The USA is a relatively young country so don't be disrespectful to our US American friends. Of course we in the UK and Continental Europe have older places, traditions and culture.
@@markwolstenholme3354 you'd be surprised, I've seen comments from Americans saying they have a history as long as ours . Yep they really are clueless I'm afraid
@@claregale9011 It's rather sad and disturbing. Unfortunately it is the education system that has caused such ignorance. US Americans are lovely people but are ill informed. The reason for this is protectionism. Because of the www US Americans and many others are learning that there is a world outside of their front door.
The first coffee house opened in UK in 1650. Wolter does get a little excitable about things. Manners cost nothing and I don't think any Brit would be offended by anyone trying our accents 😂😂. The weather is very changeable, it can be sunny then rain within minutes, we're a small Island(s)..
The insistence that a lot of buildings are just film sets and props that were specifically built for the Harry Potter film series…. Ermmmm …… they weren’t actually….
If you don’t use your manners in the UK. Expect to be calling a C in return. Don’t stair at people for too long. As this will most likely result in a fight. When using public transport. Allow the passengers to get off first. Before you get on the train or bus. If not please will just walk straight through you, like you are not there. Don’t take souvenirs from historic buildings! This could get you sent to prison for 10 years! 😉
I'm always intrigued when Americans say they like a British accent or can do a British accent as to exactly what accent they mean? I say this as accents change roughly every 20-30 miles in the UK along with local slang words and in some cases local food dishes. And to give some context last week I was asked in a local shop were my accent was from (I've lived in outer London for 13 years but from York). So it can be confusing for Brits to nail an accent.
There's a weird accent that Americans all seem to do which they think is an English accent. I think they hear other Americans do that accent and just accept it as an authentic English accent but I've never heard anyone English who sounds remotely like it.
You can get LADY GREY tea as well. There are plenty of coffee shops in the UK . Some people say TOO MANY !! By the way....BUDWIESER is akin to toilet bowl water !! Which of the MANY " BRITISH" accents will she try !? It changes every 10 miles or so, town by town , not just country by country !
And - Earl Grey tea _isn't_ naturally decaffeinated? You can get decaff versions, but it naturally has about 50g of caffeine (v 80g for coffee) per cup.
And then only to differentiate yourself between American and Canadian, though why you wouldn't prefer to be thought of as Canadian is beyond me. Brits like Canadians, so after the initial requests to say "aboot" you'll be treated much more kindly. 🙂
Funny you said you like doing THE British accent, we have literally hundreds so that makes no sense. But I don't mind people having a go at an accent, I love accents, it's what makes people interesting and different.
Guys, I live in a large village in England,I had to stopas a wagon load of potatoes were holding up other traffic,an American husband and wife started asking what was in the wagon i said potatoes sir,he replied why back in the states we grow potatoes the size of soccer balls,yes I said but we don’t grow them to fit our mouths he just smiled.
If you react to any English/British videos make sure the person has a British accent because we know our own country best... We all drink tea is a myth, I never touch it, I drink coffee.. NEVER EVER say soccer, we will be ready to fight if you do.. we are not all well mannered gents and ladies, thinking like that will get you mugged and we don't all hate Americans.. NEVER say "shire" we never use that word hence check the video is from someone with a British accent 👍
I think coffee is more common than tea nowadays. I've also noticed that a lot of youngsters don't seem interested in either. They just have energy drinks or even water.
His name is Mark... DUH! His surname is Wolters... (not even Walters). Now who is clueless and shamed - just saying. Check facts BEFORE posting and showing ignorance, MAYBE ? 😂😂😂
Sorry if you took this the wrong way, but sort of my point! He seems to misunderstand the British humour and mistakes our sarcasm and irony for being annoyed 😂
There's a giant pachyderm in the room here, which, I'm afraid, displays this gentleman's complete lack of knowledge of who we are. The British are a riotous, yet studious bunch. We have burned down our own capital city 14 times in riots, pogroms and civil wars. We are both everything the reviewer describes and also nothing at all. We enjoy and celebrate wars. We are venal, vicious and racist, welcoming, noble, self sacrificing, generous and gifted with genius. We are unique.
