Hi mate. We don't just use an electric kettle for tea, coffee or hot chocolate . You could boil the kettle to say get raw vegetables boiling on the stove instantly instead of using cold wate, to cook rice, instant add water meals like noodles, to boil an egg. Just a few uses 🍜🥚 🍚☕
Yeah we use it all the time in cooking. Pasta, vegetables, sauces, it is just a lot faster than boiling it on the hob. I don’t think kettles work as well in the USA though, I don’t think they can get as much power out of their sockets before they trip the breaker.
Yeah we use a kettle to speed up coming for in hot water. Plus we also have instant soups in mugs. Instant flavoured pasta or noodles in mugs where you just add boiling water (obviously not be as good as the real thing, I can see the Italians fuming at instant pasta, but when you're starving and you don't have a cooker they come in handy). Many of these foods probably come from explorers, army rations, and possibly astronaut rations. Also making couscous, rehydrating dried mushrooms and other dried food for cooking with them. Taking the skin of tomatoes for cooking. Loads of uses. Especially when cooking other foods. Plus making hot drinks that are not brewed coffee. Making instant stock, if you don't have masses of tubs or cartoons of stock to hand.
@@FixTheLanes lol. 😂 I'm sure that's why many students who survive on instant food and toasted sandwiches at Uni in dorms, can't wait to get home and eat regular food, plus get their laundry done.
Cookies like cake goes hard when stale, biscuits go soft, with rare exceptions of ones that call themselves cookies but act like biscuits such as Maryland cookies.
The highschoolers are from Fulham boys high school, and yes that is their school uniform. Jolly and Korean Englishman have a full series with them, even taking some out to Korea. You should check out more of them
I loved watching them in Korea. Max and Armand always hilarious and the way Bobby was so excited and kept wanting to share all his adventures with his mum was just so heartwarming and adorable.
I knowwwwww Why the hell would you heat the water in the microwave? Why would you add milk? Why would you dumb the tea bag like that? I’m dying on the inside.
It is a joke, I am subscribed to her channel. Her husband is in the military and she lived in England for 6 years. She just made the tiktok as a p**s take, I guess cause she knew it would get views!
That IS definitely their school uniform, that’s what most secondary/high school’s wear, my boys do. The blazer normally has your school emblem or name on it and ties vary in colour and patterns plus the blazer and trousers can be different colours for different schools. My kids wear navy blue. Also shirts may not necessarily be white depending on your school. At my kids school, there are 4 houses and each house has its own colour tie to represent it.
I use the kettle many many times per day. For my many pots of tea of course, but also when I cook to speed up the process or for instant soups, instant broth and other instant stuff like that :D Then also I have my hot water bottle for when my feet are cold or I get sick. You can also use hot water for cleaning for example to reduce bacteria or I also use boiling water and dish liquid to clean the drain or pipes.
Also (especially with all the gas/electricity increases), it's quicker and less costly to boil water in the kettle, if making things like pasta... Saves on all the gas used to 'bring a pan to the boil' first - just stick a pan on stove and add the boiling water from kettle!
They aren't widespread in countries like the US due to the 110V powersupply; they take an age to boil. Useful for hot drinks, cooking and emergency body washes if the heating packs in.
It takes less energy to boil with an electric kettle than on a stove. (which means less money spend on said energy) So I usually go half-half. Put the kettle on, put water in the pot. And when the water in the kettle is done, I add it to the pot. Besides that it is also good for everything that just needs hot water. Besides tea there are instant noodles and soups or instant cappucchino.
@@spacechannelfiver I don't know about that. Here in Canada, we have the same voltage power outlets as the U.S. We use electric kettles a lot. Boiling water is quick and efficient.
'Aitch' is actually the correct way to say 'H' in British English, it gives the pronunciation 'a-ch' in the dictionary. It's not a matter of laziness or mispronunciation, I was scolded in primary school for saying 'haitch'
that's also how we pronounce it in our country and never knew that it is pronounce as haitch in some until I watched Jolly's video lol. It shocked me tbh.
