The first comment says it all! It's the English language not the American language. You just happen to try and speak it and write it even though you miss out letters that are supposed to be there.
It was actually done on purpose in America to try to 'tidy up' (some say dumb down) the English language. The only real rule in English spelling is "All rules will be broken" likely because the language originated from so many different sources.
Beer was kept in cold cellars and or ice houses for centuries, to keep it cool. Pubs have always had cold beers and lagers either on tap or in bottles. If you buy beer in a supermarket put in the fridge to cool it. Also our fridges are not all tiny, we have huge fridge freezers too, just some people prefer a smaller fridsge. It's a matter of choice.
Cask conditioned traditional ales are a living thing best kept at cellar temperature. This is between 11-14 degrees centigrade. During the last war Americans used to chilled lagers found traditional ales were warm compared to US beer that are chilled within an inch of its life! Try drinking an English ale and compare it to an American beer at 14 degrees Celsius (57 Fahrenheit), then get back to me.
Can't really change Snickers - it was always Snickers because of the family horse. They used Marathon to promote is as a healthy kind of bar because they handed them out after a marathon. Also they call Lynx (the deodorant), Axe in the US so it's odd that.
The beer thing is historical: it goes back CENTURIES before the invention of refrigeration!!! We Brits have been brewing beer (basically "Ale" with added Hops) for so long that we have got used to it not being as cold as a frozen pizza!! It is served below room temperature and is never, repeat NEVER, "warm". 🙂
British people haven't been subjects since 1981, they're citizens of the UK with a Monarch as their head of State, and the Monarch does have power but completely understands that as soon as they use it, it will be removed, as they will also be removed (they have power as long as they never use it)
You don’t know what you’re talking about. We are a constitutional monarchy. The King does have real executive powers, but chooses to delegate it all to elected government of the day. The monarch however, will only ever use those powers in an extreme emergency such as war. King George VI, famously tasked Churchill to lead a coalition government to fight the war etc etc. Other than that the king as head of the Christian church and defender of the faith, serves his people through lifelong duty service. Ps Yes we are subjects, British subjects. It says so on your passport. No one from abroad is going to mess with you if you’re a British subject.

Prince Harry has recently demonstrated just how ignorant he is. Going to Court with the understanding that his word would sway the Judge? Who does that? We all know its what you can prove in a court.

They both appear to be so entitled that they think they can sign huge deals, but not have to do anything for the money. Prince Harry had much going for him in the UK. He was loved, respected, had a military career. Nott to mention a cushy role as a Royal, but he and Markel turned it all to rubbish. I predict that Megan Markel will leave Prince Harry in the near future and find herself a billionaire or two to marry. Prince Harry will be left wanting to return home and trying to ingratiate himself back in the UK as an HRH. But he has burned his bridges and may well be relegated to the role of a nobody, like Prince Andrew has.
Ale, including Bitter, Mild, Pale Ales etc, were traditionally served directly from a Cask (Barrel). These were kept in a cellar that is normally cool but not refrigerated.
As an amateur brewer, people that say our beer is warm or "room temperature" are clueless! Real ale should be cellar temperature which is around 10 - 12 deg Centigrade and a decent lager at 6 or 7 degrees C, poor quality lagers even colder. If a room was kept at 11 degrees centigrade most would consider it far too cold.
@@charlieyerrell9146 ...... and to be fair so does most of the 'industrial' beers that are brewed, though sometimes that is down to poor serving/regional preferences, forcing the beer through a tightly screwed down 'sparklet' might give you a creamy head but knackers the flavour.
Also, (coming not from an amateur brewer but a professional drinker) Real Ale is pumped at the bar as it is naturally carbonated, rather than being "on tap" like a lager, and the flavour is greatly enhanced by it NOT being chilled. Real Ale needs to be drunk fairly quickly too, so being at room temperature helps determine its quality and freshness.
It’s quite simple. American beer is not good so it has to be cold so it freezes your taste buds and you can’t taste it. Ales taste well and are best slightly cool.
