You can't say you don't have time for tea! You make a cup, sit down and do your videos and sip your tea while you're working. Everything doesn't stop for tea - unless you want it to!
Unfortunately, over enthusiastic viewers have been sending him tea pots, tea cosies, tea leaves etc. and giving him chapter and verse on the tea making process so that he thinks nothing short of a full on chinese tea ceremony is required. But as we know, all you really need is mug + bag + hot water + 60 seconds + milk + sugar and bosh, job done.
@@citizenpb Exactly, it literally only takes about a minute to make and then you drink it while you're working, watching TV, whatever.
Needs a kettle
@@weeddegree He already has a kettle, and a video to prove it. Their teamaking video is actually quite amusing - take a look.
I have tea a lot more since buying my electric kettle...love it! I do love a nice pot of tea but with work and stuff, an electric kettle makes it easy to have a quick cup. I also fill a thermos for work. ❤. Always time.
Joel, you have loads of time for a cuppa. Everytime you are about to go to the computer to do a reaction, do some editing, or just watch a film, the kettle goes on first, then you sit down with a nice hot cup of tea. Nothing better bud. LOL
In case you were confused at the start, it was a banging Michael Caine impression. Absolute legend.
I was so wanting the back of the head man to be Michael Caine himself!
The Trip, Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon great series 👍
@@danholland8722 It was great.
I'm English and I have to say that trying to converse with some of my fellow Brits is like hearing Klingon. 😂✌️♥️🇬🇧
Qapla
@@margaretnicol3423 qatlho 😂✌❤🇬🇧
😂😂😂😂I like it.Espically with family..am I speaking Swahili?
Dinny ken wit ya mean like
@@randomshorts739 I love Britain mate. There's nowhere else like it. It must be a bloody minefield for foreigners. My Mrs is Malaysian and grew up watching the old films with the proper posh English accents. When her family moved to England they set up in Cornwall. That must have been a linguistic shock. But it's our differences that makes Britain great. ✌❤🇬🇧
Not sure what you mean you don’t have time for tea. We have a cup of tea throughout the day no matter what we’re doing. Wake up in the morning? tea, working? Tea, watching tv? Tea, studying? Tea, doing laundry? Tea 😂
I'm as British as they come, but hate tea. Even the smell! Coffee and hot chocolate for me.
Yeah, I thought that was weird. It literally only takes the same time, if less, than making a cup of coffee!
Insults are our love language....that Scottish girl who you thought was simply swearing at you was actually asking you out on a date.
my mother will come home, make a drink of tea because the tea she had while out wasn't good enough. tea to solve tea problems.
Nice to see your wish to come back to UK and as someone here said, don't forget to visit the beautiful Devon and Cornwall.
I lived in the U.S for ten years and would love to go back and visit your beautiful country, particularly the Pacific Northwest Seattle area where I lived for a year, such beautiful countryside and the sea. 🙂
There is always time for tea.
We have close connections with our Antipodean cousins down under. A large expat community lives in Australia (and NZ) and many Australians live or visit Britain at some point. We share relatives, similar customs equal amout of diffences too and the hate/love relationship with Marmite/Vegemite!
I went to a public school and am always having to try to explain what it means to non Brits!
We dint always sit down for the actual drink, but we usually do for doing tea. It's self care 👀☺️
Joel, geddon me bewty, in all your British reports you have forgotten an important part of It... You would realy love Cormwall, Kernewek, the forgotten part... it will grow slowly like Wales an are of land so full of historty beauty and real people. Make sure you visit on your next visit
"Twatt is always well worth a visit".
0:42 That is such a brilliant Michael Caine Impression. 👏🏽
You should search for the clip when Rob Brydon and Steve Coogan are again “bickering” about who does a Michael Caine impression and he is there all the time. I think it was part of a charity show.
