How is skipping a queue a "Petty thing"? It's just cheating everyone who was there before you, the arrogance is ridiculous! You're just literally stating "I am more important than any of you" to everyone else.
Well, that's your cultural blinkers on - can't see any other point and won't see. In some places to get ahead of other people is admired and not fighting for the best for yourself is looked on as a disgusting weakness. If you were in such a place you'd find it very very difficult not to follow the norm because nobody else would understand your behavior.
If other people don't expect queuing then there's no serious problem. Arseholes are people who violate what everyone expects i.e. when in Rome, do as the Romans do.
TH3 _eXoDuS_ i said england/the uk because people can either assume the rest of england is like london, or the rest of the uk is like london. i'm english but i don't think i need someone on the internet to tell me how good of an english person i am lmao
Yep I have noticed on my trips outside of London town that no one else in the country gives a shit about standing on the right, they just stand wherever they want and get pissy at me for trying to pass them!
It more as nearly everyone speaks with a different accent. At my school (In Bristol) no one sounds like on another in accent wise and almost all of us are born raised Bristolians
Yep, bugs me, British anything on the main island of Britain from Lands End to John O Groats. Americans mean London English, either RP or cockerniney, when they mean British English. I bet if they heard broad Cornish, Geordie or Aberdonian, they wouldn't recognise it as British!
@Kernow Forester: I hear ya but we don't always know what region an accent is from (especially if we're talking other nations) so in those cases its easier to generalise. When I went to Cali years back, people said that to us a few times but it didn't bother us, we appreciated the compliment. I've heard plenty of North American accents that I can't pinpoint to a State or region so I just say "American" for ease of conversation.

One of the most of important rule is to never stop to a person wearing a tracksuit asking for the time or “what kind of phone is that?” Youll get robbed.
You're advising them not to rent a car because the UK drives on the left? Is like.......driving on the other side of the road too complex a mental challenge?
As a British citizen I can assure you that most of that was kinda wrong! Don't talk about Brexit. Not because of offending anyone but rather to avoid a long rant about them being either a Remainer or a Brexiteer. Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales are not separate countries. Rather they are nations as they do not have a fully devolved government. Finally its you who drive on the wrong side of the road.
*I went to the UK a year ago, and I still remember the lady next to me saying I shouldn’t put the milk in first to my tea (which I was doing oops. Then she showed me how to make it properly:)*
When I make tea I put the tea bag in then sugar let it brew a little bit like 2 mins and then pour the milk in stir again for a little bit and hey presto it's nice strong and tasty
Things to note if you ever visit the uk: - Never go into M&S or Waitrose unless you are middle class or above because everyone there will know you think it’s just a normal shop and stare at you like you just strangled a dog - Never confuse countries in the Uk because we will probably attack you and steal your new watch - If you say we drink so much tea I swear I will throw your coffee away - If you aren’t patient with things here and are rude, all the people around you will call you a stupid gint - If you say driving on the left side of the road is the ‘wrong’ way we will run you over with a bus - If you don’t say hello or good morning to the people you meet eyes with they will drag you through a hedge - Don’t mention Princess Diana in a disrespectful way or the entire world will mob you - If you say think we are posh you are wrong, if you met a real person from the UK they would probably rob you then say sorry because we say it too much - Don’t diss our weather, everyone says they hate it but they actually really love it - Don’t read things on Wikipedia about the UK it’s just a bunch of rubbish Hope this scared you and gave you nightmares about our country ;>
Don't call it driving on the "wrong side," of the road. No one will get angry but obviously, we do not consider it to be "wrong." The Royal Guards may seem to be a part of tourism because they are so famous and how they dress, but they are actual armed soldiers on duty protecting important people and building and also you. If there was a terrorist attack, for example, you would see that these are highly trained soldiers who would shoot dead whoever was causing the problem. It's obviously not safe to let you near their guns in case you try and take it off them.
Good point, royal guards are just doing their jobs to make a living, if someone distracts them and there was an attack, a person could lose their life because that guard couldn't help out

Nah people dont do that in America lol (well in some cases) here its usually called "cutting in line" some people will try to be slick if you're not paying attention though an sneak in front of you.

@@somerandomguy3807 just so you Americans are aware we DO cut lines in Britain.

