Nope, they are all pounds, no other currency is used in the U.K
You picked a right pair to explain culture differences.They seem obsessed with food and banking.
yup, americans are slaves to their resturant chains.
We only have one currency, the pound, but each country has its own DESIGN for bank notes/bills which are also changed from time to time which is nice. We have colourful notes which are pleasing to look at and makes it harder to counterfeit. The USA must have the most boring notes/bills of any country on the face of the planet. All the same size and at first glance all look the same.
With regards to lack of variety in supermarkets. There are many RUclips videos comparing UK and USA grocery prices and the UK always comes out cheaper. I believe a significant factor for the price difference Uk v USA is due to the astonishing number of brands/varieties of products in the US. Great to have variety but it comes a a “price” . For example, whereas a type UK supermarket may have 12 different salad dressings to choose from, a US supermarket may have up to 40 or more. So unless a typical American consumes 3 times more salad dressing than the typical Brit, the US store must buy in less of each individual type, and can’t negotiate good deals. This must have an effect on cost. It is also explains how ALDI in particular offers lower prices, good quality but less choice. Who needs to choose between 40 types of salad dressing?
Motherland - I think he meant it in terms of the Pilgrim Fathers settling in Plymouth and forming the first colony in North America (1620); along with the earlier Jamestown settlement (1607) which opened up the English colonisation of the US (not the US at that point). Seems a valid historical reference to me.
All I got from this is how easily confused they are.
Setting up a bank account in the UK is difficult for people from the US because of US laws. UK banks do ask everyone for proof of residence (because of money-laundering laws) but for most people that's quite easy. However, US citizens have to go through more hoops because the IRS demands that any bank that has accounts opened by US citizens must supply details to the IRS whenever asked to - and if they don't, the banks will be subject to penalties in the States and may not even be able to operate there at all. IRS demands do not comply with UK/EU laws and are regarded as another example of the US trying to impose its laws on the rest of the world (this is not just a UK issue). So UK banks (and probably others) have a simple solution - they won't/can't comply with instructions from the US tax authorities about individual customers when doing so would be against the law in their own country so they just don't open accounts for them.
Having everything everywhere is ecologically terrible. Local products and a few products from the other side of the world are completely sufficient and do not produce masses of waste and CO2. The USA has a huge selection, but it also produces the most waste, especially because so much unused products go into the trash
There is only one currency in the UK 'The Pound Sterling' however there are several different versions of printed notes especially in Scotland where you have 4 versions each issue by different Banks - 1 - The Bank of England (the central bank), 2 - The Bank of Scotland (retail bank), 3 - The Royal Bank of Scotland (retail bank), 3 The Clydesdale Bank(retail bank). Notes issued by the retail banks are not legal tender but are issued as promissory notes. In Scotland we will happily accept any of the 4 versions Notes issued by the bank of Ireland are similar & are accepted it England whereas notes issued in The Isle of Man or Jersey have to exchanged in a bank (exchange rate free) for Bank of England notes if you are travelling from these islands to mainland UK although the Bank of England notes can be spent on these islands. I do not know any other country that is like the UK in having different versions of banknotes - it makes life interesting although most people don't notice it until visitor point it out - it is just normal to us - My current favourite is the Royal Bank of Scotland notes
Ireland hasn't used the pound for quite some time now. It's the Euro.
Northern Ireland, which uses the pound, has three banks that print currency.
Bank of Ireland (UK) plc
Northern Bank Limited (trades as Danske Bank)
National Westminster Bank plc
The Irish(Republic) note they showed hasn't been used from 2002.
lol we are the motherland to the US not the world.
The UK does use the pound as Its currency. The 4 seperate countries in the UK print their own version of the pound it's still the same thing.
Eggnog is a North American tradition. We drink mulled wine in Europe.
Actually egg nogg is british but fell from favour here many moons ago
@@gregbramwell7666 I am aware, Greg. As you rightly said, it fell from British favour a long time ago that I think most Brits wouldn’t even call it “our’s” anymore or are even aware of its origins here, just like the word, “soccer”.
I guess its not as bad as if they would call Germany the "Fatherland" because that would be really evil.
All in all, very underwhelming video, like how can we make us some problems from trivial things that are really not worth talking about at all.
I definitely see what you mean with this😢
@@foreignreacts Good to hear that i'm not the only one 😄
I'm glad that we don't have the excessive choice of food that the USA has. Quality over quantity every time for me. American food is over processed and full of nasty additives. It's the dollar over health in the USA.
in the black country in the west midlands , Alright mate means hello mate , but are you alright means are you good ok
Scotland and Northern Ireland have different looking notes, which can be used in any UK country (England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland)
I would add that having lived in England my whole life, I’m not aware of ever having seen a Scottish or Irish note myself.
