Channel 5 was our fifth terrestrial TV channel, which launched in 1997. Chanel No. 5 is a French perfume. Honestly Tyler, I'm embarrassed for you, son!

Channel 5 is a TV channel. Chanel No5 is a French perfume.

chanel no5 is a perfume not a tv channel

The worms were supposed to irrigate the ground. You know, bore lots of tiny little tunnels to drain the pitch? There did used to be unicorns in Scotland, apparently, but the native wild haggis killed them all off. Too much competition for grazing.

Strictly speaking, slavery wasn't legal in England since soon after the Norman conquest, although serfdom existed. In the Somerset case of 1772, Lord Mansfield ruled that, as slavery was not recognised by English law, James Somerset, a slave who had been brought to England and then escaped, could not be forcibly sent to Jamaica for sale, and he was set free. But slavery existed in the British colonies and was abolished in 1833. The prohibition on slavery and servitude is now codified under Article 4 of the European Convention on Human Rights, in force since 1953 and incorporated directly into United Kingdom law by the Human Rights Act 1998. So I don't know where the 2010 date comes from.

Mr Chubb was sent by his wife to an auction to by a set of 6 antique dining chairs. Instead he came back without the chairs but having spent £7000 on buying Stonehenge.. Not surprised that his wife was furious. The stones were very uncomfortable to sit on while having dinner.

Cecil Chubb was my great uncle’s grandfather. He didn’t really buy Stonehenge for his wife, he did it to make sure a non-Brit couldn’t own it and move it. Hence the gift to the nation.

Ignore the haters. The ravens, at the site of the Tower of London, go back to ancient Welsh/Celtic Myths, The Mabinogion. Brans head (that could still talk) was buried on the site. The ravens from Dinas Bran escorted the head to London. It is said that the kingdom and the Tower of London will fall if the six resident ravens ever leave the fortress.

Knows Less now than when he started watching UK videos.

The official language of the court of England was French, due to the Norman overlords at the time. The common folk would've spoken dialects of English so it's not like the entire country was French speaking - just the small ruling minority. It wasn't 600 years either. By the time the 14th century came around the English were fighting the French so wanted to be more English, hence why the court language then changed to the local language of the populous

Bristol is in an area of England known as the West country Edinburgh is on the east coast of Scotland

Chubb locks were very popular in the UK. They were rebranded as Yale and Union locks.

Wales national animal is a dragon, like on the Welsh flag

The fact that Brisol is further East than Edinburgh is 'surprising' because Bristol is on the West Coast of England, and Edinburgh is on the East coast of Scotland. You need to look at a map which is correctly oriented North/ South in order to see how this works. Often maps of the British Isles are rotated so that it looks as if the South coast runs West to East. 'Chanel No.5' is a perfume by Chanel.......It was a conceit that they should be the first thing advertised on the TV chanNel 5. Easy to misread, I know....but. Cecil Chubb didn't 'give it back'. Stonehenge was on privately owned land. Until he 'gave it to the nation', it was a piece of private property. Scientific research has identified that cows from different REGIONS of the UK have different sounding 'voices'. THE COWS DON'T KNOW WHERE THEY ARE - THEY JUST MAKE DIFFERENT SOUNDS!!!!

I hate it when Tyler can’t be bothered to read the information properly like channel 5 and Chanel no. 5

He excels himself on this one!

How on earth did he not know what the blitz was????

I luv ya buddy💖💕 You really showed your American this time 😂😂 🇨🇦

Can you not read? CHANEL No. 5 - as in world-famous designer Coco Chanel's perfume - was advertised on tv CHANNEL 5.

3:19 they were taking the piss out of them 🤣

In Britain a fire brigade crew can call for extra assistance by calling in "Make engines three". When the Blitz hit the old goods station in Shoreditch the crew called "Make engines 3". So a senior officer came out. He called in "Make engines 10". The brigade chief said "Ridiculous!" and drove out to see for himself. A few minutes later he called in "Make engines one thousand".

Oh dear! When you read about the dyslexia centre in Reading you say it Reding as in the colour! And about Channel 5. The advert was about a perfume said as follows "shanel no.5"

Regarding the Anglo-Zanzibar war. Unfortunately, 500 Zanzibar casualties were recorded - and one British sailor was injured. That's partly why Zanzibar surrendered so quickly.

Scotland has the unicorn, and Wales has the red dragon as a national animal.

Just a note that Reading is pronounced as the past tense so sounds like Redding.

