The UK is a European country. The European union is a political gathering (and not all countries in Europe are members), Europe is the continent. We left the union, not the continent lol. As for the record heat, I had to google it for the exact number - 40.3 °C (104.5 °F)
That day the entire country looked like they'd just participated in La Tomatina and you couldn't even buy a disposable barbeque from a petrol station.
Their are rumours that Scotland actually melted.
The UK is the joined monarchy. People never had a choice. The british are the state of no body's choice or voice. We - the people of England or Scotland, Wales or Ireland had any idea or choice with it.
No referendum or convention.
Wake up or sleep, it is only up to you. I don't care anymore..
Just changed 'stats' to 'state'. Sodding typewriter crap on my phone..
The UK isn't a country. It's a political union.
@@lordprefab5534It's a monarchal union between Scotland and England.
The government itself is a separate entity imposed on us in 1706/07, nobody was informed about it. No one had a say in the matter - either by referendum or convention..
@@wolfsheadnorthman absolutely, no different today
We are still European. We haven't moved continent. We are just no longer part of the EU.
😂😂😂
😂🤣
REAL SHAME REALY CAUSE WE DONT WANT AMERICAN HEALTHCARE OR LACK OF LOL
I was just going to say this exact thing, including about us not moving out of the continent. Good show ole fella.
@@samstevens7888 no probs pal lol 😂
Guys, we’re still European! We left a Trading Block, not a continent 😂
UK is European, as is Iceland, Switzerland, Norway etc, but we are not in the European Union (EU) - they are not the same thing!
There was actually 2 times UK and France "got along" Concorde was built by a joint venture between us also.
Union Jack? Only if it's on a ship. Otherwise it's the Union Flag.
But nobody seems to know this
@Phil Hallbrook That's because it isn't true. It's a common myth, both are fine.
The UK is European. We didn't vote to leave the continent, just the union.
Just like Russia and Turkey. Part of their countries have space within the European continent but are not part of the EU
I don’t care how people stand politically, personally I was in favour of leaving at the time, but i’m still European, or northern European by ethnicity.
I will say the UK is still European as that’s the location so you can still call it European :) it’s just no longer part of the EU which is just an organisation :) hope that helps for the future
The UK is still in Europe. We left the European Union which is something else altogether
Look into the British crusade against slavery. Might give a new view of our history.
The flag is only called 'The Union Jack' when displayed onboard warships when out at sea. When on land it is called 'The Union Flag'.
This is up there in things that annoy me, right next to people calling Snowdon "Mount Snowdon".
Its not a mountain its a summit and "Mount Snowdon" is in the US. Its not mount Ben Nevis or Mount Scafell Pike why do they add mount to Snowdon, incase people get confused with Edward?
That's an old rule from the colonising days. For centuries & recently debated & confirmed in parliament, it's the Union Jack anywhere it's flown.
@@evzevz06You'd be surprised with how many times people get their mountains mixed up with whistle-blowers.
To clarify - That's 'history' and the flag can be referred to as the Union Jack wherever and whenever it is flown, to quote The Flag Institute; "The national flag of the United Kingdom, the Crown Dependencies and Overseas Territories is the Union Flag, which may also be called the Union Jack". This question was even brought up in Parliament in 1908 when it was stated that "the Union Jack should be regarded as the National flag".
I'd suggest there is little point asking people for their favourite pubs; everyone's tastes are different and you find your own after visiting a few; that golden moment where you decide "THIS is my pub."
And funnily enough, it's almost always one of the local ones where you drink with your mates most often.
@@supernovaleftover1812 yeah but spoons is always a decent one to default to
Old football used to be contested between two towns with the town gates being the goals, it could last for days and sometimes weeks and was usually a massive brawl as there was no rules back then
Old football had a variety of rules as the term originally applied to several games played on foot as opposed to horseback, so could be in reference to a game that the hands are used or kicking, it was essentially just a generic term for ball sport. Some games would have rules that would vary from town to town or playground to playground and other games would just be outright brawls.
Otherwise known as an Old Firm Derby 🤣
Like shinty in Scotland.
I think still played today, a yearly event is held in Ashbourne, Derbyshire..
