That ai f applicable in Scotland It’s illegal to drink in a public place and you WILL get rozzered

@@pauls3204 it is generally covered with by-laws in most of the UK or with offences related to behaviour under the influence of alcohol. It can be complicated that the land on the threshold of a licenced premises will have a definition as to whether consumption is allowed.

Pubs used to close in the day time due to licencing laws until the late 1980s so it's only a recent thing

@@milestone090 No they weren't. Pubs opened 11am until 3pm. ( some counties differed, ie Oxford was 10.30 to 2.30. And Gwynedd was a dry county on a Sunday) but pubs did open during the day. Restaurants who had a license could serve alcohol throughout the day as longer as the guest ate a meal. Watch Alexei Sayle's '24hrs drinking' from the mid 80's. There were lots of ways around the drinking laws.

It's really normal in Denmark for teenagers and 20s + to sit in parks drinking alcohol purchased in stores as prices are SO expensive in bars & restaurants.

Yeeeees I am here for an American reacts to Eurovision video

It's a bag of shit is what it is. Sincerely - An Englishman.

It's officially a song contest, not a singing contest, though in reality the two go together. Every country's entry is an original song, written specifically for the contest. It's a mixture of established and new acts. Katrina and the waves were already well known, but I don't think this year's entry from the UK was. Swedish band, ABBA wrote and performed Waterloo for Eurovision, and this was important in breaking into the UK and getting known outside their home country generally. Also, Eurovision is no longer limited to Europe. Australia (yes, that's Australia in the southern hemisphere, not a typo of Austria) now takes part!

It used to be good years ago when Russia was one big country but as it’s all split up now they just vote for each other and it’s now become very political so if one country has done something that nobody likes they don’t get votes ie Ukraine 🇺🇦 won it this year 🤷‍♀️ and it wasn’t because they had a good song 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

@@martineyles And Canada's joining in 2023, I believe.

Yess. So yum, my dad used to make them

They are British, in that they are traditional Scottish pancakes and Scotland is part of Britain.

100 grams flour 2 eggs 300 milk

I'm English, never known anybody put anything other than sugar and lemon juice on pancakes. They're made from a basic univeral batter used almost everywhere on earth. Nobody can claim ownership. It's like saying "We invented milk."

@@adstewart5427 ‘Those pancakes aren't British’ isn’t the same saying all ‘thin pancakes are British’

Yea me too.. lookit up maye lol

Omg the swindon roundabouts are a leap of faith 😂

Did you know the magic roundabout guy passed recently.......RIP........

That roundabout angers my parents whenever we go to the Swindon outlet

I don't drive, but I've done practise lessons. Even having just done some practise lessons, I came across a triple roundabout within a few lessons, shit wasn't fair, but I managed☠️ It was those small white roundabouts that are made of just white paint on the road, too. With them being so small, it made them harder to go about properly. I mean, driving through them is easy. However, if I had a test on them, it could prove to be a pain.

Yeah the WatchMojo lot proving again they don't understand the UK. "Smothered in butter" hardly anyone would have butter with a British pancake, as you say lemon juice and confectioners sugar or caster sugar.

I've always called those things they showed Drop Scones. Very nice, but not pancakes. (And yes, lemon and caster sugar is the only way to eat them!)

They are not pancakes and who puts butter on them???

The pancakes shown in the video look like Scotch pancakes to me, which are the type of pancakes we have in Scotland…which is part of the U.K. They are often eaten cold with lots of butter and maybe even jam on them. Not everything in the U.K. is England centric, remember there are three other countries that also come under the heading of U.K.

@@lynnejamieson2063 my family is Scottish we certainly didn't eat that kind of pancake on Shrove Tuesday. Lenten bannocks don't look like that either.

Yes and they are awesome. They came and fixed my neighbours wooden gate after her mother died. Great guys

It's an opportunity to laugh at the ridiculous costumes and song titles.

Whatever word is used for toilet, it becomes distasteful and we look for the next euphemism. Even lavatory and toilet were euphemisms in the first place. Let's just call a bog a bog!

