Travellators? I thought they were like those uphill things at the end of the time-trial obstacle course on the show Gladiators back in the 90s and when you stopped moving you ended up back at the bottom. I always called the horizontal ones "bouncy roads".
@@EnglishLad moving walkway, just an unhelpful one in the gladiator theme. Often level but don't have to be. We have a supermarket near me that has inclined ones for getting trolleys up"stairs".
@@tweetypie1978 We usually arrive at Piccadilly from the East and have to transfer to the platforms going North, so the travellator is a necessity to get from one end of the station to the lifts that lead to the platforms going to stations north and west.

We have those automated walkways, we call them travellators. At a lot of airports, and here in London we have them in the underground at some stations too. Our local big supermarkets have them too, as they've got multiple levels but need to be able to get the shopping carts up and down too.
Travelators with seats on them-now that would be something-probably need to have the thing in carousel format, like the luggage carousels but elongated, of course, with little bicycle-type or similar seats on the inner edge of the loop.

The "split-screen" aspect is simply because this guy is performing in stadiums nowadays so if you have seats at the back you can't see what the hell he's doing! Rather like big rock concerts and stuff like that.

One of the best things about working abroad with Americans, was arriving back at Heathrow and getting fast tracked through the UK and EU nationals channel. How the Americans used to complain about not getting special treatment and visa free access into the UK. Even though they didn't think we should have visa free access the the US.
My wife and I went see Michael McIntyre live when he appeared in Belfast 9 years ago. By the time we came out our sides were hurting that much from laughing 😂😂
Ethan love how you've grown with your channel from the quiet matter of fact guy in the beginning to the more happy relaxed fella you are today..then you introduced er indoors.. masterstroke she always has that cheeky glint in her eyes..keeping you in check when needed..and great interaction between you both..you have taken it to a different level long may you both continue and a big thank you from Yorkshire England..stay safe 😀
They usually have that "split screen" in arena shows where the comedian looks like an ant on stage from the back of the arena. Basically, he is on stage at a live show with the screen above him for the people at the back. Iyswim.
The best thing about airports that my wife and I like is that she is disabled, so when it’s time to got through Passport control we bypass the queues, and to see the look on other passengers faces it’s quite funny to see. We don’t even have to queue when we check in.
Michael Mcintyre has done three episodes of 8 Out of 10 Cats: s4e05, s6e06, and s7e11. He's also done five episodes of Mock the Week and two of The Big Fat Quiz of the Year (2008 & 2011). Quiz would be very good for you guys to watch, although it is quite long, since it really gives all the comedians time to show off their different comedic styles.
As I now have to rely on a wheelchair, my wife is constantly telling me off for being embarrassing in Airports, well everywhere really. I have a device that attaches to the front of my chair which lifts the two front wheels of the ground making in into a Trike. I was captured by our local police doing 28mph on my way into Town. So in 2018, after I got out of hospital, we decided to have a family holiday. My wife and I, our four children and 7 grandchildren. So everywhere we went I was self powered, which reeked carnage everywhere I went, much to her embarrassment. Our eldest son actually said to her in a restaurant one evening "You married him knowing he was an idiot, what did you expect when you agreed to him buying that kind of wheelchair?" My youngest grandchildren love to ride on it when we go out, so once I have two passengers visibly can be difficult, which makes it even more fun. At London Heathrow I had three grandchildren on my lap an nearly no visibility, and seeing how fast people move out the way on the walking escalator is almost too much fun. But the best are normal stair escalators, people were literally terrified. And then there is the queuing tapes, I just rode straight through them, and after wreaking the whole lot some Airport official apologised to me. My family want to go on another family holiday, my wife, not so much. Oh, and if you're going down a hill in a normal wheelchair, just use the brakes to steer, you end up going so fast that only two things will stop you, a car (preferably parked) or a wall, it is so much fun.
There was a woman in my old office that had a strange looking walk. We figured it out in the end. When she walked past a low partition, and her head glided past like she was on wheels. Walking without your head going up and down is not normal.
