The match stick story is that he didn't by actual match sticks with the lighty part on top. He went to the wood supplier and got the sticks without the lighty part on top. So he technically didn't might match sticks, he just bought the wood before they became matches
Matchsticks without the lighting part are sold in every arts and crafts type of shop you can think of … I think it refers the the size, shape and length of the tiny piece of wood, but I’m happy to be proved wrong! 😅 Also, I honestly never imagined myself writing the above. Either I’m getting pedantic in my old age or …….. hmm no - I’m just getting pedantic in my old age!!
So he bought match sticks when he actually wanted matchsticks.
He bought matchsticks, sticks to make matches with.
That is quite a difference. Probably something he should have checked beforehand maybe?
Probably was told by authorities it was a fire hazard and to get the ones that don’t light.
This is very "Angry people in local newspapers"
the Daily Mail isn't a real newspaper. all nonsense.
Rons Doing a Poo lanyard
Half of these aren't local though, they're UK wide which kinda makes it worse
one time my dad (british) wrote an angry letter to the newspaper because sainsburys got a costa machine :/ hes dead now
If they are pointing at stuff, its a local newspaper story

@@adamwhalen9225 so you missed the joke, then. Well done big guy.
The hill I'm prepared to die on is that everywhere should always accept cash. Last weekend's Windows outages are a testament to this. Cashless society sucks.
£20 keeps its value, but not digitally
Cash is an issue. We don't carry cash because its a ball ache and makes the staff unsafe due to the theft risk.
I agree - there's been too many times where my card doesn't want to work even though I've got more than enough money in my bank account, if that'd happened in places like my university campus where they've gone cashless I'd have been screwed.
Same with the shop I work in. It's a regular thing that a couple of times a week the card machine will just stop connecting for a bit & if we didn't also accept cash customers would have to either wait or just not get their shopping depending on how long it took to start working again
N Granny got her 20 = at the post office from her pension book/which is now a card , same thing same result
Living in Germany will change your mind. Cash is horrible, in many places they don't accept card/only a card available in some German banks. Also in some instances have not been handed the bill, so it can be abused to pay less tax...

