The Angela thing is for anyone to use as a codeword to staff in bars etc to help them get out of a potentially dangerous situation by calling them a taxi or allowing them to leave through an alternative exit.
To be a downer, the BBC just did a bit of undercover reporting and found that out of 25 London bars they visited that claimed to be part of the Angela scheme, 13 of them the staff had no idea what the female reporter was talking about when they asked for Angela.
The Angela poster is a scheme in the UK hospitality industry where you can go ask a member of staff 'Can I talk to Angela' and they will help you leave your date discreetly via and alternative route and help get a taxi home.

There's definitely a lot of foxes over here, my usual petrol station has a family of foxes who will happily chill on the forecourt. You can drive right up next to them and they simply don't care! I think they enjoy people watching

Big fuss in the press last week, as the BBC went out to test it - over 50% of the pubs hadn't got a clue what it meant, even though they had the signs up. One pub manager was secretly filmed angrily denying that anyone called Angela had ever worked there - and he should know, he'd been there four years!

The local farm shop dispenses eggs, raw Jersey milk, various milkshakes, potatoes and in the summer months they also dispense strawberries, redcurrants and blackcurrants prepacked.
Where I live in the Scottish Highlands, we have lots of farms that have small farm shops, most of them have honesty boxes, and some of them have those vending machines. Our local farm shop is open 24 hours and has a vending machine selling local meat, eggs, milk, yoghurt, vegetables, honey, soaps, chocolate, literally everything you need. I love how much local produce we are able to buy.
That's until you get the person who decides to leave their shopping trolley/ basket in the queue and wander off 2 or 3 times because "they have forgotten something". I have been known to move the trolley/ basket out of the way so that others and myself can get served and I have told the other person where to go if they didn't like it.
We generally don't have screens on our windows or doors, as for bugs, only really need to worry about the gnat (Mosquitos) and they are easily remedied by having plugins (Electrical plugs that send out an aroma that deters gnats from coming in) Foxes are very common and can sometimes wander indoors, I live in the countryside and slept with my backdoor open in the summer time, woke up to a little fox nibbling on my toes, it was very sweet, our animals don't get rabies btw, that was eradicated in 1902.
In summer, a fox vixen and her two cubs, would spend afternoons in my garden, she would relax in the sun whilst her babies played safely close by, it was magical.
That horse is probably the one called "Ormonde" - he's a famous Lifeguards horse because he bites. Whenever he gets the chance. Sadly, this year the tourists got out of control - far too many of them, and far too many crowding the horses, holding the reins, waving flags and umbrellas in front of the horses, touching the guards... They put up signs "Horses bite, beware" (no effect), then they added "don't hold the reins" (no effect), that was changed to "don't touch the horses" (no effect)... so now they have painted lines on the pavement and tourists are supposed to stay behind the lines. So far it's working reasonably well but we'll have to see if it works during the main season next year. Poor Ormonde, I bet he thinks it's just done to spoil his fun. 😁
@@TheGarryq You're probably right. Well, it could be Arnie then as @christineharding4190 suggests - both those horses are b*da*ses who don't take prisoners. My favourites. 😊
One evening it was snowing heavily , my son wanted to go out to play on his brand new sled, but it was after his bedtime he was told he could play in the morning. By morning it had all gone. He has still not forgiven me 40 years later! The sled has still not been used.
Another comment, sorry! Ask for Angela is a scheme where if someone finds themselves getting unwanted attention and is feeling threatened, they can go to the bar and ask for Angela. It's a code for if they need help to escape a situation and the bar staff will assist them. Also, if you look up the Kings Guard, look up a horse called Ormonde who is famously cranky 😂😂
Ormonde is great lol he isn't cranky he just doesn't suffer fools gladly. Most tourists are fools. When he goes after other guards he just likes to remind them who they are dealing with lol I can watch videos of him alday long lol
I live in Offaly, in Ireland & we have plenty of vending machines for eggs. We even have a local dairy that has a vending machine on their farm for milk, chocolate milk etc.
