"cheeky" has been applied to alcoholic drinks for decades. The word means rude or impudent but in this context relates to a sudden and unplanned decision, so walking past a pub with some mates and saying, "Shall we pop in for a cheeky pint", is older than you! It was subsequently applied to Nandos, presumably because of its popularity and is commonly used when out getting drunk! One of my daughters works ina branch of Nandos.
Car Boot sales in the UK are normally organised in villages or town sizes and can be a huge conglomeration of just one table or the back of cars or even large stalls! These are held either monthly or more likely weekly. Cheers Aah Kid

Don't understand the metric system??? It's much easier. Very few people under 50 in the UK use imperial except in certain circumstances (pint of beer, "it's miles away" etc)
Round-abouts are a simple but very effective way to allow traffic to traverse intersections safely. Recently one has been installed where our rural road intersects a main road carrying heavy traffic, in both senses of the word. When we moved here some twelve years ago, we could get out onto the main road with little waiting time. Ten years later we could take several minutes wait before the traffic thinned enough to move out. Now, with the round-about functioning we can progress easily into the traffic in either direction with the need only to check one way before moving out. Simple, easy to use and safe.
the pancakes shown I consider Scottish pancakes, smaller and fatter, and can be eaten cold or with savouries. Crepes are what people usually make for Pancake Day, with lemon, sugar and butter.
Yes, I was thinking that...and I think the most traditional pancakes here are probably eaten with just lemon and sugar. What on earth were those brown 'stones' in the pancakes shown first in that sequence...? 🧐 😝
Well didn't your solo trip to the UK do you good! I see a much feistier, relaxed & cheekier Joel & I strongly approve. Come back & see us again soon, we'll make an honorary Brit out of you before long. You're halfway there already!
Let me politely point out that on Shrove Tuesday It was traditional in many societies to eat pancakes or other foods made with the butter, eggs and fat or lard that would need to be used up before the beginning of Lent. We did not have baking soda back then. (Trust Americans to invent modern fluffy pancakes! Your fluffy pancakes have only been around since the mid 1800s. Ours have been around since the Romans invaded!!!!!!)
His comments on the downstairs toilets were stupid. Just because Americans or Canadians may not like the word “toilet” doesn’t mean others don’t. A toilet is a toilette in France and so on throughout Europe.
No one's wrong here. It's just in North America we try to soften graphic, explicit words and phrases so that they're not unnecessarily (even gratuitously) "harsh". So instead of "the defecation chamber" we might say "the restroom" or "the bathroom", even "the lavatory", taking the spotlight off a potentially unpleasant, unflattering bodily function thought and nose picture ..."sanitizing" the expression, as it were. Silly us! Also, "toilet" seems to indicate definitely unloading human waste, whereas "the restroom" could mean just cleaning up and grooming. There is a distinction there.
@@Carol-FB hi . Or maybe just washing your hands or face. Or grooming using the mirror. Adjusting clothing, etc. A "toilet" visit I'm just saying doesn't necessarily mean using the toilet at all, zero. You're right that "restroom" is vague. How about "where's the pit-stop room?"...I need a break from all this non-stop racing! Cheers
As an English, I’ve never been to Nando’s. Had no idea it was so popular. Thought it was one of those new trendy foreign fast food outlets. I prefer a cheeky Indy bindi.
I have found that the UK seems to use the Metric system when it comes to temperature a LOT, but distance, and weight they mix them up a lot. The "second hand stuff" isn't just the UK..."Flea Marketing" is huge here in the USA...well, at least here in Kentucky...Louisville has a HUGE flea market just south of it in a smaller city named Shepherdsville.
Nandos isn't actually British or American, it's South African. First one opened on Joburg. The UK is their largest market though, we absolutely love it.
@@101steel4 Did I say everyone?! We love football and tea and imperialism as a nation, and Midsummer Murders and binge drinking and cricket and fish and chips and Walkers Crisps... But not everyone. Obviously. I thought that was obvious enough I didn't need to explicitly say it.
The reference cheeky is quite recent. It refers to something we perhaps shouldn't do, but we sneaked it anyway - like a cheeky pint. As if we just meant to go shopping only, but we managed to have a cheeky drink. Personally, I think it's a crap thing to say.
Those are not Pancakes! It's a religious Thing! Shrove Tuesday! Lemon and Sugar is the Norm! Put 100g plain flour, 2 large eggs, 300ml milk, 1 tbsp sunflower or vegetable oil and a pinch of salt into a bowl or large jug, then whisk to a smooth batter and fry!
"Lemon and sugar is the norm", but not compulsory. Try them with some ice cream and dash of Cointreau. Or with Nutella, or as a savoury with cheese, mushroom and a sprinkle of Tarragon.
Nandos is is a South African based franchise business and started with Peri Peri chicken based on the Portugese sauce coming from neighbouring Mozambique, a former Portuguese colony.
@@Joanna-il2ur yeah I'm sure that's true but they are crepes the one I'm talking about were more like the griddle cake or dropped scone that went over to the states from Scotland and the North
Eggs flour and of course milk. My brothers could eat twelve at a time! Served with a little sugar and a squeeze or orange. This snack would be served on Shrove Tuesday. Me, I hate the things!
