the waste pipe, instead of "sucking" it down the pipe!!) 🥺😮😊 🏴😐🇬🇧❤️🖖
British bacon is a 100,000% better than what Americans think bacon is
Your bacon is what we call Canadian bacon and we do have it here. I still prefer the streaky kind, as you call it.
The bacon you showed we call ‘streaky bacon’ and is the cheapest. The bacon we use most we call ‘middle’ and the streaky is just the tail of it. If we separate the streaky from the middle we have ‘back bacon’ remaining. These are all rashers along with collar and longback as well as gammon but these last can be joints as well.
Whoa! Streaky bacon is the most expensive here in Australia (but it used to be the cheapest so I think you can guess what's going on there).
Yeah the only think I use streaky bacon for is Pigs in Blankets If I am having bacon I want meat not fat.
@@davidwebley6186 Fat is the best part and contains all the flavour. Think of a well marbled Scotch filet steak.
We have the cups you can get any colour really but the most common colour would be white
Why do a lot of Americans not realise there is actually a world outside of the u.s 😅 .
Great video but I have to say, the ingredients in your bacon sound like a chemistry experiment I did at school lol
Hi, I’m a Brit living in USA now. When k came here about 9 years ago I was shocked that chip and pin was not used like it had been in U.K. for a long time before that. Same with contactless - usa did not use that as quickly as U.K. I was shocked as we expect usa to be ahead of U.K. but actually they are not. Checks (cheques) are hardly used in the U.K. these days. I think the whole banking system here in usa is behind the times compared with U.K.
Banking is behind the rest of the world in the US because of all the "private" banks
Also they don't have the police national computer and the number plate scanners that we've had for decades.
another way to look at it is if all you pay with is a card or your phone you are more trackable/ hackable . i use real cash for 95% of all my transactions. it will be a dark day there is no cash and only digital payments.
Its only within the last 2 years i have seen/used tap and pay in the USA. And your bacon is terrible! You have to pick it up to eat like crisps! Biscuits and gravy? Thats just a scone covered in bread sauce.
@@Peter-gv6vf you’re not wrong there. The bacon is not good and biscuits (USA biscuits) May look like scones but don’t taste as good as scones. I miss U.K. food and certainly get my fill when I go back and stock up as much as I can to bring to USA - with what I’m permitted to bring.
Oprah....too many questions that need answering about her
In American films and shows they go to a house party with 6 cans of beer and get absolutely pissed from them. Not the same in Scotland lol. So are Americans real light weights when it comes to alcohol consumption lol. X
We don't need to drown our sorrows bud
Yes the 5m people in Ireland could outdrink the 340m people in the U.S.
......I know a few Scots who's turn up at a party with a 4 pack of Tennents and still manage to get pished 😂😂
The "Herbs" is a big gripe! The H is there to be used dammit!
Aloominum?? What??
Nukellar?? Huh?
Aluminium....
Nuclear.... just say it how it reads for Christ's sake! 😂😂
Also, the "Delicacy" you call bacon, is called streaky bacon in the UK, we use it at Christmas to stop the Turkey from drying up. It's purely sacrificial to the Turkey staying moist. We mostly eat middle or back bacon because it is less fatty. You can get our bacon thick or thin.
I didn't realise how much this stuff bothered me 😂😂
I cringe every time I hear someone drop the 'h' in 'herbs'. I know some of us Brits tend to drop some of our 'haitches' here and there, but never with 'herbs'.
it's never 'is' or 'ers', it's 'his' or 'hers' - the 'h' is there for a reason. you don't get injured and go to ospital - no - you go to Hospital!!!
same applies to herbal tea. it's not bloody 'erbal!!!
Herb as a name in the US is/was popular, so I believe that's why the H is silent for Murica
So you pronounce the H in the word honor, then, right? It's there. 😆
Say it like you see it is definitely not a great tip for English spelling or pronunciation.
If anything the US is like simplified English.
I'm from the UK myself. If I pronounced words as I seen them I might have problems describing taking reading classes in Reading for example.
