Watch stuff and learn and chill hi whatsup ⚔️👋🧐
Hi everyone! I'm an American from the Northeast (New England). I want to create a watering hole for people who want to discuss, learn and teach about history through TH-cam videos which you guys recommend to me through the comment section or over on Discord. Let's be respectful but, just as importantly, not be afraid to question any and everything about historical records in order to give us the most accurate representation of the history of our species and of our planet!
Having a diverse perspective is crucial to what I want to achieve here so please don't hold back! I want to learn about all I can! Keep recommending and PLEAESE join my Discord :) ( / discord )

The reason Brits can sound American when they sing is that, phonetically, US English is simpler: It has fewer discrete vowel sounds, meaning more words can be made to rhyme (e.g. 'dance' and 'romance' only rhyme in some parts of the UK), and it has fewer diphthongs (sliding vowels); single-phoneme vowels are easily lengthened.
The actual percentage of people driving on the left worldwide is 41% Connor .🇬🇧
It used to be higher, but the US sold them left-hand drive cars.
Brake horsepower (BHP) is a more realistic horsepower figure than standard 'horsepower' (HP) quoted by manufacturers, etc. BHP is the actual horsepower the vehicle produces after taking into account all of it's friction losses from the engine, gearbox, alternator, etc. I had no idea that wasn't universal. The 'brake' part refers to the mechanism used to create said friction when conducting these tests.
You must be fun at parties
@@davidthompson6834 yeah, I'm a real bore. I just wander around making boring snarky comments to strangers.
You could just have said that HP is the power output at the crank and BHP is the power output at the wheels. The brake actually refers to the "at the brakes" (as in at the brakes on your vehicle, connected to the drum or the disc) because that is commonly where you attach the equipment. Today there are rollers instead but the definitions stuck... as they do. HP is a stupid fucking way to measure power output all in itself but we still use it even though we have far better units.
@@stevemcmosh4271 I wouldn't mind it if you weren't just making shit up. That's kind of annoying.
@@stevemcmosh4271 thank you
The Vietnam special is just pure epicness, possibly my favourite episode ever.
thats a great one indeed. for me it's the Colombia special.
I am Belgian and our mother was Dutch. French-speaking Belgians have jokes about the Dutch, the French, the Germans, the English, the Spanish, Italians, Portuguese, Polish etc... And it's the same for each country, the French have jokes about all the others, the same for the Germans etc. It's universal, as long as people fall into different affiliation groups (cultural, linguistic, religious, athletic, whatever. When we were young, we teased our Mother with Dutch jokes and she teased us with of Dutch on Belgians.
It is part of the experience of human beings due to a cognitive bias called 'ingroup bias' resulting from our status as social mammals. You have to see it like this: the past hatreds and wars that our different peoples have fought in the history of Europe - or for you, the history between the UK and yourselves - which is today enbeded in our local history, tales and legends etc, have been transformed into all kinds of more or less spicy jokes, no doubt, but it allows us to stop fighting together and leave past conflicts where they belong: in the past.
I'm English and I lived in France for ten years and it's the accent when you try and speak French. Most Europeans speak differently, it's like you or I could tell a Spanish person from a French person just by their accents, they can tell an English accent as easily as we can identify french and Spanish accents, I hope that makes some sense.
If someone came up to you and asked "Do you speak the toilet?" (which is what you said) in a French accent, wouldn't you assume they were French?
1:29 I had to admit that he does great American accents and impressions.
There are different types of horsepower out there, and you ought to know all of them, especially when buying a car, so the salesmen won't trick you into getting something that is less powerful than you think.
Engine horsepower, a.k.a. indicated horsepower (IHP), is measured inside the cylinders, it is the highest amount an engine can produce.
Break horsepower (BHP) is measured at the engine output and takes into account the friction losses inside the engine, hence it is lower than IHP. The law is something like 1 IHP ~ 0.99 BHP, which usually matters only in high performance cars with hundreds of it.
Wheel horsepower (WHP) is the one measured where the wheels hit the tarmac, and since it takes into account the friction losses of the gearbox and drivetrain, it is lower than BHP, but will tell you what power the car actually produces.
So, the car may be advertised as 500 HP, but at the wheels you may get 420, or even less, but you'll think you get a 500 HP car, because the engine produces that amount and the car salesman is actually right. Now, in the US it may not mean a lot, but there are countries out there such as France, where the car tax depends directly on the horsepower, and knowing the right amount is important, so you don't pay a larger tax than you are supposed to.
