To me, going to a bar is like going to a teens house with all the games consoles and the huge TV. Going to a pub is more like going to grandma's, where you know everyone there and it feels comforting and comfortable in a slightly old fashioned but good kind of way.

She very nicely identifies some of the less immediately tangible facets of English life that are a core part of the country and our culture. Sometimes we natives of England take these things for granted, but at the same time we value them and treasure them massively.

I can open my front door and look at the ruins of a 1000-year-old castle, and my sister's home is 400-years old. A bar is dedicated to adults and booze, a pub is more family-oriented. They also serve food, and children are allowed in if they don't drink alcohol...soft drinks are always available.

About pub culture. If you are a "regular"customer in your local pub the other regulars end up being like extended family. Really close friendships develop and quite often there is a garden out the back with outdoor tables and play equipment for kids

In England and Wales we have over 140,000 miles of public rights of way, to walk recreationally and to get from one place to another on foot, sometimes by using paths which have been walked for thousands of years. These public rights of way are maintained by local Authorities and are recorded on official maps (called definitive maps) in England and Wales. Often these paths were used many many hundreds of years ago to get from village or farm to a church or to the next village and crossed fields, woods, streams and went through farmyards, etc. - and they have been preserved up to the present time as "Rights of Way".

5:57 - Bath is a separate city considerably west of London! Dates back to Roman times, there were mineral springs there that were said to have healing properties so they built an entire temple complex around it and a settlement to match. Which is still called Bath to this day. It was very popular as a resort in the 1700 and 1800s, which is where a lot of the architecture dates from.

I am used to our historic visual heritage to a certain degree...but sometimes I go and visit a castle or stately home and I'm still blown away. I'm a history fanatic so I love being a British Citizen and living in England.

For the holiday pay she talked about, you get 5 and a half weeks paid holiday a year. This is the case for both full and part-time work. For full-time work where you work 5 days a week, you are legally entitled to a minimum of 28 days paid holiday a year. Some companies may give you more than the legal requirement but it will depend on the company.

Pubs are wonderful and a very much part of the community. I used to go to a pub in Wales when I lived there and there was a very elderly gentleman who always sat in the same seat every day (he wasn’t a alcoholic just a lonely old man). No one would ever dare to sit in his seat. For about a year after he passed away that seat was sacrosanct and no one ever used it. That one thing describes what the pub culture in this country is like. It’s not all about drinking it’s about community and caring. ❤

A bar is where you buy drinks, there will very likely be a bar IN a pub, but the pub itself isn't a bar. You can take your kids to a pub, your dogs, get a meal, etc. A pub is a "public house", like a community living room. US people don't tend to use the word "pub" just because they don't really exist over there. When you do see the word "pub" being used in the US it's often just an Ireland themed bar. Very different.

Bath is a city in the South West of England known as Aqua Soulis in Roman times when public baths. It later became a spa where people could drink the water which was believed to have health benefits You can visit the Roman baths but nowadays you can't actually take a Bath

4:15 - the burial mounds usually aren't medieval. Most of them turn out to be neolithic. As for history overall, there's a certain amount of taking for granted. We can't get excited over everything. All the same, exploring the historic bit of a town is usually fun. Whereas winding up on an industrial estate where everything is concrete, grey, car parks, warehouses etc, I do find part of me dying inside a bit.

Local pub in the countryside = walking through the farmers field to arrive at your destination, for a pint with your friends and family (including children) and the family dog. Yes, your pets are catered for too with a water bowl and a box of dog treats at the bar 😁

I live in the U.K. and my own home is almost 300 years old. The Edwardian and Victorian homes have stood the test of time! We have many old properties with stunning character ‘of old’. Our pubs are generally large old country houses and often serve /sell meals. That’s why they’re cosy. Our countryside’s are beautiful and city centres offer a change of pace. If we had more sunshine, it would be perfect!

You should definitely learn more about pubs and the history of them. It’s a huge part of our culture, that dates back hundreds of years.