Carmel is a small coastal town in California ? infamous for once having Clint Eastwood as its elected Mayor not an ingredient in candy bars
The reason for the gaps in the 'rest rooms' is that the US measures in imperial and orders the wood from Canada (metric) and can't handle the conversion!
😂
🤣
Lmfao jt your face when he said cookies and gizz absolutely a picture 😂
I tried the Scones and gizz (biscuits and gravy) once, after about an hour I spent the next two hours praying to God on The Big White Phone NEVER AGAIN!!🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
Think the chip and pin is an older thought because the states were so slow to catch up with the rest of the world, sending waiters off to swipe your card and potentially clone it, rather than doing chip and pin at the table,etc
They definitely do not decompose.
'Erb (herb) is the way the French pronounce it. Some here say 'erb (pretentious twats/twots) - from 1066 Norman French was the language of the "posh" folks (William the Bastard, later William the Conqueror).
But the french spelling is 'herbe', not many french words beginning with H Pronounce the beginning H, such as Hôtel, Hôpital etc. no excuse for Americans to drop the H though if they don't also spell it the same way as the french 😂
When we have parties we drink out of the can/bottle usually. Not many people go to parties and drink spirits and therefore need a glass, so mostly just wine drinkers need something, and they aren't going to want a plastic cup.
Where on earth did you get these ridiculous facts from ?? - !!!!
We used to just use regular glasses from the house the party is at if we drank spirits.
But yes we mainly drink out of cans/bottles whereas Americans seem to pour everything into those cups
I can understand the convenience but I am certainly not in favour of them.
As you well know, rural Americans completely lack 'soffistikation' !!@@Yos115
@@brianbrotherston5940 apparently Brits lack tact.
I used to enjoy these videos on UA-cam but my patience is now wearing rather thin with all our ignorant and uneducated US colleagues !! .. .. !!@@cookielady7662
I have watched similar videos of Brit’s asking questions to Americans. And to be honest, from an American brit perspective, I find many of these questions extremely condescending and borderline rude. You can ask questions without using the word ‘disgusting’, or ‘why are you like that?’.
It's just a tit-for-tat reaction to Americans criticising the UK. Both are childish. JT's reaction without taking offense is refreshing for not continuing the cycle and is commendable.
Looking at the plug behind you which sticks out from the wall you might like to try a video on our ( type G) plugs JT. Most of these questions do cross our minds now and again , the zee one seeming particularly strange . You ought to show us what biscuits & gravy is .
Wow, I don’t even think we even use cheque-books anymore
I haven't used one for over 25 years!
I do occasionally lol
Not many places accept cheques nowadays, they have been abolished.
I’m UK. Though it’s painful to hear ‘erbs’ historically that was the correct pronunciation before folk headed off from the UK to the US colony. (French l’herbe)
Just a couple of remarks:
1) You really have to come visit Europe!
2) America was a bit slower in adopting modern electonic payment methods. The fact that this video is eight years old shows here.
great video jt, as a english man i find all these questions legit lol, i have an extension for the accent question.. why do americans think we all speak like Oliver twist or the royal family? you can drive 30 mins in any direction and hear a differnt accent, we absolutely pronounce the h in herbs, it's basic english, cheese and rice.. bacon is great but uk bacon is just better, tried both and american bacon is terrible 🤪
Nah it's not terrible, it's good, but it is one dimensional over there as they never try anything else.
Chip and pin was introduced into the UK in 2004. It became mandatory in 2006 to replace the magnetic strip.
JT.I suppose we Brits would call your American bacon, as 'streaky' bacon,which we also have over here. But we tend to have the 'back' bacon, and sometimes 'medallion' bacon,which is just the big meaty bit of the back bacon
The (H) is pronounced everywhere in the UK unless your from Hull (were I'm from) we drop the H so Hull is ull 😂
glad i'm not the only one thinking this around these parts we drop the H on alot of words
A bloke I served with came from somewhere very close to Hull. He'd been a scaffolder on the Humber Bridge. He taught me Hullese and I taught him Cockney rhyming slang. One of the first things he taught me was " Do you know the Pope smokes?" which came out something like "Do you ner the Perp smerks?" Hoofing bloke.
