I’m English but my mams, mam was Irish. I thought the Irish were so nice even got invited to a random persons wedding while I visited Ireland.

No real Irish, would like their assaulters

Like wise with Irish people, my father was born in Wexford but I'd never been. I took a holiday for a couple of weeks to see the town and was very warmly welcomed, people are really nice.

Like you Dunkirk joke. ✌️😉

We went the other way

Only thing left is talking about and complaining about the weather and they're official Brits.

@@ciskoshuggs822 don’t forget called idiots wankers and going to Gregs for a pastie

I really is, isn't it? It's so important that we take stock of the things we are blessed with!

@@ryanmarshall3640 - seriously? you felt the need to confirm to the world what a massive bellend you are? Congratulations - goal achieved, bellend.

@@ryanmarshall3640

We had to implement the metric system when joining the Eu, but the older brits didn’t want to change so hence the reason for both 😂 I use imperial tho I’ve no idea about the metric

I’m British, and I like my driving distances in miles, I weigh myself in stones and pounds, but my kitchen scales are in grams and kilos 😂 great video by the way!

imperial is best and so is Fahrenheit.

@@fionagregory9376. You literally measure things in handegg fields so shush

Thanks Gill! hopefully V soon!

@@SchaeferFamilyAdventure Gill spot on,we need you here and you should be here..come home

When you do come, visit The Lake District and Northumberland, I say this because of your appreciation of the more minor roads so take the road from Penrith to Hexam via Alstom and then carry on to Alnwick via Rothbury the first section is wonderfully bendy and picturesque and there is the most amazing (I don't use that word lightly I'm a Brit) hidden dip when you travel from Rothbury to Alnwick (not as good in the other direction). Oh and when you're in Alnwick do visit Barter Books, believe me it's worth it. Both ends of the journey are well worth visiting for all the things you might expect, but who tells you about a route that's worth it for the road (if you can take the bendyness).

We can't wait to come back! The UK is so inviting and welcoming!

Such a pity you've left us....come back soon, we miss your "voyage of discovery" videos! Much love! 💜🧡💚❤ xxx

Inviting and welcoming? Individuals, yes, the Home Office and our immigration rules? Sadly and shamefully not.

@@SchaeferFamilyAdventure You forgot to mention Polish . Polish is the second most spoken language (Not an official language ) Polish is now the main language spoken in England after English, according to 2019 census data released by the Office for National Statistics. There are other languages spoken in the UK in England there is a large Indian Population , Where I live there is alot of turks

UK isn't a country david

Thanks! We love the UK!

It's not a legend that anyone believes Brittania is a figurehead a symbol only. Personally i am from the west of England and i have never heard of this.

I'm a britt also and my husband is from california hes lived here for over 10 years and I complain because he's Americanised our children. Never will they have butter on their sandwiches anymore since he took over bc of my illness its got to be mayo and mustard on every sandwhich. So ofc when they go to school or friends homes and they have sandwiches there, they will eat them to be polite but when I ask them about food they will make it known to me they had to eat sandwiches with butter on 🤣🤣🤷‍♀️🤦‍♀️ we only have one child that will eat marmite too bc everytime I get out the marmite to have my toast and cup of tea he has to mention how nasty marmite is 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤣🤣🤣

If he doesn’t like butter in sandwiches then you must divorce him as that is not something that any sane rational person should have to put up with.

I must say York is a city with York Minster not a town.

Definitely! Haha, even people in the UK we know weren't big fans of Haggis! We loved it though.

From comments about the NHS I've read from Americans, there's certainly misunderstanding. What isn't taken into,account is that the NHS is super efficient in financial terms cutting out a host of middlemen and benefitting from economies of scale - the NHS is so huge it can negotiate very low drug prices. Also, no one is compelled to use the NHS - private health care and insurance is an option (although you don't get a rebate for not using the NHS). The main misunderstanding (or disinformation) is viewing the NHS as a communist system! My argument against that is simply to ask whether they approve of the US Army, Navy and Airforce not being private companies - no one thinks they're "communist" - they are so important to defend the country that no one wants them being owned by Walmart or Amazon or McDonalds.

who loves haggis - i've had it twice - both times at Burn's Night events - and hate it. i don't even know any Scots like it. its like some sort of ritual you imagine primitive tribes doing where they have toe at a toad live or something as a test.... i'm sure its an ordeal rather than a treat :P

@@stumccabe it's worth noting that when the Queen's husband felt a little unwell he went into a private hospital, but when it was a serious heart procedure it was straight off to Bart's, the NHS hospital. That says all you need to know really, doesn't it?

