How is skipping a queue a "Petty thing"? It's just cheating everyone who was there before you, the arrogance is ridiculous! You're just literally stating "I am more important than any of you" to everyone else.
Well, that's your cultural blinkers on - can't see any other point and won't see. In some places to get ahead of other people is admired and not fighting for the best for yourself is looked on as a disgusting weakness. If you were in such a place you'd find it very very difficult not to follow the norm because nobody else would understand your behavior.
If other people don't expect queuing then there's no serious problem. Arseholes are people who violate what everyone expects i.e. when in Rome, do as the Romans do.
TH3 _eXoDuS_ i said england/the uk because people can either assume the rest of england is like london, or the rest of the uk is like london. i'm english but i don't think i need someone on the internet to tell me how good of an english person i am lmao
It more as nearly everyone speaks with a different accent. At my school (In Bristol) no one sounds like on another in accent wise and almost all of us are born raised Bristolians
Yep, bugs me, British anything on the main island of Britain from Lands End to John O Groats. Americans mean London English, either RP or cockerniney, when they mean British English. I bet if they heard broad Cornish, Geordie or Aberdonian, they wouldn't recognise it as British!
@Kernow Forester: I hear ya but we don't always know what region an accent is from (especially if we're talking other nations) so in those cases its easier to generalise. When I went to Cali years back, people said that to us a few times but it didn't bother us, we appreciated the compliment. I've heard plenty of North American accents that I can't pinpoint to a State or region so I just say "American" for ease of conversation.
Yep I have noticed on my trips outside of London town that no one else in the country gives a shit about standing on the right, they just stand wherever they want and get pissy at me for trying to pass them!
The below text has been issued to American military in the past on cards - it said - DO NOT FIGHT WITH THE BRITISH DO NOT DRINK WITH THE BRITISH DO NOT GAMBLE WITH THE BRITISH DO NOT START A CUSSING CONTEST WITH THE BRITISH .....YOU WILL LOSE!
I'm English and went to work in Dublin. On my very first night in a pub an Irish guy bought me a pint of beer and said it was so I went back to the UK and had to tell people an Irish guy did that on my first night in Dublin. So they are great guys.
Also assumes that the whole of England (I guess that's what they mean by British, or maybe they just mean the posh, royal accent?) has the same accent. (Or the whole of Scorrrtland for that matter).
what are you talking about the UK is England Wales Scotland and Northern Ireland ....."Britain seperate from scotland " ah NO, Scotland is in Britain you twit, Britain is a shorthand term for the above (the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland")
Actually you are wrong @Lollie Pop the Romans had the first transport not the English and they invented roads. They built roads spanning Europe and thus would have needed to establish certain rules to get around. Archaeological evidence suggests it was common for the Romans to drive on the left side of the road. So they actually drive on the right side of the road we don't :)
Lol, so the asshole who created this video is happily going round the U.S. skipping queues and pushing past people to get to the front of the line thinking it's all A ok.
@@kmt_32x Unless you live in some super crowded country! I've read many travel stories (true stories) and watched a lot of videos. In some countries getting close and pushing is how they roll.
Grew up in Reunion Island, where everyone jumps the queue. Or there aren't any queues at all. Either way I got shouted at many times through my early days in England for my ignorance upon the queuing thing. Call me a moron, yet back home aside from jumping queues we manage to say hello, goodbye, thank you and please much more often than you guys, and look up to each other even those we don't know. Go and civilise yourselves you sarcastic porridge eaters. Disclaimer - I always pour milk into my tea. And dunk McVities' in it. You colonised my soul.
Americans are always rude self absorbed twats. Trust me. Went there and somebody in their stupid American truck slammed into my Aunty who moved there from whales. She had just bought a new Audi SQ7 or whatever it was and he didn’t care if we were hurt just said first up after our car flipped into the ditch and I quote “ oh that was the your fault. “ and I was like “ what did you just say?” There was a 8 year old kid in the back seat mind you, shows how much they care about anybody else.
@@aled702 The English respect the Welsh. You helped us take Scotland. The Welsh tired the Scottish before the English finished them off and took the glory, lol. Plus we love that you keep our ancestors' language alive.
As a British citizen I can assure you that most of that was kinda wrong! Don't talk about Brexit. Not because of offending anyone but rather to avoid a long rant about them being either a Remainer or a Brexiteer. Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales are not separate countries. Rather they are nations as they do not have a fully devolved government. Finally its you who drive on the wrong side of the road.
Hardly any of this is true. The escalator thing I’ve only seen in London where you have to stand on a certain side, most other places in the UK that isn’t a thing.