My cousin came to visit me, I took him to my work which is very close to a Norman Castle, I take no notice of it, he was amazed by it and had to go and visit. He could not believe that I was so indifferent to it.

Remember, the word Pub is simply an abbreviation of Public House. No US bar I have patronised has anything in common with a house. In Britain, pubs have games such as darts, cosy seating, food for the whole family, and some even have a small side room called a snug, where in my childhood days older women would gather to nurse a gin or a beer and gossip.

Alanna is a hoot! She's perceptive too. Her uploads are a 'must-watch'.

"pub" comes from "Public House" used to differentiate private houses from those which were, quite literally, open to the public as "alehouses", "taverns" and "inns".

I love Alanna's videos. You really can't do much better for exploring cultural and social Britain. For me it's interesting to see what someone from another country who chooses to live here thinks, and she is always on the money I think.

In England we have hundreds of Castles and Museums. It’s all very interesting and many museums are free. We have beautiful libraries where you can spend the day perusing books. Many have cafes where you can have a bite to eat and a drink. They are peaceful places to visit. There’s something for everyone. The kids sections are huge, and in some they have a storyteller that the kids love.

Agree. It's like a Brit thinking that the entire USA is New York City and looks like that everywhere. The 25 days holiday is a minimum for a full time worker and it's 5 days per week, so its essentially 5 weeks of holiday. Some people get more, I work in retail as a manager and i get 33 days holiday which is 6 weeks and 3 days of paid holiday. The Pub culture is so good here. A pub is basically a homely chilled usually dimly lit public house. You can drink and eat. And you can bring families in. Up until a certain time (i believe any kids need to leave a pub by 9pm). You can turn up a pub with a hoodie, with anything you want. A bar is like a lounge place with music, no kids are allowed. More dressed up. And has music, but you can still eat there until a certain time. A club is just music, alcohol and a dancefloor.

Adventures and Naps fan here. I like the fact that you found her and her early impressions of England. I think there is a huge amount more for you to explore, especially the nuances of culture in different areas - the North/South divide, Yorkshire Folk, Carrot Crunchers of the West Country, Southern Softies, and many, many more ways we take jabs at each other lol.

What a lovely video, it actually made me well up a little. Our pub culture is massive. There are different types of pubs, some are more like your bars and have a younger target audience but most are multi-generational and do have a cosy home-like feel. There's nothing better on a cold, crisp Sunday than popping to the pub to have a roast dinner for lunch, a glass or two of wine, and if they have an open fire it's an absolute bonus.

It's mandatory for 28 days annual leave, this can include the 8 bank holidays, but most decent companies give you the 28 days annual leave and then you get the 8 bank holidays on top. I can also purchase 4 extra days taking me to 32 days plus 8 bank holidays :)

Just to say I enjoy your videos and love your curiosity in our little country. I think you pretty much nailed it with the mom and pop coffee shop equivalence to pubs. Pubs vary from effectively restaurants to the coffee shop equivalent. People will go to pubs for may reasons: maybe to meet a friend in the day for one (or two) drinks and a catch up; for a quick meal with family; for a night out, but more relaxed than a bar, and everything in-between. Some pubs are better than others for the different reasons for going so it is quite hard to pin down a description of a pub. However, the best are always cosy and friendly, ideally old and with a deep history.

My husband us currently on 56 days leave per year and has taken all of December off work! Another thing that is common here in terms of leave is that a lot of companies shut down for Christmas and don't reopen until January. My son, who is only a first year apprentice, will finish on 23rd December and go back on 3rd January.

To give some idea of the difference between Pub and Bar, it might help to consider that 'Pub' was originally from 'Public House'. It was a way of meeting people, celebrating events etc. with more room and facilities than in your own house.

A couple of the ‘best things’ can be added together. Going for a country walk, on the public footpath and stopping off in pubs along the way. Perfect Sunday!!

