I am so overwhelmed with such kind and thoughtful comments! Thank you so much for all the support these last few years and here's to more silly videos in the future!!
As with any situation, there are always going to be a few idiots and attention seekers who try to bring people down. The vast majority of us who follow and watch your videos do so because we enjoy them.
Thank you Alana am hoping is one L lol as i get annoyed with my real name being Allan and having to spell it my whole life asd 2 Ls lol is brilliant seeing someone tryoing snacks for the first tiem i grew up with and remembering the first time feeling
Please don’t read the comments!!! Strange I know this is in your comments. It will drive you crazy if you take the comments to heart, it’s so easy to be mean if you’re anonymous. Stay happy
Your videos are brilliant. Ive never commented before as i don't see the point. As you quite rightly point out if you dont like something simply switch it off. However after watching this i feel i needed to say how great i think u and your videos are. Some of the comments that you have received are shocking and stupid. Hope we can continue hearing from you as the videos crack me up.
On behalf of all the decent people of England, you are very welcome here, and I love your videos, its so fun seeing someone try/learn about things that I've grown up with!
Here's a compliment from one of the creepy old men of the internet (and my creepy old wife). We have been following your commentary for some time in preparation for our upcoming trip to England and Scotland (now only two weeks away). We have found your cultural insights to be invaluable. It's not our first trip over there, but any knowledge of local customs will surely be very useful. We enjoy your style of presentation. Keep up the good work. We'd bring you some Cheetos, but aren't going to be in Kent. Mike and Barbara North Carolina
I hardly ever leave a comment on TH-cam. Now I've seen this, I'm making an exception. Your videos are brilliant. Please don't change and especially, don't let these silly people upset you. They are jealous of your popularity, wit, beauty and intelligence. P.S. We do care.
Never before in the history of mankind, has it been so easy for us to connect with people on the other side of the world. How sad that people have to be so negative and nasty. It's a good thing that you have such a good handle on life. Why can't people just listen to another persons viewpoint without being so judgemental? Bless you for being such a sweet girl. X
I honestly believe that it's BECAUSE we are more connected than ever before that things are going from bad to worse in World Politics. I am English but it's got to the point where I actually root AGAINST England in the Euros. I live in the Netherlands for work but am currently staying in England while the pandemic rages to care for an elderly relative. While I have been living abroad, the English seem to have slowly become more and more like a bunch of racist, flag waving, 'me-first', Right Wing dicks. It saddens me. People who used to go through life with ignorant nationalistic views in private, now have the internet to embolden them, and this previously background casual bigotry has now become their primary passion. The England flag has been appropriated by these Ukip/Boris loving neofascist hobby-racists, and as they all support England and have a massive superiority complex, it would actually cheer me up to see them get knocked down a peg or two. To anyone wanting to call me a self hating traitor.... NOPE. It's you I hate for destroying my country's international reputation and turning it into an insular, isolationist, inward looking backwater of Europe.
This is actually 1 of my favourite video's that you've done. The people posting those comments are idiots, but as a Brit, I gotta say I truly appreciated your sarcastic responses. 😊
Yeah, SO TRUE - even just to comment in youtube too sometimes !! :P I definitely couldnt put myself out there, I would need seperate therapy just to handle it, and I mean on a daily basis, just no couldnt do it. But she's so pretty, she could just smile at the camera and get views. Her humour for a pretty girl.I.think is the hook and relatability for me at least. Even though we have nothing of life circumstances in common, I am anxious and also chatty... Just that she has journalism experience so it's good she now has an outlet for the skill set while working a mundane job unrelated to her area of study/educational background. She said she hated it but look she can definitely speak on camera and video herself so that is heroism for me
What an excellent episode. I commend your positive attitude. I really like the way you hold up a mirror to British (of course we're all British) society and show us as others see us. Please keep up your good work.
Just keep up the relentless positivity and quirky outlook on life - can't understand some of those comments you received, just proves the failure of care in the community. Ignore the shit and be yourself, a rising star of TH-cam.
Haters will always hate especially when faced with someone radiating such genuinely good vibes. I find your videos uplifting with this random chatty feel, like sitting across the table from an always upbeat friend down the pub.
I stumbled across your channel about a month ago. I personally find your content very interesting and fun. It's interesting to understand the perspective of a Canadian living in the UK and the difference between the two countries. In fact I'm planning on going to the USA/Canada at some point in the next couple of years and I have learnt the different termonalagy peopls use in the two countries etc which has been helpful. Ignore the haters their just bitter and sad. The fact that people genuinely get angry over dumb shit like calling us English/British I don't get offended because why would i. Keep doing your thing 👊
As an "old man" (67) I find your videos entertaining, lively and a breath of fresh air. Don't let the very few stupid twats posting ignorant comments get you down. Best wishes and here's looking forward to more stupendous vids in the future!
I am English, born in London, and my passport says "Nationality : British Citizen". So you are clearly right about being both English and British. Simple, really.
I grew up in London but lived my teenage years and adult life in Canada. Just want to encourage you. I find your channel informative, funny and respite from all the angst out there. Ignore, delete and block the negativity - you have now a legion of positive viewers. Onward and upward.
I'm British moving the southern Ontario soon. I like you're channel! You'll always get people who hate, don't sweat the small stuff... Keep doing what you love and what we love!
Thèse people are so negative about everything and everybody, just be as you are and please keep making these vids.These people are not worth even talking about them we all love you.
I am neither from England or Canada. But I still enjoy the videos. I found your channel by coincidence, when I was searching for vids of England. I find this channel relaxing and down to earth. I enjoy watching and learning about England, aswell as just follow you in general. My husband and I have often talked about visiting or moving to England at some point (obviously, visiting first and THEN decide). It is sad some people have to write bad stuff everywhere. I have a friend, who started her own channel. Just for fun, just because she wanted to do it. And before she really got started, people hated so much on her, that she decided to stop. Something she enjoyed they managed to ruin, because it (apparently?) was so important for them to write their negative thoughts. It's not even constructive criticism - it is only destructive. So thinking about my friend...I am so happy you are able to go on! That is inspiring. :)
Be sure to take a very full tour before you make up your mind. I'm sure some people would tell you there's nowhere better than Shropshire or there's nowhere better than Berkshire or there's nowhere better than Hounslow or there's nowhere better than Dartford or there's nowhere better than Derbyshire or there's nowhere better than Cheshire and I know there are people who'd tell you there's nowhere better than Yorkshire, but do give Devon, Cornwall, central Wales, Lancashire, Cumbria, Banff, Stirling, Elgin and Forres, Cambridgeshire and the rest a look. Maybe don't bother looking at Middlebrough, Darlington or Colchester, though. Two of them have houses for sale for under £10,000 and one of them's downwind of London nad inhabited by Essex girls and Military Prison staff.
Love your videos but don't normally comment... Just want to say that you're a joy to watch for all kinds of reasons, from your quirky observations to your wry sense of humour. Thank you for all the free entertainment! I despair that you have to wade through all this garbage and admire you for talking about it. Btw, I was born and raised in Kent but now live in Newcastle which I recommend visiting: beautiful countryside and grand architecture, not too dissimilar to Bath. Canada is #1 on my list of countries to visit!