Those pancakes are not representative of Pancake Day pancakes. They should be thinner and fill the diameter of pan. When cooked the topping (typically lemon juice and sugar) is added then the pancake is rolled up.
Nandos started in South Africa, in 1987. It came to the UK in 1992, Canada in 1994, and USA in 2008. By the way, it was the Romans who invented the imperial system, and British who invented the Metric system, though the French were the first to implement it.
Metric temperatures are piss easy if you think of it as 0°C is when water freezes and 100°C is when water boils and both -40°C and -40°F are the same temperature which is how cold it has to get for schools to close in Canada. Body temperature is on average 37°C (98.6°F)
Hi joel i use both metric and imperial systems of measurement. Roundabouts are actually a great junction to use. They are more efficient than Traffic lights because if the entrance to the roundabout is clear then the driver entering the roundabout soesnt have to stop they just enter and then exit the junction eithout stopping. Shed culture in the uk is massive most of the worlds inventions have been invented in a Garden Shed in the uk also most small businesses are started in Garden Sheds. I had a Grandad who used to escape to his shed from the wife. He kitted it out with a chair a radio and a smoking area. He used to go to it when he got up and come in when she went out so he escaped her nagging As for getting pissed we brits rule at that lastime lol Eurovision is a bloody joke I'm a Brit and im always findin new things out about the UK i didnt know. So yes your correct about the uk it doesnt matter how many times you visit youll always discover something new
I've got four floors in my house, the cellar, attic and first floor have toilets or loos, but the ground floor, (first floor in the US) does not. The only bathroom is the one with the bath in it, the attic is the shower room, and the cellar is the Saniflo.
Speaking from NZ, roundabouts are so easy and conducive to preventing traffic jams! Surely only mentally lazy people can't follow the simple guidelines to using them to speed traffic flow.
It would be worth seeing if there are any videos on things that were popular but are not now. Things change and not always for the better. You struggle to find proper cafe's these day despite the high streets being full of them. Most are just over priced coffee and cakes.
It’s great learning about Britain 🇬🇧 and americas differences but we’d like to learn more about the USA’s culture 🇺🇸 more roaming around your backyard would be interesting
I can give you a quick run through on American culture, The Original invaders killed buffalo,then the native indigenous people,Robbed the land,then continued this policy all around the world until the present day!
Measurments, best of both worlds! Never had a cheeky nando and do not know what one is! My shed houses a fogre. sticker books and Eurovision never interested me. Despite the naration, Pancake Tuesday predates Christianity, it celebrates the end of winter and using up all the winter storage foodstuffs (flour) as spring is here and fresh food is now available again. Before car boot sales people used to ahve Jumble sales, which is exactly the same a a garage sale. We are not so different are we!
I was 11 years old in 1971 when the UK change over the metric system including our currency ( I think that’s correct, but it was a long time ago) ! It’s a much simpler and easier system to use, it’s all about multiplication or division by factors of 10.
I think our mixed up metric/imperial system is because metric is taught in schools. It's the 'official' system. However we use imperial colloquially, in the same way as you'll still hear people call 10p, two bob sometimes. Personally whatever unit is used I have to convert it to the other just to be sure.
It got really mixed up with decimilisation coming in. I got taught a hodge podge at school and did find the Metric System difficult when we switched over for weights in shops. I'm still more used to a 2lb bag of sugar. It was easier asking at the sweetie shop for a quarter.
I'm Australian. We made the change to decimal currency in 1966 and with weights and measures in 1976. It is a lot easier to remember 10 than it was to remember all the crazy conversions under the Imperial system.
Save me from Mojo videos. Clearly not the “10 best of” but more accurately “10 of the best”. Even then they make jarring mistakes so their research is obviously poor and not just in this video.
Brits under the age of about 55 were all only taught the metric system. The ones that don't understand the metric system are either older than that or probably can't work either.
You don't get Metric 🤔 - 10 Millimetres in a Centimetre - 100 Centimetres in a Metre - 1000 Metres in a Kilometre - What's not to understand - it's all multiples of 10 - most of us have 10 fingers and 10 toes. Way better than the Imperial system. 12 inches in a foot... 3 Feet in a Yard - 1760 yards in a mile - Weights: 16 ounces in a pound - 14 pounds in a stone - I mean does that even make sense. I even had to ask Google if 16 ounces made a lb as it seemed so ridiculous to me. I am over 50 before you assume anything 😂
Sorry, its not being able to calculate with metric units, its having a basic knowledge (feel) for how big/small something is. I know 10mm is 1cm and 10cm is 1dm and 10dm is 1m, but I don't know how big any of those measurements is. I know how big an inch is, its about the width of my thumb, 4 inches is about the width of my hand, at the knuckles, a yard is about the length of a piece of material held at my nose to my out stretched hand, and I know its not exactly the same measure for everyone, but it does give me a feel for how big things are. I can visualise someone who is 5 feet 9 inches, but not 175cm or 1.75m, I know how heavy (fat/lean) someone who is 12st 0lb is, no idea about 168lb, even less 76Kg, If I pick up a glass of beer, I can know its a pint (or god forbid 1/2 a pint) If it were a litre, I would know it was less than a pint but not what it was. In writing this I noticed 1dm is about a 'Hand' (4 inches), thanks this will be useful in estimating for me.
