The reason for our obscure weather patterns is our location, we are at the same latitude as Canada, Denmark, Sweden, and Finland, so we should be much colder but because we have a warm water current surrounding our island ( The Gulf Stream) our weather is all fucked up. If the Gulf Stream stopped we could be a sking capital and have months of snow yearly. Instead, we get four seasons in an average day. It can be pleasantly warm in the morning, dull and cloudy a couple of hours later, almost freezing in the evenings, and bucketing down with rain. To be honest this could happen in a couple of hours sometimes.
Our taxes are deducted directly from our salary via PAYE (pay as you earn ).Unlike in America where the individual has to submit their tax return each year. America is so far behind the times with basic every day things.
PAYE is just a way for the state to get your money early - and for the employed to miss out on tax refunds by not realising they can claim for things like cleaning.
UK Drinking Laws You can be stopped, fined or arrested by police if you’re under 18 and drinking alcohol in public. If you’re under 18, it’s against the law: - for someone to sell you alcohol -to buy or try to buy alcohol -for an adult to buy or try to buy alcohol for you -to drink alcohol in licensed premises (such as a pub or restaurant) However, if you’re 16 or 17 and accompanied by an adult, you can drink (but not buy) beer, wine or cider with a meal. If you’re 16 or under, you may be able to go to a pub (or premises primarily used to sell alcohol) if you’re accompanied by an adult. However, this isn’t always the case. It can also depend on the specific conditions for that premises. It’s illegal to give alcohol to children under 5.
I live in Devon - our streets are clean. Train fares can be reasonable if you can plan well in advance. Regarding the weather - the UK is an island stuck between two huge seas, the Atlantic ocean and the North sea.
The streets aren't dirty where I live. We have groups of volunteers who go around picking up litter. There are many litter bins around as well as poo bins near the park which are used.

DVLA & MMRC you can also access on line. Most employers employ someone to calculate the wages and taxes, and tax is deducted from your wages at source, before you even get them, so you don't need to worry about it. But you do get a payslip that gives you all the details of what you've been paid and what's been stopped and how much tax you've paid for that financial year.
No.1. All vehicles on the roads must have a current MOT (minister of transport ) certificate. This is proof that your vehicle is safe and roadworthy. If not, it is not allowed to be driven.
DVLA has one main administrative base in Swansea in Wales that deals with the issuing of licenses and all paperwork. To register cars and drivers with the DVLA is done mainly online or by phone.
When my girlfriend went to America to attend her brother's wedding, she, he and his fiancée travelled right across from east to west by train and greyhound. This was about 1979. They did that because the brother couldn't drive and nor could the fiancée. (My girlfriend could but that wouldn't have been fair.) An American who couldn't drive! It's the parents wearing pyjamas, not the kids. Mind you I have never seen that and I think it's a bit of an urban myth. Certainly they don't do it round here. Trains are expensive if you don't plan. Plan ahead and you can get cheaper tickets. But I guess that doesn't help the tourist. There has been a marked decline in public pride in clean streets during my lifetime. Motorway verges are strewn with rubbish, wrappers are chucked on the floor, remains of takeaways can make some places obstacle courses. Councils don't clean the streets and they don't clear the drains, and then get surprised when it floods. Britain is in the path of the gulf stream. Mild, wet winds that dump their rain over the west and made the east gloomy. Like today, for example (21stOctober) : iy hasn't rained, it isn't cold, but it has never really got light. "Government services that run effectively online or over the phone." Right. Oh, we definitely do hear about homelessness in the US. This has been a big change since I was a child - you never saw anyone begging on the street when I was young. The Hyde Park tree thing was a joke. Whoosh!
The guy in the toilets selling perfume is actually there to make sure people aren't doing drugs or vomiting in the toilets and let the bouncers know when it happens. The perfume is so it funds itself.