..can you tie em in a knot, ..can you tie em in a bow, ..can swing em to and fro, 😂 Butt I feel jesting aside, 😅 I hope they really don't inhibit you that much when you're crawling, or bounce off your thighs or knees whilst walking..😮😢😂😅
Nobody in the UK has screen windows unless they're eccentric. We simply don't have a need for them. No bugs or creepy crawlies intent on doing you harm here. Obviously, we have flies, spiders and other things that annoy the hell out of people but they're typically harmless.
@jmillar71110 Oh, please don't remind me of that summer in my childhood when or family visited the Polar Circle monument in Norway. 🫣 Hot day, hardly a cloud to see and middle of bug season... I guess we stayed out of the car for five minutes at most? 😂
Also our windows aren't made to accommodate screens because they don't slide. Typically you'll have handle on the inside and the window opens outwards.
i got a screens on my windows in london i put on lol next to invisible keeps all dust pollen out i hate gnats or anything flying and insects and spiders im allergic to bees and wasps never have to worry about them anymore they are brilliant and cost nothing lol
@@jmillar71110 Yes, I came here to say the same thing... the tiniest of annoying swarms and pure hell... I suppose the 'head nets' could count as an 'insect screen' of sorts..? LOL 😃
There is also a village in Essex called Ugley, which has a Women's Institute. I believe it's now known as "The Women's Institute of Ugley" as they were sick of all the jokes. 😂
I had my neighbour performing DIY at 1am in the morning, he was drilling into the wall and woke me up, I plugged a microphone into my guitar amp and quite loudly shouted, "Are You Taking The Piss?" the drilling stopped, I have had him doing DIY up until about 11pm since then, I used my headphones with my guitar as I did not want to disturb my neighbours, not any more!
"Angela" is a code word, if you're uneasy with someones presence and want to get out of the situation, you go to the bar and ask for "angela" and the bar stuff will give you the nod and get you out of the situation without the other person knowing
It's not always Angela. Some bars tells you to ask for Angel Shots, that way they can keep the Creeper busy at the bars with free shots as the person needing out can excuse themselves to the loo but really be getting into a taxi home without Creeper knowing.
Hi. This gave me a nice boost, particularly your reactions 😂. Re watching videos about the Household Division, something to remember is that all 5 regiments of foot guards (Grenadier, Coldstream, Scots, Irish and Welsh) and both cavalry regiments (Life Guards and Blues & Royals) are full time professional soldiers in the Army - they just happen to rotate every couple of years to ceremonial guard duty too. The foot guards are regular infantry and the cavalry are armoured vehicle (tanks) personnel in their non-ceremonial duties. That’s why you will often see them wearing combat medals when on ceremonial duties and during events such as Trooping the Colour. It’s because they have been serving in combat zones around the world alongside other Army units. That’s why you see dumb tourists (from the UK too) getting into trouble because they think they’re in a theme park rather than at a military guard post (which is why, particularly at Horse Guards where the mounted and dismounted Troopers are close to members of the public, there are armed MOD (Ministry of Defence) police there too). Both foot guards and cavalry can, and do, react to idiotic, and / or stupid members of the public and will shout and / or shove you out of the way and trample over you if you encroach on their guard spaces or don’t move out of their way when they are marching on guard duty. Remember that you would not do that to the same soldier if he / she were carrying out their guard duty in their military fatigues (unless you’re particularly stupid), so why do it when they are carrying out the same guard duty at royal residences, just because they are in their ceremonial uniforms? Hope that helps. 😊
"Silence is golden" these sayings are earned, not given. I like my neighbors because they're quiet, and vice-versa. Also, I have magnetic fly screens on all my windows because I have them open all the time and don't like flies. And most Brits don't like queuing, but know we have to to get what we came for, so we shut up and queue.