The Britishness is OFF THE CHARTS!
How dare you?! What are you insinuating? Good day to you.
This is pure british culture
This and insane pessimism
Truly 😂
Social media is full of elderly people full of raging thinking that they are on a mission like Rambo despite being defeated by stairs.
Real af
Not Rambo. Daleks
Yeah…and one day big shot..you’ll be defeated by stairs too. Unless getting old scares you enough to top yourself I suppose.
Sure that last parent got fined £120 for taking his kids on holiday during term time, but he probably saved a grand on the price of the holiday itself.
Nah if you look at the article its not actually him taking the kids, it's his ex (presumably their mum) who took them but he still received the fine.
@@arthurspils2565the fines are wrong also. You used to have an allowance of a couple of weeks a year. The fines are just the local authority making money.
It’s also wrong that anyone with parental responsibility can be fined even if they had nothing to do with the holiday.
I got notes from my neighbour for having a disabled parking bay allocated in our communal carpark and for having an ‘obnoxiously large’ car (a Nissan Qashqai)! Excuse me for being a wheelchair user and needing a bigger car for easy access. Some people have no idea 😂
Since when has a Qashqai been "obnoxiously large"?
If they were complaining that it was "obnoxiously named" or "obnoxiously dull" they would have had a point.
@@nickmaclachlan5178 ask my neighbour 😂
@@richieclean that’s just rude. It’s a gorgeous car and very suitable for my disability needs
@@willowmoon3461 it may very well be suited to your needs, but that doesn't stop it being a dull car with a silly name.
And, as with most "SUVs", it's ugly. A "gorgeous" car would be a Jaguar E Type, or an Alfa Romeo Brera, or a Ferrari Daytona.
That's not being rude, that's just accepting reality.
my alarm didn’t go off this morning… the Daily Star must be informed
“WORTHY OF COMPENSATION!!!” *slam*
The story of the kid with the fifa points actually was hackers though. It was 3 79 pound purchases all from different xbox ones, and when her bank tracked the ip of the purchases to somewhere she didnt live, and then it took her 11 months to get a refund, she had to go to the paper to get her money
THIS IS TRUE THIS IS MY COUSIN AND I FIND IF FUNNY EVERY TIME I SEE HIM ON THIS HE IS 14 NOW AND JUUST TO LET YK MY AUNTIE ONLY GOT HALF THE MONEY BACK
then why would they give her a refund for being hacked? if i get my pc hacked i cant return it. its her and her son's fault
The wipes issue is my actual brother can't believe he's on one of George's videos 🤣🤣
A British man visiting Croatia has a "Quirky" "unique" "exotic" and beautiful experience. A Czech man going to Croatia is a dude with just enough money for a summer holiday who'll complain about croatian beer, stoney beaches and crappy apartments.
dunno what i'm trying to say or imply, just saying something that feels quite real, we Czech people always go to Croatia a looot, there might even be a new train line directly from Czechia into Croatia so you don't have to cross multiple countries in a car by driving 2 days in a row or so
George is exactly the kind of guy I'd expect to own a lint roller
Hope there is a pt2, this was chill, fun, just good
15:13 I guess we're just going to casually brush over the post above.
For anyone wondering, the guy was denied that world record because he didn't cut the matchstick heads off himself, he got the matchstick makers to send him matchsticks without the match heads. Of course I may be incorrect tho
That’s bullshit
@@EL01-h4c First of all, why are you responding to some random person on TH-cam? My comment only has 2 likes. Also, even if my comment is incorrect, you don't need to get so angry lil bro. You could be doing something good with your life, but you're responding to a commenter that has 2 likes? Get a life
@@Cat_fella Ooh sorry
I think he meant the matchsticks rule is bullshit
@@spazticus1976Never says that lil bro. Also did you even listen? George never said anything about the rule.
@@Cat_fella why are you so angry? 🤣
I met a couple in Cyprus years ago who said, "there are too many foreigners here and we can do all this at home!" They welcomed their son the next day so we had to watch on as they ruined his holiday before he unpacked. 😂
Poor kid
Guy at 16:16 is actually holding a herbal vaporiser i.e. a weed vape. Vape itself is also like £200 and wanted to use it on a plane 😂
10:37 i genuinely almost used those wipes once