For the most part, the general response to these things will be silent but intense fury - however there may be polite verbal rebukes, outbursts of explatives or, very occasionally, violence so do your best not to step on toes. I've seen someone respond to an arrogant US queue-jumper here with a surprisingly matter-of-fact punch to the face, greeted with satisfaction by the rest of us patiently waiting. (Most of us would never do such a thing, but its gratifying when someone else is willing to make a stand regardless of potential consequences.) With regards to the London business, in many countries the capital city is grossly unrepresentative of the nation as a whole and much despised by those labouring under its (mis-)rule and the UK is no exception to this. Its always safest to opt out of rounds in favour of just buying your own drink - as with eating, always go Dutch than risk either subsidising the greed of others or having everyone hate you because you're the greedy sod who got the most. Trying to shoehorn in assumed local vocuabulary is probably about as cringeworthy as an irritating faux accent. Also, he did not mention but its important - don't try to engage in unprovoked conversations with strangers (particularly on public transport) and try to maintain an 'indoor voice' as the most common blanket irritation regarding US folk is how loud they are.
Don’t worry about getting a coffee fix, it’s pretty much on a par with tea in the popularity stakes. The weirdness over microwaving water won’t crop up because we all have kettles, and they boil much faster over here because we have double the voltage in our electricity. But whatever you do, please don’t forget to pronounce aluminium correctly, because it is one of our favourite soft metals, and we talk about it all the time.
Most British people aren't really going to be offended by most of these things but basic good manners are appreciated by most people all over the world. We pronounce Aluminium the way we do as it has two i ,s in it so we pronounce both whilst Americans generally pronounce words and spell them in their simplest form. Personally I don't like the fact that Americans spell words incorrectly however it doesn't offend me as it isn't a particularly important matter.
Coffee is just as popular. It established itself in the 17th and 18th centuries, where coffee houses were meeting places and formed the basis of many of our financial institutions. Tea became prominent in the 1800s into the 1900s, a popular hot beverage drunk by nobility through to working people in the factories. It was cheap and valued for its warming, refreshing and calming qualities, which people would bond over while having a break. Coffee has had a resurgence notably from the 1990s many coffee shops and coffee chains opening up on every high st. You can get a great cup of coffee in most places (mostly from the independents) to a reasonable - ordinary/mundane coffee in a chain coffee place or fast food outlet.
Downright ignorance is annoying....but funny mistakes and differences are what make us all great.....would you want everyone to be the same....naaah.....love from Scotland
I'm rom East London ( now Live is SE London ) and I always cringe when I hear an American do a London ( Cockney ) accent - I'm not sure if its because I sound like that or thats a terrible try at a accent
There is no such thing as a 'british' accent there's hundreds of accents. Its offensive to do an accent because youre never even close you just use a mocking generic RP accent and most people especially scottish and irish would be very offended if you try to talk to them with 'british' accent
They seem to have a lot of strange views of the UK. Maybe they know anti UK people and were fed misinformation but it's crazy how ignorant they sound hahah
Coffee is pretty popular here, most people drink both even if they say they 'prefer' one or the other. Thing is, for every cup of coffee you can probably drink 3 cups of tea as there is less caffeine (I've NEVER had caffeine shakes from too much tea, absolutely have from overindulging in coffee). You can also drink tea later in the day, so many will have a coffee in the morning, tea through the day, with maybe another coffee for lunch or in the afternoon. I would say tea is much more standard at home too, whereas coffee is probably more standard when out and about for some reason (probably blame Starbucks for that).
We have many regional accents actually around 40 + .it's pretty simple be respectful , never mock our ceremonial kings guards ( soliders ) and just say please and thankyou . 😊
40 is way way way too little too. If you're including northern Ireland for example there's easily 50+ there alone. I'm from Belfast and there's easily 10-15 variations here. I speak a different accent to my older siblings because my parents moved 3 miles away when I was young, I'm sure much of mainland UK is similar.
I don't know whether you'd be interested in these YT vids - 'I Explored the UK's Rarest Habitat & found something amazing...' - 'They Built a Rainforest Ecosystem inside a Geodesic Dome' - 'What did the British ever do for us? (scientifically)'
How to piss off the english . My local council ask me to fill a survey in it listed African, Scottish, Irish, Asian, Chinese , South Asian?,Caribbean, British, other . Not nessary in that order . I had to tick other . This was a few years ago and they have improved recently
It listed more than those. You also didn't use the correct English words. I'd say that you are annoying to those of us with some intelligence and a basic level of education!