@@coling3957 If you have lived with a Scot for a quarter of a century you have to learn to love Haggis! Actually, I do quite like it although I wouldn't eat it all the time. The trick, for me, is to have plenty of gravy (home made, none of that Bisto rubbish) and a good single malt whisky. Another trick is to have some West Indian Hot Peppar Source, preferably the real deal from Barbados, on the side. Gives it a great kick.

I'm glad it was helpful for you! Stay positive!

The far West of Cornwall with the long golden beaches and high cliffs from St Ives to Lands End to the sheltered waters and the completely different landscapes of Falmouth and the river Fal

If I recall correctly they spent most of their time in East Sussex...the rolling green downs, with the Weald behind...and on the coast the chalk cliffs - the Seven Sisters in particular...but yes they certainly got about and didn't spend all their time in big cities!

Aye, I have crohn's and they put me on an immunosuppressant cocktail which isn't that cheap to be honest. However when it didn't work, they put me on a new one which is even more expensive at about £9k-£12k a year and haven't had to pay a penny up front. I can't imagine how much this would cost in the US, especially as the NHS gets a bulk discount. Plus the main reason they put me on these treatments is to avoid having costly surgery further down the line. There must be some poor sods across the pond that go bankrupt because they can't afford these costly treatments so end up in the emergency room having to have that expensive surgery.

@@Talkathon408 completely agree! Every member of my family has had amazing, life changing healthcare on the nhs. As an asthmatic child from a working class family, something as minor as inhalers and a few hospital visits could have literally bankrupted my parents if we were American. I’m not religious, but god bless the nhs!

More than bearable! Quite wonderful.

So why did you leave?

Very true! I wasn't very clear about the red/amber bit, but you are completely right.

@@SchaeferFamilyAdventure It is, or was when I passed my test yearrrrrrs ago, a question on the UK driving test. Get that one wrong and you probably fail. "Red, Red (and) Amber, Green. Green, Amber, Red".

Hey Kyle! My big trip to N Ireland got canceled due to Corona, unfortunately. I believe we have both visited briefly (not 100% for Danielle, this is Matthew typing), but neither of us have spent enough time to say much culturally about it, unfortunately. We are excited to be able to come visit some time soon though!

Northern Ireland ROCKS! 🇬🇧

@Savannah Loughlin No it's the correct flag.🇬🇧 Northern Ireland is part of the UK. The tricolour is for Ireland (Republic) 🇮🇪

@Savannah Loughlin Following the Anglo-Irish Treaty, the territory of Southern Ireland left the UK and became the Irish Free State, now the Republic of Ireland. The territory that became Northern Ireland, within the Irish province of Ulster, had a Protestant and Unionist majority who wanted to maintain ties to Britain. Ireland isn't a flag. Learn the difference between of and off. I was born in Northern Ireland and I live here.

@Savannah Loughlin No you're wrong. Protestants (unionists) are the majority in Northern Ireland, which is part of the United Kingdom. But believe what you like, the evidence is there if anyone cares to research it. I'm not here to argue, the facts speak for themselves. I'm done with this conversation. 😁🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

Thanks!

Yeah, unfortunately not back (yet!)

Sir Terry Pritchett was at an event where a group turned up and did the dark morris dance for him, apparently it really creeped him out.

Well, not always! It's holdover from the old days + the EU.

What? How are fractions easier to calculate than numbers generated from round figures of 10s or 100s? Which is easier - a third off 6 inches, or 150mm minus 50? Actually they're both pretty easy scrap that bad example but you get my meaning.

​@@drey8When you measure small parts of items like; one inch, half and inch, quarter of an inch, one sixteenth if an inch, all are whole digits on a tape measure, but on metric it's one centimetre, 5mm, 2.5mm,1.25mm not all the measurements are on the tape measure, now do you get the picture!?!

@@thomasherrin6798 no you've just selected random measurements there to suit your argument, but that doesn't make sense. A ruler with mm has to be more accurate and easier because there's more increments. If you want to start using measurements like 1.25mm then fine use digital verniers, but good luck measuring the same in inches off a ruler, can't be done.

i was the opposite! I've never lived so close before, and it was really cool to always be so close.

As a South then East midlander I've always been about 2 hours travel from the sea, it's terrible! 8 hours would be unbearable.

I grew up 25 minutes walk from the sea and never really went there. It’s the stretch of beach you can see at the end of the film Get Carter. Search KZfaq on ‘Get Carter Ending’.

@@claymor8241 Yer I know it. Blackhall Beach. It's much more beautiful now, compared to how it's seen in the film. All the massive amount of coal waste dumped there from the mine was fully cleaned up 20 odd years ago.

in Yorkshire, Trump means fart.

Iron brew is the best

...and the manufacturing tradition...

I've never had a pint of bear. Is it better than a pint of beer?

I seen imperial units back on products on mostly Fl.oz on make up cleaning products ect.but it take time but we're started.