You can have a cuppa tea when you doing reactions with some beans on toast.when you come to England again you got to come to the potteries eg stoke on Trent to try some oakcakes
Not strange that Aussies and Kiwis have Marmite and Vegemite... Marmite was first produced in the UK in 1902 and exported to both countries. Then an Australian, Fred Walker asked a chemist to produce a similar (copy?) spread (in 1922) and thus, Vegemite was born. Both differ in taste, texture, and ingredients (but yeast extract is the main, base ingredient). Initially, Vegemite took a few years to become popular and it wasn't until nearly 1930 did it became the Aussies 'go to' choice. I always have BOTH in my kitchen cupboard!
You mentioned the Marmite/Vegemite issue, observing that the US has nothing similar. Although Australia and New Zealand have their own cultures, they are more similar to the UK. They share the same spelling and grammar as us, drive on the same side of the road and follow similar traditions. They also have the King as Head of State, which seems extraordinary in this day and age.
As an aussie, it's gotta be Vegemite
Most of the top 10 also apply in Ireland.
The Pea-dough-file King....best mate of Jimmy Savile.
@@MattyEngland No that's his brother. I think I heard something about Charles disinheriting him recently, but I could be wrong. Don't really keep up with the royals.
@@bookswithike3256 Nope, his brother Andrew was best friends with the USAs most prolific pea-dough-file, King Charles was best friends with Britain's most prolific pea-dough-file.... What a weird coincidence 🙄
Blimey Joel, surely you make a mug of Rosie while you're studying?
Always always always had a mug full of tea next to me whilst studying all through University, graduate school (that was in the U.S.) and now twenty years on whenever I’m working. Research or grading, mug by the side. 😂😂😂
Ah, History Boys. I liked that film, but I'd like to think that some of what was depicted in that film doesn't actually happen in schools!
As for tea, what happened to 'Tea Time', Joel? I really enjoy those videos.
Yes, I asked him the same question a couple of weeks ago. I also really enjoyed the chats, although Joel choosing Earl Grey tea............nah.
Jps has been having college examinations this last week or two. He's been studying pretty hard. One exam to go, then he can relax for Christmas break (and maybe a Tea-time)
Welsh is actually the oldest language spoken within the British Isles
If you actually listen to the real "black country" accent spoken in the West Midlands called YamYam unless your from there anyone foreign or domestic will have trouble understanding that accent
Actually I think Cornish is older but perhaps your right as only a handful of people speak that dying language.
@@davidvarley1812 Welsh isn't a dying language, 54% speak Welsh every day, 17% speak it weekly, 24% less often & only 5% don't speak it. It's compulsory in Welsh schools, No it's not a dying Language, no matter what people like you think or say. Yes Welsh is the oldest language in Britain.
@@emmahowells8334 read my comment again. I was speaking about Cornish.
A Public school is open to ALL members of the public (no matter their academic standing) as long as they can afford the fees. Whereas state schools are aften based on academic grades. (A very simple and incomplete explanation).
I still have the old fashioned water heating system in my house- with a hot water tank that holds water all day - so I still have hot/ cold taps in my bathrooms. Although the kitchen has a mixer tap. I have to run the water for a few moments to clear the hot water from it before using it for anything that will be consumed.
Yeah I have a hot water tank in the loft too when we moved in we found old socks floating around in it 🤢
My dad did that until I held a mirror under the end of the spout to show him the water is still separate in the spout. Of course, yours might not be,
Nothing makes things feels better than making time for a nice cup of tea
People are similar all round the world. We all want the same things - a home, a job, a family, food, warmth/coolth and light. 🙂
I always make time for a cuppa in the morning
That is quite obviously one of the biggest dollops of lying scat ever deposited in public.
I watch a few American vehicle mechanics and they tend to though not exclusively use metric tools so the U.S. does use the metric system. I suggest the reason marmite is not a thing in the U.S. is it doesn't contain any sugar or artificial colours but as with all foods it's a matter of taste, personally I like marmite but I have to be in the right mood for it, I wouldn't say I love it or hate it.
I am now aged 66. My Mother used to say as a baby on solids I loved marmite so much I would scream for more and it would be all over my mouth and hands. She said I seemed obsessed with it so of course she rationed how much I was having. I still like it today.. but am tidier in my eating habits. lol.