1. There isn’t such thing as a British accent, there are different countries together as the United Kingdom. Everybody from different places a lot of the time have complete different accents example- Scottish accents are nothing like Geordie accents and Geordie accents are nothing like “posher” accents. 2. If you are saying rules about visiting the uk, maybe actually get a british person to tell people that. It’s just know it all Americans that think they rule the world
Don't like how they emphasised "the WRONG side" on the road driving part. Would have been better if they said "right" side which is witty and more correct. Also the left side is the logical side to drive a car.
@@wondertech2496 literally is, more people are right handed and right sighted, less accidents occur on the left and changing gears is done by the less dominant hand (typically) keeping your main hand on the wheel.
If you really want to know what the UK is like don't go to London. London is like a whole other country all by itself. You will pretty much find the rest of the world in London and as such it has a whole different way of life about it compared to the rest of the UK. I'm not suggesting it's a bad place, its just has a different way of living to the rest of us.
Wrong. London is just like any city it’s got its own quirks and culture, would you say don’t go to New York cause then you won’t be getting an American experience? Bugger off. If you visit London sure you won’t have experienced Britain but you’ll have experienced London which is a hell of a lot of fun if you don’t just be an ugly tourist and march about the place practically shouting about where you’ve been and where your going and how different it all is.
yes go to london if you want to meet all other nationalities, get in a taxi driven by a syrian, buy your food from an indian, get on a bus full of europeans driven by an arab to get to dinner at the turkish resturant. afterwards enjoy getting stabbed by a somalian then be operated on by a bangladeshi. dont expect the nurses to speak english either. tourists should not go to any major city if they want to meet english people and see 'england'. go to cornwall or yorkshire instead. beautiful places in the summer.
Nah people dont do that in America lol (well in some cases) here its usually called "cutting in line" some people will try to be slick if you're not paying attention though an sneak in front of you. Or you'll have some asshole who thinks hes important and try to cut the whole damn line or the guy who acts like a stranger is his friend just to get way ahead in line 😂 many scenarios
@@somerandomguy3807 just so you Americans are aware we DO cut lines in Britain. I go to a school in England and no matter how long you wait 4 your food someone from yr 8 and up will try push in front and then be a total wanker to you about it if you acknowledge them... long story short. We cut lines. Yr 9s 10 11 are wankers and DONT ATTEND AN ENGLISH SCHOOL WITH LINES FOR FOOD and keep doing what ever weird stuff you lot do when you come here. Unless its touch the guards...
I think the number one thing to know is that the UK has way more to offer than just London. Most people I know can't stand London anyway, way too busy, way too expensive. Other than that, a little common sense will be all you need for a trip here :)
Number 3 isn't an unwritten rule, it literally says it on a sign in your own video 'stand on the right'....and it's mainly London that it applies to, on the tube.
I’m British. I don’t get why everyone is so offended. He probs went to England and learnt bout these and wants to inform his fellow Americans so they don’t make the same mistake geeez
Don't call it driving on the "wrong side," of the road. No one will get angry but obviously, we do not consider it to be "wrong." The Royal Guards may seem to be a part of tourism because they are so famous and how they dress, but they are actual armed soldiers on duty protecting important people and building and also you. If there was a terrorist attack, for example, you would see that these are highly trained soldiers who would shoot dead whoever was causing the problem. It's obviously not safe to let you near their guns in case you try and take it off them.
Good point, royal guards are just doing their jobs to make a living, if someone distracts them and there was an attack, a person could lose their life because that guard couldn't help out
Robert J. Williamson lmao. I wonder what it’s like for an American reading this. It’s quite rare for a British person to see a gun but in America.. idek
@@melmel1071 not even true, sure we don't see people plodding around with a Browning 50. Cal for self defence but guns are common up north, especially shotguns of varying descriptions
@@harry-thebricksyndicate8373 I think having a bayonet positioned at them en garde weilded by an angry man with a poofy hat is enough to scare the vast majority
It's understandable to get 'England' 'The United Kingdom' 'The British Isles' mixed up. Plenty of people here do it. However, if you even attempt THINKING about putting the milk in before the tea, you risk being put in the Tower of London and having your head cut off
Absolutely never. I am a Brit (English) and was on a training course in Beijing, my non-British colleague could not understand my look of absolute disgust when he put the milk in first. He tried to convince me it was 'milky tea'. I do hope they never find his body lol
Tea must be brewed before milk is added. If you are using a teapot, then milk goes into the cup before the tea. If you are not using a teapot then milk goes in last.
Standing on the right on the escalators is not an UNwritten rule. The instructions are on the escalators. Walking up the escalators saves far more than 30 secs. And that time can miss you the train and cost you half an hour.
I'm not talking about getting the tube. I'm talking about getting a main line train after coming off the tube. They aren't 1-2 minutes are they. And it's London we're talking about.