It's rarely pronounced in Bristol and most of the West Country too
JT you said the video was old so that’s why you weren’t using chip and pin.. we’ve moved on in the UK we use contactless payments now. We just hold near the contactless point or tap the card, no pin, no signature
I think their toilet cubicles have gaps is to speed people up. If you’re uncomfortable you’ll be as fast as possible.
Yes we do my friend, glass all day and most of us have large cupboards or cabinets full of them for such occasions.
Re: ‘erb instead of herb…I learned recently that Americans are more right on skipping the H due to how that word entered English (from the French if I recall and the French don’t say the H…if I recalled correctly).
A lot of the American pronunciation that I used to think Americans get “wrong”, I have subsequently learned that it’s usually us Brits who have changed the pronunciation recently where as Americans are nearer the origins of the words.
Herb comes from Latin HERBA. Latin has no silent letters therefore the H should be sounded
@@conclaveofthelost513 from an etymology site:
“Middle English: via Old French from Latin herba ‘grass, green crops, herb’. Although herb has always been spelled with an h, pronunciation without it was usual until the 19th century and is still standard in the US.”
So while /latin/ doesn’t have a silent H it comes to English via old French which does, so it was always a silent H in /English/ - until we Brits decided to change it. So the Americans have it more “right” based on how the word came into English.
Loving your content. Would love to know how to make biscuits and gravy could Anna mainly and a little bit of yourself make some so I can try and recreate. Take care all
America was very late adopting “Chip and Pin” and then also slow adopting contactless - I remember learning how far behind America is with payment card security when I had to do a course on it around 2017.
But as for checks (cheques) or even the ol’ put your card in a machine to create a paper copy and then sign it, I can’t remember the last time I did that here - maybe around 2005? Literally almost before you were born was the last time I paid anything with a cheque.
Oh, as for payment card security - I have a question - I’ll put it under your comment asking for them :)
We call your bacon streaky bacon the most popular is bac bacon which is the loin there's also middle bacon which combines them both which is my favourite,the bread the lady was talking about is the normal white bread I've been to the USA 30 to 40 times (got a log cabin in Alaska) and it is very sweet
We have back bacon but I get medallions which is pure meat, much less cooking time as otherwise i won't eat the fat unless 100% of it is dark brown crispy cause I hate the chewy texture if not 😅 also watch the plugs video please and your face when the last guy gave an accurate visual description of what your biscuits and gravy looks like 😂😂😂 thanks for another funny video ❤
Yeah, I sometimes go the short cut (based on which cut the have on sale), it's good but not as tasty as the fatty cuts, the fat gives bacon most of it's flavour, but yes, the fat needs to be crispy, I think that goes without saying, the Yanks really crisp it up in general.
We have various sorts of bacon from the slice size you have (we would probably call that streaky, ie fatty) and then you have larger slices like you would have seen in the other video. The main difference taste wise is again sweetness, ours are no where near as sweet but are really good if done well.
The bacon pack you showed on screen JT is what we call streaky bacon in the UK. Mostly fat and rind with little meat. Used mainly in cooking like covering turkey and small snack sausages which we call pigs in blankets. Nice video.
😂😂 Easy comparison on size JT check out the video living in the UK with a 3 ton USA truck 😂
The chip and pin question is: why do you sign for payments on your card rather than just enter your PIN number? Again, this is an old video so maybe you do now, but it used to be that Americans signed their name when paying with a credit card. I expect you just tap the card to the reader and pay contactless these days like we do in Europe.
I was in the states maybe 10 years ago and was surprised when they brought out the old slide stamp thing they put your card
in and wanted me to sign the slip , chip and pin was common in the uk back then.