We have a "milk machine" in our village car park, its great milk and isn't all shook up like supermarket milk, you take it out of the fridge in the morning and the thick cream is at the top; they also do eggs, and yogurt too. Recently the farmer wife was there topping up the milk, we had a chat, I mentioned to her that the cow in the machine is very placid and doesn't make a single sound! She said its because they change the cow every couple of days! The farm is only 4 miles away, its great to support our local farmers. My Mum's cousin farmed not far away back before the War and up to the 80s when they died, loved going to Sue's for tea as a kid and I'd go with her hubby down to the milking parlour and watch the dairyman sorting out the cows, but they knew the ropes, they'd all go ahead of him out of the field and along the lane and file into the parlour. Jack would plunge a large jug into the stainless steel vat and draw out lovely warm milk for tea. Sue used to churn their own butter by hand. Happy days. I milked a cow once as a kid, we were having a picnic one summers afternoon and on the green spied a lady sitting on a little stool milking a cow so Dad and I went over to see. She asked if I'd like to try, so having seen how she did it I simply copied her! You are very good, she said smiling, hardly a drop wasted! Happy days!
So in London at the church of St Martin’church at Trafalgar Square, there is a lift to go down into the crypt where there is a restaurant. The lift doesn’t work right. When I was visiting in 2011 a sign in the lift indicating that you had to stand close, or the lift would go out of service, that ‘they were attempting to convince the lift that it’s only purpose in life was to go up and down’. The same sign was still there when I visited in 2019..
I have netting on my windows to stop my cat jumping out upstairs, it does help with bugs too. Last night at midnight I had a fox and a hedgehog in my front garden.
Came home late from a dog walk in the summer, neighbours were asleep and suddenly all 3 of the dogs are going apeshit under their window - there was a massive hedgehog in our front garden 😂
“Hi I’m Angela” poster is in a lot of pubs toilets. It is a code for please help me. All the bar staff will be trained to react if they hear this. So if you are standing with somebody who is harassing you, if you feel uncomfortable trying to explain the situation all you have to say is “hi I’m Angela”
@@Snarnler There was a Beeb article on it just the other day. At one large chain pub, the guy supposed to be manager was asked by the female researcher if Angela was working that night. "Nope, don't know any Angela and I've been working here four years." At another boozer, in stark contrast, the barman instantly arranged to keep her date in the pub for long enough for the woman to get to another nearby pub and ask for his pal who worked there and would shelter her until the coast was clear. The scheme is named after a victim of domestic abuse who triggered this safety campaign. And, yes, it's for both men and women who feel unsafe. Not sure how you make the call for help discreet with the codeword so widely publicised.
I live in Scarborough and Thor, the walrus can to stay for a few days over Christmas a couple of years ago. He started until new years eve and the town cancelled it's new years fireworks show, so as not to scare him. He then left to carry on his journey.
Loose Women is indeed a daytime TV show. I gather the US show 'The View' is a very similar format. There is a village near where I used to live called Ugley, and the Women's Institute there is called "The Women's Institute of Ugley" as opposed to the usual format which would be "The Ugley Women's Institute. I was also amused by the name of the working men's club (a traditional social centre and bar) in the Yorkshire vilage of 'Idle' which was named "The Idle Working Men's Club" We don't have screens on windows in the UK. Having them is one of the things I'd struggle with in the US (although completely understand why they are a thing there). I love a window thrown wide open!
Thank you for sharing this, it was hilarious! The best I’ve seen 😀 Yes, we do have lots of cats wandering about….mine would visit my neighbours every day, check around their kitchens and then leave. She did help herself to a chicken breast once, but the neighbour seemed ok about it 🤭
I agree. Please don't use one of the "Shock Jock" type of channels that use a really shocking thumbnail and title to draw you in. London City Walks actually teaches bits about the horses and the rules/traditions of Horse Guards, the place. He will have some of the Ormonde, the beloved biting horse, videos and they are nice to watch sometimes but when tourists swamp the horse while he or she is on duty, not only is it disrespectful, it's bloody dangerous if the horse decides they have had enough and are coming out of their box, which they do.
Yes Loose Women is a show on telly. A talk show. I would love to see your reactions to the harry potter films! May struggle with it on YT though. I'd suggest something like patreon for stuff like that.