Over the last few years, from the "financial crisis" (which one? we ask ourselves) the Government has cut local authorities' money. This has led to cuts in public services, and here street cleaning has been cut back. My street has weeds growing around houses, pavements and road curbs and overgrown trees and hedges that homeowners, who have been used to the council doing it for them, haven't taken ownership of. From Yorkshire
The guy in the pub selling perfume in the toilets, would have stolen them from a store. In my local area, there are the same men and women who regularly go around pubs selling the stuff they've stolen. Perfume, alcohol, clothing, fresh meat, or whatever. They sell them on to make money to buy illegal drugs. Selling them in the toilets away from the bar area, means they can't be seen by pub staff. I have actually seen pub managers buying stuff from them, knowing full well they've been stolen.
Re the trivialising if beer consumption... 6 pints (3.5 litres) after work on a normal Friday night or a weekend is not unusual and no-one would talk about them in the slightest. That would normally be accompanied with shots and shorts too, depending on how the night goes.
Thats right Tyler we get up at 7am and go to the pub to start consuming leeters of beer which we measure in pints until l around 11pm. When we stop drinking and stumble home on our dirty streets to our small house and sleep until next morning when we repeat thats We don't care about groceries as we are always drunk and angry from all the beer
I'm in the older generation at 65 and I love that you can deal with taxes etc on the HMRC App and also driving / DVLA stuff on my phone. And the NHS App is getting close to being fully operational.
Tyler, it's the mother's of children dropping the kids off at school wearing pyjamas (I haven't seen the childrens father's in pyjamas) Also women go shopping in pyjamas (again never seen men do it) Ive seen a few women shopping in tesco not only wearing pyjamas but the full works - pyjamas, robe and slippers.
I wouldn't say that groceries are "cheap" here, but plants/animals that are able to be grown/raised in the UK are probably cheaper than many places in the US due to transport/shipping. Here in the UK we have an abundance of farmland basically everywhere you go. If you are not in a large city, you are pretty much always less than a 5 minute drive to fields where crops are grown/animals are grazing. 72.8% of the UKs overall landmass is farmland, so goods have far less distance to travel, and less fuel is required to get them to processing/retail. Only 39% of all US land is used for farming, and there are entire regions that are not suitable for producing certain popular foods. Depending on where a US citizen lives, their vegetables could have travelled hundreds of miles before actually ending up in a store, so the price is likely to be hiked up.
Trains - if you need to go somewhere long distance at short notice the pricing is horrific. Otherwise it's not that bad. The weather is because we are a small island in the middle of multiple seas and oceans so the wind comes off them, meets in the middle and forms lots of clouds. That's combined with us being near the boundary of cold polar air and warm tropical air.
Please do not ask Tyler any questions or pass on any information to him because he never reads, answers or even acknowledges that he has received any comments ever. So please do not expect any replies from him at all.
He actually does.... Or maybe his brother does... But they will get rid of certain comments. I've had him delete certain comments that I've made. Their whole thing is just to make money in the short term. They don't care. They just are making money off the short term comments etc.... It is weird that they don't care about building a community of base like other reaction channels do. I would think that they would realize that they could make more money by actually building a base.. but they seem to just want to get a few bucks with doing the least amount of work possible.

yes I have noticed Groceries are cheaper than the US. Yes HMRC and DVLA are all fully functional for voice calling and online. as for Alcohol yeah when they go to the pub they tend to drink beer by the pint and on average 6 pints is realistic. In the rural areas public transport is rubbish where I live in the UK we only have buses and half the time they are late or don't turn up so we need a car too. parents are the ones wearing PJ's not the kids. people drop litter no matter where you go. the we have an armed police unit but most police don't carry guns. Yeah we get a lot of rain in certain areas, basically the counties surrounding London tend to be dry but every where else we get rain especially in the southwest. Well driving standards have dropped considerably in the last few years but yes compared to the US they are higher. Medications are cheaper than most of Europe. All Government online service have apps that work well here. as For Drinking and Social gatherings thing well that is codswollup. LGBTQ rights are high here. homelessness is on the rise in the UK.Hahaha yep You alright? is pretty unique to the UK. Guy Fawkes the Gun powder Plot to blow up the Houses of parliament
Groceries are not cheap here in the UK. But having said that, we don't know where this person is from originally. Our groceries could be cheaper compared to their original country. And btw, I dropped my son of at school just this morning wearing my pyjamas. They're nice and toasty, and fleecy, and I don't care as long as I'm warm
The streets are not dirty. I go to London regularly to visit my daughter & I'm always impressed by how clean the streets and the tube are. My local town and villages are all clean too. I wish people would stop talking Britain down. I've lived here for 65 years and Britain may be having a few wobbles, like lots of countries around the world, but we're still moored securely just off Europe and we are not sinking!! I've got kids & grandkids and I want things to improve for them, just as so many things have improved over my lifetime.