Beer - get on to one of the CAMRA (Campaign for Real Ale) videos, they explain all about beer continuing to ferment in cask which is why it's not chilled. I don't understand it all, but there is a real reason for ale not being served chilled.

He’s guessing. Here’s a fairly simple guide. A pudding, whether it’s savoury or sweet, usually, has at some point in its entirety, been through the process of being cooked. Yorkshire pudding, black pudding, roly poly pudding, Eve’s pudding, Christmas pudding, steamed pudding🥱…. Chocolate pudding looks and tastes nothing like chocolate dessert.
I think it can be a benefit having a non-partisan King whose comments carry significant weight whist not actively having any say. I'm not convinced it brings a lot of stability, but it is good to have someone of influence not playing the populist political game. As for whether we are subjects, I think technically we are, but in word only
Real Ale (Beer) is usually kept in a cellar, as a result it’s quite cold. This is the very 😮popular and traditional. Lager is served ice cold and is very different, more like American beer.
As for beer, traditional real ales, stouts, IPAs and similar are best served at something close to traditional cellar temperature and brewed for this. Largers & pilsners are expected to served much colder, much closer just a little above freezing. Many people don't like the stronger flavored real ales, IPAs and so on. Lagers & pilsners are very popular in the UK & most widely recognized as "beer" globally and are served at basically the same temp in UK as the rest of the world.
Looking forward to seeing the new aditions, one thing I am hopeing for is am map builder to let us play our own maps in game and even maybe share then to the comunity.
I did, however, do my Dual Sciences (2x GCSEs but 3 Subjects) and both my English Lang and English Lit GCSEs . For some reason, you could do GCSE Maths Statistics, but only if you were in set 2. So it was possible to get C,C in maths but if you were put in for higher tier, you could only do Maths and get just a C (Upto A+, the mid tier was max C). But nowhere cared what your GCSEs really were, only 5 x C+ grades
All beers are best enjoyed at a very specific temperature, depending on what type it is. I guess to some Americans, who drink EVERYTHING at just above freezing, some of it might seem "warm" but I can assure you that non of it is going to be warm. Even a winter porter, which my grandad would like to heat the poker in the fire and quench it in the porter before drinking it. It still wasn't what could be considered warm.
Warm beer: Its not warm, it's just not as cold as chilled lager. It's what is called 'cellar' temperature - coolish. Bitter, IPA, and rarely seen Mild never suited being chilled; it wasn't down to lack of refrigeration. Hand-pumped beer comes up from the cellar, nice and cool, and you can taste the hops. We have chilled lager too, of course. Subjects - an old archaic term, that's been superceded by 'citizen'. It was relevant when the Monarch had more power, but subject doesn't really mean anything these days - similar to 'well-regulated militia' in the USA.
Beer is served chilled jn UK. Ale needs to be more room temperature because of its contents and the best way of serving to enhance the flavour. There are items on you tube that explain it more fully.
Traditionally British Beer is not warm. Even back through history, beer was stored in cellars beneath the pub, the coolest place in the building. If its pumped from the cellar its cool beer, but its not refrigerated in general
In regards to 'warm beer'. If you were to go to a UK pubs and drink what you may have at home (a little generalisation) , you'd probably have a 'lager'. It would be the same cold temp. Some traditional British beers are known as 'Cask' or sometimes 'Handpulled'. It's live beer delivered to the pub. It needs a little nurturing (some pubs are good at it, some aren't). This type of beer is kept in the pubs cellar so it's sort of cold, but not 'lager' cold. An odd degree off. It's not chilled I'd guess someone not used to it, it might seem a little warm(er) I hate the way I use brackets and quotes too :D
The USA is much warmer overall Henry VIII together with St James's park. A snow house and ice house were built in 1660. Air conditioning was invented in the American south because it basically becomes unlivable in the summer. Chilled drinks in general have always been much more common in the States because of this. So because American people like cold drinks, American beer companies make beers that taste better chilled although most american beer is like making love in a rowing boat.I think the only time I use imperial measurements now is when I read Harry Potter talk to Americans or speak to old people...!Nothing a cargo of tea and 250 years of back taxes wouldn't fix.oh yes and we're loyal to the Crown not the King.