Well said Seth 😀 why do people think it's ok to post such offensive rubbish ? Btw I agree ...Newcastle is a great place ( I live in Manchester which is also a top city)
Hearing "Hi everyone, it's me," (every Tuesday) lifts my spirit just a little, and can put a smile on my face... Probably because I really enjoy watching your videos. Sometimes I just listen to your videos while I multi-task, with my eyes elsewhere.
One of the only smaller youtubers I'm subscribed to. You make great and honest content, with funny dry humour. People on the internet are weird. Bit embarrassed to be British.
Sorry to hear this. Hope you're not discouraged. Your presence in England is a compliment, and your content is funny and informative. What more could anybody ask for? Pay any non-constructive/negative voices no heed.
I cannot understand people who post insults and abuse on social media - especially when aimed at someone they have never met, and who posts mainly for the fun of communicating. At the risk of sounding like a creepy old man, I love your videos, your outlook on life, and your communication style. More, please (especially the hilarious 'I can't make that' series)!
Maybe because they want other people to feel good about themselves and spread positivity? Because the person in question said they get lots of nasty comments so it's kind to leave some positive ones to affirm the fact that there are more fans than haters? Not sure what your point is.
I loved this video! I love basically all your videos, except for one vlog you made. I love your humour and your style, your genuineness. And to top it off, you are a beautiful lass. Keep it up, Alana!
Vast majority of people are good and give you good comments. Unfortunately going to be a few saddos too, I hope you don't let these people get you down. Keep up the good work.
I did not expect to enjoy your channel as much as I do. Thanks for being yourself and for being so decent about those who clearly are not. Your videos are fun and informative. Keep going!
first off alanna, I would like to aplogise on behalf of myself as a "british" citizen, yes people I am "british", but also scottish, proud to be both!, and express how ashamed, dissapointed and angry I am in my so called fellow countryman/woman,and all others who have directed such vile posionus comments to you. Secondly, love your videos Alanna, always very insightful, and though provoking and always enjoyable. I am so glad you posted this video to call out and highlight these, what can only be descibed as cowardly sad pea brained little people, all morons and idiots, nobody should have to put up with that!!!. unfortunately i feel over the last decade society here in the U.K as a whole seems to have take a nose dive and reverted back to neanderthal levels of both behaviour and thinking, although i would like to say we are NOT ALL like that and their a still a few good people left here in the U.K. A proud subscriber to Adventures and Naps x
Watching your videos is like having a fun chat with a friend. People shouldn't expect rocket science or fancy graphics. Its just a bit of fun. Some people obviously don't get that. But I think the informal nature of these videos might be why your fans sometimes ask you personal questions. It's because they see you as a kind of friend, or someone they would like to be friends with. Take it as a complement. And keep posting. You are doing great.
I don't find her funny. But I don't laugh at most so called comedians either. I do find her interesting and I like seeing other peoples points of view.
Shlibber Macshlibber Her channel rocks, eh? She is trained in media, I think she said once, (what she studied at college) but didnt enjoy working in it, but some of her skills I think help in this medium, with keeping to a topic and having a clear progression etc. Being clever and funny to some of our sensibilities is a plus, the ironic and dead pan was in the first one I saw which had me reeled in! She just needs to be more armoured up and not let things idiots say offend her
You're one of them people that I'd love to meet. You just so cool and down to earth. I'm not an avid watcher of your videos but I dip in every now and then but even still I find your videos interesting and I love your humour because it's not forced or excessive, just a bit of whit every now and then, makes it great to watch
Carry on eating crap in your drab little office! I for one will be watching and laughing at your humour. Ive also seen a heap of funny and super sweet comments - how about a video on that?
I absolutely love your channel and I'm sorry you get such grief from people. I, personally, say that you're very welcome over here in the U.K. That goes without saying... you're here! I enjoy every video you upload and I say... THANK YOU! Keep up the great work. Shane from Kent! X
Like many others here I rarely ever comment, but I thought I'd just let you know I really enjoy your videos. I came across your channel a couple months ago and from time to time catch up on videos (along with a few other channels) to get away from the stresses of everyday life. I find them fun, relaxing and quite informative. Thank you for putting in the hard work on them! I hope the unnecessary and negative comments don't get you down, at least their views are paying bills in some small way!
Im British/English. Call me which ever you want. Ignore the haters, they just have nothing else better to do alone in there basements. Keep up the amazing vids
I am British/Welsh and my Wifes British/Engilsh and we are both proud of it the only time i am full on Welsh is when Wales is playing sports and i have friendly banta with the Scots, English and Irish over whos teams doing better or not.
I don't put myself in the same group as those commenters but I do class myself as English, not British, but I have no issue with others calling me British as it's just a term that's not incorrect. I do it because it's my country of birth and British has been superseded by the UK. We have a UK postal address and a UK passport, so for me it's England, UK, not England, Great Britain. I can somewhat understand the backlash though, not that I completely agree with it. If you look at famous people, someone like Hugh Grant and Benedict Cumberbatch are generaly considered British actors (especially outside this country). Whereas Tom Jones is generally considered Welsh, whilst Ewan MacGregor and Sean Connery are considered Scottish, not British. To some it can seem like 'English' is being washed away and their identity along with it.
Keep up the good work. I stumbled across your channel by accident when I was watching some travel videos and I subscribed because I like your outlook on life.
I think your videos are awesome. Keep them coming. I will be going to Canada this summer and it's amazing to know about Canadian culture (and much more) from your videos.
I don't wear make up, but I do have glasses - basically I'm screwed!! Also, I have a friend who moved to Canada some years ago so he's taken your place so you are stuck here. You belong to us now.
How can one be spectacular without glasses! Continue being spectacular and ignore any who insult you sure in the knowledge that you are spectacular and they most likely are not.
I just stumbled across your channel a couple days ago and I just want to say that your videos make me feel less stressed about moving to England and are actually quite entertaining!! Just ignore the haters and keep doing what you do!
Great videos, I always enjoy them. You have a welcoming relaxed style and I'm guessing people connect with you on a level - they'd want to buy you a pint! Keep up the excellent work and thanks for the efforts 😹
Your channel is great, very entertaining, and one of the few I regularly watch, and look forward to each week ☺️ I guess some people are just mean, or angry, or just easily take offense, and love letting you know all about their feelings! 😂 I'm older, but I certainly didn't take offense at your creepy old men comments, as you're right, and it was funny!! 😂
I made it through the entire post! As I do with all your stuff 👍. That's because it's excellent observational commentary, done in a light-hearted way. Keep it up. 😊 👍
Hello there, I don’t know if you want or need compliments but in light of this here’s my crack at it. You’re smart, sharp, funny, etc, etc (we all know this, especially the critics, cos they’re not) love what you do, keep up the good work. I’d like to be your friend but hey, I’m never gonna be that cool. Have a good ‘un.
I absolutely love the parts in this where you're talking to camera and people's comments are flashing up without you directly mentioning them, and the contrast between the two. I'd watch a full video just of that.
Found your channel the other day n been binge watching since!! Love your sense of humour and your point of view....looking forward to next vid...Peace ✌
It's interesting listening to your point of view about living in England. As a foreigner myself (even though I am naturalised) in England, I can relate with sometimes the childlike wonder of discovering new things. Also, show us what's in that Pub Dogs book!
