@Alex it’s just the truth Scotland is stunning, and throw in the bagpipes and it’s instant goosebumps! I’ve been to Scotland as much as I can because it’s beautiful and the people are hilarious 😂

The Lake District was formed when the glaciers scooped out the Highlands and left it England 😂 Wait, does that mean Scots land is in England!

Aw that’s so nice to say such lovely things about my country, l holiday in England every year on bus tours and I’m getting to see so many places down south and I love it

I'm english and think Scotland is stunning , I was happy our dear old Queen died at Balmoral she was in her happy place , and we got to see Scotlands Pomp and Ceremony and a rare glimpse of the Scottish crown which was a treat , Scotland did her proud .

I got married in a place called Glenridding in the district so it holds a very special place in my heart, now go drive up hardknotts pass....absolutely stunning

York is the best city in the UK, but then I was born there, so I'm biased. Chester and Bath are a close second, but then there are many others like Winchester, Salisbury, Worcester and Durham.

@@eccehomer8182 Not biased at all. I love York. Visited in July last and looking to go again even though it's a 1.5 hour drive there. Bath is also lovely. Haven't been in ages though. 🙂

I got 3 days into a 7 day trip to York. Covid.....

I live in the south east, Reading to be precise. London is a great place to visit, but I totally agree. York is absolutely beautiful!

Down here in the South we tend to get warmer weather but also more extreme weather events. The great storm in 1987 and the follow up in January 1990 (did my driving test during the tail end of that one, driving round trees and walls in the road was interesting) are the worst on record and round here (East Anglia) our temperatures went above 40 for a couple or 3 days last Summer. I've also been caught in a tornado while at work and seen a large water spout off the east coast along with being in buildings struck by lightning a few times.

@@SimplySavageReactions of you get down to Cornwall, which you should, I'll have a pasty waiting for you. And take you surfing on some of Europe's best beaches.

And another thing - apart from all this accents, many areas of the UK have their own dialect, though mostly these are dying out with modern communications. More, though; some parts of the UK have their own langauage. Scotland and Ireland have versions Gaelic, the langauge that gave us uisge beatha (whisky); Wales has Cymraeg, or Welsh, that gave us names like Upjohn, or ap Sion (son of Sion or John if anglicised), and so much more. Corwall has its own language too which is just about haninging in there. The Isle of Man has Manx...

I must admit, although travelling around Britain is a lot easier than my home country (South Africa), I HATE travelling around Britain. It just bugs me how difficult it is to travel even short distances by public transport. It either takes hours, or is really expensive. Especially compared to travelling in Europe.

That is the one thing I detest. I hate driving for this reason. Such as yesterday and 130 in the afternoon, granted there was quite a but of roadworks on my route, but it took just shy of an hour to travel 11 miles!

Population density is ten times that of USA and one hundred times that of Australia. Wherever you go, there's a queue.

We regularly drive Essex to Ayrshire and it takes about 7 hours (with one stop). Another 1.5 hours to Edinburgh from there. It took us 6.75 hours to fly from Stansted > Glasgow (inclusive of getting to and from the airports). So driving isn't always the worst.

Nothing like a rough council estate upbringing to make you appreciate the simple and finer things in life.

I adore "The Lakes" and used to visit regularly on my Motorbike before I moved from my native Newcastle, to the South East. Such a beautiful part, my FAVOURITE part of the country! I just feel at peace, when I am sat in a remote spot, just looking across the water. My favourite spot is just outside Buttermere.

I couldn't agree more. In ENGLAND the lake district is unmatched. I spent 7 years as a teenager in Mid Wales and that was pretty damned fine too, but only a scale model of the English version.

Every true Britain should be proud of where we come from and our HISTORY and I don’t care if these others call racist and things about the BRITISH EMPIRE a I am all so proud of that we brought civilisation to many other countries 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

@@robertlangley1664 I think it's quaint you think Britain brought civilization around the globe. Britain was a backwater when many other civilizations were undergoing golden ages. They brought modernity and industrialization as well as exploitation and suffering. Their goal wasn't to spread the former but it came along with the latter.

I think it's quaint you presumably think it was someone else who "brought civilization around the world". We had the largest Empire in all history, a quarter of the Earth's landmass, and it was an empirical truth that the sun never set on it. We gave most of the world it's first experience of the rule of law and and we left the places we went all the better for our having been there, whatever ill educated dopes like you may claim. The places we were, are today the most free and most prosperous in their regions. By and large, the places we DIDN'T go are the least successful and least free in the world today and what you will no doubt claim were vices have been common to EVERY empire, and if ours was different to others it was in its real, actual and acknowledged gentility- even Ghandi acknowledged that! Oh and, when we ended the Indian "custom" of Suttee, i.e. chucking widows alive onto their husband's funeral pyres we saved, and continue to save to this day, literally millions and million from an unimaginable and premature death. Although I have no doubts YOU will consider that was an outrageous and unforgivable intrusion into native culture. 🤦

@@markwintle1174 id agree with that

Appreciate you are commenting on a largely positive video but you could strongly argue 'the modern world' we invented is no good thing and don't forget what the British Empire did to generate wealth and impose itself on many an unwilling country.... I don't think there's anything wrong with being proud of the good bits but I fear it can often cloud people's eyes to the very very bad bits.

