One thing to really keep in mind when it comes to these US versus other country videos is that the US is very, very big and diverse. What is normal from someone who is probably from Generation z or Alpha is not going to be the same for everyone else across the gen or states. Where I come from, we had carpet in our bathrooms well into the 90s and started pulling them out about that time frame. Most places didn't actually have tile in the bathroom, that was a higher-end luxury thing for the price and also in the Midwest very cold to walk on, so we would use linoleum as a cheap alt. Tons of places where I live have pre-made sandwiches and meals! Just like that, you can go to the store or deli and they have pre-made stuff. Gas stations even and yes, we also have hot dogs, pizzas and other stuff too there! The USA does really focus a lot on the weather, some gen more the others, but we do very much use it as a conversation starter! She seems like she comes from a very well established family, probably health-oriented because the frosting was always something that kids ate where I'm from and as we got older we take it off because it's too sweet. But as a child we loved it, we eat frosting out of a can. LOL These are just few of the examples that I can think of right at the top of my head to show how very different we can be in the US and very much the same for some countries. We're just a huge melting Pot and some things do stay with going through generations generations. I would use "pop over" as a past or present tense and "swing by" as a future or present tense depending on how the sentence works.
I think both of these come from the more well-to-do end of the populace...literally nobody I know has heated flooring at home, and Lauren says it like it's as common as windows.
Yeah, like I love eating all the frosting while one particular family friend (born in '48) is always checking the weather on her phone and talking about how it's windy, or gonna rain, etc. I'm so happy I haven't run into any carpets in the bathrooms though. Also, I definitely see all the sandwiches at gas stations, especially in the mid-west. The stations there definitely seem more accommodating than some of the ones here on the west-coast or south-west, though even then I see them. I don't remember if I saw as many on the east-coast. I do remember having to use a wardrobe for the first time there, something else that was mentioned in one of these videos as being "British."
Thank you! Represent!!! Im a millennial from Florida and I've traveled all over the US. Everything you said is correct. This girl hasn't really gotten out much in the US or she just doesn't pay attention to her surroundings.
The one who made the subtitles is not a native speaker of English for sure! It's the first time I see someone writes "falafel and hummus wrap" like this: "flaffle and rap"!
MA MA I thought the subtitles were auto done meaning that there is like a technology similar to Siri which listens to the speakers and the audio and it just mimics what it thinks it is kind of like when we do audio text.
It does but it means something else. The phrase is, "Well go on then!" and it's used when an idiot insists they are right when in reality they are wrong so you tell them to go on then so they can totally screw up and learn, hopefully, to listen to those who know what is going on.
Not necessarily, most of the coast doesn’t get snow. San Francisco is definitely not SoCal and they don’t get snow. Snow is pretty much relegated to the foothills and mountains.
Even though im not from these two countries but GB andUS flag being together makes me feel proud i dont know why i guess because those are my favorites love brits and americans from iran 🇺🇸♥🇮🇷♥🇬🇧
In Buenos Aires, Argentina, We also started conversations with the weather. I live in a city on the coast, it rains and is cold almost all year round. In addition to mate, which we drink during the day, we think that a good tea before bed is beneficial to make us feel better.
We have pre packaged pasta like cheese and tomato or spicy chicken and also have wraps like a Korean version too now. We get limited editions types too. Althought that is the main but the snack has even more variety.
I’m American and I commonly hear people say they are going to pop in or pop by as in a quick visit. Prepared sandwiches are common here too. They are often sold at convenience stores, gas stations, airports and supermarket delis. We also have rounds in bars. When I lived in California I didn’t pay much attention to weather but when I moved to a hurricane zone, I pay more attention. P. S. i really like this UK lady. She is a sweetie.
In America, if you aren't affluent enough to have heated bathroom floors then you might have a nonskid bathroom throw rug on it ( like a bath mat)which you wash in the machine once a week.
My grandmother was British living in the US (war bride). We have a family home in Suffolk. My aunt went over to check everything out in the early 70’s. She took very luxurious American (very hot, very deep bubble) baths. My great aunts almost had a heart attack. They had become so used to rationing hot water during the war that they still bathed in 5 inches of water. The story was told to the whole village that she had become far too Americanized 😂.
I did not think some of the things were weird that the British do. I also think the American in this video seems a bit sheltered. I have seen bathrooms in the US with carpet and people here will start conversations with the weather. Some people here will offer someone tea as a pick me up. There are also a lot of women who drink beer and plenty of people will buy a round of beer. She seemed shocked about premade sandwiches? They sell those at most grocery stores.
I wouldn't say she's sheltered.... I'm American & I think bathrooms with carpet are weird. The others mostly depend on the group of ppl you hang out with/the environment you grew up in specifically
@@crystalgl0w I can find no fault in what you are saying will even agree with you. Maybe its that I am older and have maybe seen more things like you said people I have been around and where I grew up.
...what state do you live in? My grocery stores don't have premade sandwiches. I've literally never seen them in any grocery store I've been to. The gas stations sometimes have them, but they're crazy expensive so I never buy them.
@@emmasilver2332 I live in Washington State and have seen them in both Fred Meyer which is Kroger in some areas and also in Safeway usually in the deli.
I’ll spare you the whole recitation on Thanksgiving meals. However here in the (northern) states, the best nutrition for someone who is sick, is a soup stock. The meat & bones are cooked for days over very low heat. The stock is very nutritious because it has all the good stuff in the broth. No matter how sick someone is, well, they can always slurp up some broth. I have always made stock for just such a purpose.
Just a suggestion for this channel, instead of hard subtitles, you can use the 'cc' function of TH-cam, so whenever there are some misheard words while subbing you can just change and edit it when you realized that you've had mistakes in the subtitles. In 2:33 for example it subbed as 'care' but she said 'cures', and a there's more... Can't blame the subber bcs it was so sounds alike tho:) that's why I said those⬆️.
We still use umbrellas a lot in the UK, especially since you can get drenched if its heavy. But more people prefer coats with hoods because carrying an umbrella around is not always most convenient.
MegaMiaow...And don't forget strong winds, which we've had a lot of this year. Fighting to hold an umbrella upright while being blasted by rain and wind is a non-starter.