This is such an odd consideration of the differences between the two countries, there are so many more that are worth hearing about and listening to besides these.
I personally can't think of anything worse, than having loads of different varieties of cereals etc, as it would take forever to do the shopping
we do have a shitload of varity though, please go to the usa and go to walmart. In the usa in like a walmart it looks like theres a lot of products but in reality its fairly similar, for example like cereal because the walmarts were always multiple stacked WIDE. Like 8 spaces horizontally were all the same cornflakes boxes. This would just be 1 wide in the uk hence the 'lack of varitety' comments, the usa just has the illusion of variety.
Plus they're all made by the same companies anyway.
My opinion regarding variety is that the US use that as a distraction. The US lacks a lot of basic human rights but 20+ different cereals, chocolates etc makes it look like the US is better because US equals multiple options you wont find any where else..... at convenience. Human rights like healthcare is to ignore though. Child protection, child care are secondary factors in business etc. This just my opinion, not hate to US people. I cant stand UK govt and their policies but I'm here so I get the vibe. Just an observation that US is promoted as the country with the best options in everything including food 😊
Surely there AREN'T multiple currencies in the UK, just Sterling. The fact that in Scotland they have different designs on the notes is just a tradition. A poun is a POUND!
UK has one currency - British Pound (images on notes can vary but it's the same money)
There is the coffee she's looking for in every coffee shop. It's even called Americana so American's know what they are looking for.
Eggnog comes from England so it's most likely the Americans who had been drinking the wrong nog the whole time.
But I can understand why someone who thinks in English would call England the motherland :D
this is beyond a confusing video, these people are very strange. Also I lived in the usa for 2 years and the varitety thing is just baffling and confusing. Imo these people have just never gone to an actual supermarket in the uk and theyre going to local small stores or something. You can get literally anything in the uk, including american products, theres polish stores, american stores, american indian, korean, mexican sections in supermarkets etc. In the usa in like a walmart it looks like theres a lot of products but in reality its fairly similar. Cereal for example, because the walmarts were always multiple stacked WIDE. Like 8 spaces horizontally were all the same cornflakes boxes. This would just be 1 wide in the uk hence the 'lack of varitety' comments, the usa just has the illusion of variety, also your biscuits isle is nothing compared to the UK. We generally dont have our electronics stores and home stores all in one, but theyre generally built beside each other in retail parks so sure the Tesco wont have a lot of stuff but you just walk across the road to the homestore, or arts and crafts or electronics store etc. Also not sure why youd struggle to buy pillow cushions in finland thats very confusing.
Scotland is different from the England Wales in some respects, Scotland issues its own bank notes ,they are similar, but a different design.Scotlands law /judicial system is different to England and Wales ,a English lawyer probably won't do any work in Scotland and vice versa. Things are different because England and Scotland signed an act of union when the king of Scotland also became King of England,they kept their own laws and systemsIts not unusual there are a number of Islands around Britain that are self governing,like Jersey, Guernsey,The Isle of Man ,the UK only deals/ represents them on matters of foreign affairs and defence . It's complicated and confusing but it works, ❤.
In 2000, psychologists Sheena Iyengar and Mark Lepper from Columbia and Stanford University published a study about jams, u should check this.. that will make alot of sence because in many countries in Europe actually some supermarkets and companys tried to reduse the choises and see if they have more profit..
Quality rather than variety.
Eggs are a whole other story
He's obsessed with banking. What I don't get is that in the US the server takes your card away to pay it, no chip & pin.
Some people are arsey about taking Scottish pound notes, but they are legal tender throughout the UK.
Egg Nogg is awful stuff, we don't really drink it
Egg nogg is british exported to usa but now nealry unheared in uk as not common now
I can’t believe they’re saying we don’t have a lot of choice in supermarkets. We have great food from all around the world. And mozzarella for example, it’s about 80% cheaper here than in America.
yea these are the type of people that refuse to use non branded products and are only going to their tesco express or asda local instead of a full sized supermarket. I lived in philidelphia for 2 years and have been to many a walmart. Walmart stacks products wide giving the illusion of choice to fill up large isles, so youll legit in the cereal isle see 8+ horizontally stacked of the exact same special K, captn crunch etc In the uk its generally just 1 or 2 wide. Walmart is also like strapping a B&Q to a Tesco xtra. In the uk we dont mind walking 30 seconds from the tesco, into the homebase, into the pets at home etc.
hm... what did they expect? To leave the US and their continent just to find everything like it is at home in the UK? Strange!
Different currency?? What nahh only pound sterling if it comes from Scotland it looks different but its still the same currency
It's the mother land for
Some white american
They're all pounds
scotland and ireland have there own currency pound made different from England's pound and scotland created the pound originated from scotland before england . bank of England was also created by a scotsman and we use the bank of scotland to created our money
That’s interesting
Honestly confusing
Would you mind explaining how that works
Being different while being the same?