The gate you climb over us called a Stile

Pub is short for Public House. The main difference between a Pub and Bar is that. A Pub is literally someone's house. They live upstairs. The decor is very homely. A bit like your grandparents old fashioned house which a bit run-down. Has lots of trinkets and ornaments cluttering the place up. Where a bar is purely commercial premises and is decorated as such - large glass window panes instead of brick walls. Super modern. Neon lights. Glittery floors

Love Alana our little Canadian gem her attempts at cooking & tasting (Sweets,snacks, beer, & Cider OH Alan getting tipsy tasting Cider is Epic ?? )

Bath is in the English West Country, quite near Wales. It's an old Roman town. The Romans believed the spring water there had healing qualities, so there are roman baths there. Hence the name Bath! It's beautiful there. The modern city of Bath is very close to Bristol which is a bigger, more modern city. Being a beautiful, historic city that is right next door to a modern, eclectic city makes it a really popular place to live and/or visit. If you want to understand pubs properly you should reach out to Alanna / Adventures and Naps and do a collab with her, have a full conversation about pubs and what they are. She talks about them quite a lot and really genuinely does seem to love them, and I think she'd get the nuance of what is different about a pub and a bar. Try it! She seems really nice, I'm sure she'd at least talk to you.

As she said, we do try to rally when someone is in great need, and *Solihull (near Birmingham) is one that's in great need of our support this week. People don't donate for this, they do it to help others, but occasionally a loved one or family will use some or all of the money to form a new charity, &/or to lobby the courts or Parliament to change or create new laws to make our slice of the world safer. *I don't want to add specific details and accidentally trigger someone now or later, so respectfully this is all I'll say about it here. I do know this is not unique to the UK, although it's sweet of her to mention it. I saw the US news of the severe storms hitting multiple states 2 days ago, and the fundraising in place to help those directly impacted, so US citizens do support each other, and I'm sure many other countries have similar systems in place to provide support and assistance where needed too. Changing the topic; landowners who have public rights of way on their property legally have to keep them clear, including cutting back greenery (hedges/trees etc), at their own expense, to allow easy access along the public walkway through their land. If they don't keep it clear the local council or highway authority will serve a notice to the landowner with a deadline to clear it, and if they still don't, the local council will hire someone else and send the bill to the landowner. It's pretty serious, and we treasure our public walkways. We're also careful not to litter, to stay on the designated path, and to always, always, respect people, animals, land and property. For example; leaving a gate as it's found - so if it was closed and you opened it to pass through, you close it behind you to prevent cattle escaping. Landowners cannot block anyone on a public right of way (it's mandatory by law) and occasionally a path cuts through next to a landowners home or through their farmyard, but most landowners are friendly to hikers as long as they're respectful of the land and animals.

As a Scotsman, this year I started my Chrimbo holidays on Dec 9th. I go back to work on Jan 5th.

Oh! and Alana is another lovely person an have been subscribed to for years now both of you are on my playlist!

Been watching Alanna’s channel for years. This is an older one. She’s super professional now. Such a great channel……. bit like yours. 😉

We only realize what we have when someone from another country tells us

Bath is a city about 100 miles west of London, Tyler. It was founded by the Romans as Aquae Sulis, and several of the baths that were originally built by the Romans, over natural hot springs, have been restored and are open to the public for viewing. There's also a modern rooftop complex that you can also bathe in! It was greatly expanded during the Regency Period (early 18th Century) and is a model of Georgian Architecture. Also, all other buildings in the entire city, including new ones, are obliged to use the same light honey-coloured stone, that is quarried nearby. You know that 'Pub' is short for Public House, don't you? Regarding Rights of Way, the best resource are the maps published by the Ordnance Survey, which is a State-Establishment responsible for the publication of maps of the entirety of Great Britain including all its islands, at various scales. On the current series, the popular 1: 50 000 (1 km per grid square) scale shows rights of way in pink - including all official footpaths, bridlepaths (which are theoretically also open to horses and cycles) and by-ways (that are supposedly open to all traffic); and the 1:25 000 scale which is twice as big and detailed shows them in green or orange - for England and Wales only, in both cases - because Scotland has a different legal system and there is no law of common trespass here, with reasonable access allowed everywhere! The best resource - upon which you can also freely access all historical maps, land usage maps, and even compare them side by side, can be found at maps.nls.uk/