Besides, it is the torque that matters. The American cars are laughed at for making small BHP from large engines, but their torque is greater than the one in the European cars with the same power output, hence they will be faster if they weigh the same.
The law is simple: RPM - BHP - Torque: the American engines achieve peak BHP at lower RPM, but produce more torque. European cars achieve peak BHP at higher RPM, but produce less torque. But with the higher RPM comes another perk - they sound WAAAY better.
And then we have the Japanese monsters, some of which are made to withstand 10,000+ RPM, which is why they sound like goddamn F1 cars, and make eargasms (like the Lexus LFA).
Connor I've got to say you've come on leaps and bounds regarding being able to take a good old piss taking,hats off to you fella 👏👏👏
Brake horsepower is measured at the drive wheels, Hp is measured up the flywheel.
Notice how the countries that drive on the correct side of the road. UK ireland japan australia etc. are all some of the safest countries to drive in (although Australia is because no one is around to run into you) and americans are convinced they're right
India is supposed to drive on the left, they make up for all the ‘safe’ countries.
@@paulhill1665 countries with reasonable populations that drive on the left are safe then lol
@@samuelpinder1215 try driving in India and all will become clear. Safer to watch it online, top gear India special will show all.
@@paulhill1665 I've seen the chaos in india before
The Americans Love to Dream , Dreaming the dream . Livin the dream , Americans Love to dream . We Brits on the other hand are AWAKE !
On the topic of how everyone knows you are an American when you travel abroad. The easiest thing is if you try to speak the native language - the accent you apply instantly shows which part of the world you are from. British, American or Australian - it's extremely easy to find out just from 2-3 words spoken in the native language. British and American are really easy to distinguish by the applied "R"s and Australians by the "A"s and "O"s. The intonation is also very different. But, usually, especially at restaurants, it's even before you ask someone something that we know - idk if you are aware of it, but you guys are always THE LOUDEST people around. So the moment you hear a loud person talking in English, it doesn't matter if it's the deep South-West accent or NY or SF, automatically we know they are American. Lastly, all across Europe English is now a well-established common international language, especially in the tourism sector.
Break horse power (BPH) is the horse power of a vehicle after accounting for the frictional losses in power from the engine. 185 BPH from a 2.4 litre engine is pretty pathetic when we can get the same from a 1.6 litre engine in Europe and Japan and use half the fuel. Hope that answers your question mate. ♥️✌️🇬🇧
BHP...
We have to account the wheel horsepower, which is the actual one the car uses (measured where the wheels hit the tarmac). It is even lower, because it is BHP, minus the friction losses of the drivetrain and gearbox.
Also, the engines in the US and those outside of the world are somewhat different.
The American engines are the more classic and simplified ones, made to get higher torque over lower RPM, which is why they need bigger displacements to make the needed horsepower. They are also heavier, so the losses are bigger.
The European cars are smaller, but much more durable, because they are built to make more RPM and hence - more BHP, but less torque, and they use a double overhead cam, while the US cars have a single cam block.
Make no mistake - the BHP is the thing everyone talks about, but it is the torque that really does the job.
And, if you make a comparison between a European car, an American car and a Diesel car, all of which have 300 BHP, the American car will be faster than the European one due to the higher torque, and the diesel one will obliterate both, because the torque it will produce will be more than the combined one of them.
Whole of Australia & Japan drive on right hand side of the road + Caribbean countries which were British colonies.
I'm glad you can take a joke and realise it's not personal. It's a good quality to have for any man of any nationality.
Hi Conor, it all depends where you measure the power. Brake horsepower is measured at the flywheel, between the engine and gearbox. Horsepower is measured at the driven road wheels. So, as the transmission soaks up power, horsepower is always lower than brake horsepower.
I'm sure that made sense in YOUR head 😁 I'm English and I've never understood what horsepower meant never mind the difference between hp and bhp, anyway stay happy and healthy ✌️
@@bobbierocksbuster5584 Which part of it didn't make sense to you? I tried to use as simple terms as possible. Basically, you can measure bhp with the engine on a test rig, to measure hp you need to be running the car on a rolling road.
@@nicksykes4575 nick I wasn't being facetious I just meant to you it made perfect sense,to someone like myself it was a whoosh moment,even though I've had cars all my life I just don't understand the workings of them, anyway stay happy and healthy and enjoy the rest of the day ✌️
@@bobbierocksbuster5584 👍Got ya! When you have owned some of the nails I have, you learn to fix 'em pretty quickly. You have a good day too.
I think you may have that the wrong way around.
The rolling road measures BHP, after all the friction of the drivetrain is accounted for.
