european houses are smaller due to the climate that surrounds us. the rooms are easier to heat when small. Electrics sockets, you'll find it almost impossible to pull the plug out by accident or just fall out.
It’s never very hot for a more than 2 weeks at a time, we get a lot of rain and colder weather here, that’s why our country is so green, and we love it 😂🏴
What do we do when it gets hot? Generally it doesn't get hot and it's generally warmer inside than outside, so we open a window and let the cool air in. On those rare occasions when it is super super hot outside - normally one or two days a year if we're very lucky - we do what you do when the AC breaks - we fry!
On those lucky rare hot days we get :D close your curtains with all the windows open, it stops the sun heating up the room while still letting the cool air run through, helps keep the house a lot cooler
We just open windows and back doors patio doors and have fans we plug in its not always that hot in uk for a long period of time so its not a problem to us
When it's hot, I put the fan on. It's free standing, not on the ceiling, so I can put it away in the winter. England is usually either mild weather or chilly anyway and would only get as hot as Florida occasionally.
I have an American style fridge/freezer with filtered water and crushed or cubed ice dispenser it is plumbed into the water mains, we change the water filter every 5 months. I brought it in 2001 (it was on sale £846) so its now 23 years old we had to take out the door and the door frame to get it into our utility room its so wide and deep! the water & ice dispenser has had a lot of use over the years my own 4 children loved the water dispenser and having ice on tap,. Now my grandchildren love it, especially my 5 grandsons who are sports mad they come with their team mates before going to football training to fill up their water bottles lol. I don't know how much longer it will last though it was definitely worth the money. We also have ceiling fan lights in the living room, dining room and 2 of our 3 bedrooms put in around the same year we got the fridge as we were renovating at the time I got the Idea for fanlights from a neighbour who had them. Air con would have been expensive to install and run for the few days we have warm weather in the UK. We call apartments flats, because everything is on the same level so Flat
So, when it's hot here we use fans to try and keep cool. AC isn't installed in houses as it isn't hot enough here to justify their use. We'd only really use them for about a few weeks at most and that's it. Washer-dryer combo: I have one. It's a washing machine and dryer in one. I put my washing in for however long I need to and I also set the drying cycle so it automatically dries the clothes immediately after washing.
Oh okay that makes sense to why you guys does not install AC systems and that is so interesting how the combo washer/ dryer works!! And thank you so much for taking the time to answer I really appreciate it!!
@@USACULTURESHOCK another factor is the age of the housing stock, most are not suitable for air con units to be fitted throughout, my home is a 1950’s ex-council house and I had it rewired ( the previous owner had the wiring done with chock boxes instead of junction boxes) it the electricians 2 days to chisel out the walls for the new wiring as all the walls are brick built.
You can get a washer/dryer in the UK. Tends to he if there is enough space for one aplience. Lots of people have separate. The washer/dryer appliance is a 'condenser dryer'. It takes the water out the air of the dryer. You end up with a reservoir of water in a container. You have to empty this. Ones with a hose instead dry better.
On hot days we open windows, use fans also cold drinks and that's it really. Check out videos on our plugs and plug sockets compared to America's plugs and sockets.
Front loading Washer/Dryer, yes we have those over here. Let's see.. You can search for them to look at from places like Currys PC World to see what they look like. Saves space as the machine will wash cycle and then go into a drying cycle while water taken from clothes is pumped out the same way into the drain. They're not as efficient as a seperate dryer though and do take a bit longer. Plus you can't put another lload of washing in until said drying cycle has finished. Our kitchens here can be very small with no other place to put said items so we learned to compact things to be smaller and do more than one task pretty much.
Track housing after WW2 gave loads of yanks space Fans - it’s rarely over 84 here - don’t need it. It doesn’t get very hot and definitely not humid hot. We don’t see roaches or mosquitoes. When watching LA gang flicks, from colours up to snowfall - I’m always impressed by the house sizes, gardens and street size - crack really f’d that up.
You can get combined washer dryers but they’re not very good and don’t dry the clothes as well. You would select the wash program and when that finishes select a drying program.
If you wanted the drying to be efficient you had to load the washing to just a little less than the maximum drying load.. Least that was my experience. Or you could take half your wash load out, dry the remaining load then some hours later take that out and put the first load you took out back in to dry.
Not everyone in the United Kingdom has a washing machine/Dryer combo. Like me people do have separate washing machines and dryers. The Washer/Dryer combo machines are 💩.
The U.K. has very few mosquitoes, wasps or other stinging insects and bugs so in the summer we open the windows and use large portable fans to stay cool as ceiling fans are almost unheard of here. Only the larger U.K. homes have walk in closets, the average house will have wooden or plastic wardrobes that you buy from a furniture store or from the dreaded flat pack shop like IKEA. The great majority of British homes don’t have a utility or laundry room due to lack of space so the washer/ drier combo makes sense for us and washing machines tend to be situated in the kitchen under worktops as there’s no other option in our small living spaces.
He mustve been rich growing up, im on the outskirts of Glasgow, Scotland and live in a social housing maisonettes. The closets in the US are bigger than our bedrooms😂 Our homes are built to keep the heat in so in summer it can be uncomfortable, thankfully summer is usually only one day in Scotland🤣
@@USACULTURESHOCK also you asked about our Closets, we have wardrobes that are free standing cabinates that can be purchased flat packed and assembled. That is how we take ours with us when we move😁
I think it would be cool to do some more British sport reactions on the channel. You should watch a video called 17 biggest football rivalries in English football. It gives you an idea of the level that rivalries and sport get to over here. It is our life. and there are a bunch of other stuff you could watch like highlights and stuff. If that stuff isn't what interests you then that is more than fine, you can react to whatever you like. You might even like to create a second channel for it if you like. But yeah, just a suggestion.
We wouldn’t put AC on if we had it. Electricity is so expensive we wouldn’t use it. It’s the same with tumble dryers we have to ration how much we use it due to the very high cost of electricity
I would say the major difference in UK and American houses is the build, we build with brick so the houses last for hundreds of years, America has glorified wooden sheds that last no time.
Lawrence hasn’t lived in Britain for 11 years , he no longer knows what it’s like to live in Britain
At least 15 years now. Just looked at the date of his original.
He's a nightmare.
When it's hot, we open a window at each end of the house, causing a breeze through the building. It never gets as hot here as it gets over there.
Oh okay that makes sense

