Hey! I'm Alanna - a twenty-something documenting my life as a Canadian living in England.
I share the ups and downs of an expat living abroad and what it's really like living in the UK. It's not always easy, but there's been so many wonderful experiences, too. I post a RUclips video every Tuesday and an additional video every Saturday on my Patreon account. I also livestream every Wednesday and Sunday at 6:30pm GMT on Twitch.

I teach English to refugees. One day a student asked me why Welsh people sing to each other when they meet? After much questioning I realized she meant when we say "hiya". We sounded like we were singing to her. Bless her cotton socks
That sounds really odd and weird but it really just shows how other people can interpret something they've never come across before.
That is so sweet!!
To be fair, Welsh people tend to sing at the drop of a hat (at least if drinking has happened).
Welsh accents, and indeed, Wales, are/is beautiful.
Al DEE haha wow this is a great anecdote ! I hadn't thought of it, but hiya does sound musical! , Perhaps especially us in the East Mids when we sound the first note really high on purpose ! 🤣
Queueing is a sign of respect as much as anything in England. You understand that you're no more important that anyone else.
Perfectly put.
You don't necessarily queue at a bus stop but you are aware roughly who was before you and allow them to go ahead. It's done without fuss and considered the polite thing to do.
Hornblower - people don’t queue at bus stops in London anymore.
Andy P that’s because people in London are absolute arseholes
@@NapoleonGelignite most people in london are not british
We’re not weird. Everyone else is!🤣
You said it man!!! 😊👍
We're the only ones with the correct time zone. Everybody else is before or after us.
Yanks are weird sometimes
Agreed! We speak English, most of us properly, we drive on the correct side of the road and we are, again mostly, xenophobic - what's weird about that?
I don't think they're weird some of these habits I have in America
You really ought to work for the British tourist board. So nice to see someone not from here appreciate what we do have in the UK, I think we sometimes forget.
These are not weird Habits but correct ways of thinking
Craving for pub's and yorkshire puds ! Getting pissed and ordering chinese ! Sorry canada this girl is now british x
I see what you did there 😂xx
I make Yorkshire puddings at home in New Orleans! Super easy.
Canadians ARE British!
@moobs moomin When this Canadian girl bangs on about dunking ginger nuts in a cuppa, them she has turned British.
Another common one I noticed you actually said in this video is “Yorkshires” instead of Yorkshire puddings. “Do you want Yorkshires with your dinner” , “I love Yorkshires” etc.
That's such a good point, thank you!!
In Yorkshire we regularly call them, simply, Yorkshires. The “pudding” would be superfluous. But, by the way: you ARE coming back to the U.K., aren’t you?
@@andrewmpc96 Yorkshire puddings with jam & cream are amazing.
Andrew P.C. Well, here goes:
1. People in the U.K. very often refer to a dessert as being “pudding”, though obviously not all desserts are puddings or need cooking at all (for example a fruit salad). So they might say “I’m having soup/prawns for my starter, steak/turbot or whatever for my main course, and sticky toffee pudding/summer fruits with cream, or whatever, for my pudding.”
2. Yorkshire pudding mix is the same batter you’d use to cook a pancake - it’s just that Yorkshire’s are cooked in cake tins but pancakes are cooked thinly in a frying pan, and sweet stuff (fruit, maple syrup, lemon Juice or whatever may then be added to the pancakes).
3. Yorkshire’s are not always eaten as part of the main course. That is often the case, but not always. For example, especially in Yorkshire and the north of England, a large Yorkshire would often be served BEFORE the main course, maybe with some onions and gravy, as a starter. And it is now common to see meals served not directly on a plate but actually encompassed in a giant Yorkshire Pud (almost acting as a bowl on top of the plate) , filled with meat, veg and gravy. So you eat out of the Yorkshire, and then eat the pud itself which has absorbed all that meaty goodness into itself. They are especially common in pubs as a lunchtime meal, but they could include different items, not just a Sunday Roast - such as sausages, onions and gravy etc.....
Raymond Porter and also I know my wife and her family (from the Midlands) love Yorkshire and sugar or Yorkshire and syrup for dessert/pudding. I am often tasked with making more than needed so there are plenty left over for sugar.