I freaking love you and this is a lovely channel that I can't get enough of. Stupid people can actually become destructive, which is why you learn to put them in their place as you grow more mature. They need to be handled or they will sometimes start handeling you. For example, I used to give out my respect just automatically as soon as I met someone. I have learned that a hell of a lot of people out there will never deserve anything like that. Nowadays, everyone I meet needs to earn my respect a little bit.
I had a constant smile on my face throughout the whole of this video. Nope, not wind - just an unflinching reality about the amount of dweebs out there, casting their unwanted negativity throughout the ether. Cracking job on outing them and basically laughing in their faces. You may not be a comedian, but you have great delivery and you have truly mastered sarcasm. Tis your foil. Keep it going, keep the faith and keep the bastards down. But poo-poo points on the "let's go". Please don't miss that again.
Hi, your comments are most welcome. It is refreshing to hear alternative views from everyone and anyone, regardless of ability to speak english, not that you are amongst those! You talk most eloquently. Love your broadcasts, and enjoy your humour, keep going girl!
Hmm. British is Welsh, Scottish or English because the island is Great Britain. The last two are Irish and Gibraltarians/Spanish (depending on your view, although actually a lot of Spanish people work there)
British refers to nationality (as on your passport), so NI citizens are British. NI born can also opt to have an Irish passport. Gibraltarians would not like to be identified as Spanish in any way!
The Gibraltar government has held referendums on closer ties with/joining Spain and the results are always against closer ties with Spain. I think those voting for closer ties just do it for a laugh.
@@hairyairey The island group is the British isles which would include Ireland as Lesser Britain to the larger islands Great Britain, but politics gets in the way of geography. Gibraltar is a British Overseas Territory like the Falklands and a few other places which don't have nation status and the peoples of those places are British citizens.
I came across your channel a couple of years after this so genuinely fascinating that this popped in the videos to view now and a very different video from what I’m used to but really enjoyed and appreciated it as you so perfectly dealt with the asinine and really sad, juvenile and ignorant comments that so often typify “social media commentary”. I just love how intelligently, grounded and humorously you just put all this crap firmly in it’s place. This is genuinely a fascinating, cogent, rational analysis & very effective refutation of the down side of “comments” the likes of which I have never seen any other content producer I’m aware of even attempt, never mind achieve. This may well be a few years too late but thank you, great job👍
You know the best part of calling Graham out on his crap, is that he'll be furious at how you pronounce his name! :D This video was hilarious, keep it up! :)
I’m sorry that so many people seem to think it’s OK to be negative, nasty, and downright hostile towards you. As one of the, I guess, “creepy old man” brigade I’ve been watching you since YT recommended your first ‘Eat This’ back in November 2017. I found you funny and entertaining, subscribed, and have been watching & being entertained by your videos since. I’m an older, married bloke, and how you look, or what you wear, or if you do or don’t wear your glasses never enters into the equation for me, you are funny, entertaining, and engaging, (as in I always watch the entirety of your videos unlike some more ‘established’ TH-camrs). I’m also English but often refer to myself as British. In the grand scheme of things there is little difference in my mind. I have quite a few health issues, and live with chronic pain, and can genuinely say that your weekly videos, regardless of topic, are a high point of my week. (I’ve read most of the books that you spoke about in a past video too, and your recommendations were good). Bollocks to the haters, you are closing in on 30k subscribers so you are obviously doing something right. Anyway, until next time, Byeeeeeeee. 😂
I'm another of the "too old to be engaged" fans here, and it's possible I never noticed the glasses, because I wear them myself and they're an out-of-focus foreground detail that I'm used to ignoring. The comment about being attractive has got me thinking, though: *is* that why we watch? Can our motivation be described as a mixture of social, intellectual, aesthetic, romantic and/or sexual attraction? Is "socially attractive" a thing? Alanna's cheerful, polite and enthusiastic. That makes her pleasant to have around. Is that social attractiveness? Maybe we really are all here because Alanna's attractive. It's not like she was ever going to talk me into eating Fry's Turkish Delight, even if she did enjoy it.
I rarely comment on anyone's videos and with yours I tend to hop from video to video instead of watching them in order, but I must say; Good on you for not taking any comments to heart. I love hearing your views, opinions and observations on what I consider to be run of the mill and totally normal. Often your content makes me laugh, other times I cringe and want to apologise to you for some things. Keep at it, keep being you & do what makes you happy!
So interesting to see these comments. It's amazing what people will say. I think I'd get upset. It's great that not only do you not get upset, but you actually manage to make such an upbeat and informative video out of them.
Woo first comment on the comment video, that's got to be worth something! Thanks for all of your efforts and hard work. It's great when you make time to reply and like comments :)
Hey I only just started watching today and saw the vid of you reacting to people's comments, some people are so disrespectful what they say, I think your awesome and love what you do, and I hope when this pandemic is over you get a new visa and you can come back to Britain because I can see how much you love it, don't let them get you down keep up the good work and stay safe and I hope to see you back in England in the near future x
I'm an American who found your channel as I have a chance of being relocated for work to Bristol. I find your content to be down to earth and something I can relate too, keep it up your doing amazing!
Can't believe I've not liked this video before, and not sure if I've previously commentated. But as someone who is virtually blind without his glasses I just want to say you're fantastic. I love your content (you've liked my comments before so you'll know!) and given you're stranded back home in Canada, I hope to see you back home soon!
One of the best videos I have watched for some time. I liked the way you rise above all those negative comments made by people that, quite frankly, don't seem to have anything better to do with their lives.
I've been in a youtube hole of your videos. I'm also Canadian and am very drawn to moving to the UK. Your videos are definitely helping to push me to just go do it after I graduate.
I'm so pleased you called out some of the haters. Good for you! I made a nice comment on one of your videos a while back and I got a nasty response back from a hater. If you haven't got anything nice to say, don't say anything at all, people. Like, what is wrong with you?? Watch something you really do enjoy. Keep up the good work. I love ALL your videos. My bff is Canadian and your posts resonate with us and make us laugh so much. Take care of yourself.
Never you mind those negative folks! The internet allows them to hide and make rude comments, like cowards. They would think twice to do the same in real life. You are a kind, considerate and exemplary Canadian and if people can be mean to you it just goes to show that nobody is immune to mean, inconsiderate people. We have to choose what we listen to. Tune out the ones that are just naysayers.
I enjoy watching your videos and is interesting to find out what you think and experience while living in the UK. And how we differ in everyday life, culture, accent etc. Unfortunately there are some people and mostly ignorant people who enjoy being unpleasant. Hopefully the nicer people out weigh the awful ones. Keep up the good work.
Haven't watched your videos for a while (YT seems to lose channels from recommended far too easily) - glad I've found you again :). Noli illegitimi carborundum.
As an old guy although hopefully not a creepy one, I'd have to ask if it comes as a surprise that many men of all ages but low success and self esteem tend to think the only reason women do anything is so that men can look at them. The internet crawls with them, but then so does my local pub. Have you noticed that the ones telling you to go home seem to be barely familiar with the English language? Loved your put downs of them. Keep up the humour.
