Hey everyone! We REALLY enjoyed doing this video! So much fun! Please Like & share with your friends! Regrettably the "Ham Banana Rolls" 🤮 are AMERICAN! We are ashamed, 😂 Thank you for your continued support! We love you all! ❤
When the video was talking about people get other people’s letters because of another place with a similar address this happens every year with a Christmas card and the odd letters. From 🏴❤️ love your videos.
If you can have Bacon and maple syrup on a pancake, why not banana ham and cheese? 😎
Norfolk and Suffolk came from the geographical way that the Iceni referred to themselves... North folk became Norfolk and South folk became Suffolk. Although of course Norfolk is by far the best County!
Norfolk is a brilliant County! People here still very much care about their County
I think a fair recompense would be a video where you try out this American delicacy and give us your thoughts. Surely it can't taste as bad as it sounds, can it?
The Union Flag/Jack thing… it is now completely acceptable, officially, to refer to the flag of the United Kingdom as EITHER a Union Flag OR a Union Jack - except when flying from a ship when it is ALWAYS a Jack.
Flown from the Jackstaff whilst alongside or at anchor, of course.👍
Depends if you are in Scouts/Guides.
It always annoys me when people call it the Union Jack.
I recommend more Map Men video's. Educational yet funny across the board. Laughter is the best medicine some say !
Definitely! ❤
Be careful if you do their 'Where is the North South Divide' one. It can leave Americans thinking it's a debate about where to draw the line...IT'S NOT !!
Lovely Reaction Ladies and I Have Subscribed :)
You have just stumbled upon 2 of the funniest and wittiest and cleverest Guys out there with over 1 Million Subscribers which they have for a very good reason.
Their videos about The London Boroughs ( all 32 of them unlike the 5 Boroughs in New York ) is funny and informative but there are so many Jay Foreman videos especially when he teams with Mark and forms "Map Men". You weren't to know but after the advert, Jay sings a song that he created involving all the County names...:)
I also recommend watching their ads
We are so ASHAMED that the Ham Banana Roll is AMERICAN!! We sincerely apologize for that nastiness!! 😔 😂
As long as you're hanging your heads in shame - we'll forgive you. Although I think as a punishment you should try it and let us know how terrible it is.
No - even I could not be so cruel. Apology accepted.
@@margaretnicol3423 we may actually try it... Debbie already found the recipe 🤮🤮
@@TheNatashaDebbieShow Well if you can eat pineapple with ham and cheese on a pizza banana's not so far off. Looking forward to seeing that video. :-D
Totally forgiven as we had our own weird foods in the 70's. There was an eccentric cook over here called Fanny Craddock..(don't laugh its true!) who I remember doing weird stuff like taking the yolks out of hard boiled eggs and mixing them with mayo cayenne pepper and blue food colouring and then piping it back into the egg white...Why I don't know. She is a hoot to watch bossing her assistants about. I'm sure you can find some of her vids on youtube.
No-one makes a doughnut quite like Fannies. !!
Congratulations on 9k. The enthusiasm and humour you both show really shines through.
Thanks Paul!
The variations of 'shire' pronunciation is probably due to regional accents. As you already know, walk 20 minutes down the road and the accent is different, the colloquialisms are different and you can cause a riot by calling a bread roll a barm cake.
We call them bread cakes in West Yorkshire, if it's got dried fruit it's a tea cake. Not sure about the rest of Yorkshire
I think you mean breadcake 😝
uh oh, you had to bring that one up! My Uni housemates and I had that debate multiple times lol...
and it's called a Cob!!! 😉😁
Cob, bap, batch, balm cake 😂
Ahem!....bread bun 😊😊
Once again a great video and reaction. On the Freddie Mrcury anniversary, my wife worked in a certain bank and one of her clients was a Miss Bulsara, which is Freddy's real surname and she is Freddy's sister. He sometimes came into the bank with her and my wife chatted with him when he came in. One of the nicest people on the earth is how she described him. Its hard to believe its now 30 years since he passed. Keep the vids coming, I look forward to them x
The pronunciation of counties ending in Shire will vary across the UK - where I come from Cheshire - Lancashire would be pronounced with Sheer at the end. Yet Shire horses would be pronounced shyer. They moved my county borders so I live in a different county now without moving to a different place.
