Don’t forget to dilute the Apple and Blackcurrant squash !!
It’s double strength to

Never put the water in first! Please! 🫣😂
And don't use your tap water for God sake..!! Bottled water only, and only use a finger width of juice out the bottle.
😢@@ianrose56
Whaaaa ?!! Tap ...ohhhh yes!! I Forgot it was American tap water lol. Sorry!!❤😂
They're definitely picking up the British sense of humour. Lindsey giggling about Steve saying gooey centre 😂
😂
I actually also thought it was quite British when Lindsey laughed at Steve saying “ the giant skittles are big!”
I reckon you have the most happiest and most cheerful videos on TH-cam. I always end up in fits of laughter as you discover English things but also, as a very old person, it is so lovely to see such spontaneity, real warmth and genuine friendship the two of you have for each other. I won't be around when you celebrate your Golden Anniversary but I am pretty sure the two of you will be there. Thank you for all your wonderful videos.
Your genuine love and affection for each other is so lovely to watch!
28:06…. The way Steve just shoves the thing in your face… ‘THIS IS CUTE’ 😂😂 crying!!!
You two laughed more in this video than i have in the last 5 years. It's nice to see happy people
08:00 Those scales are made by a company called Salter, one of the oldest companies' in the UK. Founded, if I'm not mistaken a while before the USA :) (I find it amazing how some companies manage to survive for so long)
That's really cool! :)
The school year here in England is from September to July.
The reason why the UK schools has a long summer break was originally so they could help on the farm during the best weather.
The British bull dog has a cigar probably because Winston Churchill became synonymous with them. He smoked cigars and the bull dog was the fight to survive.
I think we also have BBQ rice cakes and ones with white chocolate as well. Not sure if you’d agree it tastes like BBQ as I think you guys use a lot of liquid smoke and we’re not used to that here.
If it’s sleep depravation; please be sleep deprived on the next unboxing 🤣
That unicorn notebook poem was lovely ❤️
Remember the robinsons juice goes into the glass first, you add water to it, not add it to water. It mixes better that way.
You can also get used to putting the “right” amount of squash in the glass, rather than guessing, to get the taste you want if you put it in first.
@@nigelanscombe8658 takes years of practise figuring out your preferred measure...
The time Tesco switched their own brand from double concentrate to quadruple concentrate totally broke me.. didn't know if i was coming or going
That’s the school year in Scotland. In England, the school year starts in September and finishes end of July xxx
I've never seen you have such a good time opening before. You should start a comedian act. Had me crying. The poem in that journal for Sophia was beautiuful. Great reaction today.❤
OMG those lego mini figs are awesome
Aren't they?! We were so excited.
Hi Guys , some great stuff again guys . Lindsay cracks me up giggling through the unboxing 😅.
You are so funny.. Love your genuine hilarious reactions ❤
I love the P.O. Box openings. wish I could afford to send stuff, but sadly no. But love seeing your reactions to what you get! Much love from Kaylee. Blyth, Northumberland.
How much is the postage ? I dread to think
Same
@@mattbentley9270it would be horrendous price, it’s expensive enough to live in the UK and post something within the UK
If people want to send things it is up to them but the main priority is YOU -. Make sure you are warm and well fed this winter.
No worries at all, Kaylee! We appreciate your support of the channel through subscribing, watching and commenting. It means more than you know. ❤️
Loving your video today. You've both got the giggles. 😊
After a hard day splitting logs for the winter fires I so needed a laugh and you always provide it. Thank you so much!!!
Hi Steve, Lindsay and Sophia,hope your all well?just watched your p,o box opening,your laugh Lindsay is infectious 😂, sending love xx
haha thanks Deanna! Hope you're well.
What was in
Your tea this morning???? You two laughing had me laughing 😂😂
lol no idea. Maybe sleep deprivation getting the better of us.
U guys are getting funnier,ive not laughed so much in a long time,i so enjoy ur videos theyre so enjoyable,good luck good health n happiness n take care😂😂😂😂
My aunt moved from Liverpool to New York in the 1960s, she would regularly send parcels over to us of American goodies but we were most excited when we received a rolled package of the cartoon inserts from the newspapers!!!
you HAVE to watch "keeping up appearances" and do a reaction, its a british classic!
I don’t fancy Steve’s chances in a fight with Sophia!
Ain't that the truth 😅
You two are in such a naughty mood today, hilarious xx
Well that was fun. I giggled so much. People are so kind . X
That journal is lovely.
