The dental story is rubbish. British teeth are actually in better shape than Americans. We do not go for the super whitening thing that Americans do. Yes, the NHS does cover dentistry.
While going to see a GP or going to hospital, or calling out and travelling in an ambulance is free of charge there is a small charge for seeing an NHS dentist, it depends on one's income and whether one is on any state benefits. There are small charges to see opticians too and again it depends on one's circumstances. All health services have come under the NHs since 1948 when it was established.
@@valeriedavidson2785 It's not just Cornwall. I'd been with my dentist for over three decades - they've just stopped providing ANY NHS care. And there are no alternatives that aren't private.
The Keep Calm and Carry On posters were a long forgotten poster from the WW2. The most famous WW2 poster in Britain is "Dig for victory" , encouraging people to grow their own vegetables to help the war effort due to food shortages. Then around 2000, a guy won a random box at auction full of uncirculated "Keep Calm and Carry On" posters. He liked them and started reprinting them to sell in the shop he owned. I remember it really blew up around the Queens diamond jubilee in 2012, with everyone was replicating them with alternative wording
I actually don't know anybody who has bad teeth.. ...its something from the second world war...when diet and dental care was poor. Americans came over and then reported teeth care was poor which it was but thats 70 years ago...that myth has continued because it suits the American view of things. ,makes them feel better.
Wolter referred to pouring cream in tea. I have never seen any cafe in the UK sell tea with cream, it is ordinary milk that we put in it. We don't put cream in tea, it is always just milk but we do put cream in coffee though not always. I can't imagine what tea is like with cream in it though I have had it occasionally with condensed milk. Calling a drink of tea "a cuppa" is a southern thing, mainly south east England, e.g. London, Kent, Essex, Sussex. There are many other terms for a cup of tea in many regions of the UK. Coronation chicken was something that was invented for Queen Elizabeth II's coronation, it is curried chicken. Or chicken with a mild curry sauce on it which might be a more accurate description of it.
The NHS covers dentistry for some people and subsidises it for others. But a lot of people use private dentists as the coverage of NHS dentists are poor and what they do is limited. In fact the dental health in the UK is better than in the US, but what we don't have as much of is the cosmetic stuff, the straighting, the veneers and the whitening.
Just more American lies being spread I suspect. Surely, British teeth are WAY better due to free dental care. You gotta take a mortgage out for health care in the US
we have plenty of services for veneers and whitening etc you just have to piss away large amounts of money like americans do haha. Seriously, i had a friend whos american relative spent her frist christmas bonus and monthly paycheque on teeth shit, literally spent thousands. Never thought she had bad teeth before, clearly her employer didnt too.
This man talks out the back of his neck, he knows as much about the English as I know about American Football not a lot! No one puts cream in tea No One its milk! It rains here a lot it can be a quick shower or it can rain on and off all day, sometimes just drizzle other times its torrential, if we didn't go about our day because it rains we'd get nothing done and go no where (It also what keeps our Country green). Dentistry is free for children up to 18, its free for anyone on benefits, pregnant women up until the baby is 1 year old. Everyone else pays either for an NHS dentist if you can find one nowadays or private which is more expensive. The majority of British people have good teeth and dental health, but not many of us go in for cosmetic dentistry like teeth bleaching, veneers unless you're a wanna be celebrity. Our young are on the whole as polite as the adults but can be more outspoken unlike older folk who are passive aggressive or sarcastic. And finally our food in Britain we cater to every taste Yes we have Sunday Roast, Fish & Chips and the Full English Breakfast but we also have Indian, Chinese, Vietnamese, Italian, Caribbean, Japanese, Thai, Greek, French & Spanish restaurants in most towns and cities as well as Mc Donald's, Tim Horton's, Papa John's, Pizza Hut, KFC. Wendy's has now landed and next year Dave's Hot Chicken will open its 1st outlet in London. The only things he's right about We Hate Queue Jumpers, Cream teas (usually on holidays) and the popularity of the Sandwich its a convenient lunch for workers and you can get meal deals every where (sandwich, chips & a soda to Americans) for around £3.50 or 4.55 USD.
It's the usual American reaction to the fact that we don't straighten or whiten otherwise perfectly healthy teeth. I am over 70 and still have all except my wisdom teeth, which were extracted because there was no room for them. So not all British children are subject to the torture of braces, and, even worse, headgear.
@@catgladwell5684 I did have to have braces when I was a child, thanks to 4 extra teeth! I’ve still got all my wisdom teeth and the only thing I had done was a crown on one of my front teeth as it had developed a hole in the enamel. Other than that, I still have the same teeth and they’re as white as teeth should be. That unnatural white and straight as a ruler teeth just looks odd.
The floors of buildings jutting out is called "jettying". It comes from the French verb "jeter" which means to throw. The upper floors were jettied out to increase floor space within the building without obstructing the road. It is said that some jettied houses grew so close together that people could shake hands across the thoroughfare below.
Having a 'cuppa' and a 'chinwag' (casual informal chat). The words just ooze cosiness and comfort, and I start to unwind instantly. May be some cake...
He's wrong about young people. They are as polite as the older ones, but Americans expect teenagers to be submissive and afraid of adults. We don't like that here.
Not really...the average English kid is a feral lache key child..... perhaps not to as old as 22 though, probably around fifteen-ish then they either grow up or become a chav.
Completely agree. I’m 33 and have always been polite and well mannered, my mum brought my brother and I up that way. But she was totally against the ‘’children should be seen and not heard’’ and the ‘’always respect your elders (even if they shit on you)’’. Not sure if my bringing up was typically British though as it had a lot of European influences.
The ‘bad food’ myth came from the experiences of American forces in Britain during the war when there was little food and everyone was on strict rations. Rationing got even stricter post war and lasted into the fifties, so it’s not surprising if food wasn’t so great at the time. I can remember my mum telling me how exited she was to see and taste a banana for the first time when she was a teenager. You certainly wouldn’t have seen too many overweight people at that time!
I have never seen cream in the tea Creamer is condensed milk or evaporated milk depending on location This is what most use if not using milk or avoiding dairy
'Creamer' is vegetable fat (as is Elmleigh) - it has no relation to tinned (evap or condensed) milk. Condensed milk has sugar added; it was what they put in their tea in the trenches of WW1.
