It's amazing to see cursive writing! I am sad they don't teach kids to write anymore. Oh well.

I saw an actor in "Sink the Bismark" remark about "WREN" not wearing her jumper and it wasn't really that hard to figure out.

@@mikeyoung9810 As a project in my Jr/Sr HS., Home Economics Sewing class, I made a jumper. I think my Mom who was a Home Economics major said that was the easiest. Who was she kidding? :) Forced compliance. She ultimately felt sorry for me I guess, and gave me a hand. Whew, can’t believe I actually passed that portion of my class. Baking, was more my thing :D.

So don't leave us hanging, was it the hotter one

Well you can never be sure lmao

It could possibly be Scott Thompson

This is also the case when we misplace commas.

Awww, that’s so sweet! We happen to be especially partial to a British accent 😂

you’re exotic you’re gonna be treated differently

I have a few British friends that I met while deployed in the Army that I still keep in contact with. We always have fun giving each other the business! Insults fly back and forth and we all laugh!

That's very nice of you!! Glad you enjoyed it here!! Hopefully you can visit again soon!!

Haha yep! It’s a bum bag

Silky Tp I remember being on the road behind Charing Cross Station with a local. I said “look at all the bums”. He quickly corrected me and said they were “tramps”, and not to say that again. (In London, a bum is a butt and a tramp is a street person, vagrant).

@@chicagodaddy1 Exactly. They call a fanny pack a bum pack. Which is also interesting....LOL

@@chicagodaddy1 and in the US a tramp is a promiscuous woman.

I hear going out for a cigarette takes on new meanings in Britain. One must be careful about what one puts in their mouth, after all. 😬

What do you prefer in the US? In Britain?

somehow i can see you not hugging. stiff upper lip and all. do you love black adder?? how about. dr who? i have been watching dr who for ages..

@@kathleenpayne564 I think Lawrence hugs his wife because, after all she's born in the USA. Personally, I was born in Pennsylvania by a first generation Italian mother so I surely have the hugging gene; relatives, co-workers, almost anyone who will stand for it. And I talk to everybody but not with my hands like Italians do.

Same thought!

Wait, so that comes from the _English_ side of my family? Weird, I would have guessed the German side.

allan lanktree I like this one!

It's also like my friends living in Chicago and California think it's the strangest thing for us (since we live in a small town near the Florida/Alabama state line) to have to drive 45 miles to get to our medical appointments. Or, when I was still working, to have an hour and half one way drive. It's just normal for us.

Was told that one by a European when I lived there many years ago it is absolutely true (an ancient archeological find had just been made not too far from where I lived) Along that line I found that when you say it is 1500 miles that means little, so I began to describe distances in Berlin to Moscow units(hint it is less than a thousand miles ;-0

This is spot on.

Exactly! Hey, allen, lend me £10,000. I'll pay you back in just 200 years! ;)

That is amazing tho. The odds of someone actually being able to register that you speak differently.

That's funny! I once caught a Glaswegian off-guard when I knew where he was from. It's the only accent I can readily identify.

It's like Hotel California, you can check out but you can never leave. . . Ominous.

I had planned to go to Oklahoma and Colorado to see my sister and then my friend on the way back to my Rocky Mountain State, but with COVID-19 and my suspectibilty to getting sick easily, since like forever; there was NO way I was going on a possible flying petridish of COVID-19. NOPE!!

We do that here.....

True, Laurence can visit but he has to return. We LOVE him. He is a lovely, regular chap with a lovely accent.

It's our cunning plan!

Seconded. I'm still convinced that had to be a joke. Much as I love Laurence he can't even manage a proper-sounding "y'all." ;)

I’m from London.. I have a cockney accent, and some numpty thought I was from New Orleans. Some folks just live in bubbles or under rocks.

As a fellow Southerner, I was also like, WTF??? I have known quite a number of Brits in my life, so I can guess with about 90% accuracy the general area their accent comes from, so that seems bizarre to me. Maybe people who don't get out much? I dunno. Weird.

McFlingleson Thank you for bringing me Even Williams, I no longer Like jack because of it.

SirStoneyOfBow It might be they got cockney and Cajun mixed up. Cajun is kind of like cockney

How do you pronounce Grimbsy? Don't know if I am just hearing it wrong, but it sounded like he pronounced it Grims-bee is this correct?

@@harleyretherford6329 Very close! Locals tend to shorten the 'bee' to a short 'be' to my ear.

@Debbie M I think they mean the difference between a long and short "e" sound. So "bee" is how you think, but "be" is said like "bet" but without the -t.

The correct pronunciation of Grimsby is 'Grim-bo'

@@krisc2535 The actual pronunciation is "Grim Hole", which it is, and is also the reason why anyone who can leave, does...