Your WRONG, actually, if you got run over by a car, no foreigner would be turned away from A&E accident & Emergency and will not be presented with a bill when you leave the hospital. Everyone when travelling should take out travel insurance
Americas biggest city population is new York at about 8.1 million
London has 9.5 million
Spencer do you have anything to say?
On top of this the most populated state in the US is California with 38 million, still less than England.
@@MrVisualHigh as much as we are connected to the people in the U.S
the density of our population makes us who we are.
We all have to deal with high social interactions or problems or even pleasures daily
I love watching you guys, you totally get the british sense of humour and lean into it
A lot of 'British Indian' dishes are the same, or similar, to Indian dishes, as they were introduced to Britain by people moving to Britain from the Indian subcontinent. Britain has a large population of people whose origins are in India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka. A few dishes do originate from Britain though. Our most popular national dish, chicken tikka masala, originated in an Indian restaurant in Glasgow! :)
Oh Spencer - that's the most American thing I've heard you say 'We can dispute the facts' talking about a subject you don't know a lot about.
Alternative facts.
I don’t drink, but a pub you might like is here in Bolton; Ye Olde Man and Scythe, which was built in 1251… and it’s near Fred’s statue
Robbie Williams is not a British icon! NEVER to be spoken of in the same sentence as QUEEN!!!!!!
Although we have had several PM s in a short time we haven't actually voted for any of the latest ones. the last one that was voted in by the public was Borris Johnson.
Technically, we don't vote for a Prime Minister. We vote for a local candidate from one of the political parties standing to represent us in Parliament. The leader of the political party that wins the most seats and exceeds the threshold is appointed Prime Minister and forms a government (appointing a selection of fellow MPs in their Party) to take up their ministerial positions.
Queen Elizabeth II made it clear that she did not own all the Swans, just the ones in a certain section of the Thames.
On 19 July, 2022 a record temperature of 40.3 °C (104.5 °F) was recorded and verified by the Met Office in Coningsby, England, breaking the previous record set in 2019 of 38.7 °C (101.7 °F) in Cambridge, England.
I'm 57 and have NEVER had to wait long for a doctor's appointment. You phone your GP first thing in the morning and get an appointment that day. If you need referring to a specialist then you may have to wait but not if it's life threatening.
I agree. Isn't that the whole point of travel insurance worldwide. You cannot expect to receive free medical treatment when you are not a citizen of that country and so have not paid any taxes.
@@NoNowwwell Does it really take weeks for you to see your GP?
I'm glad someone made this comment.
It only takes a long time to get a hospital appointment.
@@NoNowwwell true that! Takes me weeks to get a 3mintue phone call. Cant remember the last time I actually 'saw' a GP!
@@NoNowwwell It's a postcode lottery.
I can see my GP the same day but if you're unlucky it can take a lot longer.
Funnily enough, most affluent areas with seats that the Tories want to hold tend to get more money for services and deprived areas are left to decay.
It's a sick game they're playing.
Union jack is only called that when it's flying on a ship otherwise it's the union flag
Wrong! Another person that has fallen for that fallacy.
He wasn't quite right about the languages. It's Welsh, Scottish Gaelic (usually just known as Gaelic), and Irish Gaelic (usually just known as Irish). To a lesser extent, there is also Manx and Cornish.
In Scotland there also Doric
And Geordie 😂
Nobody speaks Cornish
The video was correct - Scots is widely considered it's own language - Scot's and English are both split from Old English, with written vocabularies that use different words and Scots never went through the vowel shift. (There's also Doric, and Ulster Scots which split off from Scots, not English.)
Bud, it was correct 'Scots' is a recognised language... It's basically Rabbie Burns talk.
If you visit Brighton go to the Lion and Lobster. Difficult to find so popular with locals but not full of tourists. Lovely cozy old style pub that does an amazing Sunday roast.
And If in Bournemouth, try the Goat and Tricycle.
I had an accident last year and I got into hospital without needing an appointment. After 3 operations I went home to recover with the aid of specialist house visits. No bills, no enforced poverty. I guess it’s easy to highlight negatives. The NHS is the best despite repeated underfunding and planning by politicians!
The NHS is not underfunded, it is badly managed and incredibly wasteful. It is far from the best health service. The UK has some of the worst health outcomes in Western Europe.