I bought a breadmaker, and over here (UK) the recipe is a teaspoon and half of sugar to add. maybe less, I looked at some Videos on UA-cam to see how to use the machine properly as I have only used it a couple of times, and saw some US videos on bread making..some using up to two-three tablespoons of Sugar..how can you eat it?..More Salt as well
Spin your set up around so that you aren't splitting the background levels. It will confuse the camera focus less.
That little cove in the corner in the background is perfect for a computer table and if there was a blank wall behind that then it would enable you to change background cheaply and easily.
Just throw a little acoustic padding around to damp the bass if you move the set up to the corner.
It's really not much of a difference but would make things easier and it's a lot easier to change things at the beginning of setting up a new place than towards the end.
Loving your content, think about half a year or so know I've been watching all your uploads across your channels so you're doing everything right, just thought I'd chip in a little
You said that the roads in kentucky are a car and a half wide. Where i live in wales, the roads near my house are hardly a cars width, as in that the windmirrors are hitting the vegetation on both sides of the road.
the bacon you showed is what we call streaky bacon the thick slices are back bacon we have both.
We have disposable cups in the UK but they come in all sorts of colours (mostly white) not just red.
Opera tried to come back with an interview with Barry and Barbara ( an ex prince and his wife) unfortunately for her it all went wrong
6:45 She has the audacity to question the pronunciation of herbs when she herself pronounces aitch with an H at the beginning.... what a silly twot😂😂😂😂😂
Instead of disposable cups we either drink beer from the can or pour spirits and mixer into a coffee mug. We don't mess about with our alcohol!😂
Red Solo Cups are not biodegradable and difficult to recycle as they are made from polystyrene. In fact it takes around an estimated 450 years for a cup to decompose. Most end up in landfill.
I’m from the uk and peoples weight is there own business but good video❤ love to see your grocery stores x
the 'chip and pin' thing was a bit of a dated question now, but at the time the vast majority of Americans when using a credit card specifically (debit cards were chip and pin) you still had the old archaic carbon paper signature system where you signed the receipt on carbon paper, the checkout operators would check it against the signature on the card, and keep a copy of the receipt for their records and the customer got the top copy.
as time has passed America has caught up to the rest of the world in terms of payment options, but at the time this video was made and slightly afterwards, America was VERY far behind the rest of the developed world in terms of technological payment systems and cyber security making digital payments an every day thing here in the UK/EU at the time.
Hi JT. Just feel so sad for the letter U.Gets left out of so many words in America. ColoUr,HarboUr,HonoUr,ValoUr etc. Pronouncing Jaguar as JAG-WARR instead of JAG-U-AR
We have 3 types of bacon back middle cut and streaky bacon streaky bacon is the bacon usa have .middle cut has the back and streaky together that is how they were before being separated streaky is known as poor man's bacon in uk
"Scones and Jizz"
OMFG Im crying lol!!!
I'm from Scotland and never thought negatively of the American accents ❤
I think the issue we have with the whole biscuits and gravy thing is that.. that isn't what either of the things involved are that isn't a biscuit a biscuit is a sweet thing you dip in your tea and gravy... Well if that's that colour you definitely made it wrong thats a sauce of some kind not gravy gravy is made with meat juices and you'd typically have it with some kind of roasted meat
There are some of these that have Americans replying, roasting them right back, and they're hilarious. If you could find one to react to, that would be great. Enjoyed this.
The herb thing is real..."erb" here in the UK is generally not something you stick in a meal you are cooking, although it will alter your perception of the rest of the day if you do so.
The Herb thing, I think a lot of dialects in the UK have the 'H-Drop', where I live its very common (inc. myself), so its definitely not just a US thing!
We have scones too! We have cookies we don’t call them biscuits! Our biscuits aren’t sweet, they are fluffy inside, our gravy isn’t just one flavor, we have lots of different gravy’s! Chicken, roast, red eyed, sausage, turkey, onion, mushrooms and etc.. actually all good❤ don’t knock it until you had it!