New to your channel so trying to catch up, I don`t have time to read all your comments but most that I do read are positive. The negative ones are from sad people, most just doing it to wind you up, but I can see that you are so level headed that you know that. As for me, you make me laugh you make me smile, you are a breath of fresh air. :-))) xxx
Love this video :) The ignorant and stupid always seem to think that they're free to flaunt their small bigoted views on the internet without consequence and so it's always nice to see them being called out and shamed. For the record I've always found you and your videos really entertaining to watch Alanna and I'd probably have cracked a smile while watching this video if not for my rigid British emotional range which only covers 'Content' and 'Disgruntled'... so erm cheers and all that :)
I think your vids are pretty funny & entertaining and I can't see why so many get so enraged. That's their issue, not yours. That said, I think your comments about the whole engagement thing a bit harsh, if people are taking an interest in your thoughts & feelings etc, it's natural to be intrigued by that. Assuming those comments are intended to be kind & honest.
Btw keep calling Graham, Gram - as that will probably annoy the hell out of him :D (it's pronounced Gray-ham in the UK...with very little emphasis on the 'h')
Thank you ... this video was so therapeutic to me! I also did a video that gets a ton of negative comments from people (particularly those in the UK). I've almost turned off the comments because it was getting so hard to read through them and not feel attacked. I'm sorry that you're dealing with it as well. I wish people would realize how much their words can affect a person, especially as a content creator.
the English / British thing (I think) is simply a matter of how we refer to ourselves. for the most part, while at home we're English, Scottish, Welsh or Northern Irish. we're still British, we just rarely self reference ourselves that way unless sport is involved. British is what everyone else calls us and sometimes it doesn't feel quite right, but no biggie either.
@@dismafuggerhere2753 For me, the only time it doesn't feel quite right is when we're referred to as "Brits". I'm not offended, but it just doesn't sound right.
I found your channel aft recovering from an op a year ago & nearly burst my stitches laughing;), &subbed. I rarely post on YT, either, A+N’s the exception from this dyslexic guy [after lots of muddle n 2 spell checkers]. Wanted to support your awesome, channel;). Took 6wks for me to comment 1st time, but you have been so cool, it gave me confidence to comment here since. You put so much dedication into A+N, &ignore the haters. @1:38 &you know you haven’t put on weight, you look the same to me &like your profile pic, you look fine in glasses too :-)
I've never commented on one of your videos but I just wanted to say I think they're great. It's sad that people feel the need to leave such negative and mean spirited comments.
FWIW, I find your videos fascinating. I’m interested in the subject matter, and you have an insight and perspective that is certainly qualified to talk about it. Oh, and I like your sense of humour.
I discovered this channel a couple of days ago and I absolutely love it. I'm not a massive consumer of TH-cam videos, but I really enjoy these. I am sorry that some of the people watching - especially my fellow English - are so unpleasant, but I'm really glad you can see the rest of us.
Hi Alanna I commend you on your courage; courage to travel and live abroad and your courage to expose those people who go out of their way to be hurtful. My studies and experience with educating adults on essential life skills has taught me a great deal about human nature. People who are inclined to express hurtful comments are often bitter about some aspects of their life and use the obscurity of the internet to write things that they would not likely say in a face to face conversation. Negative criticism can be made in a constructive manner. Hurtful comments, even those veiled as constructive criticism, are often made in an effort to release the anger and hurt that a person is experiencing in their life and is directed at targets of convenience, such as yourself. I watch your postings because I enjoy your perspective on a variety of interesting topics and I particularly enjoy the effort you put in to making these videos. Your delightful personality makes these all the more enjoyable. Stay the course.
Loving your videos! Found them a few weeks ago after I'd just got back from holiday where I met a group of Canadians and we discussed the subtle differences and similarities. I've since pointed them to your channel. And yes, if you're English you are also British. You are quite correct.Keep up the good work!
You will encounter boring pedants everywhere, who, quite franly, have nothing better to do than criticize the least little thing which is pathetic imo..... By The Way, I hope you don't mind me mentioning it but you should really have put a comma after "Alas". ....
Hey there I am a Brit and been watching your videos for some time now and love what you do. I should also say that I apologise for my fellow Brits who have posted negative things towards you. These people are just a bunch of sad rude idiots with to much time on there hands at the end of the day so don’t worry to much about them. Anyway forget about them and keep the videos coming and all the best for the future.
I’ve only lived in middle Tennessee US my whole life, grew up fairly poor & recall a field trip in elementary school and got to see My Fair Lady. It changes my world! It ranked right next to Saturday mornings when I would watch Julia Child, and now as an adult, I adore and appreciate all different people and especially different accents and dialects. As an adult I watch so many different TH-cam channels like yours that are so fun to learn, appreciate the differences, and share those and sometimes giggle about it or to share in how strange or weird something seems. So I said allllllll that to say this: I hope from here on out you spend your time scrolling past the ones that are so sad that they can only comment ugliness. Oh and if it triggers people- so?

I am so overwhelmed with such kind and thoughtful comments! Thank you so much for all the support these last few years and here's to more silly videos in the future!!
As with any situation, there are always going to be a few idiots and attention seekers who try to bring people down. The vast majority of us who follow and watch your videos do so because we enjoy them.
your funny as fuck keep the videos coming lol
Thank you Alana am hoping is one L lol as i get annoyed with my real name being Allan and having to spell it my whole life asd 2 Ls lol is brilliant seeing someone tryoing snacks for the first tiem i grew up with and remembering the first time feeling
Please don’t read the comments!!! Strange I know this is in your comments.
It will drive you crazy if you take the comments to heart, it’s so easy to be mean if you’re anonymous.
Stay happy
Your videos are brilliant. Ive never commented before as i don't see the point. As you quite rightly point out if you dont like something simply switch it off. However after watching this i feel i needed to say how great i think u and your videos are. Some of the comments that you have received are shocking and stupid. Hope we can continue hearing from you as the videos crack me up.
On behalf of all the decent people of England, you are very welcome here, and I love your videos, its so fun seeing someone try/learn about things that I've grown up with!
When you're successful, people will always try to tear you down. I enjoy the content, keep your head up!
Here's a compliment from one of the creepy old men of the internet (and my creepy old wife). We have been following your commentary for some time in preparation for our upcoming trip to England and Scotland (now only two weeks away). We have found your cultural insights to be invaluable. It's not our first trip over there, but any knowledge of local customs will surely be very useful. We enjoy your style of presentation. Keep up the good work. We'd bring you some Cheetos, but aren't going to be in Kent.

I hardly ever leave a comment on TH-cam. Now I've seen this, I'm making an exception. Your videos are brilliant. Please don't change and especially, don't let these silly people upset you. They are jealous of your popularity, wit, beauty and intelligence. P.S. We do care.
A man on a mission!
Never before in the history of mankind, has it been so easy for us to connect with people on the other side of the world. How sad that people have to be so negative and nasty. It's a good thing that you have such a good handle on life. Why can't people just listen to another persons viewpoint without being so judgemental? Bless you for being such a sweet girl. X
I honestly believe that it's BECAUSE we are more connected than ever before that things are going from bad to worse in World Politics.
