Agreed on that one. For all it's faults, the transport in London and suburbs is pretty well connected. I am in my early forties and have never learnt to drive (but people still do and I am still the exception). It's only when people move out of the city that they have to really think about getting a car. Depending on where you are in London the traffic, pollution and travel time makes a car prohibitive.
Although I was born in England, I learned to drive in Australia and have mostly driven in and around Melbourne. When I went back on holiday in the 1970s, all my relatives in England and Wales warned me not to drive in London. So I took their advice, parked the car in a long-term garage and bought a "Red Rover" bus pass. However, once I had to go somewhere where there was no convenient public transport and decided to drive. What a pleasant surprise! The almost unfailing politeness and courtesy of British drivers in an urban setting made driving in London (or any other British city) a breeze. Try driving through Sydney in peak hours if you think London is bad. Where I found the Brits fell down was on the open road - they seemed to leave both their brains and manners at the motorway entrance. Aussies are he opposite.
Seriously we barely ever tip in the UK, even if we do it’s just a couple of pounds. When I visited america, this cab driver was terrible, kept driving round in circles and was moody the entire time. When I didn’t wanna tip him he got pissed off. Ended up tipping him 4 dollars but was pissed off like he deserved more? Bruh. Americas tipping culture is crazy.
Asking our cousins from across The Pond to not be "obnoxiously loud" is akin to asking them not to stuff their faces full of doughnuts, burgers, hot dogs and french fries for a month. Mission Impossible.
As a Brit, my biggest tip, don't waste your entire trip in just London. It's become a bit of a shithole if I'm honest, much better places to visit for authentic England and traditional English values away from London.
trancehi Im a Londoner but especially in the summer I love getting the fuck out of London. There are so many beautiful amazing places even a short train ride away in Kent, Surrey etc
I hear you. I'm from the West Country UK (Somerset, Devon & Cornwall) It's all untouched down here and massively still English, if you know what I'm getting at.
You tourists are welcome to visit Devon, a place of natural beauty but please respect the environment don’t just leave your rubbish on the floor and also be respectful to the locals and we will respect you, and buy you a pint down the pub if you’re a good lad or lass
Joe Hooper I agree and I keep telling people this, it's still beautifully English down here. The Government seem to place all theses immigrants up North and I feel sorry for my fellow Englishman who are now becoming a minority in places like Birmingham and parts of London. I hope the West Country never gets to see any of it.
no the other reason we do it is due to having higher health and safety requirements that help ensure that meat doesnt get litterally covered in s**t during the butchering process, reducing the need for chlorine. "A report by the EU Scientific Committee on Veterinary Measures, for example, highlighted that the chemical cleaning treatment can be effective at removing food-borne pathogens depending on how it is used. The real fear is that heavily soiled birds may not be sufficiently disinfected, and that relying on chlorine washing could lead to poorer hygiene standards overall. EU officials believe the food industry should be continually improving hygiene standards in all steps of processing - the “farm to fork” principle, and so have banned chickens washed in chlorine as a deterrent to poor practices. But in the US there are no poultry welfare standards so the process is common. There have also been reports, including undercover video evidence by the Humane Society of the United States, of both inhumane and unsanitary practices being carried out within poultry houses due to a lack of animal welfare regulation."
@Blee regular ecoli out breaks? They come from narsty people who don't wash their narsty dutty wrenk. You cook the chicken to to get rid of micro organisms. We also have the NHS.
@Blee more people die from food poisoning of chicken in the US than the UK. In the UK we have higher standards of animal welfare. It's not perfect but on average it's better than the US. Our chickens live in a cleaner environment so there is less bacteria to start with.
"England is not just London." So true. Go and visit Yorkshire, go and visit the lake district, go and visit the peak district. England has some beautiful coutryside and a lot of great places to visit outside the M25.
Durham's cathedral is amazing, I've been so many times I have its design engraved in my head (I live down the road in a small town from Durham where you can see the towers) If you sit on the hill next to the firestation in the fields at sunrise it's magical
Clarissa Acevedo That is true, but damn, i wish people wouldn’t be so pushy in a line. Your turn will come, just wait. Edit: I forgot to mention lunch is like 30 minutes from when the bell rings to when you go back to class. I have had to wait in line and have 10 minutes to eat. Weirdly enough, I get the same lunch break at work despite my buddies working elsewhere getting an hour lunch.
Welcome to England. Just try to avoid saying the word "fanny" in public because, believe me, it may be less than an inch away from where you *THINK* it is, but there's a bloody big difference, physically....
We don't eat a "full English breakfast" every day; it's pretty much a heart-attack on a plate; and because it is so unhealthy it is usually limited for a special occasion or when you are on holiday or something.
Kevin Symonds because it’s both a new experience for international visitors and a nice treat for locals. I personal only ever eat a full English breakfast at a hotel 👍🏼
Panis Angelicus - Nutritious? Wow, you are seriously misinformed; A full English breakfast has really high cholesterol, saturated fat, processed meat of questionable origin in the sausages, and the World Health Organisation has classified bacon as a class-one carcinogen. What part of that do you think is "nutritious"?
Joseph S-D....... there are self entitled Mummy's boys in the UK, stray libs/progs/soy boys.......try to stay away from them anyone visiting! Do not pet do not encourage. They need to be put down, humanely of course.
I fucking hate chavs. I was beat up by a gang of 5 or 6 just cos I walked past. My best mate had 50 quid robbed off him a couple nights ago cos the dirty scumbag couldn't be arsed to work instead. Vile filth.
That's everywhere though, half of these guides are just common sense bullshit. Plus, if your visiting England why the hell would you be late to something? You're limited on time.
Don't eat fish & chips in a pub. Go to a real chippie instead: cheaper and more authentic. And if you want to use two fingers to indicate "two", remember, don't do it with the back of your hand facing the person you're communicating with. That's equivalent to a middle finger!
You can’t beat the northern chip shops though 😂 I’m sure they fry it in beef dripping... and the portions/prices are so much better. That’s one of the main things I miss from up north! And the smacks they sell! Thy don’t in the south 😭
Yea just a point - the food is WAY better in the UK than in the USA. Please note most USA produce is illegal in the UK because it doesn't meet UK health and safety standards.
A little sample from Mark Twain: “The Masons gave us a Missouri country breakfast in Missourian abundance, and we needed it. Hot biscuits, hot wheat bread, prettily crossed in a lattice pattern on top, hot corn pone, fried chicken, bacon, coffee, eggs, milk, buttermilk etc. and the world may be confidently challenged to furnish the equal of such a breakfast, as it is cooked in the South.“
Its all that fucking corn syrup, it's in everything in the US pretty much every other country has banned it due to it's disasterous health risks, but it's super cheap and a highly addictive preservative so the US government allows it thanks to food lobbying. Even the bread in america tastes like cake everthing is too damned sweet and unatural.It's little wonder they think every other countrys food is shit everythings not loaded up with brain altering addetives.
@@Devofone I've lived in the US for 22 years and I have to say it has the worst bread in the world. I came from Australia where we have tons of Vietnamese bakeries which bake French bread - the best in the world!
Train prices is definitely something we need to sort out, I shouldn't be able to fly to most European countries for less than a train to my countries capital city
Band Lover You expect it from less civilised places like America or France but it’s unbelievable the Germans can’t do it. Japan is such a thrill because they queue better than us.
Band Lover American here, and most of us “queue” just fine. In fact the only times I’ve noticed line jumping is in theme parks like Universal Orlando or Disney World. Big hand to all the British tourists because y’all are always a pleasure to stand next to in line, always polite and give us Americans our personal space. Now the WORST tourists and worst offenders when it comes to line jumping are as a general rule from South America. Mostly Argentina. Can’t tell you how close I’ve come to punching one who was literally brushing up against me in line. And they have these damn tour groups of Teenage girls who literally travel in groups of 50-100 and sing group songs really loudly and generally just ruin everyone’s day. And I know their from Argentina because the will literally have the flags all over their shirts and carrying little ones or having them wrapped like blankets. And they will have one family member get in line , and then the entire rest of the family will push through the line past 100 people. And really mankytoes? In what exact way are we less civilized?
I really hope some tubby yank reads this when visiting...... Because you have to be proper when speaking the Queens english of course, not for any other reason!
Karina Pro tip: these chavs actually know the streets really well and would love to help you out so don't be afraid to ask them for help 😂😂 Can you imagine the sight haha
except when you reach a station with only one elevator to reach topside and millions of people in line to enter it -.- And btw NO STAIRS. We have to use the emergency staircase, which we were told not to do so on the intercom. nonetheless the subway is brilliant.
Even then I still say sausages and mash probably just for the posh people that word as I won't know because I'm scouse and our posh person is anyone who doesn't smoke crack
As somebody who lives in the uk If you visit smaller towns and especially villages don’t be shy to wish somebody good morning or good afternoon. A lot of us tend to be kinda reserved over here, and won’t say it first due to shyness, but It always makes me feel good to be wished good morning by a stranger. Village people love it. Also, be prepared to talk about the weather...like, a lot.
I am going to be going to London my first time next summer and want to know what would be the best place to stay and what hotel to stay at? Like Waterloo? I want to be close to Buckingham Palace and stuff. It is my first time in London so u said u live there so I would greatly appreciate any info and tips that u could give me. I watched a lot of videos, but there is so much info about so much other stuff and hard to get what u want out of it. I would greatly appreciate it!
I'm from nyc so that is very "rare" here to do that randomly but because I'm a brooklynite and some neighborhoods are more "smiley", I've found myself getting greeted and I don't say anything back but I give them a smile of acknowledgment. In Manhattan that's a big no no. The rest of NY state is more "welcoming" because of how reserved it is. Nothing like the Midwest and the south though. They say hi to random people and that kinda scares me lol.
4:24 I'm happy you said this because In Cornwall we have amazing beaches that you could surf on and explore the caves and climb the mountains but all the tourist are busy in London.
