When I was a kid in the 1960s the beach in Douglas was krpt beautifully clean. Every day in the summer it would be full of holidaymakers on deck chairs. Theres were kiosks that sold tea and coffee. You paud a deposit on a tray and took away a large pot of tea, hot water, milk, sugar and cups and saucers etc. You got your deposit back when you returned everything. Every morning the Salvation Army held Joyful Juniors activity sessions for kids to attend!

Come live with me and drink tea😂😂

But my dad doesn't like colour flavour but he always liked the black one😢

My dad likes the black one because the Bombay bad boy one

My dad doesn't like chicken and mushroom pot noodle it's a green Pot Noodle😢

I love that place❤❤❤

I am US civil service (and retired US Army) and anyone reading this can answer. I couldn't definitively find where my wife can be employed in England. We are planning to live at Lakenheath for a minimum of seven years until I retire from civil service. How difficult is it for my wife to be employed off base?

"Like"

The way you've done this is kinda like trying a sandwich for the first time but its just bread without any filling and you're then like, "well sandwiches are clearly boring"

I eat Weetabix with milk, but i out it at the top of the bowl with other cereals underneath it, so it only gets a bit of the milk, so it softens but doesn't just go to mush.

Newly weds? ❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤

If you kept the paper bag you’d see a guide to which pastry is which by the pictures on the back.

England has a George Cross as its flag not a union jack meaning England is not the UK. Scotland, England, Wales and NI make up UK not England and all have different flags

Wonderful video

Hey guys just so you know Jaffa cakes brought out new cola bottle flavoured ones so nice but cant beat the original for me 😂

must eat most of those with brown sauce!

Of course, we have air conditioning. it's called opening a window ...

One thing I've noticed is that in many supermarkets in England the cashier dosen't have to stand all day. There is a stool for the cashier. Also, there is one line to check out. Whoever is at the head of the line goes to the first available checkout.

The Americans invaded our homes and looted trillions from Greece. Where did you get Greggs? Most Americans can't afford a Kebab.

We also “mock” people calling them. “Sh@t Tesco meal deal!” So people who get just ham or just cheese sandwich with a bottle of water and ready salted crisps! ( theses people walk the earth!)

Chicken bacon and stuffing with fridge raiders and an energy drink for me

how many pets can you have on base housing? How hard is it to find off base housing that allows pets? I have scoured google, reddit and official mil pages but cant get an answer

Lindt 😂😂😂😂

Great video!

I noticed a lot of people talking about the Tesco Club Card and i agree if you're going to be here for a while i would get one definitely worth it. A few months ago i decided i wanted to buy an air fryer i shopped around and found they were quite pricey. I had a look in my local tesco and i'm so glad i did. I found a Tower air fryer for £59 club card price £39 i had £10 club card vouchers which needed to be used up so all in all i got a really good bargain an air fryer from Tesco for £29!!!! I shop at Tesco regularly because my Tesco is about a 10 to 15 mins walk from my house (downhill) i live in a hilly area. On my doorststep (walking distance) i have 4 supermarkets all within walking distance. Aforementioned Tesco, Morrisons, Aldi and Scotmid coop. Very convenient for me as I'm not a driver so when i do my weekly shop i usually walk to either Tescos or Morrisons and sometimes Aldi to do my shop. So convenient i understand in the US everything is so far apart and you really need a car very few people use public transport. Which is the opposite here in the UK i use public transport all the time and its so super easy and convenient and also very regular when i live in Edinburgh if you have to wait for a bus to go somewhere your waiting time would be about 10 to 15 minutes once your on the bus the seats are quite comfy and you also have usb outlets for your phones and best of all free wifi! To get anywhere on the bus in Edinburgh would take less than an hour (not sure about bigger cities. Or country routes.) again i find super convenient. Also from Edinburgh if you want to go further afield outside the city itself we have excellent public transport that will take you anywhere you want to go if you want to go to North Berwick or Dunbar Lothian Country buses run an excellent service to those towns on the east coast with fantastic views of the villages as you pass by if you like golf i think its eithed the North Berwick bus or Dunbar bus one of them anyway passes through Muirfield golf club i think the open is held their each year i believe. Or you can either get the bus or train and take a trip to the beautiful Scottish Borders and visit Melrose home of the Melross Sevens seven aside rugby and the Abbey. Travelling there is by bus or train are equally beautiful. Or further up to The Kingdom of Fife to North Queensferry or to Dunfermline visit the abbey. Ot to St Andrews home of golf and where Prince William and Catherine went to University is a nice little town. Or on to Dundee they have the new Tate Modern there. There are other places within easy travelling distance from Edinburgh using public transport like the bus or the train if any American chosd to come to Scotland i would recommend you using public transport it's safe and very convenient and inexpensive.

The one thing you can do is put some bread into the pot i usually tear it into croutons and then eat the noodle with bread.

The bikers was me and my mate lmfao I was the one in the grey I remember that 2 years ago seeing you 2😂

That’s part when you filmed them two bike Coming down the hill that was me and my mate

Don’t compare, just show us. We will notice the difference.

Spare room bed is a single not a twin

As a kid I spent a lot of time on the two bases

Your video popped up on my feed so it's my first time watching you both. I notice that it was two years ago. Have to say I was... gobsmacked at how derogatory you were and really hope you learned something from the comments.