We actually have premade sandwiches sold in the US. I see them often, if not, more than hamburgers from what Ally mentioned. She probably isn't exposed much.
Premade sandwiches, hamburgers and wraps are available at many gas stations. The larger the gas station the larger the selection which can include hot foods such as pizza, potato wedges and hot dogs and cold foods such as cut fruits, hardboiled eggs and yogurt.
It depends where you live in the US tho. I have noticed that CA homes have tile floors, but here on the east coast most houses have either hardwood floors or carpet, sometimes both and then tile for the kitchen. It rains a lot on the east coast too. I was surprised that some people have tvs in their backyard in CA lol
I mean you could have hardwood in your bathroom but that doesn't seem like it would be good with all the water. High chance of warping, water damage, and mold.
Also, I get the feeling: When Americans go overseas, all their friends want to hear is how awesome it is and how much you're getting into the spirit of it. The impression I get is that when Brits go overseas, all their British friends want to hear about is how much they spent the whole time thinking about shepherd's pie.
I’m from the Pacific Northwest in the US and we’re pretty obsessive about weather here as well. I check the forecast almost every day but especially late Feb - early April because we can literally have snow one day and 60 degrees the next. Several clothing layers are our friends. It rains a lot here but it also often gets pretty windy, making umbrellas kind of pointless. All of my rain-suitable coats have hoods and my shoes and bags are waterproofed. Pre-made sandwiches are definitely a thing in the supermarket deli section, and we use “pop in/up” and “run in/up” interchangeably.
I'm not surprised the US and the UK are similar in some ways since the US was a british colony. I'm American but I grew up watching British channels and drinking tea instead of coffee. I knew we initially threw tea into a harbor to say f you but the stuff truly does cure everything. Tea before bed to help sleep, tea in the morning to wake up, and tea to help calm when frustrated, tired or anxious.
Could you do one where you compare British culture with that of the American South? I feel like there are some interesting similarities. In the South, we check the weather daily as it constantly changes, and we keep raincoats and umbrellas everywhere (car, home, office) in case the weather sneaks up on us. Sandwich shops are not unusual - in fact very common, also common to have premade sandwiches in the grocery store. And referencing some of your other videos - My grandmother used to say, "Oh, go on!" if you said something outlandish or she was trying to be humble when you complimented her. We say, "I'll pop by for a quick hello." Sometimes you may hear (though mostly from an older generation), "Don't you give me that cheek!" when addressing a sassy child. "Ugly mug" is also not uncommon. And we drink tea all the day long. "Would you like a glass of tea?" is the first thing you ask a visitor to your house. Anyway, I'm sure there are many others. It'd be interesting to see how many.
This has to be one of the weirdest videos I have seen... a video claiming that sandwiches are weird, that local phrases are weird. Someone who doesn't carry an umbrella when it rains, then concludes no-one else does, despite the fact others do is weird.
Is it just me or does the American have a weird accent! I’ve lived in California and never heard that accent. And we totally have premade sandwiches at gas stations and convenience stores!
if I had to guess maybe her accent has changed a bit since living abroad... the same thing happened to me when I moved abroad and hung out frequently with english speakers from other countries. then when I moved back home my accent went back to normal. we're just influenced by who we are with I guess 🤷♀️
I agree that the US has pre-made sandwiches, but I think they're much more popular in the UK. Here in the US, they're seen more as a "desperation meal" - or a meal of last resort. In the UK, they're seen more as a regular, decent quality meal to get on the go from a variety of locations.
Interestingly, the 'carpet in the bathroom' thing was quite a short-lived episode. Back in my childhood, 1950-1960, houses rarely had carpet throughout. It was more likely to be linoleum (lino) with rugs in the more 'comfortable' areas such as in front of the coal fire in the living room. A bathroom mat might also be found but it was literally just a mat by the side of the bath. Beds too often had a small mat at the bedside. Everywhere else was lino or even bare boards. It was only after about 1970 that fitted carpets became affordable and popular. Even then the bathroom was not generally served. I would guess carpeting in the .smallest room came in during the 80 and faded out gradually after 2000. Not wearing shoes indoors followed a similar pattern. It really has more to do with the advent of carpeting throughout.
I love my American, she's adorable, and she makes alot sense, but I'm from an ENTIRELY different area....I'm Midwestern, somes of her responses and her general sound are different to me. The British girl in that Smiths shirt though ♥️
Hello please can you do a video about saying people's name in various accents(esp. European and American? Trust me! It would be very fun to watch. The names i suggest are David, Daniel, Marie, Thomas, etc PS: I commented this several times but its never seen by the channel.
Nice video! I think the best comparison for "oh go on then" is to be like "oh, you talked me into it". As an American, I kind of get the impression that "oh, go on then" means you were kind of hoping to be talked into it in the first place, like you were hoping to be coerced a little to feel less bad about dropping a small low-stakes obligation (like chores or studying or something).
London actually gets less rainfall in many years than Melbourne, Tel Aviv, Rome, Mexico City etc, being in a chalk valley that's the driest part of the country. Significantly less than Paris and half of NYC. It is however cloudy and overcast much of the time. In the drought years of the 1990s, it could conceivably have been classed as semi-arid.
There are many places with a reputation for being rainy because it is often drizzling and they get considerably less rain than areas thought of as dry. Redding, California gets as much or more rain than Seattle only it comes in 4 months instead of all year.
@@annarae2396 Yep, the thing is in London it isn't drizzly either, it just rarely rains at all and only for short, mediocre bursts (though this year has been totally off, first time London flooded in a century). In London however it'sovercast most of the time, the sun is a thing children run away from and you get UFO reports flooding in
Actually, it's same in Russia with this tea thing. Feeling sad? Get some tea. Feeling good? Get some tea. Basically, tea always is a must and it does miracles and cures everything. :D Drinking tea is a huge tradition over here. I think, we drink tea more than water.
Not surprising when you have those massive Samovars for tea. I feel like we need those over here in the UK given how much tea people get through in a day.
American asks a British how is the weather? British responds: Our weather is the worst lol. American: wow so you have regular huge tornadoes and massive earth quakes? British person: ok, well.. if you put it that way...
@@jolenehoneycutt2973 It's the same as in the video. It's just something stupid that nearly everybody in the same generation happen to do. Other example is the price of a cup of coffee
Its usually too windy when it rains heavily in england to use an umbrella, or the weather is so inconsistent the umbrella is useless and in the way half the time your carrying it