Yeah that annoys me as they made football into a different sport!!! And I’m like why couldn’t you of made a new name??? You don’t use your feet much in American football anyway it’s more like rugby 🏉
@Mr McBoom: American "Football" actually derives FROM rugby, which was more popular with the university students in the USA around the middle of the nineteenth century than association football was.
Coming from a country that eats deep fried butter on a stick I don't think you have the right to tell us our food is bad. We eat actual food, not fat and greese on a plate.
Nikita Lomas i’m sure it does 😭😭😭 but not everyone eats it. a lot of people here eat pretty good food if i do say so myself. especially since america is so diverse, it’s sort of a melting pot of a lot of different people who, in turn make a lot of different foods!
Takertantrum2000 America isn't the only diverse country. The rest of the world actually exists too and everyone else has just as much diversity as the US. Although with what I've seen coming out of the US in terms of how people seem to treat each other there, I dare say everyone else is doing a bit of a better job at being diverse. Diversity means nothing if everyone hates each other and constantly talks shit about everyone else. (Not saying that you do, but in general what I've seen myself coming from americans that I have met, and when I've been to america myself, it may be diverse, but that doesn't mean they all like it and get along) I just get fed up of this "we're better than all of you" patronizing snooty attitudes that americans have. (Again, not saying its you personally but in general.) I can't tell you how many times I've heard the fucking patronizing speach about the so called 'melting pot' or had someone ask me how it feels to be second class to america. Maybe if the general people of america pulled that shiny silver spoon out of their asses and shut the fuck up saying that america is so amazing, maybe the rest of the world wouldn't have the view that america is a pile of shit? Cause trust me, from the outside looking in, I would never cross that border again if it meant having to talk to or see any of the people. I hope you can understand how patronizing it is. It's probably unintentional, but I've heard that melting pot crap so much that all i hear now when someone says it to me is 'my country is better than yours because there are more people in it' it fucking annoys the shit out of me
Nikita Lomas i’m sorry you’ve had those experiences and honestly i’ve felt and witnessed the same thing from ignorant people over here. america has the potential to be an amazing country but people can’t seem to accept that america isn’t the only place on earth. a lot of that is the media we are given that makes it seem like america is bigger than it is (figuratively). so i definitely see where you’re coming from, and i agree to the fullest lol obviously like you said, not everyone is like that, but it’s enough to where america has become a very polarizing place to live, especially for someone like me. i live in washington, d.c. but purely from a culinary perspective, i’m not saying that we are the only country who has diverse people, so i apologize that i made it seem like i was saying it in that manner. i just think there’s this stereotype that all americans do is drink cheese from a can and eat fried twinkies. i’m not criticizing it tbh-if someone eats that, then as long as they’re happy i’m cool.
About driving: Don't drive in London, especially as a foreign tourist if you're not used to driving on the left. London traffic is far worse than in smaller towns and cities, there are many one-way roads, toll roads, roundabouts and traffic lights. And there's no law on jay-walking; pedestrians can and do cross anywhere they think is safe. In my experience, it's far quicker, cheaper and less frustrating to use the tube (subway). You can even rent a bike, and although I haven't personally tried that in London, I'm sure it would be faster than driving for many journeys. But by all means, driving is the best option for smaller cities and towns, and pretty much the only practical option for more rural destinations.
I wouldn't reccommend renting a bike in London if you're not used to British roads. Hell, I commute miles to work on a bike but doing a mile and a half between stations in Central London is absolutely hair raising.
I agree with the don’t drive in London thing. I’m a born and bred Brit from the south east and I don’t want to drive in London. I think biking is also risky even if your used it to it so the tube or buses are safer for tourists I feel.
@@jamessaunders4265 I was just messing smh but I have met plenty of British people and their lovely but also ruthless with the banter if they so choose to be
Wow it really annoys me when people say English food is terrible. Most cuisines around the world is influenced by English food from occupation etc especially American food. I don't get where that comes from it's like talking about our teeth that is the most random thing I've ever heard.
Nathan Tisdale the teeth stereotype came from when American troops fought alongside British troops in the horrible conditions in ww2 which meant the British troops teeth were bad, but now we are joint 1st with Germany with the best teeth in the world
To an American I can completely understand why they find out food plain/bad. American’s almost always eat out partially due to the cost of ingredients in America making it cheaper to eat out. the food is full of sugar, fat and salt to make it taste better while in Britain we rarely eat out and only in ‘higher class’/fancy restaurants which a lot of tourists may not do. furthermore, Britain our ‘street food’ of Chinese & kebab shop etc is pretty awful, it Britain we mainly eat in, so they don’t experience the same British food we do. Pub food can be pretty hit or miss but once again we have a far ‘duller’ pallet than Americans so we use less salt and sugar, so all food taste way blander to Americans. EDIT: fixed some grammar
Great review, actually. The most important tip you gave was to look right when you cross the street. I have literally saved two Canadian friends' lives in London. On both occasions, they were about to step out in front of a double decker bus. Of course, the good part is that they are now my slaves ... The only thing I would add about renting a car - you can rent an automatic car. Just tell them ahead of time. Rental companies are becoming better at that. Also - don't drive in London. The public transportation is great, congestion charges will hammer you, there is nowhere to park - the list is endless. But when you go out, you really need a car as public transport outside London is wholly undependable. And pricey.
Brilliant video as always! Just want to point out a few things: -if you’ve come to England before and you have a round £1 coin. Don’t bother bringing it as it is no longer legal tender, ensure you coin has 12 sides -people don’t particularly care if your late, they just prefer you not to, English people are constantly late.. a somewhat acceptable late is usually 5-15 minutes. -Don’t visit just London. I know you brought it up, but I can’t stress it enough. There are some beautiful parts of England. Some of my favs are Cornwall, and where I live, the Cotswolds. - People in England aren’t as energetic and enthusiastic as Americans, we like to keep ourselves to ourselves, and you need to respect that. Don’t be loud, loud mouthed, or disrespectful to a person, or you’ll probably be on the receiving end of a punch. Swearing in England is a lot more accepted, don’t do it around children, however, that is not acceptable. Also, we don’t count words such as damn as a swear word, however, swear words you don’t have include: bastard, wanker, uckers, sket. Those are not all, just a few. - finally, if you’re looking for something American (lucky charms for example) expect to pay double, or sometimes triple the price of normal cereal, like rice crispies. An additional note is that there are a lot of American things we don’t have (eg chipotle) however don’t be afraid to eat other places, they may surprise you! Once again brill video, and I hope this helps somebody!!
LivingSea2 We have Chipotle now. In general though, I'd say avoid any Mexican or TexMex food here. It is usually awful. It is the one cuisine that is genuinely difficult to find decent examples of in London I think.
If you're late make sure you apologise and it'll be fine. Things happen. If you know you're going to be late, call ahead to let the other person know, also apologise. Say sorry and no one cares.
I have a few points to make 1. When you get on a bus, train or tram and someone is waiting to get off you let them off before you get on 2. When you get off a bus say thank you to the bus driver before you get off
Thanks for staying that London doesn't represent the whole of England. I live up North and been to London twice. It's fairly alien place for me and it's the same country.
Nikolai508 yeh it’s weird for me. I live in the midlands (borderline south) and I’ve never really been to any of the bigger cities up north. It’s crazy how you can live in a country this size and not have seen much of it
The food thing is odd. I'd never heard that the UK has a rep for bad food. It's weird because here in England, the general opinion is that America is a great place to visit, but has awful food. But my friend moved from here in London to New York a few years ago and he says that the food is good. Maybe these are just outdated myths.
Yeah. Honestky the food network and all those cooking shows and foodie revolutions have taken hold in so many places around the world that it's getting easier to find really good food in places that "historically" dont have the greatest reputation for cuisine.
I live in Manchester and i cant stress enough how right he is about London not being England, the atmospheres are very different and me being a northener is like a fish out of water visiting London, also in manchester, a pint doesn't cost you £5 lol
I came to the comments to say this but you beat me to it, also seeing an American with a picture in Urbis gardens next to the football museum made me happy
27% of the UK population is obese, compared to around 33% in America. England has the highest obesity rate in Europe. It’s a shame that these facts aren’t made obvious to the public.
If you look in the right places, you can always find good quality food in England. We also have a better understanding of something we call PORTION SIZE ;)
Just to add to the point you make about renting a car - don't drive in London. It's pointless. The traffic is horrendous, you can't park anywhere, and if you do manage to find a parking space, it's either a 3 hour maximum stay, or it's £30+. Only rent a car if you're staying outside the capital city. Roundabouts are easy - just get in the correct lane (left lane for left turns & over, right lane for right turns & around), give way (yield) to traffic on the roundabout & go when there's a gap.
Yep, London has pretty good public transport. Get yourself an oyster card. If you're on the tube or train then tap the card reader going in and tap it going out. If you take the bus only tap it on your way in or you'll get charged twice!
I've only been to England once, but I am headed back this summer. Avoided London entirely. Won't even fly in there. Landed in Bristol last time and drove to Dorset. This time it's Newquay and an obvious visit to Cornwall.
A queue is not just a line, it also exists when you can’t see one: keep track of who is waiting when you arrive and the next couple of people who arrive after you. They will and pushing in is still extremely rude and you can still be called up on it.
As an Englishman I just want to say that this is the FIRST video I've seen about my country in which I agree with every point made! Also, I'm actually from York, so it's great to hear my wonderful, historic home city get a mention rather than the usual London obsession I usually come across.
I'm from new york lol. York and "York" 😂 But I've seem some videos of York and it looks so nice and somewhat "cozy" like I want to eat some soup there or some yorkshire pudding lol. The UK has really cute villages.