I live in Shropshire, formerly Salop in Old English and the counties official name 1974-1980, people still now refer to us as 'salopians'! ☺
Weren't Salopians in a Doctor Who episode? lol
@@davidsanderson2960 quite possibly!! 😂
As in tubes?
Map Men is a great channel with lots of fun videos so I would be happy to see more reactions of them. Y'all make me miss Ohio very much.
It makes more sense to concider it like this. UK County = US State UK District = US County
With the exception of Rates and by laws ALL Taxes and Laws are Nation wide. So VAT and Income Tax do not vary by County, whereas you have Federal , State and Local taxes.
Love the vids, and keep enjoying yourselves :)
council tax could change depending what side of the road you live on but the bin men still come on the same day for said street!
To add to the confusion, police forces share counties, i'm under Devon & Cornwall constabulary (2 counties) & i have no clue what became of Avon & Somerset constabulary once they got rid of the county of Avon!
This is one of the best channels that I have added on here. Loving the positive energy from you two lovelies ❤️👍
Well thank you so very much!! ❤
This video was a great choice. Really enjoyable! I’ve got to say, a lot of us Brits are probably also confused about the history/changes in county boundaries/names etc!
Absolutely thrilled that your great country
(not county!) can lay claim to that incredible pudding/casserole!!
If you are interested in more UK history, there is a fantastic tv series called Horrible Histories. It’s actually a kids educational programme, but it’s made with humour and is great for adults too. Sadly it may be blocked by TH-cam, but it’s worth a try.
Good to see you’re nearly better Natasha. Hope you’ve managed to avoid catching the lurgy, Debbie!
Can happily report a healthy Debbie! 😀
Congratulation on reaching 9,005 subs! 👏👏👏
Do you realize that when you finish this video you'll probably know more about counties than most people in the UK. 😁
Haha!!
Shire is pronounced the same as the US state of New Hampshire is, no need to over think it!!
In the UK, biscuits are dry, snap when they are fresh and soft when they are stale. A cookie is softer when fresh and can go hard when stale (much the same as a cake sponge!!). So that plate was definitely biscuits to us and not a direct translation to cookie either!! 😁
I believe the sole exception are chocolate chip cookies, I don't recall them being described as chocolate chip biscuits - though I'm sure someone will insist.
You should take another look at the ghastly building shown immediately before the Banana/Ham/Custard thingy. This is Trellick Tower in west London, designed by a controversial modernist architect, who also annoyed James Bond author Ian Fleming when he designed some unattractive modernist houses close to Fleming's home. Ian Fleming had his revenge by using the architect's name as the villain in a James Bond novel; the character was repulsively ugly, cheated at cards, cheated at golf, maltreated women and was the world's greediest man. The architect's name was Erno Goldfinger.
That was custard?
It looked to me like sausage (photoshopped into bananas), ham/bacon, with melted cheese on top.
Jago Hazzard has a great video on the building (and others of that type)
I think that's Balfron Tower, in East London (E14), by Blackwall Tunnel, same Architect. The stairways and lift shafts are different. I used to walk past i in the late 60's/early 70's
A great place when first built.
@@stephenlee5929 Yes, you're right. Good spot.
@@kevinshort3943 My first thought was Hollandaise sauce...
We all know the best thing to come out of Yorkshire is the road to Lancashire...🌹
it'd be great if you reacted to The War of the Roses :) 🤔
The best thing to come out of yorkshire was God and a host of literary Angels, now the road is there for one thing and one thing only, to send all broom stick riding Lancastrians back to hell. Typical Lancastrian hob-goblin harping on about the war, 567 years ago these evil devil worshipers gave the crown to the Germans. Traitors i say. long live King Edward IV.