Just to correct a translation error: It's "A cup of tea will solve any issue you're having", not "A cup of tea with salt you're having". We don't put salt in tea :) And the response was talking about the idea that a cup of tea CURES situations. Also, the English girl is confusing - a black tea with milk makes no sense; a black tea is a tea without milk. There are a few translation errors but I can't be bothered correcting all :)
I’m American and in my family Including me we Always hates it When people forget to takeoff their shoes in our house Because my family is pretty Neet so we don’t like getting our carpets dirty or are wood floor muddy i’m pretty sure, everyone can understand that and also who the heck would put carpet in their bathroom? that’s so gross.😕😟😵😵💫🤢
When I was living in Japan I NEED to check the weather daily because you would need to use trains and walk a lot, and when it rains it pours so you really need an umbrella. Then when I lived in the UK the rain is always the small droplets type and your jacket and hoodie is usually enough for the short walk home or until you get to the bus stop. So yeah the Brits don’t really use umbrellas, but the type of rain they get there accommodates for that
Need to bring a roadman on to compare language differences ; I'm currently watching Top Boy, and the slang is fascinating. Likkle, wagwan, wasteman, innit, etc.
Just wanted to ask, did the captions mean 'frosting' instead of 'flag stick' at 3:40? I tend to read the captions bc it's easier for me to understand, so- that was a bit confusing (also the Korean captions also said 'flag stick' so I wasn't sure)
I wonder if the American lady is an immigrant to the US or has a foreign parent. Sometimes people with immigrant parents will have their accent somewhat. As someone who spent her childhood in California, her accent sounds slightly foreign to me. For example at the end listen to how she says “shocked”. Definitely not a Cali pronunciation.
Some of these explanations are so incorrect. For example the carpet in the bathroom issue. Nobody but nobody ever thought of putting carpet in their bathroom until around the 1970s when fluffy bathroom items (in sets) became popular in the Shops. The carpetting item was completely washable, just as the toilet-lid cover, entire toilet tank cover were totally washable. They were seldom made of true carpetting, but lighter raised fabrics.
I’ve seen bathrooms with carpets here in the US but it’s usually older bathrooms owned by older people. I saw it more when I was younger not so much now
Actually I personnaly also check for the price of certain chocolate brands to see how the inflation is proceeding. Ritter Sport used to be like under 50cents now it's 1-2€uros.
Maybe I'm showing my age but I'm English and have never heard of Colin the caterpillar or Freddos. I've certainly never used Freddos to base the economic state on even though "everybody knows it."
I agree. Never seen Freddos, apart from on programmes like this - the ones that everyone knows are Cadbury's milk bar and things like that (even if you don't like them, you know them.)I'm familiar with Colin, but never thought of it as 'a thing'. I'm on board with the tea and weather obsession though.
Porcelain is a bit of a "cold sink" and the bathtubs usually are iron with the porcelain coating and that stuff draws heat from the room, so some carpet at the tub and sink , yes.
The thing about America, is no one American can speak for all of America because the "culture" in every state is so different. For example, of course a Californian isn't going to check the weather. The weather doesn't change unexpectedly as much there. In the Pacific Northwest people here actually are a little weather obsessed because our weather can change drastically day to day or even in a 24 hour period. In Western Washington State, we also don't always use umbrellas. Partly because we are just so use to unexpected rain we don't care. Partly because it is often windy when in rains so your umbrella is a bit useless 😆 I don't know, I'm just saying i feel like depending on the age and hometown of the American you are talking to some of these British things wouldn't be as weird to them as they are to someone from Cali.
Yes, the US is so huge. I think it's similar everywhere, though. Some people in London might use an umbrella, but there are many areas where you couldn't, because it's too windy. I think things a certain county are meant to do, are always only going to apply to a few people. I've never heard of Freddos, my mother would never have bought a caterpillar cake for us, and carpeted bathrooms haven't been around since the 1980s. She's bang on the money with the weather and the tea, though. I think regardless of age, upbringing, region etc everyone talks/plans according to the weather, and most people drink tea, or regard it as a common custom, even if they don't drink it themselves.
I don't actually think it is like that for all countries, Jamie. I think in a lot of countries the climate is relatively the same throughout. The US is 40 times the size of the UK. We literally have 11 states in total that are bigger than the UK. California alone is the size of the Netherlands, Belgium, Slovenia, Switzerland, Austria, Luxembourg, Kosovo and Czech Republic combined. The "culture" and climate in just one state can be as varied as it is in some countries.
You’ll find prepackaged sandwiches and other prepackaged things at pretty much any grocery store or supermarket. Wawa has them too but not sure about other gas stations.
Seeing the subtitles get multiple words completely wrong alongside horrible grammar in English is hilariously ironic. I can't help but wonder if there are similar widespread errors in the Korean subtitles?
Not sure about the pre-packing sandwich answer for the US. They are very common in gas stations/convienance store and deli sections of grocery stores. The way Lauren described it in the UK made me think it might be more varied (more options) than we get in the US as it often is a handful of options but still you can find pre-packaged sandwiches pretty easily. Also, in many areas of the US weather is a major topic of conversation. I grew up in Wisconsin (winter weather), lived in Oregon (lots of rain and overcast, very "British-y"), and now in Oklahoma (severe weather/tornadoes) and the weather is a very comon conversation starter and it is pretty common for most people to know the forecast. I could see people in southern California not feeling the need to check the weather as often, though.
Nice video, but some differences are not USA vs England, but between two different climate regions. Is the same between South Spain and Germany for cold drinks, not necesary bringing an umbrella when it rains, for wearing shoes in the house.... It all make sense if you think on the weather and how wet or dirty you get. In Andalucia rains less than in Germany, but wenn it rains, it pours! You are nothing without an Umbrella, while in Germany is constantly raining, but very often is light rain. It would be nice to hear from differences within similar latitude band.
People who went to Eton public school never furl the umbrella traditionally ,you can spot them easily especially around the city (financial) area of London and surrounding tube stations
It's quite funny, I'm American and everyone I know don't wear they shoes inside, when I watched this video, I actually got confused because I never knew that people would do that in my country so I was quite confused but like it was funny, I was laughing for quite a while.
I like Lauren, she can talk about English culture very clearly and it's easy to understand.
Not many of us can.
She got a lot of it wrong, and she's supposed to represent British culture, but only talks about English culture. Her knowledge is extremely limited.