Great Video! There's just a couple of things I'd like to add; - The £1 coins as seen at 5:11 are no longer legal tender, so make sure you have the 12-sided £1s - Don't expect to get free plastic bags from supermarkets (like in the US), there is a charge of 5p for the single use ones, or 10p for the thicker reusable ones.
Actually the thicker ones are now replacing the thin ones, and are 5p. Both my local sainsbo's and tesco's have done it, it seems mainly in tesco local.
Taking the piss = are you joking Bob's your uncle = done Gutted = sad (varies on intensity alot, you can be gutted you or your mate lost a game of FIFA and gutted your grans died lol) Brolly= umbrella Cheeky = kinda naughty but in a nice way lol Gaff = house e.g. I'm off to Ben's Gaff Leg it = run as fast as you can ... Often from the police lol Gobsmacked = shocked Minging = ugly or revolting (it can be used to describe anything really that girl could be minging or a minger or the food you got from the restaurant was minging
As a Brit this video is very accurate, listen to this man. Especially in regards to London NOT being the be-all-see-all. There's so much else to see outside of London.
The reason we drive on the left is historical and ergonomic in its origins. When travelling by horseback before the existence of motor vehicles people passed by each other on the left as the majority of people were right handed and thus wore their swords on their left hip. By riding their horse to the left they were able to draw their sword from their left hip and bring it to bear in their right hand for defence against wood be attackers
Also, majority are right handed so it makes more sense to have the steering wheel in the right hand and the gears in the left, thus right hand drive cars, thus drive on the left
VideoDeadGaming .... emmm no ! all single seater racing cars( in the uk and the world ) have there gearstick on the right hand side , your dominant hand changes gear instinctively, leaving your brain to concentrate on steering.. Just like playing guitar... right hand strums guitar, left hand picks the notes.... duh !
The poor reputation that British food has in the US is, in my opinion, the result of what returning US troops reported in 1945. During WW2 the British were subject to severe rationing - lives weren't risked importing unnecessary food items such as tropical fruit and vegetables - we lived on potatoes, cabbage, root crops and some imported stuff such as powdered egg and spam. Many people grew their own vegetables and kept chickens - meat was a luxury usually reserved for 'the man of the house.' In addition the amount of food served per portion was even smaller than those of today - we do not eat mounds of food. Rationing included everybody, from the King down - of course there was a black-market, but rationing ensured everybody got something to eat. Sweets (candy) and chocolate were amongst the last items to come off rationing in the 1950's. My mother told me that her sister came home shortly after sweets had come off ration and told my gran that she had been in shop where a woman had bought ten pounds* worth of sweets - gran said that couldn't be right, she must have been buying ten pound (weight) My aunt, said no mum, I saw her paying. *The average 'working wage' was somewhere between £3 and £5 per week at the time. It's been often claimed that the average Briton was healthier during the war years than we are now.
@laser325 all of those things I love to eat... What would be the point of going to Britain and not tasting them to make your own choice, there would be no point of going to the UK otherwise!
@laser325 The foods you listed are pretty good, and from the sound of it I'd guess you live on McDonald's, so I'm not at all sure you're qualified to talk about what's crap or not.
I’ve noticed a lot of England residents speaking about how it’s mostly British people in the comment section, but I’m proud to say, as an American, I am actually using this video :).
All i can offer is 1. Fish, chips and spicy curry sauce is a delight. 2. If you're going to stay for a while for gods sakes, dont do it in London. Hang out somewhere beautiful like the Lake District.
Other places to visit in the U.K: Cornwall - Rugged coast and quaint fishing ports Cotswolds - Some quaint villages and lovely countryside Lincoln - Fantastic small city Scotland - So much to see, beautiful highlands and great Lochs Wales - Again some lovely scenery there Look for places off the tourist trail. My local city Worcester will give you a great feel of a traditional English city. But please don’t just stick to London. I feel it’s good to spend 2-3 days there, but then go and visit some of the rest of the UK
Im glad you mentioned London isn't England! The times ive met a foreigner and ask them if theyve been UK before, then they reply 'YEH! ..ive been London.' And make out as if that is all of England. My god. London is not the real England; go Midlands, Yorkshire or the Lake District! Theyre brill and way different! Plus use/visit the National Trust, so many places to go and see outside of London.
How about Lincolnshire that is a good place to visit if you want history the cathedral and the castle a fun fact about Lincoln cathedral has some part have been found throughout the building
I'm from Australia but live in the USA now and have visited England many times. This was a very well summarized account of some of the most important things you should consider when visiting England. Well done Wolter.
Thanks for pointing out that London isn't the only place in England. I'm from Yorkshire and we never get any Americans coming over, even though there are plenty of amazing cities and towns in our county; like Leeds, Sheffield, York, Wakefield, Doncaster, Scarborough etc
most people dont actually queue for a train in australia at all in my experience. in japan it was a lot better because you were relatively sure youd get on and theres mostly no way you were getting a seat. in london people are quite relaxed with getting on so they would not appreciate someone rushing to take advantage of that.
UK prepping gear it’s probably better not to tell them that then they might try it,so many people get off put when they find out what black pudding is so by calling it black sausage it’s going to be tried more
Actually almost every sausage is covered in pig intestines, that’s the little film thing on it. Still eat some Richmond with my full English though and if you enjoy black pudding just... just why? Back to Transylvania with thee
Driving in London is a nightmare. Drivers are aggressive and impatient and the layout of the streets is a maze. So many restrictions, one way systems, and one way streets it's a real pain until you learn your way around. I would never choose to drive there nor recommend it to anyone.
dude the food that we put in our ovens and microwaves is pure and utter shite, tesco food is trash if anyone is thinking about coming to england try to eat out as often as possible
Can he cram in any more cliches about England? Our weather is bad? Yep, we have rain but you have hurricanes and disasters. Our food is bad? Well I'm sure they can find a Macdonalds to satisfy their culinary delights. Yes we drive on the left, I've driven all over the US and not once did I forget which side of the road I was supposed to be on.
One of the points of the video is to crush some of the stereotypes of Britain that many Americans have. He talks about them in a positive light i.e. the food isn't bad, it doesn't rain all the time. Although I've never understood the food stereotype at all. We're lucky to have embraced cultures from all over the world so the food in Britain is as much Italian, American, Indian, Mexican, European etc as it is anything else. But as far as traditional British food goes, the only people who say the food is bad are those who have never actually tried fish and chips, roast dinners, pies or a full English breakfast (the best breakfast in the world, bar none).
whilst the rest of the world were fannying around for hundreds of years making up new recipes, the British were busy inventing things. Yeah, all of us. :P
Yet again another good 'DON'Ts' video. Though I will say, the 'calling people British' thing can be safer by calling people English, Scottish, Welsh or Irish, if you struggle with accents, just ask and NEVER assume. The term British technically applies to people from England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, though the only people that go by that term are the majority of English people. The Scottish, Welsh and Irish will never want to be called British and the same goes for me, I'm an Englishman and I get pissed off being called a Brit usually by American people. Also, don't drive whilst on the phone, don't be overly loud in a pub, don't get your fish and chips from whetherspoons, take a trip to the coast for the best fish and chips experience!
I don’t think anyones really gonna be pissed at you calling them a Brit. Maybe some patriotic scots or people from souther ireland (which isn’t the UK). Never met a Brit that would be offended being called so.
@@mankind3714I dunno, I'm a British passport holder but I'm English and prefer to be referred to as English rather than British. I have no connection to Welsh or Scottish people and want no connection either.
I'm British. I've just eaten. But when I saw that full English breakfast. It looked really good. Some of us Brits eat a full English at any time time of day. Just don't forget the BROWN sauce!
Minor criticism, more distance between the eggs and the beans. I may want to mix them together but I want that to be my decision. Use the sausage as a breakwater
Most people would refuse to drive in London even if they’re from this country
Agreed on that one. For all it's faults, the transport in London and suburbs is pretty well connected. I am in my early forties and have never learnt to drive (but people still do and I am still the exception). It's only when people move out of the city that they have to really think about getting a car. Depending on where you are in London the traffic, pollution and travel time makes a car prohibitive.
That’s probably because of how many people live there and the shit ton of traffic that comes with that.
I live on the outskirts of London. I have driven in London once. NEVER. AGAIN.
Agreed. I have a "never inside the M25 rule". It's like the perimeter of a destruction derby ring 😀
Although I was born in England, I learned to drive in Australia and have mostly driven in and around Melbourne. When I went back on holiday in the 1970s, all my relatives in England and Wales warned me not to drive in London. So I took their advice, parked the car in a long-term garage and bought a "Red Rover" bus pass. However, once I had to go somewhere where there was no convenient public transport and decided to drive. What a pleasant surprise! The almost unfailing politeness and courtesy of British drivers in an urban setting made driving in London (or any other British city) a breeze. Try driving through Sydney in peak hours if you think London is bad. Where I found the Brits fell down was on the open road - they seemed to leave both their brains and manners at the motorway entrance. Aussies are he opposite.
Also tipping in the UK is completely different we only do it if they deserve it.
Which is almost never.
Also we also have another reason to tip because convinunce
@George sanders....... when I visited the USA we were charged (tip/service charge) pre meal as we were foreigners! The waitress did appologize.
Seriously we barely ever tip in the UK, even if we do it’s just a couple of pounds. When I visited america, this cab driver was terrible, kept driving round in circles and was moody the entire time. When I didn’t wanna tip him he got pissed off. Ended up tipping him 4 dollars but was pissed off like he deserved more? Bruh. Americas tipping culture is crazy.
It's because we expect the employer to pay their employees wages (crazy right) lol
Don't be obnoxiously loud on places like the tube, trains, pubs etc, no one wants to hear your conversation from 14 tables over
Danielle Faulkner the American kids in york are so freaking loud on the buses.. lower your conversation volume like 50% please