Horsepower is just the power that the engine produces.
Clarkson is really good at getting a reaction and he doesn't care who he upsets 🤣🤣🤣🤣
"Sadly, the Americans departed, leaving us nothing to look at except some hippos"... same thing, isn't it?
Brake Horse Power is the maximum engine output from a standing start or the engine strength if you will. Americans talk about Engine size so you would go for a 5L engine over a 3L engine but the rest of the world talks about the BHP of an engine because if a 5liter engine produces 300BHP it is a fat, slow and wasteful engine and if a 1liter engine produces the same 300BHp it is the Usain Bolt of engines, slim, light and powerful. (Granted a 1L road engine has yet to achieve 150 BHP but it is the efficiency that counts)
You must be fun at parties
Can definately recommend you reacting to Richard Hammond being accused of being American Connor. As for Brits and Americans sounding the same when singing, you're spot on.
Unless you're Oasis or The Proclaimers.
Apart for country & western singers, they sound like pirates.
@@CrazyInsanelikeafox Can’t argue there!🤣
simple yet crucial difference between BHP and HP is how they're measured in the car. While horsepower measures the power generated by the engine, brake horsepower measures how much of the power produced by the engine is sent to the wheels which makes the car accelerate.
He does like Americans ...check out Clarkson and the Blackbird jet aeroplane and also when Clarkson flew an F15
Roughly 1/3 of the world drives on the left and it's not just ex British colonies that do it
Australian here, we all speak English but its not just different accents and different phrases but also have a lot of different words meaning the same thing. Hood/ Bonnet, Trunk/Boot, Gasoline/Petrol, French Fries/Chips, Chips/Crisps. We tend to follow the British and have few adopted some Americanisms but also have our own.
English call a large truck a lorry, we call them trucks but small pickups are called a ute (shortened for utility)
We call flip-flops or your feet, thongs😄😄
08:50, this makes no sence, we MADE football. Driving was MADE on the left hand side of the road.
Regarding a French stranger speaking English to you.
Your pronunciation may have been with an American accent, so they knew what language to use.
Or they were playing the odds: once your attempts at French label you as not French, the best language to try to converse with you is English, as most people in the world have English as either their first or second language.
Simplified, BHP is measured at the wheel, HP is what the engine produces. Usually they're not far apart.
@♜WhatsApp Me +①⑧⓪④⑦⑥②⓪⑥⑧② I tried to reply. Don't know if you or TH-cam deleted it? However, other than this, I don't do social media.
The left is still the wrong side of the road because you either have to hold the steering wheel with your weak hand (unless you're left handed) while changing gear, or you have to buy an auto.
The British drive on the correct side of the road because in days long past, a sword could be drawn and weilded by the right hand when on horseback, because we are a nation of warriors. It's the same reason male clothing buttons up with buttons on the right, so as not to get a sword snagged in the clothing. Womens clothing buttons up the opposite way.
That, and the only reason continental Europe is left hand drive was because Napoleon ordered every area he concquered to switch the side of the road they used as driving on the left was seen as ‘The English way’
Queen, Muse, Adele, Oasis, Arctic Monkeys, Amy Winehouse, The Beatles, Ed Sheeran, Stormzy (or any grime/rap artist), Take That, Jess Glyne, Lewis Capaldi, Florence +The Machine, Pink Floyd... idk any British artist that sings with an American accent. The Killers even sound British lmao - love the vids!!
Brits singing : We sound like that because most the music that influenced British music.. mainly Blues is from america.. Jazz too. So in the 50's and 60's brits covered and tried to replicate what they liked! Two obvious examples, The Beatles and The Rolling Stones. As generations have gone by, it is still the sound our ears our used to, often with a southern drawl too. I find it easier to sing in an american accent. Also, there are more pronounced vowels and "R's" which give an easier singing experience. You are more limited with any british accent, bar maybe west country. Some famous bands that didn't use that (especially in early days) Chas and dave (Cockney), The Arctic Monkeys.. and .. Reverand and the makers (Yorkshire). There's a whole host of bands from Wales and Scotland that sing in their own accent.. and in the welsh case in their own language. It may be that you have only heard the bands that sound american. I only named a couple but there are loads out there!
Pink Floyd is another band that sing in an English accent.
Actually I think it's because of autotune
Mick Jagger (rolling stones) was singing with a southern drawl back in the 60s. I'm pretty sure there was no autotune back then. If you wanted to be successful in the US it was easier if you sang with an American accent.
Don’t forget Madness.
