My dad's house has a small room off of/connected with his kitchen, his hot water heater is in a small closet in there as well. My washing machine and dryer are in my garage. We also have Sunday dinners here in North Carolina. They're usually after we get home from church, sometimes at the church itself on special occasions.
Pretty sure I've heard British people don't like tips
@@drewpamon we don't like giving tips, being given tips from someone, we quite like lol
I've got the secret to make sure your turkey (or chicken) doesn't dry out. It's been handed down from my grandmother and it works. You have to "swell" the turkey. After you stuff and truss it you put it in the sink and pour a kettle of boiling water over it. It will swell up. It will seal the pours of the skin and slightly separate it from the meat so that it creates a seal for the juices to stay in. You then pat it with butter in the creases and put a little water in the bottom of the roasting pan. I have never had a dry turkey, nor my mother, nor my grandmother. It's also really cool to watch it swell. My mom would always call to us when it was time to swell the turkey so we could watch. Such a simple joy for a child. LOL
I guess you have not experienced “traffic” in New York? Los Angeles, SF Bay Area . There IS DEFINITELY road rage !! YOU GUYS ARE SOOOOOO ADORABLE!!❤️🤗
"If you took a CVS receipt and wrapped it around the world, you could do it." LMFAO!
“Road rage is British” lmao haven’t spent much time in New York then? 😂😂😂
Excautly
New Yorkers *_invented_* road rage
Actually, any city.
And Americans don't honk their horns as much because it's how really ugly confrontations begin. In other words, there's so much road rage, that we have to contain it or it turns into assault, even homicide
For real! Or Chicago
I still remember my middle school Vice Principal being frustrated when he told us to "queue up", we just looked at him with confused faces. (He was from Britain) A teacher needed to have a whispered conversation with him, before she told us to line up, and we immediately did. He looked baffled. 🤭
Really? I know line up and queue up.
@@mayitbe6606 we hadn't heard the term before, but this was about 40 years ago as well. Once it was explained to us, we happily complied. 😊
We always had the big Sunday dinners when I was growing up. I think it's still pretty common with some families, but it does seem to be less common with each generation.
Jaywalking is illegal, but so many Americans disregard it because it's rarely enforced!
That depends on where you live. I larger US cities it's inforced more often.
My husband went to university with a girl who tried jaywalking and was hit by a car. She rolled up and broke the windshield. The driver won a settlement against her.
It will be enforced by a Mack Truck barreling down the road.
It's very much enforced in larger metropolitan areas in the US.
I live in Denver and Jaywalking is pretty common, but only when the intersection is clear. I'm fairly certain I've seen a cop jaywalk before, but they also speed so that's not really saying anything.
Helps to prevent accidents...
Lol we drink hot tea guys 😅
Sunday dinner is common here too
I’m from NYC so we have A LOT of pubs
Jaywalking is basically a sport in NYC lol
"ffffffff*ck, is it sunday?????"
As a former New Yorker, I agree 100%.
Seriously, you can tell a visitor in New York City because they wait at the crosswalks.
I'm from NJ and now live in NC ppl Jay walk all the time lol
There a lot of Brits living here that have CVS cards. Even some that don't live that so. I have a tesco club card and don't live in England. I think whoever told them jaywalking would get them in trouble was just winding them up. But crossing a major 3 lane highway is illegal. It's not classed as jaywalking though,--- that's about city streets, where there are crosswalks designated for pedestrians. Never known anyone to get fined though--- it's really about safety cause there are lights at crosswalks for pedestrians as well as cars. Americans are more patient as drivers. My husband is a Brit he's got an unreal temper with driving. It's embarrassing how much he honks the horn--- I try to drive where ever we go to avoid such situations lol. I don't drive when we're in the UK though. I'm not pushy enough. It would take me 3 days just to get out of the airport 😂. We do have pubs in the US, gastro pubs as well. I'm not sure why Brits think we don't.
We "get in line" when waiting for service at like fast food joints, ticket lines, amusement park rides, stuff like that. But I would never see a line at a barber. There you just have a seat, and people remember when the order in which they came in. Or they'll ask..."Who's next?"
joints? barber? dude, you could have your own youtube channel! 🤩
Lia- “We went to visit our friends in the village of Hambledon” This sounds so medieval 11th century🤣 and yes I’m American.