The best TH-cam channel to watch for Horseguards is London City Walks. John is the only videographer who gives commentary throughout his videos. He is also the only TH-camr whohas bee allowed to film behind the scenes.

As others have said, the model village is probably in Bourton-on-the-Water. There is a museum that I think that you would both love. It is a transport museum but nothing like an average museum. There is also Birdland, a small zoo worth a visit.
Lindsey is spot on regarding the egg vending machine. Some farms make more money by selling direct to the public to cut the supermarkets out, in my area we have Milk Huts with vending machines for fresh organic milk and flavoured Milk in nice glass bottles.
Can you imagine coming home from the worst day at work and you beloved says they’ll do you beans on toast. You smell the aroma coming from the kitchen and they shout out “How many beans do you want love, 1 or 2?😂😂
The wierdest vending machine I have ever seen was at an isolated garage way out in the Hertfordshire countryside. It sold little tins of bait worms for fishing. There were no rivers nearby.
The model village with the model village in the model village is in Bourton on the Water in Gloucestershire, a must see place! I used to live not far from there a few years ago, having growing up very near by!

I used to work in a pub which has this. If a woman came to the bar and asked if she could speak to 'Angela' we got her into a taxi out the back door. Quietly.
9:53 nope, we don't have screens unless we put them in ourselves. In this country, at least half the year is either/both cold and wet, and i do mean wet. Flooding in various parts is a regular thing.
We don't usually have screens on our windows (or doors, for that matter). Flies are the most common insects to come indoors, along with the occasional wasp or bee (which we try to catch and release back outside). Flies, however, are usually sorted out with fly spray, an aerosol insecticide, which kills them.
The egg vending machine (given it's in a village) is deffo at a farm. I get my milk the same way, from a milkbot outside the dairy wall. The cows come in to milk themselves whenever they feel the need. The milk goes into the ice-cold milkbot other side of the dairy parlour, and we come along with our glass bottles and fill them with milk. They also do cheese and yoghurt alongside the eggs. Works very well!
Generally no screens on windows in UK. The Kings guard now have a box painted on the ground around them and their horses leaving a barrier the public are not to enter.
I used to do the reductions in a supermarket and I literally had people taking things out of my hand. On one occasion customers got into a fight over some of the reduced goods. Once an over enthusiastic customer started talking things before I had reduced them, I didn’t say anything so he would have paid full price at the checkout for his impatience lol😊
" Ask Angela" is a campaign for people feeling threatened or worried on a date/night out. You go up to the bar staff and casually ask if Angela is there. The bar will either call you a taxi or call the police and look after you until you can get home safely without being followed. Angela is a code word that all pubs/nightclubs know. It can be for gay dates as well which is why it is also in the men's bathrooms.

If I join a queue & someone else comes & asks me if I'm at the end of the Queue I always say Not any more. They always look back to check.
Some men prefer other men and can also be in uncomfortable situations. Hence 'Angela', being a codeword to the ber staff can be used by either gender.

That horse is probably the one called "Ormonde" - he's a famous Lifeguards horse because he bites. Whenever he gets the chance. Sadly, this year the tourists got out of control - far too many of them, and far too many crowding the horses, holding the reins, waving flags and umbrellas in front of the horses, touching the guards... They put up signs "Horses bite, beware" (no effect), then they added "don't hold the reins" (no effect), that was changed to "don't touch the horses" (no effect)... so now they have painted lines on the pavement and tourists are supposed to stay behind the lines. So far it's working reasonably well but we'll have to see if it works during the main season next year. Poor Ormonde, I bet he thinks it's just done to spoil his fun. 😁
Don't think it's Ormonde but it might be Radon aka Arnie.
Ormonde is with the Blues and Royals, not the Lifeguards
@@TheGarryq You're probably right. Well, it could be Arnie then as @christineharding4190 suggests - both those horses are b*da*ses who don't take prisoners. My favourites. 😊
I love Ormonde he is the only reason I watch that
@@christineharding4190I too think that is Radon/Arnie. Definitely not Ormonde.
