Bathrooms are far too small for a washing machine

@speleokeir 3 жыл бұрын

The washing machine in the kitchen is due to the fact that much of our housing stock is very old and built before mod cons like electricity, central heating and hot water (or even running water in some cases). These things were added later and water was installed in the kitchen. Then when washing machines became widely available this was the only place you could install them as that's was the only room with water. Additionally many of our homes are small and it's often the only place where there's room for a washing machine. e.g. I live in a two-up-two-down terrace house (two down stairs rooms and two upstairs rooms) built in 1910. The small kitchen and bathroom are tacked onto the back of the house and are the only rooms with a water supply. Therefore the washing machine is in the kitchen because there's nowhere else for it to go. I don't own a tumble drier or dishwasher because there's no room for them. This is a very common set up. However modern detached homes in Britain will usually have a utility room.

The most common accent among young working class people in London today is MLE [Multicultural London English] which is heavily influenced by the black community, particularly those of Jamaican heritage. It is a 'closed mouth' accent, meaning that the lips hardly part in speech and it uses slang expressions such as 'bro', 'cuz', 'fam' [close friends] 'innit' [isn't it], 'ja-no-wad-da-mean' [do you know what I mean?] and so on. The word 'like' is used as a filler in most sentences. Interestingly, it has taken the glottal stop from Cockney, so a speaker of MLE will say bo-'-le [bottle] and bu-'-er [butter] just like East-Enders always did. As for Cockney, it is rarely heard in London now as most of the original white working-class Londoners who spoke it moved out of the capital to Kent and Essex during the last 40 years of the 20th century. This huge demographic shift is rarely talked about, but has changed London forever. If you want to hear Cockney spoken today, you would have to travel to Southend or Rochester.

@fullfacility 3 жыл бұрын

This sounds like pulling your leg at first hearing but it's a historical fact that Britain's rise to power as a state and empire was directly due to tea-drinking. In a nutshell, in centuries past drinking contaminated water was the source of most deaths. Drinking tea required boiled water which killed the germs. Britain's population thus grew more quickly that that of non-tea-drinking nations on the continent which in turn lead to greater power. In particular, London became the largest city on earth in the 19th. century because of this. This sounds bizarre but I've watched emminent historians on T.V. documentaries explain it in great detail.

@JeffCreates 3 жыл бұрын

"You alright" means many things. It can mean what it says, but it usually means "hello" or "hey". Quite often it just means "Basic greeting of pleasantness without encouraging additional conversation". Pronunciation is usually different to the questioning, concerned "you alright?", and is really pronounced "yorright?" Standard acceptable responses are the mirrored "yorright", or maybe "not so bad thanks, you?" - if it is understood that only a small amount of syllables are sanctioned in the reply. You are still not actually asking how the person is here. Acceptable responses also include "yes mate, you?", or to particularly nip the conversation in the bud, get away from the "is it a question or not" by replying with the elonged "more-nin" (good morning). Even "how are you" is misleading as a question if it immediately follows an initial greeting (such as "good morning"). Probably the most straightforward "i am genuinely enquiring as to your health or status" greeting is "are you ok mate?" or similar. On the country thing. It comes from pride really. A Scottish person may be happy to be called British - as it's factually accurate, but they would absolutely not be happy to be called English. Likewise, Welsh, Irish and English. If in doubt, start with "British". If you get smells of moisture from your washing machine - there is something wrong with it! Wash your clothes and then immediately take your clothes somewhere else to dry. Piers Morgan is an absolute bellend. Whether you agree with the words currently coming out of his mouth, just remember all the things he's done in the past. He's scum.

I believe that only 5-7% of the land of Great Britain has been built on. Assuming I have my facts right. Almost every 25 miles seems to have a different accent. I believe there may have been a study that proved that to be the case. The UK is a sovereign state of countries. Which basically means its a country of countries. England - country Scotland - country Wales - country Northern Ireland - Province of the UK (can be argued it's a country) Republic of Ireland - country Britian - England and Wales Great Britain - England, Scotland and Wales United Kingdom - England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland British Isles - England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland, Republic of Ireland and alot of small islands (far too many to name) Commonwealth - Countries that were once called colonies or dominions.

