      @@iracture I come to think that the British in America and on the Island thinned out their bread and thats how Toast was born. I assume that the English had the same type of bread befrore (similar). If you thin out the dough you make more bread, thus more pounds (Kg's & $'s). In times of inflation or when grain is expensive or when not enough grain is available thinning out the dough could have a counter effect on missing nutrition.
      I once read a poem (song) of German Americans on the east coast of the USA speaking of this thinned out bread. I keep looking for it but cant find it anymore.

      ​@hmvollbanane1259 The houses built in the 50s and 60s in the UK are palatial by comparison with new builds. Same number of rooms but bigger rooms so they are multi purpose. Houses built then were similarly sized.
      I've been down cul-de-sacs with new builds on and the further you get from the main road the bigger the houses so they have four or more bedrooms with two garages.
      The Victorian villas were the biggest often with three or four floors to house servants as well and stables at the back. Nobody could afford to buy one of those houses so they get turned into flats or used for business purposes with a flat upstairs.

      Haha, they did not really won the war. There ist no document that shows that the Allies won the war. We made a suggestion to lay down the weapons and they killed more Germans after the war then during the war against approx. the whole world. Actually the war would have been over for the Britons already in 1940 at Dunkirk, when Hitler decided not to kill the rest of your army and let them flee to help their british wifes in the kitchen ;-)
      We would have won the war even if our own dishonorable people (our current government, which, by the way, is in office illegally and serves the enemy, is made up of the worst traitors the world has ever seen) had not committed excessive sabotage and treachery against us. Why do so many files still remain closed to the world public? Who benefits from it? Censorship only serves the liar and cheater. And what does it look like today in the multicultural countries of our enemies, who have not yet noticed that we are in the same boat and are being played off against each other by those who control the money and the media worldwide?
      It is time for the Germans to finally get a peace treaty after more than 100 years so that the old war and trade treaties can be dissolved, which to this day have disastrous consequences for the freedom of the former states, which are now just companies that are easier to get are expropriated.

      My grandmother was Polish she was held prison at the work camp in Osnabruck during WWII and my dad was born there. They came to England with my grandad as refugees later. My Polish grandparents never spoke badly about Russians or Germans. Maybe because I was young, I was 12 & then 19 when they died, but part of me thinks it was because they'd lived through what hate can do and didn't want to spread anymore hatred. I don't hold anything against either nation, even after discovering the horrors my family/ancestors went through, even with the current Ukraine situation. I know the vast majority of regular people from all countries want peace for themselves and with each other. One Love.

It was a revelation to me & I was hooked! I ‘m a bit of a British outlier in that I really don’t like normal English tea, I can only really handle earl grey tea, definitely without milk too. I’m the only one in my family that’s like this, (the ubiquitous black sheep). The bread thing is also another area where I much prefer the continental rye breads & I thank god for the current craze on sourdough breads in the uk. I love the German/Austrian/Swiss/Scandinavian style meals, especially the breakfasts. So delicious & generally healthier. It would have been even funnier if the skit had of included the classic British thing of a thermos flask of hot tea whilst picnicking, or when having a pit stop on the side of the road on a long car journey or a day out. 😂

    As chilean 🇨🇱 I can relate to both regarding tea. I do like my english brakfast tea with milk, but also have a collection of different types of tea 😂🍵☕

    Russians obsessed with tea some-time at the same levels as British people. So I completely understand this British guy. And I also can drink one kind of tea for months. Only one thing shocked me here. Why British guy use tea bags and not actual long-leaf tea

      I do not agree about drinking one kind of a tee, but totally agree about tea bags, if you going to drink just plain black tee you should at least make it the right way, and tea bags isn't the right way.

      Why didn't he make up a flask of tea in advance? Or bring a metal tea pot with him?

      What Russians do to tea in British terms is a sacrilege. Since drinking the same black tea for 2 days or more is completely off putting for any self respecting British tea lover.

      @lemsip207 I think that's a joke in the video because British people who need to drink tea outside without buying tea normally drink straight from the flask.

    To be honest, while I am german, I enjoy an Ale much more than most of our beer. This is not because of the taste, but because of the simple fact that Ales are not as overloaded with carbonic acid. I want to taste the bear, not have my mouth assaulted with bubbles, dammit XD