@@stephenlee5929we don't usually use the dm. I only know about it as I had an auntie living Spain who used to buy me random stuff as a kid and I got a ruler with dm. Tried telling my maths teacher about it and she thought I was crazy.
@@andrewvalentine6977 In Australia we switched to metric in 1971 and the only place I have ever seen "dm" mentioned is on TH-cam videos, it is a pointless complication. People who can't let go of the Imperial/United States customary units, are just causing themselves more headaches than anything.
@@stephenlee5929 I might be totally wrong about this but Americans seem to use Pounds for someone's weight as opposed to Stones and Pounds like we do in the UK. However I do know both of my measurements in both Imperial and Metric. I kind of wish I never knew that I was 5ft 7" so I didn't wish I was 6ft 🤔 No ones ever said "I'm 171cm I wish I was 182cm" 😏
Hi Joel ! As a matter of interest about drunkenness, in the 70s and 80s I know that the US forces coming to Europe were actually warned about getting into drinking contests with the British forces. As it said on their info leaflet I saw you will not win. At the NATO base in Sardinia when I was there on a Harrier Squadron their ground crew invited us to a toga party (who knew???) they didn’t have enough tinnies in their iced garbage bins, they had to collect two more loads, great party though! Cheers Joel
@@jukingabout No, I just make pancakes the way my mother made them. And I have seen packet of pancakes that are similar to homemade. So what are scotch pancakes?
Scotch Pancakes are called drop scones in some parts of Britain. They did look like traditional Scotch Pancakes and as a child it was lemon and sugar but these days I would do butter or maple syrup
@@Jinty92 Thank you for your kind response. I never came across them until later in my life, and to me they are just thicker than the pancakes I had when a kid. Again thank you.
I'm wondering if the 'cheeky' aspect of a 'cheeky Nando's' is due to going out in the UK being largely about drinking. Actually having food at some point in the evening seems like an interruption, yet everyone knows they have to do so, so they do 'cheekily.'
Old people tend to use imperial mostly for measuring and weighing. Young people prefer metric...for obvious reasons. I use Miles and Km...cos I prefer Km, but speed limits and signs are miles
There was a local roundabout c.ose to where I live. They built a supermarket and changed the Junction to traffic lights. It takes 4 times longer to get through it (not a lot of supermarket traffic I could see when trying to get through the junction).
I've never been to Nandos or Greggs either Mark mate. I've never considered that having "bragging rights" in the same way people who use the phrase "a cheeky Nandos" bore the arse off me.
Ha ha! Mixing up metric and imperial - so true! 😂 But a 5 ft fluorescent tube is so much easier to figure out than however the many millimetres! And funnily enough, the first time I ever heard mention of a 'cheeky Nando's' it was your fellow American Jimmy Osmond! Mind you he was in England when he said it 🤔
Nando's is based on the churrasqueira of Portugal (where I live). These barbeque-type restaurants can be found everywhere and specialise in chicken piri-piri. The one in my town has been going for decades and I can eat half a chicken with fries and salad for €7. It's amazing.
Nando’s actually comes from South Africa, started in Johannesburg. Portuguese recipe and then crossed the pond over to the UK. Just a little fun fact 😉
That was really weird watching that, I almost said out loud BLUE BERRIES ON PANCAKES? IN THE BATTER? 😮, I had to look outside to make sure I was still in the UK 👀 😂
Nando's opened its first restaurants within the United Kingdom, in 1992, in the west London suburbs of Ealing and Earls Court, initially focusing on takeaway food.
@@Dr_KAP If it's my choice of location for a group meal it is going to be well down the list. I have just had a close look at their menu online and that has definitely not changed anything.
Every 2 years there's a major international football tournament in the summer which is just the sort of encouragement needed for Public Drunkeness. FIFA WORLD CUP and the UEFA EUROPEAN CHAMPIONSHIPS commonly known as The Euros.
The cheeky Nandos thing, as far as I'm aware, doesn't apply every time you chose to go to Nandos. Like if you wanted to go there for dinner, it would just be "Fancy a Nandos?". However, if you wanted to go there at an unusual time, say during lunch at work, or shortly after another meal, it would then be "Fancy a cheeky Nandos?". Cheeky is used if someone is rude i.e. "You look like you've put on weight" - "Oi, cheeky sod" but in a more colloquial sense it's used as sort of a catch all for something "naughty".
I'm a 52 year-old Brit who drinks way too much...my liver is ok but the left leg shakes...when I was 18 my Irish mother had no problem in buying me a bottle of bourbon when she went to the supermarket on Friday...a bottle which I would neck in one evening...what kind of mother is that ? An Irish one...
I was watching a Veritasium video here on TH-cam about the metric system. It turns out that nowadays everyone in the US unknowingly uses the metric system because all weights and measures are now determined in relation to metric equivalents. A pound, for example, is now determined as the correct weight in relation to how many grams it is.
