Yeah foxes don't care they'll nick your scran and be like "yeah and what mate? you aren't gonna do anything about it"

Did it have vinegar on them? 🤣

We used to live in Lewisham, my sons mates mother used to leave a big tray of sandwiches out for the foxes every night, an elderly neighbours dog used t share his breakfast with a big old fox every morning lol, it used to infuriate my Jack Russell.

We used to have Identity cards during the war, I can still still remember my Number.

I’ve tried to point that out many times. When an American mentions fries, and says something like “but you call them chip”. I’m like no we have fries as well but we also have chips. Fries are thin and chips are thicker. A lot of restaurants here have options for chips or fries. Same with thinking we call cookies biscuits. When we have both biscuits and cookies. Biscuits means twice baked so they’re harder and crunchy, while cookies are soft and doughy.

@CadwaladrTheFirst they do have them but they’re not as popular as over here. There most common flavours aside from salted are BBQ and sour cream with onion. They also have things like ranch dressing, cheese, lime.

The fact that he doesn’t know what a chip shop is, is blowing my mind

The westernmost railway station in the UK is not Penzance, as many people assume. It is in fact Arisaig on the Scottish railway line from Glasgow to Mallaig.

It blew my mind when I found out that Ardnamurchan Lighthouse in Scotland was further west than Lands End in Cornwall. This being the furthest westerly point on mainland Britain.

If you fly from John o Groats to Lands End in a straight line, you don't pass over a single English County.

@@ianpodmore9666 Yes you do: Cornwall! I’ve just tried it on my mapping app, and after going over the sea close to Lands End you go back over Cornwall near Cape Cornwall. And you also go over Pembrokeshire, the “Little England Beyond Wales” ;-)

@@jerry2357 Your correct, but if your claiming Pembrokeshire as Little England, I'm claiming Cornwall as not English. So it's a draw.

That's really interesting. Aussie here. What an absolutely gorgeous place - Lincoln itself and the Cathedral. I was thrilled to visit about 6 years and got to see the Doomsday Book as well. The history is just astounding to me. I've traced my Lincolnshire agricultural labourers back to 1635 in West Ashby and just love the beautiful countryside. I envy Brits who have such easy access to so many historical places. Planning my next trip now.

@@carokat1111 If you're around Lincoln again on your next trip, be sure to check out the Castle there. Also fairly near by is the Kinema in the Woods. And old film camera museum / traditional cinema. If you're lucky during the intermission during the film, the floor will open up, and a man playing an old organ comes up to keep people entertained! 😍

Just down the road in Boston - apparently, the Boston Stump was going to have a spire added, but they never got round to building one, which is why it's called the Stump!

@Jenscee The government DO bill you, step by step by taking money to fund the NHS from your taxes and national insurance contributions. So, if you work, you've been paying for the NHS your whole life by having your money taken from your pay before it gets to you. The NHS is only truly free if you don't work.

The ring neck parakeet is indigenous to the Indian mainland but has spread all over the world

If you don't know about them, then there is nothing weirder than standing underneath them when they all return home to roost at EXACTLY the same time.

We have small flocks of parakeet's up here in Manchester that have settled in the Didsbury/Chorlton area. What type? dunno they are just green in colour but very, very noisy once flocked together. Nice to look at but not if they are in your garden and strip the fruiting buds off the trees etc 😎 Cheers

Ring Necks are Green.... Monks are White Breasted.

Thanks, then the Mancs flocks are Ring Necks. Whether it's urban legend they were captive parakeet's that were released into the wild, same as the London flocks started by Jimi Hendrix releasing some after a show. Cheers

I learned something there too lol 😝

Well! Today I learned .... I'm 59.

My favourite local chippy will actually top up a bottle of non brewed condiment for me for free as I like to keep the fish and chips etc crispy as possible til I get home! 😋

@@scouseofhorror104 It's such a comfy feeling when your chippy knows, and allows for, your little foibles.

And be careful if you are in Canada.... you will get strong, white vinegar as your condiment. 😖 (but it tastes soooo good)😁

You don't see them during the day? They are getting very daring here in London. I see them day and night. I was once at a school function in the evening and as I walked up a corridor I was passed by a fox calmly walking down it going the other way! Maybe he was just handing in his homework.....

There are a lot of foxes around the country, but there are so many in London, that at night you cannot escape the sound of foxes mating at some times of the year. Rarely heard this when I lived in the country.

"When travelling home you can feel it as it's usually a degree warmer" Where I live its more than just 1c from the coast to the suburbs. In the Summer it can be 2/3c warmer inland just travelling the 3 miles and thus much warmer than I am right on the coast. In fact, the opposite is true in Winter (Due to the warming sea air effect) and where I live it rains all the time even when snow is forecast, but travel to the suburbs of this town 3 miles away??? Its snowing, and pitching on the ground cos its like 2/3c colder in just the space of 3 miles. And no, there are no hills, I remember one time it started snowing on a Friday evening at my school (this was back in 2003 or 2004ish) in the towns suburb, it started snowing, it was pitching, by the end of the school day it was 3" deep, I was getting very very excited (Cos I love snow). On the journey home my excitement waned, the snow disappeared and turned to rain. No snow at home for me, I returned to school Monday morning to find snowmen everywhere and I had zilch at home... 3 miles away. Bloody sea air!

I worked in central Manchester and would often see fox’s in and around the city centre when I drove in early in the morning

I work at Jersey airport and recall distinctly an event that I probably can't go into too much detail about, in which a guy from England and his wife tried to force their way onto a plane after being denied boarding because they had lost their passports and had no forms of identification on them. In the end they had to be escorted of the premises by police and were ranting and raving about how ridiculous it was as "we" were part of Britain and they shouldn't have to provide ID. After a while we just get tired of correcting people.

