- As an American there are so many things about normal British life that I have no idea about. That is why I am excited today to learn about this list of unique things about British daily life from the point of view of someone who moved to Britain later in life.

We would find the term "Military Time" equally bizarre. We just call it the "24 hour clock".
Also, I'm pretty sure the vasy majority of brits prefer a 12 hour clcok
@BabyTommyDL Only if they can't tell the time 😂 all jokes aside, everyone I know uses 24 hour clock
@@BabyTommyDLwhen speaking yes, but I don’t know anyone who doesn’t use it on their phone and when writing emails and message I also switch to military time too as it’s just a lot easier to make plans with
@@BabyTommyDL in dialogue obviously, but we can do simple maths so we understand the 24 hour clock. Like, come on, how hard is it to subtract 12?
@@BabyTommyDL Analogue clocks and watches (like mine) may have a twelve-hour display, but (like it or not) the twenty-four-hour clock is unavoidable - bus and rail timetables, etc., and even your TV programme guide all work on it. Check the supermarket opening hours? Displayed in 24-hour format.
Sandwiches are a total part of daily life. In regards to tuna and sweetcorn being strange, I've always felt the whole peanut butter and jam sandwiches which seems a staple in the US is incredibly weird haha
And fried chicken for breakfast 😂 with waffles??
Agree about peanut butter and jam but I also hate tuna, so no tuna and sweetcorn for me
Absolutely, the first time i heard that they eat peanut butter and jelly … first it took me while to find out that their jelly is not our jelly, but instead, is really jam, and then to imagine that combo…. Ewww😂
@Maugirl2 even thought it sounds had I bad it on toast once and it actually weren't that bad 😂 dunno about a sandwich though
As a Brit I was brought up having jam sandwiches and still love them.
My parents taught me to LOOK BOTH WAYS when crossing the road.
exactly! The road safety videos we had as a kid with the hedgehog in them, taught us to look both ways. In fact we are often taught to look left, then right, then left again.
I grew up with the Green Cross Code, and the short information films featuring the Green Cross Code Man! th-cam.com/video/CLeK1LKZKiI/w-d-xo.html&feature=share7
@@AndrewJonesMcGuire And keep looking from side to side as you cross. You never know when an American will be driving on the wrong side.
Yes, it's not rocket science...
@@billspencer9430 Definitely haha..
Apple pie is not American.
The British was eating apple pie before America was discovered…..
You can have the apple pie. Just stay away from sticky toffee pudding, that’s ours 😂😉
Well said
The difference that they think make apple pie there's is adding the cinnamon to it making it a whole new pie in there eyes
But the sponge pudding and toffee sauce was made in Britain.
So technically it is British.
We got the idea of the apple pie from the middle east, way back in time.
Discovered? I thought America was invented 😅
You mentioned apple pie, that's British too 😅 not invented in the US
It’s not online American or British but in most countries that actually grow apples so a LOT of countries.
Tuna, sweetcorn and mayo are a staple in the UK. Great in sandwiches and with a jacket spud (baked potato)
I like a little grated raw onion as well
Yup, that is one of my favorites, I use salad cream though.
Horrible stuff, Tuna and Sweetcorn. I much prefer a BLT or Beans and grated cheese on a spud.
Ew no, maybe for you, but I can't stand the combo or tuna and corn, but I'm not a corn fan.
@Nite300 So do I but they don't have Salad Cream in the US because they're barbarians. 😉🤣
Most Europeans have no problem with the 24 hour clock. It's essential in using public transport, booking plane tickets, etc. I suppose if Americans don't travel except by car, they don't need it!
I am always surprised to hear that servers in US restaurants take your card away to process it. In the UK this would NEVER happen. For security reasons they bring a mobile card readr to the table (or you pay at the till) and at all times you are the only one who touches your card.
We don't call the 24 hour clock 'Military Time' because it is not something used specifically by the military. When I was at school it was still more usual to use am/pm times in the UK, but since the advent of the digital age it just makes NO sense to do this! Interestingly, we read and write in 24 hour time, but still say it in 12 hour time. For example, in the video he shows a phone saying 22.10. If asked what the time was, I'd read this out as 'ten past ten'.