We know you call biscuits cookies, we want to know WHY????!!!!
We know your biscuits and gravy are probably tasty but it's your nomenclature that bothers, us. First they are NOT biscuits they are a strange form of scone, and the gravy is more like a white sauce.
@@vtbn53 I want to know why you call cookies biscuits!
@@cookielady7662 Because they ARE biscuits and have been since the 14th century. Derived from the French word "bescuit" meaning twice cooked, and that's how they were made in the day. It is unclear how biscuits became cookies in North America.
BUT this video is about Brits asking about America, but I am a polite person and have answered you.
Because 'cookies' comes from a Dutch word. I'm sure if you look up the etymology of the word cookie it will tell you what the word is.@@vtbn53
Bacon. We have two kinds. Hour normal bacon we call streaky and its not as popular due to not having much meat on it. Our most comman is back bacon, comes as smoked or unsmoked, as well as other flavours like maple etc. Back bacon comes normal or thick. So tasty.
JT, please...we need an update about Beau, your adopted cat, is he still around , greetings from Mike and Tracy (huge fans ) from England
I love American biscuits and gravy..it is the bomb! Btw, I don't use the 'H' in herbs, but then again I don't use the 'H' in hour , hotel and honour. (I'm Scouse so I don't use the 'H' in house too) hahaha. Love to you and Anna JT ♥♥♥♥
Fun fact there is no such thing as a British accent because different parts if Britain have different accents
Alternatively you could say that there are many varied British accents, as there are many varied American accents.
The bacon you have is what we call streaky bacon which is the cheap options here. What we have is back bacon which is like a thinly sliced pork chop with a longer tail End
people in the UK use chip and pin and contactless now but i dont know if we did 8 years ago
UK had a LOT of car and half wide roads in uk. We call them back roads or more officials they are called C roads on a map they are white roads. B roads in UK are you main roads around towns and roads to get form 1 town to the next, A roads are major roads and parts of a motor way/high way can be A road and M roads are motorways/highways.
In Yorkshire, 90% of words that start with "aitch" are pronounced without the "h" sound at the beginning... ('elp, 'ello, 'ow, etc.)... Herb is said with the "h", predominantly because Yorkshire folk (not including me)... "don't like "froggies""
Red solo cups, probably because they’re the only ones offered in that size and quantity.
JT, we invented the bacon butty, you dear cousins across the pond seem to live on streaky bacon, we use that as a cooking ingredient. As for bread, you can buy anazing artisan bread everywhere in the UK with no awful sugar in it. Great video reaction though, love watching your stuff.
We actually do have artisan bread in the U.S. that is better than most of the wrapped bread on the shelves in the grocery stores. Most stores also have separate bakery sections with higher-end breads and baked goods. Plus we have separate shops that are individually-owned and run bakeries.
@CherylVogler thanks for the info, had to search hard for anything not packed with sugar on my visits, glad to know this. Best places I found for what I rate as decent food was Boston and Charlestown, I'll know for the future. Great info.
would you watch some philomena cunk or healthcare differences uk v america videos
the ize thing really piisses me off as an English teacher.
Microsoft have default US dictionary and now British kids think ize is correct when UK English we use ise !!!
8:43 she really said the same thing twice XD 'erbs like'erbs
The back bacon we have, I believe you call Canadian bacon for some reason
Yes! You know we have it in the states. Thank you. So many assume we only have the "streaky' kind and even say so.
@@cookielady7662 I know, I've seen the same thing too. Strange isn't it
Pretty sure the chip and pin guy means when an American is paying for food for example, the server would take the card from the customer and swipe it in the back instead of infront of the customer with a handheld pin machine.
The pronunciation thing that's always confused me - apart from ''erbs' is Creg. It's Craig. like braid. you can say braid. same middle letters. where's the 'I' go?
Yeah, Chip & pin's old. we've had contactless for years now. Mr. Chip & Pin was behind the curve even 5 years ago.