Getting Pissed in a pub … you are assimilated :)
Brilliant!!!
resistance is futile
I rate this video 4 out of 3 friendly drivers' waves.
and that's the reverse of how many people wave thanks in the uk too atleast near brum
And to go with “hiya” You can say “see ya” instead of “goodbye”
Don't forget "see ya later", or "sees ya later" - which I often used to hear when I lived in Kent. Nothing wrong in that, as such, but where I come from "later" means "this evening/in a few hours' time"... in Kent, however, it might mean "see you after the weekend" or "see you when you get back from your holiday in a fortnight".
"...inabit"
wow
@@mazerati4855 In South Wales, we say "I'll see you now in a bit" or "I'll see you now after".
Nah, the correct way to say bye, is by slapping your knees and saying "right then better be off" meaning you should have left 2 hours and 3 "right then's" ago
The queue thing is taught early on. I remember queueing in organised lines at infant school after ever play time, lunch time and at the start of the day. (I don't know how that works anywhere else across the world to be fair)
Japan - they queued for the busses to take them away from the nuclear power station that had been hit by the tsunami. Amazing to see.
Some of those Habits may seem weird but the thought right now of just being able to go for a lunchtime walk to a quiet country pub, queuing at the bar to get in a round of drinks and then ordering a huge Sunday roast with lots of Yorkshire puddings seems just like heaven. May the good times return soon. 🙂
Hopefully soon, just not too soon!
Waving is entry level British driving. You've gone native if you flick either indicator on briefly when they let you change lanes on the motorway
Two clicks of the hazards lights = Thank you.
When you eventually get back to England and the Pubs reopen, it's your round! xx
One more thing I love about these videos, is its so cool to see someone love and comment on the UK style and words we use because as a UK national, we do it naturally so it's fascinating to hear someone pick up on these phrases or habits/way of life. Awesome 😁😎🤗🌟👏🌟
Thanks so much! 😊
I'm Irish living in London. For years, people were too polite to tell me that some of the things I say confuses them! One thing I say ALL the time is "sure, you know yourself", I was totally unaware that this had no meaning to an English person...
Nothing beats a traditional old English pub☺
Your not a foreigner now your an honorary English woman.
right, i've told her this before. Canadian are always welcome and if they live among us, they are easily accepted as one of us. Most of them are only 2,3 or 4 generations away from us anyway.
A woman of Kent or a Kentishwoman - but which? Hints she has dropped: living near a cathedral and a castle. That could be Rochester or Canterbury - so we can't determine.
@@frogandspanner A "Malt"? :-)
NOSTALGIA for the days when I would visit my English friends in Hampshire and would be asked questions such as:
"Would you like to have lunch in the NEW FOREST today?" YES, PLEASE!!!.
There are some wonderful Pubs in the New Forest. Nothing better than an old Thatched Pub sitting in the Beer garden on a hot Summer day with a pint of your favourite tipple with friends.
@@Jade-pd3wm Great memories. Hope to go back as soon as I can. My invitations remain open!
"New Forest" because it was newly created by William the Conqueror in the 11th century
Don't forget the small village cafes there that serve cream teas YUM!
I'm canadian and now live in the New Forest. I feel very lucky to be here!
I too have more bags for life than life left to use them in 😮
Hey Alanna, good to see you’re well. Thank you continuing to entertain us during these scary times
I agree 😊 I just came across her videos on RUclips - it must have come up when searching something else that's similar. I'm glad RUclips has that feature
I appreciate Alanna sharing her Great Canadian sence of humor with everyone...😊
There is a code to x's. 1 x = just being nice. 2 x = you're a good friend/they have OCD. 3 x = your significant other or someone who is trying to make it clear that they want to be your significant other.
I had a colleague that addressed me as darling - found it very disconcerting at first until I realised she said it to everyone.
We don’t murder people for incorrect queueing...we mercilessly tut them. It’s vicious.
