The eggs thing is a bit more complicated than they make it seem. A big part of the reason we don't allow egg washing is to ensure good animal care (you can't hide any evidence of poor conditions). What it also does is leave the cuticle intact (the coating around the egg that makes them waterproof (yes, despite what you are told in the US, eggs are actually waterproof). In an attempt to make up for this, US eggs get coated in an oil, but it doesn't really do the same job. This is also why you have to refrigerate your eggs. So far as salmonella goes, that is on the outside of the egg to start with. By washing, you make the egg porous, which is where the part about allowing contamination in comes from. Again, you have to make sure your eggs are cooked because of that salmonella risk. In the UK, we have a set of requirements that farmers must follow to be able to mark their eggs with the "Red Lion Mark". This is a quality assurance scheme that covers animal welfare, and conditions etc. We have mandatory flock vaccination, so your risk of salmonella is greatly reduced. But where a diseased animal does manage to slip through, that salmonella is on the outside of the shell. So as long as you practice safe handling, it really isn't an issue we have to worry about these days. But you do have to handle eggs carefully, and practice good hygiene to ensure your safety. This is all very similar to why we don't allow chicken to be bleached. Bleaching chicken doesn't mean poor conditions and bad hygiene practices; but it does allow people to hide poor conditions and bad hygiene practices when they do exist.
You explained it perfecty. I only have to add: In Europe we don't refrigerate eggs during transport because we don't wash the shell but USA have to do it because they wash it. If the temperature during transport it's below a specific mark in USA the eggs can get a bacterial transfer. Europe thinks it's more secure our way because it's more difficult (and have more ecological impact washing and refrigerating the eggs) to maintaing the eggs perfectly refrigerated during transport. The eggs are on a shell in the supermarket and we only refrigerate them at home.
@@vanesag.9863 Not sure about home refrigeration advice in other European countries; in the UK most people just keep them in a dark cupboard or pantry. Keeping them in the fridge destroys the flavour and affects coming/baking with them. There are a few people in the UK that seem to have picked up the habit of home refrigeration, and I'm putting that down to the influence of US TV/Film.
@@vanesag.9863- No commercial kitchen in the UK would refrigerate eggs and you shouldn't at home either. A couple of reasons: non-washed eggs have a 'much' longer shelf life, when stored in a cool, dark place (i.e. a pantry - think of Downton Abbey - LOL). Refrigerating can encourage 'egg sweating' (water droplets or condensation forming on the egg shells), not good! And finally, many recipes require cool to room temperature eggs to get the best results, especially in baking. People will often say 'our fridge came with an egg rack..?' - That often means it was an American or similar import brand; because egg racks are not supplied (as a standard in the UK), so as not to encourage refrigeration. EDIT: For spelling error.
You can put stamps on an envelope anywhere you wish in any orientation. The post office prefers that you use the top right corner. It is NOT treason. This is a myth

When the London Eye was opened in 2000 it was the tallest wheel in the world, since then 3 other wheels have surpassed that, but the London Eye is still the tallest cantilevered wheel in the world as it is only supported on one side whereas the other 3 are supported on an A-frame. But a cantilevered wheel is a lot more technical to achieve. British stamps are also stuck on the top right of the envelope and don't forget we invented the postage system. And the first stamp was called the Penny Black and not the Black Penny as this guy said. It was called that as the stamp used to cost a Penny and it was black. We don't have our name on our stamps because we were the first to send postage stamps so we didn't need to. The London Underground subway system is the oldest subway system in the world and Britain also invented trains.
In the USA, eggs are washed because salmonella can occur there due to the husbandry conditions. Once eggs are washed, the protective layer is gone and the pores are damaged. Therefore, from this point on, the eggs must be permanently stored in the refrigerator. In no other country are eggs sold refrigerated, it is simply not necessary if they are not washed.
Also, I think in the UK, simply the egg-laying chickens are vaccinated (E.g. against salmonella). So, there is not even a need to break the protective layer of the eggshell.