The Isle Of Man is always worth visiting BUT should not be rushed!

My son is stationed at Lackenheath and we are US citizens, he is just 18. He just arrived 10 days ago, so now he is going through paperwork to get his DL in England. He has temporary accommodations on Lackenheath, but July 8th he will be moved to Mildenhall. Any advice for the Mom of a newbie?? He says he needs a car...does he? Thank you for your informative video, y'all are so cute together and easy to listen to. XOXO Big Texas Mom

I'm sorry, 'what do British women do to get ready, when there's no outlets and the only room that COMES with a mirror doesn't have an outlet to do your hear in?'. The bathroom doesn't come with a mirror in, you buy one and put one in, just like you can for any room of the house, such as a hallway or a bedroom. Oh ye', that room with the bed in, with all your clothes, etc... Now you mention there are sockets near water outlets elsewhere, but those other rooms don't get steamed up and involve you being bear foot and likely naked in them. Two taps is an old thing where the cold tap is potable, drinkable water and the hot water can't be guaranteed to be drinkable as the water as held in a tank in the loft that was open and would empty into the boiler to be heated up. Here's the thing, that thing to the rear left, is a plug, it goes in the hole, just like a bath, think of it as a bath for your hands and face. Washers are in the kitchen because they draw a higher current, like the other devices, the room is set up for higher current appliances plus there is already water inlets and waste water outlets to carry the waste water away. Some, few houses have utility rooms to put these appliances in and so they sit in the kitchen. In some European countries the washing machine is in the bathroom. A lot of what you mention is down to size and costs, size in that our houses are old, many built when America just got independence and that space is at a premium here. Costs as in extra appliances cost money, running them cost money, maintenance of these appliances that may not get used often. Towards the end of the video it really sounds like you're either wanting or expecting the U.K. to just be U.S.A. 2.0. The U.K. isn't the outlier here, it's the U.S.A. like if you want ice, ask for it, 'no drinking fountains, they are everywhere in the United States, WERE NOT THE UNITED STATES want water ask for it, floors - it's America that ground floor is the first floor, extremely few other places do it that way, one of 'one of the few countries that drive on the left (that few being 64, as opposed to 163 that drive on the right), the road conditions aren't great in many places (as many in the U.S.A. aren't either), parking spaces, again, space is at a premium, parking in the U.S. is plentiful, why, because your cities, towns, 'stroads' are geared up for cars, the pedestrian is an afterthought, many places if you're seen walking at the side of the road, people will stop and ask what you are doing. Your base commanding officers need to be told that service personnel stationed in the U.K. should attend a two week induction, because every American that has an account videoing their move to the U.K. has the same questions and irks. I truly and honestly feel that any North American coming to live for any length of time in the U.K. should be paired with a local native Brit

Where is that location

Lemonade without lemon is just like a bathroom without a bath.

Do they still sell Humming Bird feeders ?

The actual meat in a greggs pastry is minimal it is surrounded by disgusting tasting pastry and yet people queue up for this rubbish and yes it is not cheap rubbish 😊

Can US citizens not in the forces use the BX and base for goods or only personnel?

I was stationed at Bentwaters for 4 years and Lakenheath for 4 years. I bought houses off base during both assignments. Made a good profit on both !

This looks so magical, we are planning to go this year ☺️

What about a Spork?

I have a question. What do you know about single pilots, in their late twenties, on how they live? Is there a life style that is really different from the married pilots? Where do they usually live - base housing or off base? Do they bring their POVs or they buy cars in England? If you know such a pilot, I would not mind communicating (email) with him or her. The reason why I am asking is because I am writing a realistic romance story that takes place in England, between a British nurse and an American pilot stationed at RAF Lakenheath.

I thought we Brits could moan but you take the prize. When are you going home?

Complaining about the noise on an Air Base is bonkers. In the UK it is not allowed to wear uniform off camp. It has been that way since the early 1980’s when the IRA were killing Military Personnel. As for targeting Americans. What planet are you on? Zog.

You cut the teabags that's when switched off 😢

Lol u are hilarious lol the uk just does everything better and its affordable and much healthyer also we like class and style over cheap trashy junk

When I was stationed at RAF Fairford in May 2007 to May 2009 , I always had to drive all the way there it took at least three to four hours but it was worth the trip if you was not driving to RAF Alconbury but you would always go to the Burger King and Tacobell on the Lakenheath side. The kabob shops we had in Fairford were just like ordering McDonalds and Burger King. Only difference I was 22 and 23 at the time. They always had very pretty female service clerks who worked the cash register and I remember trying to get with one of them. Unfortunately no cigar but the Commissary is a little bigger. We did buy meats there that we couldn't get at RAF Fairford so it was worth the trip. Over all I remember Lakenheaths fuel station is right by the Commissary so, where Mildenhall had there was perfect within the BX. How many remember the 3rd Air Force driving course we had to undergo before being allowed to drive in Britain. I remember getting that and you felt like you was let loose to explore. I was able to bring my vehicle from the states as some Brits liked it and others hated it. But I was the only single Airman at the time with a truck so I hauled a lot of stuff on the base and for he locals and Airman when people needed help. But I miss it there. It was a once in a lifetime experience. Always will cherish that

Planning our next trip 🌍❤️