Yes I can relate to this being an older Brit in Canada. There are a lot of British habits I have that I will never lose. I have picked up a lot of Canadian habits and sayings things like holy smokes and for sure and stockpiling all of my bottles, cans and milk cartons for 6 months for the bottle bank 😂
Hiya Alanna, you are missing out just now, we now have 'Extreme Queuing' e.g. you just want to buy some Thatchers (Gold or Cloudy lemon) from your local (insert supermarket name here) and you have to stand in 'a line' 2m behind the person(s) in front of you for approx 40 mins then follow the 'flow' arrows inside the shop (still keeping 2m apart) until you get to the Cider/lager/beer isle. After picking up your required tipple you then have to queue (keeping 2m apart) in the 'Iv'e finished my shopping queue' to be allocated to a checkout. Then you have to join the queue to leave the shop.......... good times! Also weather is currently fab in the UK (more specifically SW England) Thanks for the vid xx
And somehow this has become really soothing, now everyone queues in an orderly fashion, and told off if they don't. Ahhh legal queing, be still my beating heart.
As an English person currently living in Ontario, I was curious to see what a Canadian’s experience was like living in my own country. Listening to this made me laugh, especially at some of the terminology we brits use. I miss the banter, the humour and a beer garden. The main thing I miss from back home is a GREGGS sausage roll🤣
Girl, you are homesick, and I mean "UK homesick" get your arse back home, we would love to adopt you.
Sad......getting a hard on over a Canadian tart.
AYTAZED go away
I could go for a pint in a pub right now.
A pint or ten…
You and me both Gary
I could 'murder' a pint or three right now.
Thatcher's cold cider on a hot day in the beer garden 🍻👍
Oh yes, the weather is great at the moment, a pint or 3 in a beer garden would be heaven...
The key to Yorkshire puddings is to have the tray smoking hot when you pour the mixture in
Lard or sunflower oil that has a high smoking point too x
Does it make a difference whether you use full cream, semi-skimmed or skimmed milk? After a couple of my Yorkshire Pudding failures I wondered if it is because for slimming reasons I tend to buy skimmed or semi-skimmed milk.
Legal Vampire I would use full fat milk but semi is fine
Legal Vampire, I took notes the last time I saw James Martin make perfect Yorkshire Puddings. 8oz Plain flour, 8 eggs, 1 Pint FULL FAT Milk. Dripping or Lard in your tin. He made the point of not using semi-skimmed. Good luck next time.👍
Mark: You forgot the most important touch - the Kiss of an Angel.
"Cuppa tea" not even "a cup of tea". You are defo one of us Alanna! Pubs.....god i miss those too!
Your comment about having a few to many then getting a Chinese is spot on. Very British thing.
When I go for a walk in the Midlands countryside, I always go and drink Tenants super down by a canal and shout at the pigeons.
I wondered who that piss head was shouting at me for stealing their Greggs...
@@KillerPigeon-ct6ss Was that you who stole my Greggs!
Comebackere wiv me food ya bastud!
Nothing is better than a cup of tea on a hot summers day with a handful of dunky biscuits, heaven.
Yes, there is - a bag of chips or a cheesy jacket spud
Just for laughs cracks me up it's so deliciously wicked, so yes I'd say Canadians have a great sense of humour. Laters from England
The secret with Yorkshire Puds is to make sure the oil is smoking hot before you pour in the batter. You can also use Self Raising flour instead of Plain flour. Hope this works for you.
At 5:10 you "literally" have bags-for-life coming out of your ears.
haha. I literally laughed my head off.
Trick with Yorkshire puddings is mix the ingredients at least a couple of hours before you need and put it in the fridge. Hot oil in the tins and cold pudding mix, you're welcome.
Doctor, Doctor. I feel like a snooker ball.
Well, get to the end of the queue.
Making tea..it is one of the oddest things, but there are a lot of reasons.. when you are stressed and someone needs a little space, they go and make a tea.. its a routine..you have to be logical in making tea. tea is more a ritual for peace.. then you get a lot of wars.. about how to make it.. pot, or mug, milk first or 2nd.. and so on.
I would be interested in seeing a video of your recommendations of things to do in Ontario and Florida. I know we can't travel at the moment but you said you have a mostly British audience and that could be appealing.
I'll definitely add it to the list!
I miss the pub. Saying hiya to the barman/woman, going for a walk to the pub, drinking too much at the pub, queuing at the bar for the pub, buying rounds at the pub, apologising when you don't have the correct change for your pint. I miss the pub.