There’s a place in England called ham and not far from it is sandwich xxx
In Kent?
Love it! 😂
@@reactingtomyroots In fact, the local council got so fed up with people stealing the road sign at the country road junction that pointed to these two tasty places that they took it away! 🤣
@@reactingtomyroots Just up the road from Rye!
Wow tea bag squeezer , I never knew there was such a thing. I need that in my life ❤
All these years I've been using a spoon and the side of the mug to press the teabag, now i know there is another piece of washing up to do the job :)
I thought that the teabag squeezer was a teaspoon pushed against the side of the cup... Those pesky unitaskers!
@@Tommy-he7dx ive always been taught never to squeeze teabags because it releases tanning and gives tea a more bitter taste
@@johnsellers4994 ;) some of us like the bitter taste
Just as you were talking about subscribing, I looked and realised I wasn’t subscribed 😮 even though I’ve been watching you for I’m sure a year. Definitely a subscriber now 😊
The lego figures were SO CUTE!!!!
Scotland's schools have a slightly earlier summer holiday than England. In England schools generally break up towards the end of July, and go back in the first week of September. Schools get between 5 and 6 weeks off for the summer break. I did look into how many school days you have in a year in the US, and it isn't so different from ours overall. British kids have 190 school days in a year, and I believe your average is 180 days.
Re the funny placenames- of course if you hear them frequently in everyday conversation you stop noticing that they are funny. For example 'Shepherd's Bush' is a well known area of London- and originally home to the BBC Television Centre, and so it's never occurred to me that it is potentially funny (although I do get why it is).
It's been mentioned elsewhere- but please note the Robinson's squash has to be diluted - So many Americans try it neat, and it's just a sweet syrup!
Thanks for the reminder on the squash needing diluted 😅 Thanks for the info on schooling over there--I feel like I read somewhere that you also start the school day around 9, vs. our 8 am? Or maybe I'm making that up. haha
Love this video, especially love unpredictable Lindsay who is prone to outbursts of laughter, I love that in you guys, when you are attacked by the giggle monster xx
You two are so funny love watching these videos, glad the map and atlas arrived. Doing great guys lots of love andrea in liverpool xx
I never usually comment but this video made me laugh so much 🤣 i randomly came across your channel and now i look forward to every video you post. I'm planning to send a package over soon about where we live in the black country
Note how much we LOVE a rude placename! British toilet humour...
Also old school humour. I’m sadly an adult now 🤣 but even as a kid they used to do “naughty postcards” at the beach…long gone now. 😢 they were always so funny.
Peace love from England ❤
Love watching you both, love it when you are laughing, it cheers me up. By the way have you tried mince pies yet x
Jordans cereal is gooooood
Oh yes, the more expensive kind, but sooo good 😋
Read the instructions for the Robinson diluting juice, it needs a dash of product topped up with water. Hot or cold 🏴🏴🏴
Thank you for the reminder, Kay!
@@reactingtomyroots it’s ok, I have watched many of you countrymen drinking it with out diluting and not liking it. 😜🤭😁😊
Hellooo steve & Lindays awesome vid as always you both are sooo funny to watch always intersting to watch your vids plus i'm subed to your awesome channel too. 😀😁😂😎👍🏻
Thanks so much. We appreciate you!
A really good video, especially when you are looking in the box,what is next,loved that cuppa tea and Biscuits sketch, 😊
The Hovis digestive is slightly superior to the McVities digestive....
They are more geared for cheese rather than dunking in tea or coffee.
@@johnbowman7389As soon as I saw them I remembered eating them with sliced cheese at my nan's kitchen table with her. 😊
@@scattyfiwith chutney?
School starts in September here not August, at least in my part of England anyway. It ends in July. We have 13 weeks holiday in total across the year including bank holidays, occasionally additional bank holidays.
I can't stop laughing at you 2 today
I live in North West Essex, one of the local villages to us is called Ugley. Can you imagine that they have an institute for women. Yes it’s the Ugley women’s institute! 😂 have a look on the map just below Cambridge.
Which place name is the most awkward, do you think? 'Ugley' or 'Loose' for the women there? Apparently _Loose_ is pronounced 'Looze' but still, it makes me laugh to think of a town - not the TV show - and the ladies of the town being called "Loose Women" poor things!! ❤😊
Can't imagine enrollment is very high for that place 😂 That's hilarious!