It is a 'style of tea', just NOT what we Brits consider a 'cuppa'. It does use loose tea or (more usually) tea bags. Simply; they put a tea bags in a pan of water with lots of sugar, bring to boil and 'steep' for about 5 minutes. Remove the tea bags (or sieve the loose tea), pour into jugs/pitchers and refrigerate with lemon slices and maybe a sprig of mint. To serve they just add lots of ice.
@@stewedfishproductions7959 well sugar is optional in the south where iced tea has always been prevalent (and lemon & mint, and is added after), you will always be given the choice of unsweet or sweet
PENNY BLACK was the 1st stamp and NOT the Black Penny ! We Scots have 2 national animals. The UNICORN and the HAGGIS ! If you wash/bleach eggs it destroys the outer protective layer. That's why American eggs are stored in the fridge aisle at the supermarket and ours are not. You CAN go to the cinema on a Sunday in Ireland !! Uber IS allowed in large cities including London but it is not a big thing in the rest of the country where it doesn't exist.
The thing about the eggs is the US washes their eggs stripping away the protective coating before they get to the customer, that's why Americans need to refrigerate their eggs and Europeans don't.

About that taxi test, its like that in many EU countries i guess, like here in Czech rep. There are laws about taxi drivers, complex test, car requirements. Uber doesn't give a F and nobody stopped them from violating laws and ruining taxi companies.. That's one of the ways how America invades countries where there is no oil :)
Uber tried to do the same in Denmark, but they violated way too many taxi laws to last. Then again.. It's just Denmark. No one gives a f*** enough about us to the point of actually wanting to invade our little speck of dirt on the globe, even if we had oil. (we had oil, but gave away our claim to it, practically for free.. We're kind of dumb too apparently)
Switzerland just did. Uber now has millions to pay in salaries and social deductions following a federal court judgment end of last year. Uber drivers are now considered employees and in cantons that have a minimal wage like Geneva, Uber must pay said wage. Otherwise, they are bound by a specific "convention collective"
You also get a card from the Monarch for a 50th Wedding Anniversary, I organised one for my parents last year and it was hand signed by the late Queen. The birthday cards come automatically as far as I know, but you need to apply for anniversary cards and send a scan of the marriage certificate.
Or something like “watcha Harry”. The word Hello came in with the Hanoverians.. the official language has never been French it was Norman French which is different.
The "predominant" language of England was never French!! After the Norman conquest in 1066, until the 14th century, French was the language of the nobility, Latin remaining the language of the church and of law. Common folk spoke either Middle English or a version of today's Welsh. The egg thing is throughout Europe. The US requirement to wash eggs means the natural protective membrane is washed off - which is why eggs have to be refrigerated there.
HI RYAN DEBRA HERE FROM A CHILLY SOUTH WALES The narrator said the name of the stamp all wrong, it was not a black penny it was a "PENNY BLACK, the first stamp ever.

Great Britain is actually just the name of the Island that includes England, Wales and Scotland. Ireland is an island all on it's own. The UK is the sovereign nation that governs the islands. The country's official long name is: "The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland". It's kinda like how Hawaii the state is separated from the Hawaiian Islands. The State of Hawaii encompasses nearly (as in, not all of) the entire archipelago known as the Hawaiian Islands. The Island of Hawai'i (also called "The Big Island") is the official name of the largest island in the archipelago while the most popular island is called Oahu, yet the entire archipelago and the US-State is named Hawaii
I'm from Wales,I was born in Wales & even I can't pronounce that Long place name lol.🏴😂 The UK also have to put the stamp in the top right corner.
Lobscouse. Interesting! Labskaus ist what we call it in Germany. It's a traditional dish from northern Germany. The sailors in the past had few teeth due to a lack of vitamin c during their time on board of the ships.They couldn't eat proper food, so they were served this mushy something with mashed potatoes with beetroot and beef that was mashed into it.

