Fun fact: The reason people in the UK drink so much beer is because it was safer to drink than water back in the day. All business was usually carried out in a Tavern whilst supping ale.

The Queen actually receives a box every day containing all the important papers of state. She is probably the most informed person in the whole country. She meets weekly with the Prime Minister.

The reason some kings wanted to ban football is that, in their day, it wasn't the organised sport that we know and love today. It was, instead, two neighbouring villages kicking the sh*t out of each other for a while, with the goals a couple of miles apart, or so.

The speech bubble on David Cameron saying "I really fancy some bacon" made me cackle.

Fun fact: Shakespeare and Pocahontas existed at the same time, both lived in England and died only a year apart

"You all be drinkin'". Congratulations, you now fully understand the British nation.

I would say that in these troubled times ,the Queen is needed more than ever. Her speeches brings important issues to the public attention. She shows empathy to all that meet her, and she sets the example for behaviour for people to follow. She is the greatest world leader living today. God save the Queen xxx

Fun fact, there’s more pubs in Ireland than there are McDonald’s restaurants in Great Britain 😂 it’s so small it’s hard to get lost but if you do, you’ll probably never be far from a pub where you can get directions 😊 and people are lovely and helpful

I live in a very small town. If you walked along the main street and had a pint in every pub, you'd be pissed out of your skull at the end.

"Are you an Anglophile?" *Looks at camera, smiles and nods happily* Love from the UK man, much respect to an American brother 👌🏻🇬🇧🇺🇲

I was looking at england on Google maps and I was shocked about how many historical castles, manors and cathedrals there are

Me as a welsh person who speaks welsh listening to them trying to say welsh words 😣😂

Sir Captain Tom Moore raised £33m for the NHS last year during the pandemic which is the most raised in a charity donation but he sadly passed away a few weeks back 😞 RIP Captain Tom

fact 102 - in the town where i live, the longest and the shortest pub names in britain are found - next to each other! The Q Inn and The Old Thirteenth Cheshire Astley Volunteer Rifleman Corps Inn

Also, fun fact: the stones of stone henge were quarried 170 miles away, from a place called Preseli in Pembrokeshire. Nobody actually knows how the stone was taken from there to Salisbury. Also, that 170 miles includes a bridge over the river Severn, which obviously would not have existed back then. The actual trip would have been over 200 miles.

On the subject of "soccer", the oldest football club in the world is Sheffield fc and was established in 1857.

I work for the NHS and having health care for all is the best! Honestly should be a basic human right everywhere in the world!

The queen retains the ability to dissolve parliament, this is a good way of stopping despots or dictators, also aided by the fact the army’s head is the monarch, not the prime minister. Despite many complaining about the £50M/year the royal family are paid from taxes, they make many times this in tourism.

I just got a little bit excited when I saw you didnt know what 'Only fools and horses' was. I wish I could be just discovering it for the first time again. So many great episodes, you should give it a go.

The reason for the large amount of pubs on the UK is that back in the day, it wasn't safe to drink the water, so nearly everyone, kids as well, drank alcoholic drinks. Also the reason why pub signs have pictures and unusual names is because again back in the day most people couldn't read or write and relied on a picture to let them know it was the right place. The amount stated is less than it was because a lot have now closed owing to changes in habits and clean water.

The Queen has done SO much actually as head of state. She continues to have weekly meetings with the prime minister, and ALL laws have to be passed by her (not thought up but approved)

Hi, you mentioned the NHS and that we pay for it through taxation, which we do but FYI the percentage is approx 4% of gross salary ... pretty good value!

Every prime minister meets with the queen once a week to discuss current events. almost all previous prime ministers have said that the queen is one of their most trusted and tactful advisors. She has been playing that role for 70 years so she's very familiar and experienced in politics. She has played a role in wars, resignations and all sorts of national disasters. Her first prime minister was winston churchill. Nobody knows how big of an influence she plays but for context, Harold Wilson was known to have disliked the monarchy but in the end of his term he was one of her biggest supporters.