One of the most of important rule is to never stop to a person wearing a tracksuit asking for the time or “what kind of phone is that?” Youll get robbed.
As a brit myself, I need to say that some of the information in this video are wrong and because of that, thousands of pissed britians is commenting and pointing out the facts but to be honest, some of these facts, people with atleast a common sense could figure it out 😅
@Cheveux Moites You are an arse. If you are a Brit, why do you have a stupid Frog username? If you are a Brit, why can you not write “pissed off,” instead of “pissed?” If you are a Brit, why can you not spell “Britons” properly? In sum, you are no more a Brit than I’m a Dutchman. You are an arse.
The accent isnt like stereotypes is it? Lots of people think that but like go to Newcastle there no manners there also its not like you can just skip a queue in america is it?
I don't want to be one of those people who complain about every video and are really annoying. But unfortunately there are a lot of things that are wrong about this video. if you are doing this for a school project or are actually going to the UK, please read the following corrections. 1: The UK literally just means, The United kingdom. The territories don't form part of the name. 2:Although this point is correct i just want to point out that most people don't really care about the queen. Obviously we don't go trash talk about her but people in the UK have been to the palace enough times that we're pretty sick of it. 3:Just additional information: Firstly, if your gonna visit London, get yourself an oyster card. its cheaper and easier than using tickets. and the amount of confused tourists not understanding that their ticket doesn't come out the other side everywhere. Secondly, Don't travel on the Tube during Peak times (Rush hour). Unless you know what your doing, otherwise you'll enjoy being crushed against ticket barriers and being squashed by nine people simultaneously. Also, Just saying that when you said this is an unspoken rule. They do have a sign saying 'stand on the right' 4:Pretty accurate except if you do 'push in' it wont be a fight because you'll already be knocked to the ground. Don't test that theory 5:Hire a car if your not travelling in London because of traffic. anywhere else A car is super convenient here as you've got Motorways and A-roads connecting everywhere. 6:To be honest, nobody gives a shit. Just a tip tho, If someone uses the word Quid in their sentence. It means Pounds. 7:Some people say 'alright' instead of 'how are you' you can just say 'good, You?' as a reply. 8:Yeah we'll probably say 'What the F*** are you doing speaking like that?'. Plus, most people don't speak the 'Queens English' (Posh). Don't try welsh either Or Scottish. just speak normally, we'll understand you. 9:I agree with the first point about don't speak about Brexit. But Its not like the hatred between conservatives and republicans. Most of us want to vote No to brexit now and are tired of BBC news going on and on about it. we're not directly related about it, but we're pissed all off about how this is taking too long and the effect its had. 10:No please mess with the queens guards. Its funny to see tourists get frightened when they suddenly scream.
NavyWhite Well, Quantum Burrito is obviously not from here. First, conservatives and republicans. Second, repeated use of "your" instead of "you're". But strangely, Quantum counts himself as being from here.
The "territories" DO form the name. The video is correct. Good point about driving though. Although the public transport will get you to even the smallest village, a hire car is a lot cheaper and far more convenient. Plus, it's an insult to the intelligence of visitors to say they wouldn't handle the switch to the left - I drove for a fortnight in the US without incident.
Arthur Jarrett Did you drive an automatic in the USA? If so, that's easy. The difficult part to switching sides is with manual gears - initially you keep reaching towards the door, then realise the gear stick is on the other side, so you reach with the other hand that's not used to that kind of action...
You correctly differentiated between the countries of the UK. However, you incorrectly differentiated between a British and a Scottish accent given that Scotland is actually a part of the UK. Plus, there is no British accent as regional accents vary widely. Even in Scotland there are different accents.
TommyHilarius the first competitive football league was invented in England, but not the sport itself..it was invented in Italy (Although Italians still call it football so yes it’s FOOTBALL)
@@actuallyash2438 No Italy created a game that inspired Football. Italy definitely helped in the creation but didn't invent it. The first official rules were in England 1863 and that's the football we all play
Speaking as a Briton, I can summarise this video with 'don't touch the trained soldiers guarding our head of state, don't talk about politics, call it the UK, don't be an arse.' Done. Is any of this that revolutionary?
@@j.dino.supreme953 Now I'm not gonna burst your bubble dirty Yankey shite but your generals were German, your men were French and your ships were Spanish. Another thing crumbling means to be destroyed and trust me the British Empire didn't crumble when you fucktards left.