Tuna and sweetcorn is a very popular sandwich filling, or a filling for a baked potato, or to eat with salad. It is usually mixed with mayonnaise. Try it!!!!
"The till" is another thing Americans don't understand, they call it the register or cash register.
Indeed. If an American "Server" tried to take my card away they'd get rugby tackled to the floor !
Generally we never have difficulty understanding the American accents because we hear it on TV so much.
I struggle to understand a lot of American accents, the TV Midwest accent is ok as we are regularly exposed to it.
Some American accents are hard for us to understand, others we have no problem with.
New Orleans cajun I might struggle to understand. Similar with inner city Bronx...
Your accent just sounds regular American to me however. Easy to understand but clearly American.
In terms of strong American accents that we notice but don't struggle to understand much Texan most be the most common. Unless you are using very southern slang we understand it fine
Well... I don't watch TV. I understand them perfectly because... well I speak English lol
The British use of 'Military Time' (24 hour clock) is quite weird. We will still say '4 o'clock in the afternoon' and would never say 'sixteen hundred hours' but a digital clock will still show 16:00. The calculation is automatic. It's like we write the 24 hour clock for accuracy but use the morning/afternoon designation for conversation.
I have just got some local bus timetables for helping a friend who's Philippino born and speaks reads fluent English as well as Tagalog and other dialects and they also don't mind the 24 hour clock. And they phone their relatives about at least 8 to 10 time zones ahead of GMT. Or in most of the UK we have to cope with +3 or - 3 GMT zones which is a matter of no difference when you're surfing the Web.
As for me I was in a continental shift job where logging times in 24 hour format had to be precise. And it became second nature.
The accents thing is something Im really wierdly proud of as a Brit. Not olnly do you have country accents i.e England,Scotland,Wales N. Ireland but then regional accents or county accents then town accents within those counties . Im 50 and my Grandad used to be able to tell accents apart from village to village a mile or 2 apart within those towns.
In the uk our plugs and sockets (Outlets) are a lot safer. The sockets have a little shutter that goes down so you can't stick anything in the live or neutral holes . The shutter goes up when the earth pin from the plug (which is slightly longer than the live and neutral pins) is plugged in. They are coated with plastic half way so there's no way you could accidentally touch them when they're half plugged in. The switch allows you to disconnect the appliance from the power without having to unplug the appliance each time.
Apple Pie isn’t American.
Scotch Eggs. They are hard boiled eggs wrapped in Sausage meat and bread crumbs, then it’s deep fried.
Mainly eaten cold.
Fun thing, the traffic flow trap is in fact, a thing. I am from the UK, but lived in the US for nearly 12 years - I've been back in the UK for years now, and I still catch myself being weirded out by traffic being on the "wrong side", or catch myself looking the wrong way when I cross the street. I have seen, more than once, American military personnel and their families, driving on the wrong side of the road, since my horse was kept at a livery yard not too far from a cluster of American airbases.
You've got a lot more than apple pie, and I'd even go as far as challenging the quote about apple pie being quintessentially American, and say that pumpkin pie is far more so. After all, we have apple pie throughout the UK and Europe.
Military time is logical, but I would say it's not as commonplace in the UK as that video suggests. Cellphones and other electronics default to military time, but I would say even then, the vast majority of people won't use it vocally, they do understand it, but don't really use it. You won't hear people saying "meet me at 1530" for example (except me, I've done it from time to time, but there's other factors in that habit for me).
Strange American foods... your hash browns aren't patties, your breakfast sausages are patties as often as links, country fried steak and chicken fried steak are confusing, but delicious, sausage gravy is white wtf?, and chocolate covered peanut butter is as weird to Brits as chococolate covered orange jelly is to Americans, but just as delicious.
Some American accents are more easy to understand than others. Those frequently encountered in movies, such as those found in New York and California, and the Chicago newsreader accent are pretty easy to understand, and for the most part Brits will understand Texan accents decently, but anything outside of that is a challenge. Moving from the UK to Pittsburgh, I was not only jumping into a strange accent I'd never heard before, but into a whole dialect (Pixburghese) that I'd never encountered before. I still throw in Pixburghese as part of my speech patterns without realizing, and have to backtrack in my sentences and translate.