As well as being 'ancient paths', right of ways can be quite recent. For a time in the UK, Dad was an armed Ministry of Defence police officer at a munitions factory. There was a high security fence around the factory, and it was surrounded by a farmland buffer zone, which also contained 'married quarters ; for some of the senior officials and security staff. A road led from the highway past the staff housing and down to the main security gates. There was a gate at the entrance that was always left open, except for ONE day when the gate was closed and manned by the police. This was done to avoid the road from becoming a public right of way.

This is an early video from Alanna of adventure and naps, basically pubs are family friendly coffee shops that serve alcohol and food, in smaller communities they are the hub of the village where everyone meets and talks the night away, I grew up in a small north east town in England in the 1970s and we had 15 pubs but only two supermarkets

My hometown has a castle dating back to the 11th century. Just down the road is a Stately home, Himley Hall, formerly owned by the Earl of Dudley. It was visited frequently by the Royal family, including Edward & Mrs Simpson who used to meet up there regularly for secret trysts. There’s a small airport nearby for light aircraft and the locals knew that every Friday the light aircraft would fly over with the then King & Mrs Simpson on board. The locals who worked in the Hall knew and gossiped. Also just down the road is Holbeach house which still stands, where Guy Fawkes and other gunpowder conspirators were caught for trying to blow up the Houses of Parliament. Near the local cemetery they’re still finding artefacts connected to the gunpowder plot. There’s history everywhere you look. An alternative to pubs are Inns. Jamaica Inn, from the novel and film of the same name is in Cornwall and is still in use.

We often go out as a family for Sunday lunch or an early evening meal. Children and family dogs are very welcome too.

I love pubs…such a warm family feel and people are friendly and the atmosphere is happy and at some you get food. Garden at back, kids can play and is safe. Pubs are great

Yes, you take it for granted. I live in Greenwich, stroll through Greenwich Park and barely notice the Royal Observatory or look at the view across the city. Walk to the pub, past the Maritime Museum and the Royal Naval College ( designed by Christopher Wren), the Cutty Sark, all I am thinking about is what I am going to have to drink. Go through the market and don't even notice. Will stop and look today, apppreciate it more.

Tyler the minimum holiday entitlement in the UK is 28 days minimum, most people get 25 days to choose when they wish and at least 6 other public holidays like christmas etc, I was a factory worker and got 31 days per year, some public workers get other time off including time to go shopping.

I remember always going to the pub as a kid with my parents, they’d send me off with a few quid for the games machine and a packet of crisps, afternoon sorted 👍😂

This video has made me appreciate England and UK even more . My childhood spent in a small Northern Town, more industrial than historic in architecture. I feel grateful though for the opportunities to travel and appreciate beautiful countryside and lovely towns across the UK. In England, I'd suggest, the Lake district, Pennine areas and Yorkshire dales/ moors, Peak district, Dorset! Just realised the list needs 20 more recommended areas!

I live in a very small village in Cornwall, there is a pub, a fish & chip shop, hairdressers, a small corner shop, as well as a church. At the weekend, some pubs and Innes have sing alongs and everyone joines in, the ones I go to have sea views too.

The term "pub" is short for "public house", which means they've been granted a licence to serve alcohol. They're essentially a version of the Roman taverns we had here a long, long time ago. 👍

I wish he would read the bloody comments. We’ve been explaining that a pub is NOT a bar FOREVER.. it’s getting genuinely frustrating.