Hey Ethan and Betterhalf, sorry Betterhalf, I haven't caught your name yet. I stumbled onto you channel yesterday looking for stand up comedy and since then I've binge watched every episode of your British comedy reactions. You guys seem such a lovely couple and watching your reactions made me feel like I was watching these sketches for the first time again. I really love how you've made efforts to take our comedy culture into your lives as it really helps you understand us. I grew up with Bill Cosby, Richard Prior, Eddie Murphy, Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Roseanne Barr and Robin Williams, all wonderful American comedians and you learn a lot about the culture from watching their comedy. I recognise Betterhalf's reference to Monty Python's ministers of silly walks and I wonder if you would want to watch the most famous comedy sketches in British History, "The Two Ronnie's, four candles" and "Only Fools and Horses, Trigger's broom". I also have a suggestion for one of your reaction videos, "Ardal O'Hanlon, live at the apollo part 1". I think he's from Northern Ireland but sorry Ardal if you're from Republic of Ireland. Hope you enjoy more British comedy 🤗🤗🤗
Great reaction! I sat front row at a Michael McIntyre gig here in Derry, N Ireland about 15 years ago and at one point he selected me to come up to the stage and explain some local slang terms that he had heard and what they meant. Then he asked my name and said to the audience "Big round of applause for Gareth everyone!". Nice fella!
We drink over 100 million cups of tea every single day in the UK. About 70mil people in the UK, most people drink tea and a lot of us working class folk drink at least 3 a day. Morning, work, evening. (The more the merrier though) haha I still sometimes walk on my toes. Did it as a child, my gf catches me doing it sometimes River Dancing is what you're thinking of for the Irish dancing.
Michael McIntyre has his own variety show. Try 'unexpected star of the show' (various versions) or 'Michael McIntyre karaoke gary barlow' for something a little different, and not stand up, but still funny.
at university I used to sit in the quad and watch people walk, you can usually pick a country of origin from just the walk (we have a high foreign student population, especially in the business school)
Re: regulations for ramps. My wife is disabled and requires a wheelchair when we travel away from home. We've just had a new concrete ramp installed at the rear of our house from our back door. Unfortunately, the regulations require us to have a certain length of level concrete BEFORE the start of the ramp, then another length of level concrete at the foot of the ramp. All of this platform-ramp-platform construction has to have fixed safety railings (yet another regualtion) on either side of the ramp. We don't have a particularly long back garden so this platform-ramp-platform construction takes us to the end (slightly beyond actually,) the length of our back garden, so that now it's practically impossible to get from our back door to our back garden. Of course, I'm able to duck under the railings, (and since I removed a tree at the end of the garden, I can actually squeeze past the end of the ramp to get to the rear lawn,) but there's no way my wife, in her wheelchair is able to ever have access to our rear lawn again.
you should watch Michael Macintyre send to all videos where a celeb gives him their phone and he sends an awkward group text to all the celeb's contacts and reads off the replies
Hi, The top screen is a very large TV so all the audience can see him. And not lust a small man on the stage. if your close to the back of the theatre.
My own surreal experience with the rope system was in Newark. I recognised someone who was one length ahead of me and we had a conversation for the few steps we were near each other and then paused while we each went out to our turn and back and then another few words and onward again... Being Newark we were able to have quite a long and detailed discussion. :o)
There’s videos on here showing the difference between UK English and American English for things, such as Trolley vs Shopping Cart 🛒. Have a look when you get time.
We also have the travelators at some train stations. And the same regulation for ramps are in the UK. I think the ratio of how much horizontal per vertical might be different depending on country? Basically, it's the difference between having a wheelchair ramp and a deathtrap.
The walkways we call travellators here in the UK we have them in some large supermarkets between floors instead of escalators with steps, the official name is auto walkway. The zigzag ramps are not just for coming down to quick, it's for being able to push yourself up in a wheelchair even a small gradient makes it that much hard to do.
A lot of trouble you get with your back or legs is because of bad walking. I have a twist of the foot within the step, which is the source of slipping in snow and ice, and chronic lower back pain. I've never been able to correct it. Look up orthopaedic shoes. Sometime they help at least in part...
Holy cow.. the British thing at the thing is true for a lot of British people.. we’d spent ages in line just to get to the end, it’s the longest process ever..
Depends on the size of the airport, but we do have the moving floors across Europe, London Gatwick does I'm pretty certain, not travelled enough to know where else. The smaller airports might not, but the larger ones are more likely to.
That’s still a killer to walk on as it’s so crowded and people expect you to walk up it quickly in heels or they bash you with their briefcase / backpack / handbag.
i am English and my husband was American and we compared the difference in words so we made a song about it like you say tomato and i say tomato lol we said you say a trolley and i say a basket, you say a coffin and i say a casket. A trolley a basket a coffin a casket lets call the whole thing off.