We cut lines. Yr 9s 10 11 are wankers and DONT ATTEND AN ENGLISH SCHOOL WITH LINES FOR FOOD and keep doing what ever weird stuff you lot do when you come here. Unless its touch the guards...

Number 3 isn't an unwritten rule, it literally says it on a sign in your own video 'stand on the right'....and it's mainly London that it applies to, on the tube.
I think the number one thing to know is that the UK has way more to offer than just London. Most people I know can't stand London anyway, way too busy, way too expensive. Other than that, a little common sense will be all you need for a trip here :)

If you really want to know what the UK is like don't go to London. London is like a whole other country all by itself. You will pretty much find the rest of the world in London and as such it has a whole different way of life about it compared to the rest of the UK. I'm not suggesting it's a bad place, its just has a different way of living to the rest of us.
Wrong. London is just like any city it’s got its own quirks and culture, would you say don’t go to New York cause then you won’t be getting an American experience? Bugger off. If you visit London sure you won’t have experienced Britain but you’ll have experienced London which is a hell of a lot of fun if you don’t just be an ugly tourist and march about the place practically shouting about where you’ve been and where your going and how different it all is.
yes go to london if you want to meet all other nationalities, get in a taxi driven by a syrian, buy your food from an indian, get on a bus full of europeans driven by an arab to get to dinner at the turkish resturant. afterwards enjoy getting stabbed by a somalian then be operated on by a bangladeshi. dont expect the nurses to speak english either. tourists should not go to any major city if they want to meet english people and see 'england'. go to cornwall or yorkshire instead. beautiful places in the summer.
1. There isn’t such thing as a British accent, there are different countries together as the United Kingdom. Everybody from different places a lot of the time have complete different accents example- Scottish accents are nothing like Geordie accents and Geordie accents are nothing like “posher” accents. 2. If you are saying rules about visiting the uk, maybe actually get a british person to tell people that. It’s just know it all Americans that think they rule the world
It's understandable to get 'England' 'The United Kingdom' 'The British Isles' mixed up. Plenty of people here do it. However, if you even attempt THINKING about putting the milk in before the tea, you risk being put in the Tower of London and having your head cut off
Absolutely never. I am a Brit (English) and was on a training course in Beijing, my non-British colleague could not understand my look of absolute disgust when he put the milk in first. He tried to convince me it was 'milky tea'. I do hope they never find his body lol
Tea must be brewed before milk is added. If you are using a teapot, then milk goes into the cup before the tea. If you are not using a teapot then milk goes in last.
"How are you?" Is a American greeting, often used as a replacement for hello. British people are usually left confused in the US, when strangers in shops drop this one on them. It isn't used in the UK, unless we actually want to know how you are, so if we say " How are you? " it's a genuine question and we want you to tell us.
TommyHilarius the first competitive football league was invented in England, but not the sport itself..it was invented in Italy (Although Italians still call it football so yes it’s FOOTBALL)
@@actuallyash2438 No Italy created a game that inspired Football. Italy definitely helped in the creation but didn't invent it. The first official rules were in England 1863 and that's the football we all play
Same with me, I'm also from England and I didn't know this fact unless it's bullshit! I do find rushing in the escalator quite dangerous as you might end up falling down!
As far as I'm aware the escalator thing only counts on the London underground where it is so busy that they put up signs asking people to keep to one side. ,
Standing on the right on the escalators is not an UNwritten rule. The instructions are on the escalators. Walking up the escalators saves far more than 30 secs. And that time can miss you the train and cost you half an hour.
I'm not talking about getting the tube. I'm talking about getting a main line train after coming off the tube. They aren't 1-2 minutes are they. And it's London we're talking about.
@@ww2isjtc56 nope, British = English, Welsh and Scottish. Because they're all on the same island. UK includes Great Britain (England, Wales, Scotland) with Northern Ireland.
@@ww2isjtc56 I was talking about accents. A Scot and an Englishmen are still both British. British is not just English accents, it encompassing Welsh and Scottish ones too. He'd have been wrong if he had said that Scottish was an English accent. A British accent is any accent spoken on the island of Britain. Politically and nationality-wise Scotland is different than England, but is not different from Britain, both are British nationalities and British accents.
You correctly differentiated between the countries of the UK. However, you incorrectly differentiated between a British and a Scottish accent given that Scotland is actually a part of the UK. Plus, there is no British accent as regional accents vary widely. Even in Scotland there are different accents.
Speaking as a Briton, I can summarise this video with 'don't touch the trained soldiers guarding our head of state, don't talk about politics, call it the UK, don't be an arse.' Done. Is any of this that revolutionary?