When I worked at a large utility in the 90s I started with a basic entitlement of 25 days paid leave plus the 8 days statutory paid bank holidays, then gained additional days paid leave with seniority pus flex days in lieu of overtime to a maximum of 1 day paid flex leave every 4 weeks. Eventually, I was getting 35 days paid leave + 8 days bank holidays plus 13 days flex a year -ie 58 days paid leave, plus being obliged to stay home with paid sick leave if I was unwell. We also were entitled to two days paid training/study time a month and had the option to enrol in courses paid for by the company - for example I gained a distinction in a business degree over a couple of years using a half day a week apart time release using the "training days" and two evenings of my own time per week for classes plus other hours of my own time studying, with the company paying for the tuition and the exam fees providing I passed the exams. The company found that people were more productive if well educated, fit, rested and able to concentrate. regarding breaks, one 15 minute tea/coffee break per morning and afternoon were encouraged, lunch breaks were expected to last at least half an hour with a maximum of two hours ( to allow one to go to the gym or participate in sport at least once a week they also subsidised gym or sports club memberships) Sick time was much reduced if people exercised regularly and were not encouraged to spread sickness around the work place by having to attend whilst ill. Work safety also improved with incidents and accidents virtually eliminated. Driving accidents reduced and road safety also improved - driving whilst ill is as bad as driving whilst under the influence. Within the working day breaks did not count towards working flex hours but were a contractual entitlement so people could not be penalised for taking breaks to a minimum total of 1 hour during a working day and had to be allowed time to eat, drink and use facilities as needed. Before smoking was banned, breaks for smoking outside the premises were permitted to a maximum of 5 minutes in any one hour provided the person signed up to committing to give up smoking and smokers were offered courses on how to give up, free nicotine patches or gum and free hypnotism or counselling to give up the habit. It was found that sick days reduced by two thirds after the smoking ban was introduced and those who desired to give up smoking were assisted in their goals. These days the holidays are less generous, but 20 days paid leave plus paid bank holidays is still a basic minimum for full time workers and in many companies even more flexible working hours are allowed to allow parents to participate in child care - for example several of my friends work 4 x 9.5 days a week rather than 38 hours per 5 day working week - if working from home they must be available during core hours on home-working days but otherwise can work early or late to fit in with domestic needs as long as the work is done to the required quality, mandatory meetings are attended and deadlines are met. Most do not get paid overtime at all or get it only rarely when extra time is required by management over the contracted hours or on bank holidays- you are expected to get your job done within your contracted hours. Part time workers get statutory paid leave proportional to the percentage of standard hours they work. Check out the rules for parental leave too Presenteeism, unhappy and stressed staff and excessively long hours are generally not productive and quality of output diminishes - achieving good work-life balance and good education and health amongst staff improves quality and productivity and benefits society. in one company I worked at you could donate a half day a week to volunteering for a local charity - such as helping with adult literacy, helping out at a hospice or giving talks on business to local schools. The company of course got a tax break for that as our paid time was donated to charity as we volunteered on their time.

"Keep calm and carry on" is a WW2 poster/expression which has become popular again (with many humorous variations) over the last 10 years or so, normally during a crisis or world pandemic etc. I have a fridge magnet that says, "Keep calm and hug a dog." 😀

A Canadian woman (Jessica) and her hubby (Matt) visit four well known pubs in London and you get a 'feel' of what tourists will find... On YT under the title 'A Historic London Pub Tour Through Some of London's Oldest Pubs' - Worth watching and I have drunk in all of them over 'many' years, including taking friends and relatives who come to stay - LOL!

Pub is short for Public House. Loads of stuff goes on in pubs, live music, food, darts, games various. Also many have lovely gardens, which may include a play area for children, and in the summer will have tables and chairs in the garden.

I am English born in Lancashire, I left England to live on the Isle of Man 🇮🇲 I would love for you to review my island, we are a small island and a crown dependency, we have our own government (the oldest Parliament in the world) we have castles, fabulous rolling hills, a rich culture, a mountain, an electric railway, a steam railway, our own fishing boats and harbours, cats with no tails, we have many traditions. There is plenty of video’s and information on utube. I like watching your reaction and can see how much your beginning to like lots of things about the U.K. so now have a look at the Isle of Man which is an island between England and Ireland. Enjoy 💕🇮🇲 ps don’t forget to look up the world famous TT Races.

