Pubs aren't like US bars: they're social centres. People go to the pub not just for drinking, but to play games, chat with friends, and even read. Having a decent number of pubs is a reasonable measure for one's social well-being. Pub is short for 'public house' which gives a better sense of what role they fill.

Pub culture is huge in the UK, its the hub of the community, u don't have to drink to go to the pub and children are allowed in so family's will go at a weekend and hang out most town pubs have beer gardens where the kids can run around and play

I grew up in Orkney, and it is an amazing place to live. The reason it’s so affordable is because it’s so remote. Not everyone wants to live that far north - it’s further north than Moscow, and closer to the capital of Norway than the capital of the UK. Orkney has a great deal of Norse heritage, and only became part of Scotland in the late 15th century, and older Orcadians don’t really think of themselves as Scottish or Norse, but a mix of the two (but given that the Norse language ‘Norn’ spoken in the islands died out in the 19th Century, Scotland is definitely the stronger half). Some of the oldest man made buildings in the world are found in Orkney, and the ancient religion which resulted in stone henges being built all over the UK originated in Orkney. It is a beautiful and unique place, and if you visit, I recommend late June or early July, as the weather is nice, and the days are very long (at the end of June, the sun barely dips below the horizon, so you can sit and enjoy the sunset and then the sunrise). Prepare for unpredictable weather though - you can have beautiful warm weather in the morning, and sideways rain in the afternoon. And the pubs… well, I grew up on one of the mid-sized islands, it had a population of around 200 people when I was a teenager, and it had two pubs, so yes, high pub density ;) Pubs are really a bit like community living rooms, with snacks, beer, board games, and dogs.

He made loads of mistakes in this video. 1, pictures of Bath when talking about Belfast 2, Rutland is Britain's smallest County no Country. 3. Pubs are not like American bars, they're usually the centre of a community where families go to eat. Bars just for drinking usually found in town centres and cities. 4. Yeh he got it wrong he said least instead of most, attractive. 5. Derbyshire dales the southern part of the peak district national park often referred to as the White Peak. The North part being known as the dark peak. Even though Derbyshire is spelt with an E its pronounced dArbyshire with a hard A. And shire is the way Americans pronounce New Hampshire its shur not shiiiiiire. 6. Richmondshire. No such place... its a council (local government authority) that covers 3 quite large towns in North Yorkshire. I've not seen a list of best places to live putting Orkney as number 1. Orkney also very cold very windy very wet and gets dark at 14:30 in the winter. Long sumner days though. Often still light at 23:30 at night

Wales countryside is absolutely stunning, its so very peaceful & the tranquility is awesome ty for the video 🇬🇧👍🇬🇧👍🇬🇧the m25 is a major motorway.

I adore pubs in the uk. I've spent so much time drinking and spending time with friends in them. Probably one of the best parts of the uk. Even if I'm out hiking with friends nothing like going into a small town or village. Having a pint and some cheap but tasty food.

You did well to handle the narrator's mistakes, mis-speaks and the fact that the narration wasn't very well synced with the images on screen. I really enjoy your reaction videos - you seem genuinely interested, question things to gain a better understanding and make the whole thing enjoyably interactive. You make me smile too with your cool sense of humour and your expressive facial reactions! Keep up the great work Tyler.

I was born London, but moved to Cornwall 37 years ago. Cornwall is very beautiful and has small fishing villages, stunning beaches, a moor, pubs, and inns, it also has it's own language! Wales is very beautiful too with it's wonderful landscapes and mountains.

Furthest away from London would be a plus for me.

St Albans was founded by the Romans - then known as Verulameum. That cute little building is the cathedral, built by the Normans a thousand years ago or thereabouts.

Pubs are,and always have been,important hubs for the local community in the UK.Don’t diss the fact how important pubs are to these communities. Get your arse into a village pub and soak up the atmosphere,you’ll have friends within a couple of hours.

Rutland is the smallest county in the UK, not a country! There's mo such place as Richmondshire. Richmond is a town. I would recommend watching a video of the UK best places to live narrated by a British person. It would be less confusing & with more accuracy.

As someone who lives in York, I'm very happy it's one of the best places to live.

My dad picked the village we live in because there were 5 pubs and only 1 church within a mile of the house. So the answer to the question is yes, typically, we use number of pubs as a metric over everything else :D.