As a German I can say we Europeans do love our kettles, I’m also pretty sure the same goes for a lot of Asian countries, it’s just great for getting hot water super quick not just for making tea
I use my kettle to pre-boil any water i need for cooking noodles or potatoes or whatever efficiently. Boil 2l or so in the kettle within 2 minutes while i heat my pot with a tiny amount of water.
What they were wearing was pretty normal for a school here. Blazer, shirt, school tie, dark trousers, and black shoes. An electric kettle will be used for various hot beverages, instant noodles, and hot water bottles. The voltage for our electricity is about double what you have in the US, so your electric kettles heat up far slower.
we don't have electric kettles here because their is no need for them. pretty much every house has a keurig or equivalent for coffee. we also have hot water taps in our sinks and refrigerators...
@@whattiler5102 also, I don't think you, "always start with cold water" unless you're using the royal we. 25% of Britons aren't even tea drinkers, evidently. 😬
Whenever you cook anything in a pot with water an electric kettle is very useful instead of waiting 10 mins for the water to boil on the hob. As soon as my kettle stops working top priority is to get another. Does probably help that our Electricity is twice the voltage of yours so kettles boil about 2x as fast.
About the electric kettles… Well, even though I’m not British (I’m from France), they come in quite handy because you can take water to boiling point quicker than on a stove and therefore get water ready for cooking faster for example. At least I use it quite often for that purpose and know many others that do too
Almost all children in the UK wear a school uniform. Many in Secondary (High School) education have to wear a blazer and tie. The tie and colour of uniform is different for each school, so students are 'uniformly' dressed.
I boil the kettle to make real coffee in my pour over system. I also use it to make soup, to add to my steamer since a kettle is ten times faster than the stove, and for washing up heavily stained pots and pans.
The kettle thing still blows my mind. It is literally the first thing almost all British people would buy. Even if they don't drink tea! The thing you have to remember though is that we have 240 volts so they work much quicker here. Oh and math is the American pronunciation that still jars with me the most. The s on mathematics is there because it is plural, that's why if you shorten it, it stays.
The channel the video is from , Jolly, is really funny and full of Britishness! If you want more of the teenagers there’s a whole series on the Korean Englishman channel ( same creators as Jolly)
Ryan, there are hundreds of British accents! These lads are from the south so you’ll always understand them. They’re reading from Reddit or something but it’s all part of their adventures with Josh and Olly. If your English classes in America were set out effectively, part of what you studied would include phonics, phonetics, etymology, all the parts of speech, phrases and clauses, as well as parsing and analysis. But Americans seem to be lacking in all of these areas. Also there’s a big difference between letter names, letter sounds, and words written as pronounced. Letter W has a name: Double U. British say stupid as stewpid
I literally don’t drink tea at all (yes I am British) and barely drink coffee of the instant variety in the house - I use my kettle constantly! For pasta, rice, potatoes, veggies - literally anything you want to boil 😂 get one. It’ll revolutionise your life. And while you’re at it get an air fryer.
A cookie is a biscuit with chocolate chips within the dough. We do have gravy which we put on a roast dinner. The lads are in Secondary school. That’s their uniform which is common across the uk. Fish & chips = cod or haddock mostly xxx
Reasons for a kettle: - Tea - Hot Chocolate - Coffee - Instant Noodles - Sterilising Water - Steaming with essential oils - Anything else that needs boiling water
We also only call hard biscuits such as digestives, jammy dodgers and bourbons biscuits, but we’ll call the large bendable cookies (usually with choc chips) cookies
Josh and Olly took some of the boys and their teacher, to South Korea for about two weeks and they went on all kinds of amazing adventures, especially with food!
A Cookie...is a Cookie, its a type of Biscuit that usually has Chocolate pieces in it. Biscuit is from the french "twice baked" which is how they are made, so a Cookie is a type of biscuit but we have others
While visiting someone in the US I was asked if I wanted something to drink. I don't drink tea, but I asked for a cup of hot water. I was then completely disgusted when they simply filled a mug from the hot tap! I was also horrified to see them making their baby's bottle formula with water from the hot tap!
as i was told a while back the difference is cookies are soft and biscuits are hard. when they go stale it's the cookies that are hard and the biscuits soft

Regardless, zee made its way to the British colonies in North America.