Old enough to have been born in Warrington Lancashire which was changed to Warrington Cheshire in early 1970s. Another great episode
I learnt recently that the border was the ship canal. I'd always thought it was the Mersey. I'm L.A. and always classed it as Cheshire.
Both Warrington and widnes are on the Mersey and has been in Lancashire until 1973
And just in case you did not know Widnes railway station was were Paul Simon allegedly wrote Homeward Bound
Same for me. Warrington became part of Cheshire when I was 5
@@latchfordbob I was born on Wilderspool Causeway in Warrington which has the Mersey running across one end and the Ship Canal across the other end.
We eat sliced bananas with hot custard, and that isn't so bad. We also enjoy sliced banana on fresh crusty buttered bread, not the factory doughy stuff. You ladies will get on here in the UK just fine. You're getting the hang of our humour. You laugh at the ridiculous, and we've got lots of that over here. It's what we are.
It'd be fine washed down with Dr Pepper
Bananas & custard is amazing!
Hi hoooo hi hoooo OHIO 🤣😂
Love bananas and custard,love banana sandwich. Yum. Dad's favourite was bananas sliced up in milk with a bit of sugar sprinkled on ,leave to stand awhile to really flavour the milk.😃
The image they used for 'Count' was of course Count Duckula, the vegetarian vampire duck.
I used to work for Royal Mail and understand why the counties changed in that respect for the post.. it was all about how far an address is from the nearest mail centre...
For example, I used to live near a town called Burton-upon-Trent which is in the county of Staffordshire, but the closest mail centre is actually Derby, not Stafford, so the county is Staffordshire but the postcode is DE (Derby),
We have a village called Ashby-de-la-Zouche which is in the county of Leicestershire, but the nearest mail centre is Derby, (not Leicester) so residents of that village are in the county of Leicestershire with a DE postcode..
It was all about logistics , hence why we don't need to name counties on an address, Royal Mail can get your post to you with the first line of address and postcode only !
....and also yes county borders were changed again in the 1970s for logistics and local council funding etc etc .. The village I lived in, in Leicestershire, used to be in Derbyshire, but borders changed because noone really wanted our villages and town 😂🤷🏽♀️
The sub-counties are mainly to do with local services, schools, waste collection, etc.. again, a logistics thing.. So I have just moved from North West Leicestershire to Hinkley and Bosworth... it's only a few miles apart, same county of Leicestershire, but our bins and waste collection are different , we have to apply for different council tax, different council offices..
Don't forget, we mostly live on top of each other like sardines here in the UK.. a border is literally a road, a sign, and can be nothing more than that, 1 mile is the difference between counties.. I live in the middle of five counties, right in the very centre of England..
Watching your video and recounting all of this has made my head spin, and I live here 😬😳🤣🤣🤣😲😳😂
There is a Royal Mail centre by Stoke on Trent train station
Laws are pretty standard through out the country , however there are what are called Local bye laws , these are things like parking restrictions , building permits etc , and income rax is standard nation wide , and is paid monthly ( if you are an employee ) not yearly as the USA . Have a happy Thanks Giving
Thank you!!
If you're paid weekly as an employee you pay the tax weekly.
@@cogidubnus1953 True, but your employer pays it to the inland revenue monthly , do people still get paid weekly ??
@@smithjohn5121 not often but a few do my last job did

Enjoyed this super interesting 🤔 any fellow Lancashirians?!🌹
Thanks for this, ladies. I'm a brit, and I learned quite a lot from this. Always enjoy your videos. Keep em coming....
Congrats on 9k, been following your channel from almost the start and I love your fun and enthusiasm. Stay safe, love from London 🫖❤️🎉.
Æthelstan - nowadays often spelled Athelstan* is considered the first king of England. A lot of people think it was Alfred the Great, be he was only king of Wessex.
It's too long to get into here, but before then, England was divided into at least 4 kingdoms, and before that there were the Romans...