Peckish isn't quite the same as hungry - it's a level of hunger where you might snack or graze, but you wouldn't eat a whole meal. For example, it's almost afternoon here, and I would say at this point I'm peckish - I'm anticipating lunch, but not yet hungry enough to eat lunch. If I had a bag of potato chips, I might go attack a bag of chips at this point, but I wouldn't go get a sandwich just yet.
Apple pie was taken to America by the settlers.
Military time really confused me until I realised he was taking the about 24 hour clock lol
Tyler has to be pretending not to know this stuff. Most of these British terms have been covered by him before, some many times. He never reads the comments. No doubt he'll never go to the UK and keep going on like this forever. 😂
Yeah😄 next video "what is this black pudding?" Marmite what's that? " 😄👌
He is a typical ignorant 'american' who ' reacts' to videos not by learning from them but by talking over them, asking Why? when they're already giving the answer or telling you what americans would or wouldn't do. IE- a Total Waste of Time. A TwoT.
Yes he knew about our plugs a while ago. He had a video on it I remember,, no Apple pie is British not American !!!
I m certain Tyler never reads the comments, he has covered a lot of this before, including mince pies and scotch eggs,
I di hope that one day, he's drop kicked into the UK, and we get our chance to point at him and laugh as realisation kicks in. talks the talk, but nothing on the walk the walk part.
Liverpool is about 35 miles from Manchester and the accents are completely different. Liverpool is about 40 to Wrexham in wales and again, totally different accents.
Most people in the uk will know where someone comes from by their accents
Accents change approximately every 15 miles! So Skelmersdale, Wigan, St Helens, Bolton etc have different accents to both Liverpool and Manchester.
and then the confusing buggers like myself who don't have a specific 'local' accent. worse: the louder I talk, the posher my voice gets.
even the drama school I went to said I'm lacking in a regional dialect. however, my dads sisters, two of which went to live in Australia, have accents so Aussie you'd swear they were born there. one other sister went to Scotland - and her accent is way more pronounced than her husbands - who was born there! my other aunt thinks she's posh, she isn't - she was last seen living on the south coast here - her husband is from Bristol and his accent is so apple cider and countryside, he's almost difficult to understand. however, one family meal a long time ago, sealed the deal on how he felt about the royal family, 'par-uz-oyts' 🤣
@@audiocoffee
That's exactly what happened to my accent. I'm from the south side of Peterborough so we traditionally have a "Norfolk-n-good" accent (kind of Norwichy) but we emigrated to Western Australia when I was 13. We came back in 1983 and I've lost nearly all my Aussie strine.
Our proper local "Stanground" accent was brought home to me when I heard my mates sister *Hayley speak one day and I'm like "DANNNG, THAT'S what I'm supposed to sound like" !!
*RIP Hayley, Such a lovely girl.
She made the (Fatal) mistake of believing a horsebox's indicator and pulled out. The driver forgot that it was on. 😭
Standard 12hr time is used when spoken ("four in the afternoon", "half two this morning") although usually with a qualifier, but most commonly the 24hr ("military" time) is used for written stuff. It isn't an absolute, this being the internet someone will be along to scream they always write in 12hr time but speak in 24hr time-I'm sure, but it is pretty common. Same with metric, it is most common (pause for internet screamer) to use metric for most things except pints of alcohol and miles for distances.
But seriously though, just look both ways before crossing the street. It is good practice, even if it is a nominally one way street.
Sure you've done a video specifically on plugs before. Our voltage is double yours...
In the UK and have been a pedestrian here for 4 decades. Driving for well over 20 years. When i went on holiday and walked or driven in the US or anywhere else in Europe, I have experienced zero issues with the difference, aside from a couple of times where i went to find the gearstick in my left-hand door!
Military time is Railway time, it comes from the start of the railway system in Britain and the need of different companies to co operate
Scotch eggs basically consists of a hard boiled egg which is wrapped in sausage meat covered in breadcrumbs. U can then deep fry or bake till it's crispy. I'm very fussy with food but scotch eggs are AMAZING!
It’s actually Tuna,Mayo and sweetcorn.
Small tin of tuna, a good squirts or spoon of Mayo, mix them up then ad tinned sweetcorn (approx the same ratio of tuna to sweetcorn)
Again, mix it together and fill a sandwich. If you like both tuna and sweetcorn, you’ll love them together… as an added bonus, you can also add finely chopped red onion. Just experiment. You might surprise yourself.