It's cute when you all say it but it would sound rude in my accent 😂
It does but it means something else. The phrase is, "Well go on then!" and it's used when an idiot insists they are right when in reality they are wrong so you tell them to go on then so they can totally screw up and learn, hopefully, to listen to those who know what is going on.
@@NotMykl yes! Exactly this.
I hear some people say "go on" without the well. Usually if someone is asking for trouble.
I think I've heard Americans use it like,
"Go on then! Get!"
In the context of telling people or pets to go away.
Ally must live in Southern California as she said there's no snow.
Not necessarily, most of the coast doesn’t get snow. San Francisco is definitely not SoCal and they don’t get snow. Snow is pretty much relegated to the foothills and mountains.
Or maybe she live in Florida Miami

In Buenos Aires, Argentina, We also started conversations with the weather. I live in a city on the coast, it rains and is cold almost all year round. In addition to mate, which we drink during the day, we think that a good tea before bed is beneficial to make us feel better.
The American girl is the quietest spoken girl I've ever heard. She looks like she really listens too.
I have seen pre-packaged sandwiches, such as chicken salad sandwiches and turkey sandwiches all over the US. 🤷🏻♀️
Me too
We have pre packaged pasta like cheese and tomato or spicy chicken and also have wraps like a Korean version too now. We get limited editions types too. Althought that is the main but the snack has even more variety.
Yeah, in literally every gas station convenience store. Especially in the mid-west.