*Now the th in Æthestan is pronunced with the unvoiced th (as sin south), but at the timee it was written with þ wich was used for both th sounds (as in the, too). However, given the way the name was given in Old Norse (the language of the Vikings) who had both sounds, written þ and ð respectively, it can be argued that it was a voiced th: Aðalsteinn. In the continental Scandinavian languages today the ð evolved into d, the þ into t (Thor, Þórr, has become Tor) pretty much consistently and systematically.
yes..
Ah I love jay foreman videos good choice. And its always a treat when you two upload 😊 Hope you're both doing well and grats on 9k subs
Thanks so much Michael! We stayed up all night getting this video made, so just getting ready to sleep!
Rutland, smallest, the most posh and a "jolly nice walk" Very pretty.
Love you guys and your videos and I am a retired widower who lives in Halifax in West Yorkshire. If ever you are in this area of England you are more than welcome to stay at my place.
Minor local ordinances DO vary from county to county but national law applies to the whole of England.
Historically Durham was a county palatine under a Prince-Bishop so its laws were different until the 1850s.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 still laughing about the ham banana thing. I really love this video. Thank you 😁
Thank you for another informative and fun video
Always knew your channel would be successful .
There are two types of vloggers who win views either outrageous or honest.
You've combined both you're outrageously honest😀
In all fairness more power to your channel guys .
Love Lee and Christine XXX
PS we're are from Essex (Canvey Island) but now live in Suffolk, ( Ipswich )
Thanks so much Lee & Christine!! ❤❤
You girls totally get the brit sense of humour.
Never seen that food item in my life and I grew up in the 1970s. 😂
Whatever it is, I hope it was very quickly detonated in a controlled explosion. What worries me is that the "cheese" looks like custard to me.
😂😂😂 it's American! 😭😭
You two ladies are awesome! I love you and your videos! Shout to the boys for a great video!
The map men are great - and have done so many really cool videos. Very educational and very entertaining - do more!
Another fun video I love love love your chemistry together. Congrats on 9k 👏
So glad this suggestion worked out so well! Really love your reaction - especially to the banana-ham-cheese casserole!
Oh almost for got in the clip of 1972 did you here him say Rainbow, well that was a kids show, I never missed an episode. I watched a few clips on youtube recently, I couldn't believe it, tv execs must have thought we were all simpletons, I laughed my ass off you should give it a watch. 💗💗💗
Moment of silence for the banana meat cheese casserole 🤣🤣... that had me
It was much required!
I knew you'd love the channel Jay Foreman! Which is why I recommended his video 'Why are British Place Names So Hard to Pronounce?". I'm so glad you proved me right by liking his channel.
We have to thank our TH-cam advisor for this video! We will definitely be doing more in the future!
@@TheNatashaDebbieShow I look forward to it. It will also help you for if you ever visit the UK. As Jay Foreman himself said (satirically), "There is nothing for fun than laughing at tourists who don't know how to say something properly, simply because they're from a different country, and could never be reasonably expected to have predicted a local pronunciation that contradicts the basic rules of language!"
I love you ladies. You are very open minded. Royal Mail goes back to the 1660's Every wonder why British stamps are the only stamps that do not have their country name on them when all other countries do? I is because WE INVENTED stamps in 1840. Love your show. Alan ( From the Metropolitan Borough of West Midlands or as we who live hearin call Warwickshire !!) Keep it up ladies TTFN (Ta Ta For Now)
Hey ladies I'm a Yorkshire lass I would pronounce it York shur. I live just above the sticky outy bit ( East riding of Yorkshire on the map lol) never accepted and they changed it to Humberside, always put Easy Yorkshire on any correspondence. And I'm from Hull which is in East Yorkshire always was always will.