We were in The Cotswolds in Broadway. we awoke 9.00am to find 2" of snow, by 1.00pm it was a lovely warm and sunny day all the snow had gone.
One evening it was snowing heavily , my son wanted to go out to play on his brand new sled, but it was after his bedtime he was told he could play in the morning. By morning it had all gone. He has still not forgiven me 40 years later! The sled has still not been used.
Another comment, sorry!
Ask for Angela is a scheme where if someone finds themselves getting unwanted attention and is feeling threatened, they can go to the bar and ask for Angela. It's a code for if they need help to escape a situation and the bar staff will assist them.
Also, if you look up the Kings Guard, look up a horse called Ormonde who is famously cranky 😂😂
Ormonde is great lol he isn't cranky he just doesn't suffer fools gladly. Most tourists are fools. When he goes after other guards he just likes to remind them who they are dealing with lol
I can watch videos of him alday long lol
@samstevens7888 🤣
The proposal tin is Alphabetti spaghetti. Like your spaghetti O’s but every letter. As kids we had to make the most words on our plate with them lol

I live in Offaly, in Ireland & we have plenty of vending machines for eggs. We even have a local dairy that has a vending machine on their farm for milk, chocolate milk etc.
just as long as the eggs are taken soon and not four weeks old!
And its an Offaly nice place to visit... 😂👍

Nobody in the UK has screen windows unless they're eccentric. We simply don't have a need for them. No bugs or creepy crawlies intent on doing you harm here. Obviously, we have flies, spiders and other things that annoy the hell out of people but they're typically harmless.
Unless your in Scotland at midge season 😂 they buggers are hellish😂
@jmillar71110 Oh, please don't remind me of that summer in my childhood when or family visited the Polar Circle monument in Norway. 🫣
Hot day, hardly a cloud to see and middle of bug season... I guess we stayed out of the car for five minutes at most? 😂
Also our windows aren't made to accommodate screens because they don't slide. Typically you'll have handle on the inside and the window opens outwards.
i got a screens on my windows in london i put on lol next to invisible keeps all dust pollen out i hate gnats or anything flying and insects and spiders im allergic to bees and wasps never have to worry about them anymore they are brilliant and cost nothing lol
@@jmillar71110
Yes, I came here to say the same thing... the tiniest of annoying swarms and pure hell... I suppose the 'head nets' could count as an 'insect screen' of sorts..? LOL 😃
So there are a bunch of foxes.
Foxes are the largest land predator in the UK. Also rabies is extinct here, so he wouldn’t be rabid.
There is also a village in Essex called Ugley, which has a Women's Institute. I believe it's now known as "The Women's Institute of Ugley" as they were sick of all the jokes. 😂
Is it locally pronounced You G Lee (sounds like Hugh/Ewejlee/Hugely without the H) ? instead of Ugly ?

I had my neighbour performing DIY at 1am in the morning, he was drilling into the wall and woke me up, I plugged a microphone into my guitar amp and quite loudly shouted, "Are You Taking The Piss?" the drilling stopped, I have had him doing DIY up until about 11pm since then, I used my headphones with my guitar as I did not want to disturb my neighbours, not any more!
"Angela" is a code word, if you're uneasy with someones presence and want to get out of the situation, you go to the bar and ask for "angela" and the bar stuff will give you the nod and get you out of the situation without the other person knowing
It's not always Angela. Some bars tells you to ask for Angel Shots, that way they can keep the Creeper busy at the bars with free shots as the person needing out can excuse themselves to the loo but really be getting into a taxi home without Creeper knowing.