There is a lot of road rage in the USA too, you just got lucky that day
They should try walking in Chicago. Better yet, drive slow in the expressways.
Agree. The area around any large American city will have more than it's fair share. I had one incident devolve to the point where the rage said, and we were both standing outside our cars in a car park at the time, "I've got a gun." So, I was obliged to wait while he rummage around his pick up truck for a gun. In the event, he didn't have it or couldn't find it. So, he rummaged for some other handy deadly weapon. He thought about hauling out a large chain in the bed of the truck, but it seemed too big for him. So, he gave that up too. Finally, he returned with an empty threat and promise to do me damage later. Well, it's nearly 30 years later now and I'm nearly tired of waiting.
I've noticed the further north and east you go in the US, the more impatient the drivers, whereas the more south and west you go, the more polite and laid back. I will say the furthest west I've been is Oklahoma City, so I don't know about the West coast. Many years ago in OKC the hubby and I decided to walk to a restaurant that was across a 4-lane highway with a median in the middle. We figured we could make a dash to the median, then watch the traffic for a break the other way. But as we stood there on the road side watching the traffic for a break, all four lanes stopped to let us cross. It was mind-boggling. Which is to say there's no one traffic culture in the US. Some places are laid back and some will leave you in tears if you didn't get over to get to your exit 5 miles back because no one will let you in.
Lynette Cowper polite in the west😂😂😂. I’m from la and the road rage is real
@@kirbypierce195 She said she didn't know about the west coast though.
Nothing sound more British than J&L saying “soorrrryy” in unison. ☕️ 🇬🇧
We lineup we just don’t like to look like we’re lining up
I've never been able to put it into words before. Thank you.
"Sunday Dinners" used to be a thing here. That was the day of rest so families would get together for a Sunday meal. IDK why people don't do it anymore.
When I was a little kid, we'd go to my great grandparents right after church and grandma would feed everyone fried chicken. I'm sure there were sides but it's the 🐔 I remember.
I liked the fact that you two were outside and sitting in chairs to have the conversation. It seemed very natural.
we put our washer and dryers and in a “laundry room”
We put them in the kitchen 😊😊😊
Hmm, I agree with Audrey that a separate laundry room is normal but I've also experienced the machines in a space that is part of the kitchen,...probably due to the plumbing being in place for the sink.
Paul D Yeah, most UK houses don’t have a separate laundry room, but more modern houses and people extending their homes do tend to include a utility room now.
Mid-twentieth-century American homes quite commonly had the washing machine in the kitchen or the bathroom, because like Paul D commented, that’s where the plumbing was. But, since most homes of that era also had eat-in kitchens, the idea of having your dirty clothes in the same room you eat in became unappealing. So, utility rooms were added, or the washer got moved to the basement.
@@pauld6967 And, if you live in an apartment (flat) there's often no room for a washer anywhere but the kitchen. In many buildings there are laundry rooms with washers and dryers for the entire floor or building to share.
I think you two need to visit small towns! We are nothing like big cities. A lot more similar that you would think. We sit outside and have our coffee or tea, we allow others to go before us in line, we always did Sunday dinners growing up... I think small town do relate so much!
I’m going to change the name of this video “things Brits do that Americans do also”
LOL I was thinking the same
Yes, it so funny since they say that America doesn't do these things but here in a American I thought all of this except one was common anywhere
I died at his road rage comment.
Ok
One of the first lessons that we learn when we start school is how to line up. However, even as children we aren't very good at it. I think it's because we are such a chatty group of people. We may stay in line while the line is moving but the moment the line stops we have a tendency to group up so it's easier to talk to each other. We all know who is in front of us and who is behind us in the line so while our lines may look chaotic they really aren't. When I was growing up (many moons ago) my family always had a nice Sunday dinner. From the time I was about 10 years old one of my chores was to cook our Sunday dinner. Sometimes I'd roast a chicken with mashed potatoes and gravy or I'd make roast beef with roasted potatoes or spaghetti with meatballs. Often my Mother would take out the meat she wanted me to cook and I was allowed to make up with my own recipes. It was a great learning experience. No matter what I made my meals were expected to be served with all the trimmings. Enjoyed the video. Thanks for sharing.