Cheeky Nandos should only ever be said ironically. The only time I've ever had one I used a gift voucher that I got from work and it gave me the shits real bad.
After a few drinks, you decide between a cheeky Nando's or a Dirty Burger (McD and Burger King). Either way, afterwards you feel dirty for having eaten them...
I'm English and from the North and hadn't actually heard of Nandos. They look like Mexican tortillas. Fun facts: Our national dish is Tikka masala, which comes from India. The only two official languages in the UK are English and Welsh. More than 50% of all beer sales in the UK are Real Ale.
You're right, Joel, measuring distances by the divisions 12-3-1760 is so much easier than 10-10-10-10. Weights divided by 16-14-2-4-20 is obviously simpler than 10-10-10-10-10. 😂
I'm in the UK and in my 60's - I use metric exclusively except for road travel (changing all the road signs simultaneously was just too much trouble). I have a science/engineering background and metric is so much simpler than Imperial. Also note that what is used in the US isn't quite the same as what we used in the UK. A bit of history... The "Metric Conversion Act of 1975" was signed into law by Gerald Ford and in 1991 George W. Bush issued an executive order to "take all appropriate measures within their authority" to use the metric system "as the preferred system of weights and measures for United States trade and commerce". That obviously went well!
Us Brits do love our bland food, but we don't shy from spices either. We have a palate that enjoys both. One day we may have bangers and mash and the next a Chicken Vindaloo. Its how we are built
When I was a kid we used to go to jumble sales at school, church halls, anywhere with enough room. 🤣😂🤣😂 Those scotch pancakes looked nice and so did that traditional ones I caught a glimpse of. Golden Syrup or Canadian Maple Syrup on pancakes is heaven. 🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤 You needed to try a Balti Curry when you were over here Joel. Not only can you have a cheeky Nando’s, but I bet you had a few cheeky beers too. 🤣😂🤣😂 Busted Joel, I bet you are a expert after submerging yourself in the British drinking culture. Prof JPS M.D, PHD, D.R.U.N.K, B.E.E.R 🤣😂🤣😂 Have an awesome week and now your home you need to be 21 not 18 to buy alcohol. 👍🏻👍🏻😉😉🖖🏻🖖🏻🤣😂🤣
The funniest ugh! Drunk I have seen, is a Chap fell into the gutter spilling his fish and chips meal into the road, so he lays there eating his meal off the road. The old imperial measures are easier, you know what your getting, like an inch = a bent thumb, a foot=speaks for itself, a yard - an arms length. I/2 pint 1 cup full. 4 apples to a pound (lb), 2lb sugar and potatoes= heavy😁. Pancakes fill the whole pan, small what are called pancakes are drop scones.
I can't understand why so many people are worried about the metric system. I am an Australian. We used pounds, shillings and pence until February, 1966 when we changed to decimal currency. So much simpler to deal with decimal currency! In 1976 we changed from Imperial weights and measures to the metric system. I managed to live through both changes. Metric weights and measures is so much more simple. Who ever came up with the Imperial system was smoking something they should not have been.
Pancakes are quite different in the UK compared to the US, in America they are more like a thin sponge cake cooked in a frying pan, like those in the video, where as British pancakes cooked in their millions on Shrove Tuesday {pancake day} are very much like the continental "crepe" thin and covered with a filling {most traditional is sugar and lemon juice} and rolled up!

@@paulsd8550 you're not resting but using the toilet wether to pee or to poo
@@Carol-FB hi . Or maybe just washing your hands or face. Or grooming using the mirror. Adjusting clothing, etc. A "toilet" visit I'm just saying doesn't necessarily mean using the toilet at all, zero. You're right that "restroom" is vague. How about "where's the pit-stop room?"...I need a break from all this non-stop racing! Cheers
It's oddly shy 🤭 I had an American ask for the "rest room" but I knew what she meant 😉
As an English, I’ve never been to Nando’s. Had no idea it was so popular. Thought it was one of those new trendy foreign fast food outlets. I prefer a cheeky Indy bindi.
An English what?
You aren't missing much.
@@michaelprobert4014learner?
What is Indy bindi exactly? Serach results for indy bindi yeild textiles, consuming fabric regularly is not advisable
I've been twice and it seems to be expensive chichen and chips; nothing wrong with that but not sure why it's so popular.
Is their chicken free range?
These are not Pancakes!!!!!
I'm raging at whoever put that in... and blueberries? 😠
Yeah the blueberries especially were totally unacceptable 😂
I have found that the UK seems to use the Metric system when it comes to temperature a LOT, but distance, and weight they mix them up a lot. The "second hand stuff" isn't just the UK..."Flea Marketing" is huge here in the USA...well, at least here in Kentucky...Louisville has a HUGE flea market just south of it in a smaller city named Shepherdsville.
Americans love flea markets and their inside cousins thrift stores.
Nandos isn't actually British or American, it's South African. First one opened on Joburg. The UK is their largest market though, we absolutely love it.
Not everyone.
Never been in one, never seen the appeal.