The standard is 25 holiday days + all the bank holidays so its actually 33, a lot of places also let you take extra days off as paid flexi leave if you work overtime

Okay, British pubs. A typical pub usually comes with two areas to drink/eat. The Public Bar is a place is where you'd have a pint of beer or whatever, play darts, billiards, snooker or pool. Usually has a tv for sports or background noise lol you would sit on stools at the bar. A place you'd go with your mates/work colleagues. Back in the day it would be frequented more by men. The Saloon Bar is the quiet area if you like. The seats are much more plush, with deep buttoning and low tables. There's usually a slot machine/one armed bandit to gamble on. It's where you'd find a jukebox. A place to take your girlfriend or to meet girls. The two areas would be separate but share the same bar. However they would have their own entrances/doorways from the street. Food is much more ornate. Food in the Public bar would mainly consist of snacks.

When we're all in a pub with friends, we all say, who's going up to the bar to get the drinks. It's the only time we say the word bar, when actually in the pub. When outside at home, we say, who wants to go to the pub. Lol. And we also bring the children with us. It's such a great atmosphere. 👍

With the Manchester bombings it was at a concert so alot of people had travelled to see it. Taxis drivers for different cities especially Liverpool drove down to give people lifts back to their city and make sure they go back okay.

That Canadian, she sure was nice at the beginning thanking everyone for watching. That nice Canadian. Nice.

Community spirit I luv it. you can't beat it. Makes feel warm inside. from UK 🇬🇧👍👍

Merry Christmas Tyler, from England

Hello Tyler, wishing you a merry christmas and a happy new year . We are too used to the history and landscapes etc that we don’t really think about it much. Take care 😘🇺🇸⛄️🎄🎁🥶

Love Canadians.I can't wait for CANZUK. Happy Christmas fella and have a great new year.

During Covid on Thursday nights, people in the UK stood in their front yard or on their doorstep and applauded cheered the health service and nurses.

That was so very interesting. I have always been interested in trying to understand how the "witch fever" came into existence and how it hurt so many, of what I consider to be, innocent people. I had never heard about this case, child, and her long standing influence in British and American law. Thank you for taking the time to go into historical depth.

I'm retired now but when working I had six weeks fully paid holidays from work plus all public holidays fully paid as well.

nice you watched elana, she is canadian, and has so great first class content on her channel

Your coffee shop analogy is a pretty good one, that's what pubs are like, in the summer lots of pubs set up benches and tables outside in the pub garden in the sunshine, btw the word Pub is short for Public House

I’ve seen a lot of England and the architecture. And I live in Bradford West Yorkshire and I’m 60 years old and still see things I’ve not seen. This lady your watching I’ve watched a lot of her videos and she sounds genuine love how she comes across.

On a walk, in the country, fields are often separated by stiles, which one climbs over.

A lot of pubs (public houses) were started off as Coaching Inns, whereby in olden days before the motor car, for long journeys the horses would need to rest and be fed and watered before continuing on their journey, some pubs are called The Coach and Horses etc.

"Medieval" burial mounds were mentioned but, in my experience, burial mounds are much, much older than the medieval period (500-1500 AD) and date from pre-history, long before even the Roman invasion 2000 years ago.

Pub is a shortening of Public House which originally provided Food, Drinks and Accomodation for travellers. Yes these days children can go for family meals with adults. Some Pubs have play areas for kids. They need to leave by 9pm but this could vary depending upon the Pubs Licence. We also have Wine Bars, general or themed Bars, Sporting Venues, Licensed Restaurants.

I think the main difference is a pub is a mixture between a bar and a restaurant.

