Also, the very first international cricket match was played between Canada and the US in New York in 1844.

They copied rounders too but forgot the rules so made up there own,same with rugby

@@utha2665 that's interesting, I didn't know that. 👍

@@mushroom4051 Both Baseball and Rounders were originally British.

US is about to get back into international cricket.

Because of the speed the ball came at them?

@@cgkennedy and because it was low. He was used to arm height batting. 🤣

I think I remember that on the Sports news which followed the Six O'clock news in NZ. It it's the one I'm remembering it was hilarious, and from memory the TVNZ reporter reporting on it thought it was as well.

@@ABC1701A Yes he kept bragging that he could, and then when he failed it was hilarious. It was on the morning news and was probably shown in countries that play cricket. 🤣🤣

@@cgkennedy exactly! He hadn’t taken into account the bowlers. Even the experts can’t always respond to them.

They make cheese in Kent too so I guess they all go together! 😏

With cheese from cheddar in Somerset England.

It's waifer thin too

And they're just up the road from Rye.

There was a headline in a newspaper some years back about a baby that had been found, having been taken from a town in Massachusetts and it read, “Missing Baby Found In Sandwich.”

I believe there was a form of hamburger in existence in Roman times (not like what we have today obviously)

I'm not sure that's true. For some reason Americans referred to minced (or ground) beef as 'hamburger'. The hamburger sandwich came much later and was definitely an American invention

@@johamlett27 Actually very similar, we have a Roman recipe recovered from a site next to Hadrian's wall. The consisted of a beef patty in a bread roll, or bun if you like. The main difference is that the Romans flavoured the patties with pine nuts.

@@JacknVictor The Romans had hamburgers hundreds of years before Attila the Hun was even born, which was as the Roman Empire was collapsing in the 5th century.

@@JacknVictor My favourite item on the Wimpy menu was the 'Bender', the circular Frankfurter. Always bought a couple to take out before smuggling them into the Odeon cinema as far better than their hot dogs. A mate queued for the tickets and I passed him his bender once the house lights had gone down.

School Dinners were also invented in the UK by a headmaster in Bradford who's school was in a deprived area in the 19th century. It was to alleviate hunger but also to keep parents able to school their kids as opposed to being forced to send them to work to earn money for food.

@@darthwiizius So the brits invented eating? Wonderful!

@@joeysausage3437 grow up

@Carol Gibson Read the comments. You clowns invited everything. What brits claim the United States citizen do, they are guilty of.

@@CarolandDave I think his school needs to introduce lunches, starved brain syndrome is a real problem.

As someone from Devon, I love some of the bits he does taking jabs at the West Country

Did bill bailey ever come home?

His guide to the orchestra is well worth a watch.

One of the funniest movies of all time.

FUCK YEAHH! 🤣

The love making sense….. I don’t think I’ve ever laughed so much at a se# seance 😂😂

Its one of those films, that is both very Highbrow and Lowbrow at the same time! especially at the time it was first released

Cringey yeah. That's the point. Dakka dakka dakka😂

You're forgetting the first (and long-standing) host Angus Deayton.

​@@deja-view1017 Angus Deayton never presented QI, it's only ever been Stephen Fry and Sandi Toksvig. You're probably thinking of Have I Got News For You.

a great entertaining show as good as any of the other UK shows. It wasn't factually correct all the time many segments were done out of humor or silliness with the info, but it was all done for entertainment and it was great. Fry was an amazing host, and Sandi took over and she was amazing also.

Co-written with Graham Linehan [presently immersed in the 'TRA battle(s)'!🙄] of 'Father Ted' and 'The IT Crowd' fame !👌👍

@@MrSinclairn another great comedy writer

A tower of soup. Best ever. Don't forget Tamsin of Friday night dinner!! All 3 main characters are brilliant actors x

definitely worth checking out Black Books

Wrorchestra, The Burger was a Roman invention but it was originally used as a military food. As found out by the European colonials eating unfamiliar food in foreign countries causes sever digestive problems and so the familiar cooked meat in a bun with salt and olive oil could be made and eaten anywhere that meat was available (Roman legions always carried flour, salt and olive oil) and it allowed the armies to cross vast distances without creating unneseserary problems, when the Legionaires retired it became a commonly requested food at home as well.

Hi Mark, just to let you know, the Washington family after becoming wealthy had their ancestral home in the north-east first in the latter part of the 1600's, I think? Here in the village of Washington which was named by them (formerly Wessynton) & Possible then "owned?" like most of the surrounding lands back then by the Bishop of Durham (or it's diocese?) - naturally! And their old manor house in the original village centre of Washington after being refurbished, etc, is still a tourist attraction today. (Pres Jimmy Carter even turned up here passing our local school so as to plant a tree on the village green in the 1970's when he also visited the manor house) - (We as schoolkids back then, were all sent to stand at the school fences and wave flags as he passed by). Even on the 4th July, the stars and stripes are put up on the flagpole in it's grounds, too. My old school badge back in the day also had the 3 stars and stripes on it . . . Then some, or most of the main Washington family then later moved down south for some reason or other - more than likely to do with making even more money than they had, I'm sure????

Bloody Normans, can't go anywhere without causing a ruckus.

@@KGardner01010 Was a village called Warton in the north west too - church there has the family crest embedded into it. (Warton near carnforth, not the one near Preston).

The Police Station in Llantrisant was built in 1776

There is also a flag at his family home in Northamptonshire which resembles the Stars and Stripes.

Yes. The Americans took baseball from England.

The Anglophile Americans ,upper class, did play cricket.

The American flag is also red,white and blue. From the union flag.

Yeah and my great-granddad was the first man on the moon. He didn't tell anyone or record it but it definitely happened, honest.