Loved this 🤣🤣🤣 London/ now Essex here.... proper down South and we say Shuh as in YorkSHUH .... the 'Shire' is definitely pronounced differently across the country depending on regional accents ... some of my family say 'Sheer' but I'm common 🤣🤣🤣 congratulations on 9K ... thats incredible in 3 months x
Hello lovely friends. If you enjoyed the Mapmen doing our counties, then I recommend you find their video on British place names, it's a hoot! FYI, being
"ancient" I can actually remember the 70's. "The first episode of Rainbow" refers to a kids TV show (think Sesame Street, but simpler and cheaper). As to
the concoction of bananas, ham and cheese sauce, I have no idea although I have had grilled banana with grilled bacon. It's actually way better than it
sounds it should be. Confession time now, Natasha. I started to watch your last post about Christmas and all. but had to shut it off quickly. In the 3
months that I've been watching the pair of you, I have become so fond of you both (yes, I know it's dumb) that I truly hate to see either of you so upset.
There is quite enough misery in normal life without dredging it up without reason. Love, hugs, kisses etc.....................................the ancient Englishman.
Appreciate it. But there was reason. To tell my story and possibly help others at the holidays going through such misery.
@@TheNatashaDebbieShow Those are all good, even noble, reasons but I just found it too tough to take. Forgive me, I'm just a silly old man.
In the US, the mail is delivered by the US Postal Service. In Britain, the post is delivered by the Royal Mail.
What they did not mention was there is only 1 "County" left in England and that is County Durham.
Shire : when used on its own or to describe an object like shire horse, we pronounce it as "shyer". When it forms part of a county name, it is more like "shh".
So a shyer horse but York-shh or Nottingham-shh.
The county I live in, in Wales, was spilt-up into smaller counties in the 1990s but people still use the old county name on addresses.
lemme guess... Glamorgan?
@@AndrewHalliwell One of the many :-)
North or South Wales is another divide 😏
Where I live is now RCT (Rhondda Cynon Taf) but most people still say Mid Glamorgan.
@@adventussaxonum448 I know, it is mad really. Mid Glamorgan has not existed for about 26 years. May as well write "Silures" on an envelope.
I was wondering why I thought Humberstone was still a thing because I go by the sign everyday, and I've just discovered it's a town now instead of a county. I've just learnt this and I've lived down the road to Humberstone my whole life lmao.
Humberside was the county - not Humberstone (a suburb of Leicester, no where near the Humber).
@@wessexdruid5290 oh I'm getting confused with all the humber malarkey sorry
@@wessexdruid5290 meant humberside
a Yorkshire man from South Yorkshire here. i find your reaction to all this hilarious
I know there is an ad at the end of most mapmen vids, but they are just as funny as the main part. Congrats on 9.08K subs.
People outside Yorkshire do care what county they are from, people are proud of where they are from.
True, it's just that most people outside Yorkshire don't feel contractually obliged to relentlessly bang on about it.
Provision of local services vary considerably from county to county, as do policing standards, etc
The Video was great. Very entertaining to watch. Look forward to the video on Wednesday. I love queen. Will definitely be joining you for that.
Congrats on 9k , I was subscriber no 6 .I,m proud of you both , love your enthusiasm to learn , keep having fun .x.
Hahaha this was a great video I actually learnt something about my home town ( Leicestershire) and also found the hamcheesebananacasserole hilarious 😂 soooo glad it didn't catch on would not want to try that 😄
Yay for West Midlands
12:16 - My home town, St. Ives! (in Huntingdonshire, now in Cambridgeshire, but still kind of in Huntingdonshire), famous for the Monday market and the riddle, "As I was going to St. Ives, I met a man with seven wives".

Glad your on the mend. Love the Map Men, enjoyed you reaction. You should let their adverts play out, they are very entertaining with a lot of effort put in.
Yeah but they get paid for them, we don't 🤷🏼♀️🤷♀️
@@TheNatashaDebbieShow And? You say that like its a bad thing? Map Men get a boost to their channel, so they can continue to make content for you to react to. Its only an extra min of (entertaining) video for you to watch and its no skin off your nose either way. Unless of course your being forced to pay Map Men to use their content then I would kinda understand why you would be reluctant to show their ad, otherwise I don't see your reasoning.
We don't need to explain our reasoning
@@TheNatashaDebbieShow I didn't ask you too. I just said I didn't understand it.
I was born and raised in Lancashire, then in 1971 the border with Cheshire to the south was moved north and we were told we now live in Cheshire. I've never accepted this and always omit the country from my address.