Alanna's (Adventures and Naps) vlogs are great, she really speaks from experience, love you Alanna 💕

I will never get bored of living in somerset, originally from Essex. The countryside and buildings are beautiful in both counties. You should definitely visit England

Pub is just short for Public House.... From what I've read _The term derives from the metal or wooden bar (barrier) that is often located along the length of the_ "bar"

Pubs come from the term, public house, and many of them are still like walking into a house, very cottage style, low wooden beams, cosy lighting, open fire/log burners where a bar is just an open area with seats, tables, alcohol and probably some sort of activity going in, whether it’s football on the tv, loud music, people having shots and getting trollied. You could quite easily walk into a pub with a book, have a few drinks and just relax there all day

Grew up in London visited it twice later have always loved it! 😇🙏👌💖💕💖🇬🇧

In the UK the bar is the part of a Pub where you get your drink. The Pub is the building, they’re usually family friendly and serve meals too. In America bars are more geared towards watching sports

The UK has many public rights of way (Public footpaths). These are ancient footpaths which cannot be blocked or moved unless given permission by a court.

Some of this will have already been said. Pubs are Public Houses and originally would have had two bars, a Public Bar and a Saloon Bar or Lounge. The Public Bar was rough and ready and would have been used by workmen in their work clothes. The Lounge would have been plusher and frequented by business types. Today many Pubs are still like this, but many are Lounge Bar quality throughout as we no longer have lots of factory workers dockers etc. There are two types of Pubs, Free Houses and Tied Pubs. Tied pubs are owned by breweries and employ a Publican or Landlord to run it for them or rent it out to the Landlord so that he can run it as his own business. With a tied Pub you have to buy your beer from your Brewery along with all the other stock. The brewery would own the premises. A free house would often belong to the Publican, and he would be free to sell beers etc from more than one brewery. Among Pubs today there are many that were originally Coaching Inns. Today many of these are Hotels others are pubs often with accommodation. Drinks sold are regulated by the Government and glasses for beer are marked with a crown and sometimes with a line. These marks show that the glass is approved and will take the full amount you are being served i.e., a pint or half. Unmarked glasses can be used, but only if the pump supplying the beer is automatic and measures out the correct amount of product. This also applies for other drinks like wine. All spirits either have to be dispensed from an optic, a measure on the bottle or by the use of a tot measure, again approved by the Government. Customs officers from the Weights and Measures department do check on Pubs and short measures are treated seriously. The also test the Specific Gravity of products to ensure that they have not been watered down. I've been in a pub when I have seen the SG of the beer being tested and that the automatic pump was dispensing the correct amount. I'm sure you know, but there are some interesting KZfaq films on interesting Pubs, look at London Pubs.

About the architecture - what helps maintain old buildings is the "listing" system. There are different grades of listing according to the age of a property, and rules governing the degree to which they have to be maintained. There are about 500,000 listed buildings on the National Heritage List for England, and if you buy a listed building you have to get planning permission for any work you want to do on the building. Repairs are made by tradesmen trained to use historically accurate methods and materials, as if the building had been repaired in the era it was built. I'm not British, but I recommend watching videos of the TV shows "Escape to the Country" and "Grand Designs" which I think you would like (if you can find the time).

In one of our locals, there is a play area both 😮inside and outside, it also serves delicious food. The other one has a beer garden.

Bath is near Bristol. Love your videos.

I wouldn't in a million years take my son to a bar, however, on our drives to and from Scotland or Wales on our holidays, we stop off at a rural pub for lunch and maybe a play in the kids play area outside that they usually have. There's normally swings and slides etc in a play area round the back so on sunny days we can play with him while we wait for food so he isn't bored. On cold days, they usually have crayons and paper for the kids to draw and sometimes even books for them to read while you wait. In the daytime, it's not really a drinking establishment it's more, have a pint and meal. At night time it turns into a drinking place. It's great if you're going somewhere, can always stop off and have some fairly decent, sometimes better sometimes worse, food and have a break from driving. We live fairly rurally too, in front and behind cow farms and the pubs all around us all allow dogs too so.. it's for the whole family Including pets during the daytime

Public right of way is clearly signposted, and there is a prepared track. I am currently at my local village pub , and almost the entire path is between two large wheat fields. There are fences and barbed wire either side of the truck for fallow periods, when the lower field is used for horses, so you don’t actually come into contact with any livestock.