Linda Collins Your family was very brave.
I’ve never known anyone actually arrested or cited for jaywalking. Just be careful, drivers are frequently distracted and/or speeding.
A few years ago in Phoenix, a university professor was tackled and arrested for jaywalking. It caused a lot of controversy because bystanders insisted the officer used excessive force when she tried to explain herself. He tackled her to the ground and cuffed her. And also because she was a black woman.
"Hit me for a big payout"
US college students have the same mindset as Londoners I guess
While driving on a campus have you ever said, "I'll give you x points if you hit him/her?" College students are oblivious to their own mortality.
"Americans don't have road rage" y'all should hear my dad going on about the ducking duckers that surround us on the roads, lol. We are just more afraid of being hit. I live in the country though, so you'd have to be insane to try to walk anywhere.
We get “in line” in grocery stories for now and in elementary schools almost everywhere. Sunday dinners are very normal in Italian American families.
Can't wait for Sunday dinners to resume after quarantine! More varied dare this days, but same idea!
My mom was Italian and Sundays usually meant pasta, she made a big pot of sauce the night before and when we get home from church just cook the spaghetti (we called almost everything spaghetti whether it was penne, linguine, angel hair etc) but lasagna or any baked pasta was lasagna or whatever it was. If we didn’t have pasta it was a roast chicken with rice. If we had more family over it was most likely lasagna or some special pasta like cavatelli. Sometimes we would go to my aunt’s house n it was always a pasta dish there as well. I miss those days.
In the South, Sunday dinner was always a pot roast or baked chicken with alllll the trimmings.
Get on line, in NYC area.
Sunday dinners are common in many US families. Usually the biggest meal, maybe 1:00 pm
Road rage is definitely a thing here in the U.S.
Oh yeah most DEFINITELY 😆
That is an understatement.
Yes specifically when people are hogging the left lane. Left lane is for passing, people!!!!!!!
Very true
And I think the degree of rage definitely varies by state! I won't go insulting other states, BUT i have driven in about 28 of the states and some are well...uhhhhh....a litlle more easily agitated than others. But I'm ok anywhere....grew up with Jersey and NY drivers!
Never heard Americans beeping? Haven't been to NYC, have you?
Or Florida
haha
Or Chicago
I think I heard them beep in Denver. But wasn't there for that long. That being said, I can't distinctly recall a honk from there.
Mike L or Chicago
"I have to speak to your manager " - hahaha that's so "Karen" of you.
I love hot tea and sitting at my backyard patio. I live in Florida.
I’ve had 7 cups of PG Tips today and trying to get my hubby to make me another.
I’ve got a question resently I saw this American making tea and she did it horribly
So how would you make ‘British’ tea
I do that too and I live in Florida as well!😂
Haha, I’m from Florida to specifically Miami. In my opinion the hot and humid weather of Florida isn’t the best combo with HOT tea .
Ender Boy well, first you start with REAL English tea. And an electric kettle. I steep it exactly 2 min 30 sec. since I make it by the cup, I (or my husband) then add sugar and WARM cream. Not creamer. Cream. It has to be hot. Hot enough to scald your throat.
That’s how I learned to make it from an English lady.
If I were making a pot of tea, I’d have the cream & sugar in a cup and pour it over it.
Americans are quite conditioned to lining up. I’ve even seen experiments where they had a few people start a line (actually for nothing) and people would join the line just because it was a line so there must be a reason.
That happens at the airport when people think that they are in the security line but really they lined up behind some confused guy. Lol
I was standing on one side of an upscale restaurant in Malibu, waiting for it to open for dinner, meanwhile enjoying a stunning view of the Pacific, and a line had formed behind me. My sister pointed it out, so we went to the actual entrance, and the line followed.
cookies4present Not everyone is as kind as you
cookies4present I and others I have seen do that, unless the other person has something heavy they are carrying, then they get priority. Usually.
Deborah Grysko 😂 lol I don’t know why this made me laugh, but this was a great story. Thanks for sharing
When you were talking about pubs, it sounded like a tavern
Isnt it basically a tavern without the hotel part?