The warm or non chilled beer is probably meaning the local ales you can buy in pubs which usually are poured using an old fashioned pump from a wooden barrel. It's nothing like American ales which then to have gas added and run through a cooler
You are absolutely right when you mention 'stability.' In a strange, but positive way the Monarchy does add stability to the fabric of our country. It is an historical fact that after the beheading of Charles 1, and the interim period when Cromwell took over the Republic as Lord Protector for 10yrs ? or so, that the populace 'demanded' ? the return of the Monarchy - in the event Charles 2 took over that role. Any attempt to remove the monarchial system by a government would, I am certain, result in a civil war. Soft power can be exceedingly powerful. The Trump/Biden situation couldn't happen here. Sheffield South Yorkshire. Incidentally we don't ALL hate the Americans. We value you as a strong Western power - and I used to love The Lone Ranger, Hopalong Cassidy, Tex Ritter, and all the cowboy and western films - thanks.
The last time a monarch (or rather their delegate) used real power was in Australia to dismiss a government. Any Australians will no doubt be able to clarify exactly what happened.
Thinking of the British 'r' at the end of saw I'd add that Americans (and also us unfortunately) have taken to leaving out 't' - twenny (20) or replacing it with 'd' - warder (water), baddle (battle), medal (metal).
There is BEER and there is LAGER BEER that is kept or pumped COLD. The traditional Beers are served at a low not warm temperature but not as COLD as Lager.
Beer has many differing types ... we in Britain have Larger, that is chilled, we have Cider and that is chilled, we have Guinness that is chilled. We have some beers that are not chilled but just slightly cold its called Bitter and Pale Ale.
To sum up about the place of the monarch in the UK, they have long experience and influence rather than power. Many countries around the world (but not the USA) also have Presidents who are figurehead ‘heads of state’ rather than political and carry out the same role.
I think a lot of these misconceptions arise from World War 2 when many toops were stationed in England prior to D-Day. Warm beer, for instance. We do have cold beer, as the UK is not as warm as America beer has not needed to be ice cold. London smogs, which we haven't had since the 1950s. We are not subjects and have not been since 1949, we are citizens.
The British Monarch does have power they can at any time dissolve parliament and force a new one, the last time this was done was in 1708 by Anne (last royal of the Stuart family). Good ol' Royal Assent.
The monarch doesn't really have and hard power but they are a great mediator and are also great for international visits. Plus the amount of money that they make the country in tourism far out ways the cost of keeping them.
Adding an 'R' to words like saw or law, etc., is mainly an English thing (e.g., not something a Scot would normally do). Beer is never served 'warm' in the UK - you don't heat it up. That would be daft.
In 1748, William Cullen, a Scottish professor demonstrated the first use of refrigeration. Unfortunately he didn’t run with the idea, but someone else did later on.
The British military swear allegiance to the monarch, not parliament. We are British subjects because we are British, not because of the monarch or parliament.
British Pubs tend to be old and have deep cellars so most beer is served at cellar temperature which tends to be about 12 degrees Centigrade. Presumable Americans bars have more control over the temperature and suit themselves.
British people who have bought land or property are still tenants of the Crown. This allows for their legal disenfranchisement should it be deemed necessary. Rarely happens except for compulsory purchase.
His Majesty King Charles still does have a remarkable amount of power, for example, the British Army, Navy, Airforce and Royal Marines swear an Oath of Allegiance the King his heirs and successors; and He, the King, can declare War on any country without consulting Parliament. As all of our armed forces are under his Command. As for warm beer, the only beer that is served “warm” as you would think is Ale, which is kept in a cellar at a cooler temperature than ambient temperature, so although not ice cold like a lager 🍺 it is still a cool refreshing beer. Hope this helps
British Beer is served at room temperature … is cold enough outside. American beer and larger is often served chilled because the youngsters think it’s cool and on a really hot day, some think it’s refreshing (uck).