@@101steel4 Did I say everyone?! We love football and tea and imperialism as a nation, and Midsummer Murders and binge drinking and cricket and fish and chips and Walkers Crisps... But not everyone. Obviously. I thought that was obvious enough I didn't need to explicitly say it.
@@xneurianx you said "we"
@@101steel4"we" just implies more than one. Which is true. More than one person enjoys it. It doesn't mean everyone.
The reference cheeky is quite recent. It refers to something we perhaps shouldn't do, but we sneaked it anyway - like a cheeky pint. As if we just meant to go shopping only, but we managed to have a cheeky drink. Personally, I think it's a crap thing to say.
I prefer 'quick pint'. It really means you extend the time a little and slip in a second.
I think saying crap is crap thing to say..lol. only joking.
Metric is easier than imperial. Everything is in 10s. 10mm to 1cm. 100cm to 1 metre. So it would be 1000mm to a metre. And so on….
Spot on kid
They missed out pantomimes.
We are a weird bunch!
Good video Joel! Have a great weekend, John
Those are not Pancakes! It's a religious Thing! Shrove Tuesday! Lemon and Sugar is the Norm! Put 100g plain flour, 2 large eggs, 300ml milk, 1 tbsp sunflower or vegetable oil and a pinch of salt into a bowl or large jug, then whisk to a smooth batter and fry!
"Lemon and sugar is the norm", but not compulsory. Try them with some ice cream and dash of Cointreau. Or with Nutella, or as a savoury with cheese, mushroom and a sprinkle of Tarragon.
I have never put oil into the pancake mix
You’re mixing both metrics and imperial!😅
@@rocketrabble6737 Nor have I it's BBC Good Housekeeping recipe, I copied and pasted but as usual didn't read first lol
@@robcrossgrove7927 I really like Cherry Pie filling and a dob of Ice Cream reminds me of Little Chef's Jubilee Pancakes!
Nandos is is a South African based franchise business and started with Peri Peri chicken based on the Portugese sauce coming from neighbouring Mozambique, a former Portuguese colony.
American pancakes were taken to America from Scotland and the northern English who settled apalachia
The most famous pancakes are however in southern England. Olney in Buckinghamshire has an annual pancake race. Check it out.
@@Joanna-il2ur yeah I'm sure that's true but they are crepes the one I'm talking about were more like the griddle cake or dropped scone that went over to the states from Scotland and the North
@@martinburke362 no, the Olney pancakes are the real sort. The unmarried women run down the high street tossing then in frying pans.
I don't care where they originated, I just am thankful to eat them on a day that actually says I can 😆
Never had scotch pancakes in northern england only the big proper ones.
Those aren't British pancakes.
They are Scottish! Otherwise I am with you. I would certainly never let blueberries anywhere near them
Eggs flour and of course milk. My brothers could eat twelve at a time! Served with a little sugar and a squeeze or orange. This snack would be served on Shrove Tuesday. Me, I hate the things!
Those pancakes are not representative of Pancake Day pancakes. They should be thinner and fill the diameter of pan. When cooked the topping (typically lemon juice and sugar) is added then the pancake is rolled up.
Nandos started in South Africa, in 1987. It came to the UK in 1992, Canada in 1994, and USA in 2008.
By the way, it was the Romans who invented the imperial system, and British who invented the Metric system, though the French were the first to implement it.
Metric temperatures are piss easy if you think of it as 0°C is when water freezes and 100°C is when water boils and both -40°C and -40°F are the same temperature which is how cold it has to get for schools to close in Canada.
Body temperature is on average 37°C (98.6°F)
Hi joel i use both metric and imperial systems of measurement.
Roundabouts are actually a great junction to use. They are more efficient than Traffic lights because if the entrance to the roundabout is clear then the driver entering the roundabout soesnt have to stop they just enter and then exit the junction eithout stopping.
Shed culture in the uk is massive most of the worlds inventions have been invented in a Garden Shed in the uk also most small businesses are started in Garden Sheds. I had a Grandad who used to escape to his shed from the wife. He kitted it out with a chair a radio and a smoking area. He used to go to it when he got up and come in when she went out so he escaped her nagging
As for getting pissed we brits rule at that lastime lol
Eurovision is a bloody joke
I'm a Brit and im always findin new things out about the UK i didnt know. So yes your correct about the uk it doesnt matter how many times you visit youll always discover something new
I've got four floors in my house, the cellar, attic and first floor have toilets or loos, but the ground floor, (first floor in the US) does not. The only bathroom is the one with the bath in it, the attic is the shower room, and the cellar is the Saniflo.
if you get in a lift / elevator in the US does it have a 'G' button i.e. to signify the ground floor? then 1,2,3 etc ?
Here in Wales, we love "a cheeky brew" aka a cup of tea with a good mate - gossip is optional 😅
Speaking from NZ, roundabouts are so easy and conducive to preventing traffic jams! Surely only mentally lazy people can't follow the simple guidelines to using them to speed traffic flow.
It would be worth seeing if there are any videos on things that were popular but are not now. Things change and not always for the better. You struggle to find proper cafe's these day despite the high streets being full of them. Most are just over priced coffee and cakes.