Devon, Cornwall and Wales are stunning.

Pubs in the UK are really important. We meet people there and socialise the same way you might go to a community centre or coffee shop.

"Do people in the UK like seafood?" Looks around and notices Great Britain is an island surrounded by seas. Finds out one of the most popular meals in the UK is FISH and chips. Yep - most of us like at least some kind of seafood 😃

While the UK is small travelling from some places by road or train can take 4 plus hours. St Albans is amazing place but expensive. There's some very expensive large villlages or towns round there will multi million pound mansions but on a trainline that takes 20 minutes into central London. Good to see my home city of York listed. Yes very old historical city. small and compact.

Do the British eat Fish 😂🐟 We live on an Island, the furthest you can be away from the Sea is about 70 miles. So properly fresh fish is readily available just about everywhere. Fish and Chips is a national favourite, all sorts of Sea foods are eaten as well.

Winchester was once the capital of England, as pronounced by Alfred the Great in 871, around about when the Danes ruled the rest of the country. It’s been occupied since 8,800 BC. It’s also got a very nice, big cathedral with a replica of King Arthur’s round table nailed to a wall, a river running through it with a mill that’s now next to a Pizza Express and a lovely Cornish pasty shop on the high street. Some good art shops, too. And, it’s got quite a good school, too, and trains are fast tracked to London. To live in Winchester and buy a place, you’ve got to earn she’d loads. That’s not the whole city … Jane Austen lived there for a while. Pubs aren’t just drinking places in the UK. They’re a way of life - you meet your friends there, have Sunday lunch, celebrate birthdays, etc.

I grew up in Sandbanks, on the south coast, its the 4th richest place in the world and its also one of the most beautiful too.

One thing you need to consider bud is that in the main the train service and the bus service is pretty efficient and reliable in England, to the point that even people in the smaller towns and villages have a regular reliable method of commuting. Also you hit the nail on the head in terms of living in the areas surrounding London, they aren't the cheapest but they are cheaper than living IN London, so you get an easy commute, a cheaper cost of living, safer environment but still earn the higher money by being able to commute to London, also handy for a good night out.

Derbyshire is pronounced Darbyshure and is a county. If you want an Americans perspective of what it's like to live in the UK check out videos by AMANDA RAE (her channel name is all caps)

The amount of Pubs is definitely not relevant but the quality of pubs is. A Pub is not just a place to drink copious amounts of alcohol (but on Friday & Saturday nights it probably is). A good Pub will have well kept Beer and most serve good food as well. They are a meeting point for friends and families. Going to the Pub usually consists of a 2 or 3 drinks and a meal, with the exception of the aforementioned Friday and Saturday nights. In many villages the Pub is the hub of village life. My Village Pub has a Darts Team, a Tug-O-War Team, a Football Team, a monthly Quiz Night and weekly food themes (this week is Thai Food).

You need to have a British made best places to live, as an American made video always raises eyebrows with Brits. I, myself, disagree with most of these towns as being among the best. London is not the be all and end all of places to commute to!! Don't forget, most American place names and names come from the UK and Europe.

All these places show have houses that have a price tag between £300,000 to £1,000,000+.

Pubs are part of community life here. Having a good decent pub means the community is sound. We got 2 very near our place and they’re lovely.

I think when he said “Country” for Rutland he meant “County”

Greetings from York, I am totally biased but York is great! Cant believe we were beaten!!

What the heck is B’dale? It’s Bee-dale. The Yorkshire Dales are great. Bit chilly in winter. OMG - you’ve heard of Belfast? It’s the capital of Northern Ireland, as the man says. Where the Titanic was built. (Heart of The Troubles.) Everywhere in N Ireland is a near Belfast. You don’t necessarily live in Belfast but you commute from the countryside. N Ireland has the first Hollywood - this one in County Down - nice there. Beaches. Tollymore Forest Park. People commute from Ireland to the north to work and to shop and for just about anything. The old family farm has arts in the north and the south. Some farms have the border running down the road. That’s what all the fuss is about post-Brexit.