I am English but it's got to the point where I actually root AGAINST England in the Euros. I live in the Netherlands for work but am currently staying in England while the pandemic rages to care for an elderly relative.
While I have been living abroad, the English seem to have slowly become more and more like a bunch of racist, flag waving, 'me-first', Right Wing dicks. It saddens me. People who used to go through life with ignorant nationalistic views in private, now have the internet to embolden them, and this previously background casual bigotry has now become their primary passion. The England flag has been appropriated by these Ukip/Boris loving neofascist hobby-racists, and as they all support England and have a massive superiority complex, it would actually cheer me up to see them get knocked down a peg or two.
To anyone wanting to call me a self hating traitor.... NOPE. It's you I hate for destroying my country's international reputation and turning it into an insular, isolationist, inward looking backwater of Europe.
This is actually 1 of my favourite video's that you've done. The people posting those comments are idiots, but as a Brit, I gotta say I truly appreciated your sarcastic responses. 😊
Sorry you have had these negative comments. People who appreciate your channel must vastly outnumber the haters. Keep up the good work.
One of your Best Videos! I'm sorry you have to deal with such hatred.
Gotta have a bit of a thick skin to be on youtube.
Just saying
Oh and Hi Allanna if you read this.
I think you're very sweet.
Yeah, SO TRUE - even just to comment in youtube too sometimes !! :P I definitely couldnt put myself out there, I would need seperate therapy just to handle it, and I mean on a daily basis, just no couldnt do it. But she's so pretty, she could just smile at the camera and get views. Her humour for a pretty girl.I.think is the hook and relatability for me at least. Even though we have nothing of life circumstances in common, I am anxious and also chatty... Just that she has journalism experience so it's good she now has an outlet for the skill set while working a mundane job unrelated to her area of study/educational background. She said she hated it but look she can definitely speak on camera and video herself so that is heroism for me
What an excellent episode. I commend your positive attitude.
I really like the way you hold up a mirror to British (of course we're all British) society and show us as others see us.
Please keep up your good work.
Just keep up the relentless positivity and quirky outlook on life - can't understand some of those comments you received, just proves the failure of care in the community. Ignore the shit and be yourself, a rising star of TH-cam.
Haters will always hate especially when faced with someone radiating such genuinely good vibes. I find your videos uplifting with this random chatty feel, like sitting across the table from an always upbeat friend down the pub.
I stumbled across your channel about a month ago. I personally find your content very interesting and fun. It's interesting to understand the perspective of a Canadian living in the UK and the difference between the two countries. In fact I'm planning on going to the USA/Canada at some point in the next couple of years and I have learnt the different termonalagy peopls use in the two countries etc which has been helpful. Ignore the haters their just bitter and sad. The fact that people genuinely get angry over dumb shit like calling us English/British I don't get offended because why would i. Keep doing your thing 👊
Agreed. It's fascinating to see what people from other countries think of Britain.
As an "old man" (67) I find your videos entertaining, lively and a breath of fresh air. Don't let the very few stupid twats posting ignorant comments get you down. Best wishes and here's looking forward to more stupendous vids in the future!
I just enjoy your take on living in England. If I didn't like it I'd just not watch.
The idiots who leave nasty comments just do it for the attention
I don't think that's it. They do it because they have nothing better to do and are mean-spirited in my opinion.
@thomas neale Oh dear.
ditto
I am English, born in London, and my passport says "Nationality : British Citizen". So you are clearly right about being both English and British. Simple, really.
I grew up in London but lived my teenage years and adult life in Canada. Just want to encourage you. I find your channel informative, funny and respite from all the angst out there. Ignore, delete and block the negativity - you have now a legion of positive viewers. Onward and upward.
I'm British moving the southern Ontario soon. I like you're channel! You'll always get people who hate, don't sweat the small stuff... Keep doing what you love and what we love!
My country is full of muppets haha. I can only apologise. Love your content!
Thèse people are so negative about everything and everybody, just be as you are and please keep making these vids.These people are not worth even talking about them we all love you.
You are very lovely keep the vids coming
I am neither from England or Canada. But I still enjoy the videos. I found your channel by coincidence, when I was searching for vids of England. I find this channel relaxing and down to earth. I enjoy watching and learning about England, aswell as just follow you in general. My husband and I have often talked about visiting or moving to England at some point (obviously, visiting first and THEN decide). It is sad some people have to write bad stuff everywhere. I have a friend, who started her own channel. Just for fun, just because she wanted to do it. And before she really got started, people hated so much on her, that she decided to stop. Something she enjoyed they managed to ruin, because it (apparently?) was so important for them to write their negative thoughts. It's not even constructive criticism - it is only destructive. So thinking about my friend...I am so happy you are able to go on! That is inspiring. :)
Thank you! I had thought about quitting a few times because of the negativity, but decided to keep trying! Thanks so much for watching!
No no no, don't quit 😭
@@AdventuresAndNaps don't ever quit! Please don't..
Be sure to take a very full tour before you make up your mind. I'm sure some people would tell you there's nowhere better than Shropshire or there's nowhere better than Berkshire or there's nowhere better than Hounslow or there's nowhere better than Dartford or there's nowhere better than Derbyshire or there's nowhere better than Cheshire and I know there are people who'd tell you there's nowhere better than Yorkshire, but do give Devon, Cornwall, central Wales, Lancashire, Cumbria, Banff, Stirling, Elgin and Forres, Cambridgeshire and the rest a look. Maybe don't bother looking at Middlebrough, Darlington or Colchester, though. Two of them have houses for sale for under £10,000 and one of them's downwind of London nad inhabited by Essex girls and Military Prison staff.
Love your videos but don't normally comment... Just want to say that you're a joy to watch for all kinds of reasons, from your quirky observations to your wry sense of humour. Thank you for all the free entertainment! I despair that you have to wade through all this garbage and admire you for talking about it. Btw, I was born and raised in Kent but now live in Newcastle which I recommend visiting: beautiful countryside and grand architecture, not too dissimilar to Bath. Canada is #1 on my list of countries to visit!
Thanks so much, I hope you can visit Canada someday!
Well said Seth 😀 why do people think it's ok to post such offensive rubbish ?
Btw I agree ...Newcastle is a great place ( I live in Manchester which is also a top city)
Hearing "Hi everyone, it's me," (every Tuesday) lifts my spirit just a little, and can put a smile on my face... Probably because I really enjoy watching your videos. Sometimes I just listen to your videos while I multi-task, with my eyes elsewhere.
One of the only smaller youtubers I'm subscribed to. You make great and honest content, with funny dry humour.
People on the internet are weird. Bit embarrassed to be British.
Sorry to hear this. Hope you're not discouraged. Your presence in England is a compliment, and your content is funny and informative. What more could anybody ask for? Pay any non-constructive/negative voices no heed.
I cannot understand people who post insults and abuse on social media - especially when aimed at someone they have never met, and who posts mainly for the fun of communicating. At the risk of sounding like a creepy old man, I love your videos, your outlook on life, and your communication style. More, please (especially the hilarious 'I can't make that' series)!
Maybe because they want other people to feel good about themselves and spread positivity?
Because the person in question said they get lots of nasty comments so it's kind to leave some positive ones to affirm the fact that there are more fans than haters?