I feel like this video is definitely funnier for the brits watching... so many references. 🤣👌🏾🇬🇧

The shock & comment about the amount of pubs here made me laugh out loud. We used to have way, way more!!!!! Unfortunately due to the ban on smoking & now the pandemic has & is closing so many pubs it’s such a shame. Every pub had its own character & characters.

Spread love. The Queen of England brings a LOT of money into the Uk. She works very hard. I may look likes she dose nothing but wave and smile but by god it would put many a strong person in an early grave. God Save The Queen. X

You can pretty much drink from what ever age as long as your parents are ok with it 😂😂no one gives a shite 😂 Edit : Most likes I’ve got on a comment ever , cheers guys 😂🙏

I'm a Brit and I'm finding this interesting too. The umbrella/mobile phone thing on the Underground, it actually has a lost property department. At the end of every day, the trains are cleaned and whatever is left (lost) on the trains is kept in a lost property room. Stonehenge was actually built 8,000 years ago.

The UK also has the longest pleasure pier in the world. Southend Pier & Railway is 1.33 miles or 2.14km long, despite being engulfed in flames several times (1959, 1976, 1995 and 2005) and having to be restored a few times. (Mexico has the longest disembarkation pier, Progreso Pier, at 4 miles or 6.5km long).

Hi. Your reaction to haggis is hilarious because that was exactly my reaction when I first saw it. But then I tried chicken balmoral which is a chicken breast stuffed with haggis and then wrapped in bacon and I promise you the taste is what I can only describe as "ABSOLUTE FIRE!". Honestly it is soooooo good. You should try it. I'm english by the way not scottish so I'm guessing that speaks for something too lol

Not specifically drinking, it's a meeting with mates ,talking having a laugh, dinner, and company

Dydd Gwyl Dewi Hapus! (Happy St David's Day!) This is celebrated in Wales every March 1st. St David is the patron saint of Wales who died on March 1st in 589 AD 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Final fun fact: Shakespeare plays are full of sex jokes. They were written for a very working class audience. In Titus Andronicus, for example: "Villain, thou hast undone our mother!" "Villain I hath done thy mother!"

We used to have more pubs. A lot more. Another common name for pubs is the Black Horse, although the one near me is the Old Crown. The queen does have power, but she doesn't really use it. She likes to remain neutral with the parties, but if she wanted to, she could do what she wants.

This guy just gives off the best vibes fr, he doesn’t hate anyone and is just a good person in general!

“52,000 pubs, Yall do be drinkin drinkin” you don’t know the half of it

The Queen has an enormous amount of input and influence with the govenment, she is directed not to take sides in politics... but we all know that she does! Her role is to advise and guide.. she gets a box daily, of govenment papers, and a weekly visit from the Prime Minister of the day.

It's July 27th 2021. And just watched this video again. Had to laugh as u quoted " I will never watch a football game or be excited about it" 😂😂😂 and then to see u enjoy and get emotional about the england Italy game just warms my heart and made me laugh so much 😂😂😂. Brilliant 👍👍❤️❤️

Haggis is beautiful. Can't believe it's banned in the US when some of the shit they eat is just pure e numbers 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 love being Scottish

Good to see Americans learning about the UK!

You´re correct in your assessment of the monarch as a ¨mascot." In fact, Parliament has run the country since (depending how exactly you define it) either 1660 or 1689. It´s interesting that the American rebels against Britain in the 1770s framed their campaign as a protest against the monarch, since the monarch had already really been only a "mascot" for about 100 years.

Spread love. I am from the UK and I can't get enough of watching your videos they are brilliant

As iam listening to this as an Englishman in England, I found it interesting. Sadly alot of our history is being eroded from schools and universities. Iam proud to be English 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

Wales has more castles per square mile than anywhere else in the world

Ive always said to my American friends when they ask what Welsh weather is like, 'Imagine the story of Noah and the Ark, thats a damn good summer in Wales'..... After this year, not so much.... We were hitting the late 30°c mark sometimes when out and about this summer, it was abnormal 😮‍💨

Theoretically, the role of the British monarch (king/queen) is to serve as head of state while the PM is the head of government. Practically though, the queen doesn't do much. She mostly delegates her duties to other senior royals (like Charles, the prince of wales) or to government ministers like the Prime minister.