(1:40) The poster child for “U want me fists?!”
18:53 I live in a small Hippie tourist town in Australia. twelve years ago there was a McDonald's built half a kilometre from the main town and there are still protests weekly out the front to shut it down lol
I live in the town. It's mostly the elderly not happy tbh, not meaning to be ageist or anything, but the restaurant that was there before wasn't that good anyway. The charm of the town comes from the market place mostly and the domino's is away from that. Still wouldn't want to see chain stores opening up anywhere else though. There were plans for a wetherspoons to open a few years ago but it ended up being cancelled because of a load of complaints
¿Dónde está?
The mom at 3:24 is the same mom that was angry because she had to watch the play at her kid's school through the window because the other kids were scared of her.
I saw that in another one of George's videos, don't know if it was older or newer than this one though.
She seems to like to complain about those 800 tattoos more than actually being part of society.
You could put on make up for one night if it's that horrible to be excluded and not even being able to watch your kids perform.
I lost some of my deposit on a uni house once because someone from the estate agents came round before bin day and charged us for having bin bags outside. Said he had to take them to the tip and charged us for the expense. (The council allows you to have up to three bin bags outside the main wheelie bin and we were working off a massive backlog because someone had nicked our bin and the bins only got collected every 3 weeks)
madness
People MUST continue to use cash wherever possible.
The incessant drive towards a cashless society is extremely sinister, and most people are utterly clueless about the potential dangers.
Once people lose access to cash they'll lose ALL CONTROL of their finances.
A literal press of a button could see their finances either locked or gone.
Imagine the banking sector shutting down in a cashless society.
People are sleepwalking into a dystopian nightmare.
Exactly! I don't understand why people are just blindly going along with it, are they really so stupid??! I don't mean to insult "the people" but they ARE being taken for idiots by the Banks. And people just accept it because "it's more convenient"... how Inconvenient is it, really, to only use cash (except for huge transactions perhaps)??! People need to stop being so dumb. 🙏🏽
I agree, to be honest I'm very worried about it
@@TheDarkWizard666 Everyone should be worried about this march towards a cashless society, but many people are utterly clueless about the dangers of losing cash.
Some places give discounts for cash payment as well, there's no proof of a cash payment existing so you can get away without paying tax
@domr508 In most countries tax evasion is treated very seriously, and far fewer people are prepared to take the risk.
Besides tax evasion by small companies/one man operators is a drop in the ocean compared to corporate tax avoidance/clever accounting.
30 years ago, almost any tradesman doing domestic work would accept cash, while offering a reduced price - a very rare occurrence nowadays.
Anyway, this is a bit of a tangent.
People need to realise how fragile a cashless society is.
People are giving up every bit of control they have over their finances.
Two years ago I had a part time job in a BP service station, and for a day and a half 1600 sites could only accept cash because of a system fault.
It was chaos.
We couldn't close the forecourt, so we had signs saying "Do not proceed unless you have cash".
A lot of people missed the signs, so we had to constantly shout over the tannoy - "Stop...unless you have cash".
A lot of people said that they had cash, but they didn't - they'd walk over to the ATM only to find it was empty.
All day we were taking contact details as people drove away with sometimes £100+ in petrol.
That's how easily a banking fault can cause chaos.
The reason that man’s house in Italy was so cheap is likely because it was sold as being pretty much empty, missing bare necessities such as plumbing and furniture. Some of these houses even get sold for as little as one euro. It’s a tactic used by Italian boroughs to breathe life back into towns with low population.
There’s a recent DIY show called Amanda & Alan’s Italian Job that goes into this topic a bit deeper and actually helps these broken homes get fully renovated.