Not sure what your point is.
I loved this video!
I love basically all your videos, except for one vlog you made.
I love your humour and your style, your genuineness.
And to top it off, you are a beautiful lass.
Keep it up, Alana!
Vast majority of people are good and give you good comments. Unfortunately going to be a few saddos too, I hope you don't let these people get you down. Keep up the good work.
I did not expect to enjoy your channel as much as I do. Thanks for being yourself and for being so decent about those who clearly are not. Your videos are fun and informative. Keep going!
first off alanna, I would like to aplogise on behalf of myself as a "british" citizen, yes people I am "british", but also scottish, proud to be both!, and express how ashamed, dissapointed and angry I am in my so called fellow countryman/woman,and all others who have directed such vile posionus comments to you.
Secondly, love your videos Alanna, always very insightful, and though provoking and always enjoyable. I am so glad you posted this video to call out and highlight these, what can only be descibed as cowardly sad pea brained little people, all morons and idiots, nobody should have to put up with that!!!. unfortunately i feel over the last decade society here in the U.K as a whole seems to have take a nose dive and reverted back to neanderthal levels of both behaviour and thinking, although i would like to say we are NOT ALL like that and their a still a few good people left here in the U.K.
A proud subscriber to Adventures and Naps x
Loved this video. Love your attitude and how you stand up for yourself. Keep it up. And I'll keep watching.
I think your channel is great and look forward to watching a new video each week. You're doing a great job!
Watching your videos is like having a fun chat with a friend. People shouldn't expect rocket science or fancy graphics. Its just a bit of fun. Some people obviously don't get that. But I think the informal nature of these videos might be why your fans sometimes ask you personal questions. It's because they see you as a kind of friend, or someone they would like to be friends with. Take it as a complement. And keep posting. You are doing great.
I think you’re funny as hell. Ignore anyone who doesn’t understand your sense of humour.
Yes completely agree, Her channel , her rules, they'll just have to live with it.
Hey, hey, everyone, look, over here, I've found one🙋, its called Bob squash
I don't find her funny. But I don't laugh at most so called comedians either. I do find her interesting and I like seeing other peoples points of view.
👆this one's called B B
Shlibber Macshlibber Her channel rocks, eh? She is trained in media, I think she said once, (what she studied at college) but didnt enjoy working in it, but some of her skills I think help in this medium, with keeping to a topic and having a clear progression etc. Being clever and funny to some of our sensibilities is a plus, the ironic and dead pan was in the first one I saw which had me reeled in! She just needs to be more armoured up and not let things idiots say offend her
You're one of them people that I'd love to meet. You just so cool and down to earth. I'm not an avid watcher of your videos but I dip in every now and then but even still I find your videos interesting and I love your humour because it's not forced or excessive, just a bit of whit every now and then, makes it great to watch
Carry on eating crap in your drab little office! I for one will be watching and laughing at your humour. Ive also seen a heap of funny and super sweet comments - how about a video on that?
I love your energy, this is the most important thing for me !! 🙏🙏🙏
I absolutely love your channel and I'm sorry you get such grief from people. I, personally, say that you're very welcome over here in the U.K. That goes without saying... you're here! I enjoy every video you upload and I say... THANK YOU! Keep up the great work. Shane from Kent! X
Like many others here I rarely ever comment, but I thought I'd just let you know I really enjoy your videos. I came across your channel a couple months ago and from time to time catch up on videos (along with a few other channels) to get away from the stresses of everyday life. I find them fun, relaxing and quite informative. Thank you for putting in the hard work on them! I hope the unnecessary and negative comments don't get you down, at least their views are paying bills in some small way!
Im British/English. Call me which ever you want. Ignore the haters, they just have nothing else better to do alone in there basements. Keep up the amazing vids
I am British/Welsh and my Wifes British/Engilsh and we are both proud of it the only time i am full on Welsh is when Wales is playing sports and i have friendly banta with the Scots, English and Irish over whos teams doing better or not.
I don't put myself in the same group as those commenters but I do class myself as English, not British, but I have no issue with others calling me British as it's just a term that's not incorrect. I do it because it's my country of birth and British has been superseded by the UK. We have a UK postal address and a UK passport, so for me it's England, UK, not England, Great Britain.
I can somewhat understand the backlash though, not that I completely agree with it. If you look at famous people, someone like Hugh Grant and Benedict Cumberbatch are generaly considered British actors (especially outside this country). Whereas Tom Jones is generally considered Welsh, whilst Ewan MacGregor and Sean Connery are considered Scottish, not British. To some it can seem like 'English' is being washed away and their identity along with it.
The people who complain about nationality normally aren’t that intelligent to understand the difference.
Most of the older generation tend to refer themselves to their country of origin. "I am English, not British!"
Keep up the good work. I stumbled across your channel by accident when I was watching some travel videos and I subscribed because I like your outlook on life.
Love your sarcasm in this, great video! :D
I think your videos are awesome. Keep them coming. I will be going to Canada this summer and it's amazing to know about Canadian culture (and much more) from your videos.
I don't wear make up, but I do have glasses - basically I'm screwed!! Also, I have a friend who moved to Canada some years ago so he's taken your place so you are stuck here. You belong to us now.
Colin Steward That’s a trade I think we won.
How can one be spectacular without glasses! Continue being spectacular and ignore any who insult you sure in the knowledge that you are spectacular and they most likely are not.
I just stumbled across your channel a couple days ago and I just want to say that your videos make me feel less stressed about moving to England and are actually quite entertaining!! Just ignore the haters and keep doing what you do!
Great videos, I always enjoy them. You have a welcoming relaxed style and I'm guessing people connect with you on a level - they'd want to buy you a pint! Keep up the excellent work and thanks for the efforts 😹
I want to give you a big hug after seeing those comments. Your vids are great fun and I love what you do
Your channel is great, very entertaining, and one of the few I regularly watch, and look forward to each week ☺️
I guess some people are just mean, or angry, or just easily take offense, and love letting you know all about their feelings! 😂
I'm older, but I certainly didn't take offense at your creepy old men comments, as you're right, and it was funny!! 😂
I made it through the entire post! As I do with all your stuff 👍. That's because it's excellent observational commentary, done in a light-hearted way. Keep it up. 😊 👍
Hello there, I don’t know if you want or need compliments but in light of this here’s my crack at it. You’re smart, sharp, funny, etc, etc (we all know this, especially the critics, cos they’re not) love what you do, keep up the good work. I’d like to be your friend but hey, I’m never gonna be that cool. Have a good ‘un.
Luv the comment
On behalf of England/Great Britain I am so so so fucking sorry for these people.
I absolutely love the parts in this where you're talking to camera and people's comments are flashing up without you directly mentioning them, and the contrast between the two. I'd watch a full video just of that.
Found your channel the other day n been binge watching since!! Love your sense of humour and your point of view....looking forward to next vid...Peace ✌
It's interesting listening to your point of view about living in England. As a foreigner myself (even though I am naturalised) in England, I can relate with sometimes the childlike wonder of discovering new things.
Also, show us what's in that Pub Dogs book!
I freaking love you and this is a lovely channel that I can't get enough of.