Eggs are laid with a natural coating on the shell called the “bloom” or “cuticle”. This coating is the first line of defense in keeping air and bacteria out of the egg. Eggshells are porous, so when you wash them you’re removing that natural barrier.
Only 'Big Ben', the largest of the FIVE bells in the bell tower has a name. The others are numbered 1 through 4. 'Big Ben' was cast in the Whitechapel Bell Foundry, but sadly the foundry closed in 2017, after nearly 450 years of bell-making (250 years at its Whitechapel, premises in London). The bells weigh: 'Big Ben' - weighs 13.7 tonnes, the hammer (alone) is 200kg '1` - The first quarter bell weighs 1.1 tonnes '2' - The second quarter bell weighs 1.3 tonnes '3' - The third quarter bell weighs 1.7 tonnes '4' - The fourth quarter bell weighs 4 tonnes You can hear AND see the bells chiming here on the YT - UK Parliament Channel: th-cam.com/video/wqslA_CKub8/w-d-xo.html

@@DeeFourCee yeh it was james I in 1603, previously known as James VI before he took the throne of England. I did a bit of looking up about the chain, I was mistaken about the metaphor behind it, it is instead to symbolise the taming of a unicorn as unshackled it is a dangerous beast and only Scottish kings were powerful enough to tame it. It was only a quick look up so could still be wrong.
Regarding eggs, washing them, or more importantly, using chemicals to wash them, (as in the USA), destroys the natural protective element in the shell, so the American way turns something naturally well protected into something that has to be refrigerated, and open to infection as stated in the video 🙋♀️🇬🇧🤪
The J.K.Rowling not-cryptic pen-name came into existence to make an "illusion". In english it is impossible to recognize who is "he" and who is "she" just by the surname. And there is no first name, just an initial. But it would look strange to have there just one initial, so she borrowd the name of her grandmother Kathleen to make the other initial (because she doesn't have a middle name). So there is just a surname and initials which leaves a lots of unanswered question about the identity of the author. It was an intention by the publisher to hide it on the book cover. It seems kind of riddiculous now, when she is famous and known. But back then when the first book was being prepared... Well, some just thought that it would be better for the book if it is not obvious that author is a woman. It was just a trick to support the selling of a book in fear it may flop. Again, it seems riddiculous now, but back then she was trying to offer her first book to a publisher for a year and she was refused by twelve publishers. So this is the strange history of a strange pen-name.
when she was accepted by Bloomsbury, I am told publishers, who had turned her down, came back to her and said that they would take her book and give her more money. JK said no I'll stay with the publisher who was first to accept me.
J.K.Rowling. Rowling is pronounced Ro to rhyme with Go not to rhyme with how. Welsh words which start with Ll are not pronounced with the usual L sound. It is pronounced Ccla (but more Welsh-sounding😊) Not the Black Penny stamp !! - instead the Penny Black. The large bell named "Big Ben" in the Elizabeth Tower, was cast in the same factory (in Whitechaple, East London) as Anerica's "Liberty Bell" (& both bells gave the same crack in them which affects / lowers their timbre). ..."the more you know" ... ?! 😊❤️🖖 (Edited: to correct missed typos😕)

6:00 fun fact, anything found on the London Underground is taken to the Lost Property office, and is stored for up to 3 months; anything which has not been claimed within 3 months is disposed of, donated, or sold. So TfL [Transport for London, the Tube operator] does in fact make money selling things like umbrellas. The latest public data covers 2020/21, when 114,858 items total were found including 368 laptops, 9,407 phones, 17,945 bags, 26,822 books, and 11,120 items of clothing among others; from those, 22,089 items were returned. There was also £126,102 in cash found in those items, and a further £163,858 was raised from the sale of anything not claimed. So yea it all adds up. The super crazy thing is that these figures are low because of the reduced tourist numbers from the period thanks to Covid restrictions. In 2018/19 by comparison 333,921 items were found, almost 3x as many.
Interesting fact about Northern Ireland is that you can hold two different passports for the one country if you an NI resident, a UK passport and an Irish passport.