The King has a lot of power which he chooses not to use, there is a yt video about the power the Queen had, very interesting to see what she could do if she chooses to. If we don't moan about somebody or country then they are not important to us.
I used to work for a US company in the UK and on your first teleconference ever for the company one of the participants sounded exactly like Kermit the frog. It didn’t do my performance on the call any good as I was too busy trying to control my laughter. I had thought prior to this that Kermit’s voice had been a representation of what the makers of the show thought a talking frog might sound like. I suppose I must have been wrong.
We are citizens, not subjects. King Chuck is OK, and a certain cohort gets enthused. I am not in their number. Having worked in the US for more than a decade, I use 'math' or 'maths', often to annoy. Some US citizens are awful. Most are really nice, like a bunch of my family who we moved out with years ago and have stayed. As for the beer, ten years in France put paid to that. Some British wine is good, if expensive. Good vid, thanks
Technically we are/were historically 'Subjects' not 'citizens' but nobody relay uses the word or particularly thinks like that. As we haven't really see the Crown as running the country for centuries.
Math sounds like one math, IE Subtraction! But Math's is Add, Subtraction, multiply, Etc. the S on the end means there is a whole range of formulas to be solved. It is like Americans saying, "Look at all the cow in the field" When there are many cows.
Re: the monarchy, yes I agree with you - having someone "at the top" who has no power, works. He gets all the honour, salutes etc whereas the politicians do the work but don't get revered. It always disturbs me about the American system that the President is the one that has the power, and at the same time he is the person who is saluted, who is mentioned in oaths in the Armed Forces, who is addressed as "Mr President" (so far no "Mrs President, note) even after he's been chucked out.
I hate the phrase warm beer, we have cold beers & lagers on tap, 'warm' beer is mainly cask beers & ales, so we don't really have a specific 'warm' beer.
It's not that we didn't have refrigeration. It's the temperature ale and bitter is served at. You call lager 'beer' and that's served colder than real ale.
British people have not been subjects since 1948, when they became citizens under the British Nationality Act.1948. Bur even before that, 'subject' was defined by statute and really meant the same as 'citizen' does now. You could say that the defining moment was the Glorious Revolution of 1688, which confirmed that the monarch rules only with the consent of Parliament.
Is the correct term math or maths? Math and maths are equally acceptable abbreviations of mathematics. The only difference is that math is preferred in the U.S. and Canada, and maths is preferred in the U.K., Australia, and most other English-speaking areas of the world.9 Dec 2020
I've been drinking beer since about 1969, in pubs and at home. I've never had a warm beer in the UK. I've also drank beer in the U.S. it's always been perfectly chilled. However, U.S. beer tastes crap.
The guy in the video was wrong about the monarch not having power. The monarch has absolute power, at least in the UK. By convention, the monarch generally doesn't wield that power, but they can. At this point people usually chime in and say "ah but if they ever tried to use it, we'd throw them out". This however is pure conjecture and if the monarch just refused to go, the armed forces would need to essentially stage a coup. Furthermore Elizabeth wielded her power to overturn democracy when the governor general in Australia dismissed the prime minister in 1975 and Australians never (yet) kicked out the monarchy.
Ale is served at cellar temperature, which is not warm. It is cool. Lagers are served chilled. If you serve real ales chilled, you lose the unique taste of each beer. That's the difference. In say the 1940s/50s you are right that there was little refrigeration techniques, but again the beer was served 'cool' from the cellar, and it would be stored there for a couple of days to cool it down. We don't like warm beer, and I hate anyone to serve it to me. If it's lager, yes it should be chilled.
The British Isles is a geographical group not a political grouping that's why the Republic of Ireland is included, but Ireland is an independent country. I only all a pudding a pudding, which is normally sponge, suet or pastry based. I call a desert a desert in fact no one in my family asks what have we got for pudding?.