When it comes to rounds you can just say please don’t include me in the rounds. I gave up drinking at 16 years old still went out every weekend with my friends. All though my 20’s - 30’s never had only problems.😂🏴🇬🇧
Coffee is just as popular as tea, I know more coffee drinkers than tea, a lot of tea is consumed because tea drinkers drink a lot same as coffee drinkers do, I have a brew about every hour and fifteen minutes
FYI: Brits DO love tea MORE... It is estimated that we drink about 165 MILLION cups of tea PER DAY - versus - about 95 MILLION cups of coffee PER DAY ! Just saying. Strangely, the 'British COFFEE Association' always TRY to say Brits drink more coffee - Yet it is ALWAYS disproved and then they use statistics to say they are comparing tea with milk versus white coffee etc. The fact remains; TEA is drunk mote than coffee in the UK.
Try checking out clips of American tourists being disrespectful to understand how people change when they travel, I worked at Heathrow airport so I saw plenty of it from all nations, but it was the confident ignorance that came from many Americans, I’m sure these people are lovely but they change when they travel .
It's still quite disappointing how many Brits can't spell English correctly; "stair", "loose" and "alown" instead of "stare", "lose" and "alone" in these comments, just as examples.
Americans have this attitude where if they see something once they believe it to be standard or 'the way it is in the UK' They think one restaurant experience speaks for entire countries and cities. They think one accent or way of saying a word applies to everyone. They don't get that a lot of words for us are flexible and can have many different meanings based on tone and context etc since they use the same words over and over and over with less variation.
No like really really in the uk we find americans and some Asians insanely rude because they dont respect the queue and dont hsve the same level of manners. If you're american you just dont get it, my friends would roast me if i didnt thank my bus man for example
Most Brits really don’t mind people trying to do the “British” accent, we find it amusing, I have an American friend who I encourage to do the accent whenever possible, it always makes me laugh & allows me to do my southern American accent, they’re both as bad as each other 😂
Buying rounds. You can leave a session early but when you decide to leave and you have been bought say a two or three pints you buy a round before you leave. Otherwise you WILL get the reputation of being a round skipper.
Coffee is very common, we have really bad instant coffee and really good instant coffee (granules), Starbuck's is very average + the service is horrible. If you have good coffee, it's easy to make good coffee. You kinda have to search to get bad tea (bags), if you have good tea bags (99% of the time) you could still mess it up, don't worry though - we will tell you. Got to say - and only for Americans - being obese isn't a great way to be a tourist. Especially the obesse/loud American combo, it's just a bad look.
I think the biggest thing tourists need to remember, is that you have travelled to another country, therefore things are different! Living in a tourist town, it seems to be people from the US that struggle to adapt to the different currency, and food, traditions, lifestyle etc.
If anyone tells you to learn some English… just say you speak American, like in the movies and most will either laugh or try and respond in an American accent, at which point you can start to take piss out of them and really join in with British culture 😂
His name is Mark... His surname is Wolters (with an O - not even Walter !!!).

We do like Americans but there are the inevitable English exceptionalists with massive chips on their shoulders who seem to think they increase their self worth by tearing down anything American including American people. I live in a Welsh village and we have several American families living here. They are all popular because they make the effort to fit in. The first American couple I met here are two gay men, one from NYC and the other from New Jersey, who settled in the village about 40 years ago. They are popular with everyone. They now have dual citizenship and when they married here 7 years ago the reception was jampacked with their British friends and neighbours eager to show them their respect, support and friendship. Get this, one of them was an English teacher in a comprehensive school in a nearby town. He retired recently.
I haven't drank tea since I was a baby, and that was a long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long time ago, and I have never drank coffee. As for Greggs I have used it about a dozen times in total over the years, but I don't rate it very highly.
Man you got so nice tripods on your mics. Why do you not just let them stand still on the table without touching it? The disturbing noises are annoying as fuck. And your girl is too quiet and you are too loud.
britain is england, scotland and wales. literally three different native *languages* between them. we find yanks doing a "british" accent annoying because you're doing an impression of the way 0.1% of us speak.
if you knew you were doing a posh RP english accent, it would go down fine, but brits have an accent radar because you can go to another city 20 miles away and find a whole other accent/vernacular.
The problem with Muricans mimicking the English accent is, they are useless at it, they are so repetitive, boring, annoying and insistent, "No, it sounds exactly like you, it does, really!". Ihad to pull my brother-in-law off of a Yank because every thing he said, the yank repeated, with a laugh, over and over again! My brother-in-law asked him what his problem was and he blamed it on the drink, what, he had half a pint and it made him act like a 35 year old child!