Stupid people can actually become destructive, which is why you learn to put them in their place as you grow more mature. They need to be handled or they will sometimes start handeling you. For example, I used to give out my respect just automatically as soon as I met someone. I have learned that a hell of a lot of people out there will never deserve anything like that. Nowadays, everyone I meet needs to earn my respect a little bit.
I had a constant smile on my face throughout the whole of this video. Nope, not wind - just an unflinching reality about the amount of dweebs out there, casting their unwanted negativity throughout the ether. Cracking job on outing them and basically laughing in their faces. You may not be a comedian, but you have great delivery and you have truly mastered sarcasm. Tis your foil. Keep it going, keep the faith and keep the bastards down. But poo-poo points on the "let's go". Please don't miss that again.
Hi, your comments are most welcome. It is refreshing to hear alternative views from everyone and anyone, regardless of ability to speak english, not that you are amongst those! You talk most eloquently. Love your broadcasts, and enjoy your humour, keep going girl!
Nice one, Alanna! :-) Oh, and if you're English, yes, you are British... as you are if you are Welsh, Scottish, from Northern Ireland, Gibraltar, etc.
Hmm. British is Welsh, Scottish or English because the island is Great Britain. The last two are Irish and Gibraltarians/Spanish (depending on your view, although actually a lot of Spanish people work there)
British refers to nationality (as on your passport), so NI citizens are British. NI born can also opt to have an Irish passport. Gibraltarians would not like to be identified as Spanish in any way!
@@hairyairey yeh Northern Irish and people of Gibraltar would not agree
The Gibraltar government has held referendums on closer ties with/joining Spain and the results are always against closer ties with Spain. I think those voting for closer ties just do it for a laugh.
@@hairyairey The island group is the British isles which would include Ireland as Lesser Britain to the larger islands Great Britain, but politics gets in the way of geography.
Gibraltar is a British Overseas Territory like the Falklands and a few other places which don't have nation status and the peoples of those places are British citizens.
I came across your channel a couple of years after this so genuinely fascinating that this popped in the videos to view now and a very different video from what I’m used to but really enjoyed and appreciated it as you so perfectly dealt with the asinine and really sad, juvenile and ignorant comments that so often typify “social media commentary”. I just love how intelligently, grounded and humorously you just put all this crap firmly in it’s place. This is genuinely a fascinating, cogent, rational analysis & very effective refutation of the down side of “comments” the likes of which I have never seen any other content producer I’m aware of even attempt, never mind achieve. This may well be a few years too late but thank you, great job👍
You know the best part of calling Graham out on his crap, is that he'll be furious at how you pronounce his name! :D
This video was hilarious, keep it up! :)
I’m sorry that so many people seem to think it’s OK to be negative, nasty, and downright hostile towards you.
As one of the, I guess, “creepy old man” brigade I’ve been watching you since YT recommended your first ‘Eat This’ back in November 2017. I found you funny and entertaining, subscribed, and have been watching & being entertained by your videos since. I’m an older, married bloke, and how you look, or what you wear, or if you do or don’t wear your glasses never enters into the equation for me, you are funny, entertaining, and engaging, (as in I always watch the entirety of your videos unlike some more ‘established’ TH-camrs).
I’m also English but often refer to myself as British. In the grand scheme of things there is little difference in my mind.
I have quite a few health issues, and live with chronic pain, and can genuinely say that your weekly videos, regardless of topic, are a high point of my week. (I’ve read most of the books that you spoke about in a past video too, and your recommendations were good). Bollocks to the haters, you are closing in on 30k subscribers so you are obviously doing something right. Anyway, until next time, Byeeeeeeee. 😂
I'm another of the "too old to be engaged" fans here, and it's possible I never noticed the glasses, because I wear them myself and they're an out-of-focus foreground detail that I'm used to ignoring. The comment about being attractive has got me thinking, though: *is* that why we watch? Can our motivation be described as a mixture of social, intellectual, aesthetic, romantic and/or sexual attraction? Is "socially attractive" a thing? Alanna's cheerful, polite and enthusiastic. That makes her pleasant to have around. Is that social attractiveness? Maybe we really are all here because Alanna's attractive. It's not like she was ever going to talk me into eating Fry's Turkish Delight, even if she did enjoy it.
Well said. Excellent video. You're the first that I've seen to take on the hateful commenters. Kudos to you. Keep on trucking.
Ignore the haters and keep doing what your doing and never change for anyone. Love your show!
I rarely comment on anyone's videos and with yours I tend to hop from video to video instead of watching them in order, but I must say; Good on you for not taking any comments to heart.
I love hearing your views, opinions and observations on what I consider to be run of the mill and totally normal. Often your content makes me laugh, other times I cringe and want to apologise to you for some things.
Keep at it, keep being you & do what makes you happy!
I find it fascinating to see peoples different views of this funky country. Keep posting :)
So interesting to see these comments. It's amazing what people will say. I think I'd get upset. It's great that not only do you not get upset, but you actually manage to make such an upbeat and informative video out of them.
Woo first comment on the comment video, that's got to be worth something! Thanks for all of your efforts and hard work. It's great when you make time to reply and like comments :)
Thanks so much!
Hey I only just started watching today and saw the vid of you reacting to people's comments, some people are so disrespectful what they say, I think your awesome and love what you do, and I hope when this pandemic is over you get a new visa and you can come back to Britain because I can see how much you love it, don't let them get you down keep up the good work and stay safe and I hope to see you back in England in the near future x
I'm an American who found your channel as I have a chance of being relocated for work to Bristol. I find your content to be down to earth and something I can relate too, keep it up your doing amazing!
"Oh John, where do I begin?" LMAO
Can't believe I've not liked this video before, and not sure if I've previously commentated. But as someone who is virtually blind without his glasses I just want to say you're fantastic. I love your content (you've liked my comments before so you'll know!) and given you're stranded back home in Canada, I hope to see you back home soon!
One of the best videos I have watched for some time. I liked the way you rise above all those negative comments made by people that, quite frankly, don't seem to have anything better to do with their lives.
I've been in a youtube hole of your videos. I'm also Canadian and am very drawn to moving to the UK. Your videos are definitely helping to push me to just go do it after I graduate.
I'm so pleased you called out some of the haters. Good for you! I made a nice comment on one of your videos a while back and I got a nasty response back from a hater. If you haven't got anything nice to say, don't say anything at all, people. Like, what is wrong with you?? Watch something you really do enjoy. Keep up the good work. I love ALL your videos. My bff is Canadian and your posts resonate with us and make us laugh so much. Take care of yourself.
Thank you so much Soulla!!
Never you mind those negative folks! The internet allows them to hide and make rude comments, like cowards. They would think twice to do the same in real life. You are a kind, considerate and exemplary Canadian and if people can be mean to you it just goes to show that nobody is immune to mean, inconsiderate people. We have to choose what we listen to. Tune out the ones that are just naysayers.
I enjoy watching your videos and is interesting to find out what you think and experience while living in the UK. And how we differ in everyday life, culture, accent etc. Unfortunately there are some people and mostly ignorant people who enjoy being unpleasant. Hopefully the nicer people out weigh the awful ones. Keep up the good work.
Haven't watched your videos for a while (YT seems to lose channels from recommended far too easily) - glad I've found you again :). Noli illegitimi carborundum.
