I'm British but have also lived in Hungary and Croatia. Most of what she described applies to Europe in general, USA is the weird country, not UK.

Roads in the US : designed for cars Roads in the UK : evolved around horses (or in some cases probably pre horse)

I was driving up a single lane road near me, towing a horse trailer. Suddenly I met a huge articulated lorry (truck to you!) coming the other way. There were very few passing places on that road and none behind him, so I flashed my lights to say I was going to back up. It was a long way, but I managed it in one go. As he passed he wound down his window and said, "That's the best bit of backing I've ever seen." Gosh I felt smug! (and still do!)

Its not that all food orders are small they are normal portions not unhealthy sized portions.

The young woman's speech.. " like, like, like, like, like, like, like 😱

Don’t forget some roads in the UK started life as a horse cart track or medieval or Roman roads. So yes, she’s right. That’s why US trucks won’t fit down our roads as they simply are too large. And don’t forget cars and trucks vary in size.

Prisons are smaller, lunatic asylums are smaller, egos are smaller, hell, people are smaller.

They've started trying to sell American pickup trucks and SUVs in the UK and Europe. There's a significant chunk of people that thinks they should be banned.

American culture typically assumes there are three British accents, fancy "What ho old ben", dated cockney "Gorblimey Guvnah" and Long John Silver "Aaarr, Jim Lad!" In fact there can be a new accent every ten or twenty miles throughout the British Isles!

The roads are based on 3000 yrs of history

Tyler, it might help if you read the comments, or interact to show that you’ve read the comments. Some of the stuff here is really informative and people want to know if you’ve seen it!

European roads are HUNDREDS of years old and were built for horse and carts so many are only wide enough for one or two vehicle widths. The towns and villages next to these roads are very old too and can rarely be changed to widen the roads. Obviously there are now some bigger roads and highways but all minor roads are narrow especially compared to the US.

Tyler, you've reacted to all this in previous videos but you never seem to remember it.

Let me sum it up for you , Tyler ... if you go to a different country, things are different. There.

This young lady needs to 'like' listen to herself. Every couple of words was the word "like". If she 'like' used the word once, she 'like' used it 'like' over and over again. Ye Gods! You came close to being 'like' almost as bad a few times, but you weren't 'like' too bad.

Here in Italy and most of Europe, holidays such as Halloween are religious days. I sometimes wonder whether Americans think Easter is a festival celebrating bunnies and chicks. Perhaps the US sees these holidays as just another commercial opportunity.

I've never considered Jason Stathams or Sean Beans accents as posh.

The village where I was born has been around since Saxon times possibly before, the main road through the centre of the village was built around a single cart track

We also have, here in Great Britain 150,000 miles of Public Footpaths so we can walk in the countryside. They are all over the place and are hundreds even thousands of years old.

The roads are different sizes depending on where they are and what volume of traffic they cater for. There are multi lane highways between large cities or cities where there is huge volume of very large commercial vehicles but roads leading to small villages and connecting small rural centres the roads are narrower because a) there is much less traffic and b) to protect the natural beauty of the countryside. The people in the UK are very protective of the beauty of the landscape and do not want to spoil it with massive multi lane highways unless it is necessary. We love our countryside and do not want to spoil it.

English people generally don't go overboard on "holidays" probably because we actually get far more time off (fully paid) than "Muricans" do. It's also quite normal for us not to work weekends, so we are used to having spare time to spend with our families and enjoy ourselves,

How do you not know that UK roads are smaller when you have already reacted to videos showing this 🤔🤯 fml

We have loads of small single track roads here in the UK, mainly in more rural areas where there is less traffic, but they are very common here. In my county in Eastern England most of the roads are narrow with many being single track.

“Outside of London the roads can be one” If you’re driving down a little back country lane, they can be single file. But the way she says it makes it sound common outside of London.