It’s great learning about Britain 🇬🇧 and americas differences but we’d like to learn more about the USA’s culture 🇺🇸 more roaming around your backyard would be interesting
I can give you a quick run through on American culture, The Original invaders killed buffalo,then the native indigenous people,Robbed the land,then continued this policy all around the world until the present day!
No we do NOT want to know more about usa…..
Measurments, best of both worlds! Never had a cheeky nando and do not know what one is! My shed houses a fogre. sticker books and Eurovision never interested me. Despite the naration, Pancake Tuesday predates Christianity, it celebrates the end of winter and using up all the winter storage foodstuffs (flour) as spring is here and fresh food is now available again. Before car boot sales people used to ahve Jumble sales, which is exactly the same a a garage sale. We are not so different are we!
I was 11 years old in 1971 when the UK change over the metric system including our currency ( I think that’s correct, but it was a long time ago) !
It’s a much simpler and easier system to use, it’s all about multiplication or division by factors of 10.
Great reaction, mate. Can tell you are genuinely interested in Britain.
Those were not UK Pancakes!!
No they were Scotch Pancakes. Was a sells them here constantly but nothing beats homemade. My neighbour's are excellent.
Asda
Those were not proper British pancakes, they should be much thinner, sprinkled with sugar and lemon juice, then rolled up to eat.
French Crepes in other words.
@@nickhickson8738 ,
No, Crepes are thinner and only cooked on one side.
I think our mixed up metric/imperial system is because metric is taught in schools. It's the 'official' system. However we use imperial colloquially, in the same way as you'll still hear people call 10p, two bob sometimes. Personally whatever unit is used I have to convert it to the other just to be sure.
It got really mixed up with decimilisation coming in. I got taught a hodge podge at school and did find the Metric System difficult when we switched over for weights in shops. I'm still more used to a 2lb bag of sugar. It was easier asking at the sweetie shop for a quarter.
I'm Australian. We made the change to decimal currency in 1966 and with weights and measures in 1976. It is a lot easier to remember 10 than it was to remember all the crazy conversions under the Imperial system.
Save me from Mojo videos. Clearly not the “10 best of” but more accurately “10 of the best”. Even then they make jarring mistakes so their research is obviously poor and not just in this video.
Yes they weren't proper pancakes, no lemon juice in sight
Brits under the age of about 55 were all only taught the metric system. The ones that don't understand the metric system are either older than that or probably can't work either.
Love pancakes but we strictly only ever had them on Pancake days in our house 😅
You don't get Metric 🤔 - 10 Millimetres in a Centimetre - 100 Centimetres in a Metre - 1000 Metres in a Kilometre - What's not to understand - it's all multiples of 10 - most of us have 10 fingers and 10 toes. Way better than the Imperial system. 12 inches in a foot... 3 Feet in a Yard - 1760 yards in a mile - Weights: 16 ounces in a pound - 14 pounds in a stone - I mean does that even make sense. I even had to ask Google if 16 ounces made a lb as it seemed so ridiculous to me. I am over 50 before you assume anything 😂
Sorry, its not being able to calculate with metric units, its having a basic knowledge (feel) for how big/small something is.
I know 10mm is 1cm and 10cm is 1dm and 10dm is 1m, but I don't know how big any of those measurements is.
I know how big an inch is, its about the width of my thumb, 4 inches is about the width of my hand, at the knuckles, a yard is about the length of a piece of material held at my nose to my out stretched hand, and I know its not exactly the same measure for everyone, but it does give me a feel for how big things are.
I can visualise someone who is 5 feet 9 inches, but not 175cm or 1.75m,
I know how heavy (fat/lean) someone who is 12st 0lb is, no idea about 168lb, even less 76Kg,
If I pick up a glass of beer, I can know its a pint (or god forbid 1/2 a pint) If it were a litre, I would know it was less than a pint but not what it was.
In writing this I noticed 1dm is about a 'Hand' (4 inches), thanks this will be useful in estimating for me.
@@stephenlee5929we don't usually use the dm. I only know about it as I had an auntie living Spain who used to buy me random stuff as a kid and I got a ruler with dm. Tried telling my maths teacher about it and she thought I was crazy.
@@andrewvalentine6977 In Australia we switched to metric in 1971 and the only place I have ever seen "dm" mentioned is on TH-cam videos, it is a pointless complication.
People who can't let go of the Imperial/United States customary units, are just causing themselves more headaches than anything.
@@stephenlee5929 I might be totally wrong about this but Americans seem to use Pounds for someone's weight as opposed to Stones and Pounds like we do in the UK. However I do know both of my measurements in both Imperial and Metric. I kind of wish I never knew that I was 5ft 7" so I didn't wish I was 6ft 🤔 No ones ever said "I'm 171cm I wish I was 182cm" 😏
You personify the 'cheeky' grin, Mr Simpson, especially when trying not to say what you want to say
Hi Joel ! As a matter of interest about drunkenness, in the 70s and 80s I know that the US forces coming to Europe were actually warned about getting into drinking contests with the British forces. As it said on their info leaflet I saw you will not win. At the NATO base in Sardinia when I was there on a Harrier Squadron their ground crew invited us to a toga party (who knew???) they didn’t have enough tinnies in their iced garbage bins, they had to collect two more loads, great party though!