The best sandwich filling ever ♥️
Same ratio? That's too much sweetcorn!
Black pepper too
@@sallymclachlan357 ground back pepper too. It’s the law 😉
thanks for the laborious recipe-next could you kindly explain how to obtain a glass of water??????
9 times out of ten, "pudding" is usually the sweet part of a meal. It's a course, like appetizer/starter, dinner. Similar to using the word "dessert". 🍨
Plugs are large because safety is a big thing with UK plugs and sockets. It's all very interesting.
In the UK, if we say pie, most of the time, we mean with a meat filling of some kind. Although the occasional fruit pie is nice too. Generally speaking, if we can stick it in a pastry case, we probably have. 😁
Also, if we can put something in a sandwich we've probably done that too. 🤣
Scotch egg - boiled egg, wrapped in sausage meat, coated in breadcrumbs, deep fried. Tasty. 🤤
Everybody uses 24-hour clock. Nobody calls 24-hour clock "military time. 😏
Some puddings are savoury like Yorkshire pudding and black pudding
English is an odd language 😂
@@robertcreighton4635 pudding meant savoury fillings going back in time, minced pies did have actual meat in them for example.
@@robertcreighton4635 english is indeed odd- invented by our lords and masters americunts...we thank you holy ones (they also invented God) to look down on...you never hear Canadians,australians etc. moaning about how we speak OUR LANGUAGE.....
A friend and I were lucky enough to have afternoon tea at The Ritz. To our astonishment Anericans ordered Yorkshire pudding!
@@robertcreighton4635
I was going to say English is the best language but didn't want to offend anyone so... Instead I'll just say,
I love *our* English language.😊❤🏴🖖
Tyler, even English people can find other English accents difficult to understand
Particularly a Geordie accent.
@@robcrossgrove7927 I lived in Newcastle for nine years. I once sat for 10 minutes listening to 4 workmen talking. I didn't understand a word! I think they came from the East of the City
Totally unintelligible!
Lovely people though. My youngest son still lives there.
@@robcrossgrove7927 a Polish friend took volunteer work in the NE. he'd been quiet, so we assumed he was enjoying it. then we got a phonecall. apparently, he couldn't understand the accent and he'd been asking folk to explain what they'd just said, in English! 🤣
I am italian, and I usually have no particolar problem with english accents but.... (insert here a BUT big as a house) when I am in Glasgow I probably look plain dumb. I ask people to repeat what they said 3-4 times, then I nod and pretend to understand 😁which of course I didn't...
In Britain, we're used to hearing so many different accents, that understanding them is not a problem, even Scottish or Welsh accents - your brain simply adjusts your comprehension to the person you're listening to. We also hear American accents so much on TV, that we have no problem understanding them (only difficulty is when Americans use strange words that aren't normally used on TV). We also hear Asian-English accents, Afro-Caribbean accents, Australian accents, it's just normal. Because such a huge variety of accents is what we've been brought up with from childhood, it's not that hard
Glaswegian can be tricky.
Apple pie, actually originates in the UK, it is not American at all.
I doubt apple cake originated in UK, I have heard it originated in Germany but who knows. I bet apple cake was first made at least 10.000 years ago so many thousands of years before UK was “invented” 😂
Petrol pumps have different shape nozzles so you can't make a mistake filling your car, they don't fit into the petrol tank
Plugs are big as they have fuses in, which cut the electric off if the equipment is faulty, to reduce the risk of fire. Workplace equipment is tested every year for safety, it's a legal requirement.
Most people who work, will more than likely have a sandwich or a pie for their dinner ( lunch),
Tyler - Traffic Lights were invented and first used in the UK.
The 24hr clock or 'Military Time' to US Americans is the normal method of time telling across the planet. A bit like Metric, the US is one of the few still mainly using 12 hour times (like Imperial, we use both in the UK but less and less often over time).
Biscuits and gravy sound bizarre to me or peanut butter and jelly sandwiches
There are not just a “handful” of countries that drive on the left but some 73 inc. Japan for instance. I believe it goes back to the Romans who marched on the left .
1:40 why do you not look both ways? Are americans only taught to look left?