@wessexdruid7598 no added sugar to evaporated milk mate it's just milk is sweet and it's a concentrate And it legally any be sold as creamer without being derived from milk it breeches false advertising laws etc etc etc in the EU and UK at least. So I asked Google All made from milk except the latest lactose free so you stand corrected. What is Coffee Creamer Made Of? Coffee creamer is typically made of: 1. Dairy Cream: Traditional coffee creamers are made with dairy cream, which provides a rich and creamy texture. It is often derived from cow’s milk but can also include cream from other animals such as goats or sheep. 2. Sugar: Coffee creamer often contains added sugar to enhance the flavor and sweetness. This can vary depending on the brand and type of creamer, ranging from regular granulated sugar to alternative sweeteners. 3. Emulsifiers: Emulsifiers like dipotassium phosphate or sodium stearoyl lactylate are used to prevent the separation of fat and liquid in the creamer, ensuring a smooth texture. 4. Flavorings: Various flavorings are added to coffee creamers to provide different taste options. Popular flavors include vanilla, hazelnut, caramel, and many more. 5. Thickeners/Stabilizers: Some creamers utilize thickeners and stabilizers to enhance texture and ensure a consistent product. Common examples include carrageenan, guar gum, or xanthan gum. 6. Preservatives: To extend the shelf life of creamers, preservatives like potassium sorbate or sodium benzoate may be added. These ingredients inhibit the growth of mold, yeast, and bacteria. 7. Non-Dairy Alternatives: Non-dairy creamers are becoming increasingly popular among those with lactose intolerance or dietary preferences. These alternatives are typically made from plant-based ingredients like soy, almond, coconut, or oats. So now tell me condensed milk isn't a type of coffee creamer FFS 🤣
@@madyottoyotto3055 It's milk - NOT cream. So, no, NOT CREAMER. (Where do you buy 'traditional' coffee creamer?) The ingredients for Coffee-Mate are: INGREDIENTS: CORN SYRUP SOLIDS, HYDROGENATED VEGETABLE OIL (COCONUT AND/OR PALM KERNEL AND/OR SOYBEAN), DIPOTASSIUM PHOSPHATE, 2% OR LESS OF SODIUM CASEINATE (A MILK DERIVATIVE)**, SODIUM ALUMINOSILICATE, MONO- AND DIGLYCERIDES, ANNATTO COLOR.) And I specifically said only condensed milk has added sugar. I worked at the Carnation factory, making the stuff...
@@madyottoyotto3055 I replied to this, but can't see my reply any more? I didn't say evaporated milk had sugar in. Condensed milk does. I used to work in the Carnation factory making the stuff...

I believe the timber houses stick out the higher up they go because of old tax laws where they only taxed the ground floor space, so you wanted the building at its smallest at the bottom. In Amsterdam they were taxed on the width of the house hence why lots of narrow and tall houses. Life finds a way!
You use the word line because queue has a u in it , Americans are terrified of the letter U you leave it out of words like colour you say tube as if it has an o in it you just can’t say tube .
The top floors overhanging on the Tudor style buildings was because of the cost of floor footage at street level - so it was cheaper to make the upper floors wider Americans calling all British food rubbish is very disrespectful to our parents and grandparents who had to make do with rations during the wars I doubt any Americans have ever experienced years of food rationing - whilst being blitzed night after night
Hi, Coronation Chicken (Originally named "Poulet Reine Elizabeth") - comprises pieces of roast chicken (mainly white meat), served cold and mixed with a curried mayonnaise. It was devised for Queen Elizabeth's coronation in 1953. Originally is was served as a 'dish' (first or second course), typically on a bed of lettuce, for example. Nowadays it has started to appear more regularly as a sandwich filling. For King Charles' coronation, the 'official' new dish was 'Coronation Quiche' .... a quiche containing spinach, broad beans, cheese and tarragon that can be eaten hot or cold. Oh, and never EVER put cream in tea! It's either nothing added (black), or with lemon, or a with a little MILK! LOL
@@duncanalmond7880 I have never seen a British person put lemon in tea but I have seen a lot of foreigners do so. They think that it is the right way to make tea. It is not. Neither is that hot fruit drink called tea. You know that raspberry, blackcurrant, herbal stuff with hot water. That is NOT tea.
@@valeriedavidson2785 Hello Valerie, thanks for your response. I completely agree with you about non-tea "infusions", as things like chamomile and peppermint, and your examples, etc., are (or should be) called. However, I do have to take issue with you about 'lemon'. It is perfectly acceptable and is very long established in the UK to have a slice of lemon (instead of milk) in certain light-bodied black teas, such as Darjeeling, or Earl Grey, or indeed 'Lady Grey' which is a black tea infused with citrus oils in any case. I know a number of people who take those particular tea examples that way. Although it wouldn't work with China tea (in my opinion). Oh, and the other thing I've seen my American friends do, is place the teabag (on its string) in the cup, fill it with boiling water, then just leave the bag in throughout the entire consumption period. Drives me bonkers ... especially when they complain that it gets too strong/bitter ('stewed' in other words) as they drink it ... talk about gormless! lol
Well, I and everyone one I know, family and friends all go the Dentist regularly so he has got that wrong - the NHS Dentists are harder to find though as many Dentists going Private only, but I understand more are joining something called DenPlan - or something like that and it works out cheaper then
It wasn't so much what they were allowed, it was that they paid taxes of the square footage of the ground floor. They could have as much space as they wanted as long as they could afford it
Hi Jibby. When I'm taking tourist friends round, I usually suggest one of my favourite haunts for afternoon tea (that's about as British as you can get). Also, a visit to a typical ancient pub (sometimes with the mugs/pitchers of regular customers hanging from the ceiling. Only the owner of the mug gets to use it, and the bartender knows exactly who's whose as soon as the customer walks in the door). These videos show way more rain than I'm used to, however I must say this year has been more rainy than normal (some years we have droughts). OK, awaiting your next review.