It should technically be the "Union Flag"... which is the flag. The "Union Jack" is the flag when flown on a boat

JT really has a thing for our QUEEN 👸 his face lights up when ever he sees her pop up hahaha

Spread love ❤ love your videos JT. Sending British wishes from the Uk

The Queen is the UK's head of state. The Prime Minister is 1st Minster of her Majesty's government. The leader of the opposition is the leader of her Majesty's opposition.

I grew up.with "only fools and horses",classic comedy. But in my teens it was all about " the young ones and then" bottom" 😁

We use to go to a dodgy pub called ‘the cock and seaman’ was full of fantastic characters from the old dockers community, four teeth in the whole place 😂

I used to run a pub. It's a british staple of after work you pop into pub for a drink or two. Friday's, Saturday's and Sunday's is all fun n games. Then theres our nightclubs!😀

Spread love.

In Australia I spent my entire school life learning pounds, shillings and pence. My second wage was in dollars.

The video wasn’t completely accurate, you have to be 18 to buy alcohol, you can drink at 14 if you’re at a restaurant with parents with a meal, and you can drink legally from age 5 in your own home

Spread love. Watched it all JT!

fun fact: Hot Fuzz was filmed in a similarly small city- Wells. It's practically a country village with a fuck off big cathedral in the middle of it. (It's CGI-d out of Hot Fuzz) It's also where the director and writer of the film grew up.

Speaking of pubs. My town has Britain's smallest pub called the nutshell

They wanted to ban football because we weren't keeping up with our archery practice

Re pubs. My dad used to give people directions using pubs. "Right at The Bull, then left at the Red Lion"

No , 17,400,742 people did NOT want to leave the EU because of a bus. It was people that did NOT want to be controlled by the E U. Oh and what about an audit EU.

Glad you are impressed by our NHS. I worked 28 years for them.

how English of me to be drinking tea while he said 'how much tea do we drink'.

There are some facts that I was not aware of. Great upload!

The Queen worked very hard checked the Red box from her government every day plus working for many charities she holds a lot of respect from the British people.

I've seen so many pubs and hotels called 'The King's Arms' is it just me that sees so many of these?

I live in Gravesend, Kent where Pocahontas is buried within the grounds of St George's Church. The church burnt down and the exact location of where she is buried was lost. The church is at the bottom of town in a nice quiet area. When the Disney movie came out, our little town was filled with visitors from all over the planet.

It's called the Union Flag. Its only called the Union Jack when's its on the Jack Staff of a RN Ship

The queen theoretically commands the army and can press the self destruct button on parliament, i think

How badass does the Union Jack look with a Welsh dragon in the middle?!

That was more of a 97 facts about London and Shakespeare and 4 about the rest of us, the UK is not all about England.

Spread love! Great to watch your ‘videos’ bud, love and peace

Spread Love

Spread love man!! Listened to the whole thing while changing an old tap here on Menorca a little island off the coast of Spain. I’m British and loved the fact that I didn’t know 3/4 of those facts!! Thanks man.

Respect to an open-minded person like you.

Spread love . JT I enjoy your enthusiasm. Keep it going

There’s actually castles in a lot of small towns including my home town , it’s pretty commonplace and it’s always funny to see tourists just staring at it in awe .

Gotta react to all the different accents we have here. You wouldn't believe the difference between like Yamyams and Scousers

‘Y’all really do be drinking’ 🤣 Yep, it’s literally all we do!

Time passes and things change. Norwich in Norfolk (it is said) had a church for every Sunday and a pub for every day of the year. The churches and the pubs have slowly closed. Personally I miss the pubs which have been demolished. The Churches are protected and are still there.

Pub= Public House often the only building large enough back in the day for community meeting, weddings, and anything really the pub may even offer to supply the drinks at festivals and all pubs serve food...so even children can be there, it's common in fact. Sunday night pot roast anyone?

You don’t have to be 18 to drink in the UK! At home you can drink from 5, in a restaurant or pub with a table meal and adult permission it’s 16 it’s only 18 to buy it.