I'm from Stockport, a large town about 10 miles away from Manchester City centre, but there's places like Buxton, and the Lake district in the Northwest of England. I am part Scottish, Welsh, English and Irish and believe me the UK is beyond beautiful. we have laws prohibiting over building and ruining landscapes so the video you watched was seriously poorly researched. but I love your channel and your reactions.

I was born in Winchester which used to be the capital of England. It’s a beautiful place.

BTW, the M25 is not cool, it's a nightmare! 😂 PS the random buildings that you keep mentioning, not random but cathedrals, which used to be a prerequisite for being a city! I don't really agree with any of these! You need to look at a list done by people in the UK...I mean some of the choices are very questionable!

I'm amazed at your reaction to the "number of pubs" comment. You've clearly no idea what a pub is. Don't think "US bar", they're as different as chalk and cheese. A high number of pubs in a place is a very good indicator of good social cohesion and community spirit.

I think they were only going by listed statistics, where as if you ask a brit it may well be a different list and probably longer

I live about 30min drive from Rutland and can confirm it is a stunningly beautiful county (not country) 🤣 I could never afford to live there, but am lucky I can visit very easily 😁

To be fair, 85% of the pop.of The UK of GB and Northern Ireland live in England.

The Dales ,valley bottoms that where formed by glaciers in the last ice age cutting through the limestone rock.

Most people use trains for commuting to a major city like London to go to work because in London parking a car is very expensive and travelling by car is very time consuming due to conjested traffic. So an annual ticket allows you to travel every day with minimal hassle.

Just to put the "Pub" in context from a British view - every single house I have ever bought/rented or stayed on holiday at has been ultimately determined by it's proximity to a decent pub, - & I am not alone..... the Pub is the social hub of the local community.... when the village pub closes down, the village life dies!

The village of Edwinstowe is a very picturesque village dating back to the 11th Century. It has very economic housing and many beautiful parks including Sherwood Forest the home of Robin Hood. There is also Rufford Abbey and Clumber Park. It only takes 2 hours to get to London by train

Hey Bud, I was born and raised in the Port Town of Dover, Kent in the South East of England. Dover is the closet point in the UK to France at 22 miles and is 20 minutes away from the entrance to the channel tunnel to the west at Cheriton, Folkestone which is the next town over from Dover. On a clear day sunny day you can sit on the top of Langdon Cliffs (the iconic WHITE CLIFFS OF DOVER) and see the French coast but my favourite view is one at that cannot be seen from ANYWHERE else in the UK has to be sitting on the clifftop after dark on a clear night and watch the headlights of the cars as they travel along following as it goes inland and then back again the meandering route of the coastal roads of France. Another favourite thing of mine is to sit on the cliffs and watch thunderstorms come across the channel from Europe, they're like a black curtain coming across. If there's lightning, you can sometimes see the bolt hit the water and skip across it like skipping a stone, it sometimes hits cross channel ferries as well. When this happens it'll temporarily trip the lights and the ferry goes dark, then you see all the lights flicker back into life. We also have Dover castle which Hitler wanted to use as his headquarters if the nazis had taken over during world war two as it has panoramic views of the English channel. STAY SAFE my friend 🙏😎👍

There is no physical boarder between the Republic and Northern Ireland. You usually only realise you have crossed it because the road signs and markings are different. People crisscross the border for work, shopping etc. all the time. There are over 200 roads that cross the border, in some places the same road, leading from one town to another in the Republic actually cuts across parts of Northern Ireland.

The ability to commute by train to London for work every day has a massive effect on house prices. Chelmsford is a 35 minute train ride to London with an annual unlimited season ticket. Which is currently £4,480 per year. You have to distinguish between places to live to work, and places to live/retire. Many leave the family in a better place to live, while working away during the week. Also many of the best remote places to live are now dominated by people buying second homes. So they are "empty" during the "off season". Which pushes up house prices, so the locals can no longer afford to live there.

The difference between America and the UK, is the rich history and the architecture from hundreds of years ago. Furthest place from London would be John o Groats in Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Fun bit of trivia Rutland is the smallest COUNTY but at high tide the Isle of Wight is smaller. As for pubs, pubs are the heart of the community, many a wife knew where her husband was and would call the pub to tell him to get his ass home, as he was late lol, but they are also where everyone gets to meet and many used to raise money for local charities etc. The one in the village I grew up in used to have raffles etc to raise money so the kids could go out on day trips etc as many couldn't afford to otherwise. It's not like it so much now, but pubs are still the centre of many communities, and that's why we love them.