Oh 'Crag' really grinds my gears 😅😂
The bacon that Americans eat is what we call "streaky bacon" it's the kind of pauper food we ate during rationing because of the blitz back in WW2.
Basically the worst cut you can get and still call it bacon.
And then Americans absolutely incinerate it, so have to put maple syrup on it - which is weird enough on its own.
a biscuit is a scone in England, gravy is a sky sauce that is the remains of the frying fat that you mix with a little flour, water and spices to make it a little thicker. but still a bit transparent. everything else is sauce. There are lots of things that have different names. 😉
Not really, we don't really have US style breakfast biscuits.
Scones are different and sweet.
Yea, the Z thing also lead to my mother's favourite saying and answer whenever me and my siblings asked why, "why? Because x, y, zed"
Had biscuits & gravy at breakfast when I went to the US… now there’s a US culinary ‘delicacy' we should definitely import! Absolutely yummy.
we have "back bacon" and "streaky bacon" back bacon is the usually bacon we use, but streaky is nicer in my opinion and more like the bacon u guys use
Heck of a way to learn Toby Keith passed away!
I get the impression the people in the Red Solo Cup video are well known... I don't know any of them?
Say it with me. HHHerbs 😂. We have back bacon which is thick and streaky bacon the bacon you held up we call streaky bacon. Great video. Thank you.
I grew up watching most US talk shows like:
Jerry Springer
Ricki Lake
Jenny Jones
Maury Povich
The Steve Wilkos Show
Sally Jesse Raphael
ANY TRAIL CAM VIDYAS coming up??❤❤❤
We hardly use chip and pin now. We have contactless lol
It's not as much of "why disposable cups" as "why are they always red"
In Devon, UK the H is silent such as erb, so from my perspective you are right.
Agreed. I'm from Bristol and those of us with a true Bristol accent drop the H, and we sometimes drop our T
In Lancashire we say "erbs" not "herbs" and we eat streaky bacon too! So not sure what all the gripings about! I guess it depends on what part of Britain you live in😁
I thought zed was the small version and zee was for the capital letter...
Britian was a very early adopter of Chip and PIN. My gripe when I did a lot of travelling in the US (this was a while ago) was at Pay at the Pump Gas Stations, the machine wanting your ZIP code as a security measure when paying by card. Which was kinda stupid when you've got a UK issued card and our Post Codes (the eqivlilent of Zip codes) have letters and numbers in, so you couldn't pay at the pump. You'd have thought that the numpties who designed the machine would have recogniosed that, I mean why ask for a Zip Code to verfify when there's no Zip Code to verfiy against?!?
I hope that they're now Chip and PIN and not using that same old stupid system.
Regarding parties and cups. Yeah for the most part adults will use proper glass tumblers and kids (at the age where they might still be running around with cups in their hands) will use washable plastic beakers. If you are having a big gathering, and you know glasses will be limited, then you might go and buy some throw away plastic cups, but yeah we mostly use "real" glasses for drinks.
Everywhere but america pronounces the H.. actually i think some spanish speaking countries also dont, but thats because its part of the language. which i think is why americans dont say it too. You take quite a bit of insperation from spinish stuff.
Yes. Herbs has an H. Also, Why is solder pronounced Sorder?
We say ZED rather than ZEE because originally the letter was called ZETE in Greek, which the French then turned into ZEDÉ. We took the middle French pronunciation, probably from the Norman conquest and it stuck.
It is Zed in Dutch as well, though they pronounce it zet.
Every English-speaking country says zed - even Canada. As usual, the US simply likes being the odd one out in almost all matrices.
I buy red solo cups in the pound shop (dollar store)
In Scotland, subway bread is classified as cake due to the amount of sugar in it.
I think its because you guys were a late taker to chip and PIN, when we visited in 2016 we had to sign for everything, however in 2022 most plces were chip and PIN so it will be because of the age of the video
I think the gravy thing is because you call a cream sauce gravy but gravy to us isn't a cream based liquid
I haven't been out with cash for years! Or cards. Apple pay works for me!