As a Brit, my biggest tip, don't waste your entire trip in just London. It's become a bit of a shithole if I'm honest, much better places to visit for authentic England and traditional English values away from London.
trancehi Im a Londoner but especially in the summer I love getting the fuck out of London. There are so many beautiful amazing places even a short train ride away in Kent, Surrey etc
I hear you. I'm from the West Country UK (Somerset, Devon & Cornwall) It's all untouched down here and massively still English, if you know what I'm getting at.
You tourists are welcome to visit Devon, a place of natural beauty but please respect the environment don’t just leave your rubbish on the floor and also be respectful to the locals and we will respect you, and buy you a pint down the pub if you’re a good lad or lass
trancehi the West Country is the best mate still free multiculturalism and the moral chaos that happens in the north and up London
Joe Hooper
I agree and I keep telling people this, it's still beautifully English down here. The Government seem to place all theses immigrants up North and I feel sorry for my fellow Englishman who are now becoming a minority in places like Birmingham and parts of London. I hope the West Country never gets to see any of it.

We put chlorine in swimming pools in the UK, not in chicken.
no the other reason we do it is due to having higher health and safety requirements that help ensure that meat doesnt get litterally covered in s**t during the butchering process, reducing the need for chlorine.
"A report by the EU Scientific Committee on Veterinary Measures, for example, highlighted that the chemical cleaning treatment can be effective at removing food-borne pathogens depending on how it is used. The real fear is that heavily soiled birds may not be sufficiently disinfected, and that relying on chlorine washing could lead to poorer hygiene standards overall.
EU officials believe the food industry should be continually improving hygiene standards in all steps of processing - the “farm to fork” principle, and so have banned chickens washed in chlorine as a deterrent to poor practices. But in the US there are no poultry welfare standards so the process is common. There have also been reports, including undercover video evidence by the Humane Society of the United States, of both inhumane and unsanitary practices being carried out within poultry houses due to a lack of animal welfare regulation."
@Blee regular ecoli out breaks? They come from narsty people who don't wash their narsty dutty wrenk. You cook the chicken to to get rid of micro organisms. We also have the NHS.
@Blee lmao never experienced an e coli break out in my 18 years on being on this planet earth. 😂
@Blee more people die from food poisoning of chicken in the US than the UK. In the UK we have higher standards of animal welfare. It's not perfect but on average it's better than the US. Our chickens live in a cleaner environment so there is less bacteria to start with.
We have something called liver mush in North and South Carolina