Why do we need a dryer when we have the outdoors, so much better for the environment and the pocket
Air dried clothes are the best
To us, a yard is a paved area. What you call a garden, we csll a flowerbed.
What do we do when it gets hot? Generally it doesn't get hot and it's generally warmer inside than outside, so we open a window and let the cool air in. On those rare occasions when it is super super hot outside - normally one or two days a year if we're very lucky - we do what you do when the AC breaks - we fry!

We do have/get the Brown Recluse spider in Britain, but they rarely come into contact with humans.

I have iced drinks on really hot days.
I use an Electric Fan if it gets too hot.
On hot days we open windows, use fans also cold drinks and that's it really. Check out videos on our plugs and plug sockets compared to America's plugs and sockets.
I have a washing machine and I hang my washing outside to dry.

They’re not like sheds, but they’re not built to last like UK houses.
I’m not seeing any UK or US projects - or Baltimore Wire row houses.
Ìn the UK, you are an estate agent.
We use this term here as well! Thank you so much for taking the time to comment-I really appreciate it!
Sorry this is off topic, but which Jordan’s there on the top shelf, to the right of the Timberlands?
I think it may be a 'stock' background image - and because no 'ghosting', probably with a 'green screen'...?
There sewer pipes run outside on the outside walls and no plug ins in the bathroom.
Do you collect single shoes?