Yes, the town of Stratford [is] upon [the river] Avon, in order to differentiate it from different Stratfords. Sometimes, they might just be 'on' the river as in Bradford-on-Avon -even though that is a completely different River Avon is another part of the country, which is why we would (traditionally) have added the county. Hence, Stratford-upon-Avon, Warwickshire; Bradford-on-Avon, Wiltshire; Stratford, London E15; Bradford, West Yorkshire... Occasionally, they might also be 'on the' as in Lee-on-The Solent, Hampshire; Stratton-on-the-Fosse, Somerset; and rarely, they might be 'under', such as in Newcastle-under-Lyme, Staffordshire, and Ashcott-under-Wychwood, Herefordshire...! Another exceptional descriptive place-names include Ashby-de-la-Zouch, in Leicestershire; and Weston-super-Mare, Somerset - where 'Mare' is a corruption of 'mere' which in thaat particular context probably refers to the flat Somerset Levels, that the town is over and above the level of both it and the sea and so, summarised by the word 'super'.
That's true but when rationing ended, highly processed convenience food became fashionable. Unfortunately a lot of food establishments in very touristy areas used this type of stuff as it was cheap. Add in economic recession in the 1970s with high inflation and labour disputes and the food that most tourists saw was pretty dreadful. Started to change in the 1980s and is now pretty good.
Yes, the NHS covers dental care, although it is a cap on the fee rather than no fee at the point of use. It is free for children, pregnant women and people on low incomes. So it makes dental care more affordable but the big problem in many areas is that there aren't enough NHS dentists. So some of us like me have private dental policies, costing me £29 per month. The cost even for private care is still affordable apart from certain cosmetic dentistry such as implants. My son recently had extensive cosmetic dentistry on the NHS and the cost came to £4,000.
Yes places like Stratford-upon-Avon and Stoke-on-Trent are on the rivers Avon and Trent. We also have places like Bexhill-on-Sea, which is on the coast, and Weston-super-Mare, which is also on the coast - super-Mare is Latin for on-Sea. These suffixes are used differentiate towns with the same name, or just to make them sound nicer.
There is a place in the UK where we don't queue, well not in a line anyway. It is the queue at the bar in a pub, where it has always been a virtual one. The consequences of pushing in are the same though.
Bear in mind when we play a world cup we play the whole world. When you play the world series, few others are involved. This guy is so annoying! Good reaction though.
Hi Connor, there is a modern (and rather amusing) English term which came about in the last decade or so, and that is "Turkey Teeth" or also spelled, "Turkey Teef" (which is how it would be pronounced with an Essex accent). This refers to people who have had shockingly white veneers put on their teeth for that 'Hollywood smile', and it's known as Turkey Teeth because of medical tourism - people in the UK travel to Turkey for cheap cosmetic work like dentistry, hair transplants, as well as the usual bodily plastic surgery - but getting veneers is a hugely popular thing. There have been horror stories of procedures going wrong and shoddy work, but it is a huge thing here (made popular by reality stars from Love Island etc) - which rather blows Wolter's theories about teeth out of the water. Invisalign is also massive in the UK, and even at my dentist (I go to a private dentist because I needed an urgent appointment when I moved locations), they do teeth whitening as standard with your treatment plan.
This video showed that I had been mistaken my entire life. I've always believed I was English, but almost none of the characteristics he mentioned applied to me. I suppose my good teeth should have given the game away.
@16:30 Coronation Chicken is a mild, creamy curry dish, which seems to have won a competition in the run-up to the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II in 1953. The intention was that it would be an unusual dish but one that could be easy to prepare at home with widely available ingredients. Originally served with rice at street parties it's now a pretty popular sandwich filling too.
The queues or lines are usually very civilised because during the wars, we queued for hours for our food rations. It might be an idea for you to look at what each person was allowed per week, I think you may be shocked. However, that's where our politeness in queueing first was noticed. It was probably the same before but I don't know for sure, as I've not seen pictures of that but I queued in those lines with my mum...I'm 81 now and rationing didn't finish until 1954.
Hi connor, it's just common curtesy to get in the back of the queue, the british reserve can be misunderstood for rudeness I think too . Hope your doing well too connor 😊
I was one of those people who had not been to a dentist in 20 years. In 1997 I moved from England to Scotland and it was impossible to register with an NHS dentist. I later moved to Hungary where I could afford private dental treatment.
Love Wolters World, and loved England (and Scotland). I badly want to go Bach and explore some more. You were correct, Stratford-Upon-Avon is Stratford on the River Avon. It avoids confusion where more than one village or town has the same name.
Teeth: Yes, the NHS does cover treatment. The problem is that not enough dentists take NHS patients, which is a big problem. And yes, if any English person you don't know comes towards you smiling, it is best to run. lol
British dentistry: The NHS has always covered it, but when I was young it only covered the basics, such as extractions and mercury-amalgam fillings. It didn't do well with anything preventitive or anything considered "cosmetic", such as braces and tooth-straightening. So I grew up with a dentist that was rewarded for drilling and filling, and who had nothing to do with tooth straightening. I'm convinced now that he drilled unnecessary holes and that I should have worn braces as a teenager - so I now have missing molars and uneven teeth that not only look discoloured but I'm sure have harboured gum disease in difficult-to-clean areas between my teeth. So I believe I am part of the generation that deserved the "poor dentistry" tag, but things have changed and now preventitive work and dental straightening are covered and easily available.
Food got a poor reputation during and after WW2. What wasn't taken into account is that being an island, and with so many men away fighting or killed, a lot of the crops and animals raised for market, could not be managed by the women and children on their own. And, with very little coming in on ships, shortages and rationing continued for almost 10 years after the war ended. Without ration books and coupons, the housewife had to make do and try to replicate foods with alternative items. Classic British cuisine is some of the best in the world - no matter which of the UK countries or regions, there is always something that is well and truly outstanding and worth eating.
The anti dentistry thing is just utter rot! Although there are some idiots that are petrified of the dentist. The only person like that, that I know, is a German friend of mine that's entitled to free dentistry due to his job as a Police Officer.
Cream in tea, is a no no. Queuing, is throughout the UK we have good manners. UK food is not bad it's diverse, stylish,flavoursome & hearty. Where does this Charming guy at his information from.
