Hey! I'm Alanna - a twenty-something documenting my life as a Canadian living in England.
I share the ups and downs of an expat living abroad and what it's really like living in the UK. It's not always easy, but there's been so many wonderful experiences, too. I post a KZfaq video every Tuesday and an additional video every Saturday on my Patreon account. I also livestream every Wednesday and Sunday at 6:30pm GMT on Twitch.

The fact that they haven't overtaken every intersection on the planet is a further indictment of us all.

Loved this Alanna! I spent the first 17 years of my life living in a pub, well, above it! My mum & dad ran the pub and it was a real hub of life & full of fascinating characters. It was during the late 70’s & throughout the 80’s. Pubs were essential in working class communities, aside from the obvious drinking, they were often the beating heart of the community. Pubs were the social media of the time back then. A vital social exchange, a place to not only commune but to find your next job, find a tradesman, pass on important messages (some of my friend’s families didn’t even have a landline in the 80’s!) They were also vital hubs for help and support during the major strikes. Pubs were a vital resource and imho, they still are! Such a shame we’ve lost so many since I was little. You absolutely picked the best Alanna! 💗

We have pubs older than USA itself. And I dont mean the land I mean the founding by "Columbus". When you have to stoop into a pub that's 4/500years old and the floor us all over he place. Ic you ever want quirky old pub try "The Crooked House" in Himley. Very old pub but you will have trouble with your mind, your vision and perspective of walks and floors thrown out the window.

Tea, I couldn't live without it. Closely followed by (in no particular order): The English seaside (Victorian piers, wooden groynes and all). The National Art gallery. Walking in the English countryside. The Peak District in Derbyshire. Canal towpaths in London. Bacon butties. The British sense of humour. English cheese. Driving in narrow country roads. The lovely, ever-changing British weather. Umbrellas in the rain. Walking in English woods when the bluebells are out. Red squirrels. Taking holidays in Scotland. Reading P.G. Wodehouse lying on a hill on a sunny day. London Parks. The National Trust.

My goddaughter married an American and when they were dating he wanted a Thanksgiving dinner. She overcame her distaste of cooking turkey in November but apparently spoiled it at the part where you say what you are thankful for. He said stuff about how he was thankful she was in his life. She apparently didn't get into the spirit of it by saying she was thankful for the M&S £10 meal deal.

The real question when it comes to mushy peas is "vinegar or not?" Marco Pierre White, the award winning chef born and bred in Yorkshire, has suggested that one should taste the peas as they come, then add the vinegar to take them to another dimension. He also likes to assemble a chip butty with any bread and butter that comes on the side, though he admits that this always feels like a mistake afterwards, because you end up feeling so full that you cannot manage all the fish.

Hi, Alanna, that was brilliant and so much fun, only you could compare Irn Bru with a Roundabout, I'm going to score this video 8 out of 8 unusual battles. Pubs have been given the go ahead to reopen, with certain safety measures, on 4th July. I think I would pick fish and chips as the winner because we have a great local shop. After watching this I'm starving and for some reason am thinking of scrambled eggs on toast. When you get back here all of your subscribers will treat you to a pint of cider in a local pub and a fish and chip lunch. So glad it is garden peas over mushy peas even though that wasn't an official battle. Looking forward to your next video soon.

Best pub I (a londoner) ever went to was a pub in Widdicombe Devon. It was a real licensed pub, but it was literally someone's front room. We followed this hulking guy who had obviously just come from plowing a field or something, and drank cider in front of a fire, listening to a small bunch of locals talking with deep Devonshire accents we could barely understand a single word of. It could not possibly have been any more authentic; it felt like we were back in the 13th century or something.

Irn Bru sugar free met with a pretty poor reception in Scotland. Then they brought out Irn Bru Xtra - which is the Irn Bru version of things like Pepsi Max and Coke Zero, i.e. it tastes like the original, but is still low in sugar. I have to admit that Irn Bru sugar free tastes a little 'thin' in flavour to me, but I can't tell much difference between the tastes of Irn Bru original and Irn Bru Xtra.

Javine : Schiphol Airport has a food stand called BROT with the best sausage rolls I have ever had and I used to work for Trust House Forte and had fresh, out of the massive oven, sausage rolls but Schiphol is now the best!

Americans get confused if you use the word "sausage". To them it means 'sausage meat' not an actual sausage. And their sausage meat isnt what you'd expect to find inside the casing in a good British sausage. I dont know what it is, but it's not the same. Americans call sausages, "links"

I feel you gave roundabouts a raw deal. You can alleviate your anxiety by bearing in mind as you approach a roundabout that every turnoff you choose leads to a pub at some point.

I'm about to nap. I'm in that blissful pre-nap period where you know the nap is about to start. There is no risk of the nap not taking place, it's a certainty. The sun is waning in the sky, its last shafts of light are kissing the ground nearby, I'm sure of it. Every subtle movement I make as I I lay here sends cuddlesome vibes pulsing through my synapses. I'm seconds away from closing the lid on my laptop..

The best way to look at roundabouts is as a one way road, which it is. So you're either trying to join or leaving a busy one way road. One of the reasons they are not popular state side is because when they had them in the 1920, but they put traffic lights on them, which caused a lot of accidents and that is where the distrust of them comes from.

Roundabouts decrease fatalities at intersections by 90% compared with 4-way stops and traffic throughput increases by 20%! I appreciate that they're scary if you never learned to drive with them, but roundabouts are fab. Pubs feel like a worthy winner here. Looking forward to them being open again here and sitting down to a nice pub lunch. Hope you're be back soon to enjoy them too

The Pub v. The Tube - I have to agree with you 100% : As good as the tube is, to get the full advantage of it, i.e. to get to ANYWHERE in London, there's a lot of changing trains and walking between platforms to be done. Pubs on the other hand, are EVERYWHERE in Britain, (that's LONDON as well as the REAL UK,) and once there, you can just sit down, and get happily inebriated: you don't have to walk anywhere, (save to the toilets two or three times.) If it's the walking you're into, there's such a thing as a 'pub crawl' which is a lot more fun than getting lost at Baker Street.