Hi. This gave me a nice boost, particularly your reactions 😂. Re watching videos about the Household Division, something to remember is that all 5 regiments of foot guards (Grenadier, Coldstream, Scots, Irish and Welsh) and both cavalry regiments (Life Guards and Blues & Royals) are full time professional soldiers in the Army - they just happen to rotate every couple of years to ceremonial guard duty too. The foot guards are regular infantry and the cavalry are armoured vehicle (tanks) personnel in their non-ceremonial duties. That’s why you will often see them wearing combat medals when on ceremonial duties and during events such as Trooping the Colour. It’s because they have been serving in combat zones around the world alongside other Army units. That’s why you see dumb tourists (from the UK too) getting into trouble because they think they’re in a theme park rather than at a military guard post (which is why, particularly at Horse Guards where the mounted and dismounted Troopers are close to members of the public, there are armed MOD (Ministry of Defence) police there too). Both foot guards and cavalry can, and do, react to idiotic, and / or stupid members of the public and will shout and / or shove you out of the way and trample over you if you encroach on their guard spaces or don’t move out of their way when they are marching on guard duty. Remember that you would not do that to the same soldier if he / she were carrying out their guard duty in their military fatigues (unless you’re particularly stupid), so why do it when they are carrying out the same guard duty at royal residences, just because they are in their ceremonial uniforms? Hope that helps. 😊
Having Angela has a code, when it also happens to be your name, can find you constantly being escorted into taxis....🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
"Silence is golden" these sayings are earned, not given. I like my neighbors because they're quiet, and vice-versa. Also, I have magnetic fly screens on all my windows because I have them open all the time and don't like flies. And most Brits don't like queuing, but know we have to to get what we came for, so we shut up and queue.
This Kings Guard is fantastic, he guides his horses head towards "special" people so they can "pet" it , it's amazing and beautiful,
You two really get the British humour.
That was really great to watch. Your reactions were brilliant. 😂😂😂
We have a "milk machine" in our village car park, its great milk and isn't all shook up like supermarket milk, you take it out of the fridge in the morning and the thick cream is at the top; they also do eggs, and yogurt too. Recently the farmer wife was there topping up the milk, we had a chat, I mentioned to her that the cow in the machine is very placid and doesn't make a single sound! She said its because they change the cow every couple of days! The farm is only 4 miles away, its great to support our local farmers. My Mum's cousin farmed not far away back before the War and up to the 80s when they died, loved going to Sue's for tea as a kid and I'd go with her hubby down to the milking parlour and watch the dairyman sorting out the cows, but they knew the ropes, they'd all go ahead of him out of the field and along the lane and file into the parlour. Jack would plunge a large jug into the stainless steel vat and draw out lovely warm milk for tea. Sue used to churn their own butter by hand. Happy days. I milked a cow once as a kid, we were having a picnic one summers afternoon and on the green spied a lady sitting on a little stool milking a cow so Dad and I went over to see. She asked if I'd like to try, so having seen how she did it I simply copied her! You are very good, she said smiling, hardly a drop wasted! Happy days!
So in London at the church of St Martin’church at Trafalgar Square, there is a lift to go down into the crypt where there is a restaurant. The lift doesn’t work right. When I was visiting in 2011 a sign in the lift indicating that you had to stand close, or the lift would go out of service, that ‘they were attempting to convince the lift that it’s only purpose in life was to go up and down’. The same sign was still there when I visited in 2019..
One of the problems with TVs is that the sound now comes out the back as standard, and people now have them mounted on the (party) wall.
Love your laughter and Lindsay giggles..You two are growing to be British everyday...
That a a great laugh. Not seen most of this before so was very funny to watch it with you.
I have netting on my windows to stop my cat jumping out upstairs, it does help with bugs too. Last night at midnight I had a fox and a hedgehog in my front garden.
Came home late from a dog walk in the summer, neighbours were asleep and suddenly all 3 of the dogs are going apeshit under their window - there was a massive hedgehog in our front garden 😂
Bourton-on-the-water is the name of the village with the model, with the model.. ad infinitum…
Well that made a nice change. I haven't seen most of those before. Thank you.
Yes the egg vending machine is on a farm, there are lots of milk vending machines too. Take your own bottle.