Hey Tyler. Public right of way across land (or trails as you call them) have existed for 100's of years so farmers have no say in letting people across their land. Most people are respectful of the farmers land. Pubs especially the local area or village ones are a hub for the community. It's where every chit chats. Many still have a wood burning open fire going in winter. Often these pubs have a darts and/or pool (billiards) team representing the pub. They have quiz nights as well. As mentioned they are family orientated now. The other way pubs are used and this is fairly common post work on a Friday the companies staff hit the pub to chit chat, bond and wind down.

Bath, a city in South west England, was a Roman settlement called Aqua Sulis. It has thermal springs and the Roman baths are today a tourist attraction. Bath also has a beautiful Abbey and wonderful Georgian architecture. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧

Bath is named after the Roman Bathhouses that still stand there, it is the last city one would normally travel through when going from London to Bristol, where Bristol is on the west coast (London is near the East coast), and so Bristol has historically been a major trading port to America. In the UK it's 28 days minimum vacation for a full time employee, not 25 days and it is statutory law thus mandatory. The reason it is 28 is that there is normally 8 bank holidays (national holidays) within the UK so it'd be 4 weeks + 8 bank holidays, but companies do not need to give you bank holidays off, they still need to give you a day off for working it. Yea, there are public walkways which travel through fields and what not, they are sign posted with arrows. England in general puts more emphasis on walking than America. Unless you live complete rural, you almost always are in walking distance of at least one shop in the UK. Rivers also tend to have public walkways next to them, at least on one side. Pubs are more family orientated than bars, Pubs are much more "3rd places", since they cater to families but also serve alcohol. People over here do refer to their "local", as in their nearest pub (in walking distance) that they frequent. I have seen a few pubs that do have little outside playgrounds like jungle gyms, even seen one that had a bouncy castle tho I think they had a booking for a child's birthday party that day. We have Coffee shops in the UK, obviously there is the chains like starbucks over here and we have our own British chains, such as Costa (now owned by Coca-cola) and Caffe Nero. But there are also independent coffee shops too, so there is a big selection of coffee shops in the UK.

Easiest way the think of pubs is, pub is short for public house - so it’s like community living room, cozy place to relax , chat and eat x

Up to a point if you live in the U.K. you do take the surrounding history for granted. However visiting a beautiful ancient city such as Winchester which I did last Summer for the first time in over 10 years I was fully aware and appreciative of its beauty and history. The great Cathedral, begun in the 11th c, was as awesome and magnificent to me as it was when I first visited over 25 years ago.

Tyler. There's either a iron gate or a stile in which you 1. 2. Step over to the next field and 2 steps down. From UK 🇬🇧👍👍

I lived in a village where the population was about 200 and there was a tiny stone church that was still used. It had been built in the 14th century. It was always open, anyone could go in and sit or look around. Sometimes I used to go in and just sit in the quiet.

The gates the Lady was referring to are called a Stile (for climbing over a fence) or a Kissing Gate (for passing through), The Defence Bunkers from the war have mostly just been left in the fields where they were built there are still hundreds all up the east coast next to the roads they were to defend in case of invasion, Concrete sound mirrors in Kent now there's an interesting relic, The birth of radar. just found your channel love the vids

the whole of the UK countryside is crisscrossed with public footpaths (sometimes just a muddy track across a field). there are signposts pointing the way and farmers have to allow access. The good ones put up additional and highly visible signs so you don't wander all over their land. often it is really tricky to know where you are supposed to go. There are sometimes warnings 'bull in field' or similar. Sometimes dog walkers are trampled to death by cows, but hey, that's what can happen if you let your dog loose in a field of cows!

Hope you get to England one day Tyler, A nice pint has your name on it, Keep up the good work. 🍺🍺