I mean english is a germanic language and in germany we pronounce it like "tsett". So taking the consonant shift into account it would end up being "zed" modern english.
With electric cattle you can use not only for tea or coffee, but also for soups, or to preboil the water before putting in in a pan to cook something, it saves energy.
Ryan, with your sense of humour, you would thoroughly enjoy visiting Britain. I lived there for five years and miss it a lot. All the best from Finland!
It’s not the amount of milk, it’s that the tea leaves only give up their flavour when covered with boiling water, then you can add the milk. If you like it milky, add hot milk.
I was really surprised to hear that Americans don't use electric kettles. In Europe, many countries use. My family used an electric kettle throughout my childhood, and so did I. Therefore, I was shocked. For us, it is like a washing machine, which is necessary in every home.
Most people don’t have a coffee maker at home so use kettle to make instant coffee as well, or milo or whatever. Those kids were trying to pronounce the words the way an American would rather than do the accent, as the words themselves are said quite differently in UK (and New Zealand where I’m from). Yes they were their school uniforms; most schools have uniforms in UK and NZ.
The first film "Trainspotting" was based on a book by the same name. It came out in two versions, one in British English, the other in phonetic Scottish accent.
@AmyLine-d5m Last year was the hottest and one of the driest years recorded in the UK. The previous two 2021/22 were also hot and below normal levels of precipitation. However, at the end of September 2023 it rained and carried on raining 'most' days until April. This summer just gone was also exceptionally wet, going against the decade trend, but going to show that even in climate change there are still weather variations. I am probably more aware of weather fluctuations because I am 'head' groundsman of a cricket club and weather changes rule much of your time when involved with that.
That IS their school uniform! We do have gravy, but it's different from yours. Also one of the boys featured, Armand, is French, so has a slightly different accent!
Nah, the gravy is pretty much the same. (I think the lad was just saying that he, personally, doesn't like gravy.) Although you can't get gravy granules in the US so, if you're not making it from scratch you have to add a packet mix to a saucepan of cold water and then heat it up on the hob. But I suppose the lack of gravy granules doesn't matter because no electric kettle anyway!
Kettle for all kinds of hot drinks, both instant and ground coffee in a caffetiere. Also for things like pot noodles. Also sometimes in cooking, where its quicker and more energy efficient to boil the water in the kettle rather than the pan.
I think it’s important to remember that power supply in the US is vastly different, so much lower than here in the UK. Whereas I would boil the kettle then pour in the pan for pasta/veg etc it probably would take an absolute age in the US.
One of these days, I really wanna see this guy come to England for a holiday or something. He’s so wholesome and curious about Britain I’d love to see him actually experience a British pub, fish n’chips and London. As well as experience other parts of the UK
Also, some of the things I use a kettle for as a Brit: -Tea -Herbal infusions -Hot water for Cous cous -Hot water for cooking -Hot water for instant coffee -Hot water for noodles or ramen -Hot water for hot water bottle -Hot water for heating up water for cooking pasta (it goes to boil faster because the water was already hot) :)
I had to learn Australian vocabulary and expression after moving here in my late teens many years ago, so I know just how frustrating these idioms can be. I remember getting out of a Black taxi cab in London on a family holiday when my then just twenty year old daughter turned to me and asked what language was the cabbie (driver) speaking? After my son and I stopped laughing I responded “Cockney” and got this blank look from her, followed by the question “and what country is that”? My Australian wife turned to her and said, he was born within the sound of bow bells in London and he was also laying that accent on rather thick! I’ve previously had to translate local English for my wife on previous trips especially when heavy accents and expressions come into play while in London and the Midlands.
I (not British) use my electric kettle for coffee (can't drink tea) but mostly for boiling water when I am cooking pasta, rice, potatoes... Saves energy.
Our electricity is double yours so our kettles boil in 2 mins not 6 and we use them for lots of different things including instant coffee. Yes our kids wear these uniforms.