@@someguysopinion23 openly espousing Empire might not be the done thing today (although someone might want to tell Russia and China about that), but Britain was neither the first to have one, nor the worst Empire in history. Indeed considering the infrastructure installed during Imperial times, to say nothing of the traditions of Common Law and parliamentary traditions which are the primary legacy of the Empire and a direct contributory to the plethora of well governed post Imperial states in much (although not all)of the former empire, the world is undoubtedly better for the fact that the largest empire in history was British rather than, say, Russian or Prussian. For example, the reason the Slave Trade was eradicated (by the British, a fact we are never allowed to acknowledge in these days of Britain being responsible for everything bad that has ever happened), was a direct consequence of Britain having a world wide empire from which it could police the oceans of the world and exterminate the trade. No other Imperial power tried that. One could even look at the process of decolonisation as proof that the world is lucky it was the British who had the biggest empire. When one compares the way the French had to be dragged kicking and screaming from their own colonies (see, Algeria), the British decolonised in a remarkably pragmatic, 'relatively' blood free way, as evidenced by the fact that most of the former Empire (and parts of other former Empires such as formerly Portuguese Mozambique), willingly transitioned into the post Imperial Commonwealth. Britain spared the world an absolute bloodbath by not simply digging its heels in and refusing to decolonise. For example, had Britain decided to hold onto India beyond what was sensible, the bloodshed, which the Indians and Pakistanis proved perfectly adept at themselves when partition and the various Indian Pakistani wars erupted, would have been many times larger Empire in one guise or another has been the natural state of affairs for most of human history and probably always will be.

You're not Your as in 'You're very young'.

Britain's involvement in the slave trade was admittedly regrettable to start with, as businesses were doing what they always do, which is make money at someone else's expense. However, once the British public got involved we ended up dismantling the the transatlantic slave trade, and then the east African slave trade too, at great cost to the taxpayer, we only finished paying for it less than 10 years ago... search youtube for 'British crusade against slavery'.

Excellent advice if you have any money left in your paycheck to invest. Democrats have put in motion the highest inflation in over 40 years and continue to waste taxpayer money at an incredible rate that will cause all the high taxes we now pay will seem like buying a hamburg at McDonald's. Wait until we start getting the bill for the several million illegal immigrants we are supporting costing us hundreds of millions of dollars every week. How much money have we already given to Ukraine 160 BILLION DOLLARS with more to be sent. It goes on and on. You might not recognize the cost right now but as our infrastructure falls apart in front of our eyes along with many other issues we will be told raising taxes will be necessary to make repairs or rebuild. We are going to pay and pay dearly people will have to work to the day they die there will be no more retirement benefits for anyone. Remember what I'm saying it WILL happen.

Warmer in western Scotland than south east England in the winter

@@lucylane7397 The Gulf Stream ofc.

Britain is literally located at the top of the world 🌎 by longitude and latitude. That means there are around 4 competing weather conditions criss-crossing the British isles at any one time regardless of the season. Hence the 4 seasons in one day we talk about.

I live in the rural south west and our summers are generally lovely, winters are wet, sometimes cold and snowy, but temperatures rarely go below freezing for days on end.

I live in north west wales along the coast in the summer it’s pretty warm which is nice with the beaches and in winter it’s abit windy and chilly but I think the bad weather is part of the British charm

But it's not just about the weather. It's about cultural enrichment, broadening your horizons and realising that our beloved Britain is a small island in a very big world. I've been privileged to travel to around 14 other nations, including Canada and the US, and I loved each and every one. Especially Italy and Norway - what fabulous countries. If you have the chance, why deny yourself that opportunity? 🤷‍♀️

Yes I totally agree..travel broadens the mind..but when you live on a fantastic island why on earth isn't that enough for you...why have too high expectations..appreciate what you have..many dont have it..

@@paulcowell7588 I appreciate what I have enormously. But it's not either/or, it's both/and. Not everyone can afford to travel but if you can, then do. Why have low expectations? I'd be sad and frustrated if I'd never travelled abroad. It enriches you as a person. And UK weather isn't always great, let's be honest. Plus, other countries have fantastic cuisines.

I'm in my 50's and from London. I've travelled a lot in my time (37 countries so far (including 11 visted in a 7 month, 360 degree round-the-world trip I took in 2015) and I feel qualified in saying that Edinburgh is indeed a world class city. It is my favourite city, in fact, after London. I proposed to my wife in the Witchery restaurant at the foot of Edinburgh castle, in 2008 because it such a special place. Everyone should visit Edinburgh if they get a chance.