Everything that every native claims is unique to their country applies to every other English speaking country. The most common misconception is they are the ones that are 'taking the mickey', or 'taking the piss'. We all do it. Some more than others. Here is an anecdote of why the Irish do it most.

I remember my brother telling me about a report a few years back on British accents (I haven't lived in the UK for decades), which said the same thing. Accents in general are getting weaker, except the Liverpudlian accent, which is apparently more pronounced than ever. We're both from Liverpool, needless to say....

In 1603 Queen Elizabeth I died, having had no children. James VI of Scotland was the closest relation to Elizabeth and was invited to come and rule England as well, as James I of England. Thus Scotland and England became united under a single king.

The United Kingdom is a constitutional Monarchy comprising the island of Great Britain - the largest of the islands in the archipelago and Northern Ireland, which is located on the second largest island in the archipelago - the island of Ireland. In addition to that the United Kingdom is divided in to the Four Home Nations of England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland or Ulster (as some people call it), three of the four have devolved legislatures and governments, three different jurisdictions with four different flags and four different capitals, but unified by one Monarch, one legislature and one Government under one flag with one capital. I don't see what is so confusing about that... *Tip*: Never use the term England to describe the whole of the United Kingdom that will cause grave offence and may end in an unplanned trip to A&E (ER)!

On the front of our Passports it says ‘United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland’. It’s simple really, when Scotland joined up with England and Wales in the early 18th century it became known as Greater or Great Britain. Just like the outlying areas around London are called ‘Greater London’. Northern Ireland is not a part of Great Britain as it is on a separate island. So it became part of the United Kingdom, this is the inclusive name of the four nations. Ireland itself is a part of the British Isles but they don’t like to refer themselves as such. British is an inclusive name unlike English or Scottish etc. Aussies greet each other with G’day, whether they are having one or not. It’s the same here, in France they do something similar when they add ça va to the end of Bonjour.

I'm certain we had fairy bread when I was a child but we didn't call it that. We also had sugar sandwiches. Another favourite was banana and sugar sarnies Still love banana sandwiches even now but without the sugar. My real favourite though was condensed milk sandwiches. Bliss !!! For savoury sarnies we had lard and dripping and sometimes fish paste. If we had someone come to tea we would have tinned pink salmon sandwiches. We felt VERY posh on those days. A lot of accents etc come from the many invasions over the centuries. We had the Romans, Saxons, Vikings, Normans etc to name but a few. After invasion many invaders married and stayed, adding new words and sounds to that area. Hence the difference in speech even within a short geographical area.

Part of the name problem is Geography v Politics. The British Isles include Ireland but Great Britain does not. The United Kingdom takes Britain and adds Northern Ireland to it. The UK is the country, at least officially according to the UN. England and Scotland were countries before the union. Wales was a Principality (hence the Prince of Wales) rather than a country - but don't tell the Welsh that.

Is that why electric showers sell so well (in the UK)?? Every ratty tenant property has one.

@oz25 3 жыл бұрын

@@Newtube_Channel Yes, a bit of a contradiction isn't it. Electric showers are popular as they give almost instant hot water where the central heating system (normally gas or oil fired) that heats the rest of the hot water and radiators in the house can sometimes be slow to heat large volumes of water. Never actually heard of anyone being electrocuted whilst in the shower myself - one assumes designed to be safe. My own 'ratty tenant property' has one!. I think building regs/H&S do not allow plugs in bathrooms in case someone drops their hair dryer whilst in the bath or similar and kill themselves. Does this happen elsewhere in the world where they have plugs/sockets in bathrooms one wonders? I remember seeing TV shows/murder mysteries in the'80s where someone would be murdered by throwing such appliances, such as electric heaters, at people while in the bath ! xxx