OMG the Ferrero Rocher one is genius. I would pay to see the reactions of those kids when they come trick or treating 😂😂😂
If checking out the Kings Guards look at the videos staring Ormonde the horse. He is one grumpy horse and doesn't like tourists lol!
Ormonde is definitely the naughtiest of the guard's horses!!
That's awesome! 🤣 Thanks for the suggestion.
No bugs, no screens
We have plenty of bugs. We're just find of them. We put up bug hotels in our gardens for them and we love having them in the house.
In London you'd need one for maybe about ten (non-consecutive) days in mid-summer 😂
Black Friday has nothing on 4pm discounted meat at Tescos 😈😈😈😈
It is sad rather than funny, I am one of those people who can't afford full price meat.
Two days ago there was an item on TV news. Someone asked for Angela at a couple of pubs but the bar staff were nonplussed.
Ask for Angela is a safety issue rescue, staff will help anyone to get out of building away from uncomfortable situations , great initiative
Thanks guys. I really needed a laugh tonight. And you provided it!!
The egg vending machine is at an unmanned farm shop.
The big bean picture was made by mashing up a whole can of beans and then shaping them into a single bean - so it is a large baked bean.
The model village you're thinking of is in Bourton on the Water, in Gloucesteshire. (Yes, it's the Cotswolds)
“Hi I’m Angela” poster is in a lot of pubs toilets. It is a code for please help me. All the bar staff will be trained to react if they hear this. So if you are standing with somebody who is harassing you, if you feel uncomfortable trying to explain the situation all you have to say is “hi I’m Angela”
Except hardly any places do it😊
Maybe its just me, but if it that is in the mens as stated, I cant see too many people saying 'Hi I am Angela'
They ask for Angela, not say they are Angela
@@wobaguk No, they ask for Angela, not say that's who they are.
@@Snarnler There was a Beeb article on it just the other day. At one large chain pub, the guy supposed to be manager was asked by the female researcher if Angela was working that night. "Nope, don't know any Angela and I've been working here four years." At another boozer, in stark contrast, the barman instantly arranged to keep her date in the pub for long enough for the woman to get to another nearby pub and ask for his pal who worked there and would shelter her until the coast was clear.
The scheme is named after a victim of domestic abuse who triggered this safety campaign. And, yes, it's for both men and women who feel unsafe. Not sure how you make the call for help discreet with the codeword so widely publicised.
I live in Scarborough and Thor, the walrus can to stay for a few days over Christmas a couple of years ago. He started until new years eve and the town cancelled it's new years fireworks show, so as not to scare him. He then left to carry on his journey.
Loose Women is indeed a daytime TV show. I gather the US show 'The View' is a very similar format.
There is a village near where I used to live called Ugley, and the Women's Institute there is called "The Women's Institute of Ugley" as opposed to the usual format which would be "The Ugley Women's Institute.
I was also amused by the name of the working men's club (a traditional social centre and bar) in the Yorkshire vilage of 'Idle' which was named "The Idle Working Men's Club"
We don't have screens on windows in the UK. Having them is one of the things I'd struggle with in the US (although completely understand why they are a thing there). I love a window thrown wide open!
That's it, not loose, it was the village of Ugley we were thinking of. 🤣
Thank you for sharing this, it was hilarious! The best I’ve seen 😀
Yes, we do have lots of cats wandering about….mine would visit my neighbours every day, check around their kitchens and then leave. She did help herself to a chicken breast once, but the neighbour seemed ok about it 🤭
I love the 'inception' model village with the model of the model village
I have loads of cats that come to my garden and sometimes come I. The house for a little nosey.
In Yorkshire there is a town called Idle. It has an Idle Working Men's Club.
For the king troops try London City walks
I agree. Please don't use one of the "Shock Jock" type of channels that use a really shocking thumbnail and title to draw you in. London City Walks actually teaches bits about the horses and the rules/traditions of Horse Guards, the place. He will have some of the Ormonde, the beloved biting horse, videos and they are nice to watch sometimes but when tourists swamp the horse while he or she is on duty, not only is it disrespectful, it's bloody dangerous if the horse decides they have had enough and are coming out of their box, which they do.