I live in Northamptonshire, which has, only this year, been split into two Unitary Authorities. It's currently a mess, with the two new authorities still working out how to split the old County-wide services like Libraries and Highways between them. I'm in North Northamptonshire but we had a new delivery of books into our local library which said property of West Northamptonshire on them.
The government was forced to make some sort of change when the old County Council went bankrupt. They basically sold everything that wasn't nailed down (and some stuff that was) and built a new, no luxury spared, County Hall, which now stands empty.
People from Yorkshire pronounce it 'Yorksha'. Only southern English people say 'Yorkshear'. Thanks for uploading, loving the channel, guys :)
No it's not only Southern English people.
I disagree. I’m from West Mid’s and we say Yorksheer. We’re bang in the middle and definitely not Southerners.
When I saw the thumbnail I thought Debbie was teaching Natasha YMCA lol. Love from Lancashire 🇬🇧🇺🇸
Dying laughing 😂
Another brilliant video, you guys are such good fun, that banana whatever the heck it was, is not normal and we don't eat that! Honestly!!🤣 x
I've never laughted so much on a Sunday morning in a long time thank you x To all the Bananas in the world I'm sorry 🍌😂x
😂😂
I laughed for every 25 minutes of this. One day, when the world is opened up again, you should come to my part of England and fall over laughing at our accent and piles of bricks they call "history"
I think on some British tv show they said the weird banana-ham&hollandaise casserole is from the 50s.
But I looked up the picture, it's from something called "McCall's Great American Recipe Card Collection" and that was indeed published in the 70s, maybe the recipe is older.
9k subs in 3 months is great TBH 👌🙂👏 keep going ladies x
Well 1970's cookbooks were a lawless wasteland, and plantain and prosciutto is sort of acceptable. What the Cheez Whizz was doing on there is a mystery. At 06.40 Um, well, the Union Jack thing is an urban myth. Quite a modern one actually which has a lot to say about social media and none of it good. A Jack was a flag flown by a ship. The Union flag flown from a navy ship was a Union Jack. It fell into common useage and back in 1908 the admiralty told the government of the day, in relation to the appropriateness of the Union flag being called the Union Jack by people, "Meh, whatevs bbz xoxox" (I summarize) and ever since it hasn't mattered until, well, y'know Facebook and that thing of telling people things whether they're true or not. Anyway, love the channel.
Counties govern certain aspects of day to day life, such as roadworks cleaning, fire dept ambulances, and local taxes but the main law of the land is the same throughout Britain, Wales has its own Government,as does Scotland and part of Ireland, but they still rely on the Parliament of London England for monies towards larger costly exspenditure! It's complex.😳
Food shown at 15m 1972 omg 😱 yes I agree 🙃who would eat that. Love Map Men videos
I’m from Lincolnshire. It was a big deal when some of our county was taken away for Humberside.
I am so proud of you that your saying the Union Flag!
Yes the Union Flag was designated to ships only, but nowadays as the Union Jack is no longer used, the Union Flag /Jack are interchangable
Call me old fashioned, but I still seperate the two. The Union Flag in General and the Union Jack when flown from a ship. Might be my boy scout and naval background.
I live in the totally unimaginative county named Tyne and Wear, they lumped bits of Northumberland and Durham together, all that history from the ancient Northumbria and the land of " Prince Bishop's " co Durham from Roman's and Vikings and some how, we ended up sounding like an Estate Agent's.
Don't forget Alison the ancient counties were never abolished, so tell people you live in and are a proud lady of Northumberland or Durham. I always put the traditional county on the envelope when writing to my folks in Tynemouth, it's not necessary but makes me feel better.
@@peterellis1307 Unfortunately I've lived my life in the country of Tyne and Wear, so I can't really say I can claim either of these amazing counties but my family history is a mixture of both Northumberland and co Durham,that's what happens when your born on Tyneside.
still has more character than... West Midlands!
