An American's perspective on what living in England is like! Living in England as an American (English culture, accent, music, food, lifestyle, etc.) #England #London #Britain
We don’t have Turkish communities or African communities in England like he says. There is no segregation, everyone lives next door to each other. It is not divided by colour or culture, but by wealth. There are Indian restaurants everywhere in every area as there are Kebab shops (Turkish) African restaurants are rare, but there is a lot of Caribbean food. Mostly Jamaican. Lots of Chinese, Thai, Italian, French etc. It is a real melting pot!
He was referring to London where there are different immigrant communities. There are Turkish communities in London; mostly in the north, and mostly Cypriot origin.
What he meant is there is some areas where you have more of one ethnic groups, yes we are we live along each other in a lot of areas. But Peckham has a big African Community so in West Thamesmead.. Brixton use to be a heaven Jamaica area, but that has changed.
@@JakeGutteridge The video says ‘British’ and British things like plugs, transport, food. He also says about ‘English’ accents but says Welsh and Scottish are one of those accents. A Scottish accent isn’t an English one.
@@chrisholland7367 - Nothing much to celebrate? Only the fact that the United Kingdom faithfully honoured its obligation, under international law, to uphold the neutrality and integrity of Belgium in the face of unprovoked German aggression, and that during "Haig's Hundred Days" it's citizen army soundly beat the professional soldiers of the Second Reich in the first all-arms battle in history, putting Prussian Militarism back in its box for the next twenty years?

I cannot have a roast without Mash, must be regional difference because I don't know anyone who doesn't have mash. Our carvery places also serve mash too
The thing to remember about Britain is it is much farther north then most realise . Glasgow is on the same latitude as Moscow. Where we are situated five weather systems converge . So there is a constant battle which one will become dominant . The best time to come over here and hopefully have good weather is the end of August and the beginning of September . But we can get sunny weather anytime of the year . In the summer it can get up to 80 f on a good day . Do bring a light waterproof and comfortable walking shoes with you . We do tend to walk a lot more then people do in the US. Don't spend all your time in London . The rest of the country is very very different . Hire a car , but book before you come over . Most cars here are manual gear box not automatic . If you are not used to a manual box , you will need to ask ahead for one . Ask for a Satnav , or sometimes called a GPS . It will be a great help , finding your way . Buy a little booklet called , The Highway Code . It's only a few bucks . Printed by the government and full of good advice about driving over here .

Great video. Insightful views. Did you spend a lot of time up north in England? Sounds like your weather experience was highly unusual. I live on the south coast and don’t wear a coat from May through to October. And in the winter a jumper and coat. If it drops below 0c is unusual. 7-8c in Dec or Jan is normal. Snows here once in about 5 years.
The poppy is to remember all the men and women who paid with lives in ALL the wars since the Boar War! Sometimes we still want to blow up the House of Parliament!
Remembrance Day was started after WWI. The first 'Poppy Day' was 11/11/1919. The Boer War predated this. However, we do commemorate those who have lost their lives because of war, both combatants and civilians.
It was an American lady called Moina Belle Michael who started the Flanders Field poppy trend. British troops visiting America brought poppy wreaths home with them.
it was about that. its now a lot more political than that. i always put money in the pot, but have stopped wearing a poppy (apart from if attending a service or the like), its just a fashion accessory for to many people. people start wearing poppies in october these days and its just not right. you cannot appear on TV without a poppy. i know its all for the cause, but you should do it because you want to not because you have to be seen to conform.
Cities have Cathedrals, if you are called a city it's because you have a Cathedral. I was born in Derby Derbyshire, We did not become a city until 1977. Even though we had a Cathedral. Sorry about using Cathedral a bit too much..🏍️😊😊
True, I know it(Country) is more popular in Scotland and Northern Ireland as that is where much of it originated ,but it has always been a fringe sphere of interest in England. You are spot on about British pop music.
2011 and 2012 had the wettest summers on record, in 300 years one after the other. It even momentarily rained on the opening ceremony and everyone bricking it as the roof only covered part of the audience, let alone the performers. Sorry about that!
Glad you enjoyed hanging out with "us Brits"! ⭐ ("Guy Fawkes" not "Guy Fox" re: "Bonfire Night" , re: "Remember, remember the fifth of November!") just read your subtitles and needed to tell you that we know Guy Fawkes, not Guy Fox, with his plans to blow up Parliament, many centuries ago. Did you find out his fate? Very grim.
You sound as if you were mostly in London which is on the east side of the country and can get very cold winds coming in from Russia. But it’s much milder on the west side where we have the Gulf Stream running up the coast. We have palm trees where l live in Cornwall.
Good Video, thanks. Remembrance day is officially 11th November, which is St. Martin's day or 'Martinmas' if you go back into Medieval English History. It is NOT a holiday. It Commemorates (does not celebrate) all those who sacrificed their lives in war, either side of a conflict. The Tomb of the unknown warrior is buried alongside the Kings and Queens of England, representing that they may have no name, but they are no less noble. Arlington Cemetery has a tomb of the Unknown Warrior, for all US Combatants in all conflicts. Arc de Triomphe in Paris houses the French equivalent. The poppy was chosen as a symbol from World War 1, because they tended to grow soonest after the bombs had stopped devouring a countryside? They are sold to raise money for veterans in all conflicts, irrespective of nationality, although obviously British Veterans have first dibs. If you want to learn more search 'David Railton' Army Chaplain, Tomb of the Unknown Warrior. Nearly off topic, you lived in Ashford, I got drunk in Ashford, one night back in early 1980s Tee hee hee.