"dont touch the guard" lol they just running out of ideas, i live in england and i can personally say dont worry about any of this lol, just be polite to people and dont talk to strangers xD
11. Say anything against The Queen, including telling Brits they aren’t really free because they have a monarch. 12. Never, ever, talk to people on the tube 13. Don't ask to use the ‘rest room’ or the ‘bathroom’ it’s the ‘loo’, ‘WC’, ‘ladies/gents’ or even ‘the facilities’
Lol nobody I know cares too much about the Queen, maybe my Grandma. I always talk to my fellow tubers, it's fine. (although am frequently arrested for it). Restroom and bathroom are fine to say, you'll just sound American. Normally we just say "the toilet" though. Also that was a joke about being arrested.
england does not have its own government. its governed by the UK government. it does not have a devolved parliament like wales, scotland and northern ireland.
Yea especially if they were hugged by the villain from Total Recall while he's looking like that! I thought you were dead man, how did you survive that shit! You will bring misery to the people of Mars again!
In general I find Americans are more physical than Brits and us Aussies. The ones I've come across, especially the younger generation, are not that concerned about physical contact. Hugs and such are reserved for really close friends in Australia, or if a social group is mixed gender. In Australia we have many of the same social rules listed in the video, which definitely includes no touching until you're good friends (I think the rules are more relaxed in less populated towns where most people know each other fairly well anyway). In the capital cities, you also always leave the right open on the escalator for people to walk, and skipping a queue will result in your head being torn off. and the thing about money... I thought that was just common courtesy? We are raised to believe that talking about money is boastful and distasteful, but I've had a nasty run in with one American who told me that I was being dishonest because I refused to talk about my bank account. She thought I was snobbishly ignoring wealth inequality because I didn't want to discuss financial privilege and I'm like... fuck off u wanker
as a latin person we only don't hug strangers and acquaintances. Anyone past those levels gets the hug. Kiss on the cheeks for ALL ladies, stranger or not.
We don't mind if you tell us about your nasal allergies when we ask "how are you?" TBH it's probably an easier way to start a conversation if you actually tell us about your day when we ask how are you. Don't be afraid to say something other than "Fine"
It's irrelevant why other countries decided to drive on the right, when biologically the left is the correct side because the vast majority of people are right eye and right hand dominant, and that means having your right hand on the wheel and right eye closest to oncoming traffic is the best way.
No one here can be arsed about anything Hangs head in shame Except the queue because it holds you up getting to your second job to maintain your life of slavery enabling the rich to get richer
I'm 30 years old. Lived in England all my life till the age of 24 and I've only ever had 1 cup of tea, and hated it. I now live in new Zealand, and everyone assumes I drink tea. Because I'm English, so annoying!
I like how the first point was "Don't confuse the countries that make up the UK", but when talking about accents he said "British or Scottish accent". Like, what?
Don't stand in the middle of a pavement (sidewalk) looking at a map, move to the side. Don't ask us to take your photo, we really don't want to but are too polite to refuse.
Americans with any sense how to conduct themselves in public will always move off to the side, and every single person living in a city is frustrated when suburbanites don’t know this simple rule. Also, yes, most of us will happily take your photo here.
Please do not call driving on the 'right' the wrong side. It isn't - it's the correct side. The British way is correct. Driving on the right is incorrect.
On point number 3, some stations have around 2-3 escalators, running up or down, can save you at least 5 mins, meaning you can get to your next train quicker. It makes all the difference.
WHAT NOT TO DO IN SCOTLAND: 1. don't say England is better than the rest of us. 2. try to mock out accents, don't even try cause you'll embarrass yourself. 3. 'British accent' doesn't exist, it's just a bad posh one. 4. avoid junkies, they are bad news. 5. here's a list of things we don't do: we don't eat haggis 24/7, don't ask us to do a caretaker willie impression, we don't care about nessie
colin smith. ACTUALLY THE ATE CALLED CLITS (SORRY FOR BAD GRAMMAR) I live in the black country west midlands so if you offend my Welsh or Scottish neighbors you dead also don't get pissed at a pub you'll end up in. A police station wondering how you got there
If you can't speak the black country language then ask how to if not don't even try because you will piss people off embarras yourself and start a fight maybe
Please do not bring religion into any conversation. It is a private matter and should be kept that way. Do not assume that London is representational of the whole of the UK, or England, come to that. There is no British accent. Great Britain is home to a multiplicity of regional accents, some of which are English, some Scottish, some Welsh. Then there's Northern Irish, not to be confused with the accent of the Irish Republic, which is yet another accent. Donald Trump woud be well advised to remember that the Irish Republic is the fifth country within the British Isles and therefore not a part of the United Kingdom. It's not that hard to get your head around it, surely. All one has to do is look at a map and discern the country boundaries, then it makes sense.