Food: It's called Portion Control. A meals portion is calculated on Calorie Content. It's assumed that people eat 3 meals a day so a meal should be around 750 to 800 calories. A man needs 2,500 a day and a woman needs 2,000 on average to maintain a healthy weight. I saw a breakdown of a large American Fast Food meal and it was close to 3,000 calories in just one meal JUST ONE. The average American eats nearly twice the calories recommend each day. Now i do understand that people who train hard and have very physical jobs and need more, as i said 2,500 and 2,000 is only an average. Being or Feeling Full is a very poor indicator of how much you should eat, the more you eat the more your body expects next time. If you don't feel full or satisfied after a meal drink a large glass of water after and you will, its much healthier that a sugar packed soft drink. On that note a regular Soda in the US has nearly twice the amount of sugar you need in a day, and the sugar you need you will get from your regular calorie intake. So No The Portions in the UK and the rest of the world aren't small they are the correct size.

Why do you never read feedback from commenters on your reactions ? It would be nice to know what you think and have learned. Our roads started as Roman roads and have evolved depending on the traffic. Some country roads are only wide enough for 1 car , other ones, like the Motorways, are 3 lanes on each side. " ACCLIMATED" !? Do you mean ACCLIMATISED !? Halloween, Valentine's Day, Easter and Christmas are NOT " holidays" in the UK ! We call them CELEBRATIONS. Holidays to us are what Americans call VACATIONS.

Tyler would get through a lot more videos in one go and learn a lot more if he’d learn to stop interrupting the person speaking and either pause it before speaking or just shut up and listen

I'm a bus driver in Cornwall. On most of my routes there are portions of road which are about 4 inches wider that the bus (2 inches either side). On-coming traffic have to pull into lay-bys which are intermittently spaced along the road for the purpose of passing and just big enough to pass a car. If I meet an on-coming bus or truck, one of us has to reverse back to where the road is wide enough for bigger vehicles to pass each other. It often requires some 'out-of-the-box' thinking and creative problem solving but it's the challenge that makes the job more interesting. I wouldn't want to drive busses anywhere else. I get paid a decent salary to drive around the Cornish countryside. What's not to love?

Weird British stuff: Colourful tube maps! Weird American stuff: School children getting their heads blown off by assault rifles!

I don't know how long the lady has been in England but if it's not long then when she says she was afraid to speak. She has picked up the English pronunciation of many phrases.

"Why would English roads be smaller?" Do remember that a good number of country roads in the UK existed LONG BEFORE cars even existed, heck, a good number of them would have existed before pilgrims and traders settled in America. Back then they would've used horse-drawn carriages and carts to deliver goods from farms to local towns and cities. The reason why those roads never got wider is that the government would technically be trespassing on the territory of farmers, and most of the time there aren't enough cars going through said country roads to validate spending money on infrastructure. Now, if you go on motorways, yeah, they're wider. Likely because the government purchased the land or already owned the land so that they can build infrastructure. Remember, even the Romans built roads, but they most certainly didn't drive in Teslas! lol! ;D

Where I live and have lived virtually all my life out in rural Lincolnshire amongst all the out of the way villages with no mains gas, virtually all the roads are narrow twisty backroads with no pavements (sidewalks) or street lighting. As I child it was a 9 mile each way trip to the nearest supermarket so growing up, you was confined to the small village and secondary school was over a twenty mile bus journey. Growing up the local sheep outnumbered the people. The tarmac on roads around where I live is no wider in some places than about four foot wide with a grass verge on each side then fields. These are two way roads. Supposedly one lane in each direction but in reality, if you do meet an oncoming car then you both have virtually completely stop and put your outside wheels onto the grass verges to pass or find one of the very few lay-bys to pull up into. Why are they so narrow? Because roads are a later thing. Many rural roads are constricted by field boundaries, hedgerows and dry stone walls that were built many hundreds of years ago and pre date the motor car. Basically they're just tarmacked over old cart tracks. They had to be fitted into the space available unlike in the US where you have a lot of flat, wide open land where you are virtually unrestricted as to the land you can use. Americans talk about how old the UK is but don't seem to understand that there's a link with how we live. The country's history affects many aspects our lives often without thinking. Such as 40% of houses not having a driveway, mostly because many of the terraced houses we have here in the UK were built pre motor car or pre mass ownership of the motor car. It is not rare to live in a house that's 150 or 200 years old. Or when I was a child I would go to church service in a small village church that was almost 1000 years old.