We listen to good music. It's an eclectic country with eclectic taste. The fact that some are British artists doesnt matter, as long as they're good. Country isnt really that big in the UK compared to other genres. Cities have cathedrals and churches. Towns only have churches (a few exceptions to the rule)
One thing , we do Roast Potatoes with Roast Dinner, not mash as Americans do. A few other mistakes made but otherwise a great and honourable overview 😎
English people are individualists who do their own thing in their own way. Not all English people eat so called 'Sunday roasts.' Quite a number of them are vegetarians. Not all English people drink in pubs. Many of them never go anywhere near them. More pubs have closed down than those still existing.

@@LA-et2hg no he said British throughout this video. Plus he said he knows where people live in England because of their accent and then said Welsh/Scottish is one of them. Also Northen Ireland is in the UK as well which Americans forget.
Poor countries had to spice their foods to make them edible. The British were able to eat properly so didn’t need spices. Also the summer of 2012 was particularly wet. Fortunately the worst of it ended just as as the Olympics started. The various “cultures” are very new and happened without the permission of the real British people. To older people like me Britain has become a foreign country.
@@dereknewbury163 Well if being concerned about the level of immigration makes you a miserable fart that would cover 70 -80% of the population as shown in every opinion poll. Maybe you're lucky enough to live in an area that hasn't seen drastic changes to your community.
says food is plain then riffs on and on about how much variety and culture there is just in food hmmm also why do Americans thing they where here before everyone and started everything themselves
He started okay as he clearly visited London and the South East of England, if he'd had kept the video to his experiences on his visit to England he'd have been okay. He did start to refer to Scotland and Wales clearly using Britain and England interchangeably. So your right, he seems like a nice chap though

@@JakeGutteridge Why ? It is just a fact and it always has been. Perhaps some context helps: What is called 'The Queens English' is merely Oxford English officially, created by Oxford Academics around 100 years ago, to standardise English in the revolution in education then, in a drive to eradicate illiteracy. The Oxford English pronunciations are often used in teaching people learning English. Oxford English used the general 'upper class' stylistically of speaking. This is also called Received Proncouacntion or R.P. Only about 2% of people speak like this. Around 20% or a quarter, with similar close characteristics, mostly in the south / south east of England. The upper class dialect, is just an accent and dialect that evolved over time - it is just one. English is interesting due to its diversity, 60 accents and dialects in Britain at least, they say. This is the real English and how English evolved as a language is in all of those and is also the real English, all combined, not one tiny 2%. People confused being 'educated' with having R.P. which is a prejudice that surely has all but gone these days ?

British music is better, not to mention local, of course we play it.
Try not to do English accents - you mangle them badly.