Well, it's a public house. As in someone's living room with booze. Strictly speaking they can tell anyone to leave. Like your own home.
@@simonpowell2559
wikipedia says,
"Today, there is no strict definition, but CAMRA states a pub has four characteristics:
is open to the public without membership or residency
serves draught beer or cider without requiring food be consumed
has at least one indoor area not laid out for meals
allows drinks to be bought at a bar (i.e., not only table service"
We have lots of those in USA
My 'washing machine' is at the local laundromat! 🤣🤣🤣
Growing up in the south US we had a big Sunday dinner. Almost always roast beef. Don't think it's done nearly as much now.
“A pub is where you can have a three course meal or just a drink”
That’s just an Applebee’s or a Chili’s my guy 😂
No. Real food. Real drinks. I'm an American and chains are NOT pubs!
They only cite Applebee's or Chili's because they're from some horrible rural backwater and everywhere in the US outside of cities, all the restaurants are corporate chain restaurants, there are hardly any locally owned drinking establishments outside of cities.
Up North (Wisconsin, Minnesota, UP of Michigan) we call those supper clubs. They are just family run places that typically have a bar area when you walk in and a dining area off in another room. Often the meals are served family style. The bar area will have the required TV sets playing, but also a jukebox, pinball machines, shuffleboard maybe, darts, pool table. Many will also have money stuck in the ceiling that is used as a fund raiser for some local group like the volunteer fire departments. Very casual and relaxed feeling about it. Oh, and there is always that one older drunk couple that is fighting about something.
Not the same
Brit & Patrick & Son Haven & Mullen & Mullen
Yeah the town I grew up in as a kid had no chains and only local restaurants. The only place you’ll find a chain restaurant is in cities. That guys clearly doesn’t know what an actual rural town is 😂
My sister and her family are now living in England. I recommended y’alls (yep Southern US here lol) channel because it’s so informative. I love hearing the differences between our countries.
When I was younger Sunday dinners were a thing and had been in the US. Seemed to end in the 80'S.
Yeah, when the big mama ended, she was the grandmother that would slap the mess out of you if you looked at her wrong. Today's grandmothers are on vacation and don't want you messing up there BF time.
My family did this for a long time until I moved out of state. 😅
In the US it is called the laundry room. The room where the washer and dryer are kept.
When I was stationed in Germany, the hook-up for the washer was in the bathroom. That whole room was tiled, all the way up to the ceiling, which was really strange to this American back in the late 1970's. We didn't have a dryer, and had to hang everything on lines the landlord strung in the basement storage rooms.
I agree that a lot of people have laundry rooms, but where I live a lot of us have our washer and dryer hookups in the basement
Yeah its always either by the kitchen in a separate, small room or downstairs in its own room
Or the laundry closet... My w&d is "separated" from the kitchen because it's behind 2 folding doors.
Oh, no. w&d never in a kitchen. That's just wrong.
So good to see you outside in the garden, drinking coffee / tea! Great topic today, guys!
I couldn't agree more.
I’m embarrassed to say how confused I was at first when Lia said “I saw them in Greece, too” because I thought she said “I saw them in Grease 2” which is wonderfully shitty movie from the US.
😆
As a kiwi living in London, what I've come to realise is that NZ life is a very weird mix on UK and US culture. Its like we have taken the best of both... and made it better. lol You should definitely do a vid on it. PS, huge fan of your work.
I have heard this a couple of days ago, on I want to say 'The Late Show With Trevor Noah' but, don't quote me on that! He's just the only one that comes to mind when it plays in my memory! I'm American and always find other Culture's fascinating. I hope I get to hear more on what other Country's have learned and like from us, and what parts of our Culture they actually apply in their daily lives! I Love hearing stories of how much we are different from other Nations! Since Everyone from All over The World settled at some point in America, our language and even our Dialect varies in different parts of the Country. I've also heard we have over 50 different accents, and I'd only noticed very few lol! The More You Learn!!!
and you loved it so much you left...
Thanksgiving in the US isn't all Turkey. Many love chicken, game hens and ham.
My family always did Sunday dinner at my grandmothers house. Unfortunately it stopped after my grandmother died. Miss her.