@@archiebald4717 not quite right. It is well underfunded. I agree that funds are mismanaged with these middle managers etc also. It’s not one of the worst - infact it’s average compared to other European counties. Get your head out of your tory backside and see the reality.
@@Nutrient-Gold It has more funding than ever before. Proof that there is an excess is the millions spent on diversity officers and sustainability officers, whose salary is double that of the average nurse's income. Such a decision is easily recognisable as budget managers trying to use all their allocation, so as to avoid an under-spend. As for performance, the UK has the worst outcomes for cancer and other serious conditions in Western Europe.
@@archiebald4717 and yet still better than the US. And while definitely mismanaged, also criminally underfunded.
Iv been ill for 22 years, i'v had 4 life saving operations, many other ops and procedures. Iv had multiple intencive care and HDU stays. For 6 weeks 20 years ago i had a bag of food put in my chest every day it cost a grand a bag!!!! You can imagen all the stuff iv gone trough (you can't). We are so lucky to have the NHS and yes they made my home workable.
I would be broke and died if i had beem in America.
20:14 We are still European Spencer. We are just not in the EU anymore. We can't change continents lol. We know what you meant though m8👍
There isn't a city in the USA that has over 53 million people, nor a state as you said at 4:30. California had 39.24 million in the whole state as of 2021 which was the largest population for a state in the USA. New York City has 8.5 million people in it.
Greater Manchester has a bigger population than some states never made cities 🤭
You cannot dispute facts, if you can dispute a statement, then it isn't a fact, that's a fact.
You can dispute facts and the ones that fail scrutiny should be disregarded.
For instance in the past it was taken as fact that the earth was flat.
Fact is quite a loose term, theory is a better way to evaluate the truth.
Another strange fact (I’m commenting as I watch), Ian Fleming’s relative was Christopher Lee, who used to be a spy - it’s thought that he was the impetus to who Bond would become. He also was the only LotR cast member to have met Tolkien!
There is a variant of the adder which is mostly black. The black adder has it's highest numbers in the forest of Dean on the Welsh border. In the south east of England there are yellow tailed scorpions but a bee sting is more poisonous!
Funniest fact: They sent their crooks and convicts (My ancestors) to Australia as punishment 😂😂😎😎
If only we'd started in Australia, sending convicts to the UK would have been a more fitting punishment considering the weather.
@@supernovaleftover1812 Strange how things play out. I can asure you the true custodians of this giant old continent got the worst deal out of all of us
If you came to the uk and became ill or injured you would be treated the same as a person from the UK, you wouldn't be asked to provide payment or proof of income to be treated.
Just to let you guys know that the White Cliffs of Dover many thousands of years ago used to be connected to France.
And Scotland was also a seperate landmass millions of years ago.
It's arguably one of the oldest borders in the world.
Yep, it was called Doggerland; now under the English Channel.
Yep the heat record was beaten last year. It got to 40.3 °C (104.5 °F)
It said there that London's underground is the second oldest I. The world.
The oldest is actually Liverpools. It went from James Street under the river mersey to Hamilton square in Birkenhead.
‘How many countries England has ever invaded, visualised’
&
‘How did the British Empire rule the world?’
Are two videos I’m sure you’ll enjoy 💯
@ 30:45
Best pub, "The crooked house" cos it's built on mining subsidence. and leaning with wonky windows, it's just outside Dudley, west midlands
Is it still there? Went there whilst at Cosford in '79. If it's the same one?
@@johnp8131 Himley Rd, Himley, Dudley DY3 4DA. It's still there, the last few years were bad cos the opened up a landfill in the adjoining field and it stunk to high heaven. There's a face book page for it too. the only place I felt completely pizzed while drinking a coke.
Just to clarify #20. They misspoke, the election is for the government, not specifically the PM. The PM is just the leader of whatever party ends up gaining the most seats and therefore becoming the government.
Another British fact that criminally, not many know, is that we live in a world without mass slavery because of Britain. Throughout the 19th century, the Royal Navy had a squadron dedicated to blockading Africa to forcibly stop the transatlantic slave trade. They also took over the island of Zanzibar off the east African coast to stop the Arab slave trade from east Africa. A very proud episode of our history.
Correction: The UK has always been part of Europe and still is, and is also still therefore European. It's just no longer part of the *political* European Union (EU).