I agree as there is also many different accents than the 'posh' english accent there are accents from different counties and citys like the brumy accent for some birmingham people, a york accent and many more and plus brexit wasn't a thing that all british people thought was right i thought we should have stayed in the eu
I men for Christ's sake... "don't greet inappropriately... every 'how are you' is followed by 'fine, thank you and nothing else'.." does this tool think we're robots? The most common greeting in the UK is "Alright?" and the most common answer is usually "yeah mate, you?" or something similar but you can answer with anything you damn well want! If you've just been diagnosed with cancer you're not going to say "fine, thank you" You'd say "not at all mate, just had some bad news" if talking to a friend. Try actually spending some time in our country before making videos about it.
Jesus, it's humorous, you don't have to take it all literally. It's true Brits aren't used to people they've just met kissing them on the cheeks or hugging them. And it's true that most people answer 'fine thanks' when asked how they are, and when people ask that they don't expect you to give them your life's history and recount all your problems.
the thing about standing on the right on escalators to leave the left clear - that only really applies in London. I've seen escalator rage in the Underground where some poor innocent soul stands on the left or parks their luggage to their left as they go up, thus blocking it for the impatient bastard who's in a rush. Doesn't seem to happen in Manchester, for instance. Now THERE is something Americans in Britain can really do to piss off those of us who are not from London. When Americans assume that everywhere in England is bloody London, never leave the place and assume everywhere else in England is an extention of London.... we are not. That kind of gives the impression that anything outside the M25 is invisible and not worth considering - we get enough of that from our politicians, thank you!
I usually block people on escalators, on purpose. They can learn to develop some patience in their life and an escalator is designed for you to stand on and move, not walk up, that's why we have stairs.
I dont think anyone in Liverpool would be arsed if you asked any of these questions or done any of these things. We'd just laugh and go for a pint. Unless you jumped a line. We'd go mad at that. Unless you offered one then its different.
Same in Aberdeen most people only get offended if you don't support the football club (which I don't) or of you are in secondary school than two of the schools hate each other
How is skipping a queue a "Petty thing"? It's just cheating everyone who was there before you, the arrogance is ridiculous! You're just literally stating "I am more important than any of you" to everyone else.

IKR that is so rude to say that the left hand side is wrong
England was the first country to have cars 😂😂😂😂😂
Actually you are wrong @Lollie Pop the Romans had the first transport not the English and they invented roads. They built roads spanning Europe and thus would have needed to establish certain rules to get around. Archaeological evidence suggests it was common for the Romans to drive on the left side of the road. So they actually drive on the right side of the road we don't :)
Technically the people who invented the idea is the Correct way so left is the correct side to drive on.

You can tell that this guy hasnt been to the uk

1. There isn’t such thing as a British accent, there are different countries together as the United Kingdom. Everybody from different places a lot of the time have complete different accents example- Scottish accents are nothing like Geordie accents and Geordie accents are nothing like “posher” accents.
2. If you are saying rules about visiting the uk, maybe actually get a british person to tell people that. It’s just know it all Americans that think they rule the world

If you really want to know what the UK is like don't go to London. London is like a whole other country all by itself. You will pretty much find the rest of the world in London and as such it has a whole different way of life about it compared to the rest of the UK. I'm not suggesting it's a bad place, its just has a different way of living to the rest of us.
Or for balance, do. Cos it's great! But do also visit the smaller places if you can.
Wrong. London is just like any city it’s got its own quirks and culture, would you say don’t go to New York cause then you won’t be getting an American experience? Bugger off. If you visit London sure you won’t have experienced Britain but you’ll have experienced London which is a hell of a lot of fun if you don’t just be an ugly tourist and march about the place practically shouting about where you’ve been and where your going and how different it all is.
I agree on both
London is a multicultural shit hole, and has nothing to do with England, English culture or the English people. London is England's lost territory.
yes go to london if you want to meet all other nationalities, get in a taxi driven by a syrian, buy your food from an indian, get on a bus full of europeans driven by an arab to get to dinner at the turkish resturant. afterwards enjoy getting stabbed by a somalian then be operated on by a bangladeshi. dont expect the nurses to speak english either. tourists should not go to any major city if they want to meet english people and see 'england'. go to cornwall or yorkshire instead. beautiful places in the summer.

Don't call it driving on the "wrong side," of the road. No one will get angry but obviously, we do not consider it to be "wrong."
The Royal Guards may seem to be a part of tourism because they are so famous and how they dress, but they are actual armed soldiers on duty protecting important people and building and also you. If there was a terrorist attack, for example, you would see that these are highly trained soldiers who would shoot dead whoever was causing the problem. It's obviously not safe to let you near their guns in case you try and take it off them.
Good point, royal guards are just doing their jobs to make a living, if someone distracts them and there was an attack, a person could lose their life because that guard couldn't help out
The Brigade of Guards is only on ceremonial duties for half the year. For the remainder they are on the same active service as any other regiments.

Perhaps it should have been 2 minute (as in extremely small) facts.