We don't eat a "full English breakfast" every day; it's pretty much a heart-attack on a plate; and because it is so unhealthy it is usually limited for a special occasion or when you are on holiday or something.
It's what you often get in a hotel though

I agree, that's just old thinking. Cornflakes is a heart attack breakfast.

Don't eat fish & chips in a pub. Go to a real chippie instead: cheaper and more authentic. And if you want to use two fingers to indicate "two", remember, don't do it with the back of your hand facing the person you're communicating with. That's equivalent to a middle finger!
yes, the chippie is another level of tastiness. I think its the grease they fry it in. its just more tasty
You can’t beat the northern chip shops though 😂 I’m sure they fry it in beef dripping... and the portions/prices are so much better. That’s one of the main things I miss from up north! And the smacks they sell! Thy don’t in the south 😭
Avoid fish and chips in London. Go to Yorkshire
PraxeoLiberty Yorkshire is a bit far to go for fish and chips if you're visiting London 😂
Conway79 lol. My point is that your opinion of fish and chips should not be based on some rancid vegetable oil London version
Yea just a point - the food is WAY better in the UK than in the USA. Please note most USA produce is illegal in the UK because it doesn't meet UK health and safety standards.
A little sample from Mark Twain:
“The Masons gave us a Missouri country breakfast in Missourian abundance, and we needed it. Hot biscuits, hot wheat bread, prettily crossed in a lattice pattern on top, hot corn pone, fried chicken, bacon, coffee, eggs, milk, buttermilk etc. and the world may be confidently challenged to furnish the equal of such a breakfast, as it is cooked in the South.“
And don’t forget the watermelon!

Big hand to all the British tourists because y’all are always a pleasure to stand next to in line, always polite and give us Americans our personal space. Now the WORST tourists and worst offenders when it comes to line jumping are as a general rule from South America. Mostly Argentina. Can’t tell you how close I’ve come to punching one who was literally brushing up against me in line. And they have these damn tour groups of Teenage girls who literally travel in groups of 50-100 and sing group songs really loudly and generally just ruin everyone’s day. And I know their from Argentina because the will literally have the flags all over their shirts and carrying little ones or having them wrapped like blankets. And they will have one family member get in line , and then the entire rest of the family will push through the line past 100 people. And really mankytoes? In what exact way are we less civilized?

Coming from a country that eats deep fried butter on a stick I don't think you have the right to tell us our food is bad. We eat actual food, not fat and greese on a plate.
That's a stereotype, friendo! I don't think I have ever heard of butter on a stick :P
Takertantrum2000 it does exist in america and was very popular. Look it up.
Nikita Lomas i’m sure it does 😭😭😭 but not everyone eats it. a lot of people here eat pretty good food if i do say so myself. especially since america is so diverse, it’s sort of a melting pot of a lot of different people who, in turn make a lot of different foods!
Takertantrum2000 America isn't the only diverse country. The rest of the world actually exists too and everyone else has just as much diversity as the US. Although with what I've seen coming out of the US in terms of how people seem to treat each other there, I dare say everyone else is doing a bit of a better job at being diverse. Diversity means nothing if everyone hates each other and constantly talks shit about everyone else. (Not saying that you do, but in general what I've seen myself coming from americans that I have met, and when I've been to america myself, it may be diverse, but that doesn't mean they all like it and get along)
I just get fed up of this "we're better than all of you" patronizing snooty attitudes that americans have. (Again, not saying its you personally but in general.) I can't tell you how many times I've heard the fucking patronizing speach about the so called 'melting pot' or had someone ask me how it feels to be second class to america. Maybe if the general people of america pulled that shiny silver spoon out of their asses and shut the fuck up saying that america is so amazing, maybe the rest of the world wouldn't have the view that america is a pile of shit? Cause trust me, from the outside looking in, I would never cross that border again if it meant having to talk to or see any of the people. I hope you can understand how patronizing it is. It's probably unintentional, but I've heard that melting pot crap so much that all i hear now when someone says it to me is 'my country is better than yours because there are more people in it' it fucking annoys the shit out of me
Nikita Lomas i’m sorry you’ve had those experiences and honestly i’ve felt and witnessed the same thing from ignorant people over here. america has the potential to be an amazing country but people can’t seem to accept that america isn’t the only place on earth. a lot of that is the media we are given that makes it seem like america is bigger than it is (figuratively). so i definitely see where you’re coming from, and i agree to the fullest lol
obviously like you said, not everyone is like that, but it’s enough to where america has become a very polarizing place to live, especially for
someone like me. i live in washington, d.c.
but purely from a culinary perspective, i’m not saying that we are the only country who has diverse people, so i apologize that i made it seem like i was saying it in that manner. i just think there’s this stereotype that all americans do is drink cheese from a can and eat fried twinkies. i’m not criticizing it tbh-if someone eats that, then as long as they’re happy i’m cool.