Newspapers are still popular although declining in popularity millions are still sold every year. We are still a traditional country and tbh I hope it stays that way.
My favourite pub is the Crooked House in Dudley. The pub looks like it's been on the p**s due to been on the boarder between 2 coal seams. One was dug out. the other wasn't. You really should go there when you come over.
it's so unfortunate that it has now been burnt down by idiots!
Travelling via the tunnel between England and France works pretty much like going through passport control to fly except you get border control before you board the train (passenger or vehicle trains).
Yes correct London hit a record breaking temperature last summer of 106.4f!
But you didn't have passport control before Brexit, right?
@@pvuccino The UK was never in the schengen zone so has always had passport control when travelling to the EU.
@@kwlkid85 Ah, I didn't know that. Living in a country-member of the EU, I sort of took it for granted! Not that I tried to go abroad lately to see what happens!
@@pvuccino UK was and still is in it's own separate travel zone with Ireland so we can enter 1 EU country without passport checks.
cold sweet tea ? in a word nasty. tea has to be made with boiling water , splash off milk with some taking sugar with it. cold teato a Brit is just plain wrong.
I think he’s talking about ice tea.
It got to just over 40c. Here in the UK our buildings can’t cope with the heat. Not many of our houses have air con and it gets very humid.
I'm British and am 40 years old next month, and I have NEVER seen a wild snake here in my life.
I live in quite a green area too. I only learnt we had poisonous snakes in the UK about 10 years ago, and always keep my eye out if I am trekking through the woods or something, but still to this day the only snakes I have ever seen are pet snakes that (crazy) people keep in their homes.
We haver Adders on the local moor in West Yorkshire.
We place metal plates in sunny spots so they can self regulate body temperature and if you're lucky and prepared to get up early you can see them at sunrise.
They usually live on hills and if they see you coming they'll hide. The best time of year to see them is early spring when they are coming out of hibernation and they need to catch some sun.
I live in the New Forest. Adders are very common to see
36 here and I finally saw one last year
I have seen grass snakes, which are small constrictors but never seen an Adder or a smooth snake.
UK is a European country. The UK isn't in the European Union.
Europe is a continent, EU is a union.
Don't underestimate how passionate we are about correcting everyone who thinks the Elizabeth Tower is called "Big Ben"! Hehe! I was only telling someone today (when visiting Westminster) about this fact and trying to say it loud enough for as many tourists as possible to hear! LMAO! :D Love your reactions, by the way!
The channel tunnel has customs just like flying on a plane does
Brexit isn't a contentious subject anymore cos everyone now knows it was a bad idea * ducks *
Well that's your opinion mate, if you really want to be ruled by unelected eurotwats, then your welcome to it, I for one am not, it's now over 7 years since we VOTED to leave, but because our parliament is still full of remainers/ remoaners, people that shall we say have a vested interest in the EU and have done everything in their power to throw a spaner in the works.
Screw the EU. 🇬🇧👍
It's still too contentious for Chicken Korma, sorry Kier Starmer, to talk about though.
We are still European, we just aren't in the EU, just as you'd still be in North America if you left NAFTA.
Thats one hell of a pub crawl
We had just over 40 degrees last summer(2022)
There is 100% curry in India to be clear, but within the category of food called "Curry" the " Tikka masala" is a curry invented in the UK and is not something you would find in India.
We're still in Europe but some of our more ardent leavers can be seen on the coast trying to paddle us further away from our European neighbours.
They're not the brightest bunch, bless them.
I like how America thinks sheep organs are unfit for human consumption 🤣
Oh I miss me me haggis
Shame it's made to sound unappetising. I always describe it as tasting and being like meatloaf. Many Americans would like it, and many do when finally tasting it. Delicious!
@@MarkmanOTW Yet they'd jump at a deep fried Mars Bar
@@MarkmanOTW I have to admit I used to get deep fried haggis at the end of the night when I lived in Edinburgh. OMG it hit the spot. Not so easy to find here in Australia
@@achebwahs1111 It certainly a pleasant surprise when you first taste it. Well I thought so. Enjoyed some a few weeks ago, with neeps, tatties, whisky sauce + a glass of malt whisky. 😊
19:14 "Why didn't they just call it that?"
Me: They did! 😂
Fun fact: The United Kingdom has a total area of land equal to about half that of California, but a population about twice that OF California. We just pack them into London, mostly... We get the space, and London deals with the crowds.