The term British Isles is not a neutral geographic term. It's highly political. Hence, it isn't used by anyone in Ireland to refer to Ireland. Anyone who wants to argue that is just an unreconstructed imperialist.

I think it can be a benefit having a non-partisan King whose comments carry significant weight whist not actively having any say. I'm not convinced it brings a lot of stability, but it is good to have someone of influence not playing the populist political game. As for whether we are subjects, I think technically we are, but in word only
Pudding having sugar in it, so your bread is pudding then John.
Yorkshire pudding?
Real Ale (Beer) is usually kept in a cellar, as a result it’s quite cold. This is the very 😮popular and traditional. Lager is served ice cold and is very different, more like American beer.
In our bars/ pubs our beer is mainly on tap and goes through a chilling process . So we don’t have to add ice
Interestingly enough prince harrys real name is henry 😂
As for beer, traditional real ales, stouts, IPAs and similar are best served at something close to traditional cellar temperature and brewed for this. Largers & pilsners are expected to served much colder, much closer just a little above freezing. Many people don't like the stronger flavored real ales, IPAs and so on. Lagers & pilsners are very popular in the UK & most widely recognized as "beer" globally and are served at basically the same temp in UK as the rest of the world.
Puddings are usually boiled eg. Black pudding and Steak and Kidney Pudding. Similar to the pie but boiled instead of being baked.
9:23 Chip shops also sell steak puddings & steak and kidney puddings.
My chip shop is more like a supermarket
Maths is correct being short for Mathematics, not Mathematic...
@@stirlingmoss4621 they save the s for when it's not necessary like New Year and anyway
Looking forward to seeing the new aditions, one thing I am hopeing for is am map builder to let us play our own maps in game and even maybe share then to the comunity.
Real ale should be served cellar temperature, which is typically cool but not cold, nor is it warm.
I did, however, do my Dual Sciences (2x GCSEs but 3 Subjects) and both my English Lang and English Lit GCSEs .
For some reason, you could do GCSE Maths Statistics, but only if you were in set 2. So it was possible to get C,C in maths but if you were put in for higher tier, you could only do Maths and get just a C (Upto A+, the mid tier was max C). But nowhere cared what your GCSEs really were, only 5 x C+ grades
All beers are best enjoyed at a very specific temperature, depending on what type it is. I guess to some Americans, who drink EVERYTHING at just above freezing, some of it might seem "warm" but I can assure you that non of it is going to be warm. Even a winter porter, which my grandad would like to heat the poker in the fire and quench it in the porter before drinking it. It still wasn't what could be considered warm.
Warm beer: Its not warm, it's just not as cold as chilled lager. It's what is called 'cellar' temperature - coolish. Bitter, IPA, and rarely seen Mild never suited being chilled; it wasn't down to lack of refrigeration. Hand-pumped beer comes up from the cellar, nice and cool, and you can taste the hops. We have chilled lager too, of course.
Subjects - an old archaic term, that's been superceded by 'citizen'. It was relevant when the Monarch had more power, but subject doesn't really mean anything these days - similar to 'well-regulated militia' in the USA.
Beer is served chilled jn UK. Ale needs to be more room temperature because of its contents and the best way of serving to enhance the flavour. There are items on you tube that explain it more fully.
So if its 30deg centigrade in pub the beer needs to be the same, I don't think so.
Traditionally British Beer is not warm. Even back through history, beer was stored in cellars beneath the pub, the coolest place in the building. If its pumped from the cellar its cool beer, but its not refrigerated in general
In regards to 'warm beer'. If you were to go to a UK pubs and drink what you may have at home (a little generalisation) , you'd probably have a 'lager'. It would be the same cold temp.