UK plugs are bigger, but they sit flush to the wall with the cord hanging downwards, so they do not protrude from the wall like US plugs.
Sandwiches invented in 1762 by John Montague the 4th Earl of Sandwich. He did not want to leave the gaming table to eat, looking for something that can be eaten by hands. Hence.. The sandwich is born. 👏👏
The UK has 240v electric, where as America has like 110v, plus our plugs have a lot of safety features which is why they're bigger. A scotch egg is a boiled egg in pork meat then covered in breadcrumbs, delicious. We find peanut butter and jelly or jam as we call it, now that's strange lol. ☺️👌
I was confused when you said military time, we usually just call it the 24 hour clock. I'm pretty sure it's not only us who use it as well, most of Europe does as well I think.
The word meat' originally meant 'food' ("It's all meat and drink to me") and 'pudding' meant a sausage - something boiled in a skin - and later something boiled in a cloth (Christmas pudding).
Though mince (meat) pies did used to have meat in them
In our house pudding was just another word for dessert, whatever it may be. Never heard anybody refer to a sausage as pudding, that's really weird.
@@_Professor_Oak yeh. He's talking about the etymology of the word not it's use now-a-days
@@jgreen2015 My mother used to make a steak pudding by putting the ingredients in a cloth and boiling it.
Black pudding is a sausage and is current usage.
@@peterjackson4763 that doesnt change the fact that the original commenter is speaking of the etymology
'pudding MEANT sausage'
The fact that there is one remnant of that usage didn't change the fact that pudding is not used synonymously with sausage these days
Like the deserts as in 'he got his just deserts' (thats right the phrase is not desserts as in puddings)
Its an old way of saying 'what someone deserves' but the word 'deserts' as 'what someone deserves' is not used now. But remains in that one instance as an archaic word. But you would not suggest that the word 'deserts' means 'what someone deserves' now-a-days. Now-a-days 'deserts' means 'the second person present tense of the abandon' eg 'he deserts his position.
In older English, "meat" was a general word for food, as in the phrase "meat and drink", not just for animal flesh. So mincemeat, just meant finely chopped food. The "meat" of mince pies is dried fruit and spices. But otherwise, in modern English, "mince" is always animal meat.
Mince pies did contain animal meat at first alongside dried fruits, citrus peel and spices. But this went out of fashion, though some 'mincemeat' recipes do still contain animal suet or hardened fat.
Just as well we use military time, you'd be surprised how many people (British and otherwise) are convinced that 12pm is midnight and 12am is midday (which I get, because obviously 11:59:59am becomes 12:00:00pm - but a lot of people think it doesn't switch to pm until 12:00:01pm )
@@OneTrueScotsman you'd be surprised, you will see it all the time online. Same with what time the clocks are supposed to change, which is another really easy one, they always change at 1am GMT. So when changing to summer time they change at 1am to become 2am BST, and when going back they change at 2am BST to become 1am GMT
@@OneTrueScotsman I am one of those confused people. It's not a case of not knowing it, it's a case of not being sure quickly at the right moment. My education was good, thanks.
British plugs are amazing, there are quite a few videos on You Tube explaining all the safety measures incorporated into them!x
Did u know Apple pie in America wasn't even from America it came from the UK lol
Telling the time in 24 hour clocks is something we are taught at 5 years old, it’s worry grown adults can’t tell the time in america
Tuna mayo and sweetcorn sandwiches (butties) are the best… and I’ll blow your mind here too… we butter our bread when making sandwiches. But talking about sandwiches, the PB &J sandwiches you guys love so much over there, is a very strange concept for me to process. And I really have no intention of trying it either. Just the thought of it sets my teeth on edge
...and being neither American nor English (I am italian) I can testify that both kinds of sandwiches are delicious 😋😋
taking your card away in resturant is a big no no here, it does happen, but the rule of thumb, your card does not leave your sight, you pay on leaving, but most places have the hand held card machines
sight? Doesn't leave my hand if I can help it. lol
@@KernowWarrior I agree, better way of saying it, im the same,
I remember back when garage cashiers were infamous for taking your card "out back" and swiping of a number of extra credit card slips.