Alas, Groceries are definitely not cheap in the UK now, we have shrinkflation - where everything is getting smaller, and 3 times the price 😢- I've lived here all my life. Agree with the drinking culture though.. 15 pints on a Saturday night wouldn't be seen as strange 😂 Its thought to go back to the olden days where only beer was available and people were in battle all the time. Some of this other stuff is off though, I think it depends on the area/city. Fun to watch though 😊
A pint is just over half a litre and you know how weak most of our beers are. As a hard liver (in both senses) I'm not at all amazed by drinking a few litres of a night. And I'm not a beer man - (sing along now:) I am a cider drinker, it soothes all me troubles away.
Comment of not drinking alcohol is completely untrue. There's numerous alcohol free and soft drinks even tea or coffee served in pubs. Loads of social interaction. Where did you get these people? Most of this info is BS
How many times do you get things wrong,you know about guns in the in the UK about the price of food,most Things you already have watched.put another new video up don't use thing you have you should already know,will no longer watch your videos.
14:27 I hear ya. You'd swerve to miss them, but THEY'LL look at you like you're crazy. They jumped out without a signal in front of you and it's your fault some how.
Groceries are not cheap they are amongst the most expensive in Europe, large consumption of alcohol is extremely normal. If you live anywhere other than a major city then a car is essential, public transport is useless, unclean and never runs to any schedule with frequent cancellations, that is when they are not on strike for more money. I’m surprised at the poor driving you mention in the US I’ve driven in Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado and Texas without any issues.
Hi: banal the word is pronounced Banarl meaning not special or seen every day almost boring, so drinking 2 litres of beer that’s just over 4 pints sorry 4 uk imperial pints (UK imperial pints is more than the US pints) I know, I know no one likes a smart arse!! Cheers Aah Kid!
NO ! We are NOT cheap in the UK for groceries - Its America that's SO EXPENSIVE... Whenever I go to the US, I get shocked by the price of food (especially) and then you realise why SO MANY PEOPLE eat at diners or have food delivered in America. Everything seems to cost MORE (and not just by a 'little' more, but by a LOT more). 🤔 I also HATE (but have to accept) the TIPPING CULTURE... I just pray we don't get the same way here in the UK, yet I see it 'slowly' creeping in and I really don't like it, The same as the SUE-ANYONE for ANYTHING CULTURE... Which again, you now hear ads on TV / Radio for "did you get mis-diagnosed? Have you been let down by... BLAH BLAH BLAH 😐😐😐
I follow many UA-camrs all over the UK and they drive around and visit lots of towns and the streets always look clean and tidy. I think some visitors are just jealous and like to complain and put England down.
You've said several times that saying al'right' or ya'al'right as a greeting in the US would not be accepted. Yet y'all say What's up. Which is kinda the same thing.
Groceries might be cheaper compared to America but the still arent cheap, for us Brits, the cost just keeps rising and the government doesnt care as long as they get payed for it
You say "litres" like Brits say "leaders". Also, groceries being so cheap in the UK is really strange because it's an island which imports most of its food. You'd have thought after Brexit the prices would at least be the same as Europe, but no...the UK is still quite a lot cheaper. I did some research as to why this could be and the consensus seems to be that UK supermarkets are unusually competitive, meaning consumers are so adverse to price rises that grocery stores are shy of raising prices unless they can't help it.