"come home from work, watch one of my videos, maybe have a laugh" hey, that's me!
I love to watch your videos, even if I don't usually comment. I find them entertaining and never dull. So thank you and don't ever stop. :D
As an old guy although hopefully not a creepy one, I'd have to ask if it comes as a surprise that many men of all ages but low success and self esteem tend to think the only reason women do anything is so that men can look at them.
The internet crawls with them, but then so does my local pub.
Have you noticed that the ones telling you to go home seem to be barely familiar with the English language?
Loved your put downs of them.
Keep up the humour.
Well i like your channel LOVED this episode! Keep up the videos your sense of humour is funny, good to see some people being called out!
We need a video on that pub dog book.
Patreon!
Thought it said pub bog's(hand me my bin's)
Adventures and Naps oh :( too poor right now, but when I have money, it’s yours.
@@TomPhotoix Snap Allana. Living on a pension. (Creepy old guy.)
Tom Photoix I was looking at that in the background to 🤭
New to your channel so trying to catch up, I don`t have time to read all your comments but most that I do read are positive. The negative ones are from sad people, most just doing it to wind you up, but I can see that you are so level headed that you know that. As for me, you make me laugh you make me smile, you are a breath of fresh air. :-))) xxx
your just so cute, remember their is always more good people then the haters.
I will be there in few months and your videos are actually very informative.
Thanks.
Love this video :)
The ignorant and stupid always seem to think that they're free to flaunt their small bigoted views on the internet without consequence and so it's always nice to see them being called out and shamed.
For the record I've always found you and your videos really entertaining to watch Alanna and I'd probably have cracked a smile while watching this video if not for my rigid British emotional range which only covers 'Content' and 'Disgruntled'... so erm cheers and all that :)
I find you guilty.
I love your video's if people don't like them they shouldn't watch them.
I concur 👏
Well said my man.
I think your vids are pretty funny & entertaining and I can't see why so many get so enraged. That's their issue, not yours. That said, I think your comments about the whole engagement thing a bit harsh, if people are taking an interest in your thoughts & feelings etc, it's natural to be intrigued by that. Assuming those comments are intended to be kind & honest.
Found your channel maybe 2 days ago... Binged the whole thing... Delightful 💕
Thank you so much!!!
@@AdventuresAndNaps You're welcome 😊
Btw keep calling Graham, Gram - as that will probably annoy the hell out of him :D (it's pronounced Gray-ham in the UK...with very little emphasis on the 'h')
Can think of few thing's too call him😉 ps hi gram 😈
I thought that was a reference to the weight of his brain! :-)
Go shades of ????
Thank you ... this video was so therapeutic to me! I also did a video that gets a ton of negative comments from people (particularly those in the UK). I've almost turned off the comments because it was getting so hard to read through them and not feel attacked. I'm sorry that you're dealing with it as well. I wish people would realize how much their words can affect a person, especially as a content creator.
I watch because you remind me what hopeful and happy people look like and I think oh yeah.
I'll let the catchphrase thing go... but just this once lol
the English / British thing (I think) is simply a matter of how we refer to ourselves. for the most part, while at home we're English, Scottish, Welsh or Northern Irish. we're still British, we just rarely self reference ourselves that way unless sport is involved. British is what everyone else calls us and sometimes it doesn't feel quite right, but no biggie either.
@@dismafuggerhere2753 For me, the only time it doesn't feel quite right is when we're referred to as "Brits". I'm not offended, but it just doesn't sound right.
I am a Brit who is British and if someone called me an Englishman I'd find it very odd since it hasn't ever happened to me.. So each to their own 😁😁
I found your channel aft recovering from an op a year ago & nearly burst my stitches laughing;), &subbed. I rarely post on YT, either, A+N’s the exception from this dyslexic guy [after lots of muddle n 2 spell checkers]. Wanted to support your awesome, channel;). Took 6wks for me to comment 1st time, but you have been so cool, it gave me confidence to comment here since. You put so much dedication into A+N, &ignore the haters. @1:38 &you know you haven’t put on weight, you look the same to me &like your profile pic, you look fine in glasses too :-)
I've never commented on one of your videos but I just wanted to say I think they're great. It's sad that people feel the need to leave such negative and mean spirited comments.
FWIW, I find your videos fascinating. I’m interested in the subject matter, and you have an insight and perspective that is certainly qualified to talk about it. Oh, and I like your sense of humour.
It's amazing the security a keyboard affords a troll, who needs Kevlar. Remember one thing..
Keep calm and carry on.
I discovered this channel a couple of days ago and I absolutely love it. I'm not a massive consumer of TH-cam videos, but I really enjoy these. I am sorry that some of the people watching - especially my fellow English - are so unpleasant, but I'm really glad you can see the rest of us.
Hi Alanna
I commend you on your courage; courage to travel and live abroad and your courage to expose those people who go out of their way to be hurtful. My studies and experience with educating adults on essential life skills has taught me a great deal about human nature. People who are inclined to express hurtful comments are often bitter about some aspects of their life and use the obscurity of the internet to write things that they would not likely say in a face to face conversation.
Negative criticism can be made in a constructive manner. Hurtful comments, even those veiled as constructive criticism, are often made in an effort to release the anger and hurt that a person is experiencing in their life and is directed at targets of convenience, such as yourself.
I watch your postings because I enjoy your perspective on a variety of interesting topics and I particularly enjoy the effort you put in to making these videos. Your delightful personality makes these all the more enjoyable.
Stay the course.
Loving your videos! Found them a few weeks ago after I'd just got back from holiday where I met a group of Canadians and we discussed the subtle differences and similarities. I've since pointed them to your channel. And yes, if you're English you are also British. You are quite correct.Keep up the good work!
Interesting vid. Alas you find these ignorant/pedantic/vile/rude people wherever you are. At least you have the good grace to rise above them ☺.
You will encounter boring pedants everywhere, who, quite franly, have nothing better to do than criticize the least little thing which is pathetic imo.....
By The Way, I hope you don't mind me mentioning it but you should really have put a comma after "Alas". ....
Just keep doing what you do, you're really funny. The beer video was hilarious.
Hey there I am a Brit and been watching your videos for some time now and love what you do. I should also say that I apologise for my fellow Brits who have posted negative things towards you. These people are just a bunch of sad rude idiots with to much time on there hands at the end of the day so don’t worry to much about them.
Anyway forget about them and keep the videos coming and all the best for the future.
I’ve only lived in middle Tennessee US my whole life, grew up fairly poor & recall a field trip in elementary school and got to see My Fair Lady.
It changes my world! It ranked right next to Saturday mornings when I would watch Julia Child, and now as an adult, I adore and appreciate all different people and especially different accents and dialects. As an adult I watch so many different TH-cam channels like yours that are so fun to learn, appreciate the differences, and share those and sometimes giggle about it or to share in how strange or weird something seems.
So I said allllllll that to say this:
I hope from here on out you spend your time scrolling past the ones that are so sad that they can only comment ugliness. Oh and if it triggers people- so?
Phew! roasting averted! :) I think your vids are lighthearted, don't understand how anyone could be offended. Pay no mind to the weirdos.