@@AndrewHalliwell Seen them live twice and meant to add them! great shout
Just to pick up on the Question about Brake Horsepower (BHp), it's a more technical name for what in America would be Horsepower... as there are various forms of it, and Britain had for the first half of the 20th century, the Horsepower Tax, which was calculated from the engine displacement or partial dimensions. So you may have had a car which produced 95BHp but was taxed as 20Hp.
basically the point about horse power is generally British and European engineers can get 170 horse power from smaller engines, Americans put in a big block v8 and only get 170 power from 8 litre engine where as a british engineer would more realisitically get 300 to 400 horse power out of the same engine maybe more its really down to how you build your cars your engines are simple and if a car is thirsty well its a thirsty care, where as here in the Uk and europe its more about making an engine that can give you maxium performance and efficency because the cost of our fuel is eyewatering.
Parlez-vous toilettes?? 🤣🤣🤣
I'll just follow up with what you said. This is a show that's been on for decades. He doesn't just make fun of the American's he makes fun of loads of countries.
And like you said this video is a compilation of the USA. You can find Completions about the french, The Germans, The Australians, People who drive SUV's, people who drive old Rolls Royce, The abuse is world wide and even.
indeed. The funniest micky take of the lot was the one against peugeot drivers, hilarious!
@@MartinArscott1 "Maniac!!!!"
Brake Horsepower is the full name and measurement of power at the wheels- Americans just call it exclusively Horsepower and typically measure horsepower that exists in the engine. The majority of the world typically just uses horsepower loosely, but the British tend to use BHP because that's the only figure typically dealt with, how much Horsepower actually reaches the road.
Brits rag on Brits like this too. Don't take it too personally. 😀They all have this dry sense of humour.
The singing thing is often right... as a kid I didn't know that E.L.O. were not from America.
this scene where there saying it's not football was the first season of The Grand Tour one of 2 visits in America same they didn't continue with it was an amazing
I love America. It's just good banter .just hope no Americans take it to heart .
I just love how you have Napoleon and or Gustav II Adolf in your background.
I have such a huge crush on N.B and as a proud Swede... Your admiration of G.A warms my heart.
The real problem with American cars in Europe is that they are designed for very different environments. European roads are generally narrower twisting and better maintained while US roads are straighter rougher and far far longer this leads to American designers building for durability and simplicity while Europeans prefer light weight agile more technologically advanced vehicles.
People that work in restaurants and cafes in tourist spots have got a knack for recognising accents they see so many different people from different countries that they just know after a while. You would too mate
India, UK, Australia, New Zealand, Indonesia, Jamaica, Fiji, Guyana, etc etc
There aren’t many pick up trucks in London because your shopping would get stolen.
Just as well you have a good sense of humour, and don’t get offended 👍
BrakeHorsePower (BHP) and horsepower are basically the same thing, the difference is that bhp is measured on a brakepad. So bhp and wheel horsepower are the same.
The split between driving on the right and left is roughly even, a little more, and it is only a little, on the right.
BHP is used to measure how much power the car has
honestly our countries are like brother and sisters we take the piss out of each other but love each other and always have each others backs when it matters alot of the time when brits make fun of america its just banter look how many times in movies america makes fun of brits its just banter
Pre independence America drove on the left as it was the sensible side to drive on. After the war of independence America decided it was going to throw all the sensible stuff out the window. Otherwise what was the point.
exactly Americans need a 5L engine to get as much BHP from it as in Europe from a 1.8 L engine
Jezza at his finest
Have you watched Al Murray "why Einstein& Shakespere weren't geniuses" One of his best take downs.
Nice one Conor. Clarkson had a Ford GT 40. Keep up the good work. 🇬🇧🇺🇸🇬🇧🇺🇸❤️
He also took it back because it was that bad!
If i speed up you talking by 1.5x you talk then at the same speed we do in Yorkshire UK 🇬🇧
Also from Yorkshire haha. Castleford
Did you… just call… American… a language?
“He spoke to me in American”
More people [not by much % wise] may drive on the right [but India drives on the left and they have 1.3 billion.
But when it comes to trains, 75%+ drive on the left. Even in France they do! lol
we the british reserve the right to offend any country, heck, who gave you it back?
American did at first drove on the same same as UK .check it out !
I guess the french person could tell by your accent. If you had a german, french, swedish, italian, australian etc ask you the same you could probably guess pretty much where they're from by their accent. Same with people from different states in your country or different regional accents here.