Your taxes being calculated for you... For most people, employees basically, not sole traders or freelancers the tax system is the opposite of the US. They already know how much you earned and how much tax is payable, so your employer pays the government your tax directly. None of that "calculate it yourself and if you make a mistake that's a crime, and we know what you owe but won't tell you" nonsense. You only need to file taxes if your money comes from investments or freelance work.
I think Tyler has a short memory as I saw another of his videos (an older one) where it mentions how cheaper groceries are the U.K. are compared to the U S. Of course people of the U.K are aware there's homeless people. It's a huge problem that Prince Wiliam is trying to end.
In Autumn the leaves fall off the trees. Hyde Park is beautifully green. Trains are inexpensive if you have a railcard and book 2 months in advance. Sometimes near the day. Trains are not expensive.
Whoever this person is he is not describing the UK I have lived in for 60 years. Food prices can range in price widely depending on which supermarket you purchase the food in. We do not do our income tax ourselves, it is automatically deducted from our earnings monthly. The drinking culture is depending on the person doing the consuming of alcohol. We drink our beer and lager in pints not litres. I have yet to see a pharmacy/chemist that sells alcohol as they do not sell anything alcoholic at all. They do not sell perfume/scent in toilets. It is the parents wearing the pyjamas not the children. Our streets are NOT dirty at all. The British police do not carry guns as we do not live in a gun cultured country. The Police in the UK are very friendly and approachable. We do get some loverly hot sumners and winters that are cold but sometimes can be quite mild. Prescriptions are free in Scotland Wales and Northern Ireland but you have to pay in England for any prescriptions. You can go to a pub and not drink. They do sell soft non alcoholic drinks. We have both evergreen and deciduous trees in the UK.
It depends where the person comes from, everything is relative. I'm from Central-Europe: England is dirty, food is / used to be cheap, drivers are polite, trains are expensive and unreliable, over the counter medicine is cheap.
Tyler where do you live ?, do you ever leave your City /Towns . I’ve travelled all over the Us and used a mixture of Amtrak trains and Greyhound Buses all the time , I’m puzzled no problems a great service 🤔🤷♀️
Haha I wish groceries were cheap 😂 but the guy did say 7 years ago. Yeah they were 7 years ago but within the past 4 years...its either heat or eat. That's how much things have gone up. Energy and food!!

The pyjama sets are referring to the parents still wearing them to drop off the kids at school. Not the kids wearing pyjamas to school lol

Our street’s are clean where I live.
I thought Tyler did a video reaction about British Schools and kids wearing uniforms.
He did... And one on Boarding schools...
The comment about pajams means that the parent is wearing them not the child.
Pyjamas! 🤦
DVLA & MMRC you can also access on line. Most employers employ someone to calculate the wages and taxes, and tax is deducted from your wages at source, before you even get them, so you don't need to worry about it. But you do get a payslip that gives you all the details of what you've been paid and what's been stopped and how much tax you've paid for that financial year.
MMRC? *HMRC surely?
No.1. All vehicles on the roads must have a current MOT (minister of transport ) certificate. This is proof that your vehicle is safe and roadworthy. If not, it is not allowed to be driven.
DVLA has one main administrative base in Swansea in Wales that deals with the issuing of licenses and all paperwork.
To register cars and drivers with the DVLA is done mainly online or by phone.
When my girlfriend went to America to attend her brother's wedding, she, he and his fiancée travelled right across from east to west by train and greyhound. This was about 1979. They did that because the brother couldn't drive and nor could the fiancée. (My girlfriend could but that wouldn't have been fair.) An American who couldn't drive!
It's the parents wearing pyjamas, not the kids. Mind you I have never seen that and I think it's a bit of an urban myth. Certainly they don't do it round here.
Trains are expensive if you don't plan. Plan ahead and you can get cheaper tickets. But I guess that doesn't help the tourist.