I'm from a kingdom as well (Denmark)- and the name of the princesses were quite popular - in my class there were 3 Anne-Marie's - and 2 Margrethe's. - The current queen is Queen Margrethe II and her sister Anne-Marie - exiled queen of Greece. Queen Elizabeth's mother was called Elizabeth - therefore the elder was called the queen mother -.Her mother in law was called Mary - Queen Mary - mother to King George VI. Parents of the current Queen. - Who sadly passed away. Our kings alternate between Christian and Frederik. Our next king will be Frederik X, and his son will be Chistian XI. My uncle was named Frederik - and my brother Christian!
The official language of England from 1066 to 1362 was not French. The King and Nobles spoke French; the rest of us peasants spoke Middle English the name scholars give to the language that evolved into modern English. The King and the Nobles spoke French because they were French, either born in France directly or descended from the French who conquered England. They stopped speaking French after they began to lose most of their land in France to the French King, even then it took multiple generations. The French word influence on English are typically Political or Culinary; and are higher status words than the Anglo-Saxon equivalents. This is because the elite spoke French so politics was in French and they ate a Banquet of Cuisine, such as Beef, Pork and Mutton. Most peasants seldom ate meat at all and if they did it was likely a Chicken. Which is why the Animal and its meat use the same word still, but we don't say we're eating Cow, Pig or Sheep. The middle English speakers only looked after the animals for their lords, they didn't get to eat the meat. Academic words also are likely to have a French influence, but I think that came much later The 30% of words being of French origin (or Latin) is true, but it doesn't necessary mean that 30% of spoken English is French. Some words are used more frequently than others, I eat dinner every day but I don't think I've ever had a Banquet.
The police have no powers of arrest in the Houses (plural) of Parliament. It's a Royal Palace.

They can be assisted by the doorkeepers, badge messengers, and Yeomen of the Guard, all of who are recruited from military veterans having attained the rank of at least Warrant Officer 2nd Class.

What major historical event happened at the beginning of the 11th century? The battle of hastings. Englands crown was taken by a French bastard called William the bastard. William then became known as William the Conqueror. As far as I understand it, William then turned , quite literally, almost.ALL of Englands ancient families; landowners /gentry/Counts off their property , and installed his own men in those positions instead. French was now the language of the royal court and of the newly installed aristocracy; "everyone who was anyone" was a Frenchman. The rest still spoke English and English, despite the odds, prevailed.
The Statute forbidding Bearing of Armour or Coming Armed to Parliament Act 1313 was enacted in 1313 during the reign of Edward II of England. It states "that in all Parliaments, Treatises and other Assemblies, which should be made in the Realm of England for ever, that every Man shall come without all Force and Armour". Edward's enactment of the 1313 statute represented his fifth attempt to prevent the nobles' from using the threat of armed force as a means of coercing parliament.
The British library is the largest by catalogue in the world. Eggs in the uk are not washed and don’t need to be cooled, eggs can also be white in the UK, their colour is based on the breed of chicken.

That 'fact' about upside-down stamps is NOT true. It does not matter so long as there IS one. That translation of Llanfairpwll. . . . is not quite right. It is fine as far as it goes but the END of it (after the St Tisilio) is ". . .and the red cave," The first stamp was the Penny Black, NOT the black penny as stated. And as UK was the forst country to use pre-paid stamps, that is the reason UK does not need its name on them. It is also illegal to vacuum your house on a Sunday.
It was and still is considered treason to hang the union flag (union jack) upside down, it's still a crime in the uk and commonwealth. countries, not that you'd be hung drawn and quartered today. It means you are insulting the monarch. However hanging it upside down is also a sign of distress.
The stamps thing is infuriating. The monarchy do not care about the orientation of stamps. They would look weird upside down but that's about it. And the first stamp was the Penny Black, not the black penny. The armour thing, I believe, was a law basically to stop MPs (nobles at the time) resisting being called by the monarch. It is not a security thing, which is probably covered by a host of other laws designed to stop armed nutters wandering the building and putting people in danger. It remains on the books, probably because it is not worth the effort of repealing. I'm no legal expert, but I should think that any prosecution for breaching that law would be unlikely to meet the requirement of being "in the public interest" to pursue. But until someone does it, we will never know.
"Are you all right?" as a greeting to customers in shops etc by people in the service industry in the UK has come about due to the poor standard of training of staff in the UK. In America, where the staff are dependent often on substantial tip to supplement their earnings, such sloppy customer service does not happen. If a shopkeeper etc in Britain greets me with "are you alright?" I either do not reply to their question or I might say "Yes I think I am alright, but you will have to ask someone who knows me for their opinion". This usually results in the shopkeeper, bar steward etc giving me a quizzical look. Not having this greeting in the US is something you definitely do better than the Brits.
Fun fact about UK, it is still law (hasn't changed but of course not forced) a public transport, Taxi, Busses etc. They need a bail of hay to feed the horses.