@@mariahoulihan9483 we are around the same age, I wonder if that's a factor.
Yes, it takes a while to distinguish between state schools (public schools in US), and independent, public, and private schools (all called private schools in US). To add to the confusion, all these types of school may be church schools or not. Ironically, there is no division of Church and State in the UK, but far fewer people define themselves as religious, whereas in the US many people put their Faith as lead item on their definition of who they are.
You left out Academies, Comprehensives, Grammar and Free schools!
9:08 Correction: In India, we do follow a mixed system although it’s mostly metric. Only in height and a few other measurements do the Imperial System come into play.
I'm a few years off 70 and was taught in the imperial system. Changing to decimalisation was enough to relearn, I'm sticking with imperial
Just for you to smile at Joel, think of Britain and your happy times there every time you hear your American national anthem. The tune of it actuall an old british/english pub song: maybe that is one of the reasons you love british pubs Joel... lol lol
The Michael Caine impression near the start is superb.😆😅🤣
When you brought up the map again at the end Joel, you need to pay attention to the last little red dot down at the bottom left. Let's see you next time you come over. Keep doing what you're doing Joel. Lyd x
Tea can also be referred to as "a cup of Rosie" (Cockney rhyming slang Rosie Lee: Tea!) or a cup of "Char" or simply a cuppa, or a brew!
Separate taps were fairly common in the U. S. until the 1950s, I believe.
Great Britain is an island, and the United States is part of a large continent. That is why we British probably have more of a sense of identity. Anyway Joel, now that you've discovered that most of your DNA is British, you should be adopting our habits and idiosyncrasies. Start being blunt with Wil and Mac, eat baked beans for breakfast, and fart in the bath.
Add a touch of curry powder to those baked beans too, and when he farts in the bath he’ll have a rock on jacuzzi…
We have Marmite and Vegemite here in New Zealand - though the Marmite is a different flavour to the UK's. Marmite is tasty - Vegemite is sump oil. Both NZ and Australia also use a mix of metrics and imperial (I could bore people on the subject since I did a university thesis on it!) - basically we use the most easily grasped measure. For height, it's easier to picture the difference between five feet and six feet than between 1.5 and 1.8 metres. Similarly a pint is easier to imagine than 600 millilitres.
Yeah, I went into a butchers in Perth and asked for 500g of mince. He said "You mean half a kilo?"
Unless you work in the pharmaceutical industry or medicine, you don't need to worry about millilitres. The beauty of the metric system is that you can use the most convenient unit. I never understand why the size of furniture in the UK is quoted in millimetres. Would anyone worry if their sofa was a millimetre too short? On the Continent furniture is measured in centimetres or - if it's over a metre - in metres with decimals. Beer in Europe is sold in half-litres instead of pints so no need for 568 millilitre glasses. And wine bottles are usually 75cl (centilitres).
@@peterc.1618 Because it's industry standard in the building trade. Furniture is measured in millimetres because building materials like wood are measured in millimetres.
@@Lily-Bravo same basically applies. Easier to picture the difference between half a kilo and 3/4 of a kilo than between 500 and 750g, even though grams are the base unit.
@@jamesdignanmusic2765 Only in the UK it seems.
Itsjps great video
Have a merry Christmas 🌲☃️ and a happy new year 2023
Dump a bunch of salt on a piece of bread? American bread has a bunch of sugar dumped on it! It's like cake!
Would you like a cup of tea Father Joel? go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on 🙂
Dick Van Dyke in ‘Mary Poppins’ is iconic in all the wrong ways.
One thing Brits do that's impossible to explain to non Brits!
Lip syncing 🤣
Pity ME ... tghe name of this village is a corruption of Petit Mer (little lake
)
Never liked baked beans growing up. I now don't mind them in the context of a full breakfast, but just with toast? I'll drink tea sometimes when people offer it, but think I particularly like it much. Hardly ever make it myself.
public school is for those that can afford it, and state school is for those who can't afford it
Or they don't agree with public school education.
He's kind of wrong as the Union Jack is a term for the navel flag and the Union Flag is used to refer to the Land version.