7:27 its because the matches he used were made by the company without the head then sold to him and as they aren't possible to buy for normal people
If u are extending your house that is adding livable space to your house which needs to be approved before being built.
U live in the home extension u don’t live in the shed. The shed does not need a foundation that requires digging into the ground, but a livable space needs a foundation that requires permits and inspections.
I took 2 cans of pepsi in my hand luggage - They found one, Asked if I had anymore and for some reason, I said no? I don't know why. Anyway she then said what about this one. I said oh, Can I drink it now? So I downed 2 cans of pepsi quickly and I felt horrible for the next 40minutes.

10:50 And there she is right, not because she didn't checked this before obviously but because the rate is hilarious.
Where there's blame there's a claim. Lets go!
5:45 unironically this Dad is 100% correct there is absolutely nothing that is his fault, a child could legitimately drown in that all it takes is one of good to rain in a kid to not see it in the grass and next thing you know a 3-year-old drowns. Or a drunk person manages to trip and fall and they break their leg , or someone who is drunk and less than 6 ft tall are not able to find purchase and get themselves out of the pothole and they also drowned in a really sad death
Nah the blast test one tho 💀💀💀
the man with the GIGANTIC vape, is a medical cannabis device and not a nicotine vape, it could be for seizures, panic or servere pain, so its valid to use it in extreme circumstances on a plane
Wow, that last one! We don’t have that here in New Zealand, but I love it! The amount of kids that leave for weeks and weeks at a time to go back to their home land to visit relatives or for funerals is astounding. They miss out on so much that they come back, testing at the lower end for there age. Because it doesn’t just happen once but multiple times a year.
I live near a historic town called Niagara on the Lake and everything has to match the historic vibe. The McDonalds is made to look like it fits in and the yellow M isn't allowed to be high in the sky like usual. It's fascinating and I wish more places kept their asthetic like this even as time passes.
“Holiday to Spain ruined by Spanish people” reminds me of that one story where someone was pissed at their travel agent because
“The Bahamas were closed! Why would you send us there?”
(They went during hurricane season)
Though the person that was trying to vape, that was a dry herb vaporiser which is for generic medical use, like medical cannabis which is for people with seizures, fibromyalgia, cancer and long term pain conditions. Tbh as long as the country they're flying to allows it I feel like they should have a separate room for medical users.
4:47 I like the smiling AI girl that's been added for no reason. She's happy they lost the money.
My favourite part is them always posing with the item that's offended them, or some related prop. Been a couple of stories of people upset about potholes on their street (admittedly, those are irritating) and the paper will have them sitting on the ground next to the pothole like they're having a couple's picnic 🤣
I swear in every video George talks about a new country that he has recently been to.
16:22 that’s a herbal vaporiser, and a pretty expensive one too 😂😂
Yup people need them for different conditions it's not just a recreation vape 😅😊
For those who don't know, Compo is a reference to a character of the same name from a British sitcom called "Last of the summer wine".
No it isn't. It's a shortening of the word "compensation".
As in, there is a certain face one pulls when trying to show how disgruntled you are, and garner enough sympathy that the offending party compensates you.
The vape guy wasn't after a nicotine hit, that's a high quality medicine dispenser right there 🤣
All this time I've been thinking it was a Last of the Summer Wine reference.
Me too.... showing our age 😂
"Nora Battys wrinkley stockings" IS a Last of the Summer Wine reference. 🤷🏽...
Is that not the reference you were talking about? 🤔 OK. Which bit are you talking about?

A lot of foreign people come to England on holiday, and are surprised that there aren’t any English people
Oh the flake one is a real problem. Kraft bought Cadbury a few years ago and I think they replaced something in the chocolate with palm oil and they managed to do it for everything but flake and eventually they figured out how to barely make it work. Now all our chocolate tastes worse in my wife's opinion. Personally I'd rather have a pie.
1:49 literally clicked on the video because i thought it was him hahah
7:05 for the matchstick tower he was disqualified for not using commercial mattresses, instead of cutting heads off matches he contacted the manufacturer and was able to order matchsticks without the heads which they instantly disqualified him for, but ultimately reversed the decision
I have never been charged for an order not delivered. Many times delivery drivers have missed my house, ran around aimlessly, or tried to escape, but each and every time I have received my burgers.
16:20 thats a mighty lol bro couldnt not smoke weed for a FLIGHT
Convert the timestamp from 24hr time and... BOOM
For the 20k shed thing, the planning permission is mainly in regards to the noise of making it. That’s where most of the complaints will come from - neighbours moaning about noise, especially late at night.

@16:15 that is a weed vape, absolute madman, I'm pretty sure he just went to the papers to show off his vape and flex on us.
The matchstick guy used ones that had the lightable bit on the end removed, which you do before u start building it. Its standardised to remove it yourself
To be fair, I went to France and they were all great to me. But I get the feeling that was because I bothered to learn at least the basics of their language before I went.

Which country?

There's no real housing shortage in England. Drive through the suberbs of most cities and there's street after street of boarded up properties.
We're destroying our small towns and villages because there's far more profit in new builds than there is in renovating all existing empty properties. It's definitely not because of a property shortage like they claim.
I imagine the landlord lost 57 homes due to Section 24 being introduced. It meant landlords with property in their own name could not write off mortgage payments as tax-deductible. This completely crippled their income. I think the government wants to encourage investors to have property in a business rather than in their personal name. Something to do with transparency or whatever. I heard a couple that retired after having a passive income of £10k per month had to start working again because this legislation meant they were only taking home £1,200 per month. Literally overnight. I imagine this is what happened to him.
That vape was a dry herb vape so he was vaping weed on the plane 😂