If I was to ask that, I'd mean it more like - does it put him at unease, or is he getting on well enough? Britain can be hard on Americans, and America can be hard on the British, depending on where we're raised. So asking that, I'm in a way asking him, is there something we can maybe do to help? America is huge and the answers depend on where we ask the question from.

When people ask me that, I let them know what I really think.

Just where do people come from who have wet humor?

A jumper is similar to a pinafore. Don’t know if they still use that in England.

Was watching Hugh Bonneville on Graham Norton and they were referring to his jumper he wore on another show. Took me awhile they were talking about his sweater.

Eight years of Catholic grammar school uniform jumpers is the reason I will NEVER wear anything in navy blue.

A "jumper" in NYC refers to an idiot on the rooftop threatening to dive off.

Your way of describing a jumper is a bit complex. I thought a jumper was overall shorts or a one price body suit, onesie as some people call it ... I've seen both boys & girls wear them depending on how they are made. In the south everyone wears them in summer.. I would call what a girl wears a romper

I don't think anyone actually thinks the US is a small country, but I think people just forget just how large it is when speaking casually. I recall one night playing games with a few friends and one of them (Italian) says something suggesting that we would potentially get together sometime with his cousin (In the Southern US). The 2 of us US guys kind of laughed because I'd have to drive further than the length of Italy to get to his cousin in the South and then the guy in Texas is even further west from the guy in the South than that distance.

@@Mode-Selektor I'm in Oregon, and I have a good mate that lives in Croydon (greater London) and he mentioned during one of our phone chats how he fancied having one of his cars sent across the pond and driving from coast to coast. He asked how long it would take. He thought I was having him on at first. He's also a *huge* WWII buff, so he asked about going out to Pearl Harbor. I said sure, we could do a short stay reasonably cheaply. "How about Guam? Can we go to Midway?" I said, "Marcus, you don't have the slightest idea how far that is, do you?"

Ah yes! Once 'they' get on this side of the pond, they come to like the regular Americans.

@@gg-eo6ez I was warned exactly of that.. 'Dont get shot' etc expecting my life expectancy to drop to plummet as soon as I got off the plane at LAX. To be fair the American education system leaves a lot to be desired.. You get credits for just turning up FFS. You can get extra credits if the teacher likes you.

@Nicky L it just comes from customer service, plain and simple. America "invented" customer service and they go full-hog with it.

British person here. I have to say out of the 30+ countries I have been to, I found Americans the most hospitable people I have spent time with. And that isn't because we share the same language, I've came across some lovely people from Indonesia and Taiwan all but to name a few, but there is just something about the openness of Americans and how they engage with people from the outside. I remember going to a bar in Milwaukee and I said to a girl in the smoking area "excuse me, do you have a lighter?" her face just lit up and she replied "oh my God, what is that accent?" and a few minutes later I'm spending the rest of my evening with her and all her friends. I know that could happen anywhere, but it definitely wasn't a one off. Some Americans give their country a hard time sometimes by complaining a bit too much, but it really is a wonderful nation.

@Nicky L After I retired, I got a job at a home improvement store, and no it wasn't Home Depot or Lowes. We were required to ask customers if they needed help, and to be on hand if they did. One of the employees in the plumbing dept. was caught on camera deliberately moving away from customers, and was warned. When he was spotted again (he knew about the cameras!) He was fired. Our customer support was the number one reason people shopped with us, and the number one complaint from customers in other stores. So your pestering is the employee doing his job. Be polite and say "no, and thanks for asking". Employees hate it when customers get rude!

Tyce Light I also grew up in the Chicago area. I am scared to guess where people are from, because I have guessed Australia for people from New Zealand, and they get offended!😳

@@MagentaOtterTravels "Six" is a shibboleth to differentiate Australians from New Zealanders. The Aussies pronounce it as "seex" and the Kiwis pronounce it as "six," more or less, with the short "I" sound.

RenShiWu I hear “suhx” for the Kiwi 6!

Magenta Otter Travels Often I’m asked “Is that a Canadian accent I hear?” It’s the old adage: an American doesn’t mind being asked if they’re Canadian, but woe to any who reverses that! LOL

@@tycelight Really, the go-to assumption is not American? There being 10 times as many Americans as Canadians, I would be surprised if any American was assumed to be Canadian. Similar to how (I imagine), an Austrian would be taken for a German or a New Zealander would be taken for an Australian because Germany and Australia are more prominent than the smaller countries. Are you from the northern Midwest? I can see similarities between, say, a Minnesotan accent and a Canadian accent. An American can tell that a Canadian is a Canadian pretty readily once the telltale words come out (shedule? prohcess?), but I wouldn't think the subtleties were apparent to non-North Americans. Having an American vocalize zee (versus "zed") is the quickest, easiest way to out an American.