Sheetz, Wawa and gas stations all have premade sandwiches
I’m American and I commonly hear people say they are going to pop in or pop by as in a quick visit. Prepared sandwiches are common here too. They are often sold at convenience stores, gas stations, airports and supermarket delis.
We also have rounds in bars. When I lived in California I didn’t pay much attention to weather but when I moved to a hurricane zone, I pay more attention.
P. S. i really like this UK lady. She is a sweetie.
Here in Chile we also have a cup of tea for any bad situation. Tea is awesome
In America, if you aren't affluent enough to have heated bathroom floors then you might have a nonskid bathroom throw rug on it ( like a bath mat)which you wash in the machine once a week.
In Australia we are also obsessed about the weather.
My grandmother was British living in the US (war bride). We have a family home in Suffolk. My aunt went over to check everything out in the early 70’s. She took very luxurious American (very hot, very deep bubble) baths. My great aunts almost had a heart attack. They had become so used to rationing hot water during the war that they still bathed in 5 inches of water. The story was told to the whole village that she had become far too Americanized 😂.
I did not think some of the things were weird that the British do. I also think the American in this video seems a bit sheltered. I have seen bathrooms in the US with carpet and people here will start conversations with the weather. Some people here will offer someone tea as a pick me up. There are also a lot of women who drink beer and plenty of people will buy a round of beer. She seemed shocked about premade sandwiches? They sell those at most grocery stores.
Maybe not sheltered, but maybe not well-traveled around the U.S. She's from California, which is roughly the same size as the U.K.
I wouldn't say she's sheltered.... I'm American & I think bathrooms with carpet are weird. The others mostly depend on the group of ppl you hang out with/the environment you grew up in specifically
@@crystalgl0w I can find no fault in what you are saying will even agree with you. Maybe its that I am older and have maybe seen more things like you said people I have been around and where I grew up.
...what state do you live in? My grocery stores don't have premade sandwiches. I've literally never seen them in any grocery store I've been to. The gas stations sometimes have them, but they're crazy expensive so I never buy them.
@@emmasilver2332 I live in Washington State and have seen them in both Fred Meyer which is Kroger in some areas and also in Safeway usually in the deli.
I’ll spare you the whole recitation on Thanksgiving meals. However here in the (northern) states, the best nutrition for someone who is sick, is a soup stock. The meat & bones are cooked for days over very low heat. The stock is very nutritious because it has all the good stuff in the broth. No matter how sick someone is, well, they can always slurp up some broth. I have always made stock for just such a purpose.
Just a suggestion for this channel, instead of hard subtitles, you can use the 'cc' function of TH-cam, so whenever there are some misheard words while subbing you can just change and edit it when you realized that you've had mistakes in the subtitles. In 2:33 for example it subbed as 'care' but she said 'cures', and a there's more...
Can't blame the subber bcs it was so sounds alike tho:) that's why I said those⬆️.
Yea I'm pretty sure she said frosting not flag stick on the cupcakes 🤣
And the spelling is frequently very wrong!
'cup of tea will solve any problem you're having' was written as 'cup of tea with salt you're having' lmfao