I've lived in London for many years. (sun is beating down today so it's hot and sweaty but very very quiet).. The Queue that amused me the most is the one that forms at Canary Wharf tube station in the evenings.. people line up automatically at the doors of the train and you can spot the tourists because they have no comprehension as to what's happening and barge to the front... to some very loud tutting (and people turning to the person next to them to bitch very loudly about it)
8oz flour
1/2 pint milk ( full cream)
4 eggs
Heat the oil till it’s spitting hot
Put in the patter and cook for 20mins
200’c
"Hi my name's Alanna and I am the....thing" Great self promo Love it hahaha
Yorkshire pudding can be eaten as a starter not just used for a main meal.
It’s amazing that I do the “wave” thing at cars too! Don’t know if it’s a common thing in Spain but I do it, haha!
We do it too here, in Switzerland :')
Humour built for Both countries. Love it. Have a nice week Hunny. X
Love your videos so much! I love how much you say in each video - " without further ado, let go" and at the end you say "byeeeee" it's cute! 😊 your boyfriend is very lucky! 🌟🌟🌟
I can't be the only person who performs the "let's go" and "bye-eeeeeeee" gestures as they watch those bits, right?
Right ?
@@AthAthanasius I do exactly the same thing as well
@@AthAthanasius Me too! Every time 😊
Yorkshire puddings:
Equal volume of egg, whole milk, plain flour. Whisk and let rest for a few hours. Pour into a muffin tray half full of oil that's been warmed in a 180°C oven. Bake for 20-25 minutes 👌
Hi pal - I've already made them, but cheers!
@@AdventuresAndNaps but this recipe is fool proof! You said you had some hit and miss attempts, thought this might help 😎
Found out something that would interest you Alanna. Apparently public sector staff cannot be furloughed, so your visa application should not be delayed.
Wouldn't it depend on the Canadian government rules and when Canadian visa offices open up? The UK visa office in Toronto for example is completely closed. (Alanna lives in Ontario so this is her only option for visa offices). If you know more than me though I wanna hear! I'm also waiting to apply for a UK visa from Ontario :p
Awesome! Get back to the UK asap
@@carly10347 Damn, good luck with the visa application!
@@carly10347 no, her UK visa will be processed by UK staff. The Canadian part of the process is a small one.
@@hairyairey But she'd have to have an appointment first in Canada, most visa applicants would anyway. So it'd be delayed in that sense. Anyway, best of luck Alanna.
Flashing lights is a thing and flashing hazard lights as "thanks for letting me" in is common in Japan where I am.
Being very old and fat my time may come soon, but I so look forward to you each week you lighten my day, so here goes, xxxxx
The carrier bag thing got me lol I also see that another 3 years in England has pushed you to be a tea lover. You got there in the end 😁
Adventures and Naps day 😋
Rounds at the pub Simplified. In a busy pub it is easier for one person to go to the bar and get served rather than 6 -8 or whatever your group size . So it generally works one of you goes to the bar and orders and you have a 2nd person ferrying the drinks back to your group .This allows the social side ,Conversations banter jokes or whatever to carry on with minimal people not present ,And cuts down the need for bar staff having to serve X amount of individuals. So it generally saves time for all
Someone should do a study of the signals people use while driving, hand signs, light flashing etc. I live in England and flashing lights indicates that you are letting someone else go before you - very considerate and polite. But, I lived in another country (no name) where flashing lights were used aggressively to say "get outta my way"!
When you do your car wave it's definitely done for driving on the left, not the right. Your default driving mode is British, not Canadian. One of us!
With your Yorkshire Puds - make sure the oil is smoking hot before you pour the batter in. If the oil isn't hot enough the puds will be a bit soggy. Hope this resolves your problem. The word queue comes from pigtails (plaits) worn by sailors many years ago. These pigtails were called queues. The pigtail hung straight down. The line of people looked like a pigtail or queue.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Ref Yorkshire puds. You can batch cook them and they freeze really well. Take them straight from the freezer, put them in a preheated over (200C/390F) for 5 minutes. As a Brit who lived in the US for 4 years, I used to do this a lot 😋
"Cuppa tea" Yes i agree this confirms you are now a Brit!!
Yorkshire pudding help from a Yorkshireman! If you're finding that your Yorkshires aren't rising:
1) Oil isn't hot enough, and/or
2) You haven't beaten the batter enough and therefore don't have enough air in the mixture to help it rise (your whisk is the baking powder!)
Keep going Alanna!
Who dosen`t love a chinese after a pint or....
Mark Cadman, Five.