@@corringhamdepot4434 your probably going back to about the 2000's or before, thats when they used to take your card, and run it across the slammer, hand writen and in the days of the cheque gurantee cards, from around 2000's the swile and sign on the till system came in, which was done in front of you, and was linked to the banks to make sure you have funds, then the chip and pin came in later
i have a great story about that time, as i worked in petrol stations nightshift, it was my last shift. when the swipe cards came in, earned myself a few quid that night. i will add it as seperate comment, legaly i might add lol,
Watch "British Plugs and Outlets Are On Another Level", which describes why our plugs are far better. Even apple pie is a British/European thing. Britain is quite small compared with the USA - from Land's End at the tip of Cornwall to John o' Groats in Scotland is, by road is 874 miles (1,407 km). As the crow flies it's 603 miles (970 km) but such a route passes over a series of stretches of water in the Irish Sea.
THAT'S an American plug??!! It's so tiny and ONLY TWO PINS??!! What the hell sort of madness are you guys having to deal with on a daily basis??!!
We have: £2, £1, 50p, 20p, 10p, 5p, 2p and 1p coins here (UK) NOT great for when we do have coins cos they can be awfy heavy...depending on how much change we have. Nowadays, we use our cards much more. Coins are becoming obsolete.
Apple pie was taken to the 13 colonies by the English 🏴🇬🇧🇺🇸
This is coming from a brit, and I will say that the tuna and sweet corn sandwich is delicious, healthy and definitely recommended. 10/10. Also in regards to the plug, the reason it's so large is to fit in the third pin which prevents you from getting an electric shock and the switches limit wasted electricity. Your videos are great 😃 👍. Have a nice day 😊.
"healthy"? It's loaded with mayonnaise which is near enough just pure fat.
The plastic prevents electric shock not the third pin
Mincemeat pies originally DID contain meat,but the meat nowadays is dried currants and candied peel🎩
Look both ways before crossing UK roads. That was what I was always told growing up here so I use that in all countries I visit.
Look right, look left, look right again. If it's all clear, quick march.
America has apple pie... That's not American, but a British creation.
Why don't they say.."as American as pumpkin pie"...that really is American.
I doubt it’s British either, as apple cake/pie probably has been made for at least 10.000 years….!
Our mains voltage is 240V. The standard US voltage is 120V.
Also our plugs are that much bigger mainly because of all of the extra safety features we have in them.
The front prong is longer cos it has to push something down and open up the socket for the rest 2 first. that one is usually plastic because it doesn’t actually have any power flowing through it. Also if you look, the rear 2 have plastic tops to even further prevent electric shocks.
We also have different wires linked directly to the fuse so that we rarely have overloads as the plugs just shut themselves off once the fuse trips.
Peckish is more accurately "very mildly hungry", hungry is "I could go for a decent meal", starving is "I am about to eat you if we don't find somewhere soon!"
Tuna & corn sandwich. Drain tinned tuna, drain tinned sweetcorn, mix with mayonnaise, splash of salad cream, salt & pepper. Can add lettuce, cucumber & tomato. Yummy!
We just call it the 24hr clock. Not military time.
Most of us use it as it’s just so much easier. I used to use it all the time, but the only reason I changed my phone to 12hr was because my gf is dyslexic and struggles with 24hr. Having mine on 12hr let’s her use my phone to check the time too.
Whenever she buys a train ticket, we can’t figure out how to change her trainline app so she’ll come to me for that which is fine.
ermm, we don't really use military time? we say 3pm or 3 o clock. Its only that phones are a pain to change to normal time, so are forced to use it on our phones
Also it's Tuna and sweetcorn, we don't just say 'corn'. generally comes with mayo also
I prefer BLT personally or Ploughmans
Did you know Tyler that apple pieIn fact, the first recorded recipe for apple pie was written in 1381 in England, and called for figs, raisins, pears, and saffron in addition to apples,”
It's polymer not plastic just like Canadian money
9:26 spotted dick is a kind of fruit sponge cake, full monty means “and everything or the whole shebang”. It’s like saying nothing was left out.
The Full Monty is either a Full English Breakfast or a bunch of unemployed steel workers taking all their clothes off.
You guys eat peanut butter and jelly (jam) sandwiches but think tuna and sweetcorn is weird 😂😂😂
Plastic money is great. Leave a £20 note in your jeans when washing them, no problem. It doesn't get soggy.