I knew as soon as we started he was gonna read the deluxe perfume as the channel as well. And i must say, not knowing Chanel No 5 is weird ad hell. Ive known it since i was a kid just because Marilyn Monroe loved it and told us that's all she wears in bed way before i was even born. So it became iconic long before i was born.

The Welsh dragon is real 2...

Although most maps of the UK on it's own show the county upright it is in fact tilted backward so that Scotland is more to the west and England more to the east. This puts Bristol further east than Edinburgh.

The Jersey is a British breed of small dairy cattle from Jersey, in the British Channel Islands. The Jersey adapts well to various climates and environments, and unlike many breeds originating in temperate climates, tolerates heat well. It has been exported to many countries of the world; in some of them, including Denmark, France, New Zealand and the United States. The Jersey cows moo in a New Jersey accent in the US.

Ugh, please read the comments below

hi tyler the national animal of england is the lion. a unicorn is the only animal that can kill a lion....... apparently!!! therefore the scots chose the unicorn to annoy the english, it is scottish humour. us english dont really care about unicorns, but we do care about beating the scots at football, and vice versa!

Someone please explain to me, but don't expect me to read the comments.

1. French was only the official language for about 300 years not 600. 2. Slavery was technically banned in England by William the Conqueror, this was apparently done to make him some more money. Slavery, which was the buying and selling of a person, died off in around the 12th century. What was left were serfs which were a bit like slaves but a little more freedom. All slavery was then officially illegal in 1807 but before that they weren't any slaves in britian but for british slave owners outside of the UK and in 1833 in the British empire.

Being an island in the gulf stream with a massive continent next door, lots of weather systems meet above our shores, causing constantly changing weather and tornados. I'd argue though we are very lucky as yes, we do get more tornadoes than any where else but they are mostly tiny and away from big towns so there's rarely any serious damage or injury.

Oliver Cromwell is probably the only person that has a separate Wikipedia article for his decapitated head. They thought sticking it on a pike would be enough of a deterrent against usurping the monarchy, but the trials and tribulations of Cromwell's head is probably more of a warning in "what could happen to you in the 3 centuries after your dead body is decapitated". As for fictional national animals, the closest country to Scotland that has one is Wales. England's national animal being the lion might not sound made up, although this might: native animals in England used to include cave lions, sabre-tooth cats, and (because you need a coat for the British weather) woolly mammoths and woolly rhinos.

Jon Cleese's father's surname being Cheese makes sense, since Cleese is pronounced to rhyme with Cheese Every American channel I've seen makes that mistake, along with mispronouncing Daniel Craig's surname

Chubb locks are still going I think.

HMS Belfast, during the Cold War generals thought that the Soviet Union might use the large Scratchwood services as a staging post if they invaded. HMS Belfast would spoil their day it they did.

The United Kingdom is a Kingdom, The clues in the title lol

Churchill was 'bottom' of the whole school? Needs clarification there...

It's odd because Edinburgh is on the East coast of Scotland and Bristol is a port on the West coast of England. Chanel (one 'n') number 5 is a perfume by the French parfumier Chanel, that is the irony. Regarding Slavery, did you know that the British navy blockaded the West African coast to prevent slavers and effectively stopped the slave trade to the US and Caribbean. It is said that if all the ravens leave the Tower of London, Britain will be defeated. Worms burrow and create drainage, but Darlington was too wet for them. You should have read the response to the Unicorn story which was just below, I managed to read it.

I sometimes wonder if Tyler and Ryan grew up in the same home...

The posthumous execution of Cromwell was because of the Christian belief that the body had to be whole to be able to go to heaven, so to ensure this couldn't happen, the corpse was hung, drawn and quartered.

'The lion and the unicorn were fighting for the crown.' If you look at the Kings coat of arms, youll see both the lion and unicorn with the crown in between.

There is an old proverb that says “if the ravens ever leave the Tower of London Great Britain will fall” thus if all the ravens had died during the blitz the nation would have been defeated in WWII.

About the cows: they have an accent compared with other cows, with no correlation to the human accent. Or at least that's what I assume it must mean. I don't think a cow will have a West Country accent

Some sheep in one part of the UK negated the cattle grids by rolling across them - suddenly sheep were doing it all over the UK. How did they know? I think they must have been taught by aliens.😆😆😆😆

Not reading it's pronounced Red-ding it's a big town in Berkshire with a very well known University.

In the shortest war that ended after between 38 to 45 minutes of fighting 500 Zanzibaris were killed and wounded, one Zanzibar ship was destroyed and sunk, one Zanzibar shore battery (battalion) was destroyed. On the British side 1 sailor was wounded. Zanzibar is today part of Tanzania.