Some traditional British beers are known as 'Cask' or sometimes 'Handpulled'. It's live beer delivered to the pub. It needs a little nurturing (some pubs are good at it, some aren't). This type of beer is kept in the pubs cellar so it's sort of cold, but not 'lager' cold. An odd degree off. It's not chilled
I'd guess someone not used to it, it might seem a little warm(er)
I hate the way I use brackets and quotes too :D
UK beer is stored in the cellar, it's also pumped up from there, it's normally noticeably cooler than room temperature.
The USA is much warmer overall Henry VIII together with St James's park. A snow house and ice house were built in 1660. Air conditioning was invented in the American south because it basically becomes unlivable in the summer. Chilled drinks in general have always been much more common in the States because of this. So because American people like cold drinks, American beer companies make beers that taste better chilled although most american beer is like making love in a rowing boat.I think the only time I use imperial measurements now is when I read Harry Potter talk to Americans or speak to old people...!Nothing a cargo of tea and 250 years of back taxes wouldn't fix.oh yes and we're loyal to the Crown not the King.
The warm or non chilled beer is probably meaning the local ales you can buy in pubs which usually are poured using an old fashioned pump from a wooden barrel. It's nothing like American ales which then to have gas added and run through a cooler
Laura Norder is English, Scots don’t do it. We mangle the language in our own particular way.
You are absolutely right when you mention 'stability.' In a strange, but positive way the Monarchy does add stability to the fabric of our country. It is an historical fact that after the beheading of Charles 1, and the interim period when Cromwell took over the Republic as Lord Protector for 10yrs ? or so, that the populace 'demanded' ? the return of the Monarchy - in the event Charles 2 took over that role. Any attempt to remove the monarchial system by a government would, I am certain, result in a civil war. Soft power can be exceedingly powerful. The Trump/Biden situation couldn't happen here. Sheffield South Yorkshire. Incidentally we don't ALL hate the Americans. We value you as a strong Western power - and I used to love The Lone Ranger, Hopalong Cassidy, Tex Ritter, and all the cowboy and western films - thanks.
Lagers are always served cold, Real Ales (Craft beers/Bitters) are often served room temp or just below as they are stored in beer cellars.
Real beers should NOT be served at 'room temperature' - unless your room is kept at about 50 - 55 degrees Fahrenheit (10 - 13 C).
I'll accept math if they start saying mathematic.
But there are many different mathematic.....s.
The last time a monarch (or rather their delegate) used real power was in Australia to dismiss a government. Any Australians will no doubt be able to clarify exactly what happened.
We don't add an r, we just enunciate clearly.
Laura Norder? Drawring?
There's a floor in that argument :p
Thinking of the British 'r' at the end of saw I'd add that Americans (and also us unfortunately) have taken to leaving out 't' - twenny (20) or replacing it with 'd' - warder (water), baddle (battle), medal (metal).
There is BEER and there is LAGER BEER that is kept or pumped COLD. The traditional Beers are served at a low not warm temperature but not as COLD as Lager.
Beer has many differing types ... we in Britain have Larger, that is chilled, we have Cider and that is chilled, we have Guinness that is chilled. We have some beers that are not chilled but just slightly cold its called Bitter and Pale Ale.
Humour is how we spell it.
Some types of British Beer are not refrigerated because that is the state in which it is developed/created and apparently "best served" ?
To sum up about the place of the monarch in the UK, they have long experience and influence rather than power. Many countries around the world (but not the USA) also have Presidents who are figurehead ‘heads of state’ rather than political and carry out the same role.
To be fair even by the time of George III the King didn’t really have much power
We are citizens not subjects
Lager is usually drunk cold, but Beers, Ales and stouts are served at cellar temperature.
Pudding = the course that comes after the main course, whether blackberry and apple pie (yum) or tiramisu (yum).
Or black pudding.
I'll add haggis since it is referred to as a pudding by Robert Burns in his ode
Suet Pudding!
British beer is best cooler than room temperature but warmer than fridge temperature.
I think a lot of these misconceptions arise from World War 2 when many toops were stationed in England prior to D-Day. Warm beer, for instance.
We do have cold beer, as the UK is not as warm as America beer has not needed to be ice cold.