So many Chinese, are happy when she's ordering them! Specially after a few pints! 😁
Great sober, fantastic tipsy or drunk. And with the Just Eat app, it's so easy. They can turn up at the pub with your food. Or could when pubs were still open.
This is an outrage you only go to an Indian after the pub and spill it all on the table and you’re shirt and wake up wondering what happened.
An Indian after a few pints now , no Chinese from now on .
As an Englishman, I've often wished queueing were an Olympic sport.
The key with cooking Yorshire puddings is getting the oil to a very high temperature in the oven first( smoking hot) then you put the batter mix into the oil pop it back into the oven and hey presto!
But do you do the weird half-smile-raised-eyebrow-eyecontact face when passing a stranger?
Home made Yorkshire Puddings are the best :) An easy recipe is 1/3 plain flour, 1/3 eggs, 1/3 milk. Mix it up and make it nice and then pour into a hot yorkshire pudding tray with a spoon of oil in the bottom - cook on high til they're just starting to get crispy. Cupcake tray could work. Yum.
Regarding the X in text messages, Wandering Ravens (an American couple who do videos about UK food and culture) mentioned the same recently, with a warning not to use three X's.
So much yes to the X at the end of texts. I used to get SO much grief from the two female members of my teaching dept in the UK for the fact that I didn’t do that at the end of my texts to them. They were convinced it meant I hated them. I, as a Canadian and also being quite a bit older than them considered it just weird that it would even be considered a thing...
You don't have enough carrier bags until the cupboard under your sink has a ball of bags within bags that, for some unknown reason, you only ever add to but never reduce.
It's more the extreme sarcasm especially when dry this is what most Americans or Canadians say they don't get
True story, I once saw an old guy in front of me in the supermarket queue (grocery store line for yanks ;) ) He bought 2 bags for life to pack his shopping in. After I made my purchases and left the store, I saw the same guy getting treatment from an ambulance crew. Sadly my 1st thought was "bags for life, waste of money"
When you come back to the Uk visit Scotland & do the Glasgow pub crawl & finish with a Chinese.
Love Glasgow. Went there from Newcastle on a pub crawl with my friend and others for his stag night. One of my best nights ever.. Been and stayed a few times with work but its different when you are there for work. I moved to Canada 12 years ago only to find my next door neighbour was Glaswegian and he had a pool table in his basement. Instant friendship 😁
I had to check my backpack (you know, rucksack) at some museum in London and the (young cute) guy said "sorry...thank you" twice when he was retrieving efficiently it without a hitch.
I said it in the discord & I’ll say it again, you always talk about the weather in your videos, that’s so British 😋😋😋 Great video Alanna 😄👍🏻
I don't even notice!! 😂😂
Talking about the weather is the default conversation here in Ontario.
I drive a lorry at night and, yes, the full beam flash, while courteous, can get annoying. The nicer thing to do is to switch your main beam to the sidelights quickly and back to main instead. You still get a 'thank you' flash but, it doesn't ruin your night vision. :) Also, when you return to our little island, hopefully soon, and you find yourself driving along a country lane at night and meet another car that has to reverse. Switch your main beam to sidelights while they reverse as it makes it so much easier to see what's behind them in their mirrors while reversing. :) It really should be in the Highway Code as it makes such a difference not driving into a hidden wall or tree. lol. :)
Adding "x" or "xxx" at the end of a message is something that comes automatically to a lot of people. It isn't always appropriate but is nearly alway more appropriate than "lol".
I remember a comedian on British TV telling us that her mother had just discovered texting, but was under the impression that "lol" stood for "lots of love" rather than "laugh out loud". She said that she had once got a text message from her mum that made her re-assess their relationship. Her paternal grandmother had been seriously ill for a very long time, when she received a text message from her mum saying: "just to let you know - gran has finally died. Lol."
I had a friend called Lawrence, but we all called him Lol. So all his texts ended "lol".
I always flash my lights. It's good manners xx lol. 🇬🇧❤️ Thank you for being kind about us xx
Not exactly a weird British habit, but we're British and now whenever we have lasagne and salad, we have a couple of Yorkshire puds with it!
The puds not only go great with the mince beef, but also the lasagne's white sauce
It's when you tie bells to your clothes and bang sticks together, with your friends is the time to worry. No x's today.
