    Hi Joel, I'm proud of you, you recoiled in horror at the way that USA girl made her tea. You are becoming more Brit by the day. Well done.

      @Phil_A_O_Fish 3 years ago +5

      ​@alant84, despite the fact that they managed to fcuk things up every step of the way while they're making it the worst part for me is when they insist on leaving the teabag in the cup as they're actually drinking it. Yuk!

    Aitch is correct though, ‘haitch’ is not how it’s meant to be pronounced, but language evolves

    • @marythurlow9132
      @marythurlow9132 3 years ago +3

      Aitch is the name of the letter. The letter is aspirated ( with a breath) and that is where the confusion arises.
      I've always said "innit" as a punctuation at the end of sentences, when I expect someone to see my point of view. I'm Welsh, so I say it a little differently to Londoners.

      @buckley7747 3 years ago +2

      The white meat sauce is only one type of gravy in the US. We also have brown gravy, which is with the savory meat juices, and if you are Italian American, gravy is a tomato-based red sauce.

      Americans are the best at making fun of Americans--just listen to our comedians. Oh, and beans for breakfast is a crime against humanity. Beans for lunch and dinner, fine. Also, there is no such thing as an American (or British) accent. We are a huge and diverse country--in my state alone there are easily 4 distinct accents--to people from Pittsburgh the people in Philly sound like foreigners speaking English (and vice versa, I am sure). Cheers or whatever, innit?

    No electric kettles - because the mains voltage is 110 Volts which needs a very high current - 30 amperes. UK has 240V so can have a 3 Kilowatt heater element for our kettles.

    Joel when you eventually get to the UK you'll find there are over 200 accents and dialects in the UK as a whole. Our accents and dialects change from town to town and can effectively change every 20 miles or so..to understand some accents can be very hard and takes a lot of listening too to actually understand what people are saying. The accents mainly on the video you showed are from London and Essex or Kent this accent is called Estuary English because of the way words are said around the Thames Estuary. I myself talk Estuary English. It's a accent based loosely on Cockney or East London with subtle changes to it..to actually realise the difference here with accents listen to some accent videos..try Yam Yam accent (Black Country accent) Brummie Accent Estuary English accent West country accent Geordie accent Scouse accent to name just a few of the accents that are so different that they sound like completely different countries all the accents I've mentioned are all from England then of course you have the various accents from Scotland two of which are Edinburgh and Glasgow accents then we have the Welsh accents and then of course the differing accents in Ireland too Northern Irish is completely different to the ROI accent you really have to check these accents out to find out just how different we all speak in the UK.

    • @neilgayleard3842
      @neilgayleard3842 3 years ago +3

    • @majkus
      @majkus 3 years ago +3

      A friend of mine acquired Estuary English in the Army (he was born in Scotland. His actual accent is pretty weird). At first I thought his pronunciation of 'l' as 'o' (sort of) in words like 'milk' and 'people' was a speech impediment, like Elmer Fudd.
      But all these bits (like pronouncing "bottle' as 'bo'-'ll') have nice linguistic names (glottal stop, or glo'll stop, I guess) and turn up in various regional English pronunciations (including American). If these schoolboys (stereotype school uniforms!) were a bit more sophisticated, they would recognize and identify these linguistic features instead of just saying in their not-quite-received-pronunciation way that they don't talk, pardon me, speak like that.
      www.phon.ucl.ac.uk/home/estuary/Estuary_English.pdf seems a pretty fair discussion of Estuary English and its cultural position.

    • @Thurgosh_OG
      @Thurgosh_OG 3 years ago +2

    Hasn't anyone ever heard of Toasties?
    Popular as a meal, you can also buy Toastie makers. Cheese and ham toasties are delicious.

    British use miles per hour as well tho. And as for H, it is pronounced 'aitch'. People assume its 'haitch' because of the H'uh sound it makes in phonics. But the letters name is pronounced aitch.

    Just came across your channel, loving your content. I’m in North East England and there’s so much you can cover about our area. The slang terms alone are insane, the culture is such a shock compared to the south, as is some of the history.

    As my mother always said "There's no aitch in aitch"!
    For biscuits and gravy, substitute the word biscuits for dumplings!
    My biggest peeve about youngsters language these days, is the widespread use of "Can I get?" If asking a waitress or bartender, "Can I get a coffee?" well - you wont need serving, plus the fact that you're not allowed behind the bar to serve yourself..... "May I have?" is so much more polite and grammatically correct. Please adhere

      "May I have" actually sounds too posh to me? I usually say, "I'd like (food) please" or "Can I have some (food) please"

      @spanishdncr71 See we wouldn’t say please in America necessarily. If they’re taking your order, it’s a transaction, not a favor.

    Not many hotels in the UK have A/C, which you’ll be used to having at home. Hopefully you don’t find it too hot when you come here on your holiday.