@@hellsbells8689 I think they've painted a white line 'box' to help people keep their distance now
Yes Loose Women is a show on telly. A talk show. I would love to see your reactions to the harry potter films! May struggle with it on YT though. I'd suggest something like patreon for stuff like that.
Like their 'the View.'
This was very funny, thank you 😃
The best 24/7 vending machine I’ve seen is for chilled fudge donuts (with custard filling) ;)
Bourton on the Water is the model village place. Rather a tourist trap but the model village is good fun.
The best TH-cam channel to watch for Horseguards is London City Walks. John is the only videographer who gives commentary throughout his videos. He is also the only TH-camr whohas bee allowed to film behind the scenes.
The model village is in Bourton -on-the-Water.

As others have said, the model village is probably in Bourton-on-the-Water. There is a museum that I think that you would both love. It is a transport museum but nothing like an average museum. There is also Birdland, a small zoo worth a visit.
Lindsey is spot on regarding the egg vending machine.
Some farms make more money by selling direct to the public to cut the supermarkets out, in my area we have Milk Huts with vending machines for fresh organic milk and flavoured Milk in nice glass bottles.
Can you imagine coming home from the worst day at work and you beloved says they’ll do you beans on toast. You smell the aroma coming from the kitchen and they shout out “How many beans do you want love, 1 or 2?😂😂
People driving into houses is more common than people think. Never had Steve drive into one of my houses though. 😂
The wierdest vending machine I have ever seen was at an isolated garage way out in the Hertfordshire countryside. It sold little tins of bait worms for fishing. There were no rivers nearby.
The model village with the model village in the model village is in Bourton on the Water in Gloucestershire, a must see place! I used to live not far from there a few years ago, having growing up very near by!

I used to work in a pub which has this. If a woman came to the bar and asked if she could speak to 'Angela' we got her into a taxi out the back door. Quietly.
9:53 nope, we don't have screens unless we put them in ourselves. In this country, at least half the year is either/both cold and wet, and i do mean wet. Flooding in various parts is a regular thing.
Yes, we have an egg vending machine locally and it's very popular. Straight from the hen house to the public.
We don't usually have screens on our windows (or doors, for that matter). Flies are the most common insects to come indoors, along with the occasional wasp or bee (which we try to catch and release back outside). Flies, however, are usually sorted out with fly spray, an aerosol insecticide, which kills them.
The egg vending machine (given it's in a village) is deffo at a farm. I get my milk the same way, from a milkbot outside the dairy wall. The cows come in to milk themselves whenever they feel the need. The milk goes into the ice-cold milkbot other side of the dairy parlour, and we come along with our glass bottles and fill them with milk. They also do cheese and yoghurt alongside the eggs. Works very well!
That Big Bean is a short fat sausage covered with the sauce from a can of beans. Very funny
Generally no screens on windows in UK. The Kings guard now have a box painted on the ground around them and their horses leaving a barrier the public are not to enter.
Great film of the Horse Guards having a day out at Yellowcraig Beach in Scotland 2023. It's only 10 minutes, but so feel good!
I used to do the reductions in a supermarket and I literally had people taking things out of my hand. On one occasion customers got into a fight over some of the reduced goods. Once an over enthusiastic customer started talking things before I had reduced them, I didn’t say anything so he would have paid full price at the checkout for his impatience lol😊
Angela is just a code word for the bar staff. If you ask for Angela they'll help you escape the situation you're in.
Yes there is a village called Loose in Kent just outside Maidstone and it certainly used to have a women’s institute!!!!
I laughed at the narrator's pronunciation of Scarborough harbour!
" Ask Angela" is a campaign for people feeling threatened or worried on a date/night out. You go up to the bar staff and casually ask if Angela is there. The bar will either call you a taxi or call the police and look after you until you can get home safely without being followed. Angela is a code word that all pubs/nightclubs know. It can be for gay dates as well which is why it is also in the men's bathrooms.