The teeth stereotype. It’s garbage. I looked it up and British peoples teeth are in better shape overall than Americans per capita,even though the NHS stopped providing dentistry a long time ago so we all have to go private. For example,I had two fillings a month ago and it cost £480 with an £80 consultation. I want some implants and was quoted over £2,000 over here,but in Turkey,it’s about £600,even cheaper in Hungary.
Implants for £2,000? Yes, it's about the same here in Germany. So I had mine done in Poland. It's just a short train ride away, after all The dentist said he could do it "Hollywood style", but we both agreed that it would look terribly fake. I opted for the "natural" version, so my smile doesn't scream "false teeth" from a mile away.
@@TheCornishCockneyPeobably greed, yes. I get it, wages are a bit lower, but that doesn't explain the *massive* difference because the rest is the same.
British dental treatment is cheap compared to the US. For example 2 xrays cost £11.04 and a small filling costs £12.72 in Scotland..no charge for the checkup
I pay £70 in the UK for a check-up now (my dentist went private recently) NHS rate was about £26 but finding an NHS dentist is tough. Scotland is much more subsidised. :)
Coronation chicken is chicken in a curry sauce. It is sandwich filling but not one that I enjoy. Coronation chicken was created by chefs as a dish to be served at Queen Elisabeth II 's wedding breakfast. He is talking nonsense about the dental health of the British, (then again he talks nonsense about a lot of British stuff),we have had NHS dentistry for as long as I have been alive , and I’m 70. What we do not have on the NHS are cosmetic treatments hence , while our teeth might not look as straight and white as those in America , they are healthy. In fact, I understand that our teeth are healthier than American’s. There will always be people who neglect their teeth.
This bloke clearly doesn't understand the concept of 'it's coming home', re the football. And neither it seems, do our European friends, who seem to enjoy the 'schadenfreude' that comes when we don't win (note we English don't even have a word for schadenfreude (meaning to enjoy someone else's misfortune, which is an extremely 'un-English' concept). The closest we come to that word is 'glee', which Americans incorrectly translate as 'joyfulness'. The original context of 'it's coming home' was in relation to a football tournament returning to England in 1996, which was the first time we'd hosted a tournament since 1966, when England won the world cup. The song actually says that despite all the disappointments, we're happy that 'football's coming home'; ie; where the sport came from and it's our turn to host a tournament. It was never about expecting to win it. That changed when foreign teams (Germany, Italy, etc.), gloated that they'd won and then sang 'football's coming home', which not only showed they didn't understand the meaning of the song, but also advertised their schadenfreude while betraying their lack of sportsmanship, which IS an English concept, though one which is sadly not shared by many other nations. Just saying!
His comment on dental health is a falicy. According to the OECD that has been collecting stats on world wide dental health for decades, the UK comes in joint 8 in the world rankings and the US come in 12th place behind Mexico in 11th place. In the UK and in Europe we just do go into the over the top dental looks.
Connor, the beautiful street you are looking at is Chester City, it is where I live, and it is indeed a beautiful City. It is a very old City,and was also a Roman fortress, called Diva Victrix, and is a walled city, Chester actually has the most complete circuit of walls in the country. The center of Chester comprises of mainly medieval Timber framed black and white buildings and Georgian style architecture. In the photo that you were looking at, you can see something that is totally unique to Chester, and will not be found anywhere else in the world, it is the famous Chester Rows, a second level of walkways and shops with balcony’s that overlook the street, they are old and fascinating. Of course there is a lot more to see in such a place as Chester. You would love it. It is situated on the border between North Wales and England, to the east of Liverpool, and south of Manchester.
Coronation chicken is cooked chicken in a curry mayonnaise invented for the queens coronation in the 50’s I believe. As an aside on a different reaction channel,a young American girl very condescendingly mocked the idea that we had created chicken salad……. She thought chicken in mayo was a “salad” due to the way america refers to it….the comments section was savage with outraged Englishmen 😂😂😂😂

The reputation of British food being poor, is largely due to the American troops who were stationed here during the Second World War!( and a few of other nationalities😁) You might have seen some clips about the rationing of food, to the general public, during the war! The British people and any visitors, lived virtually on fresh air! Food rations were minute! You could not produce good food because you didn’t have the ingredients to make anything, but, as your presenter said, the British made do and just got on with life! Sadly, it did not stop foreigners, returning home, telling everyone how bad the food is in Britain!
I think that this chap is ill informed or poorly researched his topic. Regarding teeth in particular, I personally hate to see the perfectly white teeth that so many wealthy Americans, and some English people have, because they look hideously false. Natural teeth are not brilliant white - if anything they are more ivory coloured. They say a great deal more about personality than good taste - in my opinion!

The most famous WW2 poster in Britain is "Dig for victory" , encouraging people to grow their own vegetables to help the war effort due to food shortages. Then around 2000, a guy won a random box at auction full of uncirculated "Keep Calm and Carry On" posters. He liked them and started reprinting them to sell in the shop he owned. I remember it really blew up around the Queens diamond jubilee in 2012, with everyone was replicating them with alternative wording
The dentist thing is rubbish.. what we dont do is go for the blindingly white absolutely straight teeth that some people in the US go for..
I actually don't know anybody who has bad teeth.. ...its something from the second world war...when diet and dental care was poor. Americans came over and then reported teeth care was poor which it was but thats 70 years ago...that myth has continued because it suits the American view of things.
,makes them feel better.
I hate that bright white look some people have its too much 😁
Well, comparatively they like their teeth veneered super straight and dazzling white - anything different is ‘bad teeth’
I read recently that overall that British teeth are BETTER than those in USA.
Wolter referred to pouring cream in tea. I have never seen any cafe in the UK sell tea with cream, it is ordinary milk that we put in it. We don't put cream in tea, it is always just milk but we do put cream in coffee though not always. I can't imagine what tea is like with cream in it though I have had it occasionally with condensed milk. Calling a drink of tea "a cuppa" is a southern thing, mainly south east England, e.g. London, Kent, Essex, Sussex. There are many other terms for a cup of tea in many regions of the UK.
Coronation chicken was something that was invented for Queen Elizabeth II's coronation, it is curried chicken. Or chicken with a mild curry sauce on it which might be a more accurate description of it.