6:34 I can confirm major meetings are held in London despite the fact people come from all over the country to attend (Cardiff, Liverpool, Leeds etc)

There’s 46k pubs in the UK. That’s down 14k since 2000.

Just for size to get from the most Northern place(Giants Causeway) in Northern Ireland to the most southern place(Cranfield Point) in Northern Ireland takes 1 hour 2 mins by car or 14 hours 3 mins to walk lol East(Bellek) to West (Portavigie) of Northern Ireland is 2 hours 51 min by car and 41 hours to walk.

Do people of the UK like seafood? considering its surrounded by water the answer is obvious to most.

I live in Chelmsford , interesting fact it was capital of the Uk for 7 days several hundred years ago

Train times to London is approx 1 hour verses 2 hour PLUS by vehicle, then you have to pay to park your vehicle.

"Is that how we're measuring? The number of pubs?" yes!

Bristol is fantastic, to the North we have the beautiful county of Gloucestershire, and to the south we have mysterious Somerset. I was born and raised in Bristol, I've lived in Somerset now for 4 years and in a few weeks I'm moving to Glastonbury in Somerset.

From where I live in the Northwest of England in Manchester, it would take me 4 hours and 30 minutes to get to London by car. Small community’s do look out for each other.

Edinburgh, I studied there and lived on the Royal Mile, INCREDIBLE!! I'm Irish, from Dublin but living in the West now. I worked in London, it's INSANE! The Cotswolds in the Uk is like a fairytale, google earth it.

That narrator was wrong: Derbyshire is pronounced "darbisher" not "derrbisher".

Chelmsford is close to me. It’s also where Marconi, although Italian, developed the radio. Not the US.

Pubs have so much going on… they’re places to relax and have a good time. Mist serve excellent food, have pool tables, dart boards, quiz nights and many have live music regularly. Friends, families and community groups can meet at the pub for lunches and nights out. Pubs are the focal point for the community to meet and enjoy themselves. So yes, the more there are, the better 😊

Rutland is a county, it's probably a typo on his script

Why do we have all the cool architecture... because we don't tear everything down and rebuild every 25-50 years The cost of the train ticket into London is expensive in my book, our trains are overpriced, HOWEVER, because of the cost of living in London, many jobs have what is called "London weighting" which means that you get paid extra because London is so expensive, and this extra money could very well more than cover the cost of that ticket. Yes pups are an important metric, we have a pub culture in the uk... going to the pub is not about getting drunk (Well it can be), it is a social thing. Northern Ireland does have the advantage over the rest of the UK that it was not as badly affected by Brexit as the rest of the UK because of the Good Friday peace Agreement, which means that there is a seamless border between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. So yes people can travel freely between them, but also trade... which means that Northern Ireland as seamless trade with the EU as a whole, the rest of the UK does not have that benefit. I think the guy misspoke. Rutland is a ceremonial County and it's political designation is as a Unitary Authority... A unitary authority is a form of local government has the powers of both a County Council and District Council in one. The downside to the Orkneys is that it is remote (by UK standards) and because it is very far North, while on the plus side is very long days in summer (18 hours), the days in winter are very short (6 hours).

Derby is pronounced Darby. Of course there are better places to live than on the list, not saying where as don't want the world and its mother inundating the area.

18:42 Not too far from where I live on the edge of the Peak District National Park. It's got lot's of nice rural landscape but also also not too isolated. I'm closer to Sheffield than Leeds but Manchester and York are also not that far. You could easily cover York on your channel Tyler, this guy didn't say anything about it really. I've been there half a dozen times and it still feels like there's stuff I've missed. It has 2 millenia of history to explore, being occupied and built by Romans and Vikings.

M25 - don’t go there. It’ll do your head in on most days. Season tickets - you can get a loan from your employer for an annual train season ticket usually. Houses are much cheaper outside London but you get an extra salary - the inner or outer London weighting - for being employed in London and incurring additional expenses, as items in London are more expensive than elsewhere.

London to the last railway station in England (Carlisle) is a 3.5 hour train journey. 2 hours more takes you to Edinburgh (Scotland's capital city)...except we're having train strikes presently!!