We still use umbrellas a lot in the UK, especially since you can get drenched if its heavy. But more people prefer coats with hoods because carrying an umbrella around is not always most convenient.
MegaMiaow...And don't forget strong winds, which we've had a lot of this year. Fighting to hold an umbrella upright while being blasted by rain and wind is a non-starter.
You also forget them.

@@2eleven48 That's how I feel in the American midwest. If it's raining here, it's also windy. So umbrellas are pretty unreliable.
We actually have premade sandwiches sold in the US. I see them often, if not, more than hamburgers from what Ally mentioned. She probably isn't exposed much.

@Kevin Sullivan real americans are native americans :)
Premade sandwiches, hamburgers and wraps are available at many gas stations. The larger the gas station the larger the selection which can include hot foods such as pizza, potato wedges and hot dogs and cold foods such as cut fruits, hardboiled eggs and yogurt.

3:48 Lauren says "This is like more of our tradition compared to like... frosting?" And the caption says "This is more old traditional pancake style."
It depends where you live in the US tho. I have noticed that CA homes have tile floors, but here on the east coast most houses have either hardwood floors or carpet, sometimes both and then tile for the kitchen. It rains a lot on the east coast too. I was surprised that some people have tvs in their backyard in CA lol
I this she was talking abt the bathroom carpet specifically
I mean you could have hardwood in your bathroom but that doesn't seem like it would be good with all the water. High chance of warping, water damage, and mold.
I've mostly seen tile, but throw rugs are common and easy to replace when needed.
Also, I get the feeling: When Americans go overseas, all their friends want to hear is how awesome it is and how much you're getting into the spirit of it. The impression I get is that when Brits go overseas, all their British friends want to hear about is how much they spent the whole time thinking about shepherd's pie.

I’m from the Pacific Northwest in the US and we’re pretty obsessive about weather here as well. I check the forecast almost every day but especially late Feb - early April because we can literally have snow one day and 60 degrees the next. Several clothing layers are our friends. It rains a lot here but it also often gets pretty windy, making umbrellas kind of pointless. All of my rain-suitable coats have hoods and my shoes and bags are waterproofed.
Pre-made sandwiches are definitely a thing in the supermarket deli section, and we use “pop in/up” and “run in/up” interchangeably.
I'm not surprised the US and the UK are similar in some ways since the US was a british colony. I'm American but I grew up watching British channels and drinking tea instead of coffee. I knew we initially threw tea into a harbor to say f you but the stuff truly does cure everything. Tea before bed to help sleep, tea in the morning to wake up, and tea to help calm when frustrated, tired or anxious.
Could you do one where you compare British culture with that of the American South? I feel like there are some interesting similarities. In the South, we check the weather daily as it constantly changes, and we keep raincoats and umbrellas everywhere (car, home, office) in case the weather sneaks up on us. Sandwich shops are not unusual - in fact very common, also common to have premade sandwiches in the grocery store. And referencing some of your other videos - My grandmother used to say, "Oh, go on!" if you said something outlandish or she was trying to be humble when you complimented her. We say, "I'll pop by for a quick hello." Sometimes you may hear (though mostly from an older generation), "Don't you give me that cheek!" when addressing a sassy child. "Ugly mug" is also not uncommon. And we drink tea all the day long. "Would you like a glass of tea?" is the first thing you ask a visitor to your house. Anyway, I'm sure there are many others. It'd be interesting to see how many.
I’m American and I have tea, tea solves everything sad occasion happy occasion have a cup of tea
The Tesco meal deal hits different
especially on clubcard price
This has to be one of the weirdest videos I have seen... a video claiming that sandwiches are weird, that local phrases are weird. Someone who doesn't carry an umbrella when it rains, then concludes no-one else does, despite the fact others do is weird.
Is it just me or does the American have a weird accent! I’ve lived in California and never heard that accent. And we totally have premade sandwiches at gas stations and convenience stores!
if I had to guess maybe her accent has changed a bit since living abroad... the same thing happened to me when I moved abroad and hung out frequently with english speakers from other countries. then when I moved back home my accent went back to normal. we're just influenced by who we are with I guess 🤷♀️
She sounds a bit Icelandic to me. Scandanavia maybe.
I agree that the US has pre-made sandwiches, but I think they're much more popular in the UK. Here in the US, they're seen more as a "desperation meal" - or a meal of last resort. In the UK, they're seen more as a regular, decent quality meal to get on the go from a variety of locations.
Gas is not petrol or diesel it’s a “gas”
I hear an American accent, but it sounds more plain like Pennsylvania or Maryland.

Interestingly, the 'carpet in the bathroom' thing was quite a short-lived episode. Back in my childhood, 1950-1960, houses rarely had carpet throughout. It was more likely to be linoleum (lino) with rugs in the more 'comfortable' areas such as in front of the coal fire in the living room. A bathroom mat might also be found but it was literally just a mat by the side of the bath. Beds too often had a small mat at the bedside. Everywhere else was lino or even bare boards.
It was only after about 1970 that fitted carpets became affordable and popular. Even then the bathroom was not generally served. I would guess carpeting in the .smallest room came in during the 80 and faded out gradually after 2000.
Not wearing shoes indoors followed a similar pattern. It really has more to do with the advent of carpeting throughout.
I love my American, she's adorable, and she makes alot sense, but I'm from an ENTIRELY different area....I'm Midwestern, somes of her responses and her general sound are different to me. The British girl in that Smiths shirt though ♥️