That’s sad 😢. ... you need to start the tradition back up in her honour ❤️
Awww you brought back a memory. We used to go to my grandmothers every Sunday for dinner as well growing up. We always had fried chicken and mashed potatoes. Un fortunately we stopped doing it sometime in the late 70’s early 80’s. I’m aging myself lol.
I try to have a Sunday Roast at least twice a month here in Australia 🇦🇺 My Son is away every second weekend.When I was a Child, Sunday Roast every Sunday at Grandma’s..These Days many Parents work Weekends and there are more broken Family’s..Like mine..I try my best to keep some Family Traditions..The World is too Fast today😞
eleni Kominos I want someone to make ME a roast dinner every Sunday. I’m glad you are trying to keep the tradition alive in Australia !❤️ I need to not be so lazy, and start the tradition here in Texas 😊
Sorry
Road Rage definitely exists in the Northeast U.S....New York, New Jersey for sure!
Yes I just thinking that
Road rage definitely exists in Texas!!! Mainly the big cities.
@C R...yassss I agree!! I’m from jurzzy and we have major road rage..it’s absolutely horrible! Sorry bout that 😔
Here in Central Florida also.
In surprised no one has mentioned the fact that road rage sometimes includes shooting at other people.
I am Subscriber No. 3,201. I stumbled on to your channel today. So glad.
What I learned: Boxing Day! I had heard of it, but had only vague notions of a boxing ring. I had no idea it was about boxes, and boxing them up. Who knew? Thank you.
Not sure if you're a traditional couple, a Will & Grace couple, or just marvelous friends, but it doesn't matter. I am ust thinking out loud. Your chat and chatter were marvelous fun. Three cheers from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA.
This American loves Sunday roasts. Best food ever!
Lia you had some great comedic lines today but my favourite was “darling I don’t have an address, we are from the UK “😂 this video made my birthday so funny and so true.😄
Happy birthday
Happy Birthday
Cody Carlin thank you☺️
Kaiser thank you☺️
Happy Birthday 🎂🎂🎂🎂
i like how he said Americans are chill in the road...
Me a New Yorker: GET OUT OF THE ####### WAY YOU LITTLE PIECE OF ####!
Agreed! I haven’t lived in NY in 30 years, get me behind the wheel and my accent comes back and my mouth starts flying. I’ve shocked my husband many times and considering he is a retired Sailor that’s an accomplishment. Lol
New member here, and I’m loving all the things you are talking about. When I visited my sister in England last year, I was not comfortable crossing the road at first because I didn’t know which way to look.
I never knew 'pub' was short for public house. Thanks guys, I learned from you today!
We were introduced to the word queue by Netflix, back when their service was mostly loaning DVD's.
Before Netflix, there were printers and print queues
@@pottsdc And before that there was Elementary School lol!
@@pottsdc Totally forgot that one.
Also long used in broadcasting-queue up the next clip/song. Most Americans wait in line, and NYers wait on line.
I remember mentioning a queue to a group of Americans. They all looked totally baffled. One pipped up "Oh, he is talking about kudos." !!!???
I grew up in the South and my family had a big Sunday dinner every week. Typically roast beef with all the sides. Usually our extended family would come over each Sunday afternoon.
Yessss we would have fried chicken, greens, Mac n cheese. Least for my family. Typical southern meals.
Still laughing about having to be savage at the CVS. You guys are adorable.
Always make me laugh. Thanks! 😂
Actually I get road rage in the grocery store.
Me to especially walmart
Me too!! Get that cart to the right! Don't block the aisle and chat with friends! and if I'm in the 15 or less line and someone is getting cigarettes and a lottery ticket. ARGH!!!!
Why were you driving in the grocery store? ;)
My sister. Also on Mario Kart. That is where the real road rage comes from. Mario Kart.
No kidding. Especially wearing a mask in 90 degree weather while everyone is dirty looking everyone else like everyone is Typhoid Mary! Sigh.
I hardly ever jay walk because I'll be the only one who'll get caught
I HEAR you on that! That's my luck as well!
I don’t stop for jaywalkers either. You want to cross the street, go to a crosswalk. Well, ok, if it’s a little old lady, maybe.