18:00 to be fair we tend to use hungry and peckish interchangeably or as peckish being hungry but on a small scale, maybe you just want a quick snack or something.
There is a video about UK plugs they are really safe compared to the USA. We butter both bits of bread in our sandwiches, I have seen a few American people making chip or bacon sandwiches with no butter. We also find it odd that you have a knife and fork yet use your fork to break up food rather than the knife.
It would usually be Tuna Mayo and Sweet Corn. Strange? Goodness you eat Grits!!!!
How much energy goes through plugs: about twice as much as in the USA. There's a fuse in each one for safety reasons, so they gotta be large.
When we British are abroad we have no difficulty in driving on the "wrong" side of the road, comes down to awareness and common sense. Driving in France is a doddle as is most of europe and Australia.
There is no way on this earth I would let my card out of my sight for someone else to process it. That's just leaving yourself wide open to have your card cloned. In any restaurant I have been in the server brings the card reader to the table and I process the payment myself.
As Brits we often drive in Europe on "the wrong side" you pick it up pretty quick
The time thing is interesting as we don’t typically use the 24hr clock (we don’t use the term “military time”) when speaking, but we do use it when writing or in digital formats. Likewise he’s right that we tend to have our phones set to display the 24 hour clock.
Things like train timetables are so much clearer when using the 24hr clock, same goes for any calendar allocation really - restaurant bookings, tv schedules.
Depends what you do for a living sometimes, lots of my family working in the baking industry and always use 12/hr timings, whereas I worked in criminal investigations and then security and therefore I run on a 24/hr clock.
you basically wrote the comment I was going to haha
Ive been using the 24 hour clock for as long as I can remember . Office paper work and then as a nurse was all 24 hour.
I use the 24 hour clock on a daily basis as all my household clocks are digital 24 hour clocks
We have both biscuits & cookies. Biscuits are twice baked. Cookies softer once baked.
Plastic money is made from polymer and doesn't get ruined in washing machine 😀
The 24 hour clock is used on train and bus timetables etc. Usually we read it then convert it to speak it. I read 14,30 on the timetable and then say to who is with me " the bus is due at 2.30 ".This is commonplace.
"Scotch Egg" is a shortening of Scotched Egg, nothing to do with Scotland! Scotching is wrapping in meat.
Electrical outlets in some countries use 240 volts so there is a higher risk. The plugs are earthed and have switches to reduce risks.
Tyler, you are great in your reactions but the big question is "Are you planning on coming over to visit the UK?" Maybe with Ryan. Speaking of whom, what's happened to your joint channel?
Our new bills notes are horrible, you cant fold them. So annoying!
Tyler sorry to inform you but apple pie was invented in the uk lol, also petrol and diesel pumps in the uk have different size nozzles so you cant mix them up black is diesel green is petrol
One thing most Americans do in the UK is go through a red light when turning left, in the UK red lights means always stop and turns have filters. The UK use 240 volts. Mince pies have minced fruit in them. I think the problem with US sandwiches is that they aren't stored in fridges. In the UK a lot of people don't move around the country so accents become very localised. Peckish is more like you want a snack not a full meal.
thank you for commenting, there’s a lot of people that don’t think you read your comments. I Watch 3 of your channels (the ones that I know of) and I enjoy all of them, so thank you have a great day & I’ll see you on your next Tyler Bucket video 💕
@@tamibenz6626 That's a scammer not the video maker.
Apple pie is british is much of western europe is very into baked goods
It's not the toob it's the choob
“Military time” is not just a British this all Europe uses the 24 hour clock 😊
I had a tuna sweetcorn sandwich for my lunch today (and yesterday, and at least once a week lol) and so it was really weird to hear that its not a thing in the us! Also i think our beans taste different to yours so they go well with toast where yours might not!
Pasta ,Tuna and sweetcorn makes a good dish.
Street to street dialect is definitely an over estimation. It more county to county.
Im sure this guy has severe amnesia, most of the things on this he's already seen/heard of.
first of all we rarely use military time. it's a 24 hour clock or 12 hour clock that's used. military time is neither of these they would say 02 hundred hours for 2 am and 14 hundred hours for 2 pm. not the same as 12 hours or 24 hours which would be 14.00pm (2 pm) and secondly 'peckish' is not commonly used. we just use 'hungry.' verified for me being an active member of many communities and roles within my surrounding areas yet none of the many people I know use military time or 'peckish' and some are in the military.