About driving: Don't drive in London, especially as a foreign tourist if you're not used to driving on the left. London traffic is far worse than in smaller towns and cities, there are many one-way roads, toll roads, roundabouts and traffic lights. And there's no law on jay-walking; pedestrians can and do cross anywhere they think is safe. In my experience, it's far quicker, cheaper and less frustrating to use the tube (subway). You can even rent a bike, and although I haven't personally tried that in London, I'm sure it would be faster than driving for many journeys.
But by all means, driving is the best option for smaller cities and towns, and pretty much the only practical option for more rural destinations.
And to add a Allday London Travel Card is around £20
I wouldn't reccommend renting a bike in London if you're not used to British roads. Hell, I commute miles to work on a bike but doing a mile and a half between stations in Central London is absolutely hair raising.
Conway79 I love London driving, adrenaline rush !
George no it’s less than £13
I agree with the don’t drive in London thing. I’m a born and bred Brit from the south east and I don’t want to drive in London. I think biking is also risky even if your used it to it so the tube or buses are safer for tourists I feel.

Wow it really annoys me when people say English food is terrible. Most cuisines around the world is influenced by English food from occupation etc especially American food. I don't get where that comes from it's like talking about our teeth that is the most random thing I've ever heard.
Nathan Tisdale the teeth stereotype came from when American troops fought alongside British troops in the horrible conditions in ww2 which meant the British troops teeth were bad, but now we are joint 1st with Germany with the best teeth in the world
I've never understood either. It's ridiculous, our traditional food is great let alone everything else we have.
British cooking is of hugely high quality in most non-chain places now. 30 years ago, not always so much.
It was mainly after WW2 when there was rationing after the war so the food developed a bad reputation because of that.
To an American I can completely understand why they find out food plain/bad. American’s almost always eat out partially due to the cost of ingredients in America making it cheaper to eat out. the food is full of sugar, fat and salt to make it taste better while in Britain we rarely eat out and only in ‘higher class’/fancy restaurants which a lot of tourists may not do. furthermore, Britain our ‘street food’ of Chinese & kebab shop etc is pretty awful, it Britain we mainly eat in, so they don’t experience the same British food we do. Pub food can be pretty hit or miss but once again we have a far ‘duller’ pallet than Americans so we use less salt and sugar, so all food taste way blander to Americans.
EDIT: fixed some grammar
Great review, actually. The most important tip you gave was to look right when you cross the street. I have literally saved two Canadian friends' lives in London. On both occasions, they were about to step out in front of a double decker bus. Of course, the good part is that they are now my slaves ... The only thing I would add about renting a car - you can rent an automatic car. Just tell them ahead of time. Rental companies are becoming better at that. Also - don't drive in London. The public transportation is great, congestion charges will hammer you, there is nowhere to park - the list is endless. But when you go out, you really need a car as public transport outside London is wholly undependable. And pricey.
Who's watching this even though they live in London or England
London is in England bro.
Well I’m from wales which is basically England with a accent
Lmao. No its Welsh with English words
Kriptic Cobra I’m from south England and I’ve been too wales and it’s very different, the people all seem to know each other in Wales.
Nope. Greetings from New Jersey, USA
Brilliant video as always! Just want to point out a few things:
-if you’ve come to England before and you have a round £1 coin. Don’t bother bringing it as it is no longer legal tender, ensure you coin has 12 sides
-people don’t particularly care if your late, they just prefer you not to, English people are constantly late.. a somewhat acceptable late is usually 5-15 minutes.
-Don’t visit just London. I know you brought it up, but I can’t stress it enough. There are some beautiful parts of England. Some of my favs are Cornwall, and where I live, the Cotswolds.
- People in England aren’t as energetic and enthusiastic as Americans, we like to keep ourselves to ourselves, and you need to respect that. Don’t be loud, loud mouthed, or disrespectful to a person, or you’ll probably be on the receiving end of a punch. Swearing in England is a lot more accepted, don’t do it around children, however, that is not acceptable. Also, we don’t count words such as damn as a swear word, however, swear words you don’t have include: bastard, wanker, uckers, sket. Those are not all, just a few.
- finally, if you’re looking for something American (lucky charms for example) expect to pay double, or sometimes triple the price of normal cereal, like rice crispies. An additional note is that there are a lot of American things we don’t have (eg chipotle) however don’t be afraid to eat other places, they may surprise you!
Once again brill video, and I hope this helps somebody!!
LivingSea2 We have Chipotle now. In general though, I'd say avoid any Mexican or TexMex food here. It is usually awful. It is the one cuisine that is genuinely difficult to find decent examples of in London I think.
If you're late make sure you apologise and it'll be fine. Things happen. If you know you're going to be late, call ahead to let the other person know, also apologise.
Say sorry and no one cares.
LivingSea2 since when have uccers and sket been swearwords as one Englishman to another lol
David Mellish I’m not gonna lie I was running out of words to say lol
LivingSea2 I couldn’t disagree with you more
I have a few points to make
1. When you get on a bus, train or tram and someone is waiting to get off you let them off before you get on
2. When you get off a bus say thank you to the bus driver before you get off
Thanks for staying that London doesn't represent the whole of England. I live up North and been to London twice. It's fairly alien place for me and it's the same country.
Nikolai508 yeh it’s weird for me. I live in the midlands (borderline south) and I’ve never really been to any of the bigger cities up north. It’s crazy how you can live in a country this size and not have seen much of it
Nikolai508 I live like an hour from London and it’s alien to me too haha
The food thing is odd. I'd never heard that the UK has a rep for bad food. It's weird because here in England, the general opinion is that America is a great place to visit, but has awful food. But my friend moved from here in London to New York a few years ago and he says that the food is good. Maybe these are just outdated myths.
Yeah. Honestky the food network and all those cooking shows and foodie revolutions have taken hold in so many places around the world that it's getting easier to find really good food in places that "historically" dont have the greatest reputation for cuisine.
Agreed I love haggis fish and chips that stuff
Having lived in NYC for a while, I can say the food in London doesn't come close to comparison. I also love international cuisine.
Food in America’s biggest cities is some of the best in the world
The bad rep is from the 50s when rationing is still in place I think the food was horrible then and that is where the stereotype comes from
Don't bring your guns over..
Aw, you're no fun, :/
Every party needs a pooper...
Fuck this guy. Bring as many as you can. We need them since our government decided to emasculate, then brutally rape us.
Ha ha
@@benningtonmarkbrandonwesle9092
Guns are not needed in UK. We don't want mass shootings like the US.
I live in Manchester and i cant stress enough how right he is about London not being England, the atmospheres are very different and me being a northener is like a fish out of water visiting London, also in manchester, a pint doesn't cost you £5 lol
I came to the comments to say this but you beat me to it, also seeing an American with a picture in Urbis gardens next to the football museum made me happy
Yeah but why would anyone come for a holiday to England and want to visit a craphole town in the midlands?
I’ll pass on traveling to England.
Mate our food’s class we just don’t give ourselves obesity
60% of the UK is classified as overweight...
@@ThePaperCreater ...which is slightly better than 99.99% of the USA...
27% of the UK population is obese, compared to around 33% in America. England has the highest obesity rate in Europe. It’s a shame that these facts aren’t made obvious to the public.
And boom. we made gorden ramsey. What are those pricks thinkin
Depends where you go.... like anywhere, there are good places, GREAT places to each. But there are also places that will give you the shits for life 😂
British kids are taught to look both ways before crossing the roads. Good advice 👍
Isn't that everywhere?
@@higgs135 Apprently not. Did you not watch the video?
And all of them remebered that.*
I thought it was everywhere too that’s what I was taught what kind of patents don’t tell there children check both ways! Lol
In case anyone's really feeling a GTA vibe that day
Rule number one. Go somewhere other than London, please!
you have so much to live for!!
Go to a Nottingham pub at night and say you are all full of bollox they will turn to you and treat you with the warmth of English hospitality
If you look in the right places, you can always find good quality food in England. We also have a better understanding of something we call PORTION SIZE ;)
Well bring me 2 whiner.
Chip shops and supermarket cafes sell English food, anywhere else sells universal food
Yeah you don’t give me enough food 😡