Moment: 6:52, yes, yes it is how our uniform looks, and you can’t remove the coat/jacket/blazer or whatever the school makes you wear, not matter how hot it is, it’s pain
I use a kettle for coffee, tea, hot chocolate, sometimes to top up the sink if i want extra hot water, it can also be used when cooking such as wilting veg, filling a pan with water so it doesn't take as long on the hob (stove top), making pot noodles (not noodles with pot in them lol, just a plastic tub of flavoured noodles) and many more.
I was so shocked on my trip to the states that no one had a kettle its something i had never thought of.. its for everything not just tea... my American friends now have said kettle and cannot believe they never used one!
Idk if it's just in my area of the uk but we technically don't call anything a 'cookie' on its own. There's chocolate chip cookies or raisin cookies for example which some people shorten down to 'cookie'
But the "gravy" they put on their scone like "biscuits" isn't what we think of as gravy either. It's a white sauce with sausage bits. So biscuits and gravy contains neither biscuits nor gravy to us.
We do have gravy, just not the American kind, our gravy is what you would get on a roast dinner. There is a difference between cookies and biscuits here too. Biscuits are generally all hard and crunchy or crumbly, cookies are more chewy and soft.
Those suits are their uniforms but they seem to go to a pretty fancy school - my blazer (jacket) was a plasticky piece of crap 😆 and so were the pants - all polyethylene. Theirs seemed like proper fabric - very dapper. I liked having a school uniform because it meant I didn't have to think about what to wear at all. EZ game :D
The most shocking part was watching someone epically fail to make a cup of tea, don't you have tea bags in the USA? I don't put the milk in until the liquid is black with tea infusion, but granted I do like my tea very strong.
I'm pretty sure it was a joke, but Americans, as a rule, don't drink hot tea - or, what the rest of the world simply calls, 'tea'. In America, 'tea' is cold and usually comes out of a tin/can.
@@eniej The cold tea is bought in a tin, just like soft drinks. It's drunk straight from the fridge or poured over ice in a glass. Not the sort of comfort drink enjoyed in most other English-speaking countries. Apparently deliciously refreshing on a hot day though. Don't knock it till you've tried it, as they say.
I don’t speak for everyone in the US, but we do indeed have tea bags, and loose tea, though I don’t think that’s used nearly as often. I’m not a big tea drinker myself, however, what my family has always done is heat a mug of water in microwave and then stick the tea bag in for a while. I think many people do have tea pots or electrical kettles, but again, unless they drink tea on a daily basis, they’re going to just pop it in the microwave.
Using an electric cattle for: hot water bottles, yum yum noodle soups, tea, instant coffee, instant broth, cleaning, couscous... How do you guys live without that 😅
English is such a fascinating language. As far as I know, it's the British accents that changed more than the American ones. England is also known for it's great variety of accents, so there's not one singular accent that defines it. I have another reaction suggestion for you on this topic: th-cam.com/video/EasY9RSMK5E/w-d-xo.html
we use electric kettles for coffee, tea and hot chocolate , gravy granules and other stuff : ) like anything you need to add hot water too. trust me its used lol
In Canada too we use our kettles for more than tea eg I prefer instant coffee, so I would use the kettle. If you have to cook something in a saucepan on the stove. Kettle water boils faster than trying to boil it on the stove element. The only things I use a microwave for is defrosting and to cook a microwave dinner.
I follow these guys (Jolly) and they have some amazing content. They took all those high schoolers, who just graduated, to Korea for 3 weeks. They're all amazing kids. Also, I'm a Newfie Canadian, who watches Coronation Street every day, so I have no trouble understanding them at all. Plus, half of Newfoundland sounds like British or Irish.
last summer it was hot in the UK mostly dry and even the North was 36c and it wasn't just the odd day most of the summer was like 25c to 36c in the North and London reached 40c ! it was the best summer I've ever been through it felt like I was in Spain or the south of France : ) I'm 31 yrs
No no no.. You make tea in a teapot . Warm the pot first with hot water, add the tea bags or loose tea, add boiling water, leave to brew for about 5 minutes .
I don’t drink tea or coffee but still use my electric kettle all the time. If I’m cooking I’ll boil the water in the kettle and then put it in the pan.

I mean english is a germanic language and in germany we pronounce it like "tsett". So taking the consonant shift into account it would end up being "zed" modern english.