@Rachel P pedestrians DO NOT have right of way if they walk in front of on coming traffic that aren't expecting you or can't stop in time. You're still supposed to give cars time to stop.
So True!! I feel like I got called out twice from jay walking..it’s so embarrassing b/c the police blow their whistle at you and I feel I have a pink fluorescent flag on my head!!😂
@Rachel P you don't know the law then. If someone walks out directly into traffic & gets hit the driver WILL NOT be charged. I know this from experience. It's like jumping in front of a train.. the train & engineer are not at fault.
I cannot hear the word carrot without thinking of Lia’s random carrot moment - makes me laugh every time.
I was flabbergasted when you called your overalls "dungarees". That's a new one for this Aussie.
I'm surprised I thought that "dungaree settlers " (the aussie equivalent of "crackers ") was still a thing down under
My wife grew up in the South and they had a big Sunday dinner after church. I have had to beep more than ever since people are looking at screens when the light goes green.
While sitting here with hot tea and local honey, I am remembering my large Sunday dinners with my family. Also, had a Pimm's Cup a few Sundays ago during Brunch. 🤷♀️
My parents also grew up in the south. We had a roast every Sunday. Mom would put it in the oven before Church and it would be ready when we got home.
Grew up in New England and we always had Sunday dinner
Yes, when I was a kid, we always had a big Sunday dinner, many times with the whole family.
@@rebeccacorbin1590 Yes! I live in Pittsburgh,Pa.and many of my relatives moved up here from the south years ago.We have roast on sundays and its usually sort of like a holiday dinner.
I've never heard of anyone in the US ever getting a ticket or fine for jaywalking. I guess it is possible, but I wouldn't worry about it.
Rolling BnB what cops stopped and detained Michael Brown for in Ferguson before murdering him. It’s used discretionally by police when they want to harass people.
Yeah. It's an old, old law from like the 1800's or something that just isn't used anymore. I have been seeing video's lately with the BLM movement that cops like to use that old crap against Black's just to be A Holes though. That is Not supposed to put you in Jail. They really can or are supposed to write a Citation and you pay a fine. If That! Some Cops are just looking for excuses to arrest Black's. I don't know much about these people since this is the first video I've watched. But, I kind of get the idea they haven't been in the North yet. Because just about everything they are talking about reminds me of the Northwest where I live. We have and do very similar things as they do. Being in the North we drink lots of hot tea, have Pubs as they are talking about, have road rage but, I believe we tend to stop for Pedestrians crossing because damn. Who want's to deliberately just Hit someone trying to cross the street. As far as the Washer and Dryer area....Hey! Whatever works.....Works lol!!!
@@sumnic14 Wow! Just what I said lol.
@@Mmmkayy
So true! Read an article about cops using jaywalking laws to harass and fine Blacks in Jacksonville, FL.
@@risitascositas1699 Yes, they love to use old laws that used to put people in jail hundreds of years ago, when they were first written but not highly looked out for because they are totally ridiculous! Using them now against Blacks because of BLM and Defund The Police. Cops Love to make the point that they matter more than others and are going to find and use even the dumbest laws ever on the books. Smh like I said, they can only use Citations per Tickets if at All. I believe those old laws are governed by each Town, Village, City, County etc on whether they are to be used any longer. I also believe Cops are using the Citations on Blacks to see if they show up to pay the fine and if not, they go after them to throw them in Jail, because they can do that if the fine is not paid. They can pick that person up anywhere at anytime and Cops hope they will find something on them they can use to get them into More trouble than they were already in. We Can't close our eyes to these injustices any longer!
Legit my new fav UA-cam channel 😂
When I was a kid we would go to my grandmothers for sunday dinner.
Americans most certainly do stand in line. At the bank, to buy concert tickets, at the cinema, etc.
It is a queue. They just can't spell it.
Yeah, but we're not good at it,lol!
Yea we have lines everywhere. So i don't get why you think we don't. Doesn't every country? Only place is different is at deli where you take a number and they call your number. You don't have to stand in line then you can shop until they call your number. Lol.
@@fionagregory8078 no ques are only on a phone like a pretend line...and no i can't spell it.