There has been a marked decline in public pride in clean streets during my lifetime. Motorway verges are strewn with rubbish, wrappers are chucked on the floor, remains of takeaways can make some places obstacle courses. Councils don't clean the streets and they don't clear the drains, and then get surprised when it floods.
Britain is in the path of the gulf stream. Mild, wet winds that dump their rain over the west and made the east gloomy. Like today, for example (21stOctober) : iy hasn't rained, it isn't cold, but it has never really got light.
"Government services that run effectively online or over the phone." Right.
Oh, we definitely do hear about homelessness in the US. This has been a big change since I was a child - you never saw anyone begging on the street when I was young.
The Hyde Park tree thing was a joke. Whoosh!
The guy in the toilets selling perfume is actually there to make sure people aren't doing drugs or vomiting in the toilets and let the bouncers know when it happens. The perfume is so it funds itself.
Over the last few years, from the "financial crisis" (which one? we ask ourselves) the Government has cut local authorities' money. This has led to cuts in public services, and here street cleaning has been cut back. My street has weeds growing around houses, pavements and road curbs and overgrown trees and hedges that homeowners, who have been used to the council doing it for them, haven't taken ownership of. From Yorkshire
In Italy you can drink at age 14.
In the UK you can drink at age 5
In the UK babies are born with a glass of Martini in hand and the midwifes are ready and waiting with a cocktail stick and an olive to put in it.
OMG ! Why am I suprised Tyler completely misunderstood and thought it was the kids that were the ones clad in pyjamas and not the parents? 🤣
The guy in the pub selling perfume in the toilets, would have stolen them from a store. In my local area, there are the same men and women who regularly go around pubs selling the stuff they've stolen. Perfume, alcohol, clothing, fresh meat, or whatever. They sell them on to make money to buy illegal drugs. Selling them in the toilets away from the bar area, means they can't be seen by pub staff. I have actually seen pub managers buying stuff from them, knowing full well they've been stolen.
Lots of mums drop kids to school or go to local shops in pyjamas, we don't send the kids to school in pj's lol I've done it
Weather in UK is mostly due to the Atlantic conveyor belt, UK weather comes from what happens in the gulf of Mexico and the Gulf Stream.
The average person will drink around 5-7 pints on a quiet trip to the pub, on a night out, it could be easily around 20 pints or equivalent alcohol.
Re the trivialising if beer consumption... 6 pints (3.5 litres) after work on a normal Friday night or a weekend is not unusual and no-one would talk about them in the slightest. That would normally be accompanied with shots and shorts too, depending on how the night goes.
The trees and aren't dead in hyde park, November is the autumn or fall as you call it,there is a hint for you.
Thats right Tyler we get up at 7am and go to the pub to start consuming leeters of beer which we measure in pints until l around 11pm. When we stop drinking and stumble home on our dirty streets to our small house and sleep until next morning when we repeat thats We don't care about groceries as we are always drunk and angry from all the beer
I'm in the older generation at 65 and I love that you can deal with taxes etc on the HMRC App and also driving / DVLA stuff on my phone. And the NHS App is getting close to being fully operational.
As for the drinking culture just got home from the pub only managed 8 pints in 70 used to be a drinker
Tyler, it's the mother's of children dropping the kids off at school wearing pyjamas (I haven't seen the childrens father's in pyjamas)
Also women go shopping in pyjamas (again never seen men do it)
Ive seen a few women shopping in tesco not only wearing pyjamas but the full works - pyjamas, robe and slippers.
I wouldn't say that groceries are "cheap" here, but plants/animals that are able to be grown/raised in the UK are probably cheaper than many places in the US due to transport/shipping. Here in the UK we have an abundance of farmland basically everywhere you go. If you are not in a large city, you are pretty much always less than a 5 minute drive to fields where crops are grown/animals are grazing. 72.8% of the UKs overall landmass is farmland, so goods have far less distance to travel, and less fuel is required to get them to processing/retail.