London smogs, which we haven't had since the 1950s.
We are not subjects and have not been since 1949, we are citizens.
The British Monarch does have power they can at any time dissolve parliament and force a new one, the last time this was done was in 1708 by Anne (last royal of the Stuart family). Good ol' Royal Assent.
The monarch doesn't really have and hard power but they are a great mediator and are also great for international visits. Plus the amount of money that they make the country in tourism far out ways the cost of keeping them.
PS to last comment, American beer is very much like lager except that it by and large doesn't taste that bad.
I remember seeing a video once, the s is correct as maths but it wasn't making it plural, the s had a different correct reason/usage.
Think it was during this: th-cam.com/video/WCGaplvwdKQ/w-d-xo.html
We were subjects until about 40 years ago
It changed in January 1983.
Adding an 'R' to words like saw or law, etc., is mainly an English thing (e.g., not something a Scot would normally do). Beer is never served 'warm' in the UK - you don't heat it up. That would be daft.
In 1748, William Cullen, a Scottish professor demonstrated the first use of refrigeration. Unfortunately he didn’t run with the idea, but someone else did later on.
Yorkshire pudding can be eaten as a pudding with ice cream or custard after all it is the same mix as pancakes.
The British military swear allegiance to the monarch, not parliament. We are British subjects because we are British, not because of the monarch or parliament.
British Pubs tend to be old and have deep cellars so most beer is served at cellar temperature which tends to be about 12 degrees Centigrade. Presumable Americans bars have more control over the temperature and suit themselves.
I went to a micro bruery in San Francisco they explained that their beer, was like England, not bad but so ice cold I couldn't taste it
British people who have bought land or property are still tenants of the Crown. This allows for their legal disenfranchisement should it be deemed necessary. Rarely happens except for compulsory purchase.
His Majesty King Charles still does have a remarkable amount of power, for example, the British Army, Navy, Airforce and Royal Marines swear an Oath of Allegiance the King his heirs and successors; and He, the King, can declare War on any country without consulting Parliament. As all of our armed forces are under his Command. As for warm beer, the only beer that is served “warm” as you would think is Ale, which is kept in a cellar at a cooler temperature than ambient temperature, so although not ice cold like a lager 🍺 it is still a cool refreshing beer.
Hope this helps
They say its warm because ale is served slightly warmer and Lager beer. Its still cold though, just not as cold
British Beer is served at room temperature … is cold enough outside. American beer and larger is often served chilled because the youngsters think it’s cool and on a really hot day, some think it’s refreshing (uck).
@@JACB006 british beer is not served at room temperature, please educate yourself
@@ianrobert7687 + or - one or two degrees, but it sure as hell doesn’t get refrigerated or come in an chilled glass.
The King has a lot of power which he chooses not to use, there is a yt video about the power the Queen had, very interesting to see what she could do if she chooses to. If we don't moan about somebody or country then they are not important to us.
Good reaction! Interesting to see your reaction
Maths is short for mathematics. Both are plural.
Never bothered me about that really, more bothered by the fact that some people in the States say 2+2 shouldn't equal 4.
I used to work for a US company in the UK and on your first teleconference ever for the company one of the participants sounded exactly like Kermit the frog. It didn’t do my performance on the call any good as I was too busy trying to control my laughter. I had thought prior to this that Kermit’s voice had been a representation of what the makers of the show thought a talking frog might sound like. I suppose I must have been wrong.
We are citizens, not subjects. King Chuck is OK, and a certain cohort gets enthused. I am not in their number.
Having worked in the US for more than a decade, I use 'math' or 'maths', often to annoy.
Some US citizens are awful. Most are really nice, like a bunch of my family who we moved out with years ago and have stayed.
As for the beer, ten years in France put paid to that. Some British wine is good, if expensive.
Good vid, thanks
I appreciate your comment your take/ experiences. Appreciated 🙌
Technically we are/were historically 'Subjects' not 'citizens' but nobody relay uses the word or particularly thinks like that.