Michael Mcintyre lives in London, and not so long ago he was waiting in a Range Rover outside his young children's school. He was wearing an expensive Rolex watch, when a group of teenagers on mopeds surrounded his car and smashed his windows with hammers. They took his Rolex and his wallet, that's the price of fame.
I hate those bendy ropes! Last time I was coming home to Heathrow there was nobody at passport control and I tried the undoing each rope technique but got told off by a security officer and he made me walk them instead. I was fuming but being British I said nothing and did the zigzag walk 😂
Kinda like u both but ithink u don't get the dry senseless of humour sometimes its sarcastic and trying to offend on purpose to see if u get a reaction like Jimmy Carr as such this is tame
I’ve been with my husband for nearly 12 years now and I use the expression, ‘owners start to resemble their pets after a while’ that’s why I dress like him… that and the fact that his shirts are comfy 😂
Elite runners run on their toes; and if you run barefoot, you'll naturally run on your toes so you don't jar your knees. It's the advent of thick-soled, shock-absorbent trainers that make most of us run on our heels.
12:05 as far as I'm aware, we don't have any flat ones here in Scotland, we have ones that carry shopping trollies from one floor to another but theyre more like hybrid escalator/travelator things. I grew up in Hong Kong though and they are EVERYWHERE. Hong Kong is home to the world's longest escalator

In Scotland we do have the escalators at the airports but they are set so slow that your faster walking so they’re always empty 😁
Er, why don't people get on them and then walk along them?
It's nearly midday, and I'm only on my 4th cup of tea.

Michael Mcintyre currently hosts a game show here in the UK called THE WHEEL.
We also have the travelators at some train stations. And the same regulation for ramps are in the UK. I think the ratio of how much horizontal per vertical might be different depending on country? Basically, it's the difference between having a wheelchair ramp and a deathtrap.

I would love to see your reaction to Dave Allen, Best of Dave Allen - The Comedy Sketches in 4 parts, Dave Allen Stand up (Best of Dave Allen At Large) or Dave Allen - Religious Jokes. Alternatively, Lee Evans - When the Car Breaks Down , whichever you can manage.
Yeah almost all airports have travelators in the UK
I went to that tour (show) that the clip was from (but when it was in Cardiff)
My Son walks on the ball of his feet and has a slight bounce !! Lol. He is 46 yrs old and still does
Michael Mcintyre lives in London, and not so long ago he was waiting in a Range Rover outside his young children's school. He was wearing an expensive Rolex watch, when a group of teenagers on mopeds surrounded his car and smashed his windows with hammers. They took his Rolex and his wallet, that's the price of fame.
Michael is so funny discussing buying his kids shoes, on Graham Norton , fantastic.
If you haven’t seen it already, you need to watch Michael McIntyre dieting
Great video try tom Allen he is hilarious
I hate those bendy ropes! Last time I was coming home to Heathrow there was nobody at passport control and I tried the undoing each rope technique but got told off by a security officer and he made me walk them instead. I was fuming but being British I said nothing and did the zigzag walk 😂
I always like walking fast on the travelator ! Just to show off
Kinda like u both but ithink u don't get the dry senseless of humour sometimes its sarcastic and trying to offend on purpose to see if u get a reaction like Jimmy Carr as such this is tame
In the UK the slope has to be 1:5 legally for wheelchair use.
I’ve been with my husband for nearly 12 years now and I use the expression, ‘owners start to resemble their pets after a while’ that’s why I dress like him… that and the fact that his shirts are comfy 😂
If had to go to a friends house to able to pull it off, I'd find that a real inappropriate inconvenience.... 🤣
Elite runners run on their toes; and if you run barefoot, you'll naturally run on your toes so you don't jar your knees. It's the advent of thick-soled, shock-absorbent trainers that make most of us run on our heels.
12:05 as far as I'm aware, we don't have any flat ones here in Scotland, we have ones that carry shopping trollies from one floor to another but theyre more like hybrid escalator/travelator things. I grew up in Hong Kong though and they are EVERYWHERE. Hong Kong is home to the world's longest escalator
Queue in UK don't cut the line or you'll get a very sturn tutting. Also say sorry at least 30 times a day
The Ministry of Silly Walks is amazing! Also There are Those Flat Escalators here too, people just Speedwalk on them To go EVEN faster!
I walk and run just like him and my calves are like that too
I've always wanted to race a sprinter on one of those moving floors at the airport :P