It's because each of these boring "facts" feel like they all drag on for two minutes.
It's understandable to get 'England' 'The United Kingdom' 'The British Isles' mixed up. Plenty of people here do it.
However, if you even attempt THINKING about putting the milk in before the tea, you risk being put in the Tower of London and having your head cut off
Is it OK to do that if you warm the pot first? 😁
I think if plenty of people in England get England mixed up with "The United Kingdom" it says a lot about how they see their partners in that union.
Not me..... Fuck Scotland and Wales....... Not ulster
Absolutely never. I am a Brit (English) and was on a training course in Beijing, my non-British colleague could not understand my look of absolute disgust when he put the milk in first. He tried to convince me it was 'milky tea'. I do hope they never find his body lol
Tea must be brewed before milk is added. If you are using a teapot, then milk goes into the cup before the tea. If you are not using a teapot then milk goes in last.

Dude, pretty sure most of these damn things are common sense or just the usual for everyone tbh...
Standing on the right on the escalators is not an UNwritten rule. The instructions are on the escalators. Walking up the escalators saves far more than 30 secs. And that time can miss you the train and cost you half an hour.
People that think in America do the same.I know to do that just because I have manners.
Lol the tube comes every 1-2 mins, and there are very very few escalators outside London.
I'm not talking about getting the tube. I'm talking about getting a main line train after coming off the tube. They aren't 1-2 minutes are they. And it's London we're talking about.
in London you'd usually find escalators in the tube station and they're usually every 1 to 2 minutes apart.

I don't want to be one of those people who complain about every video and are really annoying. But unfortunately there are a lot of things that are wrong about this video.
if you are doing this for a school project or are actually going to the UK, please read the following corrections.
1: The UK literally just means, The United kingdom. The territories don't form part of the name.
2:Although this point is correct i just want to point out that most people don't really care about the queen. Obviously we don't go trash talk about her but people in the UK have been to the palace enough times that we're pretty sick of it.
3:Just additional information: Firstly, if your gonna visit London, get yourself an oyster card. its cheaper and easier than using tickets. and the amount of confused tourists not understanding that their ticket doesn't come out the other side everywhere. Secondly, Don't travel on the Tube during Peak times (Rush hour). Unless you know what your doing, otherwise you'll enjoy being crushed against ticket barriers and being squashed by nine people simultaneously. Also, Just saying that when you said this is an unspoken rule. They do have a sign saying 'stand on the right'
4:Pretty accurate except if you do 'push in' it wont be a fight because you'll already be knocked to the ground. Don't test that theory
5:Hire a car if your not travelling in London because of traffic. anywhere else A car is super convenient here as you've got Motorways and A-roads connecting everywhere.
6:To be honest, nobody gives a shit. Just a tip tho, If someone uses the word Quid in their sentence. It means Pounds.
7:Some people say 'alright' instead of 'how are you' you can just say 'good, You?' as a reply.
8:Yeah we'll probably say 'What the F*** are you doing speaking like that?'. Plus, most people don't speak the 'Queens English' (Posh). Don't try welsh either Or Scottish. just speak normally, we'll understand you.
9:I agree with the first point about don't speak about Brexit. But Its not like the hatred between conservatives and republicans. Most of us want to vote No to brexit now and are tired of BBC news going on and on about it. we're not directly related about it, but we're pissed all off about how this is taking too long and the effect its had.
10:No please mess with the queens guards. Its funny to see tourists get frightened when they suddenly scream.
Conservatives and Republicans? It's Conservatives and LABOUR...
NavyWhite Well, Quantum Burrito is obviously not from here. First, conservatives and republicans. Second, repeated use of "your" instead of "you're". But strangely, Quantum counts himself as being from here.
The "territories" DO form the name. The video is correct.
Good point about driving though. Although the public transport will get you to even the smallest village, a hire car is a lot cheaper and far more convenient. Plus, it's an insult to the intelligence of visitors to say they wouldn't handle the switch to the left - I drove for a fortnight in the US without incident.
QuantumBurrito love what you wrote!
Arthur Jarrett Did you drive an automatic in the USA? If so, that's easy. The difficult part to switching sides is with manual gears - initially you keep reaching towards the door, then realise the gear stick is on the other side, so you reach with the other hand that's not used to that kind of action...
It's not "How ARE you?"
It is "How d'you do?"
And the correct answer is
"How d'you do?"
How are you for the masses, how do you do if you are posh.
You correctly differentiated between the countries of the UK. However, you incorrectly differentiated between a British and a Scottish accent given that Scotland is actually a part of the UK. Plus, there is no British accent as regional accents vary widely. Even in Scotland there are different accents.