X xxx
You forgot to mention beating people over the head with pigs bladders... honestly the only British thing that I am ashamed by, and the brits have bashed pretty well everyone else on Earth, but I’m ashamed of Morris dancing.
The fat should be nigh on smoking before pouring in the batter.
Add an extra egg yolk if you want extra height.
Having the fat not hot enough and the batter too thin or too thick can cause problems.
Toad in the hole is my favourite and so is coffee :-)
Alanna, 18 minutes of entertaining video each Wednesday morning (time zones at work here in Australia) keeping boredom at bay. Your smile is so endearing it lightens my mood every time I see it.
i don't know where your sarcasm is from, but i'm reeally in love with you and your eyes and sense of humor
You're a Brit with a Canadian passport, I think you know it. One thing I do is when at a zebra crossing, even though the cars have to let me cross, I wave at them as to say thanks. It's polite and that's just how we are (even in Blackpool lol), but our people are so similar in so many ways that's probably why we like each other so much.
When you’re sat on the sofa and say right while slapping your thighs as you stand up. Every British person ever
And letting out a light groan of effort once you are upright.
in my area we go Ok... as if getting the nerve to stand up
Tom: I've never realised that habit before but you are so right.
My dogs have picked up "Right!" as a cue for going for a walk. They've also learned "Not *that* right" to calm down again.
Hmmm. Yorkshire puds. I agree they're just heavenly if done properly, but you're right about them being a case of 'trial and error' if you're trying them at home. Spot on. xx
You will be back soon and doing all the things you like to do.
The Yorkshire pudding craving thing is weird.
Do you make the large ones and fill them with onion gravy...?
Canadian humour must be very similar to British humour because your humours is brilliant!
Main tip for perfect Yorkshire Puds.......let the batter rest before using, even if only for half an hour. Also, the fat needs to be VERY hot. In order to get this level of heat, animal fat (beef dripping, lard or duck/goose fat) works best, as oil burns at lower temperature.
I couldn't get through most of that video without thinking "I really want a chinese now". This is not helping my waistline
Hi Alanna, thanks for sharing another interesting video as always. Here in Australia "buying rounds" is referred to as "shouting". Also, in Queensland, I have heard that if you enter a pub, have a drink and then place your glass upside down, you are actually challenging the biggest guy in the pub for a fight. Scary stuff!!! Anyway, take care. Robert.
You are awesome you brighten up my day thank you so much and the UK misses you hope your safe keep well 👍🏻
Thank you so much!
Don't worry, I knew Canadians had a sense of humour too. :)
In all seriousness, I don't think we should gatekeep as much as we tend to, toward any nation.
Ahhhhh I love a good old Kent County Country walk. Up The Great Stour Way.
In school you saying lining up then when you leave school you have to say queue lol weird eh
We plan (or used to) walks then stop at the pub, have lunch find out they have a band on later. Drink a few too many pints then get a taxi home. God I miss that!
I grew up in Kent and "hiya" was my little sister's first word 😂
I think hiya is the first word for many children in the UK these days
That's too cute!!!
Probably cos half the people we know say "Hiya!" to us as babies! Never forget to pull a gurn whilst doing so! 😊
In some parts of South Wales, you used to hear "Hiya, kid! How's tricks?", or "How be?" With a silent "h" usually - "iya kid, 'ow's tricks?" or "ow be?".
thank you lady A. also .... you are not the only person to apologize to doors or other structural devices! done it many a time myself. keep up the great work! big love to all :D
Yes! Thank you!
After a few pints we'd get an Indian in Leicester. Vindaloo.
Yep, very much a leicester thing also true in parts of Birmingham and Manchester but not many other places.
Although in Brum its a balti rather than a vindaloo that is the post pints curry of choice
Oooh love an Indian xx
Make Yorkshires by volume, any container small for one or two larger for many. e.g, fill to brim with dry ingredients then wet ingredients. Flour, eggs, milk, mix thoroughly then its essential to rest for at least half an hour the longer the better! If doing for Sunday lunch leave overnight and then mix again before putting in oven plus add salt pepper
Also heat the oil in oven until smoking then add mixture! Back into oven until risen!
You can also have as a pudding if you add sugar to mixture! Nice with 'jam' stewed fruit
If you have problems with them rising you can add a little baking powder as this activates in heat ( not bicarb)