Spread Love. Entertaining and for a UK native and resident, I too learnt a few things. Haggis, is absolutely beautiful. Ignore the ingredients list. It tastes amazing, mostly tastes like a very savoury ground lamb with oatmeal. It is served with buttered mashed potatoes, mashed swede (or turnip) and washed dow with a glass of Scottish whiskey (Scotch). We here in the UK gave the world computers, telephones, television, the world wide web, bag-less vacuum cleaners, ducted vacuum cleaning systems (first on in the Houses of Parliament), we had the biggest navy in the world (not any longer), invented the steam trains, our beer isn't warm, however it isn't ice chilled either, only lager beers are chilled to ice cold. We invented the lightbulb, Thomas Edison only improved it, he did not invent it. Many, many facts would also spin your head too about the UK, but America is not without its own fantastic and amazing facts which the world has seen too and which we are very grateful for. So glad to have watched your video and hope to see more. Hope you enjoy a lot of success too. Oh by the way, the Queen does have a meeting with the Prime Minister every Tuesday and he or she will often receive advice and guidance from Her Majesty The Queen in matters of governance. The Queen has advised every single British Prime Minister since she became Queen in 1952. Starting with Sir Winston Churchill up to our present Prime Minister Boris Johnson.

Spread Love.. a new subscriber here in the UK Came across you by accident but love all your videos,i love your accent too 👍XX

Hell yeah I did not expect to see one of my local pubs on that list- Quiet Woman at Earl Strendale

As for a tatt, how about the British Airways logo (a Union Jack blowing in the wind)? Maybe if you flash it to the nice lady at the check in desk on the BA London flight, she'll upgrade you to First Class. Or maybe she'll have you removed by airport security...

This video did Haggis dirty. It’s actually not bad... I’m Scottish, and it’s not uncommon to get a Haggis roll or burger, and they’re pretty good

Just discovered your Chanel absolutely love it I live in Glasgow Scotland and just subscribed to your Chanel 👌🏼🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿👌🏼

I dated two americans and they didnt get the UK humour. When i told them we mock ourselves for fun they understood. God bless the USA and the UK.

Haggis is actually delicious, the image in the vid did not show a haggis, not one that any Scot would eat anyway

You might like the video, when uk nuked the USA, twice, introduce you to the most beautiful bomber, ever, the Avro Vulcan. The most stunning aircraft, in all senses. The loudest, earth shattering, gorgeous aircraft. Gone but not forgotten. Also another good one, RAF Hunter pilot goes rogue over London 1968, brilliant.

The union jack is actually only called a union jack if it is mounted on the front of a battle ship with a wooden pole (jack). Other than that it is just called a Union flag. We go to the pub all the time. It's normal as pubs usually also serve food and have a pool table. It's quite common to go to the pub for an evening meal with the family (including children) rather than getting a takeout. Or you can meet your friends for lunch. Also you can stay overnight in some pubs if they are called an Inn, same as a hotel. I pay approximately £600 per month out of my wages for tax and national insurance, healthcare isn't free, We pay for it, just over a period of time and we can help others (elderly, young single mums or dads, those who can't work) who can't afford healthcare in the hope that their children will be paying their taxes too in the future. We sort of help eachother. There was a time that I needed help as a single mother at 17 but I pay back into the system now. It certainly isn't free. A quarter of my income goes on tax and national insurance

Spread love ❤ great video as always mate 😎👍

The Queen's main official role really is as head of the Commonwealth of Nations. The Commonwealth of Nations is essentially a bunch of countries that used to be British colonies (example members being Canada, Australia and New Zealand), and they work together in terms of trade, commerce, international relations and defence. The Queen is also not just the Queen of the UK - she is the Queen of many other countries, including the aforementioned Canada, Australia and New Zealand. However, Prince Charles has since taken over as the head of the Commonwealth of Nations as the Queen is pretty old these days, but the Royal family do engage in a number of charities and events across the UK, and a number of male members of the family have also been in the military too. Or if you're Prince Andrew, you like kiddies a bit too much......

I promise haggis is amazing, don’t knock it until you try it!

Love your videos mate!

The first king of England was Athelstan, Alfred's grandson. Alfred was king of Wessex, before England existed. He's 'The Great', because he led the fight back against the Viking invasion, and started uniting the Saxon kingdoms to form Anglaland, or England.