Brilliant,you have got to watch Top Gears,Hover van.🤣🤣🤣
Dear Americans,
you DONT play "football" ... because your "ball" ISNT SPHERICAL (which is another word for "ball" ... definitions are important and "ball" is NOT defined as "pig's bladder filled with air in any random shape") and you DONT USE YOUR FEET in connection with the ball (except on rare occasions). You guys simply play HANDEGG (which is only an approximation for the shape until a better term is found, because eggs are not pointy at two ends)!
Horse power is the power of the engine brake horse power is the power transferred to the wheels if I remember correctly
The only American thing I love is Jack Daniels.
Horse power is the term for how many horses could pull in olden days
I second that with where was the motor vehicle invented 😂🤣🤣🤪
And the thing is jeromys gt40 NEVER WORKED!
yeah same its v hard to tell when singing
Your quite comical Conah lol 😂 remember it’s only banter….
We drive on the left because in jousting you held your stick in your right hand. So we just do everything in the left lol. yes I crash my horse a lot in Saint Denis…dammit
brake horse power is an old term for horse power
I've heard that the speech Centre of the brain is wired to detect accents as quickly as possible. It may have something to do with being able to identify friend from foe and who's a part of your tribe vs who's not.
That could be complete bullshit because I don't remember where I got the info from.
To be fair you don’t call it gas because of its state, it’s short for gasoline. So gas station and petrol station are both correct
8:20 He said Jaaag to a Benz ...
Connor, it's very simple. Everyone in France speaks perfectly good English. Unless you're English.
I can vouch for that .....
Need to do a search on Del Boy speaking French! Bonnet de douch!
brake horse power is what it actually is BHP just most people say horse power instead
The fun part is there was a car that was the template of all other cars , with Gas brake clutch pedals stearing wheel gear shift etc and it was british and gues what the stearing wheel was on the left side of the car. And to go back to that maritime nations have their captains sitting on the starboard side of a ship to see other ships that come from the right . he would give commands to the helms man at his left ,
now forward to the cars , as woman where clearly not fit for driving back in the day , and a woman captain even less. well they pulled the steering wheel to the right as it was more captain like .
In practice around the world , the woman sits on the captains seat on the right complaining and pointing out navigating where you should have got of the freeway. Hence the steering wheel was always correct on the left side of the car,
Toilette and entrepreneur are both french words.
Did you know that the American Virgin Islands drive on the left?
No you can't!
No you don't!
You're wrong!
I expect the French dude knew you were American from the way you waddled up to him ;)
I will extend an olive branch - the majority do drive on the right so yes, we're wrong or to put it another way, distinct and interesting.
Yes they are not constantly making fun of Americans.. and not always Americans.
You don't think your American accent was a give away to thd French man?
When asking where the toilet is in France did you have English words on your shirt as you did while filming this ?
He is joking, he does not mean it.
Connor's a glutton for punishment :)
i think so
9:50
Pssst
there are a lot of nations in Europe, we use English to communicate to each other. You could have been Moldavian and still he would talk to you in English
When maps are produced showing the countries having left or right driving, they are misleading. The maps *should* show the size of the countries in terms of population. An example: Canada, a huge country with a teeny tiny population, drives on the right. The UK, a teeny tiny country with a somewhat larger population, drives on the left. Ditto the US (right). Japan (left). Check these figures. Oh, and let's not forget India, the population of which has either surpassed the population of China, or is about to. The Indians drive on the left. Bangladesh - left. Pakistan - left. Indonesia - left. Thailand - left. The map, properly adjusted, would look very different.
I thought india drive where ever the feck they like.
It's about a third of the world that drives on the left I believe? India alone making probably more than half that number, admittedly.
I served in the british army in Germany in the 90's, and I always found that if you attempted to speak to a local in their language, no matter how bad, they would reciprocate and talk back in english.. there were lots of soldiers that didn't even try, and they would have such a hard time, because the locals obviously thought, if he can't make an effort, why should I ? makes sense really :)
Wallmart😂
we call it a oil not gas
Wait a minute, Clarkson's no Slim Jim. He's funny though.
If someone is hard to understand and you know English, then you switch to English immediatly to avoid confusion.
It is pretty easy to notice when someone is butchering your language
Not all British singers sound American, it depends on the genre and artist.
Yes in short
Horse power is power from the engine
And brake horse power is power at the wheels
BHP is used internationally
EXCEPT FOR AMERICA
IF your wondering why he was taking the pee about only getting 180bhp from a 3.5 litre engine
We have standard cars putting out 180bhp from a 2.0 litre
In fact some 2.0 litre diesel engines will put out 180bhp at the wheels