Cheers Joel
They look nothing like the UK's pancakes, they are more American than British. We normally have ours with lemon juice and sugar.
The UK's pancakes? Have you heard of Scotch pancakes?
@@jukingabout No, I just make pancakes the way my mother made them. And I have seen packet of pancakes that are similar to homemade. So what are scotch pancakes?
Scotch Pancakes are called drop scones in some parts of Britain. They did look like traditional Scotch Pancakes and as a child it was lemon and sugar but these days I would do butter or maple syrup
@@Jinty92 Thank you for your kind response. I never came across them until later in my life, and to me they are just thicker than the pancakes I had when a kid. Again thank you.
Joel did you go to a indian restaurant when you was in the. Uk i love them to more spicy the better with a pint or two off beer lol
he needs to experience the difference between Vindaloo, Madras and Phall curry! (with obligatory Cobra pint!)
@@niallrussell7184 yes definitely!!!!
I'm wondering if the 'cheeky' aspect of a 'cheeky Nando's' is due to going out in the UK being largely about drinking. Actually having food at some point in the evening seems like an interruption, yet everyone knows they have to do so, so they do 'cheekily.'
the term cheeky refers to a surprise act. so just spontaneously deciding to have a nando's, instead of planning it, is where the cheeky bit comes in.
Nandos is sooo overrated!!
Along with McDonald's, KFC, Burger King to name another few!...🤣😂🤣
Yes, it's terrible
I've never been to a Nandos
Nandos use to be great 20 years ago. It's gone downhil over time
They gave me food poisoning in London.
Old people tend to use imperial mostly for measuring and weighing. Young people prefer metric...for obvious reasons.
I use Miles and Km...cos I prefer Km, but speed limits and signs are miles
There was a local roundabout c.ose to where I live. They built a supermarket and changed the Junction to traffic lights. It takes 4 times longer to get through it (not a lot of supermarket traffic I could see when trying to get through the junction).
As a Brit i can honestly say that i have never even seen a Nandos. i guess i should get out more. Never been to a Greggs either.
I've never been to Nandos or Greggs either Mark mate. I've never considered that having "bragging rights" in the same way people who use the phrase "a cheeky Nandos" bore the arse off me.
Ha ha! Mixing up metric and imperial - so true! 😂 But a 5 ft fluorescent tube is so much easier to figure out than however the many millimetres! And funnily enough, the first time I ever heard mention of a 'cheeky Nando's' it was your fellow American Jimmy Osmond! Mind you he was in England when he said it 🤔
Nando's is based on the churrasqueira of Portugal (where I live). These barbeque-type restaurants can be found everywhere and specialise in chicken piri-piri.
The one in my town has been going for decades and I can eat half a chicken with fries and salad for €7. It's amazing.
Nando’s actually comes from South Africa, started in Johannesburg. Portuguese recipe and then crossed the pond over to the UK. Just a little fun fact 😉
That was really weird watching that, I almost said out loud BLUE BERRIES ON PANCAKES? IN THE BATTER? 😮, I had to look outside to make sure I was still in the UK 👀 😂
I know right ? I thought they were chocolate chips.... Then the horror and realisation kicked in 😮
Nando's opened its first restaurants within the United Kingdom, in 1992, in the west London suburbs of Ealing and Earls Court, initially focusing on takeaway food.
In Australia we have 151 Nandos stores and 178 Oporto stores (both are very similar).. but we don’t say cheeky Nandos 😂
I wasn't aware that we do either! I remain to be convinced by actual personal experience.
@@whattiler5102 haha ahh but it is in your advertising you cannot escape this one 😝
@@Dr_KAP I have never set foot inside one; nothing to do with me!

@@Dr_KAP If it's my choice of location for a group meal it is going to be well down the list. I have just had a close look at their menu online and that has definitely not changed anything.

Nando’s was great fun! Also, Peri-Peri is just awesome and is similar to some Indian spice mixes which is why we love it.
Every 2 years there's a major international football tournament in the summer which is just the sort of encouragement needed for Public Drunkeness.
FIFA WORLD CUP and the UEFA EUROPEAN CHAMPIONSHIPS commonly known as The Euros.
Nando's, originally founded in Johannesburg, South Africa in 1987, came to London in 1992 and Washington D.C. in 2008.
Nando's is originally from South Africa, and to me is the worst eating experience here in the Uk!
The cheeky Nandos thing, as far as I'm aware, doesn't apply every time you chose to go to Nandos.
Like if you wanted to go there for dinner, it would just be "Fancy a Nandos?". However, if you wanted to go there at an unusual time, say during lunch at work, or shortly after another meal, it would then be "Fancy a cheeky Nandos?".
Cheeky is used if someone is rude i.e. "You look like you've put on weight" - "Oi, cheeky sod" but in a more colloquial sense it's used as sort of a catch all for something "naughty".