Only 39% of all US land is used for farming, and there are entire regions that are not suitable for producing certain popular foods. Depending on where a US citizen lives, their vegetables could have travelled hundreds of miles before actually ending up in a store, so the price is likely to be hiked up.
Trains - if you need to go somewhere long distance at short notice the pricing is horrific. Otherwise it's not that bad.
The weather is because we are a small island in the middle of multiple seas and oceans so the wind comes off them, meets in the middle and forms lots of clouds. That's combined with us being near the boundary of cold polar air and warm tropical air.
Please do not ask Tyler any questions or pass on any information to him because he never reads, answers or even acknowledges that he has received any comments ever. So please do not expect any replies from him at all.
Easy to write 1 moronic comment isn't it? but not so easy to read 150 each time ,I don't blame him ,he is too busy taking your money
He actually does.... Or maybe his brother does... But they will get rid of certain comments. I've had him delete certain comments that I've made. Their whole thing is just to make money in the short term. They don't care. They just are making money off the short term comments etc....
It is weird that they don't care about building a community of base like other reaction channels do. I would think that they would realize that they could make more money by actually building a base.. but they seem to just want to get a few bucks with doing the least amount of work possible.
@@keefsmiff No one expects him to read them all but many other hosts who maintain several channels seem equipped to do this (reading comments is evident in things they say & videos they watch based on recommendations).. The only difference is that they care about their viewers while making $.
here in the uk we drink gallons of beer and lager
HOW MANY TIMES IS HE GOING TO BE " SURPRISED AND SHOCKED " AT THE SAME THINGS EVERY VIDEO !!??
Our taxes are taken straight from our wages, unless you are self employed. It's called P.A.Y.E. Pay As You Earn.
It's the PARENTS that are wearing the pyjamas NOT the kids !!
Our good driving standards are all down to the amount of time and money you need to spend to get your licence in the UK. In the USA you just drive round a parking lot a couple of times and are given your licence.
We DON'T burn the Pope. We burn Guy Fawkes !!
A " storm in a tea cup " means it's NOT very important, and not worth talking about !
One of the biggest firework festivals in the country DOES burn the Pope. Just cos you don't know it doesn't mean you are correct,im embarrassed for you.
As long as he still makes money....
Then he repeats the 'surprise and shock' all over again on his Canadian channel..
Doing the taxes in Sweden we do it on line Takes about a minute
A minute at most.😁
Most English people don't need to 'do their taxes', PAYE takes care of it.
@@stephenlee5929 PAYE ? You are talking to an international audience, avoid national acronyms.
yes I have noticed Groceries are cheaper than the US. Yes HMRC and DVLA are all fully functional for voice calling and online. as for Alcohol yeah when they go to the pub they tend to drink beer by the pint and on average 6 pints is realistic. In the rural areas public transport is rubbish where I live in the UK we only have buses and half the time they are late or don't turn up so we need a car too. parents are the ones wearing PJ's not the kids. people drop litter no matter where you go. the we have an armed police unit but most police don't carry guns. Yeah we get a lot of rain in certain areas, basically the counties surrounding London tend to be dry but every where else we get rain especially in the southwest. Well driving standards have dropped considerably in the last few years but yes compared to the US they are higher. Medications are cheaper than most of Europe. All Government online service have apps that work well here. as For Drinking and Social gatherings thing well that is codswollup. LGBTQ rights are high here. homelessness is on the rise in the UK.Hahaha yep You alright? is pretty unique to the UK. Guy Fawkes the Gun powder Plot to blow up the Houses of parliament
Trains are not that expensive.
You CAN phone HMRC & DVLA if you don't mind call waiting for hours! I wouldn't recommend it. Do it online.
Groceries are not cheap here in the UK. But having said that, we don't know where this person is from originally. Our groceries could be cheaper compared to their original country. And btw, I dropped my son of at school just this morning wearing my pyjamas. They're nice and toasty, and fleecy, and I don't care as long as I'm warm
The streets may as well be gum at this point
We don't buy Beer in Ltrs, its pints. I don't know anyone who goes out to have just a couple of drinks.
weather, two words gulf stream. warm moist air brought from south west collides with cold air over UK.