We don't have our name on our stamps because we were the first to send postage stamps so we didn't need to.
The London Underground subway system is the oldest subway system in the world and Britain also invented trains.
In the USA, eggs are washed because salmonella can occur there due to the husbandry conditions. Once eggs are washed, the protective layer is gone and the pores are damaged. Therefore, from this point on, the eggs must be permanently stored in the refrigerator. In no other country are eggs sold refrigerated, it is simply not necessary if they are not washed.
An excellent comment! Very well explained.
"In no other country are eggs sold refrigerated" - sorry but that statement is incorrect. In Denmark our eggs are sold refrigerated.
Also, I think in the UK, simply the egg-laying chickens are vaccinated (E.g. against salmonella). So, there is not even a need to break the protective layer of the eggshell.
It's not just those in England who get a card from the reigning monarch but all commonwealth countries...but it has to be requested....one Aussie guy got one just before the Queen died 🇦🇺🐨
London's original Giant Wheel opened in 1895 and closed in 1907. That's 12 years, not 22 as stated in the rather annoying video you watched!
'Great Britain' is the geographical name for the largest island of the British Isles.
Apparently US has much more salmonella from eggs than the UK or the rest of Europe where eggs are not washed either.
Dude you have to react to cheese rolling and the Atherstone ball game
The thing what you are referring to as "sweet iced tea" is definitely not a tea
how is it not tea? would iced coffee not be considered coffee?
It is a 'style of tea', just NOT what we Brits consider a 'cuppa'. It does use loose tea or (more usually) tea bags. Simply; they put a tea bags in a pan of water with lots of sugar, bring to boil and 'steep' for about 5 minutes. Remove the tea bags (or sieve the loose tea), pour into jugs/pitchers and refrigerate with lemon slices and maybe a sprig of mint. To serve they just add lots of ice.
@@stewedfishproductions7959 well sugar is optional in the south where iced tea has always been prevalent (and lemon & mint, and is added after), you will always be given the choice of unsweet or sweet
PENNY BLACK was the 1st stamp and NOT the Black Penny !
We Scots have 2 national animals. The UNICORN and the HAGGIS !
If you wash/bleach eggs it destroys the outer protective layer. That's why American eggs are stored in the fridge aisle at the supermarket and ours are not.
You CAN go to the cinema on a Sunday in Ireland !!
Uber IS allowed in large cities including London but it is not a big thing in the rest of the country where it doesn't exist.
The thing about the eggs is the US washes their eggs stripping away the protective coating before they get to the customer, that's why Americans need to refrigerate their eggs and Europeans don't.
There are eight stories of environmentally controlled basements under the British Library, there is a conveyor system that delivers requested books to a central retrievals area.

fact 10 about stamps is more an urban myth it's not technically illegal to place a stamp upside down and we do place stamps in the top right corner.

About that taxi test, its like that in many EU countries i guess, like here in Czech rep. There are laws about taxi drivers, complex test, car requirements. Uber doesn't give a F and nobody stopped them from violating laws and ruining taxi companies.. That's one of the ways how America invades countries where there is no oil :)
Uber tried to do the same in Denmark, but they violated way too many taxi laws to last. Then again.. It's just Denmark. No one gives a f*** enough about us to the point of actually wanting to invade our little speck of dirt on the globe, even if we had oil. (we had oil, but gave away our claim to it, practically for free.. We're kind of dumb too apparently)
Switzerland just did. Uber now has millions to pay in salaries and social deductions following a federal court judgment end of last year. Uber drivers are now considered employees and in cantons that have a minimal wage like Geneva, Uber must pay said wage. Otherwise, they are bound by a specific "convention collective"
Seriously can't get over how beautiful Ryan is. Especially those amazing eyes.
You also get a card from the Monarch for a 50th Wedding Anniversary, I organised one for my parents last year and it was hand signed by the late Queen. The birthday cards come automatically as far as I know, but you need to apply for anniversary cards and send a scan of the marriage certificate.
Australians also get the letter from the Queen when they turn 100. Not sure if the King is continuing this tradition..
Of course it will continue.