To be fair, Oprah is one in 327 million Americans. The Queen is only one in 66 million Britons. As a population-based statistical calculation, a given Briton is about five times more likely to know the Queen than a given American is to know Oprah. By land area the odds are even more slanted in a Briton's favor, since 40 Britains could fit within the United States (7 in Alaska alone). So sure, the odds are astronomically small, but far less astronomically small than we're used to in our own lives. Also, we do the same thing with fellow Americans. "Oh, you're from Delaware? Do you know Aubrey Plaza?"

BradyPostma 72 million to be a little more precise.

Anyone who is familiar with country music is also familiar with Loretta Lynn. Loretta is one of country music's biggest stars and she has sold millions of records but she has never tried to hide the fact that she is from the mountains of Kentucky and if you have seen the movie, Coal Miner's Daughter, you have some idea of the poverty in which she was raised. She is, as we say in the south, as southern as cornbread, and she has the southern accent that goes along with her roots. A rather smart alecky reporter once asked her, "Loretta, do you think you would have accomplished more fame and fortune and climbed higher in the music industry if you didn't have that accent?" Now Loretta could have told him that she had reached such a pinnacle in the music industry that there really wouldn't have been much higher that she could have climbed. She could have reminded him of all the awards she has won and pointed out the times when she won "Female Vocalist of the Year" and even "Entertainer of the Year". Being a kind person, she didn't put this bozo down as low as she could have put him. So to his question about the possibility that her southern accent had kept her from being all she could be, she simply smiled at him and said, "Whut ac-ceent?" And BTW, the name of that rude reporter escapes me and in fact I am not even 100% sure whether it was a male or female but I will NEVER forget the name of Loretta Lynn!

@Heywood Jablome Uh, I live in Oregon. You are wrong. Everyone has, by definition, an accent. If you speak, you have an 'accent'. It is relative.

Everybody who talks has an accent

I once accompanied the proprietor of the b & b at which I was staying to their local pub and at one point he laughed and said how funny it was to hear me use British English with my accent. Feeling cheeky I replied in a bewildered tone, "Accent? What accent?"

What a great story! Thanks for sharing!

What did he mean by "the sky is bigger here" just asking?

I swear the sky is bluer here than in Europe. Especially in Texas.

Not sure if you asked specifically for British people or immigrants in general. In case it’s the later, I don’t mind any questions that are curious and unassuming. Like things about our national dishes or music. If you were asking about British people then ignore this 🤣

@@alejandraclevesmorales1741 were are originally from?

With a decent ear for accents, they're very different, but British enunciation actually has a weird amount in common with southerner enunciation. There's a good video floating around about it but I can't remember what channel it's on

Also, some people are just remarkably terrible at determining the origins of accents.

@@ItsAsparageese there is a small section in Virginia where the people actually do speak with an English accent still. I'm from Virginia Beach, so I've got that Tidewater accent.🙂

ecclestonsangel my sister lives in Virginia Beach, but she grew up in Minnesota with a best friend from New Jersey (?) by way of Australia. Then after high school she went to a specialized field of study in Santa Monica where she was in class with lots of foreign students. Her speech pattern is such an amalgam that even people a good ear for accents have asked her “where are you from?”

Speech in parts of Appalachia is closer to Elizabethan English than what is spoken in England today.

Definitely go to Banff if you ever get the chance. It's beautiful

I'd say in my usage it's a polite "what do you want". I answer the phone with hello, and if it's a friend, I'll say "What's up?".

pscheidt I agree... it’s stunningly beautiful!

There is a world of difference between peoples in the north and south in the U.S., which is delineated by the Mason-Dixon line, ie the northern border of Maryland and Pennsylvania.

My friend Bob, who lives near Boston, said to me, "The weather's not the only thing that's cold in Massachusetts."

The word "Masshole" exists for a reason. I agree that the South and the Midwest are the nicest parts of the United States (I'm not from either region, so I'm not biased). Since foreigners tend to go places in America where the nice people aren't (New York, Florida, the Bay Area), I think they might mistake all Americans for those particular Americans. Similar to traveling abroad; I think your average Briton, Frenchman, and German is nicer than the ones you'll find in London, Paris, and Berlin, respectively.

RenShiWu San Franciscans used to be known for their friendliness, but then people from all over moved there to make 💵💵💵💵💵💵💵.com, and many of us were priced out of the place we called home and forced to move elsewhere-not that I’m bitter, or anything!

@@MagentaOtterTravels Yes, there are a lot of British accents, but the Aussie accent doesn't sound like them. That was my point ☺

There are a lot of American accents too. We can hear a Canadian speak and instantly know they're not American, but I doubt other English speakers around the world could do the same. It comes from familiarity.

Spot on. Great Britain was originally the name for the island: When England Wales form a political union with Scotland in 1707, it became the natural name for the new sovereign state. When the UK was expanded to include Ireland in 1800, it became the "United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland"; since the partition of Ireland in 1921, it has been "... and Northern Ireland". "Britain" on its own tends to be used to talk about the UK, three crown dependencies and the fourteen overseas territories.