Why do people physically walk up and down the escalators, aren't there any stairs for people to use on the underground?
+Sherbet Fountain so they can go faster...
+Sherbet Fountain and no in some parts there are no stairs
It's not "How ARE you?"
It is "How d'you do?"
And the correct answer is
"How d'you do?"
How are you for the masses, how do you do if you are posh.
I like how the first point was "Don't confuse the countries that make up the UK", but when talking about accents he said "British or Scottish accent". Like, what?

Wait wtf do Americans skip queues doesn't that defeat the purpose of queues?
they all want there to be a queue, just that they all want to be the first one in it
No. Well the ones that aren't recently from a foreign country respect queues. It is usually 2nd or 3rd generation people that respect queues
Yeah what's with that
I know an Englishman who skips queues, his name is Mr bean.
i was thinking that too!
"dont touch the guard" lol they just running out of ideas, i live in england and i can personally say dont worry about any of this lol, just be polite to people and dont talk to strangers xD

As a British citizen I can assure you that most of that was kinda wrong! Don't talk about Brexit. Not because of offending anyone but rather to avoid a long rant about them being either a Remainer or a Brexiteer. Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales are not separate countries. Rather they are nations as they do not have a fully devolved government. Finally its you who drive on the wrong side of the road.

*I went to the UK a year ago, and I still remember the lady next to me saying I shouldn’t put the milk in first to my tea (which I was doing oops. Then she showed me how to make it properly:)*
When I make tea I put the tea bag in then sugar let it brew a little bit like 2 mins and then pour the milk in stir again for a little bit and hey presto it's nice strong and tasty
Things to note if you ever visit the uk:
- Never go into M&S or Waitrose unless you are middle class or above because everyone there will know you think it’s just a normal shop and stare at you like you just strangled a dog
- Never confuse countries in the Uk because we will probably attack you and steal your new watch
- If you say we drink so much tea I swear I will throw your coffee away
- If you aren’t patient with things here and are rude, all the people around you will call you a stupid gint
- If you say driving on the left side of the road is the ‘wrong’ way we will run you over with a bus
- If you don’t say hello or good morning to the people you meet eyes with they will drag you through a hedge
- Don’t mention Princess Diana in a disrespectful way or the entire world will mob you
- If you say think we are posh you are wrong, if you met a real person from the UK they would probably rob you then say sorry because we say it too much
- Don’t diss our weather, everyone says they hate it but they actually really love it
- Don’t read things on Wikipedia about the UK it’s just a bunch of rubbish
Hope this scared you and gave you nightmares about our country ;>

As a Brit, I'm always amazed at the liberties people take with the Queen's Guard. They are real soldiers and not just there for show!
The escalator one is generally just for train stations and the underground
And airport, department stores as well as some hotels, so not just for the tube or train stations.
Sarah Matthews hence the word *generally*
@@zoejones2882 well one day people that do videos on these things might just get it right, helps to do research!!!
Don't call it driving on the "wrong side," of the road. No one will get angry but obviously, we do not consider it to be "wrong."
The Royal Guards may seem to be a part of tourism because they are so famous and how they dress, but they are actual armed soldiers on duty protecting important people and building and also you. If there was a terrorist attack, for example, you would see that these are highly trained soldiers who would shoot dead whoever was causing the problem. It's obviously not safe to let you near their guns in case you try and take it off them.
Good point, royal guards are just doing their jobs to make a living, if someone distracts them and there was an attack, a person could lose their life because that guard couldn't help out
The Brigade of Guards is only on ceremonial duties for half the year. For the remainder they are on the same active service as any other regiments.