I must admit I don't understand the " half bathroom " , a bathroom includes a bath/shower, a toilet on its own is a WC, lavatory, toilet, throne room, bog etc. I have actually heard a few americans call it the " potty room " which when first hearing that, I was confused, I thought they were after a padded cell for someone that had gone potty lol

Yep, a bathroom contains a bath. If it doesn't contain a bath, it isn't a bathroom. If you called something a half bathroom, I'd expect it to contain a bath but not a toilet or sink. I actually have been to some houses where the bath is in a room next door to the toilet and sink, so that someone soaking in the bath doesn't stop others using the toilet.

@@Bazroshan Drives me crazy...it aint a Bathroom, it's a toilet..or if you like you can call it the loo, the gents, the ladies, the bog, the Kharsi etc, etc.

@@martineyles is that two half bathrooms? Actually that was how it was in many older houses, indeed the toilet was often in a separate "outhouse" or "boghouse" with a bathroom in the main building.

Depends on how much you pay !

My memory from many years ago is that garages switched in the 70's/early 80s because the old rotary counters on the pumps were wearing out as the increasing cost per gallon sent them spinning round like a roulette wheel - seriously!!!

Never thought about that before lol yeah that’s weird

for small distances i use feet and inches but large i use meter sand klicks AND it still is a PINT of beer

And actually common in the USA. Just certain states.

@@rusticpartyeditz that's not what you call "common". There's around 8k in the whole US. Uk has around 30k and France has almost 70k ( counting simple roundabout "markings" as one in all cases since they've got the same effect). The numbers have definitely be one the rise in some US states lately for sure, so they'll eventually get there. It's still too soon to call them common in any state though.

@@bumblebee5508 AFAIK, it's because the British increased the size of the wine barrel (or maybe hogshead) and the US stuck with the existing one. Then gallons and pints are the same divisions of barrel. Best Wishes. ☮

@@bumblebee5508 Thank you for asking. At some point in distant history, the cider-making Bulmers, and I are likely related. However, I'm from the North East of England. Bulmer is a big family there. Wikipedia lists our family name back to Anglo-Saxon, Pre-Norman invasion, times, living in North Yorkshire. Then later at Brancepeth castle, near Durham. I say "Bulmer, as in the cider" to help people spell my name. Are you related to: _b bumble & the stingers ... bumble boogie_ kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bNCZprGZndC0j5s.html 🤔😄 Best Wishes. ☮

@@bumblebee5508 Both are one eighth of their respective gallons.

@@bumblebee5508 😄

We both have 8 pints making a gallon - however, a US gallon is only 6 UK pints.

Pints for Milk Beer and Cider were retained and still are legal official units. Because of the cost for pubs to replace all the beer glasses. And for the dairies to replace all the milk bottling machines and bottles.

Im 60 and its the same here in Canada .People give their height in feet and weight by pounds. We can do weather both ways, we will say miles when talking klicks. Personally thing I hate on metric is theres nothing ard foot or feet,,,, we still all like to say x amount of feet

I still measure in feet and inches, I hand it over to the builders merchants and let them work it out LOL

Same here...mostly! I still want 'miles' and MPH (fortunately we never converted road signs and speed limits in KM or KPH - I wouldn't have a clue how far or how fast!!). Pint of beer or milk is still perfect..... I wouldn't want to be trying to ask for 550-ish millilitres of beer in a pub - I'd sound a right Pratt!! The only 'metric' that I do like is temperature; celsius just makes perfect sense to me:- if it's freezing it's 0 (zero) or below, which it is at the time I'm typing this!! 😆

True. I always get a good laugh also by giving people a simple sum in old money and watching how wrong they get it and how it blows their minds!