UK country lanes are often extremely narrow, hardly room for 2 cars to pass each other, and the speed limit is usually 60mph too, yet the accident and death rate is considerably lower than the US. Take from that what you will 😂

Americans introducing the word LIKE said every 2 seconds STOP😢

most of the stuff that is considered “normal” in the US is reserved for those that need adapted living here in the UK.

When I went to san Francisco in 2006, I was given a starter of chicken Caesar salad in what used to be British would call a washing up bowl. I was unable to eat it all. My ribs? No way could I even look at them. I learned my lesson that day. Don’t order a side/starter!

Wow! You go to England and they have English accents! Wow!

I think that Britain takes Christmas much more seriously than any other country. Everywhere is shut, trains and buses don't run, you need to pre-book a taxi by paying a deposit etc. I've not been to any other country where everything just stops in the same way.

They still don't know the difference between British and English. Even the ones living in England 🙄

As others have said, outside of cities and towns and major motorway and A road infrastructure, our roads are based on ancient routes used by pedestrians, horses and carts. Some dated back to Neolithic times, 3 or 4 thousand years ago. So what can we do to “improve” this. We could at vast expense buy land from farmers/landowners on either side to widen roads, cut down ancient trees and hedges (we are are doing to much of this already), and transform (for the worse) the British countryside. The choice here is either we adapt our driving behaviour to accommodate narrow roads, e.g giving way to cars coming towards us, or we utterly transform for the worse the countryside. The Uk consensus is that we adapt our driving behaviour to suit and retain the existing precious environment, the American view is to change and alter the environment to suit what humans want to do. Fundamental difference.

Halloween means very little over here. Adults mostly do not celebrate it at all.

You have to remember that our roads were built before the car came into being. A lot of our roads were old Roman roads that were built so that soldiers could march 5 abrest.

would help if you actually listened to what the observation was before blindly guessing for ages

Texan to UK host when given a meal "Heck we grow potatoes twice that size where I come from." Host to Texan "Yes, we grow then to fit our mouths too." Americans don't really understand British sarcasm.

There must be thousands of these stupid vids by Americans 'shocked' at Britain. Tyler has seen most of them and they are always 'shocking news' to him.

The US is approximately forty times the size of UK - go figure, as you say over the pond. As a lot of people have mentioned on this posting, most of the roads here in UK land were built thousands and thousands of years ago. Back then, the only means of transport other than walking, was horse riding or maybe horse drawn carriage. Wide roads etc.... were not required. Buildings are generally stone, or at least brick built and are built close together, so cannot feasably be moved. Giant vehicles which prevail in the US, are not suitable or needed in UK.

I’ve always had a big celebration on Valentine’s Day. I get at least 10 cards, some years more than 20 and I get a load of presents as well. I always take an annual leave day on Valentine’s Day. My husband doesn’t usually take me out for a meal because restaurants tend to be more expensive that day but he always cooks me a meal and gets me cake. But then again, it is my birthday 🎂

Acclimated? Do you mean acclimatised?

No, Dumbo, not all cars are the same size. And, some roads have fewer lanes than others.

We don’t call things like Halloween a holiday. A holiday means time off work or school to us. Halloween was non existent when I was a child but popular now. We don’t rake it seriously though, just a bit of fun

The tube map is so easy to follow due to each line being designated its own colour. The NY subway map is just one colour making it much more difficult to follow.

The country lanes are tiny yes but no problem to drive down if you keep to the etiquette. The major ‘A’ roads with two lanes are perfectly adequate and there are hundreds of them,the Motorways,freeway/highway to you,are also enough. I think clothes sizes should be included. Apparently you have size x10X,ten times extra large!! My God,no wonder you have to have a tray of “food” to fuel sizes like that. The food we have here is generally healthy which means more taste,leading to normal portions because we’ve eaten enough.