You're much more entertaining when you're not being stupid on purpose

Oliver Cromwell was a key figure in the British Civil War which ended with the execution of King Charles the first. You should check out the Civil War to get more of an idea of what went on.

Channel and Chanel are two different words mate hahahaha

Easiest way to understand it is that the UK is a country of countries. It’s a sovereign country made of 4 non-sovereign countries.

The UK is a country made of countries in the way America is a State made of States. The definitions of country and state and nation are very loose.

The UK is a bit like America but with less countries (or states), and the four main states (countries) being are known as the United Kingdom of Great Britain (England, Wales and Scotland) and Northern Ireland; The United Kingdom or just the UK. A bit like the USA (United States of America); change the 'States' to countries. So, you could say the US is not one country (state) but a collection of countries (states). Though I may be wrong! Then there's the Crown Dependencies, and things get awkward!

Tyler, my man - I've seen people explain this speaking French thing before - it's no wonder people think that you never read the comments? For a start, that 600 years figure is extremely exaggerated - perhaps just a typing error. William the Conqueror came from Normandy in France in 1066 and spoke Norman French - a kind of dialect of French. So of course all his Court did too. However - laws & edicts etc. were written in Latin as that was a common language among the educated class and of course The Church - and is still used today in legal, medical, pharmaceutical etc. language so people from different language groups can share scholarship/ideas/discoveries. Even though The Court spoke Norman French the population of England kept on speaking English. In fact the English language grew during this time because we took some of their words and made them English words. Just about all of those words are the ones that people in the USA think we spell "wrong"(like "colour" etc.). Then, a few hundred years later it became fashionable for upper class people to speak French as a 2nd language. Even in Australia when I was at school French was taught. But, at no time did ordinary English people speak either Norman or Parisienne French. As for Oliver Cromwell? It's amazing you don't know who he is...because if it were not for him the USA would not have been settled the way it is now. In fact, it might have become French speaking!! Under Cromwell England became a Republic of the most repressive rule in its entire history. Yeah, they exhumed him because the usual fate of traitors was to have bits of themselves on poles in towns all over the country. As Cromwell's son succeeded him for a while this hadn't happened, so the irate population figured "Better late than never" and dug him up so people could continue to be reminded what his fate had been.

Cromwell really should be better known in the states, as he led a republic. And quite a religious one. You get the picture.

The language aspect is official language was french. The nobility was basically speaking french. The normal e ery day citizen spoke french and english etc. The official language for formal documents was actually written by the clergy and was in medieval latin. Chauser's works was one of the first to actually be written and published in English and marks a change in language use and official recognition. I know you can't do a reaction video on this but if you really want to learn British history I highly recommend The British History Podcast. Really thorough and enjoyable podcast. Edit to add to this when we first moved to England for school we encountered a dairy farm that had these cows on this huge slowly rotating platform and was playing classical music. We asked the farmer why and he told us research showed it sweetened the milk. The cow regional accent i am not sure about but maybe its more that certain livestock would be bred with others in the same regions for centuries so likely certain characteristics would be bred into them

6:17 you read that wrong. Chanel (shannell) number 5 is a perfume. It just looks like Channel 5

Edinburgh is on the east side of Scotland but Bristol is on west side of England but because the island is tilted to the left it is true

Oliver Cromwell WAS exhumed from Westminster Abbey and thrown into a pit. He overthrew the King and started the Civil War. Stonehenge was bought by a private citizen at one time and then returned to the nation. The legend is if the ravens ever leave the Tower of London, England will fall. They are kept there by the Guards.

Both Winston Churchill and Albert Einstein were both Dyslexic, this is why they struggled so much at school. Also just like Scotland's national animal is a Unicorn. Wales' national animal is the Welsh Dragon.

I was embarrassed he couldn't pronounce Winston Churchill'd name as if he doesn't know who he was. He pronounced it Church - hill...

chanel no.5 is a perfume

Cecil Chubb had nothing to do with the locksmith. Though the bit about Stonehenge is partly true.

Bristol is really further east than Edinburgh?? wow!

Yep if you look at the spelling there’s one less N so it’s pronounced shanel it’s a French 🇫🇷 women’s perfume

French was spoken for THREE hundred years and only by the aristocracy. William the Conqueror outlawed slavery in 1086.