@@niallrussell7184 Think we both got jipped on our countries names. Funnily enough our Police Force is Northumbria Police, yet the Fire Brigade is Tyne & Wear, just to confuse us.
I live in Teesside/ Cleveland/ Tees Valley/ County Durham/ Whatever the drop down menu on the online shopping website says. It's different every damn time
Your right about the UNION JACK, because it is flown on a JACK STAFF on a ship.
Congrats on the 9k ladies love the show keep it going 😁
Shame they only showed people from Yorkshire who Americans will probably never have seen or heard of. They could have mentioned for example Dame Judi Dench, Sir Patrick Stewart.Sir Ben Kingsley, Charles Laughton. Maybe the Bronte's or William Wilberforce. We Yorkshire people don't really care what the authorities do with the map because as far as we are concerned the only map that counts is the first one they showed. In Yorkshire we also have Yorkshire Day on August 1st.
i would not eat that at gun point
Good morning natasha and Debbie,looking great 👍

Hiya Girls comment number 1! I hope your both well, I'm going to Google how many counties there are in the UK and the USA!
Hey there! 👋
@@TheNatashaDebbieShow This has just put the thought of I'm running for the county line in my head! From my childhood I can remember the Dukes of Hazzard does Hazzard County exist lol!

Something completely different for Freddie's video. Hope you check it out! ❤
These guys are great, their video's are funny and informative.
Counties are if anything equivalent to your state's, its not really broke down smaller than that. We do have parishes within counties and they have small councils, but they don't wield any power other than litter picking.. Tax is mainly the same everywhere including Wales Northern Ireland. And very similar in Scotland. The only tax that differs from town to town is council tax, which also differs from house size to apartment. This we pay to our local council for things like Rubbish (Garbage) collection and street cleaning...
Parish councils have some say on planning applications, particularly if they have created a pre existing expansion plan.
I'm a Town Councilor for Westgate-on-Sea (Town is the same as Parish in this instance) and, whilst we have employees who pick up litter, our 'biggest' thing is the fact that we run the local allotments. I'm also a District Councilor for Thanet District Council (Westgate is in Thanet) and the next level up is Kent County Council.
@@davidwallin7518 like I said, very little clout.
The correct pronunciation is “shuh” You learned it correctly. Ignore the video guy he’s confusing.

@@helenwood8482 no it is not
lol my cheeks are hurting at you taking the pi$$ at the banana, ham, cheese casserole
Thank you Ladies.x
A British county is probably more equivalent to a US state than a US county
That makes more sense
Definitely agree there
...and below County Council level we have District Councils (who sort out stuff like town planning, rubbish collection, street cleaning, parking etc) and Parish Councils (who have a limited input into planning, and tend to look after village halls, playing fields and other localised issues)...there is some degree of overlap between all three tiers of local government.
No they aren't, they can't make laws like states can. If anything Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland are more like states as they have their own governments like states. Counties are more like, well counties. Take lockdown for example, just like American states, the authority to shutdown lay with the devolved administrations in Wales, Northern Ireland and Scotland. Counties in England are ordered by Westminster/UK government, they have no say, they make no laws like individual states in the US do.
@@lauralishes1 I mean more in the way people think about them. People consider themselves part of their county in the UK in the same way that Americans consider themselves part of their state. Americans don’t really care that much about their county.
A country as in England, Scotland, Wales is more significant to its inhabitants than states are to the inhabitants of a US state.
Lovely Reaction Ladies and I Have Subscribed :)
You have just stumbled upon 2 of the funniest and wittiest and cleverest Guys out there with over 1 Million Subscribers which they have for a very good reason.
Their videos about The London Boroughs ( all 32 of them unlike the 5 Boroughs in New York ) is funny and informative but there are so many Jay Foreman videos especially when he teams with Mark and forms "Map Men". You weren't to know but after the advert, Jay sings a song that he created involving all the County names...:)
Well done on the 9k subs ladies glad your doing so well xx
From a British citizen that was hilarious. I was raised in Buckinghamshire and now live in Berkshire, specifically the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead.