PS: I commented this several times but its never seen by the channel.
that is so sad..
Ya, that would be
Nice video! I think the best comparison for "oh go on then" is to be like "oh, you talked me into it".
As an American, I kind of get the impression that "oh, go on then" means you were kind of hoping to be talked into it in the first place, like you were hoping to be coerced a little to feel less bad about dropping a small low-stakes obligation (like chores or studying or something).
London actually gets less rainfall in many years than Melbourne, Tel Aviv, Rome, Mexico City etc, being in a chalk valley that's the driest part of the country. Significantly less than Paris and half of NYC. It is however cloudy and overcast much of the time. In the drought years of the 1990s, it could conceivably have been classed as semi-arid.
There are many places with a reputation for being rainy because it is often drizzling and they get considerably less rain than areas thought of as dry.
Redding, California gets as much or more rain than Seattle only it comes in 4 months instead of all year.
@@annarae2396 Yep, the thing is in London it isn't drizzly either, it just rarely rains at all and only for short, mediocre bursts (though this year has been totally off, first time London flooded in a century). In London however it'sovercast most of the time, the sun is a thing children run away from and you get UFO reports flooding in
Actually, it's same in Russia with this tea thing. Feeling sad? Get some tea. Feeling good? Get some tea. Basically, tea always is a must and it does miracles and cures everything. :D Drinking tea is a huge tradition over here. I think, we drink tea more than water.
Not surprising when you have those massive Samovars for tea. I feel like we need those over here in the UK given how much tea people get through in a day.

American asks a British how is the weather?

Its usually too windy when it rains heavily in england to use an umbrella, or the weather is so inconsistent the umbrella is useless and in the way half the time your carrying it
I find myself watching the horribly translated captions more than paying attention to the conversation
Just to correct a translation error: It's "A cup of tea will solve any issue you're having", not "A cup of tea with salt you're having". We don't put salt in tea :) And the response was talking about the idea that a cup of tea CURES situations. Also, the English girl is confusing - a black tea with milk makes no sense; a black tea is a tea without milk. There are a few translation errors but I can't be bothered correcting all :)
I think by "black" tea she means proper tea, not one of those weird fruit/spice concoctions which taste like boiled perfume.
I’m American and in my family Including me we Always hates it When people forget to takeoff their shoes in our house Because my family is pretty Neet so we don’t like getting our carpets dirty or are wood floor muddy i’m pretty sure, everyone can understand that and also who the heck would put carpet in their bathroom? that’s so gross.😕😟😵😵💫🤢

When I was living in Japan I NEED to check the weather daily because you would need to use trains and walk a lot, and when it rains it pours so you really need an umbrella.
Then when I lived in the UK the rain is always the small droplets type and your jacket and hoodie is usually enough for the short walk home or until you get to the bus stop.
So yeah the Brits don’t really use umbrellas, but the type of rain they get there accommodates for that

Just wanted to ask, did the captions mean 'frosting' instead of 'flag stick' at 3:40? I tend to read the captions bc it's easier for me to understand, so- that was a bit confusing (also the Korean captions also said 'flag stick' so I wasn't sure)
In the 70s carpet in the bathroom was a thing in the U.S.
I wonder if the American lady is an immigrant to the US or has a foreign parent. Sometimes people with immigrant parents will have their accent somewhat. As someone who spent her childhood in California, her accent sounds slightly foreign to me. For example at the end listen to how she says “shocked”. Definitely not a Cali pronunciation.
You know?? In indonesia we drink tea to cure any bad situation too 🤣
The outro of this video is so good and catchy to heard. Please don't ever to think to change the outro. Ever!
I swear the subtitles are normally more accurate than this 😂
Some of these explanations are so incorrect. For example the carpet in the bathroom issue. Nobody but nobody ever thought of putting carpet in their bathroom until around the 1970s when fluffy bathroom items (in sets) became popular in the Shops. The carpetting item was completely washable, just as the toilet-lid cover, entire toilet tank cover were totally washable. They were seldom made of true carpetting, but lighter raised fabrics.
They are talking about broadloom carpet. It was permanently installed.
I’ve been in many bathrooms (of older homes) that have full carpeting. Here, in the US
Nobody wears shoes indoors here in Hawaii.
Me to I always look at my phone for weather. Ankara is now so unpredictable and we sometimes get yellow alert.
In the 70’s, carpet in the bathroom was common in the US. I had one but it wasn’t tacked down so I threw it in the washer regularly.
2:25 "a cup of tea will salt you're having"
Lol
I’ve seen bathrooms with carpets here in the US but it’s usually older bathrooms owned by older people. I saw it more when I was younger not so much now
Trents come one go, in home decor as well as fashion, carpeting in bathrooms snd kitchens was popular in the 70’s.
Probably similar to the UK. It's not been a thing since the 1970s and 1980s. Only ever seen it in 1970s houses that haven't been done up.
Actually I personnaly also check for the price of certain chocolate brands to see how the inflation is proceeding. Ritter Sport used to be like under 50cents now it's 1-2€uros.
Maybe I'm showing my age but I'm English and have never heard of Colin the caterpillar or Freddos. I've certainly never used Freddos to base the economic state on even though "everybody knows it."
freddos is a chocolate bar in newsagent, Colin The Caterpilar is a cake made by Marks And Spencers
I agree. Never seen Freddos, apart from on programmes like this - the ones that everyone knows are Cadbury's milk bar and things like that (even if you don't like them, you know them.)I'm familiar with Colin, but never thought of it as 'a thing'. I'm on board with the tea and weather obsession though.