The NHS covers dentistry for some people and subsidises it for others. But a lot of people use private dentists as the coverage of NHS dentists are poor and what they do is limited. In fact the dental health in the UK is better than in the US, but what we don't have as much of is the cosmetic stuff, the straighting, the veneers and the whitening.
@@leehallam9365 I agree
Just more American lies being spread I suspect. Surely, British teeth are WAY better due to free dental care. You gotta take a mortgage out for health care in the US
CHESTER .... NW England ...
... the presenter's city in the background. Lookin' good.
we have plenty of services for veneers and whitening etc you just have to piss away large amounts of money like americans do haha. Seriously, i had a friend whos american relative spent her frist christmas bonus and monthly paycheque on teeth shit, literally spent thousands. Never thought she had bad teeth before, clearly her employer didnt too.
This man talks out the back of his neck, he knows as much about the English as I know about American Football not a lot! No one puts cream in tea No One its milk! It rains here a lot it can be a quick shower or it can rain on and off all day, sometimes just drizzle other times its torrential, if we didn't go about our day because it rains we'd get nothing done and go no where (It also what keeps our Country green).
Dentistry is free for children up to 18, its free for anyone on benefits, pregnant women up until the baby is 1 year old. Everyone else pays either for an NHS dentist if you can find one nowadays or private which is more expensive. The majority of British people have good teeth and dental health, but not many of us go in for cosmetic dentistry like teeth bleaching, veneers unless you're a wanna be celebrity.
Our young are on the whole as polite as the adults but can be more outspoken unlike older folk who are passive aggressive or sarcastic.
And finally our food in Britain we cater to every taste Yes we have Sunday Roast, Fish & Chips and the Full English Breakfast but we also have Indian, Chinese, Vietnamese, Italian, Caribbean, Japanese, Thai, Greek, French & Spanish restaurants in most towns and cities as well as Mc Donald's, Tim Horton's, Papa John's, Pizza Hut, KFC. Wendy's has now landed and next year Dave's Hot Chicken will open its 1st outlet in London.
The only things he's right about We Hate Queue Jumpers, Cream teas (usually on holidays) and the popularity of the Sandwich its a convenient lunch for workers and you can get meal deals every where (sandwich, chips & a soda to Americans) for around £3.50 or 4.55 USD.
Cream in tea…definitely not. There isn’t an anti dentist movement here either.
It's the usual American reaction to the fact that we don't straighten or whiten otherwise perfectly healthy teeth. I am over 70 and still have all except my wisdom teeth, which were extracted because there was no room for them. So not all British children are subject to the torture of braces, and, even worse, headgear.
@@catgladwell5684 I did have to have braces when I was a child, thanks to 4 extra teeth! I’ve still got all my wisdom teeth and the only thing I had done was a crown on one of my front teeth as it had developed a hole in the enamel. Other than that, I still have the same teeth and they’re as white as teeth should be. That unnatural white and straight as a ruler teeth just looks odd.
@@xandra7986 like marble tombstones 🤣
@@catgladwell5684 😂😂 Perfect description
The floors of buildings jutting out is called "jettying". It comes from the French verb "jeter" which means to throw. The upper floors were jettied out to increase floor space within the building without obstructing the road. It is said that some jettied houses grew so close together that people could shake hands across the thoroughfare below.
Wolter doesn't seem to know the difference between a broadsheet and a tabloid
Having a 'cuppa' and a 'chinwag' (casual informal chat). The words just ooze cosiness and comfort, and I start to unwind instantly. May be some cake...
He's wrong about young people. They are as polite as the older ones, but Americans expect teenagers to be submissive and afraid of adults. We don't like that here.
Not really...the average English kid is a feral lache key child..... perhaps not to as old as 22 though, probably around fifteen-ish then they either grow up or become a chav.
Completely agree. I’m 33 and have always been polite and well mannered, my mum brought my brother and I up that way. But she was totally against the ‘’children should be seen and not heard’’ and the ‘’always respect your elders (even if they shit on you)’’. Not sure if my bringing up was typically British though as it had a lot of European influences.
Yeah, the kids are alright (mostly)
I’ve been working in secondary schools giving the flu vaccine and the kids are really polite
England fans sing "It's coming home" ironically now. 20/30 years it was sang with belief. Now, they do it more as a laugh & sing song.
We don't love those pre made sandwiches. People at work get them in a meal deal (plus drink and snack)
The ‘bad food’ myth came from the experiences of American forces in Britain during the war when there was little food and everyone was on strict rations. Rationing got even stricter post war and lasted into the fifties, so it’s not surprising if food wasn’t so great at the time. I can remember my mum telling me how exited she was to see and taste a banana for the first time when she was a teenager.
You certainly wouldn’t have seen too many overweight people at that time!
I have never seen cream in the tea
Creamer is condensed milk or evaporated milk depending on location
This is what most use if not using milk or avoiding dairy
'Creamer' is vegetable fat (as is Elmleigh) - it has no relation to tinned (evap or condensed) milk. Condensed milk has sugar added; it was what they put in their tea in the trenches of WW1.
@wessexdruid7598 no added sugar to evaporated milk mate it's just milk is sweet and it's a concentrate
And it legally any be sold as creamer without being derived from milk it breeches false advertising laws etc etc etc in the EU and UK at least.
So I asked Google
All made from milk except the latest lactose free so you stand corrected.
What is Coffee Creamer Made Of?
Coffee creamer is typically made of:
1. Dairy Cream: Traditional coffee creamers are made with dairy cream, which provides a rich and creamy texture. It is often derived from cow’s milk but can also include cream from other animals such as goats or sheep.
2. Sugar: Coffee creamer often contains added sugar to enhance the flavor and sweetness. This can vary depending on the brand and type of creamer, ranging from regular granulated sugar to alternative sweeteners.
3. Emulsifiers: Emulsifiers like dipotassium phosphate or sodium stearoyl lactylate are used to prevent the separation of fat and liquid in the creamer, ensuring a smooth texture.
4. Flavorings: Various flavorings are added to coffee creamers to provide different taste options. Popular flavors include vanilla, hazelnut, caramel, and many more.
5. Thickeners/Stabilizers: Some creamers utilize thickeners and stabilizers to enhance texture and ensure a consistent product. Common examples include carrageenan, guar gum, or xanthan gum.