@@Skyl3t0n Thanks friend, don't forget British (before Saxons), Celtic, Latin & French
@@Skyl3t0n Sorry, forgot Nordic
With electric cattle you can use not only for tea or coffee, but also for soups, or to preboil the water before putting in in a pan to cook something, it saves energy.
Those electric cattle are all the craze aren't they? I suppose that is what electric cattle prods are for.
@@whattiler5102is that why you guys had mad cows ? 😂
Please don't put soup in a KETTLE.
Ryan, with your sense of humour, you would thoroughly enjoy visiting Britain. I lived there for five years and miss it a lot. All the best from Finland!
It’s not the amount of milk, it’s that the tea leaves only give up their flavour when covered with boiling water, then you can add the milk. If you like it milky, add hot milk.
It was a joke video about how SOME Americans might think it is made!
@@joyfulzero853 thank god for that…. I was going No, Nooooo, not like that! All thru..lol
You can use a kettle for anything you use hot water for! Pasta, rice, hot drinks, pot noodles, boiling veggies etc
A cookie to a Brit is a very large, thick chewy biscuit with nuts or chocolate in.
Not just large tho what about Maryland
@@JC-kn3sx they're only called cookies because of Maryland being an American state. They;re still biscuits in my eyes.
If you like them, there is also a video of them trying USA snacks. 😏😉
Plus, I think there's one of them trying Thanksgiving food for the first time.
That was brilliant, thank you Ryan. Those nice young students conducted themselves admirably with intelligence, wit and charm. Very entertaining
I was really surprised to hear that Americans don't use electric kettles. In Europe, many countries use. My family used an electric kettle throughout my childhood, and so did I. Therefore, I was shocked. For us, it is like a washing machine, which is necessary in every home.
Most people don’t have a coffee maker at home so use kettle to make instant coffee as well, or milo or whatever. Those kids were trying to pronounce the words the way an American would rather than do the accent, as the words themselves are said quite differently in UK (and New Zealand where I’m from). Yes they were their school uniforms; most schools have uniforms in UK and NZ.
The first film "Trainspotting" was based on a book by the same name. It came out in two versions, one in British English, the other in phonetic Scottish accent.
Cookies bend. Biscuits snap.
I LOVE JOLLY!! I found their channel during COVID. These kids are great!! I feel like I’ve watched them grow up!
13:37 As a Brit, I can confirm that if we ever have a day where it doesn't rain, someone committed some form of ritual sacrifice.
In that case why do we have hose pipe bans most summers?
@@whattiler5102 Have no clue
@AmyLine-d5m Last year was the hottest and one of the driest years recorded in the UK. The previous two 2021/22 were also hot and below normal levels of precipitation. However, at the end of September 2023 it rained and carried on raining 'most' days until April. This summer just gone was also exceptionally
wet, going against the decade trend, but going to show that even in climate change there are still weather variations.
I am probably more aware of weather fluctuations because I am 'head' groundsman of a cricket club and weather changes rule much of your time when involved with that.
@@whattiler5102 I'm from Britain as well you know and I never heard about this on the news because I don't watch it.
Taking up on what you said, this is how I’d spell the way Americans talk:
Hairy Poddeur
That IS their school uniform! We do have gravy, but it's different from yours. Also one of the boys featured, Armand, is French, so has a slightly different accent!
His parents are French but he grew up in England.
Nah, the gravy is pretty much the same. (I think the lad was just saying that he, personally, doesn't like gravy.) Although you can't get gravy granules in the US so, if you're not making it from scratch you have to add a packet mix to a saucepan of cold water and then heat it up on the hob. But I suppose the lack of gravy granules doesn't matter because no electric kettle anyway!
Kettle for all kinds of hot drinks, both instant and ground coffee in a caffetiere. Also for things like pot noodles. Also sometimes in cooking, where its quicker and more energy efficient to boil the water in the kettle rather than the pan.
Electric kettle uses-pot noodles,hot chocolate and getting rid of red ant nests
I think it’s important to remember that power supply in the US is vastly different, so much lower than here in the UK. Whereas I would boil the kettle then pour in the pan for pasta/veg etc it probably would take an absolute age in the US.