I saw the carpet in the bathroom thing in the U.S. My parents moved into an old place with that; it smelled.
5:17 ah yes I to like going to the pop
Porcelain is a bit of a "cold sink" and the bathtubs usually are iron with the porcelain coating and that stuff draws heat from the room, so some carpet at the tub and sink , yes.
The thing about America, is no one American can speak for all of America because the "culture" in every state is so different. For example, of course a Californian isn't going to check the weather. The weather doesn't change unexpectedly as much there. In the Pacific Northwest people here actually are a little weather obsessed because our weather can change drastically day to day or even in a 24 hour period.
In Western Washington State, we also don't always use umbrellas. Partly because we are just so use to unexpected rain we don't care. Partly because it is often windy when in rains so your umbrella is a bit useless 😆
I don't know, I'm just saying i feel like depending on the age and hometown of the American you are talking to some of these British things wouldn't be as weird to them as they are to someone from Cali.
True
That's the same thing for every country
Yes, the US is so huge. I think it's similar everywhere, though. Some people in London might use an umbrella, but there are many areas where you couldn't, because it's too windy. I think things a certain county are meant to do, are always only going to apply to a few people. I've never heard of Freddos, my mother would never have bought a caterpillar cake for us, and carpeted bathrooms haven't been around since the 1980s. She's bang on the money with the weather and the tea, though. I think regardless of age, upbringing, region etc everyone talks/plans according to the weather, and most people drink tea, or regard it as a common custom, even if they don't drink it themselves.
I don't actually think it is like that for all countries, Jamie. I think in a lot of countries the climate is relatively the same throughout. The US is 40 times the size of the UK. We literally have 11 states in total that are bigger than the UK. California alone is the size of the Netherlands, Belgium, Slovenia, Switzerland, Austria, Luxembourg, Kosovo and Czech Republic combined. The "culture" and climate in just one state can be as varied as it is in some countries.
You’ll find prepackaged sandwiches and other prepackaged things at pretty much any grocery store or supermarket. Wawa has them too but not sure about other gas stations.
I know people in the US that have carpet in the bathroom. It is not as common now but I grew up with carpet in the bathroom
I feel bad for whoever was writing the subtitles. They were clearly struggling with the accents, brands and slang
i disagree with the first thing my american sister said , my family takes off shoes before we go into the house and we have friends that do the same
Go on then ≠ I'm Game, go on then is used begrudgingly in a humourous way
Seeing the subtitles get multiple words completely wrong alongside horrible grammar in English is hilariously ironic. I can't help but wonder if there are similar widespread errors in the Korean subtitles?
2:26 read the subs. Tea with salt? What's your cigarettes' name? :)
Not sure about the pre-packing sandwich answer for the US. They are very common in gas stations/convienance store and deli sections of grocery stores. The way Lauren described it in the UK made me think it might be more varied (more options) than we get in the US as it often is a handful of options but still you can find pre-packaged sandwiches pretty easily. Also, in many areas of the US weather is a major topic of conversation. I grew up in Wisconsin (winter weather), lived in Oregon (lots of rain and overcast, very "British-y"), and now in Oklahoma (severe weather/tornadoes) and the weather is a very comon conversation starter and it is pretty common for most people to know the forecast. I could see people in southern California not feeling the need to check the weather as often, though.
Fuel stations* shops*
I can't get over the subtitles 😭😭
Nice video, but some differences are not USA vs England, but between two different climate regions. Is the same between South Spain and Germany for cold drinks, not necesary bringing an umbrella when it rains, for wearing shoes in the house....
It all make sense if you think on the weather and how wet or dirty you get. In Andalucia rains less than in Germany, but wenn it rains, it pours! You are nothing without an Umbrella, while in Germany is constantly raining, but very often is light rain.
It would be nice to hear from differences within similar latitude band.
People who went to Eton public school never furl the umbrella traditionally ,you can spot them easily especially around the city (financial) area of London and surrounding tube stations
It's quite funny, I'm American and everyone I know don't wear they shoes inside, when I watched this video, I actually got confused because I never knew that people would do that in my country so I was quite confused but like it was funny, I was laughing for quite a while.