We can complain that Americans have stolen the name 'football' for the sole use of gridiron football - a Canadian adaptation of Rugby Union football. We do understand that there are many variations. But globally, one variant is massively more popular than any other.
The reason I only come here occasionally now is because of that, really. She takes those huge wide-mouth yawns at the camera without even masking it with her hand. Gawd! The last thing I want to be looking at on UA-cam is someone else's tonsils.😂😂😂
Aluminium (Aluminium in North American English) is a chemical element; it has symbol Al and atomic number 13 ( the only country in the world that says the latter is north america)
I always felt Aluminium (UK) sounded right....as we also have Potassium not Potassum, Sodium, not Sodum, Magnesium, not Magnesum, Strontium.not Strontum. I could go on. Heehee
@winwinmilieudefensie7757 hey I'm not saying English should not be altered.....English itself is a mash of lots of European languages....I love it ......especially Soccer.....that's the word we used for a while....from aSOCiation football......the Yanks kept it and we shout at then. Ps ....despite this I do get pissed off when Americans still say soccer ⚽️....you can't win
@@dscott1392 Platinum not platinium, lanthanum not lanthanium; Just saying. Humphy Davy (a Brit) who first hypothesised it's existence as an element, initially called it 'aluminum' but later changed it to 'aluminium'. It was adopted by the American Chemical Society as 'aluminum' in 1925, but the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry accepted 'aluminium' as the international standard in 1990, but by then 'aluminum' was already popularised in the USA, and like so many other things, they stuck with what they knew, despite being in the minority - much like Britain and driving on the left. Neither is 'right' or 'wrong', it just is what it is depending where in the world you are.

It's still quite disappointing how many Brits can't spell English correctly; "stair", "loose" and "alown" instead of "stare", "lose" and "alone" in these comments, just as examples.
He is clueless.
He is what annoys us English
That is so true.
Americans have this attitude where if they see something once they believe it to be standard or 'the way it is in the UK'
They think one restaurant experience speaks for entire countries and cities. They think one accent or way of saying a word applies to everyone. They don't get that a lot of words for us are flexible and can have many different meanings based on tone and context etc since they use the same words over and over and over with less variation.
@@WookieWarriorz There is a reason what they speak is called 'simple english'.
No like really really in the uk we find americans and some Asians insanely rude because they dont respect the queue and dont hsve the same level of manners. If you're american you just dont get it, my friends would roast me if i didnt thank my bus man for example
Most Brits really don’t mind people trying to do the “British” accent, we find it amusing, I have an American friend who I encourage to do the accent whenever possible, it always makes me laugh & allows me to do my southern American accent, they’re both as bad as each other 😂
Buying rounds.
You can leave a session early but when you decide to leave and you have been bought say a two or three pints you buy a round before you leave. Otherwise you WILL get the reputation of being a round skipper.
Coffee is very common, we have really bad instant coffee and really good instant coffee (granules), Starbuck's is very average + the service is horrible. If you have good coffee, it's easy to make good coffee. You kinda have to search to get bad tea (bags), if you have good tea bags (99% of the time) you could still mess it up, don't worry though - we will tell you.
Got to say - and only for Americans - being obese isn't a great way to be a tourist. Especially the obesse/loud American combo, it's just a bad look.
Yes, it's aluminium. Think of the other metals: lithium, potassium, sodium, calcium, magnesium etc.
We Brits never drink coffee. I dont even know what it is!!
I never drink tea, and I've served in the British army. I'd say you don't know what it is to be British!
I think the biggest thing tourists need to remember, is that you have travelled to another country, therefore things are different! Living in a tourist town, it seems to be people from the US that struggle to adapt to the different currency, and food, traditions, lifestyle etc.
Fun fact strong tea contains almost the same amount of stimulating alkaloids as coffee.
Some teas have more caffeine than coffee, on top of the rest.
If anyone tells you to learn some English… just say you speak American, like in the movies and most will either laugh or try and respond in an American accent, at which point you can start to take piss out of them and really join in with British culture 😂
There's only one variety of tea..... the rest are cordials 🙄
Sure did!
& we shock horror we do have coffee!
Walter visits Chester and says nothing about Chester
His name is Mark... His surname is Wolters (with an O - not even Walter !!!). You should, (perhaps ?), check details before commenting OR you become as bad as the person you are having a 'dig' about... By the way, I too have issues with Mark Wolters vids, but prefer to get his name right before pointing out my pet peeves... 😊
It's not a video about Chester so why should he?
