THAT is a really good idea. Unfortunately, this lovely, open and hard-working family doesn’t have a negative story to tell, they don't run the country down and are realistic, but otherwise delightfully hopeful and positive about their life in Britain, they came here to contribute and seem, in general, to have been welcomed with open arms; so I can’t see the BBC being interested.

For your kids it will be such a positive experience too and give them a broader outlook for life. Keep up the great content.

Thank you for posting such down to earth, real world info. We are considering moving to the UK in a couple years with two small children and your videos have answered a lot of questions about logistics and how kids handle such a move. Most videos are single people who don’t have that type of issue to handle with kids. This is very comforting to know.

Regarding lamb, British and Irish lamb is pretty highly regarded I would say. I've heard it said that the quality is down to the high quality of grass over here. From Ireland in particular, the grass is said to be slighlty salty from the sea air, which adds a slight saltiness to the lamb meat from them eating it. Plus control over the qualities of meat being more natural ofcourse

We mean Alton Towers. It’s incredible, a theme park and historical buildings/gardens inside. I can recommend some great things around there. It’s the no.1 theme park in the UK and is typical as it’s in the least appropriate place for a theme park but that’s what makes it beautiful. It’s just over the border from Derbyshire in Staffordshire. In between Manchester and Birmingham on the M6

@neilboulton9813 Жыл бұрын

@JH did you actually live through the 1970s with 3 day week and industrial strife way worse than this, power cuts etc with food shortages and rubbish piling up. How dour and drab everything was followed by 1980s with the added bonus of mass unemployment, which Boys from the Black stuff brilliantly portrayed the hopelessness of it all. I think people need demonstrate more perspective. I know you said since the Second World but please remember people were dying daily by the thousand in the military and civilians having with bombs falling on their houses so again nothing that is happening now is even in the same stratosphere.

@jhellnowh Жыл бұрын

@@neilboulton9813 I did live through the seventies, I remember the lights going out without warning and having to scurry around looking for candles as we didn’t have torches. I was living in South Manchester in the early eighties and was made redundant in 1983 because of Thatcherite policies. Had to relocate to London to get a job and never went back. It’s funny that you say how dour and drab things were. I agree! I look back on that time and my memory shows just bleak and rainy days. I’m sure that wasn’t the case, but that’s how I remember it.

The TV license is primarily aimed at the BBC, which is the main UK channel. Funded by the people, it also keeps the channel free from all advertising. The only advertising on the BBC is briefly inbetween shows and just advertise other BBC shows. Theres no ad breaks during their shows, unless its a live show with a planned interlude like half time during football matches

@dcanmore Жыл бұрын

also ad free radio stations which people seem to forget including the World Service.

@robinhooduk8255 Жыл бұрын

heres a different take on what you said. the BBC also sells all of its content to different countries all over the world, it also sells its content to netflix, so we brits pay for tv show to be filmed then the bbc sells it to netflix and its behind a paywall. i agree with mac, the BBC and the tv license is one of the most backward, outdated and unjust things in the UK. the BBC should be scrapped. PS i would love somebody to explain why i have to pay a tax, to fund a worldwide radio station where 99% of its users are not even british and dont fund it.

@grahamsmith9541 Жыл бұрын

@@robinhooduk8255 The world service used to be funded by the government. But the Tory government decided to impose the costs onto the BBC. Same thing with collecting the licence fee. Again the Tory government imposed a percentage of programs on the BBC that must be produced by other T.V. companies. So the BBC also hires out studios and production facilities to other companies.

@captvimes Жыл бұрын

They have product placement and also advertise their own shows in between shows. Granted not as annoying but I would prefer the choice of subscribing to the BBC or not. Not forced to through non legal threats. They have pissed off the younger generation with this and it is only a matter of time before it dies due to their own incompetance.

@dcanmore Жыл бұрын

Many European countries also have a TV licence scheme to fund public broadcasting and the British one is not the most expensive. The ones that don't have a license per se are funded by general taxation. For example Austria has a separate TV and Radio licences with €334 for TV and €90 for radio per annum. TV in Denmark is €257; Germany €220; Switzerland €331; Ireland €160 per annum.

Fast/processed food in the UK, although still unhealthy is massively more healthy than fast food in the US. Food ingredients are much more tightly regulated and safer in the UK and most of Europe than in the US. I've heard other Americans who've spent time in the UK and other European countries report that they enjoyed exactly the same mostly fast food diet they enjoyed in the US, but lost weight and felt much healthier.

Massive congratulations to you all. What lovely news to start the year. A great day out for the family would be Beamish near Durham, it’s more a living history museum than a theme park. There are different areas focusing on different periods from the past couple of hundred years and what life was like for people and how they lived.

New to your channel and have subscribed. I really enjoyed your answers to the questions. You seem a really well balanced and thoughtful couple. I would guess that you're good parents and make wonderful and loyal friends. Good luck with the channel and I hope you get more followers. The usual toxic world of social media could do with more people like you two.

Fully agree on the information, when I’m in another country it fascinates me to see how brits and our cultures are viewed. I then like to prove them wrong if it’s whacky, doesn’t often work but is good fun.

The comment about Devon made me think. The southwest in my opinion is blessed with so much beauty. All of England is lovely as you know. But the southwest is amazing. Devon and Cornwall are stunning with beautiful coastlines and mountains, towns and villages. But then so are Somerset and Gloucester (ditto for Dorset, Hampshire and Wiltshire). Bath is an amazingly beautiful town, with its creamy coloured bath stone buildings and houses. There’s Warwick Castle and Shakespeare country with Stratford. Bristol is a smaller city to explore and on and on. . .

I was wondering why you liked the county shows so much...only today did I find out you are a farmer. It all makes sense now!

You have to go to Alton Towers theme park and stay at the hotel the kids will love it and they open the theme park and hour before it opens to the public to customers who stay at the hotel so you get to go on loads of rides. It’s the best one I’ve been to and I’ve been to at least 4 or 5 here. The rides are awesome.

The BBC license fee is like your contribution to PBS in the USA, except that it’s mandatory if you own a tv set. Its a lot less than a US cable charge and, for it, you get several tv channels and radio stations without interruption by advertising. Competition from the BBC raises the overall standard of British broadcasting. As a British person living in America, the BBC is one of the things I miss most.