Sometime around 1674 the British flag became formally known as the 'Union Jack' when mounted on a warship and the ship was not in harbour.
At the same time the British flag was referred to as the 'Union flag' on land.
That was very good ❤
The Romans called this island "Britannia" and the "Great" bit doesn't mean "fantastic" or "Amazing" It was simply to distinguish us from Brittany which was a part of France.
Yes mate, Mrs Doyle and her tea 😁
Yes we're a unique bunch over here. Quirky.
I like Wales mostly because it boasts of great landscapes. I like the language and the people as well.
Haha , "dangerous" comment to put out there... what about the English country , rural Ireland or Scottish highlands
I hate Marmite. BUT, there is an entry into learning it, and that is Twiglets. If there are no snacks around apart from Twiglets and it is an unavoidable snack situation, I have been known to eat and kind of enjoy the Marmite on them. Also, when I make nut loaf I put a tiny little in for nutrition's sake.
We had milky tea in our bottles as babies, lol.
Having Tea is about making the time. Time stops for Tea so get the kettle on and make a brew and we'll sit down and talk about it ☺️. 🇬🇧
All so true, but I do have mixer taps in bathroom and kitchen in my 1900's house - obviously replumbed at some point, also at the age of 65, I did grow up learning feet n inches, pounds n ounces etc etc. If undertaking tasks in the garage I will often take a cuppa with me.
I love our quirky ways and regional accents.
Edit: Love thinly spread marmite on toast with sliced cucumber on top.
If you look carefully at that mixer tap it has a spout within a spout and the cold and hot are separated,, one temp coming down the centre spout and the other down the encircling one. I've had mixer taps for nearly 40 years and that is what they are like. If you don't have mixer taps you put the plug in.
Hello Joel. I was brought up by folk who had grown up poor then had to get used to rationing, so a dripping and marmite sandwich was seen as a tasty treat. See episodes of "Sorry" to understand.
Patrick Stewart just did a Yorkshire Tea advert. I keep recommending you react to these.
Love marmite , eat it by the spoonful straight out the jar, particularly when hungover, much to the horror of others.! Add it to every food possible so its beans on marmite on toast for me
Ooh, just made me feel like some marmite. My gran used to drink a teaspoon of marmite in a cup of water as a tea.
I am in the uk and I think Marmite and Vegemite taste much the same but the odd time I eat it I prefer Vegemite because I see it as more solld and isnt as "runny" as Marmite. Its high in Vitamin B.like Yeast is.
I'm watching this while drinking a cup of tea 😂☕
Of course you have time for tea, you drink it while your doing things
The sound doesn’t match up
sound matches up fine, perhaps your device lagged and desynced itself
It's miles off
Seems to vary between devices. Sound was way off via TH-cam app on TV but I just checked and it’s fine on the phone app. Something very odd going on here!
@@davidgillon6187 tv app for me too.
Sound was way off for me too. I even started the video again but it was still way out.
Many public schools are hundreds of years old. Edward VI founded several. They were public if you could afford to pay for it.
I live very near Pity Me and close to a village called No Place- both in County Durham in the North East
best way to remember the school thing, State schools are paid for by the state, public schools are paid for by members of the public ie the parents of the people going there, private school also exist. in the very old days the very wealthy would be taught privately at their mansions etc.
Actually we will often drink tea at the desk while working or studying at home.
I would be interested to know if your university has a foreign student club/ society (uk universities have club for everything), maybe it would be interesting to explore something like that if it exists.
The thing i wonder about sometimes is what is TH-cams demographics and how that may affect the information it gives, for example if the demographic is more middle to upper class or maybe more wealthy does that change the type of content which is made, similar with question of age and other factors.
_"State schools are paid for by the state, public schools are paid for by members of the public ie the parents of the people going there"_ - Exactly. That's a great way of putting it.
the whole feet an inches versus metric is definitely a generational thing in the UK. I can't even remember when I was first introduced to metric, but when you have your younger years all in Imperial numbers (base 12) then that's what you know at heart. The weird thing to me is why does the US still use Imperial measures (though of course for weights and volumes they came up with their own values). If you ask an American how tall they are you'll get feet and inches - same for most British people. If you ask an American how much they weigh you'll get a number in pounds - UK probably a mix of stone+pounds or kilos.