This is because the UK has been settled for millennia but until the Industrial Revolution no-one travelled very far. The best clues as to who settled first are the names of places, hills and rivers which remain even when the 'original' tribes and groups have moved away, died out or simply assimilated.

I can attest to this, there are 2 towns in Northumberland, Cramlington and Ashington, and it's unbelieveable how different the accents are between these 2 places.

I've often wondered if we have the most difference in accents per square mile of anywhere else on the planet ? 🤔 I mean you can go a couple hundred Miles in radius and you've got Glaswegian, Geordie, Liverpudlian, Manchester, Welsh, Brummie etc. The sounds of and vocal differences in all those are huge, not to mention the local slang involved in all of them also. Then you have the places where the accent is very different just 3 miles over to the next town.

We thus have a thriving multicultural society where anyone can achieve their ambitions by way of their own efforts and endeavors. That sounds to me like a reflection of the American Dream come true.

@@SimplySavageReactions If my memory serves me correctly, we had two hurricanes of note that hit the South of England in the late 80's, I think the first was in 87, it uprooted thousands of trees South of London, and damaged many houses, as it was at night, casualty numbers were very low. At the time I lived above a shop, and the brick building was shaking at three in the morning. As a builder/construction worker, you can imagine, it was good for business. Also anyone who had a chain saw was immediately hired by local authorities to remove trees from the roads/highways, you couldn't buy or hire a chainsaw for love nor money.. The second hurricane hit the same area a year or two later, but in the day time and luckily it wasn't as bad, I think only two deaths by falling trees across roads. Apart from those two times, I only remember very strong winds like that when I was a child about 58 years ago, although we've had a couple of tail ends of hurricanes this century, but tame in comparison.

@@mickk8519 Hi Mick. I recall the October '87 hurricane vividly. I was 17 and spent the evening in my local SE London pub. After three pints, which was plenty to get me "happy" at that tender age, I walked home almost oblivious to the gale. As I entered my mums house she wailed "thank goodness you're home. The flat roof on the kitchen extension is flooded (because of foliage brought down by the wind). What shall we do, she wailed. Being in good shape from regular gym work and cycling and full of dutch courage, "No problem mum, I'll sort it", I proclaimed, and proceeded to shimmy 12 feet up an iron drainpipe to the kitchen roof where, while being showered with debris and buffeted by 90mph gusts, ankle deep in water, I cleared the drains and leapt back down like an Olympic gymnast to mum's relief and gratitude. Now i cant even tie my own shoelaces. Time is a bugger. It just wont stop passing.

Did you know? Simplysavage_reactions The Magna Carta, or Great Charter, is a series of concessions that English noblemen extracted from King John I at Runnymede, England, in 1215, and that some later monarchs reissued. The document’s preamble and 63 clauses remain an important foundation for the rights claimed by English citizens, including those who immigrated to the United States. Magna Carta established fundamental government principles Although Britain continues to operate according to the principle of parliamentary sovereignty and has never adopted a single written document, such as one resembling the U.S. Constitution, British citizens still look to the Magna Carta, as well as the later Petition of Right (1628) and English Bill of Rights (1689), as establishing fundamental principles that the government dare not violate. John Locke and William Blackstone were among the English legal theorists who expanded the principles of liberty in the Magna Carta. "No taxation without representation" is most significant Magna Carta principle In America’s colonial days, the most significant principle of the Magna Carta was that the king had no power to tax persons who were not represented in the government. Colonists cited this principle of “no taxation without representation” in the Declaration of Independence and in other documents that asserted colonial privileges. Before the Revolutionary War, the colonists viewed the charters issued to them by the king in the same way that they viewed the Magna Carta-as providing protections for their rights. Many of these protections were later incorporated into state constitutions before being expanded and incorporated into the U.S. Constitution and its Bill of Rights. Magna Carta is foundation for due process clause of Constitution Clause 29 of the Magna Carta prevented the English government from jailing or punishing an individual “except by the lawful judgment of his peers and by the law of the land.” This clause is generally understood to provide the foundation of the due process clause of the U.S. Constitution’s Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments. First Amendment foreshadowed by Magna Carta The idea that nobles could meet with the king and present him with a set of grievances arguably foreshadowed both the peaceable assembly and petition provisions of the First Amendment. The provision of the Magna Carta that appears closest to the First Amendment is in Clause 1: “The English Church shall be free, and shall have her rights entire, and her liberties inviolate.” This text hardly prevents the establishment of a national church (Britain continues to recognize the Episcopal Church as the established church), as does the First Amendment, but it does acknowledge a sphere in which religious claims should be free of state supervision and control. Moreover, claims once associated specifically with the nobility have been widened both within Britain and the United States to include all citizens. In 2015, the British Library featured a display of the Magna Carta, the U.S. Declaration of Independence, and the U.S. Bill of Rights to mark the 800th anniversary of the Magna Carta.