6. Preservatives: To extend the shelf life of creamers, preservatives like potassium sorbate or sodium benzoate may be added. These ingredients inhibit the growth of mold, yeast, and bacteria.
7. Non-Dairy Alternatives: Non-dairy creamers are becoming increasingly popular among those with lactose intolerance or dietary preferences. These alternatives are typically made from plant-based ingredients like soy, almond, coconut, or oats.
So now tell me condensed milk isn't a type of coffee creamer FFS 🤣
@@madyottoyotto3055 It's milk - NOT cream. So, no, NOT CREAMER. (Where do you buy 'traditional' coffee creamer?)
The ingredients for Coffee-Mate are:
INGREDIENTS: CORN SYRUP SOLIDS, HYDROGENATED VEGETABLE OIL (COCONUT AND/OR PALM KERNEL AND/OR SOYBEAN), DIPOTASSIUM PHOSPHATE, 2% OR LESS OF SODIUM CASEINATE (A MILK DERIVATIVE)**, SODIUM ALUMINOSILICATE, MONO- AND DIGLYCERIDES, ANNATTO COLOR.)
And I specifically said only condensed milk has added sugar. I worked at the Carnation factory, making the stuff...
@@madyottoyotto3055 I replied to this, but can't see my reply any more?
I didn't say evaporated milk had sugar in. Condensed milk does. I used to work in the Carnation factory making the stuff...
Look up the ingredients of Coffee Mate and show me the milk or cream. Apparently YT doesn't like it when I do.
Cream in tea! That's just wrong.
I can't wait to watch for 45 seconds, and then think "This guy is a bell end and doesn't know what he is talking about" then move on.
Agree 100%
I believe the timber houses stick out the higher up they go because of old tax laws where they only taxed the ground floor space, so you wanted the building at its smallest at the bottom. In Amsterdam they were taxed on the width of the house hence why lots of narrow and tall houses. Life finds a way!
Idk what he means by anti dentist culture lol
You use the word line because queue has a u in it , Americans are terrified of the letter U you leave it out of words like colour you say tube as if it has an o in it you just can’t say tube .
The top floors overhanging on the Tudor style buildings was because of the cost of floor footage at street level - so it was cheaper to make the upper floors wider
Americans calling all British food rubbish is very disrespectful to our parents and grandparents who had to make do with rations during the wars I doubt any Americans have ever experienced years of food rationing - whilst being blitzed night after night
Hi, Coronation Chicken (Originally named "Poulet Reine Elizabeth") - comprises pieces of roast chicken (mainly white meat), served cold and mixed with a curried mayonnaise. It was devised for Queen Elizabeth's coronation in 1953. Originally is was served as a 'dish' (first or second course), typically on a bed of lettuce, for example. Nowadays it has started to appear more regularly as a sandwich filling. For King Charles' coronation, the 'official' new dish was 'Coronation Quiche' .... a quiche containing spinach, broad beans, cheese and tarragon that can be eaten hot or cold. Oh, and never EVER put cream in tea! It's either nothing added (black), or with lemon, or a with a little MILK! LOL
@@duncanalmond7880 I have never seen a British person put lemon in tea but I have seen a lot of foreigners do so. They think that it is the right way to make tea. It is not. Neither is that hot fruit drink called tea. You know that raspberry, blackcurrant, herbal stuff with hot water. That is NOT tea.
@@valeriedavidson2785 Hello Valerie, thanks for your response. I completely agree with you about non-tea "infusions", as things like chamomile and peppermint, and your examples, etc., are (or should be) called. However, I do have to take issue with you about 'lemon'. It is perfectly acceptable and is very long established in the UK to have a slice of lemon (instead of milk) in certain light-bodied black teas, such as Darjeeling, or Earl Grey, or indeed 'Lady Grey' which is a black tea infused with citrus oils in any case. I know a number of people who take those particular tea examples that way. Although it wouldn't work with China tea (in my opinion). Oh, and the other thing I've seen my American friends do, is place the teabag (on its string) in the cup, fill it with boiling water, then just leave the bag in throughout the entire consumption period. Drives me bonkers ... especially when they complain that it gets too strong/bitter ('stewed' in other words) as they drink it ... talk about gormless! lol
He’s wrong about younger people not being polite and the dentistry stuff
Well, I and everyone one I know, family and friends all go the Dentist regularly so he has got that wrong - the NHS Dentists are harder to find though as many Dentists going Private only, but I understand more are joining something called DenPlan - or something like that and it works out cheaper then
People were only allowed small footage but they could build outwards after ground floor .
It wasn't so much what they were allowed, it was that they paid taxes of the square footage of the ground floor. They could have as much space as they wanted as long as they could afford it
Hi Jibby.
When I'm taking tourist friends round, I usually suggest one of my favourite haunts for afternoon tea (that's about as British as you can get).
Also, a visit to a typical ancient pub (sometimes with the mugs/pitchers of regular customers hanging from the ceiling. Only the owner of the mug gets to use it, and the bartender knows exactly who's whose as soon as the customer walks in the door).
These videos show way more rain than I'm used to, however I must say this year has been more rainy than normal (some years we have droughts).
OK, awaiting your next review.
cream in tea ....yuk
Yes, the town of Stratford [is] upon [the river] Avon, in order to differentiate it from different Stratfords. Sometimes, they might just be 'on' the river as in Bradford-on-Avon -even though that is a completely different River Avon is another part of the country, which is why we would (traditionally) have added the county. Hence, Stratford-upon-Avon, Warwickshire; Bradford-on-Avon, Wiltshire; Stratford, London E15; Bradford, West Yorkshire... Occasionally, they might also be 'on the' as in Lee-on-The Solent, Hampshire; Stratton-on-the-Fosse, Somerset; and rarely, they might be 'under', such as in Newcastle-under-Lyme, Staffordshire, and Ashcott-under-Wychwood, Herefordshire...! Another exceptional descriptive place-names include Ashby-de-la-Zouch, in Leicestershire; and Weston-super-Mare, Somerset - where 'Mare' is a corruption of 'mere' which in thaat particular context probably refers to the flat Somerset Levels, that the town is over and above the level of both it and the sea and so, summarised by the word 'super'.