Yep cant beat going to B and Q for 2 metres of 2x4 timber 🤣

Bless you Tyler for wanting to educate yourself. Respect ! One of the things to accept is that most of Americas laws, measurements, etc etc developed from, or totallly copied, the British. I know it seems a long time ago, but you still benefit from the standards, measurements etc. taken to the US by the British settlers ! WE used the Imperial measurements until we joined the European Union, ( most of the rest of Europe, banding together to make one "country" politically , under one set of rules and laws etc. There is one over reaching political "dictatorship" ( individual countries have their own Parliaments but are expected to adopt the overarching rules and laws of the European Commission . The Commission HQ is in Brussels, and is largely "ruled" by unelected representatives. Of all of the member countries only 5 paid in every year, the rest got it handed out to them ! Needless to say, the UK was one of the five net givers! It was supposed to help backward and poorer nations to bring themselves up to date, new roads etc. However 6 years ago, fed up with the Commission, and our loss of freedom to make our own laws etc. the UK voted to Leave, and leave we did. So we are now a Sovereign nation in charge of our own laws etc and holding on to our own money and using it here. The remaining EU countries have never forgiven us for this, and the EU commission is still, after 6 years, doing all it can to prevent us doing well regarding trade, and they have introduced the most difficult rules and regulations for the UK trading goods in Europe. However we are FREE ! Just thought you might like a tiny explanation, there is so much more I am sure is available on Google. There is now talk of the UK reverting to Imperial Measurements too. Bring it on !

@@marycarver1542 . There was never a time when we didn't make our own laws. As for measurements, I was using the metric system back in 1958 and the UK will never go back to using imperial measurements, the idea is utterly stupid.

@@grahvis The UK uses both systems, still does.

@@anthonyferris8912 . Yes, metric for precision, imperial when that isn't necessary, or for some reason, is more convenient. I once had an old measuring cylinder marked in fluid ounces, I had a developing tank that held 10 oz and used developer diluted 1+9. I have worked with younger people who would look blank if I quoted a size in inches, they had no idea what I meant.

@@grahvis My local market traders still have everything in pounds. The town also has a lot of Eastern Europeans and Ukrainians, so god knows what they make of it all.

I think the last measurement over here you want to mess with is the size of a pint 😂

You do need to give the Romans much of the credit for what became the Imperial system, ^oo^

The American system is slightly different to the British system

Thank god metric didn't fully take hold in UK.

@@Dan.Dawson Well metric is the only system used in the UK in design and engineering - simply because it just works so much better and mistakes are far less common (with out all the bonkers 8ths of inches, but 12 inches to a foot, 3 feet to yard and 1760 yards in a mile) - but when the real work is done, the final measurement can be in Imperial, because (a) it doesn't matter at that point and (b) The one advantage Imperial has is that its quantities like a pint, gallon, inch, foot etc are based on very useable and relatable quantities - so over all I'm pretty happy with our mixed up system, as long as no one's forcing anyone to do important calculations with the oddities of the Imperial system, ^oo^

American Imperial system is different to the British system. Quantities are different.

Every person has equal "Right of Way" on a Public Highway. Drivers of motor vehicles have to be qualified and insured with vehicles conforming to standards. Vehicles might have " priority " or have to "Give Way" at junctions.

We have them in Canada, too

Struggling to understand why anyone with such little knowledge of a topic would choose to post a video that demonstrates how uninformed they are. The constant stopping was also really annoying. Do the research before the review in future Tyler.

Don't worry, the Norwegians and Canadians are being subjected to this nonsense as well.

We also use feet for height and lbs. For the weight of people

And stone for weight

To be fair to our American cousins, baking is all about proportions or ratio, so cups make perfect sense. I have acquired a set of American cups for baking because so many recipes on the internet are from the US. However back when I learned to cook in a British school, I learned proportions (weight) for baking such as pastry was half fat to flour and half butter to lard, a basic cake is equal proportions of eggs, sugar, flour and fat and so on.

I wouldn’t say Nandos are thin on the ground outside of London. You’ll find multiple branches in and around most major cities and towns. I can think of 6-7 within about 5 miles of where I live in Newcastle and probably about 5-6 more that would still be within a 30 minute drive. I think the term ‘Cheeky Nandos’ is very southern though. Nobody would say that up here. Personally I think Nandos is alright, but I’d agree a Kebab or a curry would be more popular

US gallons, pints and inches are all smaller than British Imperial.

I still have my mum’s recipes which use cups ( Uk )

@@tomlynch8114 we have one in my town, never bothered to go there though.

Especially as the loo is often NOT inside the bathroom. It is often in its own separate room.