@@foreignreacts Basically just different design, same value.
@@foreignreacts That Irish note is about 22 years old. Not in use anymore because Ireland uses the Euro. Most of Ireland is not in the UK. I think Northern Ireland (which is in it) does have it's own Pound Sterling notes but they are not used very often
@@foreignreacts Early notes were printed in black only. It was not until September 1777 that The Royal Bank of Scotland pioneered the use of colour in banknotes with a blue rectangle displaying the words 'one Guinea' and the King's head shown in red. Colour did not come into wide scale use until nearly a century later. Banknotes were originally printed on one side only.
Banknotes provided a crucial part of the currency of Scotland and, in the 18th and early 19th centuries, competed vigorously with coins. There were times, for example, when £1 notes were torn into halves and quarters and were accepted as the equivalent of 10 shillings (50p) or 5 shillings (25p) in coin.
Attempts to prevent forgery from a skilled engraver were certainly not on the scale of today's complex designs. The main deterrents were a water-marked paper, a mezzo-tint portrait of George II, an embossed bank seal and the signature of the Cashier. The accepted Scots punishment at that time of death or amputation of hand and/or tongue may have proved more effective!
Stamp Duty was first levied on bank notes in 1783. At first the Stamp Duty related only to notes over one guinea but by 1800 it had to be paid on every banknote. Under the Act the paper had to be stamped before each note was printed. Stamping the paper was a lengthy process as it involved the Scottish banks travelling to the Stamp Office in London. In 1808 the Scottish banks were granted the concession of issuing their notes on unstamped paper and paying the duty in a lump sum.
The greatest threat to the issue of the Scottish £1 notes arose in 1826. In February of that year an Act was passed forbidding the circulation of notes under £5 in England. The threat to the £1 notes - the only paper currency familiar to the great masses of the Scottish people - aroused widespread criticism. Sir Walter Scott's pen came to the defence of Scottish banking. Members of Parliament, the Press and a host of pamphleteers clamoured against conforming to the English style. A commission was set up and after full investigation it was decided to leave the note issues of Scotland (and Ireland) on their old footing.
In 1844, after a period of severe financial crisis, Sir Robert Peel took advantage of a review of the Bank of England's Charter to regulate the issue of notes. The Banknote (Scotland) Act, passed in 1845, allowed the banks to issue notes to the extent of the average circulation for the year to 1st May 1845 without any backing of coin or security, with the balance over that amount having to be covered at the Bank of England. It was the 1845 Act that regulated note issue by Scottish banks until the passing of the Banking Act 2009.
Scottish banknotes today
Today, the combined circulation value of notes issued by the authorised banks in Scotland is in the region of £3.5 billion. In accordance with the terms of the 2009 Act and the associated Banknote Regulations and Rules, issuing banks require to fully back their notes at all times with ring-fenced assets held partly in Bank of England notes and UK coin and partly in deposits held at the Bank of England. This, of course, means that holders of banknotes issued by the Scottish banks receive the same level of protection as that provided to holders of Bank of England notes.
Although no longer in general circulation, banknotes issued by organisations such as the Union Bank of Scotland, North of Scotland Bank, Commercial Bank of Scotland, the British Linen Bank and many more, are now collectors' items. These and other banks have been absorbed into the present three note-issuing banks by a process of merger and takeover in the latter half of the 20th century. While these notes continue to be honoured by the present-day banks, they are often worth more than their face value to collectors. The three note issues remain popular and some banks, from time to time, issue specially designed commemorative notes to mark, for example, a special anniversary or notable achievement.
Alongside the right to issue its own notes goes the responsibility to dispose of them when they have completed their useful life. The notes used to be burnt, under strictest security and in quantities often exceeding £1 million, at the Banks' Head Offices. In these days of more environmental awareness the notes are now granulated and the paper is recycled
Btw are your parents from east africa?
No not a chance
This video is a load of misinformation.The currency is the GBP (British pound) whether an English pound or Scottish pound. Etc. Egg Nog is virtually unknown as we have much better advoccaat.

This couple… hmmm…. Living here for a few years…. But where? Out in the middle of Rockall?? On a hill in the Outer Hebrides?? They don’t seem to have ventured out much really…their “knowledge” is wrong on a lot of counts!
The YT channel, the Geekdom couple, Cara & Jeremy ‘lived’ and toured around the UK for just about seven + months (they loved it over here!) and seem fully genned up on the UK way of “all things strange” life - perhaps they could pass on some useful hints and tips and how to manage our “multiple currencies” 🤔😵💫 and lack of variety when buying food. As I recall when Cara went shopping in M&S, she was overwhelmed with the food quality and varieties on the shop shelves…..
hey ho…. 🫤🫤