And of course "Avon" means "River"!
The crap english food thing came from ww2 and into the 50's when there was food rationing
That's true but when rationing ended, highly processed convenience food became fashionable. Unfortunately a lot of food establishments in very touristy areas used this type of stuff as it was cheap. Add in economic recession in the 1970s with high inflation and labour disputes and the food that most tourists saw was pretty dreadful. Started to change in the 1980s and is now pretty good.
Not many obese people from way back then, good nutritious plain food.
Yes, the NHS covers dental care, although it is a cap on the fee rather than no fee at the point of use. It is free for children, pregnant women and people on low incomes. So it makes dental care more affordable but the big problem in many areas is that there aren't enough NHS dentists. So some of us like me have private dental policies, costing me £29 per month. The cost even for private care is still affordable apart from certain cosmetic dentistry such as implants. My son recently had extensive cosmetic dentistry on the NHS and the cost came to £4,000.
Yes places like Stratford-upon-Avon and Stoke-on-Trent are on the rivers Avon and Trent. We also have places like Bexhill-on-Sea, which is on the coast, and Weston-super-Mare, which is also on the coast - super-Mare is Latin for on-Sea.
These suffixes are used differentiate towns with the same name, or just to make them sound nicer.
NHS does cover dentistry but it pays their staff really poorly so alot of the Dentists go private which is bad because that's ALOT more expensive.
There is a place in the UK where we don't queue, well not in a line anyway. It is the queue at the bar in a pub, where it has always been a virtual one. The consequences of pushing in are the same though.
Also at the Barber's. You're expected to remember who was there before you when he says "Who's next?"
Bear in mind when we play a world cup we play the whole world. When you play the world series, few others are involved. This guy is so annoying! Good reaction though.
yeo do not ever push in when queing
Hi Connor, there is a modern (and rather amusing) English term which came about in the last decade or so, and that is "Turkey Teeth" or also spelled, "Turkey Teef" (which is how it would be pronounced with an Essex accent). This refers to people who have had shockingly white veneers put on their teeth for that 'Hollywood smile', and it's known as Turkey Teeth because of medical tourism - people in the UK travel to Turkey for cheap cosmetic work like dentistry, hair transplants, as well as the usual bodily plastic surgery - but getting veneers is a hugely popular thing. There have been horror stories of procedures going wrong and shoddy work, but it is a huge thing here (made popular by reality stars from Love Island etc) - which rather blows Wolter's theories about teeth out of the water. Invisalign is also massive in the UK, and even at my dentist (I go to a private dentist because I needed an urgent appointment when I moved locations), they do teeth whitening as standard with your treatment plan.
This video showed that I had been mistaken my entire life. I've always believed I was English, but almost none of the characteristics he mentioned applied to me. I suppose my good teeth should have given the game away.
Yes upon usually is a river, though some times it can be upon-sea. Occasionally it can refer to some other geographical feature.
Thank you sir saved me writing lol ends up an essay lol 😂
@16:30 Coronation Chicken is a mild, creamy curry dish, which seems to have won a competition in the run-up to the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II in 1953. The intention was that it would be an unusual dish but one that could be easy to prepare at home with widely available ingredients. Originally served with rice at street parties it's now a pretty popular sandwich filling too.
The queues or lines are usually very civilised because during the wars, we queued for hours for our food rations. It might be an idea for you to look at what each person was allowed per week, I think you may be shocked. However, that's where our politeness in queueing first was noticed. It was probably the same before but I don't know for sure, as I've not seen pictures of that but I queued in those lines with my mum...I'm 81 now and rationing didn't finish until 1954.
Im from Bristol where the River Avon starts from, a suburb of Bristol called Avonmouth. Its run from Bristol right up into the midlands
I’m an Anglophile in all things except the weather. Overcast skies fill me with feelings of existential dread and foreboding.

I was one of those people who had not been to a dentist in 20 years. In 1997 I moved from England to Scotland and it was impossible to register with an NHS dentist. I later moved to Hungary where I could afford private dental treatment.
Love Wolters World, and loved England (and Scotland). I badly want to go Bach and explore some more. You were correct, Stratford-Upon-Avon is Stratford on the River Avon. It avoids confusion where more than one village or town has the same name.
The city at 7.07-11 is Chester in the north west of England
Just back from a couple of days in Britain - OMG the sausages for the breakfast in the hotel were to die for.👍☘☘☘
Be more specific. Britain is an Island consisting of England Scotland & Wales
Teeth: Yes, the NHS does cover treatment. The problem is that not enough dentists take NHS patients, which is a big problem. And yes, if any English person you don't know comes towards you smiling, it is best to run. lol
Connor I grew up in Stratford-upon-Avon and left when I was 17 to join the Royal Navy. I do still have family their and still a great place to visit.
The street you liked is Foregate Street in Chester.
Love seeing my home city of Chester pop up in video's.
There is no queuing at the pub though (or shouldn't be anyway!)
Keep calm and carry on was devised for use in WWII, but wasn't used because it was too patronising.
British dentistry: The NHS has always covered it, but when I was young it only covered the basics, such as extractions and mercury-amalgam fillings. It didn't do well with anything preventitive or anything considered "cosmetic", such as braces and tooth-straightening. So I grew up with a dentist that was rewarded for drilling and filling, and who had nothing to do with tooth straightening. I'm convinced now that he drilled unnecessary holes and that I should have worn braces as a teenager - so I now have missing molars and uneven teeth that not only look discoloured but I'm sure have harboured gum disease in difficult-to-clean areas between my teeth. So I believe I am part of the generation that deserved the "poor dentistry" tag, but things have changed and now preventitive work and dental straightening are covered and easily available.
Never put cream in tea.
Food got a poor reputation during and after WW2. What wasn't taken into account is that being an island, and with so many men away fighting or killed, a lot of the crops and animals raised for market, could not be managed by the women and children on their own. And, with very little coming in on ships, shortages and rationing continued for almost 10 years after the war ended. Without ration books and coupons, the housewife had to make do and try to replicate foods with alternative items. Classic British cuisine is some of the best in the world - no matter which of the UK countries or regions, there is always something that is well and truly outstanding and worth eating.