"Mardi Gras" is literally French for "Fat Tuesday". It surprises me that most Americans don't seem to know the source of the name is French. It comes from the French Cajuns (a mispronunciation of of the "Acadiennes" of Louisiana. (Think New Orleans' French Quarter!) It derives from the practice of using up luxury food items such as fat, sugar and flour before the religious observation of Lent in the French Catholic tradition, a 40-day period of fasting/restricted diet (from the biblical story of Jesus spending 40 days and 40 nights fasting in the desert before his crucifiction on Good Friday and resurrection from the dead on Easter Sunday). Shrove Tuesday/Mardi Gras/Pancake Day is the day before Ash Wednesday, the start of Lent in the Christian calendar.

dont forget spuds came in sacks of half a hunderweight

The only time I really use metric is when using spanners/ratchets etc. Everything else is more or less imperial, pint, psi(pounds per square inch) mph( miles per hour) height in ft and "inches, weight in lbs and ounces, distance in miles, yards etc.

Whereas almost anywhere in Europe, if even the tiniest village has 2 roads crossing, its highly likely a roundabout. But yeah, u nailed it! But just wait, 1 of these days an American will invent this ingenious option of letting crossing roads melt into a circle for smoother, safer traffic, and it will be the invention of the millenia! Just like pizza was invented in New York 🤣🤣

A normal portion of meat (without the bone) per person is 125-150 gram. So that's an easy way to ask for whatever you want at the butchers. Just ad. 1000 gram is 1 kilogram.

I'm British, and when Butchers here were forced to move to metric many customers refused to use it. I remember my Mother sending me to the butchers and asking me to get 5 pound of meat - what my Mother actually asked for was £5 WORTH of meat! So I ended up spending my Mothers last £20 on LOTS of meat oops.

I'm 73 and still can't adapt. I can ballpark temperatures. If I need food I just say give me a hunk of beef or whatever.

@@susieq9801 I'm 51 and always use proper, imperial, measurements.

Half bath=half a bathroom. So called because it doesn’t have all of the fixtures of a full bathroom; only half. It has the toilet but not a tub with a shower head. In some circles there is also a ¾ bath. This is when it has a toilet and a shower stall but not an actual tub. The reasoning is that since you can’t take a proper bath, it can’t be a full bathroom. However, since you can bathe (take a shower), it is more than just a half bathroom.

It's more upper middle to upper class that would call it a bathroom... It's a class specific thing

Yea, I'm 60 and remember the old money but was too young to really understand it. I do remember that the old pennies and thrupenny bits made your hands smell funny.

I'm 21 - too young to understand anything to do with the old money, like wtf is a shilling? However, I'd say most people my age are still fluent with most of the common measurements within the imperial system and can estimate a conversion off the top of our heads with some accuracy. Just growing up in this country forces you to learn both.

I'm not sure we could. I visited Sweden every year, about a decade ago, for technical conference with _lots_ of evening socialising. I'm a bit of a lightweight, but the Swedes were literally drinking beer two for one. I remarked that they were big drinkers, but they responded the Danes are _real_ drinkers. A Dane in our midst, smiled, then said, no, _real_ drinkers are the Finns. Then someone said, no, Russians out-drink Finns, and Russians drink vodka not beer. They all agreed. I think I read soon after that a *lot* more Russians die from alcohol related diseases than us. Best Wishes. ☮

Brits (Anglo-Saxons anyway) have a reputation for drinking a lot that goes back over 1000 years. It was during WW1 that pubs were stopped selling booze every day/all day.

For a few months I was driving a work car that had an American satnav, it called roundabouts "traffic circles".

@@peterjf7723 I am from the UK so may have this totally wrong. The terminology varies between roundabouts and traffic circles from state to state. Technically a roundabout always has a give-way/yield protocol for traffic joinining. I am unsure of how traffic circle work, as the UK only has roundabouts. Sometimes a traffic circle might be a roundabout but sometimes traffic on a traffic circle yield to people joining the circle.

Not realy childish, cups are used to measure stuff, especially for cooking recipes. Not so much in the UK anymore, but before we converted to metric, cooking ingredients were often given in cups, I think it's about 8 ounces when measuring a liquid.