I live in a small country village, and the roads round me are basically little more than the width of a car. You usually find roads such as this have slightly wider passing places, for 2 cars to pass if you meet another car coming in the opposite direction.... The culture in Britain is generally not to waste food, and only put on your plate what you know you can eat....

There are videos about Americans driving in the U.K. for the first time. The thumbnail for this video suggests that you are going to explain the differences in detail.

Many, many roads in the UK are way older than America. Many are defined by the very solid stone walls that were built many hundreds of years ago, in the days of horses and carts/carriages/buggys, and have stood the test of time. Any argument with those walls doesn't end well, so one drives accordingly.

Tyler, In the uk or particularly Bristol where I’m from, most roads require you to wait for oncoming vehicles or pull in to spaces to allow oncoming vehicles to pass as they are too narrow for 2 cars to move at once. I assume this is un heard of in the USA

Actually the British are often depicted as villains in Hollywood. In shows with predominantly American character immediately the Brit appears on screen you usually know he'll turn out to be the baddie. Even shows with British leads like Elementary frequently follow this theme.

There are different accents in London alone,I’m south of the river but I could pick out an east ender within a few sentences. Across the whole country though,the accents can change 10 miles away. Listen a Cornishman talking to a geordie (native of the frozen north east,Newcastle) and it’s like two completely different languages,then we have our unique slang which could take up two hours of your time.

Watch first then comment xx

You take holidays seriously because you don’t get any ffs!!

The reason for the colours on the tube map is because they symbolise different lines (e.g Bakerloo, Piccadilly, Victoria, Metropolitan or Jubilee)

The transport colours are so that its easy to find what train line you need, each colour is a different route . I think the only large thing is user-kq5ke5yb6k attitude which needs to be put back in its place . We have less land so roads , houses etc are smaller . The wealthy have big houses and large 4x4's . 4x4's have become a thing in the uk, problem is the car parking bays are not built for them . Don't be mistaken the fast food industry has really taken off in the last decade and we are starting to have an obesity problem just like the usa.

halloween is a catholic celebration ... we are a protestant country ... pretty simple really

When your country is 40 times bigger than another, you have more room for everything. Also our population is 67 million and yours is 335 Million so we have almost 8 times the population density in any comparable area !!!

In the UK roads are classified differently. Firstly you have motorways (M) which is at least a dual carriageway separated by a barrier. Then there are A roads which is a single or dual carriageway which can be separated by a barrier, a or just road lines. Then there are B roads which go from a small single track road to smaller single carriageway road usually through countryside.

Even as a native of Southern California I can’t stand how often she says “like”. I live in Orange County and nobody I know even says like that much😂😂

The losing wait is as much to do with the ingredients as the portions. There are much more sugary things and i think corn starch? in american foods.

Moderation in all things! Our cars are big... enough!. Our servings of food are... sufficient! Our houses may be smaller.... but most of them are brick or stone, solid as a rock, not made of cardboard so thin you can put your foot through the wall.

The American accent is a 'Bastardisation' if you really want to know! 😄

Every time I come across an American they are always so happy loud and jolly… 😊

There was a Radio series, made by a Yorkshireman called, I think, Ian McMillan, he who did a road trip through Yorkshire analysising local accents. He found that accents changed over only a few hundred yards. He had expected maybe town by town but was stunned by the subtle changes over very short distances!

Again england like the rest of Europe is old so the roads was most likely made 800 years before anybody had been to America yet.. 😏

2:07 No, you wouldn't have to buy two meals. Our food is better and more filling. 😉

If “everything makes sense” to dear old Ty, why the feck does he keep on asking or repeating the same topic?? Everrrrrryyyyy reaction video …… the same old … same old….😵‍💫😵‍💫 but I still watch - just incase he has “learned” something and is no longer “confused” about the differences between the big huge USA part of the Americas and the teeny tiny small dot of an island called GB

American cars are much bigger than European, but America's road network developed because of the motor vehicle, our roads date back thousands of years and most of them were laid out centuries before the car was imagined. I live in the Lake District and I'm used to narrow roads and lanes with big scary stone walls right on the edge of the tarmac, so riding in the USA was weird because the guide would say the road was narrow and twisty. Then ten miles later me and the wife were both thinking 'eh, narrow?' However, later when I considered the size of the luggage van and the roads the antique breaks and suspension of our rented Harley's in comparison to my BMW 1200 or the Kawasaki 750 the wife had (she fell for her rented Harley and got herself one when she got home) made sense that comfort was more important than sharp handling when you consider how far you have to ride to get anywhere in America. It was not until I did the classic Chicago to LA Route 66 motorcycle tour that I realised just how vast America is in comparison to Western Europe, which is why everything can be bigger.