When spreading Marmite on toast, mix it with the butter a bit. It should be the colour of peanut butter for inexperienced Marmite eaters. I just bought a big jar. Will last me months even though I will have Marmite sandwiches most days at work.
I don't know how recent this video is but most households and public toilets in the UK have mixer taps now and have done so for quite a while.
My sisters love Marmite too.
There's a compilation of Love it/Hate it Marmite ads - very funny
My best mate Ruth and I insult each other regularly - it's how we communicate 🙄😆
Sorry the last one... That got me that's so silly and so confusing I'm British and that boggles my mind 🤣
Re the tea, it is entirely possible to drink it whilst doing other things😃. Personally, I leave the teabag in. Beans on toast is a great meal. I'm 47, and whilst we learned metric at school, our parents still used the older system, so that's what people felt comfortable with and used. I don't think of my height in metres, it's feet, and when I'm describing short distances it will be yards. Centimetres, metres, kilometres just don't come naturally to me, and I have to think about them, whereas inches, feet etc seem much more natural.
I have a cup of Coffee in a morning and perhaps another in the day. I always drink Tea with meals as its lighter than Coffee.
The term Public school goes back to the Middle Ages, they were schools anyone who could afford to could send their children to. The other schools Church and Guild schools were only open to a small number of people.
Also not all private schools are Public Schools, the latter are a small number of elite schools like Eton and Harrow. Think of the way that in America there are many colleges but only a few are in the Ivy League.
I had beans on toast (Heinz of course) for lunch with a massive pot of tea
Even in the midst of battle it would be appropriate to stop for at least a ‘quick cuppa’… it’d be uncivilised not to…. Now, where did I leave my butler????
They did. 1944, once ashore the Brits settled down and brewed up.
@@tonyves wouldn’t expect anything less. It’s just not normal not to 😂
Hi Joel, another wonderful video to start the day. Emails in my inbox this morning from cousins in Derbyshire and Dorset. I'm dying to get back too. In Canada, insults, English Breakfast, beans on toast, and tea are the norm; however, multiculturalism brings new traditions from new Canadians. I'm a renown master of friendly insults, which works great in the UK, but would get me punched-out in the US. An English Breakfast is standard fare in the Army, even when deployed in the field. It will keep a soldier going for hours and miles. We use both Imperial and Metric. Visualising a person's height in metric is difficult. We have Marmite here too and it can be found in the HAZMAT section of your local grocer. Have a great day, John in Canada
The "don't have time" is a weird one re tea. It's not like a religious act where we do nothing else whilst drinking it. We have brews repeatedly whilst working or just as a polite thing to do with a guest round. Going to make a brew takes a couple of minutes and is also a short break from whatever you're doing. Also, no sugar, it's not meant to be seat! Urgh. The term for what is should be like it or how most Brits like it is "Builders Brew", i.e. how builders like theirs. Tea bag in a mug, hot water, mash it with a spoon (connoisseurs say not to do that as it brings out bitterness but screw them) small amount of milk, stir and squeeze bag for desired strength, bag out, done. Strong, no sugar. If it's any lighter than your hoodie it's too weak. :P
Haha quite a few of these things got sent over to Australia 😂
I’m sure the vast majority of people by now must have a mixer tap in their homes. The two tap thing is a throw back to when hot and cold water was kept separately, cold water was from the mains and suitable for drinking and hot water was kept in a tank and therefore not fit for drinking
Marmite is amazing, and on toast or in cooking delicious
No Joel, the movie "The History Boys" was set in a State Grammar school NOT a public school. Grammar Schools still exist in certain education authorities but they are the exeption not the rule. They are totally free of charge and entry is based upon a good result is an examination known as the 11+.
Sound is way off
Go on, go on go on, take a tea 😂
It takes less than a minute to make a cup of tea…
re- public school/private school - the term goes back to when many wealthy people had home tutoring and "public" schools meant a school you went to with students from other families - even though there were not government schools. There were no government schools at the time.