The reason for the long name in Wales is that most people want to go to the place with the biggest bottle or rubber band ball, etc, so they think that naming it such a long name would be a good way to increase tourists.
The highwayman pub in the Uk is weird, has a dinign room like a ships galley, skeletones, sarcophagus, fairy corners, hundred years old wooden beams stuck with pennies, and it's odd on the outside
The uk does have a constitution but we call it the MagnaCarta which the Americans used to write their constitution
You're more than welcome guys!!
Vlog yourselves when you come to the UK. I hope you have a great time when you come!
Oh oh! Tickets to football matches aren't expensive. Go to a local stadium and buy two tickets and go watch a match live.
You'll love it
Make sure you visit Gregg's!!
Tea, we love it. Tea was made fashionable in England by king Charles the second's wife, Catherine of Braganza, she was Portuguese.
The union jack is only jack when it's on a ship or naval dockyard which is regarded a ship. Enjoyed it.👍
This hasn't been true for over 100 years but people keep saying it...
@@MrVisualHigh I blame doctor who
@@seraphkrom1699 Maybe, I wasn't aware it was mentioned in Doctor Who honestly.
Wrong. Another person who believes in the fallacy of on sea and land the Union Jack is called differently. It can be called either regardless.
What cities in the US have more than 53 million????
New York City ( the highest populated city in USA) has a higher population than Scotland, Wales and N.Ireland but it doesn't come close to the population of England.
Originally, Welsh meant "foreigner" in English (well, Old English).
Edit: Correction on the curry thing; India does have native curries. Lots of them, in fact. It's specifically tikka masala that's a UK creation. Tikka itself comes from India, but the non-dry version was invented by an Indian chef working in the UK.
There are some other dishes that are British-Indian rather than Indian - an example of this would be vindaloo. Vindaloo **is** a Goan dish, but the British vindaloo is massively spicier, and makes use of some ingredients that wouldn't be considered for the dish in Goa. British-Indian is considered widely considered a regional Indian cuisine to go along with those found within India itself.
React to , every country England as ever invaded visualised
AND THE TORIES RUINED OUR TRIPS TO BEAUTIFUL FRANCE
Vote Leave was founded in October 2015 by political strategists Matthew Elliott and Dominic Cummings as a cross-party campaign. It involved Members of Parliament from the Conservative Party, Labour Party and the sole UKIP MP, Douglas Carswell along with MEP Daniel Hannan and Conservative peer Lord Lawson. Labour MP Gisela Stuart served as chairman and Leader of the Vote Leave Campaign Committee as Co-Convenor with Michael Gove MP, of the Conservatives.
BTW turn off caps lock you loud mouthed moron.
Wasn’t aware we up and left the continent of Europe, thanks for letting us know guys! 😂
Youre right about the weather, its been broken twice since this was made
19:46 Actually Britain and France got along pretty well during WW2 and almost joined together into one country the Franco-British Union.
And then De Gaule back-stabbed us when we tried to join the Union after protecting him. Yuck.
The Monarch doesn't own all swans. Just on some parts of the River Thames.
He had alot of great facts the one criticism is it was too south England centric with the majority of the facts when it could have given more of a flavour of the UK as a whole
You should do a video on the Atherstone ball game in England. It's crazy
Wales is included in the Union flag. The Principality of Wales was part of the Kingdom of England, so is represented in the St. George's Cross
Every pub in the uk has coke and weed in it lol I can also see France from our beach in the south east :)
Wales isn't represented on the union flag because when the act of union was passed Wales was a principality and a part of the kingdom of England, not to be confused with the country of England. It was still considered and treated as a separate country but incorporated into the kingdom of England. It can also be argued it is represented in the same cross as England as the St David's flag of Wales is in the same shape and dimensions just with different colours.
Mistake at 4:32 You have a city with a bigger population than England??? With more than 56 million? You do not even have a state with a bigger pop than this.
What he said about no laws being written down is not true. We have lots of laws written down. We just don't have a constitutional document like in the US. We have documents of a constitutional nature - the Magna Carta being the most famous but we also have the Bill of Rights, Acts of Union and Act of Settlement , Parliament Acts, Human Rights Act , Scotland Act, Northern Ireland Act and Government of Wales Act along others that together act as a scrapbook of constitutional documents. But of course we have criminal laws written down. Just when it's not 100% clear then we go to the "word of mouth" method - what did that judge say last time this happened? That's common law baby.