Richmondshire is not a place! The town of Richmond in Yorkshire is 😁 There is also a Richmond in London so don’t get them mixed up. And yes, the pub is very important for socialising. You don’t have drink alcohol, they will make you a lovely cup of tea if you want 😁

In my experience the number of pubs is without a doubt the most important thing about choosing a new area to live

Lived in Norwich for sometime and found it a really nice city. Its not a bad 2hr commute to London (by train). Visited the Isle of Wight a few times and wouldn't mind settling their one day. Went to Scarborough back in June for a concert. Really, really liked the place. As an ex-Londoner I'll always have a soft spot for the Capital. I keep hearing good things about Sheffield. Started off in Witham, just north of Chelmsford. Boring as hell. Don't remember good things of Chelmsford. Maybe it's improved a lot since I left?

Well, that was a weird set of places they picked out. I live in Norwich, and it's said we have a pub for every day of the year and a church (that's the really old medieval ones) for every week of the year. Not sure that's quite true anymore, but nearly. Best bit of your reaction, watching you trying to work out what a Dale is lol.

Hi from the UK, loving your videos ! The narrator was wrong on a few things but someones already pointed that out. There's tons more places to check out in the UK. Wales is beautiful, Scotland, the lake District, and my favourite place Whitby in yorkshire !

Add up ur car payment, fuel and car maintenance for the year, as well as parking costs ect living with out a car is very possible in the UK

Hey Tyler..New subscriber love your vids..thanks for educating me on my own country 😅🤣 🇬🇧 and yes pubs are a big deal here love from London 😘

My two most favourite places in the whole world are in the uk. I absolutely love Edinburgh - it has all the city amenities but still feels like a smaller community. For outstanding scenery I'd always choose Gower Peninsula - property there is so expensive though...

Rutland is very nice. There’s a fabulous wedding venue right besides Rutland Water that serves Chinese food! No dry roast chicken.

For people travelling to London to work, we pay a lot of money each day for travelling. It can be about 40-45 USD to travel just 30 minutes to get to London and use the underground then get home, as we are travelling 'peak' hours to get to work. Travelling to large towns outside of 'peak' travel Monday to Friday means that your travel is cheaper, often if you leave by train after 9.30am it will be half price. It's best for tourists to avoid travelling around 8-9am in the morning too, as us workers are are trying to get to work :0) Most people don't need to travel into London from Monday through to Friday to work any more, as most people in offices are working hybrid. St Albans is just a few miles away from where I grew up, and is an old roman city. More pubs per head in this city than any other English city, from what I understand. It's very historic and the cathedral is beautiful.

" how do they Know the things"! They know everything Tyler, this the UK 2022, big brother is watching you!!

"The Winchester" is the name of the pub featured in the film 'Shaun of the dead' and was mentioned probably more than anything else. Obviously because us brits either drink tea in a crisis or because if the world is ending, you're gonna want something more substantial than tea. So that also might be another time you've heard of Winchester if you have actually seen the film.

If you like scenery places i'd 100% recommend checking out The Cotswolds videos, so many beautiful places there! :)

Read Terry Pratchett and Neil Gasman’s “Good Omens” it give a errrrm! Good description of the M25 basically the London Ring Road.

Tyler has gone from being "an ordinary, everyday American" to correcting the Narrator that Rutland is not a Country. 🤣 We have learnt alot on this Channel.

I live East of Chelmsford, its,on my train route to work in London. Takes 2 hours to travel in. My season ticket is almost £10k

Limestone - In specific areas of the country, buildings have to conform to the local stone quarried in the area. Good examples are the Cotswolds, Derbyshire (your case in question here), Northamptonshire, and many other areas.

Glasgow (Scotland) to London by train is 4.5 hours, so most of Britain isn’t too far away time wise, barring the Scottish Highlands and further most Wales. to dive tip of Scotland to the furthest southwest in England is about 15 hours

£3,500 is about $4,400 - it is expensive, yes, but it’s for commuters travelling into London for work and lots of places in the commuter belts around the south-east of England pay much more than that for their daily commute into London. Apart from anything else it costs money simply to drive into London (congestion charge) as well as having to park the car all day which could be expensive unless your employer has staff parking facilities.