One of these days, I really wanna see this guy come to England for a holiday or something. He’s so wholesome and curious about Britain I’d love to see him actually experience a British pub, fish n’chips and London. As well as experience other parts of the UK
Also, some of the things I use a kettle for as a Brit:
-Tea
-Herbal infusions
-Hot water for Cous cous
-Hot water for cooking
-Hot water for instant coffee
-Hot water for noodles or ramen
-Hot water for hot water bottle
-Hot water for heating up water for cooking pasta (it goes to boil faster because the water was already hot)
:)
Ryan, I and I'm sure any Brits watching, lost the will to live seeing her 'make tea'.....God I hope that was a joke 😂😂😂
You can use boiling water for cooking too (spaghetti etc), it's faster than a stove alone and saves energy
I had to learn Australian vocabulary and expression after moving here in my late teens many years ago, so I know just how frustrating these idioms can be.
I remember getting out of a Black taxi cab in London on a family holiday when my then just twenty year old daughter turned to me and asked what language was the cabbie (driver) speaking? After my son and I stopped laughing I responded “Cockney” and got this blank look from her, followed by the question “and what country is that”? My Australian wife turned to her and said, he was born within the sound of bow bells in London and he was also laying that accent on rather thick! I’ve previously had to translate local English for my wife on previous trips especially when heavy accents and expressions come into play while in London and the Midlands.
I (not British) use my electric kettle for coffee (can't drink tea)
but mostly for boiling water when I am cooking pasta, rice, potatoes...
Saves energy.
11:43 I think every European would be surprised.
What they're wearing is a pretty average secondary school uniform.
Our electricity is double yours so our kettles boil in 2 mins not 6 and we use them for lots of different things including instant coffee. Yes our kids wear these uniforms.
Moment: 6:52, yes, yes it is how our uniform looks, and you can’t remove the coat/jacket/blazer or whatever the school makes you wear, not matter how hot it is, it’s pain
I use a kettle for coffee, tea, hot chocolate, sometimes to top up the sink if i want extra hot water, it can also be used when cooking such as wilting veg, filling a pan with water so it doesn't take as long on the hob (stove top), making pot noodles (not noodles with pot in them lol, just a plastic tub of flavoured noodles) and many more.
instant coffee, pot noodles, horlicks, hot chocolate
Thankyou so much for reacting to this video. This made my day!
I was so shocked on my trip to the states that no one had a kettle its something i had never thought of.. its for everything not just tea... my American friends now have said kettle and cannot believe they never used one!
PS: most of the series with the students is on their other channel, Korean Englishman.
Anytime I get to watch Jolly, is like anytime I get to watch your channel, or that of Tyler. Hope you have a great day, Ryan.
Idk if it's just in my area of the uk but we technically don't call anything a 'cookie' on its own. There's chocolate chip cookies or raisin cookies for example which some people shorten down to 'cookie'
Yes thats school,uniform mines the same just the yellow is green and no white dots
"What an I gonna do cook noodles"
Me: might seem crazy what im bout to say
You use kettles for pot noodles in case you don't know
06:42, the guy in this picture........Is from Belgium LMAO
8:10 a dumpling maybe? We wouldn't put gravy on a scone either.
But the "gravy" they put on their scone like "biscuits" isn't what we think of as gravy either. It's a white sauce with sausage bits. So biscuits and gravy contains neither biscuits nor gravy to us.
We do have gravy, just not the American kind, our gravy is what you would get on a roast dinner.
There is a difference between cookies and biscuits here too. Biscuits are generally all hard and crunchy or crumbly, cookies are more chewy and soft.
Those suits are their uniforms but they seem to go to a pretty fancy school - my blazer (jacket) was a plasticky piece of crap 😆 and so were the pants - all polyethylene. Theirs seemed like proper fabric - very dapper. I liked having a school uniform because it meant I didn't have to think about what to wear at all. EZ game :D
Fulham Boys school has no fees as it's a state school
The most shocking part was watching someone epically fail to make a cup of tea, don't you have tea bags in the USA? I don't put the milk in until the liquid is black with tea infusion, but granted I do like my tea very strong.