The pubs start serving alcohol at 9 in the morning and people are already waiting to start drinking! I could never.
Britsih Police don't carry guns, however Northern Irelands PSNI do carry guns and is a part of the UK not Britain.
The UK is on the same latitude as Hudson Bay Canada, if it was not for the Gulf stream we would be frozen solid for most of the year.
The streets are not dirty. I go to London regularly to visit my daughter & I'm always impressed by how clean the streets and the tube are. My local town and villages are all clean too.
I wish people would stop talking Britain down. I've lived here for 65 years and Britain may be having a few wobbles, like lots of countries around the world, but we're still moored securely just off Europe and we are not sinking!! I've got kids & grandkids and I want things to improve for them, just as so many things have improved over my lifetime.
Alas, Groceries are definitely not cheap in the UK now, we have shrinkflation - where everything is getting smaller, and 3 times the price 😢- I've lived here all my life. Agree with the drinking culture though.. 15 pints on a Saturday night wouldn't be seen as strange 😂 Its thought to go back to the olden days where only beer was available and people were in battle all the time. Some of this other stuff is off though, I think it depends on the area/city. Fun to watch though 😊
Everything is cheaper in Europe, and better quality. I haven't done taxes in 10 years, it's done automatically
Our weather is only dull and grey in comparison to a Mediterranean island.
A pint is just over half a litre and you know how weak most of our beers are. As a hard liver (in both senses) I'm not at all amazed by drinking a few litres of a night. And I'm not a beer man - (sing along now:) I am a cider drinker, it soothes all me troubles away.
litres off beer dont they mean gallons normally drink 2 gallons of beer once a mounth
hey 4 pints is basically 2 litres. and 4 pints is not many for night out
Comment of not drinking alcohol is completely untrue. There's numerous alcohol free and soft drinks even tea or coffee served in pubs.
Loads of social interaction. Where did you get these people? Most of this info is BS
How many times do you get things wrong,you know about guns in the in the UK about the price of food,most
Things you already have watched.put another new video up don't use thing you have you should already know,will no longer watch your videos.
Bye, whiners not required.
Normally/usually any goods of vital importance are not subject to speculation...
11:58 i think it's also that we are not obsessed with "our rights"
if you use the trains in off peak times, its ok..but privatization made it more expensive than it should be
14:27 I hear ya. You'd swerve to miss them, but THEY'LL look at you like you're crazy. They jumped out without a signal in front of you and it's your fault some how.
Groceries are not cheap they are amongst the most expensive in Europe, large consumption of alcohol is extremely normal. If you live anywhere other than a major city then a car is essential, public transport is useless, unclean and never runs to any schedule with frequent cancellations, that is when they are not on strike for more money. I’m surprised at the poor driving you mention in the US I’ve driven in Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado and Texas without any issues.
These days I can deal with HMRC and DVLC online from Japan!
Tyler you should look in to the UK driving test
You try getting by on such a damp grey island without litres of beer 😆
Hi: banal the word is pronounced Banarl meaning not special or seen every day almost boring, so drinking 2 litres of beer that’s just over 4 pints sorry 4 uk imperial pints (UK imperial pints is more than the US pints)
I know, I know no one likes a smart arse!!
Cheers Aah Kid!
NO ! We are NOT cheap in the UK for groceries - Its America that's SO EXPENSIVE... Whenever I go to the US, I get shocked by the price of food (especially) and then you realise why SO MANY PEOPLE eat at diners or have food delivered in America. Everything seems to cost MORE (and not just by a 'little' more, but by a LOT more). 🤔 I also HATE (but have to accept) the TIPPING CULTURE... I just pray we don't get the same way here in the UK, yet I see it 'slowly' creeping in and I really don't like it, The same as the SUE-ANYONE for ANYTHING CULTURE... Which again, you now hear ads on TV / Radio for "did you get mis-diagnosed? Have you been let down by... BLAH BLAH BLAH 😐😐😐
Have you watched Rumple of the Bailey?