Cows do moo in a regional accent

16:30 - Yup. Unsurprising since I'm from Wales and we have a dragon..... so a unicorn isn't exactly unexpected (well aside from the sheep as well)

Chanel No5 is the name of a perfume

Britian ended slavery lol in the world, by blockading africa and south america and preventing the transfer of slaves on sea, look up the west african squadron and how slavery was made illgeal. Slaves in mainland uk were never really a thing either (post vikings), we used the surfdom loophole.

Typical American…. That can’t be true, they can’t all be as cool as you. Keep up the Great work

Edinburgh is the most Eastern city in Scotland central belt. Righ by the coast and Bristol is western England near the Welsh border, so you would think Edinburgh was east of Bristol. Honest surprised you didn't just look at them on Google maps and you would have understood better

We lost 40,000 people in the blitz. Knocks 9/11 into a cocked hat! Mostly they were women and some children but most kids had been evacuated to the countryside. Men home on leave, the elderly and disabled. London, Birmingham, Coventry, Plymouth, Exeter, Liverpool, Hull (my aunty Pat was born 1 streets down from the bombing) York, Cardiff, Manchester, Sunderland, Belfast, and Glasgow.

The language thing is wrong. Only the Norman rulers spoke a form of French, but even they spoke English within 300 years . Cromwell had executed King Charles 1st. When his son became King they took Cromwell's body out of Westminster Abbey & executed it. Slavery was banned in 11th century. Chubb bought the land which included Stonehenge. Britain just parked a couple of warships in the harbour, so they gave in. A few years ago a Dutchman had to be sent for because the British farmer couldn't get them to understand him, they only knew Dutch. The Blitz was the bombing of Britain. Several pet ravens are always kept at the Tower of London. The worms were meant to mix up the soil to drain it. This didn't happen. The tornadoes from the Atlantic, & UK landmass is small. Someone long ago had a vision if a unicorn in Scotland. The Belfast is a battleship. The guns have to point somewhere. The UK is made of 4 countries like the USA is made up of 50 sovereign states.

On the map Bristol is sort of on the west coast of England and Edinburgh is sort of on the east coast of Scotland. Bristol is further East? ok I believe it, UKs a strange shape.

12:59 By the way, it's pronounced "redding", not "reading"

Cecil: Cecil sounds like [SES] + [UHL] - in the UK.

Proof that, even though Ryan comes across as a nice guy he doesn't read comments, only the ruling classes spoke French. Also Channel has two Ns whereas Chanel has only one.

How do you pronounce the city of "READING" Pennsylvania. Just asking !

Hey, Tyler, which is farther east: Reno, Nevada or Los Angeles, California? Tyler: Gee, I don't know. What is Los Angeles? Is it a city by water? "We don't really have those in America."

6:25 - No, the ad was not for ChanNel 5, it was for CHANEL number 5, the famous perfume fragrence.... Read more closely next time 11:1 - "How do cows know what region they're in?" Did you really just ask that question? Seriously? You think for that fact to be true the cows would have to know what region they're in and "decide" to adopt the accent? It can't just be some wierd biological thing?

Belvoir Castle 🏰 the spelling is French. Origin. 1066 ( and all that😅) pronounced in English beaver castle

Only the ruling class spoke French, the majority of the land spoke their native tongue. Eventually as time went on it became obvious that it was necessary to integrate and English became the language of the country as a whole.

King Richard III his remains were found underneath a car park in Leicester

Channel No 5 is a perfume.

I'm sure there was a guy that they made the tv program on

Is Tyler real or AU (artificial unintelligence)?

It wouldn't surprise me if some outfit bought the stone circle and made it into a theme park. Ans they'll be burger stands between the stones.!!

French was NOT spoken in England for 600 years. It was introduced by the Normans in1066 and was only spoken by the aristocracy. French was the official language of the king's court and nobles. It became extinct after 300 years but common English absorbed a good number of French words during that time.

If we do have a lot of Tornadoes then any country then it's only very tiny Tornadoes and no damage is ever done.

Tyler ..you forgot the Welsh dragon already? 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Winston Church-Hill?? 🤣

This slavery law to stop slavery. The name of the act gives it away the new slavery act. To. Stop Human traffickers

Leeds is a city northeast England. But leeds castle is south of London

It is very try that a unicorn is Scotland national animal and was supposed to be the enemy of England.

Has he not heard the story and legend about the ravens in the Tower of London?

River Thames - pronounced "Temms" not "Tames" ..jeez Louise..how long have you been "here to learn".

"Does any other country have a national animal that's fictional?" Hope you're ready for another UK fact... 😂