Your right in the uk there are 3 million accents
Must be at least three accents in Dorset

Yea especially if they were hugged by the villain from Total Recall while he's looking like that! I thought you were dead man, how did you survive that shit! You will bring misery to the people of Mars again!
In american tv they seem to greet eachother by hugging tho ?
In general I find Americans are more physical than Brits and us Aussies. The ones I've come across, especially the younger generation, are not that concerned about physical contact. Hugs and such are reserved for really close friends in Australia, or if a social group is mixed gender.
In Australia we have many of the same social rules listed in the video, which definitely includes no touching until you're good friends (I think the rules are more relaxed in less populated towns where most people know each other fairly well anyway). In the capital cities, you also always leave the right open on the escalator for people to walk, and skipping a queue will result in your head being torn off.
and the thing about money... I thought that was just common courtesy? We are raised to believe that talking about money is boastful and distasteful, but I've had a nasty run in with one American who told me that I was being dishonest because I refused to talk about my bank account. She thought I was snobbishly ignoring wealth inequality because I didn't want to discuss financial privilege and I'm like... fuck off u wanker
as a latin person we only don't hug strangers and acquaintances. Anyone past those levels gets the hug. Kiss on the cheeks for ALL ladies, stranger or not.
Who wouldn't
Never ever assume we care what you do. Unless you punch us, break the law or being rude.
We really don’t care on the day to day basis....
From someone who lives in Britain this is terrible
We don't mind if you tell us about your nasal allergies when we ask "how are you?" TBH it's probably an easier way to start a conversation if you actually tell us about your day when we ask how are you. Don't be afraid to say something other than "Fine"
We don't drive on the wrong side of the road
You "Americans" do
No most of the world drive on the right side
Hype Ness then most of the world drive on the wrong side of the road
Mate it's a fact the only country's that drive on the left side is England and Countrys that England invaded and had huge impact
It's irrelevant why other countries decided to drive on the right, when biologically the left is the correct side because the vast majority of people are right eye and right hand dominant, and that means having your right hand on the wheel and right eye closest to oncoming traffic is the best way.
Chalky finally someone else who knows this
No one here can be arsed about anything
Hangs head in shame
Except the queue because it holds you up getting to your second job to maintain your life of slavery enabling the rich to get richer
We don’t drink tea as much as you think😂
I don't like tea whoever makes it.
I probably drink as much as an American would think (4-5 cups a day) but not everybody does
I'm the same as Joshua 🙄 office life
I have only had tea like 3 times in my life xD (and i live in england)
I'm 30 years old. Lived in England all my life till the age of 24 and I've only ever had 1 cup of tea, and hated it. I now live in new Zealand, and everyone assumes I drink tea. Because I'm English, so annoying!
I like how the first point was "Don't confuse the countries that make up the UK", but when talking about accents he said "British or Scottish accent". Like, what?
Don't stand in the middle of a pavement (sidewalk) looking at a map, move to the side. Don't ask us to take your photo, we really don't want to but are too polite to refuse.
Well here in the USA we will be glad to take your photos for you because we want you to have good memories of your visit.
Americans with any sense how to conduct themselves in public will always move off to the side, and every single person living in a city is frustrated when suburbanites don’t know this simple rule.
Also, yes, most of us will happily take your photo here.
Actually the best people to give your phone to for a photo are groups of young men in underpasses wearing tracksuits.
@@badatfootball9 😂😂 you mean the retards aka the call themselves "roadmen"
Janetta McGee bloody hell. We just wanna get on with our day. Sorry if we feel uncomfortable taking pics of someone we dk. We’re British 😂
You make us sound so fussy
Ikr but that’s probably because most of us are lol
Please do not call driving on the 'right' the wrong side. It isn't - it's the correct side. The British way is correct. Driving on the right is incorrect.
We won’t laugh if u ask if we know the Queen if we even talk to you which is rare we won’t care about the question gtf away.
On point number 3, some stations have around 2-3 escalators, running up or down, can save you at least 5 mins, meaning you can get to your next train quicker. It makes all the difference.
WHAT NOT TO DO IN SCOTLAND:
1. don't say England is better than the rest of us.
2. try to mock out accents, don't even try cause you'll embarrass yourself.
3. 'British accent' doesn't exist, it's just a bad posh one.
4. avoid junkies, they are bad news.
5. here's a list of things we don't do: we don't eat haggis 24/7, don't ask us to do a caretaker willie impression, we don't care about nessie
Someone needs to care about Nessie!!!
but you wear skirts
colin smith. ACTUALLY THE ATE CALLED CLITS (SORRY FOR BAD GRAMMAR) I live in the black country west midlands so if you offend my Welsh or Scottish neighbors you dead also don't get pissed at a pub you'll end up in. A police station wondering how you got there
Elliot Gallacher I feel sorry for you. Because so many people offend you like they offend the people who speak black country.