I'm a 52 year-old Brit who drinks way too much...my liver is ok but the left leg shakes...when I was 18 my Irish mother had no problem in buying me a bottle of bourbon when she went to the supermarket on Friday...a bottle which I would neck in one evening...what kind of mother is that ? An Irish one...
I was watching a Veritasium video here on TH-cam about the metric system. It turns out that nowadays everyone in the US unknowingly uses the metric system because all weights and measures are now determined in relation to metric equivalents. A pound, for example, is now determined as the correct weight in relation to how many grams it is.
I dunno, as a chain that supposed to specialise in chicken, they always always over cook it. Lol… should be Nando’s is cheeky.
Cheeky Nandos should only ever be said ironically. The only time I've ever had one I used a gift voucher that I got from work and it gave me the shits real bad.
After a few drinks, you decide between a cheeky Nando's or a Dirty Burger (McD and Burger King). Either way, afterwards you feel dirty for having eaten them...
Brilliant video Joel, I'm so proud that you are becoming more British as time goes on. See you next year mate. Xx
Your profile picture looks like Brian May
Pancake Tuesday only happens once a year, not every Tuesday 🤣
I'm English and from the North and hadn't actually heard of Nandos. They look like Mexican tortillas. Fun facts: Our national dish is Tikka masala, which comes from India. The only two official languages in the UK are English and Welsh. More than 50% of all beer sales in the UK are Real Ale.
You're right, Joel, measuring distances by the divisions 12-3-1760 is so much easier than 10-10-10-10. Weights divided by 16-14-2-4-20 is obviously simpler than 10-10-10-10-10. 😂
I'm in the UK and in my 60's - I use metric exclusively except for road travel (changing all the road signs simultaneously was just too much trouble). I have a science/engineering background and metric is so much simpler than Imperial. Also note that what is used in the US isn't quite the same as what we used in the UK.
A bit of history... The "Metric Conversion Act of 1975" was signed into law by Gerald Ford and in 1991 George W. Bush issued an executive order to "take all appropriate measures within their authority" to use the metric system "as the preferred system of weights and measures for United States trade and commerce". That obviously went well!
Hiya Joel, I haven't been to Nando's in my life, I can't comment, this is Choppy in Whitehaven, Cumberland, England
Us Brits do love our bland food, but we don't shy from spices either. We have a palate that enjoys both. One day we may have bangers and mash and the next a Chicken Vindaloo. Its how we are built
Nandos... Thank you no way..........
cheeky (adj) > slightly rude or showing no respect, but often in a funny way:
She's got such a cheeky grin.
Don't be so cheeky!
But having a cheeky Nandos is about the behaviour of eating there , but describing Nandos itself
When I was a kid we used to go to jumble sales at school, church halls, anywhere with enough room. 🤣😂🤣😂
Those scotch pancakes looked nice and so did that traditional ones I caught a glimpse of. Golden Syrup or Canadian Maple Syrup on pancakes is heaven. 🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤

The funniest ugh! Drunk I have seen, is a Chap fell into the gutter spilling his fish and chips meal into the road, so he lays there eating his meal off the road. The old imperial measures are easier, you know what your getting, like an inch = a bent thumb, a foot=speaks for itself, a yard - an arms length. I/2 pint 1 cup full. 4 apples to a pound (lb), 2lb sugar and potatoes= heavy😁. Pancakes fill the whole pan, small what are called pancakes are drop scones.
Drop scones are Scotch Pancakes to us. Asda sells them by the barrowload here.
@@Jinty92 ….yes, also know them as Scotch pancakes. Just cannot beat the proper pancaked, rolled in a bit of sugar and a squirt of lemon juice.
As someone a bit older I mix metric and imperial. So something could be 20cm long by 6 foot wide. 🤣🤣
Incorrect pancakes tut tut. (Sorry didn't know telegraph).
I’ve literally never heard anyone say “cheeky Nando’s”. Cheeky pint, definitely.
Yep, same here! Cheeky pint, yes but not nandos! Bizarre really, being British and getting taught something British by an American 🤣😂🤣🤪
I think it might be an age and location thing. I’ve heard it quite a bit from younger millennials and gen z.
I work with a bloke who says it and then guffaws loudly. I had no idea it was a thing though.
I can't understand why so many people are worried about the metric system. I am an Australian. We used pounds, shillings and pence until February, 1966 when we changed to decimal currency. So much simpler to deal with decimal currency! In 1976 we changed from Imperial weights and measures to the metric system. I managed to live through both changes. Metric weights and measures is so much more simple. Who ever came up with the Imperial system was smoking something they should not have been.
Metric system fully embraced in Australia, you can still buy a "pint" in pubs but its a metric equivalent.
Our pancakes are basically crêpes. I’ve never had an American pancake.
It's SO popular to make fun of roundabouts. But what about 'STOP' signs? They never change to 'GO' so what good are they?
Or red lights that you can drive through 😂
Pancakes are quite different in the UK compared to the US, in America they are more like a thin sponge cake cooked in a frying pan, like those in the video, where as British pancakes cooked in their millions on Shrove Tuesday {pancake day} are very much like the continental "crepe" thin and covered with a filling {most traditional is sugar and lemon juice} and rolled up!