Love watching your videos guys
I love you guys, laughed so much with you x
I've been known to say 'dammie jodgers' accidently. Lots of fun and laughter today. xx
Hi. I hope you both will let us know how the shortbread turns out! Would you consider reacting to Gladiator/Hans Zimmer/The Bands of HM Royal Marines. I know you loved it when they played 'I Vow to Thee My Country' at the Royal Albert Hall. This time they are on Horse Guard Parade. It's quite special I think.
You two are such a blessing in return. Already subscribed like I do for all the best pages.
Hopefully by now my letter with places to look at will have arrived to.
Thank you, Fiona ❤️ And yes! Your letter has arrived--very much appreciated.
Hobis digestives are great with a nice mature or vintage cheddar.
Sheffield is the World famous steel town,where stainless steel originated.No more rusty cutlery.Hoorah!My son has just phoned me,from there,where he’s making a delivery,for an American company.
You guys are so funny 😂
We have the book fair too!! memories
You laugh but I was born in ‘Shepherd’s Bush” 😂
I’d never thought of it like that so it did make me giggle 😂
😂
It’s like you’re both high watching this 😂 loved it x
Just sleep deprived, unfortunately 😂
the marmite rice cakes are nice with cheese spread on top
Marmite rice cakes are delicious with a little bit of butter and cheese.
I put marmite on mine, because.. um..
Sounds interesting
Here in England school term is September 5th till July 20th ..
School year surely
I'm not sure if they get the little school breaks we do , don't they get 3 mnths in summer off and we get a week or two in spring autumn and winter then summer 6 weeks . 😊
Sending Tesco across the world is … HILARIOUS 😂
"A gooey centre? I've never seen that before!"
never change, Steve 😂
I never really thought about Shepherds Bush being rude or funny because I'm used to just hearing it in the Only fools theme.
Hi Steve and Lindsay! Love your videos! Have you heard of a British TV show called Strictly Come Dancing?
Best wishes,
A Brit
OMG I would love to see them reacting to some of the worst/funniest dances. Like Anne Widdecombe’s samba at Blackpool, and Ed Balls’ Gangnam Style dance 🤣 Plus the judge’s comments LOL!
Lindsay, be careful with the teabag squeezers. If you press too hard, the teabag can burst and then you get ground tealeaves in your cup. Also, it can increase the bitterness if you squeeze the tealeaves too hard. Just squeeze gently to stop the drips, then pop it in the bin.
The Hovis Digestives are really nice with a good quality strong cheese (Stilton, Cathedral City etc).
@@PhilPrice65 But not chocolate digestives. These are not good with cheese!

@@danielferguson3784 EVERYTHING is good with cheese :D
You guys are the best ❤. You always make me smile. Lots of love from North Wales.
Great video 👍🏻 It’s getting suddenly alot colder in the UK now. I put the heating on the other evening for a bit as I was so cold 🥶 won’t be able to afford to have it on much because prices are going up again and I’m in a flat and only have electric heating which is way more expensive than gas. It’s about 53 where I live in the UK at the moment (13 degrees Celsius), rather have your weather right now x
This video was very GOOEY 🤣. You always put a smile on my face 😊
😂
Crisp bakes they are lovely with slice of cheese and tomato very nice with cuppa tea for lunch .i have cottage cheese sometimes with cucumber and pinch of parika on them too .and rice cakes I use houmous and lettuce and cibies /scallions
Shepherds Bush is the area of LOndon where The BBC is.
Darn it linzi you got me too! Xxx
Next to Japan, England has the most snacks in supermarkets in the world.
I could've sworn we start school in the first week of September.
Yeah I remember around the 5 or 10th September and then the next year ends mid to late July? I forget but yeah; ever since I’ve seen September as the month of learning.
That's Scotland's school yr, I was shocked they said in USA can end May! I thought always June.
@@SolarVibeEnergy I remember learning as a teenager that in Italy schools have 3months off in summer…I thought that was great 😂
There's plenty of accents in the UK that drop the h at the start of certain words. I'm from the West Country and I do it. It's even taken into account by teachers when they're marking your work, so if you write "an historic event" instead of "a historic event", you won't get penalised for it.