"Orkney sounds cool" yep, the winters will be VERY cool. And long, too, probably.

M25 Central Ring Road around London = "NIGHTMARE" 😵😳😱😤 just ask anyone trying to get into London. London is not England😤😵 Keep those videos coming 😀 We love our pubs💖😜 It's not Richmonshire😂It's just Richmond, a district that is part of North Yorkshire. Belfast is where the most famous ship ever was built 🤔... The TITANIC. Take care 🇬🇧💖😃

He meant "county" not country. also I don't believe he meant to say the least attractive.

I live in Torquay or Torbay in England and it's called the English Riviera...but never mentioned in these utube videos and is by far the best place in the UK.. and Devon the county it's in has some of the best scenery in the world with lots of little hidden gems and beautiful little villages and coastal village's...

You can fly from Bristol, England to Edinburgh, Scotland in 40 minutes.

York is awesome, Its one of the best places to visit in the UK. Sadly I live near Cardiff in Wales so its too far to visit regularly.

Tyler, you need to look at a documentary on British pubs (Public Houses), especially the older and country pubs. Very different from US bars! It will give you a better idea of what people over here are talking about.

I'm close to Derbyshire. That's to say, I'm officially in Cheshire, but 8 miles North of me is Lancashire, and less than a mile South of me is Derbyshire. On a hot summer day I have often walked to Buxton, a beautiful spa town 20 miles or so to my South. It's amazing countryside.

Europe architecture is cooler than the US because it's older ! The M 25 is a nightmare. I don't necessarily agree with the choice of places to live . People commute into London to work, because it's too expensive to live in the capital.

Pubs, Inns, Hostelries, its all about enjoying a convivial drink (and food) and a really good chat with both people you know and locals perhaps you don't know - until you get to meet them and find they too are like old friends.

This is a bit like a film trailer, where they show you the best bits. Don’t get me wrong, there are a lot of beautiful places here in the Uk, but most of us do not live in them! Love hearing your reactions. 👍💕🇬🇧

ahh Tyler you made me laugh lol we do love our pubs thats for sure ;-) and why not? the british pub is what the american comedy 'Cheers' was based on.... have a look at Brighton and Hove which is known as london on sea, if youre interested in small town life have a look at Truro in cornwall - stunning beautiful town in the most beautiful county of england.

Derbyshire is pronounced like Darbysher'. The letter 'r' is usually pronounced much more softly in English, when compared to US English pronunciation. So '-shire' is an unstressed syllable, and is almost '-shuh' or '-sher'. You also have to know about short and long vowel lengths. Short vowels have become almost forgotten by US English speakers. Furthermore, many village, town, city and county place names have quirks in pronunciation that are of numerous to go into here. I'll just mention a few county names: Most county names are stressed on the first syllable. 'Derbyshire' has a stressed first syllable with the 'e' becoming an 'a', and the other two syllables are unstressed and shortened,:as shown above.. Yorkshire becomes 'Yorksher', Lincolnshire becomes 'Linkunsher', Nottinghamshire becomes 'Nottingumsher', Leicestershire becomes 'Lestersher', Worcestershire becomes 'Wustersher' and Warwickshire becomes 'Worricksher'. All very different to place names with similar spellings in the USA.

It talks about York but zero mention that it was founded by the Romans two thousand years ago and then taken over by the Vikings a few hundred years after that, becoming the capital of the Danelaw, or that extensive parts of the original Viking wall are still in place around the city, as well as some of the older Roman ruins. And no photos of the idyllic streets.

Yes, pubs are very important to British people - however, we are not all alcoholics. You will find more people out on Fridays and Saturdays, pubs sometimes have live music or a DJ, it's a place for you to go and have a nice time. Sunday afternoons, pubs are more like american bars, we will have sports on the TVs in the pub and have a few drinks. We have a very focused pub culture, it is a place we go to just relax and hang out, after a bit of retail therapy, you may stop off for a drink or two with a friend. It's just what we do. We often have a 'local' - a pub that is close to where we live.

I don't drink but we could definitely make a drinking game to these videos for those who do. 1. Drink when he pauses the video to ask a question that gets answered immediately when he plays the video again. 2. Take a shot when he *Googles* something that gets answered in the video. I'll add more as I think of them. Others should add to this too.