If you can't speak the black country language then ask how to if not don't even try because you will piss people off embarras yourself and start a fight maybe
Please do not bring religion into any conversation. It is a private matter and should be kept that way. Do not assume that London is representational of the whole of the UK, or England, come to that. There is no British accent. Great Britain is home to a multiplicity of regional accents, some of which are English, some Scottish, some Welsh. Then there's Northern Irish, not to be confused with the accent of the Irish Republic, which is yet another accent. Donald Trump woud be well advised to remember that the Irish Republic is the fifth country within the British Isles and therefore not a part of the United Kingdom. It's not that hard to get your head around it, surely. All one has to do is look at a map and discern the country boundaries, then it makes sense.
Yanks can't even find Britain on a map.
I agree as there is also many different accents than the 'posh' english accent there are accents from different counties and citys like the brumy accent for some birmingham people, a york accent and many more and plus brexit wasn't a thing that all british people thought was right i thought we should have stayed in the eu
its not an 'unspoken' rule about escalators, its literally signed on the escalators themselves, you can see it in the video
Each country in the uk has its own unique culture
*wales walks in*
th-cam.com/video/ZpaYJT-5MHc/w-d-xo.html
Olly Pants oh hell naw
Welsh culture is the most distinctive.
HeHe i knew i would trigger some nerds
I’ll be there now in a minute 😁
People talk about Brexit in the rest of the world?? 😂
ethancapesauto Ikr
sci-fi fans 2018 and American politics should be America’s business but soooooooooooo many people from the U.K. think their opinions matter
I thought people just talked about it in the UK
But if you do it here S H A N K
OMG WHAT IS IT WITH BLOODY BREXIT JUST FORGET THAT!!!!!!!!!
I men for Christ's sake... "don't greet inappropriately... every 'how are you' is followed by 'fine, thank you and nothing else'.." does this tool think we're robots? The most common greeting in the UK is "Alright?" and the most common answer is usually "yeah mate, you?" or something similar but you can answer with anything you damn well want! If you've just been diagnosed with cancer you're not going to say "fine, thank you" You'd say "not at all mate, just had some bad news" if talking to a friend. Try actually spending some time in our country before making videos about it.
Jesus, it's humorous, you don't have to take it all literally. It's true Brits aren't used to people they've just met kissing them on the cheeks or hugging them. And it's true that most people answer 'fine thanks' when asked how they are, and when people ask that they don't expect you to give them your life's history and recount all your problems.
Mine is you good then slap on the back
not bad, can't complain, been better, could be worse...
Kieran Nicholls I greet someone saying what
i guess the video was talking abt when you meet someone for the first time or are just acquaintances
The escalator one is generally just for train stations and the underground
And airport, department stores as well as some hotels, so not just for the tube or train stations.
Sarah Matthews hence the word *generally*
@@zoejones2882 well one day people that do videos on these things might just get it right, helps to do research!!!
the thing about standing on the right on escalators to leave the left clear - that only really applies in London. I've seen escalator rage in the Underground where some poor innocent soul stands on the left or parks their luggage to their left as they go up, thus blocking it for the impatient bastard who's in a rush. Doesn't seem to happen in Manchester, for instance. Now THERE is something Americans in Britain can really do to piss off those of us who are not from London. When Americans assume that everywhere in England is bloody London, never leave the place and assume everywhere else in England is an extention of London.... we are not. That kind of gives the impression that anything outside the M25 is invisible and not worth considering - we get enough of that from our politicians, thank you!
Never seen that escalator thing in Brum must be an only London thing
Yeah it's a London thing but even then it's mainly a Central thing
It is also the custom in Liverpool to stand on the right of an escalator.
I usually block people on escalators, on purpose. They can learn to develop some patience in their life and an escalator is designed for you to stand on and move, not walk up, that's why we have stairs.
It's not an unwritten rule, it's written - see your video - it's clearly sign posted in the middle.
I dont think anyone in Liverpool would be arsed if you asked any of these questions or done any of these things. We'd just laugh and go for a pint. Unless you jumped a line. We'd go mad at that. Unless you offered one then its different.
jump what line?
OPJuiceBox surely that's something an american would say, jumped a line!
I like that one pal,,,,
I mean the accent but pisses me off. Where you from Liverpool then they speak in the shittest cockney accent ever
Same in Aberdeen most people only get offended if you don't support the football club (which I don't) or of you are in secondary school than two of the schools hate each other
probably 99% of people watching this are from the UK.
RedPenguinYT You don’t say, did you expect the 99% to be Chinese or something?
(looks at thumbnail)
Yes definitely don't let your friendly neighbourhood demon eat people here.
This video is horrid