Marmite is great and has lots of vitamin B12.
I think a lot of this boils down to a dislike of change - which is why hot and cold taps are still common place and that, whilst we have the metric system, so purchase material or timber by the metric system which is then measured out by the imperial system or even a mixture of both. And we buy our petrol by the litre, while our cars measure the economy of driving by miles per gallon for we haven’t adopted kilometres - not quite yet - give us time. The one measurement I’ve never used is Fahrenheit.
Aha! The Marmite vs Vegemite debate...No contest.... Once you've tasted Marmite..and it's true that you either love it or hate it; it is like Brussells sprouts... some people can detect the bitterness of sprouts...yeaughh! Thats me. Now Vegemite, by comparison to our Marmite, is a wimpy little brother, called Ralphie, who trails around going awwww...wait for me ,Mate! You've got to be Hard to appreciate Marmite :D
There's a Slappers hill in Devon. 😯❤️😉
a lot of us aussies are also the same with our tea, not as many of us drink tea as we do coffee but when we drink tea its the same as the brits
salt on bread ye good description of marmite
Did you hear about the Watford Gap? THE great divide: a geographical gap in the Chiltern (hills) near a village of that name between Northampton and Rugby (of the famed private school). It has taken on a partly valid power in the national psyche and discourse, since it is a rough marker of differences in history of a lot of meteorological, agricultural, economic, social, linguistic and political events down the centuries.
It's a useful shorthand for a lot of things and much has been written using it as delineator or cut-off boundary of . Especially, perhaps The North and The South in all kinds of ways domestically.
So, for outsiders, it is a boundary which often goes unapprehended for its significance. It is THE gap in the dividing line running diagonally roughly from the Humber estuary on the east coast to the Severn estuary on the west coast and extending down to the south coast.
Hmmm? when I watch this on my smartTV the sound goes completely out of synch at the Public School section. :(
I have loved Marmite all my life, but have recently become allergic to it; my mouth swells up and I can hardly talk. I am utterly devastated. It also means no more Twiglets 😢
I couldn’t live without twiglets, you have my condolences.
I couldn't imagine life without Marmite or Twiglets, so sorry to hear your bad news
Yorkshire Gold is the best Tea, it's not even a debate.
... *side glances at Brazilian feijoada* I mean, I dunno. We like beans a lot here too. Only difference is, English beans are usually baked? I think? Or it's the canned ones. Here we pressure cook fresh beans and heavily spice them with broth, chilli, fresh laurel and garlic, then pour it on top of rice or pasta once the broth becomes creamy. Sometimes I throw potatoes and pork in my cooker as well, for extra flavour. I've eaten beans on toast as well, so... Maybe we can all exchange recipes? How do you usually eat your beans?
The US doesn't have a version of Marmite because it can't be made with corn syrup
It's made from the dregs of 🍺.
@@davidvarley1812 I know, but Americans love to put corn syrup in everything
@@ShaneWalta thought you might. They'd hate marmite. I have a theory that those who like marmite had mother's who ate it while pregnant.
@@davidvarley1812 you could well be right. I know that both my mother and grandmother loved Marmite. I myself was a “Marmite baby” being fed fingers of toast , or sometimes crusty bread, spread with butter and Marmite almost from weaning. Yum!
Baked beans aren't really British. They were first made in America and the UK only started importing them (from the US company Heinz) in the 1900s. They only became popular in the UK from World War II onwards, when beans on toast was promoted as a cheap, filling and nutritious meal.
The flag shown is upside down!!! You'd spend a month in the slammer in the military for that.
The one on the wall, I mean.
Lol no, it's not.
I am taking the flag staff as being on the right as viewed behind him.
@@johntaplin3126 I'm afraid you're wrong. The international convention is that the flagstaff is always assumed to be on the left if it isn't actually present.
I wouldn't do watch mojo for a proper look into UK culture. They're so artificial and just tear things from articles
It's extremely common to have mixer taps now