That was a deliberate JOKE video about making the tea!
I'm pretty sure it was a joke, but Americans, as a rule, don't drink hot tea - or, what the rest of the world simply calls, 'tea'. In America, 'tea' is cold and usually comes out of a tin/can.
@@rua5818 Tin/Can? Right, remind me to never go to America
@@eniej The cold tea is bought in a tin, just like soft drinks. It's drunk straight from the fridge or poured over ice in a glass. Not the sort of comfort drink enjoyed in most other English-speaking countries. Apparently deliciously refreshing on a hot day though. Don't knock it till you've tried it, as they say.
I don’t speak for everyone in the US, but we do indeed have tea bags, and loose tea, though I don’t think that’s used nearly as often. I’m not a big tea drinker myself, however, what my family has always done is heat a mug of water in microwave and then stick the tea bag in for a while. I think many people do have tea pots or electrical kettles, but again, unless they drink tea on a daily basis, they’re going to just pop it in the microwave.
I ain’t been to school for almost 15 years but that’s standard school uniform to me so yeah we all had to put up with that each morning 😒🤣
Using an electric cattle for: hot water bottles, yum yum noodle soups, tea, instant coffee, instant broth, cleaning, couscous... How do you guys live without that 😅
Oh you did Jolly! 😍 josh and Ollie, they have such a great channel especially the series with the high schoolers!
There is a whole series of these kids experiencing Korean food, which does have spices. Worth watching!
Nah in Britain a biscuit is what Americans call a cookie
A cookie for us is a chocolate chip thing
The fact that he’s never heard anyone say ‘take the mick’ as a British person kills me inside
English is such a fascinating language. As far as I know, it's the British accents that changed more than the American ones. England is also known for it's great variety of accents, so there's not one singular accent that defines it.
I have another reaction suggestion for you on this topic: th-cam.com/video/EasY9RSMK5E/w-d-xo.html
Jolly , a channel that brings happiness.
we use electric kettles for coffee, tea and hot chocolate , gravy granules and other stuff : ) like anything you need to add hot water too. trust me its used lol
Watching that girl make a cup of tea was excruciating.
14:10 “That is pretty cold, innit?” You sound British already. 😂
These high schoolers were on KoreanEnglishman channel. They also took some them to Korea to experience the culture & the food!
In Canada too we use our kettles for more than tea eg I prefer instant coffee, so I would use the kettle. If you have to cook something in a saucepan on the stove. Kettle water boils faster than trying to boil it on the stove element. The only things I use a microwave for is defrosting and to cook a microwave dinner.
the left interviewers resemblance to the young Jim Carrey was my primary thought watching this video, and I still can't unsee it :D
I follow these guys (Jolly) and they have some amazing content. They took all those high schoolers, who just graduated, to Korea for 3 weeks. They're all amazing kids. Also, I'm a Newfie Canadian, who watches Coronation Street every day, so I have no trouble understanding them at all. Plus, half of Newfoundland sounds like British or Irish.
I'm not British, but I'm european, we use electric kettles for tea, coffee, and ramen noodles. Its more useful than a microwave 😂
last summer it was hot in the UK mostly dry and even the North was 36c and it wasn't just the odd day most of the summer was like 25c to 36c in the North and London reached 40c ! it was the best summer I've ever been through it felt like I was in Spain or the south of France : ) I'm 31 yrs
Love your videos!!!!!
We need more of these video reactions from you there is not many 😭
That’s actually their uniform. It’s the Fulham Boys School, the headmaster is friends with the camera guys (Josh and Ollie)
Cod is the main fish in fish and chips.
No no no.. You make tea in a teapot . Warm the pot first with hot water, add the tea bags or loose tea, add boiling water, leave to brew for about 5 minutes .
I don’t drink tea or coffee but still use my electric kettle all the time. If I’m cooking I’ll boil the water in the kettle and then put it in the pan.
i love the korean englishman's series with the british highschoolers! especially with them trying korean food!
I love their channel, it's so funny 😁
Bro rlly said suits
you and your brother do great reactions together and separately , have a great day fae S.W.Scotland