Halloween comes from Wales originally, which is part of the U.K. it is celebrated but nowhere on the scale it is in America. It was the end of the Celtic year bonfires were made and people would dress up as animals to harness that creature's power, it was also the time where it was said that the veil between the worlds of the living and the dead was at its thinnest.

The signs are different colours so you know what type of road you’re on. Blue for motorways, green for primary or A roads and white for minor or B roads

Isn't it obvious that the roads of this tiny island are going to be smaller than the US? Has he never seen an average sized car as used in the UK, Europe and Japan ? Wow .

Try out the “Carry On” films. They’re a bit dated, saucy and by todays standard “not everyone’s cup of tea” but they do show case the dry humour of the British, various accents and has a load of double entendres of the 60’s and 70’s. Which ironically hasn’t much changed over the years in some respects.

Where i live (Isle of wight) we have some roads that are 6ft wide in total with small passing points for oncoming traffic

When I was in the Mid-West last year I noticed pick-up trucks that are wider than some of our two-way country roads!

Living in Britain compared to the US is like living in a bed sit compared to a mansion. Of course everything is smaller. Meal portions, cars, clothes, roads, egos. I can assure you that not everyone in the UK talks like they're "Fancy and famous". Some of us are quite common and there's some quite rough people. In short, people in the UK are as varied as they are anywhere else. Halloween here isn't an official holiday, and not that many people take much notice of it. Some do, but not many.

1n the US there are 8.3 road deaths per billion miles driven, in teh UK the figure is 3.8, so British roads are safer whatever the size. In the UK we have a system of motorways which are restricted to certain types of vehicles e.g. no bicycles, no horse-drawn or agricultural traffic etc, These run all over the country, i.e. North South and East West and join major cities a good example is the M6 which runs from London and then joins the M84 into Glasgow in Scotland and there are motorways further North from Glasgow. The M6 is mostly 3 lanes in each direction, but in busy areas it can widen to 4 lanes. There are many examples of this type of road. We also have 2 lane and 3 lane dual carriageway roads which has what we call a central division, you call a median, for less major routes and busy urban areas, we also have single carriageway roads which have one or two lanes in each direction with no median for even less busy areas (although they can get busy and carry a lot of traffic at peak times). Then there are narrow rural roads which carry very little traffic generally. We categorise them as M roads, A roads Trunk roads), A roads (local routes) and B roads (;local and urban low traffic routes), anything below this does not have a designation as far as I know, in France they would be 'R' (rurale) roads. Our cars are also narrower generally. By the way, there is no such word as 'acclimate' (it's an American made up word) the word is 'acclimatize'.

1. Roads in uk are classed as M - for motorway (highway), Duel carriage ways (2 lanes in each direction), A roads (regular main single carriage roads) and B roads (narrow back roads). 2. Portion sized of food are NOT small in uk. It’s American portions that are big. Most of the world has reasonable portion sizes in most restaurants. 3. The colours on transportation/route signs are to easily designate different routes & make things stand out. 4. No not everyone does to all the same in uk. There are many different accents and ways of speaking depending where in uk you go. Us is quite an old country in comparison to America and uk developed many accents in the past before cars were invented when people mostly walked everywhere. What Americans call the British accent is “the queens English/Received Pronunciation”. 5. Some people go all out for holidays in uk. But it’s more the younger generation. The older generations are less likely to celebrate or they celebrate on the down low.