Hi guys. Big Ben is neither the clock or the tower. big Ben is the bell. the tower is named after the late queen. The Elizabeth tower after her diamond jubilee in 2012. I really hate that when people get it wrong or don't do any research on London. From 🇬🇧👍 an old cockney gal
I'm in a contrary mood and have had a few glasses of Malbec so excuse me for the following but do you really hate people not knowing that, or is it more accurate to say you enjoy informing people who would otherwise understanably either not know due to geographic location, or not care due to it having little to no effect on their life?
Sorry, I'm really nice in person.
And to clarify... 'Big Ben' is the largest and heaviest (main) bell of the 5 in the belfry. The other 4 are quarter bells, named the 'first', 'second', 'third' and 'fourth quarter' bells.
Did you not watch the video?
Interesting fact about Ian Fleming (author of James Bond) he was actually a spy during WW2 and in the new film operation mincemeat it shows one of the key roles he played during the war in the biggest deception of the war. Also apparently He based a lot of the books on himself
he is the one who came up with "operation mincemeat" churchill loved it and it was carried out, amazing story with an unsuspecting hero.
Totally of topic fact, my Aunt was Kevin Mclory's PA in the Bahamas and Ireland and Mclory helped Flemming develop the Bond character and that is where Tunnderball came from, and then the ensuing legal battles also, went out with Elizabeth Taylor, Aunt was also friends with Sean Connery.
His grandson Matthew played cricket for Kent and England.
Which US city has 53 million citizens living there? Mumbai and Tokyo don't even have that much.
You need to visit the crooked house pub in the west Midlands...you feel pissed just walking in the place..
In Wales everyone is constantly forced to produce loads of Welsh copies of everything that no-one reads.
'Or thrown into a bay'😑 Too soon guys. Too soon.
My favourite pub is the Olde England in Northampton UK.
Hi guys, if you are in the UK and are injured or ill for any reason, the NHS will look after you at no cost, of course it´s sensible to take out travel insurance, that go´s for all of us, and for life threatening illness´s, everyone one gets priority, sure there are problems within the NHS, why? because they have over decades allowed Managers and Accountants a leading role in decision making, Cheers Guys.
Love your reaction to this entertaining video. 👍And don't forget that a lot of our history is your history too. We humans are a weird bunch!😉😁🇬🇧🇺🇲💕
As atourist everyone needs travel insurance to cover foreign health costs however is your spouse lives here you get it for a small subsidy when you visit
Spencer. The U.K. is still a European Country, it is just not in the EU.
Also to update on the highest temperature record : On 19 July 2022, a record temperature of 40.3 °C (104.5 °F
28:13 now it is 40,3 degrees measured in Lincoln :)
Go to the underground lost property office and say you left an umbrella on the tube, say 'it was long and black with a wooden handle...' and you will get a choice !
Les is not represented on the United Kingdom flag because it's a principality. Northern Ireland IS represented on the Union Jack, red diagonal cross ❌ it's the flag of St. Patrick.
Hi, you mentioned another pub by the you get here ? Well the number of pubs is going down fast , we have lost about 5000 in under 20 years, my old town,
Torrington once had 10 pubs to serve 8000 people , also he said the underground is one of the oldest in the world , no it’s the oldest, in fact one part of it was started in 1825 , the year trains were invented, ie the Thames tunnel, first under water tunnel in the world. Regards JH
Only fools and horses should have been the first thing you checked out about British culture. To pass an imigrancy test in this country you need to answer questions about it, that is how much is ingrained in the national psyche. On top of that it is the best english tv show ever. Youll love it.
"There are Cities that have bigger populations than any of them"? So 53 million then! We have to presume you meant Cities in the USA? Wow, I never knew?
Glad someone else noticed
Aye... considering London has a larger population than any US city (city proper), and even its Metropolitan area population is around 2/3 that of NYC (with a higher population density), that's a shocker to me.
English but love Haggis !! I did go out with a Scotsman for 4 years ❤
I'm also English but think the Scotsman would probably taste better than the Haggis.