The anti dentistry thing is just utter rot! Although there are some idiots that are petrified of the dentist. The only person like that, that I know, is a German friend of mine that's entitled to free dentistry due to his job as a Police Officer.
Cream in tea, is a no no. Queuing, is throughout the UK we have good manners. UK food is not bad it's diverse, stylish,flavoursome & hearty.
Where does this Charming guy at his information from.
Hey Connor if you love podcasts give The Rest is History, you will love it.😻❤️🙏

Queueing is showing consideration for your fellow human beings by not trying to barge in front of someone who has waited longer than you.
yep town on the river
look up ww2 rationing food
Its just called manners....
The teeth stereotype.
It’s garbage.
I looked it up and British peoples teeth are in better shape overall than Americans per capita,even though the NHS stopped providing dentistry a long time ago so we all have to go private.
For example,I had two fillings a month ago and it cost £480 with an £80 consultation.
I want some implants and was quoted over £2,000 over here,but in Turkey,it’s about £600,even cheaper in Hungary.
Implants for £2,000? Yes, it's about the same here in Germany. So I had mine done in Poland. It's just a short train ride away, after all
The dentist said he could do it "Hollywood style", but we both agreed that it would look terribly fake. I opted for the "natural" version, so my smile doesn't scream "false teeth" from a mile away.
@@PotsdamSenior If they can do it much much cheaper,then why can’t our services? Sheer western greed.
@@TheCornishCockneyPeobably greed, yes. I get it, wages are a bit lower, but that doesn't explain the *massive* difference because the rest is the same.
Meal deal in Tesco is a pack of 2 sandwiches a drink and a packet of crisps £3.60 ( $4/5 ) a bargain I reckon!!!!
Some kids can be less polite, but that may be down to there up bringing and the area were they grew up
British dental treatment is cheap compared to the US. For example 2 xrays cost £11.04 and a small filling costs £12.72 in Scotland..no charge for the checkup
I pay £70 in the UK for a check-up now (my dentist went private recently) NHS rate was about £26 but finding an NHS dentist is tough. Scotland is much more subsidised. :)
Connor as you have probably noticed with the comments that you get from Britain we are extremely patient with people😂😂😂
I was stood literally where he was this time last year.
We were a coffee nation before we were a tea one , coffee was here first .

Coronation chicken is chicken in a curry sauce. It is sandwich filling but not one that I enjoy.
Coronation chicken was created by chefs as a dish to be served at Queen Elisabeth II 's wedding breakfast.
He is talking nonsense about the dental health of the British, (then again he talks nonsense about a lot of British stuff),we have had NHS dentistry for as long as I have been alive , and I’m 70. What we do not have on the NHS are cosmetic treatments hence , while our teeth might not look as straight and white as those in America , they are healthy. In fact, I understand that our teeth are healthier than American’s. There will always be people who neglect their teeth.
That's in Chester, those streets.
Avon means river.
This bloke clearly doesn't understand the concept of 'it's coming home', re the football. And neither it seems, do our European friends, who seem to enjoy the 'schadenfreude' that comes when we don't win (note we English don't even have a word for schadenfreude (meaning to enjoy someone else's misfortune, which is an extremely 'un-English' concept). The closest we come to that word is 'glee', which Americans incorrectly translate as 'joyfulness'. The original context of 'it's coming home' was in relation to a football tournament returning to England in 1996, which was the first time we'd hosted a tournament since 1966, when England won the world cup. The song actually says that despite all the disappointments, we're happy that 'football's coming home'; ie; where the sport came from and it's our turn to host a tournament. It was never about expecting to win it. That changed when foreign teams (Germany, Italy, etc.), gloated that they'd won and then sang 'football's coming home', which not only showed they didn't understand the meaning of the song, but also advertised their schadenfreude while betraying their lack of sportsmanship, which IS an English concept, though one which is sadly not shared by many other nations. Just saying!
This man thinks he knows the English and the UK he knows nothing only an American would listen to him to sound English he talks a load of bollocks 😂🇬🇧
His comment on dental health is a falicy. According to the OECD that has been collecting stats on world wide dental health for decades, the UK comes in joint 8 in the world rankings and the US come in 12th place behind Mexico in 11th place. In the UK and in Europe we just do go into the over the top dental looks.
Yes upon the river Avon.
When we say River Avon we are actually saying River River. I think Avon is an Anglo Saxon word for river.
Connor, the beautiful street you are looking at is Chester City, it is where I live, and it is indeed a beautiful City. It is a very old City,and was also a Roman fortress, called Diva Victrix, and is a walled city, Chester actually has the most complete circuit of walls in the country. The center of Chester comprises of mainly medieval Timber framed black and white buildings and Georgian style architecture. In the photo that you were looking at, you can see something that is totally unique to Chester, and will not be found anywhere else in the world, it is the famous Chester Rows, a second level of walkways and shops with balcony’s that overlook the street, they are old and fascinating. Of course there is a lot more to see in such a place as Chester. You would love it. It is situated on the border between North Wales and England, to the east of Liverpool, and south of Manchester.
Coronation chicken is cooked chicken in a curry mayonnaise invented for the queens coronation in the 50’s I believe. As an aside on a different reaction channel,a young American girl very condescendingly mocked the idea that we had created chicken salad……. She thought chicken in mayo was a “salad” due to the way america refers to it….the comments section was savage with outraged Englishmen 😂😂😂😂

The reputation of British food being poor, is largely due to the American troops who were stationed here during the Second World War!( and a few of other nationalities😁) You might have seen some clips about the rationing of food, to the general public, during the war! The British people and any visitors, lived virtually on fresh air! Food rations were minute! You could not produce good food because you didn’t have the ingredients to make anything, but, as your presenter said, the British made do and just got on with life! Sadly, it did not stop foreigners, returning home, telling everyone how bad the food is in Britain!
I think that this chap is ill informed or poorly researched his topic. Regarding teeth in particular, I personally hate to see the perfectly white teeth that so many wealthy Americans, and some English people have, because they look hideously false. Natural teeth are not brilliant white - if anything they are more ivory coloured. They say a great deal more about personality than good taste - in my opinion!