I follow many UA-camrs all over the UK and they drive around and visit lots of towns and the streets always look clean and tidy. I think some visitors are just jealous and like to complain and put England down.
You've said several times that saying al'right' or ya'al'right as a greeting in the US would not be accepted. Yet y'all say What's up. Which is kinda the same thing.
Groceries might be cheaper compared to America but the still arent cheap, for us Brits, the cost just keeps rising and the government doesnt care as long as they get payed for it
There's no such thing as bad weather, only the wrong clothes. LOL
You say "litres" like Brits say "leaders". Also, groceries being so cheap in the UK is really strange because it's an island which imports most of its food. You'd have thought after Brexit the prices would at least be the same as Europe, but no...the UK is still quite a lot cheaper. I did some research as to why this could be and the consensus seems to be that UK supermarkets are unusually competitive, meaning consumers are so adverse to price rises that grocery stores are shy of raising prices unless they can't help it.
the VAT is lower on food that in other European countries
Your taxes being calculated for you... For most people, employees basically, not sole traders or freelancers the tax system is the opposite of the US. They already know how much you earned and how much tax is payable, so your employer pays the government your tax directly. None of that "calculate it yourself and if you make a mistake that's a crime, and we know what you owe but won't tell you" nonsense. You only need to file taxes if your money comes from investments or freelance work.
I think Tyler has a short memory as I saw another of his videos (an older one) where it mentions how cheaper groceries are the U.K. are compared to the U S. Of course people of the U.K are aware there's homeless people. It's a huge problem that Prince Wiliam is trying to end.
In Autumn the leaves fall off the trees. Hyde Park is beautifully green. Trains are inexpensive if you have a railcard and book 2 months in advance. Sometimes near the day. Trains are not expensive.
I'm guessing they were from somewhere with conifer type trees.
I knew people who drank 7 or 8 litres of beer a day, everyday.
Whoever this person is he is not describing the UK I have lived in for 60 years.
Food prices can range in price widely depending on which supermarket you purchase the food in.
We do not do our income tax ourselves, it is automatically deducted from our earnings monthly.
The drinking culture is depending on the person doing the consuming of alcohol. We drink our beer and lager in pints not litres.
I have yet to see a pharmacy/chemist that sells alcohol as they do not sell anything alcoholic at all.
They do not sell perfume/scent in toilets.
It is the parents wearing the pyjamas not the children.
Our streets are NOT dirty at all.
The British police do not carry guns as we do not live in a gun cultured country. The Police in the UK are very friendly and approachable.
We do get some loverly hot sumners and winters that are cold but sometimes can be quite mild.
Prescriptions are free in Scotland Wales and Northern Ireland but you have to pay in England for any prescriptions.
You can go to a pub and not drink. They do sell soft non alcoholic drinks.
We have both evergreen and deciduous trees in the UK.
It depends where the person comes from, everything is relative. I'm from Central-Europe: England is dirty, food is / used to be cheap, drivers are polite, trains are expensive and unreliable, over the counter medicine is cheap.
You can do your taxes on line and dvla stuff on line as well it’s your choice.
Americans think they drink a lot when they have 4 beers (bottles) it’s not uncommon to have 2 “pints” with a pub lunch
Tyler where do you live ?, do you ever leave your City /Towns . I’ve travelled all over the Us and used a mixture of Amtrak trains and Greyhound Buses all the time , I’m puzzled no problems a great service 🤔🤷♀️
Haha I wish groceries were cheap 😂 but the guy did say 7 years ago. Yeah they were 7 years ago but within the past 4 years...its either heat or eat. That's how much things have gone up. Energy and food!!
I drink roughly 4 litres a night 😶
Is it me or does he sound like Ned Flanders
Its usually the "chavy" moms that wear pyjamas, the kids wrar uniforms