@citizenpb I see the truth hurts. American by chance? Your lack of education is showing already

@@modelrailwaynoob 🤣No, I'm not American, so less of the nationalistic willy waving Noob. I'm well aware of the claims that Bill Frost 'invented' powered flight, for which there is zero photographic or contemporary written evidence, just an expired patent and hearsay.

George Cayley. Inventor of the glider. Predated the petrol engine.

There's several people who seem to have flown before the Wright Brothers to be fair. It's difficult to be sure who was first for certain, Britain has a good claim but so do a couple of others. The only thing for that is certain at this point is that it definitely was not the US that flew first.

One problem, Canada was not a country at the time. Canada started to be a country in 1864, thenin1867 Canada became a federated country in its own right. Up untill then it was British and French colonies. The game was billed as 'United States of America versus the British Empire's Canadian Province’, and the States lost, so no wonder it did not take off. Americans only seam to like sports in which they are granteed to win.

I’m aware that plastic surgery came on in leaps and bounds during the Battle of Britain, due to as you’ve said the number of burn injuries the pilots suffered are you merging the two world wars in your comment here? Or was it a feature of both conflicts? The first world war saw the inception of the RAF and I understand that pilots weren’t issued with parachutes as it may encourage cowardice. A somewhat bizarre attitude, if true, and lead to yet more unnecessary deaths. Going back to your original comment I’m not trolling but interested.

I'm English....Ive always preferred to cook with Granny smiths ....Much nicer flavour....I love the American 'Empire' Apple to just munch on though x

Just don't go into chip buttys you'll really confuse them

Tommy Flowers & Bill TUTTE, and there were many more Bletchley Park too, WW2. GPO built Colossus.

Lady Ada Lovelace wrote the first program for it.

Wrong.

@@joeysausage3437 right, check Wikipedia

Good way to put it.

Exactly…..early Americans were essentially disgruntled British colonists who weren’t happy paying tax to the crown.

@@mikesaunders4694 And plenty of them were happy with the taxes, it's just the disgruntled few that made more noise. A lot like modern social media were a few make a noise and suddenly all Mainstream Media has to follow.

Yes I couldn't have put it better myself.. 👍 Apple seeds were brought from Europe.. indeed so were pumpkin seeds.. these plants did not exist on the American continent before "invasion/colonisation" But we do have the Americas to thank for corn and potatoes !! Yipee for corn and potatoes !! Huge thank you American continent !! 😃🙌

@@mikesaunders4694 Taking personal opinions to the side, because of whom the Crown belonged to at the time, not everyone was happy.. Such is Democracy.. there will always be people who don't agree. Guy Fawkes and his men tried to blow King James up, 15 years later the Mayflower set off.. makes sense things happened as it did ! James was not best loved by all. It is a shame that US citizens don't know much about the Gunpower Plot, it was a pinnacle moment in time that made things progress as they did 🤷🏽‍♀️ If there hadn't been unrest here in the UK, there would be not be a USA as it is now.. Spaniard, Portugese, and other nations would have "conquered" in turn... the history would be entirely different. I have no vested or personal interest, just like to look at situations from the outside.

I live in the original Washington, the red and white stripes are from the Washington family crest

In all saints church in Maidstone Kent there's a dedication to his uncle Lawrence with those colours.

Yes "Stoll from Britian" Oh dear.

Congratulations, good to hear!

Which are?

@@Thurgosh_OG What the land of the free? Not even close to being and don't get me started on the home of the brave. They don't have a clue about bravery on the main, I'm not saying all don't but majority certainly don't, they believe gung-ho is bravery! I've been in battles with American's on my side, I was more worried about getting killed by them that I was the enemy!

That is what me and my daughter and I have been saying for a long time. They said saved in both World Wars, although they didn't join in for 2 years.

Total nonsense.

It was the only game I really liked back in the days of the early Cold war when we lived not far from the then USAF Brize Norton in Oxfordshire, with American forces families living among us. The game also gave rise to perhaps the only funny skit that Abbott and Costello ever did.

its a girls game called rounders

​@@davidparker8650 it's not a girls game 😂😂😂

A children's book originally published in 1744 called “A Little Pretty Pocket-Book” has the first documented use of the word “baseball,” though the earliest surviving edition is from 1760.

Thanks, we're glad you've finally got it. Cheers from a Scotsman.

They wish..🙄😂😂🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧

actually the old Romans ;-)

Very interesting! Thank you for sharing ill definitely look into that more.

From my limited knowledge of the subject I believe quite a number of medical practices originated from the middle and far east

Also interesting to note that the Macintosh apple came from a tree located near Kingston Ontario

Wasn't that 'Anna and JT'?

@@Thurgosh_OG spot on it was them. Beautiful couple 😁

His mother (RIP) begs to differ. The requirement for a sandwich is two pieces of bread with meat in the middle. A roll is fully called a Bread Roll, by slicing the roll into two, top and bottom and placing meat (a burger in this case) between them, the requirements of a sandwich are met.

@@Thurgosh_OG Ahh, but you’re forgetting one very important thing . . . Common sense! 😎

🙂 A lot of Canadians will take umbrage at your claim that Hockey was invented in England. 😉 The usual competing claim is between Nova Scotia, and Ontario. (two Canadian Provinces, for anyone who doesn't know) And the term is just Hockey. 😂 To quote Don Cherry, ' You don't put a team in a town, where they call it Ice Hockey'.😂 Cheers!😊

@@dougwilson4537 They would be very wrong. Even taking the "newest" evidence of how old hockey is England, it is an engraving showing hockey being played on ice using skates from 1797. Even alone this predates any evidence of hockey in Canada. And there's evidence going further back than that in England and Scotland.