There was a big public service campaign in the UK against moving through amber traffic lights called "Don't be an Amber Gambler" for the very reason you say Americans would see amber as "Go"
We tend to name our traditional foods based on how they are traditionally cooked. Pies are generally baked in a full crust. Puddings are usually steamed or boiled. That applies to both savoury and sweet foods, so a Steak & Kidney pie is baked, so is an Apple pie. Black Pudding (Blood pudding to you) is boiled, as is Christmas pudding (a sweet dessert, nothing like a cake or sponge). Real chocolate pudding, which is like a mousse, was traditioanlly made by using boiling water as the heat source (hence it was a"pudding"). Todays commercial ones are not made that way but still get called pudding.
Military Time is just called Time here. It can be said many ways so 3:25 pm (15:25) can be said as "fifteen Twenty Five", "twenty five past three", "three twenty five", or less commonly "five and twenty past Three". Most people in the UK would understand any of those ways.
The UK plugs can handle 3 kw, that would melt a US plug.
1. we were taught to look BOTH ways before crossing a road. see 'green cross code'.
2. our parking is not chaotic. however, if you park on double yellow lines, prepare to be given a ticket or fixed penalty notice containing a fine. depends on where you are and when you need to park your vehicle during any one given 24 hour period.
3. traffic lights - underneath the push button at a pedestrian crossing, is a little gadget that allows for blind/partially sighted people to cross the road. it looks like an upside down pen top. it rotates when it is safe to cross the road.
4. plastic notes. ever notice how paper money gets tatty so quickly? that. that's why we opted for plastic notes - it means they last longer and need not-so-many reprints. I've seen £10 notes held together with selotape more often than I can remember. same for other notes too. pound notes were hellishly messy. Australia has used plastic money for some considerable years.
5. leave our plugs alone!! at least you know where they are. and you can't forget them!
6. pies = our national thing. kind of. depends. however, not everybody drinks tea, so not everything can be paired up with tea. there's nowt like a sausage roll from greggs with a bottle of cola to wash it down. mince pies are traditionally eaten at Christmas - they are fruit filled. as with a lot of our foods, you actually have to eat it to understand it better. watching videos is not the be all and end all. you have to try it. to not to do so betrays your need to learn about things that make up the British Isles.
7. tap and go payments - it's just easier. be it an app or card. it's less fuss than fighting through coins and notes and coming up short.
8. time - yeah, we use 24 hour clock. it's easier. our bus/train timetables are in 24hr time.
9. sandwiches are life. however, I prefer my tuna and sweetcorn minus the tuna. don't knock our bread eating habits until you've spent a week eating our food.
10. we pride ourselves on our accents and dialects - it's what makes us what we are. however, in Wales, Welsh is the language of choice, in some parts of Scotland, Scots gaelic is the way. same for Irish gaelic. and not forgetting some parts of the country have their own unique dialect, Birmingham (the black country), and Cornish (Cornwall) to name but two.
Don't ever stand on an upright plug without shoes on. The pain is EXCRUCIATING!
Yeah, it makes standing on Lego feel like a walk in the park. The good news is we have the switch so no need to unplug most of the time.
As a Brit I have never seen (or don’t recall ever seeing) these Spotted Dick foods or Full Monty canned foods, particularly the former. I don’t know any Brit that has ever ate it….It’s mentioned so much by yanks it feels like a myth now 😂😂😂
You can buy the Full Monty in nearly all the major supermarkets near me - it’s made by princes brand - I’ve never had it - I have seen spotted dick in the chiller section and never in a tin and I’ve never eaten it - I’m more of a sticky toffee kind of person 😊
tuna and sweetcorn is okay but not as good as tuna and cucumber
I find it interesting that the things I take for granted Americans find fascinating , like fish and chips 😂. My favourite treat is a custard tart nom nom.
Marmite and peanut butter sandwiches are my fave
I don’t think Tyler reads any comments
Our plugs have live, neutral & earth & a safety issue.
5:18 that's a g type plug if you want to put some research into it
If you want to hear the manchester accent? Listen to liam & noel gallagher from OASIS!