As we haven't really see the Crown as running the country for centuries.
In Britain making fun of one another means we like you.
Math sounds like one math, IE Subtraction! But Math's is Add, Subtraction, multiply, Etc. the S on the end means there is a whole range of formulas to be solved. It is like Americans saying, "Look at all the cow in the field" When there are many cows.
You really need to watch Al Murray on Americans he'll put you straight 😂😂😂
Re: the monarchy, yes I agree with you - having someone "at the top" who has no power, works. He gets all the honour, salutes etc whereas the politicians do the work but don't get revered. It always disturbs me about the American system that the President is the one that has the power, and at the same time he is the person who is saluted, who is mentioned in oaths in the Armed Forces, who is addressed as "Mr President" (so far no "Mrs President, note) even after he's been chucked out.
There are no oaths to the president. The oath is too the constitution. Only trump and Republicans think he should have unquestioned loyalty.
I hate the phrase warm beer, we have cold beers & lagers on tap, 'warm' beer is mainly cask beers & ales, so we don't really have a specific 'warm' beer.
Math instead of Maths, but it doesn't stop there. Americans always use singular 'Tile' when UK say Tiles. i.e. Bathroom/kitchen tiles
Yet, LegoS???
It's not that we didn't have refrigeration. It's the temperature ale and bitter is served at. You call lager 'beer' and that's served colder than real ale.
British people have not been subjects since 1948, when they became citizens under the British Nationality Act.1948. Bur even before that, 'subject' was defined by statute and really meant the same as 'citizen' does now. You could say that the defining moment was the Glorious Revolution of 1688, which confirmed that the monarch rules only with the consent of Parliament.
Is the correct term math or maths?
Math and maths are equally acceptable abbreviations of mathematics. The only difference is that math is preferred in the U.S. and Canada, and maths is preferred in the U.K., Australia, and most other English-speaking areas of the world.9 Dec 2020
I've been drinking beer since about 1969, in pubs and at home. I've never had a warm beer in the UK. I've also drank beer in the U.S. it's always been perfectly chilled. However, U.S. beer tastes crap.
The royalty is divisive!.... but i do think it gives stability!.. even though im not really bothered if they're there or not??
Beer and lager are 2 differnt thinks, lager is served cold. Beer or ale is served room temperature
The guy in the video was wrong about the monarch not having power. The monarch has absolute power, at least in the UK. By convention, the monarch generally doesn't wield that power, but they can. At this point people usually chime in and say "ah but if they ever tried to use it, we'd throw them out". This however is pure conjecture and if the monarch just refused to go, the armed forces would need to essentially stage a coup. Furthermore Elizabeth wielded her power to overturn democracy when the governor general in Australia dismissed the prime minister in 1975 and Australians never (yet) kicked out the monarchy.
Ale is served at cellar temperature, which is not warm. It is cool. Lagers are served chilled. If you serve real ales chilled, you lose the unique taste of each beer. That's the difference. In say the 1940s/50s you are right that there was little refrigeration techniques, but again the beer was served 'cool' from the cellar, and it would be stored there for a couple of days to cool it down. We don't like warm beer, and I hate anyone to serve it to me. If it's lager, yes it should be chilled.
Yorkshire pudding can be served with jam [jelly]
The British Isles is a geographical group not a political grouping that's why the Republic of Ireland is included, but Ireland is an independent country. I only all a pudding a pudding, which is normally sponge, suet or pastry based. I call a desert a desert in fact no one in my family asks what have we got for pudding?.
The term British Isles is not a neutral geographic term. It's highly political. Hence, it isn't used by anyone in Ireland to refer to Ireland.
Anyone who wants to argue that is just an unreconstructed imperialist.
Brit's don't drink warm beer, we drink beer which is not chilled. Not the same as warm.
Americans saying 'Math' seems to be a repetition of the 4 letter abbreviation used on a notice4 board.
Notice4 is a cute misspelling. Not intentional.