'An' historic is grammatically correct, but then I am 66! Language is forever changing (but I don't have to like it 😂)
@@jenniferfox301 It's not correct if you pronounce the h
I love your videos ❤and pls can you do a video on the Yorkshire dales ❤
You two are hilarious!had me laughing all the way through 😂 love you guys 🤞for the100,000 subs 🫶
Thank you! We appreciate you hanging out with us :)
Lindsey saying herbal, a really Lady Penelope accent
Most of us here in the U K just squash our T bag against the side of the cup or mug with a spoon as well remove it, & you must remove it at the strength you like your tea. Never leave the T bag, or spoon, in the cup as you drink it, as I've seen people do on U tube. You'll poke yourself in the eye, & the tea will get too strong. A Cock is a male chicken. The Bulldog represents Winston Churchill during the War, smoking his cigar. It's a waistcoat, a vest goes under your shirt, what you call a 'wife-beater' for some strange reason. It's said as CoCo butter made from the cocoa nut.
Or the two teaspoon method for the squeeze
A cock* is any _male_ bird. 🐓
Though not just chickens...
(Short for a cockerel* what Americans primly call a rooster*).
...and a horrid and very cruel "sport" back in Medieval times was called
"cock fighting" setting to two cock birds to fight each other, sometimes to the death, poor things, in a "cockpit" a special little "arena" built for them to fight in ...and no, I _don't know why_ the part of the plane pilots sit in is called a cockpit...?!
(Perhaps Google knows?!!) ...and...
A _hen_ is any _female_ bird.🐔
Not just chickens.

Tony's chocolate bars are lovely, chunky in different flavours
It's Gand Canaria, as in the bird canary, one of the Canary Islands in the Atlantic off of the coast of Spain.
Were you two stoned making this vid, lol, I was laughing along with you both, N reminded me of groups of us sitting around just giggling at everything anyone said 😂
Joking aside I loved this vid, keep making more N more, thank you
Dilute the robinsons also the hovis biscuits are great with cheese
😂 I love you guys! 😂
Robinson's squash is great stuff. Apple and blackcurrant is the one I normally get. I have a 9 minute video up which shows how they make it plus a bit of history on the product
"Made In Britain - How Robinsons fruit squash is made"
You to are hilarious today 😂keep the stevizams coming please ☺️
"That's what she said"
Huh huh huh huh, i love it when the inner "Butthead" leaks out :)
We have some strange street names too, not far from me is Electric Avenue. 2x👍
Jordans frusli bars are one of my personal favourites, they do a raisin & hazlenut variety thats in my opinion the best one. It also comes in breakfast cereal form which I've always got at home. They also have a blueberry bar,which I'm zure you'd like. Was so so lovely seeing you guys laughing & giggling together,so glad u didn't edit it out. Stay smiling!! X
Estoian schools summer holidays start 1st June and end 1st September. But they don't get long at any other time of year
That rewards jar should include things like not having to be told twice. Don’t use money yet, the US is too focused on money as it is. Set up a bank account for her to take over when she turns 18, and put what would otherwise be pocket money into that account. At 18, she’ll be able to put it to good use for college books, rent and so on.
Finally you have a good what I call ‘ real chocolate’ in the conscious bar
The crispbakes originally come from Holland, eaten at breakfast ‘ hagleslag’ or just hagless . Dutch chocolate sprinkles on bread or crispbakes. They are very dry

YOu have a longer school year than we do in Italy, but ours only has two pauses: two weeks for Cristmas (from December 24th until January 6th) and 6 days for Easter. That's it.
Grand Canaria is one of the Balearic Islands off Spain.
Gran Canaria is one of a group of Spanish islands off the north West coast of Africa. The Balearics are in the Mediterranean off the Spanish mainland
@@lulusbackintown1478is correct. They are the islands of the dogs.
An English school year starts beginning of September finishes end of July. Seems we have the longest school terms.
Sharwoods is a popular brand of curry sauces. Make sure you only peel the foil cover back a little bit to add the boiling water and reseal it again.
Whittards used to have tea shops everywhere ( I don’t know if they still have shops) . They would sell , teas, and teacups. I used to love it as a kid. Felt soooo English. I also remember the shops called past times. It was such a great shop, you would love it if they were still around. full of all sorts of English things from years gone by.
I would love to see you guys react to Operation Chariot or the 13 days that saved Britain or even maybe both. Both of them are pretty cool watches and good history 👌
Dilute the squash

Those hovis wheat germ digestives are best eaten with cheese sweetness of biscuit balances the savoury taste of the cheese @reactingtomyroots