Or something like “watcha Harry”. The word Hello came in with the Hanoverians.. the official language has never been French it was Norman French which is different.
For a start the map at the beginning isn't of the UK, it includes Ireland and the Isle of Man (a British territory but not part of the UK)
"Alright?" is just the new "How do you do?".
Which is so rarely used... XD Almost never. :D
@@marikothecheetah9342 Hence why it was superseded. ;-)
The "predominant" language of England was never French!! After the Norman conquest in 1066, until the 14th century, French was the language of the nobility, Latin remaining the language of the church and of law. Common folk spoke either Middle English or a version of today's Welsh. The egg thing is throughout Europe. The US requirement to wash eggs means the natural protective membrane is washed off - which is why eggs have to be refrigerated there.
G'day Washed eggs need to be stored chilled and have a short shelf life, Unwashed eggs can be left on a shelf for months and will be OK.
It would never cross my mind to drink sweet, iced tea…..always Yorkshire tea, hot, milk, no sugar 😂
And a spoonful of honey
Yea. I don’t like sweet tea in general, and those ice teas in supermarkets are awful. I usually only drink herbal tea
Yorkshire tea is like wee wee to me. Try some N. Irish tea like punjana.

The narrator said the name of the stamp all wrong, it was not a black penny it was a "PENNY BLACK, the first stamp ever.
That would be a nice stamp questions for "who wants to be a millionaire": a) penny white b) penny blue c) penny black d) penny red ...!? o_O (ps: "i'ld like to call my uncle who is working in a post office...").
Great Britain is actually just the name of the Island that includes England, Wales and Scotland. Ireland is an island all on it's own. The UK is the sovereign nation that governs the islands. The country's official long name is: "The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland". It's kinda like how Hawaii the state is separated from the Hawaiian Islands. The State of Hawaii encompasses nearly (as in, not all of) the entire archipelago known as the Hawaiian Islands. The Island of Hawai'i (also called "The Big Island") is the official name of the largest island in the archipelago while the most popular island is called Oahu, yet the entire archipelago and the US-State is named Hawaii
I'm from Wales,I was born in Wales & even I can't pronounce that Long place name lol.🏴😂 The UK also have to put the stamp in the top right corner.
Lobscouse. Interesting! Labskaus ist what we call it in Germany. It's a traditional dish from northern Germany. The sailors in the past had few teeth due to a lack of vitamin c during their time on board of the ships.They couldn't eat proper food, so they were served this mushy something with mashed potatoes with beetroot and beef that was mashed into it. Looks like somebody had thrown up, tastes amazing. Had no Idea that it is known in the UK and it is even pronounced the same.
At first glance The British Eggs appear to be a different shape to American Eggs but, apparently,it is an elliptical illusion...

People in the UK are not the highest consumers of tea in the world. We are beind Ireland and Turkey which is the actual highest.
Because eggs in UK are not washed they can safely be stored unrefrigerated. It is because of the washing that eggs in USA must be refrigerated.
The shortest flight can be done in 1.30 with a good wind
Eggs are laid with a natural coating on the shell called the “bloom” or “cuticle”. This coating is the first line of defense in keeping air and bacteria out of the egg. Eggshells are porous, so when you wash them you’re removing that natural barrier.
It is Europe as well for eggs not being washed.
Eggshell is pourous, so if you wash the egg it contaminates the egg.
Only 'Big Ben', the largest of the FIVE bells in the bell tower has a name. The others are numbered 1 through 4. 'Big Ben' was cast in the Whitechapel Bell Foundry, but sadly the foundry closed in 2017, after nearly 450 years of bell-making (250 years at its Whitechapel, premises in London).
The bells weigh:
'Big Ben' - weighs 13.7 tonnes, the hammer (alone) is 200kg
'1` - The first quarter bell weighs 1.1 tonnes
'2' - The second quarter bell weighs 1.3 tonnes
'3' - The third quarter bell weighs 1.7 tonnes
'4' - The fourth quarter bell weighs 4 tonnes
You can hear AND see the bells chiming here on the YT - UK Parliament Channel:

The unicorn is the animal of scotland and the lion the English royal family. That’s why they british coat of arms features a unicorn and a lion because our crowns were unified
And if you notice the unicorn is shackled, supposedly representative of the English subduing and ruling over Scotland.
@@That_Scots_Guy but it was us scots that actually conquered England by our king taking their throne
@@DeeFourCee yeh it was james I in 1603, previously known as James VI before he took the throne of England. I did a bit of looking up about the chain, I was mistaken about the metaphor behind it, it is instead to symbolise the taming of a unicorn as unshackled it is a dangerous beast and only Scottish kings were powerful enough to tame it. It was only a quick look up so could still be wrong.

Regarding eggs, washing them, or more importantly, using chemicals to wash them, (as in the USA), destroys the natural protective element in the shell, so the American way turns something naturally well protected into something that has to be refrigerated, and open to infection as stated in the video 🙋♀️🇬🇧🤪

The J.K.Rowling not-cryptic pen-name came into existence to make an "illusion". In english it is impossible to recognize who is "he" and who is "she" just by the surname. And there is no first name, just an initial. But it would look strange to have there just one initial, so she borrowd the name of her grandmother Kathleen to make the other initial (because she doesn't have a middle name). So there is just a surname and initials which leaves a lots of unanswered question about the identity of the author. It was an intention by the publisher to hide it on the book cover. It seems kind of riddiculous now, when she is famous and known. But back then when the first book was being prepared... Well, some just thought that it would be better for the book if it is not obvious that author is a woman. It was just a trick to support the selling of a book in fear it may flop. Again, it seems riddiculous now, but back then she was trying to offer her first book to a publisher for a year and she was refused by twelve publishers.
So this is the strange history of a strange pen-name.
when she was accepted by Bloomsbury, I am told publishers, who had turned her down, came back to her and said that they would take her book and give her more money. JK said no I'll stay with the publisher who was first to accept me.

6:00 fun fact, anything found on the London Underground is taken to the Lost Property office, and is stored for up to 3 months; anything which has not been claimed within 3 months is disposed of, donated, or sold. So TfL [Transport for London, the Tube operator] does in fact make money selling things like umbrellas.
The latest public data covers 2020/21, when 114,858 items total were found including 368 laptops, 9,407 phones, 17,945 bags, 26,822 books, and 11,120 items of clothing among others; from those, 22,089 items were returned. There was also £126,102 in cash found in those items, and a further £163,858 was raised from the sale of anything not claimed. So yea it all adds up. The super crazy thing is that these figures are low because of the reduced tourist numbers from the period thanks to Covid restrictions. In 2018/19 by comparison 333,921 items were found, almost 3x as many.
Interesting fact about Northern Ireland is that you can hold two different passports for the one country if you an NI resident, a UK passport and an Irish passport.

