Henry the hoover, if you know you know lol. I have one.

That we do!! 😂😂😂

Me to reliable Henry hoover

We do that with some things here in the US, but it's usually "Demographic Based," like people who didn't grow up playing video games, calling every console a Nintendo. Down in some southern states, instead of saying soda or pop, they just call all softdrinks Coke. Those are the only two examples I can think of off the top of my head, but my guess is that it probably has something to do with the abundance of choice we have over here. Hoovers, for example, idk for sure, but I'm guessing that is like "The Brand" over there? Whereas here in the States, we use the generic word Vacuum, due to the fact that there are SOOOO many brands. 100% I would not know what a hoover is, if my Grandmother didn't have one when I was growing up. Here, I could probably knock on each neighbor's door and ask, "What kind of Vacuum do you have?" And get very few repeating answers... I think we have 3 different brands of Vacuums in this house alone, lol 😅 We use a lot of "Catchall Words" that represent entire categories instead of a specific brand.

Zip or zipper is a brand name. If you call the think on your coat or a zip or zipper you are using a brand name that has become commonplace.

@samhilton4173 Yeah, I found out that apparently Velcro is a version of "Hook and Loop" but everybody calls that stuff Velcro.

In the US its a rutabaga.

A CLOSE call though don't you think? 😂

Try Mr Noseybonk

I never knew that! Thanks for sharing.

But most are not. Ex priminster mates. Or just entitled rich who some do not attend. Did Boris Johnson sort a place for his brother. Thats how it works

No they are not… but they are tasty and proper fill you up!

Two completely different things …..both very nice and tasty …….i make them both

@@kimtopp5984 I can no longer eat spicy. I would love to try the Cornish pasty.

I mean,to start with I think he was a prank character to make fun of celebrities with, under the pretence that they were making a kids show… I think after one series worth of the segment they repurposed him… Naturally, once well known, it’s harder to trick people with him

It’s closer to an Empanada

Nope,meat pies are entirely different things to pasties…. For you yanks the closest thing would be an Empanada just with different seasoning.

@@mubbles1066 well those pasties in the video look exactly like the meat pies my great grandmother made when I was growing up. And I know she made them with the same ingredients, including the suet. 🤷🏻‍♀️

@@RileyRunsWithScissors would you call them “hand pies”? I’ve heard Americans call their “pasties” that….outside of the US a meat pie is circular or square and deep filled with various meats and will come with beer added or Stilton cheese etc.

@@mubbles1066 I’ve never heard any of my family call them that…but it’s possible. I think the term “hand pie” is used more often in the Deep South. My mom got a craving for them a few years back (and great grandma passed years ago), so she attempted to make them, and it was nearly impossible to find suet in our local stores. Finally got some from a butchers shop. So we tried making them, and they looked right, but they were hard as rocks and completely inedible. 🤦🏻‍♀️🤣 As far as what we call them in the US, that may be down to the regional vernacular. Folks from the south may have a different name for an object than someone from the east coast. Just like with fruit-filled pastries…we might call them empanadas, fried pies, fruit pies, turnovers or hand pies. But ultimately, they are all flaky pastry crusts filled with gooey fruit and sugar, and then fried. But all of the old women in my family make/made both their sweet fried pies and their meat pies in the same half moon shape as the pasty.

Most are now life peers not hereditary , after a bit of digging there’s 426 seats in the House of Lords, 26 are the Lords Spiritual arch-bishops and bishops from the Church of England and only 91 hereditary seats of which 76 are ‘elected ‘seats voted by the other hereditary peers. The entitlement of hereditary peers to sit and vote in the House of Lords was abolished in 1999.

I think Waffle House would be a closer equivalent to Little Chef.

Colin the caterpillar is a sponge cake rolled around a buttercream filling then coated in chocolate and decorated with jelly sweets

No that is not correct. A swede is know as a rutabaga in the USA, however a swede is different from a turnip and it is a turnip not a swede that is known as neeps in Scotland.

@@marcusmurphy1481 erm I am Scottish. Swede is the yellow fleshed turnip and that is what we call neeps the white fleshed turnip is just that a turnip. If you have haggis neeps and tatties it is swede you will get the yellow fleshed turnip. We call the white/purple ones wee turnip.

@@flushedphoenix81 I apologize you are absolutely correct. When I was growing up in Scotland we always had the yellow ones and we always called it turnip, turns out that was wrong!

@@marcusmurphy1481 that one was called turnip in England and some of the Scottish lowlands. I know that when I worked in Tesco we where told to watch which we put the neep through as due to the computers being English named and proces being different. The number of people who complained about turnip being on the receipt instead of what they expected was not small that was until they figured out it was called different things in different countries.

I like them but really miss them selling loaves and rolls.

Seconded.

Tbf, I think lots of people don't really understand what the House of Lords is, how it works or what it's for.

I trust now you will research it, no that would be too much trouble.

Tin miners, no coal seams in Cornwall

I thought those were clangers. The long sausage roll like ones rather than the semi cirlce cornish pasties.

You’re your doesn’t need an apostrophe in the UK? Interesting 🤔 I don’t get why math needs to be plural (maths) and why do you say I’m in hospital, not I’m in the hospital. How can you guys walk on the pavement and not get run over?

Just because it's you I disagree, lol.