Vince O'Driscoll I ill never understand theBritish obsession with ‘queuing’. We stand in lines all the time but we don’t love it or talk about it. We just do it
It used to be a tradition to have a roast dinner on Sundays here, but it’s gone by the wayside.
My family did Sunday dinner for 35 years, but I think our issue is our family tripled in size. So I take it on and try to do one a month. I love it, but dang, 15+ is a lot of food. But the chaos is my favorite part!
Lol!! I’m SO screaming “Apologize!” out the window next time I’m in an altercation on the road. 🤣
Apologise*
I’ve never seen two individuals so proud of being British.
It's a nice change of pace.
A lot of families in the US have Sunday dinners🤷🏽♀️
I live in spain and my washing machine is outside in the "garden" and it's so common here ,although I got so confused when I first came here 😂
Loved you guys sitting outside!! And Lia ... let's not talk about weight! I haven't gained a single pound throughout this covid nightmare, but my jeans sure are tight now!! Enjoyed the content guys! I'm always excited when I see a new Joel/Lia/combo video!
Dude, you guys are the coolest. Love your videos. Watching from Argentina 🇦🇷
I teach first grade in the States and kiddos take their queue VERY serious. 😂😂😂
We road rage in the US lol. People even get shot sometimes in Cali.
Hi, Joel. Hi, Lia. I haven't commented in a long time, but I'm back! And anyway, I've always been watching.
I was aware of all of these things that Brits do, except pub gardens, but it was great to hear you really talk about them and describe them. You've made them so much more real and tangible for me. Thanks for that.
I've never heard of a pub garden before. I'm glad you talked about them. Thanks for that too!
Growing up, my family always had Sunday roast dinners after church, especially, during the colder months out of the year (a total of two). However, living in a very sunny climate year-round, many times our Sunday dinner would be a BBQ by our backyard swimming pool/outdoor living area, or at the firepits on the beach. Depending on the climate, your traditions can be something quite different from those who live in colder climates for the majority of the year.
In Switzerland, Christmastime is always blanketed with layers of deep snow, and hot, Sunday roast dinners are so anticipated and welcomed. Whereas, in Australia, Christmastime takes place during their summer season, and the very thought of a hot kitchen is far less desirable than being outdoors barbequing in the open air. I have learned that "tradition" is whatever you make it. With that being said, I would never turn down a beautiful, delicious, Sunday roast dinner, just as long as I wasn't responsible for making it under extreme heat conditions.
We're always in line. Lines everywhere! You guys are way off on this.
It's not the same as in England. They don't mind being in a line while being in a line pisses us Americans off.
British seem to be more tolerant of being patient.
12:50 ahahahaha 😂 Even Canada has some extreme road rage
Great video. I like this style of video.
Love you guys so keep up the beautiful vlogs
New Yorkers stand "on line", the rest of the country stands "in line"
Rick Alexander That’s New York City area specifically. The rest of the state we stand in line. ;-)
Agreed. Also we do use a “que” but at least from my perspective it’s a specific type of line. Like having 3 cashiers and one long line where whomever is able to take the next customer, will.. that’s a que line. Otherwise you might have 3 separate lines, at each cashier. A que is MUCH faster, even though the line itself is so much longer.
I guess that would have sounded odd when the internet first became popular. To say you were standing "online" would cause non-NY natives to say HUH?
How are you standing on a line? Haha
very funny and remarkable perceptive. I am from NYC and def. stand on line... never thought about the difference, but you are 100% right
When I was growing up, it was common to see the washing machine in the kitchen or back porch.
Lmao the CVS receipt minirant. Also, the first time I saw the word "queue" I was like, wtf is kwayway? Oh it's A LINE?
The length of the cvs receipts. I’m dead. 😂
"pub" stands for "public house" explains a lot
Joel: (squealing like a girl) "I'm not afraid of bees" 🤣
First time seeing you both. How lovey. Thanks for the laughs. I live in DC, road rage is real here.
I just subscribed because you both are Charming! You were spot on in the majority of your comments. I laughed out loud when you said Americans must be more patient!!🤣🤣🤣
I wonder if my mother had British ancestry because we had a roast dinner with potatoes and carrots or a chicken dinner EVERY Sunday without fail!!...🤔
When I see a queue to enter store, I leave and go somewhere else. I'm not lining up to go in and spend my money
Yep.