@@GiveMeBackMyUsernameKZfaq Did Jim Bergerac arrest them personally? That would be fun to watch, especially if they were the type who wear lots of sovereign rings and talk like Danny Dyer. Sorry Tyler, this stuff will mean nothing to you -- it's from TV shows. It amuses me that such tiny places as Guernsey and Jersey each have their own dependent islands nearby, and even their own languages (versions of French).

Guernsey, Isle of Man and Jersey are all something called Crown Dependencies.

@@GiveMeBackMyUsernameKZfaq Do you not need ID or a passport to get inro Jersey?

Jersey Telecom made sure they were compatible and interconnected with the UK mainland ... as did Guernsey Telecom who has Blue Phone Boxes ... The Jersey pound is in a currency Union with the UK Pound ... as is the Guernsey pound

When I lived in outer London (Pinner) I saw occasional foxes in our garden, even saw one running down the main road in front of a bus! Since moving to the country 20 years ago -- haven't seen one!

@@carlgrove8793 I live in fairly rural Wales, and have only once seen a fox in this area, bizarrely on the trading estate where I currently work - not a sign of a fox since then (about 8 years ago I guess).

I live in Manchester and we have a lot of foxes in our neighbourhood. Mating season is terrifying

Look up the documentary The urban fox, filmed in Bristol in the 1970's I think. Working night for many years I often saw foxes + badgers out + about. We used to bring peanut butter sandwiches to feed the badgers with.

I have yet to meet one. Must look quite spooky.

loads of foxes here too. if we had black ones, the local idiots would be on the blower to the council dog warden 🤣

Also east London, lots of foxes, and lots of parakeets.

Later replaced by the Scottish King of the United Kingdom (Act of the Union 1707, where Wales was part of England, as a Principality), King James the 6th (1st of England).

Nope, the last English king died in 1066 at the battle of Hastings, the rest were norman French until Henry Tudor.

Same here, South Woodford (North East London), borders on Epping Forest. I've seen foxes wandering up and down the streets late at night

But they do seem happier finishing the leftovers from Chicken Shops and Pizza joints.

Foxes often follow railway lines or river banks to get into urban spaces. Some then settle in green spaces like parks, woodland or gold courses.

Does that mean you had to turn up in Chainmail and a spear if there was a security threat.

@@paulmidsussex3409 @Paul Midsussex No, but it does mean you should be able to single-handedly tackle an "invasion" by punching the invader in the face. "Andre Gardes was an unemployed nuclear physicist from France. Mr. Gardes believed himself the rightful heir and “Seigneur” of the small formerly feudal state of Sark. In August of 1990, Gardes decided to stage an invasion to forcefully set himself up as the ruler of Sark’s 610 inhabitants. Apparently unable to get anyone to follow him, he decided only a one man force was necessary. Gardes, being a civilized man, arrived the night before the invasion and posted notices of his impending takeover the following day at noon. As the actual Seigneur of the island, John Michael Beaumont, stated, “He was such an odd chap. He turned up one night and started putting up signs saying he was going to take over the island next day at noon. They read very like German wartime notices (the island had previously been taken over by Germans in WWII, who also announced their intention to take over the island via notices before arriving with soldiers the next day). Most people thought it was a joke, but he was serious.” The local volunteer Constable, the only law enforcement on the island, being informed of the invasion thanks to the notices, decided to take the threat seriously. On the morning of the invasion, Constable Perrée began to plan the island’s defense, which was a two stage scheme. First, he went looking for Mr. Gardes. He found him sitting on a park bench in army fatigues preparing for the massacre that was about to befall this island. As the Constable approached the invading army (a.k.a. Gardes), he saw Gardes loading his automatic weapon. The first “showing up” stage now complete, Mr. Perrée executed the second stage of the plan. He complimented Mr. Gardes on his choice of gun and convinced Gardes to remove the magazine and let him see the instrument of the island’s assured defeat, so the constable could better admire it. When Gardes acquiesced, the Constable took the gun and punched him in the nose. The invasion was over. The gun used in the attempted coup now sits in the Sark Museum next to old ships and a dedicated exhibit to one of the island’s two original telephone calls."

I'll add a bit more to (3) . All of our houses are insulated and designed to keep heat in. From the walls to the roof to the doors and windows. And we have radiators in every room instead of Aircon. Our houses are literally designed to trap as much heat as possible inside.

Up until a few years ago one had a week to produce one's Licence and insurance certificate at a nominated police station (given a 'producer').

@@paulmidsussex3409 I haven't heard about that. Hope its more straightforward than Crossrail. The roads need updating too, though. Either the A3 or M3 from the M25 should be extended to Lands End. That would help. I'm in Essex and my sister is in Devon, our last journey was shocking. Just attempting to pass the M25 can a nighmare as you probably know. We usually leave in the middle of the night to reach the other side of the M25 before it gets too busy. Our very enjoyable last holiday in Sussex a few years ago was great,, as it was so nearby, but the return journey was not quite so good. We had to go the long way round clockwise as the bridge and tunnels were closed due to mishaps. We waited till late and made the journey surprisingly fast. We usually go north for holidays as there are so many options for a speedy journey. Northumberland being our favourite location, closely followed by The Lakes.

My reaction was the opposite. I had imagined those big bad fixed that the country folk complained about would be the size of a police dog. When I met one by my local post box it was much smaller than I imagined. Local cats chase them off round here.

More Urban Foxes now than rural ones and have become a recognised sub breed as very slightly larger and have a bushier and longer brush than the rural Fox. They also have more road sense and not wary of humans and pet dogs.