I visited America in October 2010 and I was amazed at how many houses had big Halloween decorations. At the time it was nowhere near as big here in the UK. It is becoming more popular as the years go on but it was definitely different back then.

depending what size road you are on, motorway signs are blue, main roads (single and dual carriage) green and local road signs in white with black writing, and exit roads displayed on a large white sign with the roads displayed in their colour so you know that the one pointing to blue is the motorway, just makes it a little easier to know where you're going without having to read everything on the sign

Re colour / color the money (Notes) are more colourful

"everything is so much smaller"... yeah, that's what she said😅

The actual trains in England are different colours depending where they are going as well. Great Western is dark green, Southern is white and green, South western is blue and red and so on.

I think the average US 6-lane freeway is so generous that there's actually room for 15-20 cars side to side - talk about leaving room for human error! How they still manage to have 4 times more fatalities per capita than the UK is beyond me. Probably shouldn't be stripping down the ol' AR-15 and stuffing burgers in their face whilst driving.... Regular English road are smaller because England's smaller, and we're not big on unnecessarily demolishing whole villages or tarmac-ing over ancient farmland. If we had US style freeways, there wouldn't be anything left for American tourists to go, "Aww, that's so cute! Can we buy it Harry?". There's a huge variety of English accents (and dialects), and not that many of us actually speak with the stereotypical "received pronunciation" depicted in Hollywoodland. Some accents/dialects are really quite impenetrable to foreign visitors - though most Brits can pretty accurately guess where people are from, within 30-40 miles (less in some areas).I think many Americans don't realise that within Scotland, Wales and Eire - each have a multitude of their own accents too. I'm pretty rubbish at perceiving the differences in US accents. I can recognise Noo Yoik, somewhere up near Canada where they say "aboot" instead of "about", West coast (prob. California), and a sort of generic "below the Mason Dixon line" accent, but that's about it. I wonder if we Brits are less enthusiastic about "holidays", because we're more cynical about all the commerce surrounding them. We do get into it a bit, because it's a reason to indulge the kids - but adults (aside from students) dressing up for Halloween isn't normal. Maybe Americans go OTT on these events because they live in America, and just desperately need a reason to celebrate something... (I know, sorry - I just can't resist it).

I wish you’d just watch. You interrupt before she’s finished a sentence.

Another point on the colours is money - all US banknotes are very similar colours - British ones have different colours for different values. Brits are also often stereotyped in movies as the baddies. As far as "the US accent", it depends which one - a hard southern drawl or an Appalachian accent is often seen as either very conservative or yokel, a northeast accent is seen as quite sophisticated (except Brooklyn :) , the Boston accent seems a bit snobbish, etc etc... holidays are celebrated far more traditionally in the UK - usually with a lot less commercialisation. For instance, Hallowe'en is understood to be the beginning of winter and connected with honouring the dead, not with kids trying to get sweets by wearing a silly costume - though Americanisation is creeping in with a lot of those festivals.

A lot of the roads in rural districts are basically just tarmacked old country lanes. They precede motorized traffic.

she certainly like likes the word 'like'

Not only England? Plenty of narrow country back roads in Wales too.

Her, everything is smaller, literally everything (with a picture of a road on the screen) Him, are we talking about food..... Her, talks about roads for 5 minutes Him, I'm confused here

You are hilarious! Roads (at least those LOOOOOOOOONG established) are much more narrow, because they were conceived for pedestrians, people on asses and horses, later maybe an oxen-pulled waggon or a horse drawn carriage - and houses were built alongside of them. Later, with the advance of cars and more and more traffic, newer roads were built wider if possible, but that was not always possible as there were houses in the way already! In many villages, there is a larger main road, but in old established neighborhoods (that tend to be somewhere between 300 and 2500 years old) side roads are very narrow, and one must manoeuvre very carefully and mind pedestrians etc. In some places, if two cars meet head one, one must even drive back a bit in order to let the other pass first and then go… We live in a historically grown environment!

You are quite respectful of British people but don't forget it's not just London. Thank you

15:30 no we don’t 😂 and we know what’s gonna come out your mouth before you do the majority of the time.

Tyler you do make me laugh when you realise what a person is talking about . It's like a mic.drop moment.