Just to add to the point you make about renting a car - don't drive in London. It's pointless. The traffic is horrendous, you can't park anywhere, and if you do manage to find a parking space, it's either a 3 hour maximum stay, or it's £30+. Only rent a car if you're staying outside the capital city.
Roundabouts are easy - just get in the correct lane (left lane for left turns & over, right lane for right turns & around), give way (yield) to traffic on the roundabout & go when there's a gap.
Liam S you just explained roundabouts better than my shite driving instructor did, thanks
Liam S if they've never done a spiral roundabout before that could fuck 'em up 😂
giving way to traffic on the roundabout *is* giving way to cars on the right...
markylon a car waiting to join a roundabout isn't on the roundabout though, is it?
Yep, London has pretty good public transport. Get yourself an oyster card. If you're on the tube or train then tap the card reader going in and tap it going out. If you take the bus only tap it on your way in or you'll get charged twice!
As an English native my main advice would be, for the love of God: DONT.MENTION.BREXIT!
Agreed
LOL!!! Yes, very good tip there! =)))
No, just mention Trump instead ………...
No such thing as an English native, Uk is a small island
You talk out of your Azz
Thank you so much for explaining that London is not the only place in England to visit!
I've only been to England once, but I am headed back this summer. Avoided London entirely. Won't even fly in there. Landed in Bristol last time and drove to Dorset. This time it's Newquay and an obvious visit to Cornwall.
A queue is not just a line, it also exists when you can’t see one: keep track of who is waiting when you arrive and the next couple of people who arrive after you. They will and pushing in is still extremely rude and you can still be called up on it.
Proper fish and chips is delicous
English people bang about fish and chips when it’s just fish in batter with chips. English food is disgusting. Ooh mashed potato and gravy amazing.
Delicious fish in batter
new zealand fisg and chips beats all, mainly cause new zealand has some pretty nice fish
Correct
One basic as fuck dish, fish and chips lmao. That's the best the UK has produced in terms of traditional food!? Laughable
Oi oi! I can easy spot those weatherspoons plates anywhere!
Maisy Eggleston im the same bc I work for them 😂
I know! The blue and white faux Wedgwood ones.
I love how he says you can get a brolly for a fiver, I got one free from Greggs the other day cuz someone left it and it was chucking it down.
That is the most realistic english sentence that I have ever read.
Gregg give you free brolly? Where he?

As an Englishman I just want to say that this is the FIRST video I've seen about my country in which I agree with every point made! Also, I'm actually from York, so it's great to hear my wonderful, historic home city get a mention rather than the usual London obsession I usually come across.
Nobody mentions northern crapholes because people who comes here for a holiday want to visit London.
@@KnightoftheLord1 Bless. Did you get daddy to help you with the long words? 😘
@@andy6576 No I got my housekeeper to do it.
I'm from new york lol. York and "York" 😂
But I've seem some videos of York and it looks so nice and somewhat "cozy" like I want to eat some soup there or some yorkshire pudding lol. The UK has really cute villages.
Great Video! There's just a couple of things I'd like to add;
- The £1 coins as seen at 5:11 are no longer legal tender, so make sure you have the 12-sided £1s
- Don't expect to get free plastic bags from supermarkets (like in the US), there is a charge of 5p for the single use ones, or 10p for the thicker reusable ones.
Actually the thicker ones are now replacing the thin ones, and are 5p. Both my local sainsbo's and tesco's have done it, it seems mainly in tesco local.
Rick M yh the co-op reusables are 10p whilst the shit ones are 5p.
Also don't come round ere with that old paper money, we buy things with credit cards and recycled plastic bag money ere! lol
Where I live that charge was only in effect for a week, now nobody gives a shit: people working in super markets, corner shops etc.
People aren’t polite they’re just sarcastic but Americans don’t understand sarcasm

Just a note, if you want the best food, like pizza, go to itlay but if you want good food from everywhere, go to London, go to Manchester
Wait it isn't called a crumpet outside England?????????
A crumpet is a crumpet it is not an English Muffin. Guy doesn’t have a clue.