If you really want to know what the UK is like don't go to London. London is like a whole other country all by itself. You will pretty much find the rest of the world in London and as such it has a whole different way of life about it compared to the rest of the UK. I'm not suggesting it's a bad place, its just has a different way of living to the rest of us.
Or for balance, do. Cos it's great! But do also visit the smaller places if you can.
Wrong. London is just like any city it’s got its own quirks and culture, would you say don’t go to New York cause then you won’t be getting an American experience? Bugger off. If you visit London sure you won’t have experienced Britain but you’ll have experienced London which is a hell of a lot of fun if you don’t just be an ugly tourist and march about the place practically shouting about where you’ve been and where your going and how different it all is.
I agree on both
London is a multicultural shit hole, and has nothing to do with England, English culture or the English people. London is England's lost territory.
yes go to london if you want to meet all other nationalities, get in a taxi driven by a syrian, buy your food from an indian, get on a bus full of europeans driven by an arab to get to dinner at the turkish resturant. afterwards enjoy getting stabbed by a somalian then be operated on by a bangladeshi. dont expect the nurses to speak english either. tourists should not go to any major city if they want to meet english people and see 'england'. go to cornwall or yorkshire instead. beautiful places in the summer.
How was my experience in the UK? Why, very good! I live in the UK!
Half these things apply everywhere. Not just the UK
1. There isn’t such thing as a British accent, there are different countries together as the United Kingdom. Everybody from different places a lot of the time have complete different accents example- Scottish accents are nothing like Geordie accents and Geordie accents are nothing like “posher” accents.
2. If you are saying rules about visiting the uk, maybe actually get a british person to tell people that. It’s just know it all Americans that think they rule the world
You know, there are 43 different accents in Britain?
I live in the West Midlands by the Black Country and everyone has a strong “brummy” accent. So much different to a London accent.
Jack Hurrell - who counted them? and missed out the scores of others?
I agree i sometimes have a great despise to americans because they think that we all are posh and drink tea 24/7 and act like the queen
Thank you! I am forever saying that, and then Americans try and tell me I’being petty for bringing it up,so thank you for agreeing with me!
Number 8 should be English or Scottish accent not British or Scottish. There is no such thing as a British accent.
Englisc 0449 really? then the enternet lied to me all my life :O
There are regional accents in every country in the UK, just like in the US. Just ask the "man from Strabane" ;-)
Exactly, there's a wide variation of accents in England alone, someone from Liverpool will have a whole different accent than someone from London
Crystal Kitty yeah long story short, u can tell if someone is from England by their accent, no matter what part. We don’t care about all that.
and what if that person is not from UK at all but speaks 100% like somebody from London? I know somebody so I'm not lyinh
There isn’t a “British Accent” Britain has hundreds of accents
Britain is the only nation where your accent determines your class status. Sad but true.
I’m half British and half Canadian and I live in the UK and I didn’t know any of these 😂😂😂
It's understandable to get 'England' 'The United Kingdom' 'The British Isles' mixed up. Plenty of people here do it.
However, if you even attempt THINKING about putting the milk in before the tea, you risk being put in the Tower of London and having your head cut off
Is it OK to do that if you warm the pot first? 😁
I think if plenty of people in England get England mixed up with "The United Kingdom" it says a lot about how they see their partners in that union.
Not me..... Fuck Scotland and Wales....... Not ulster
Absolutely never. I am a Brit (English) and was on a training course in Beijing, my non-British colleague could not understand my look of absolute disgust when he put the milk in first. He tried to convince me it was 'milky tea'. I do hope they never find his body lol
Tea must be brewed before milk is added. If you are using a teapot, then milk goes into the cup before the tea. If you are not using a teapot then milk goes in last.
DO NOT TOUCH QUEEN'S GUARD
Honestly, I’m just trying to figure out how a sign saying stand to the right equates to an ‘unspoken rule’
"How are you?" Is a American greeting, often used as a replacement for hello. British people are usually left confused in the US, when strangers in shops drop this one on them. It isn't used in the UK, unless we actually want to know how you are, so if we say " How are you? " it's a genuine question and we want you to tell us.

As far as I'm aware the escalator thing only counts on the London underground where it is so busy that they put up signs asking people to keep to one side. ,
Standing on the right on the escalators is not an UNwritten rule. The instructions are on the escalators. Walking up the escalators saves far more than 30 secs. And that time can miss you the train and cost you half an hour.
People that think in America do the same.I know to do that just because I have manners.
Lol the tube comes every 1-2 mins, and there are very very few escalators outside London.
I'm not talking about getting the tube. I'm talking about getting a main line train after coming off the tube. They aren't 1-2 minutes are they. And it's London we're talking about.
in London you'd usually find escalators in the tube station and they're usually every 1 to 2 minutes apart.