I'm from a kingdom as well (Denmark)- and the name of the princesses were quite popular - in my class there were 3 Anne-Marie's - and 2 Margrethe's. - The current queen is Queen Margrethe II and her sister Anne-Marie - exiled queen of Greece. Queen Elizabeth's mother was called Elizabeth - therefore the elder was called the queen mother -.Her mother in law was called Mary - Queen Mary - mother to King George VI. Parents of the current Queen. - Who sadly passed away. Our kings alternate between Christian and Frederik. Our next king will be Frederik X, and his son will be Chistian XI. My uncle was named Frederik - and my brother Christian!
The official language of England from 1066 to 1362 was not French. The King and Nobles spoke French; the rest of us peasants spoke Middle English the name scholars give to the language that evolved into modern English. The King and the Nobles spoke French because they were French, either born in France directly or descended from the French who conquered England. They stopped speaking French after they began to lose most of their land in France to the French King, even then it took multiple generations.
The French word influence on English are typically Political or Culinary; and are higher status words than the Anglo-Saxon equivalents. This is because the elite spoke French so politics was in French and they ate a Banquet of Cuisine, such as Beef, Pork and Mutton. Most peasants seldom ate meat at all and if they did it was likely a Chicken. Which is why the Animal and its meat use the same word still, but we don't say we're eating Cow, Pig or Sheep. The middle English speakers only looked after the animals for their lords, they didn't get to eat the meat. Academic words also are likely to have a French influence, but I think that came much later
The 30% of words being of French origin (or Latin) is true, but it doesn't necessary mean that 30% of spoken English is French. Some words are used more frequently than others, I eat dinner every day but I don't think I've ever had a Banquet.
The police have no powers of arrest in the Houses (plural) of Parliament. It's a Royal Palace. The only three people who can arrest there are the Gentleman Usher of the Black Rod (in the Lords); the Serjeant-at-Arms (in the Commons), and the King. They can be assisted by the doorkeepers, badge messengers, and Yeomen of the Guard, all of who are recruited from military veterans having attained the rank of at least Warrant Officer 2nd Class.

What major historical event happened at the beginning of the 11th century?
The battle of hastings.
Englands crown was taken by a French bastard called William the bastard. William then became known as William the Conqueror.
As far as I understand it, William then turned , quite literally, almost.ALL of Englands ancient families; landowners /gentry/Counts off their property , and installed his own men in those positions instead.
French was now the language of the royal court and of the newly installed aristocracy; "everyone who was anyone" was a Frenchman.
The rest still spoke English and English, despite the odds, prevailed.
The Statute forbidding Bearing of Armour or Coming Armed to Parliament Act 1313 was enacted in 1313 during the reign of Edward II of England. It states "that in all Parliaments, Treatises and other Assemblies, which should be made in the Realm of England for ever, that every Man shall come without all Force and Armour". Edward's enactment of the 1313 statute represented his fifth attempt to prevent the nobles' from using the threat of armed force as a means of coercing parliament.

The first stamp was the Penny Black, NOT the black penny as stated. And as UK was the forst country to use pre-paid stamps, that is the reason UK does not need its name on them.
It is also illegal to vacuum your house on a Sunday.
It was and still is considered treason to hang the union flag (union jack) upside down, it's still a crime in the uk and commonwealth. countries, not that you'd be hung drawn and quartered today. It means you are insulting the monarch. However hanging it upside down is also a sign of distress.
The stamps thing is infuriating. The monarchy do not care about the orientation of stamps. They would look weird upside down but that's about it. And the first stamp was the Penny Black, not the black penny.
The armour thing, I believe, was a law basically to stop MPs (nobles at the time) resisting being called by the monarch. It is not a security thing, which is probably covered by a host of other laws designed to stop armed nutters wandering the building and putting people in danger.
It remains on the books, probably because it is not worth the effort of repealing. I'm no legal expert, but I should think that any prosecution for breaching that law would be unlikely to meet the requirement of being "in the public interest" to pursue. But until someone does it, we will never know.
"Are you all right?" as a greeting to customers in shops etc by people in the service industry in the UK has come about due to the poor standard of training of staff in the UK. In America, where the staff are dependent often on substantial tip to supplement their earnings, such sloppy customer service does not happen.
If a shopkeeper etc in Britain greets me with "are you alright?" I either do not reply to their question or I might say "Yes I think I am alright, but you will have to ask someone who knows me for their opinion". This usually results in the shopkeeper, bar steward etc giving me a quizzical look. Not having this greeting in the US is something you definitely do better than the Brits.
Fun fact about UK, it is still law (hasn't changed but of course not forced) a public transport, Taxi, Busses etc. They need a bail of hay to feed the horses.