Why not shop online?
CVS is pretty much the only one that does that where I live. Even Walgreens has been giving less coupons and they tailor the coupons to your preferences.
That's funny, every store I go to prints out a ton of coupons. Fry's, Walgreens, ect.
Come to Jersey , road rage & beeping is the normal 😂 and if you step out it’s kinda like “go enough get hit if you want”
You can tell when Joel and Lia have an inside joke, they say something at the same time, look at each other and laught and say it again!! I love that people who hang out with each so much, they have inside jokes! Very cool!
Once again a fantastic video. You can't do anything wrong as far as I am concerned. I always enjoy your videos and usually learn something from them. I hope you stay safe. In all actuality most places here in America don't enforce jaywalking laws. I love my Legends.
When all this COVID nonsense is over y'all need to do a video in a pub so we can see what it's all about. It sounds lovely.
I’ve always wanted to go to London and see a Pub for myself. Must be so exciting.
@@kathleenjimenez8394 The best pubs are outside of London! You should go to the more rural areas to see the more authentic, ancient pubs that have been in towns and villages for centuries, and where there aren't many tourists so you know you'll get a genuine British experience!
Yes that's a great idea 🇺🇸🇺🇸
If any of y’all are Americans, there’s “pubs” here. But they’re mostly located in the south.
We went to so many pubs in London, York and Edinburgh. So lovely. Passed one somewhere called, “The Boston Tea Party”. Never got back to it.
But yes, go to a pub whenever possible!
When you said bar staff remembers who's next, they don't in my area. They like to do the locals and it's like a task to get served as they hate anyone new 😂
1:25 as i literally finished microwaving my tea before every joel and lia video lol
Quit being lazy
"Football hooligans" is the single best term that I have ever heard.
One of my favorite lines from "Fish Called Wanda" includes the phrase. Love it!
You should see a film called "Hooligans", in UK it was called "Green Street", I was born in the district where it was set and I knew many people like the characters.
Another difference between our vocabulary is that you call it a garden, we call it a back yard or front yard.
ya and our gardens have fruits or vegetables or flowers
I've always thought they were gardens as long as stuff was growing in them. If it's just grass and a tree or two, then it's a yard.
Small apartments usually have washer/dryer in kitchen.laundry rooms are the norm . And queuing is the funniest 😂 word to me.
I just discovered you two..I absolutely love your videos
When I was a kid we had a utility room... washing machine was still in the kitchen cause it wasn’t big enough for it to fit 😂
Lia looks just happy and herself when she's with Joel .when i watched her videos in her own channel,especially with her boyfriend ,she's just another girl that i used to watch with joel.
Wait lia and hotel aren't a couple?? You just ruined everything for me. I don't even like this show now 😞 noooo!!!!! It can't be true! I could've sworn i saw a video about them talking about them being faithful to each other. That wasn't long ago???
@@lizamartin4705 they've always just been friends, lia has always been in a relationship and Joel just got in one
I was going to ask what a Q was, glad you clarified you were talking about getting in line. And if you get out of line you’re giving up your spot unless someone is nice enough to give you your place yet. Cutting someone in line is rude and some people would let you know that.
Letting the ads play for you guys and a couple of others. I told my husband to do that with the channels he watches. He didn't know that would help. I wouldn't have thought about it if you guys hadn't said that.
My former father in law, from England, said "queue" in the post office and I was the only one who knew what he meant. Which was disturbing since we do use the word. I think. Just me...? 😂😂😂
Ok, American here, two things, growing up we always had a Sunday dinner just as you described. I believe the younger generation does not do this anymore. The second thing I kinda laugh at, is you say homely, which, I have always known it to mean ugly. We say homey to your homely. Lol.
My family still tends to have Sunday Dinner, but we eat it at about 2:00. That is when we tend to have roasts, etc.
When I was a child we always had Sunday dinners at my grandparent's house. Sadly that tradition really died out the last 30 years or so.
I think the fact that a lot more people work on sundays has ruined the sunday roast
Great video and a beautiful background.