As a Brit this video is very accurate, listen to this man. Especially in regards to London NOT being the be-all-see-all. There's so much else to see outside of London.
The reason we drive on the left is historical and ergonomic in its origins. When travelling by horseback before the existence of motor vehicles people passed by each other on the left as the majority of people were right handed and thus wore their swords on their left hip. By riding their horse to the left they were able to draw their sword from their left hip and bring it to bear in their right hand for defence against wood be attackers
Also, majority are right handed so it makes more sense to have the steering wheel in the right hand and the gears in the left, thus right hand drive cars, thus drive on the left
VideoDeadGaming .... emmm no ! all single seater racing cars( in the uk and the world ) have there gearstick on the right hand side , your dominant hand changes gear instinctively, leaving your brain to concentrate on steering.. Just like playing guitar... right hand strums guitar, left hand picks the notes.... duh !
MMG_DOHNUT07 true story 😊
ste lamo yeh single seater racing cars no one drives them that I've seen so that doesn't mean anything
Wozzmatic
You can draw your sword no matter what side you rode on
Also it depends which side your attacker is coming from
“People in England are extremely polite” 😂😂
Notice I made a little note on the title card at that one ;)
I didn't find a title card anywhere. I checked using both my phone and my Mac.
That is so funny because where I come from, no one is polite, they are rude and swear a lot.
Nope everone is either is a posh arse snob or and roadman/chav
No inbetween
Which england are you talking about?
The poor reputation that British food has in the US is, in my opinion, the result of what returning US troops reported in 1945.
During WW2 the British were subject to severe rationing - lives weren't risked importing unnecessary food items such as tropical fruit and vegetables - we lived on potatoes, cabbage, root crops and some imported stuff such as powdered egg and spam. Many people grew their own vegetables and kept chickens - meat was a luxury usually reserved for 'the man of the house.'
In addition the amount of food served per portion was even smaller than those of today - we do not eat mounds of food. Rationing included everybody, from the King down - of course there was a black-market, but rationing ensured everybody got something to eat. Sweets (candy) and chocolate were amongst the last items to come off rationing in the 1950's.
My mother told me that her sister came home shortly after sweets had come off ration and told my gran that she had been in shop where a woman had bought ten pounds* worth of sweets - gran said that couldn't be right, she must have been buying ten pound (weight) My aunt, said no mum, I saw her paying.
*The average 'working wage' was somewhere between £3 and £5 per week at the time. It's been often claimed that the average Briton was healthier during the war years than we are now.

Are you really so damned ignorant? You'll NEVER learn to appreciate another culture if you're too stupid to listen.
That is awful comment to make. Why be so rude when someone was trying to inform you. The truth seems something you can't take.
I had some very good food when visting London and other places about the isle.
@laser325 all of those things I love to eat... What would be the point of going to Britain and not tasting them to make your own choice, there would be no point of going to the UK otherwise!
@laser325 The foods you listed are pretty good, and from the sound of it I'd guess you live on McDonald's, so I'm not at all sure you're qualified to talk about what's crap or not.
I’ve noticed a lot of England residents speaking about how it’s mostly British people in the comment section, but I’m proud to say, as an American, I am actually using this video :).
All i can offer is 1. Fish, chips and spicy curry sauce is a delight. 2. If you're going to stay for a while for gods sakes, dont do it in London. Hang out somewhere beautiful like the Lake District.
The lake district for the countryside and the Northeast for the beaches and countryside

Other places to visit in the U.K:
Cornwall - Rugged coast and quaint fishing ports
Cotswolds - Some quaint villages and lovely countryside
Lincoln - Fantastic small city
Scotland - So much to see, beautiful highlands and great Lochs
Wales - Again some lovely scenery there
Look for places off the tourist trail. My local city Worcester will give you a great feel of a traditional English city. But please don’t just stick to London. I feel it’s good to spend 2-3 days there, but then go and visit some of the rest of the UK
Found out later in life that I am half Brit. I would like to see it someday soon. Meet some long lost cousins and look at your beautiful countryside.

Im glad you mentioned London isn't England! The times ive met a foreigner and ask them if theyve been UK before, then they reply 'YEH! ..ive been London.' And make out as if that is all of England. My god.
London is not the real England; go Midlands, Yorkshire or the Lake District! Theyre brill and way different! Plus use/visit the National Trust, so many places to go and see outside of London.
How about Lincolnshire that is a good place to visit if you want history the cathedral and the castle a fun fact about Lincoln cathedral has some part have been found throughout the building
I'm from Australia but live in the USA now and have visited England many times. This was a very well summarized account of some of the most important things you should consider when visiting England. Well done Wolter.
Thanks for pointing out that London isn't the only place in England. I'm from Yorkshire and we never get any Americans coming over, even though there are plenty of amazing cities and towns in our county; like Leeds, Sheffield, York, Wakefield, Doncaster, Scarborough etc
There are countries where jumping a queue is acceptable behaviour?! I'm outraged! ;)
Seriously, though... Manners cost nothing.
Try China and the Chinese, then you'll know what we are talking about.
Try Indonesia, and go to the ticket office at a train staion there...
Try Croatia. Its fucking annoying
most people dont actually queue for a train in australia at all in my experience. in japan it was a lot better because you were relatively sure youd get on and theres mostly no way you were getting a seat. in london people are quite relaxed with getting on so they would not appreciate someone rushing to take advantage of that.
People in France don't queue for trains, everyone is pushing each other so it's annoying
The "black sousage" is actually called black pudding it is made from blood and intestines.
UK prepping gear it’s probably better not to tell them that then they might try it,so many people get off put when they find out what black pudding is so by calling it black sausage it’s going to be tried more
Actually almost every sausage is covered in pig intestines, that’s the little film thing on it. Still eat some Richmond with my full English though and if you enjoy black pudding just... just why? Back to Transylvania with thee
+Geekz 360 Sorry, we don't like it in Transylvania eather.

'P's and Q's means "please" and "thank you"...' - It doesn't. You're just as wrong.
Driving in London is a nightmare. Drivers are aggressive and impatient and the layout of the streets is a maze. So many restrictions, one way systems, and one way streets it's a real pain until you learn your way around. I would never choose to drive there nor recommend it to anyone.
If you are only in London, for the love of god do not drive. Take the underground or bus. Or rent a bicycle.
Hm, renting a bicycle?? Yeah, the idea is good, but even for Dutchies (the most experienced cyclists) it is a dead wish...
Marc van der wee It’s ok if you stick to back streets but I yes I agree, compared to the Netherlands, cycling infrastructure here is appalling.
Better idea. Sod London, just go to Manchester instead
Or better still get out of London.

Can he cram in any more cliches about England? Our weather is bad? Yep, we have rain but you have hurricanes and disasters. Our food is bad? Well I'm sure they can find a Macdonalds to satisfy their culinary delights. Yes we drive on the left, I've driven all over the US and not once did I forget which side of the road I was supposed to be on.
Scumspawn ***** that's the only thing right with America.
One of the points of the video is to crush some of the stereotypes of Britain that many Americans have. He talks about them in a positive light i.e. the food isn't bad, it doesn't rain all the time.
Although I've never understood the food stereotype at all. We're lucky to have embraced cultures from all over the world so the food in Britain is as much Italian, American, Indian, Mexican, European etc as it is anything else. But as far as traditional British food goes, the only people who say the food is bad are those who have never actually tried fish and chips, roast dinners, pies or a full English breakfast (the best breakfast in the world, bar none).
Yes, and British cheeses are IMHO the best in the world!
Cat Daddy preach it
whilst the rest of the world were fannying around for hundreds of years making up new recipes, the British were busy inventing things. Yeah, all of us. :P
Yet again another good 'DON'Ts' video. Though I will say, the 'calling people British' thing can be safer by calling people English, Scottish, Welsh or Irish, if you struggle with accents, just ask and NEVER assume. The term British technically applies to people from England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, though the only people that go by that term are the majority of English people. The Scottish, Welsh and Irish will never want to be called British and the same goes for me, I'm an Englishman and I get pissed off being called a Brit usually by American people.
Also, don't drive whilst on the phone, don't be overly loud in a pub, don't get your fish and chips from whetherspoons, take a trip to the coast for the best fish and chips experience!