Walter again: - What to Know Before You Visit Finland: ua-cam.com/video/ufTXBGSNcIg/v-deo.html
So do you say Titanum or Plutonum or Lithum or Strontum etc?
As a Brit i only drink coffee, Never got the Tea thing in my 49 yrs here!
We do like Americans but there are the inevitable English exceptionalists with massive chips on their shoulders who seem to think they increase their self worth by tearing down anything American including American people.
I live in a Welsh village and we have several American families living here. They are all popular because they make the effort to fit in.
The first American couple I met here are two gay men, one from NYC and the other from New Jersey, who settled in the village about 40 years ago. They are popular with everyone. They now have dual citizenship and when they married here 7 years ago the reception was jampacked with their British friends and neighbours eager to show them their respect, support and friendship.
Get this, one of them was an English teacher in a comprehensive school in a nearby town. He retired recently.
Im a Brit who has not drunk tea in over 22 years i have also never eaten from Gregs, i know i could loose my passport for that alown.
I haven't drank tea since I was a baby, and that was a long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long time ago, and I have never drank coffee. As for Greggs I have used it about a dozen times in total over the years, but I don't rate it very highly.
The word Soccer originates from England.
But when we say 'football', we don't mean 'gridiron', unlike Americans.
Man you got so nice tripods on your mics. Why do you not just let them stand still on the table without touching it? The disturbing noises are annoying as fuck. And your girl is too quiet and you are too loud.
We don’t care if football is called soccer
We do sort of resent Americans appropriating the word for gridiron football, though.
I identify as British not English. My mum was Welsh and my dad Scottish so it’s weird for me to identify as English even though I was born in England.
britain is england, scotland and wales. literally three different native *languages* between them. we find yanks doing a "british" accent annoying because you're doing an impression of the way 0.1% of us speak.
if you knew you were doing a posh RP english accent, it would go down fine, but brits have an accent radar because you can go to another city 20 miles away and find a whole other accent/vernacular.
The problem with Muricans mimicking the English accent is, they are useless at it, they are so repetitive, boring, annoying and insistent, "No, it sounds exactly like you, it does, really!". Ihad to pull my brother-in-law off of a Yank because every thing he said, the yank repeated, with a laugh, over and over again! My brother-in-law asked him what his problem was and he blamed it on the drink, what, he had half a pint and it made him act like a 35 year old child!
The dude in those videos comes from a good place, but I wouldn’t take what he says for gospel. It’s a very tourist point of view.
The British can't complain about SOCCER, they came up with the term, so they have nothing to say about it and just have to live with it, Sockers! 🤪✌🏼
We can complain that Americans have stolen the name 'football' for the sole use of gridiron football - a Canadian adaptation of Rugby Union football. We do understand that there are many variations. But globally, one variant is massively more popular than any other.
I always feel sorry for watching you guys - I feel I’m waking Lynda up 🥱
The reason I only come here occasionally now is because of that, really. She takes those huge wide-mouth yawns at the camera without even masking it with her hand. Gawd! The last thing I want to be looking at on UA-cam is someone else's tonsils.😂😂😂
Aluminium (Aluminium in North American English) is a chemical element; it has symbol Al and atomic number 13 ( the only country in the world that says the latter is north america)
you spelled it both the same... usa says :
alu_....mi_..... num
I always felt Aluminium (UK) sounded right....as we also have Potassium not Potassum, Sodium, not Sodum, Magnesium, not Magnesum, Strontium.not Strontum. I could go on. Heehee
@@dscott1392 it IS right lol 😂.. Americans just bastardized the language but thats what happens with languages over time
@winwinmilieudefensie7757 hey I'm not saying English should not be altered.....English itself is a mash of lots of European languages....I love it ......especially Soccer.....that's the word we used for a while....from aSOCiation football......the Yanks kept it and we shout at then. Ps ....despite this I do get pissed off when Americans still say soccer ⚽️....you can't win
@@dscott1392 Platinum not platinium, lanthanum not lanthanium; Just saying.
Humphy Davy (a Brit) who first hypothesised it's existence as an element, initially called it 'aluminum' but later changed it to 'aluminium'. It was adopted by the American Chemical Society as 'aluminum' in 1925, but the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry accepted 'aluminium' as the international standard in 1990, but by then 'aluminum' was already popularised in the USA, and like so many other things, they stuck with what they knew, despite being in the minority - much like Britain and driving on the left. Neither is 'right' or 'wrong', it just is what it is depending where in the world you are.
