Hey! I'm Alanna - a twenty-something documenting my life as a Canadian living in England.
I share the ups and downs of an expat living abroad and what it's really like living in the UK. It's not always easy, but there's been so many wonderful experiences, too. I post a KZfaq video every Tuesday and an additional video every Saturday on my Patreon account. I also livestream every Wednesday and Sunday at 6:30pm GMT on Twitch.

As a born and bred Brit, I find your insights fascinating and not in the slightest bit rude! RE toilet/bathroom - you’ll often hear people say they’re looking for “the ladies/gents” as a polite way of referring to the toilets - eg, “I’m just popping to the ladies”. “Bathroom” would imply that the room contains a bath that you wish to use.

So yes. It seems the more popular someone is, there'll always be haters. We just have to offer support as 'normal' people (I used inverted commas as I'm a bit unusual myself haha) and hope that she isn't put off posting her delightful videos because of a minority,

And I’m sure your Grandma’s Yorkshire pudding was the amazing, as was my Granny’s. It seems such a simple thing, but it is so good! My feeble attempts at recreating it, although not as good as hers, are enough to remind me of how special she was, and how important family traditions really are.

Himi Jendrix, I don't think "chronological" is the right word. The point is that it makes sense to arrange the measurements of time in order of either smallest to largest, or largest to smallest. The British way makes sense because we say day, month, year = smallest, middle, largest. The Canadian way makes no sense to me because they say month, day, year = middle, smallest, largest. It's like it's totally random and not in the correct order.

On your last point, I remember when I first got together with my American girlfriend years ago, and I asked her to pass my dressing gown one morning and she almost laughed herself inside out. I wasn't familiar enough with her dialect yet to realise that I needed to say "robe", which to me is a word for something that a wizard might wear, whereas for her the term "dressing gown" put her in mind of the sleeping garments of a Victorian child.

@SteveGouldinSpain 6 жыл бұрын

Wow that depends on what you do and what lifestyle you're after. Madrid and Barcelona are cities with a buzz and have the most employment opportunities. The north of Spain generally has a lot more industry than the south, but I prefer Murcia and Andalucia - different pace of life. It's much harder to get work in the south but if you can teach English you can pretty much get a job anywhere. I prefer inland Spain - I've lived in a couple of quite small towns(population about 10,000) away from the coast and from all the tourism nonsense. The quality of life for me here is about as good as it gets - low crime, low cost of living, lots of sun, peaceful, quiet and surrounded by friendly, slightly crazy people who seem to love life as a profession! (Oh but my friend Santi would kill me if I didn't say that the best food in Spain is undoubtedly in the Basque country!)

Very weird, it's like we just cant make the switch to metric no matter how hard we try. By the way, 1 stone = 14lbs.

Thoroughly enjoyed your observations in both episode 1 and 2, really gave me a good laugh. It's great that there are cultural differences and it's those that make holidays in particular all the more fun. Looking forward to episode 3 and by the way Kent is a great county to explore with many "hidden" villages that take you back to another time. Many thanks for the videos.

I never understand why your videos get any hate - I love watching you because I'm fascinated by the surprising things which you pick up on. My partner thought it was weird that I had instant coffee when we met, and she's British! I think it's more of a class thing, maybe regional too. Loose leaf tea and proper coffee are for some reason considered middle class

@grahamshellswell4513 6 жыл бұрын

You’ll Probably get told this a million times, but I think saying ‘Right!’ Is just short for ‘Right then!’ Or ‘ok then’. And as you’ve pointed out, it’s the way we try and wrap up perhaps an awkward end of a conversation which has become so embedded into our culture, we don’t even notice. 😂 Please, don’t go back to where you came from, stay here and keep enjoying England 👍🏻

@anonymes2884 6 жыл бұрын

Yeah it's "Right", "Righto", "Right then" etc. All of the above. For me I think it's the same sense as "Right" normally has (as in voicing agreement) _except_ it's a verbalisation of the end of a thought process (maybe a barely conscious one), like you've made up your mind, come to an agreement _with yourself_ that you're now going to do something (usually leave for somewhere else but i'll also say for instance "Right. Cuppa anyone ?" as in i've agreed with myself to make a brew and so will now offer one to everyone else too or "Right. Let's get the dishes done" etc.).

I always watch your videos and I don't comment because I don't have anything to say, but I want to tell you how much I love and appreciate your videos. And I do have a suggestion. I know you struggle with the introduction, but one simple change you could make that would make a big difference it to say your name: "Hi, everyone. It's me, _Lana."_ (I hope I got your name right. You never say it so I'm not sure.)

This is just brilliant. I love how you point out our quaint differences. I was travelling to Blackpool on a train last year where I overheard two American ladies saying "there are no rest rooms on British trains I really need a restroom" My wife and I pointed out that the sign indicating where the "W.C." was, was indeed a restroom. We all laughed so hard. Keep up the interesting and lovely work.

I'm from Canada and went to California. When I asked a waitress where the bathroom was she looked at me strangely and then said, "Oh! You mean the restroom!" I never hear the term restroom used here. It's either bathroom or washroom.

Lots of stuff we say is just habit, copied from our parents and environment. Interesting about 'Right' - never questioned it before. My late mother used to say 'What' instead of 'Right'... Coffee - try getting a Cafetiere , 'cos the stainless mesh filter's built in. Ground coffee , no paper filters and the convenience of Instant. Please don't think that you sound complaining - your observations are honest, intelligent and witty; ignore the negative comments. My family tends to use the word 'loo' thinking it sounds , well, less direct than toilet. Incidentally, in the Black Country, toilets were often referred to as 'bogs' in the past : e.g. " Where's Dave ? " - " Oh, he's in the bog " . I believe that term's now gone out of fashion !
