We don't tend to complain about our personal situations because it's considered a grave social sin for a Brit to bring undo attention to their personal problems in front of others. If our families were just murdered in front of us and you asked us how we're doing, we'd say "oh you know, not too bad.."

I was only joking but rounds are only something you do with mates really, you can opt out of a drink or rounds later (especially if you've got a round in). No one forces anyone it's just a cultural thing, I get a round in and don't take offense if someone wanted out or left early or whatever. I buy mates drinks because I like them, I appreciate it turning into rounds but if it doesn't then I don't mind either. With my friends though if we're not doing rounds it'll probably be because they're short of cash at the moment and are making drinks last or being more choosey. I've never been to USA or Canada but if you have a tab system (especially with drinks brought over) for drinks then it makes sense to get your own but in a small UK pub you can see why people do rounds in tiny bar areas rather than all going up to the bar around the same time buying for and paying then individual drinks.
Just watched this vid and feel the need to be very British and correct you on the "radiators are better" thing. Firstly, what you described in your new build was not a radiator. It's what we call a night storage heater and is absolutely not efficient. They work by heating thermal bricks overnight when electricity is cheaper and then releasing the heat when required. What you described from Canada sounds to me like what we used to call ducted warm air. A central boiler heats air (presumably in some kind of heat exchanger; I'm not too familiar with the systems) and that warm air is gently wafted out of vents around the house. We flirted with the system for a while, but I haven't seen it in any houses built since the 60s or 70s. I guess it makes some sense if you can blast cool air through it in the summer, so maybe that's why it's used in Canada? Anyway, radiators are filled with water which is heated directly by a central boiler and then pumped around the house. It's a much more direct and efficient heating mechanism than ducted warm air or night storage heaters. So that's my British piece. Radiators are better.
I would agree that water filled radiators are one of the most efficient forms of central heating, perhaps underfloor heating beats it. Storage heaters were only used as a way of using electricity at night because coal fired power stations could not be powered down. They are still useful in smaller dwellings that are not connected to mains gas. they are only practical because of the Economy 7 tariff. Warm air central heating was impractical and expensive.. My parents house was built in 1970 with warm air heating. They replaced it with radiators because it was very expensive to run. I assume that in Canada energy is cheaper then in the UK so inefficient heating systems are acceptable
I think radiators and heating were a bad example of us being "stuck in our ways" to be honest. We like our traditions, we don't generally like fancy for the sake of being fancy and we aren't easily enticed by shiny things unless they serve a good practical purpose. To say that we don't welcome new technology is massively wrong though. The UK has always been right at the forefront of adopting and innovating new technology. We're a world leader in renewable energy and our building regulations change often to make new build houses more energy efficient. Modern boilers are efficient, radiators are just fine and our central heating systems last decades with minimal maintenance. Crank up the heating in a modern house in winter and you'll soon be opening the windows to cool it down. There are plenty of people out there experimenting with new alternative heating systems but the reality is the thermal efficiency of your house makes much more of a difference than the heating system you use. It isn't worth having air conditioning for the one week a year where it's too hot inside, it just gives us a welcome opportunity to complain about the weather for a bit. I know plenty of grandparents who were kids during World War 2 but use the internet and walk around with smartphones so to imply that we're stuck in our ways and don't like adopting new technology just isn't true.
Probably a rental property avoiding any use of gas - saves on all the lawfully required expensive yearly checks for landlords - just have electric heaters, electric water boiler, electric oven and hob. Most modern houses have super efficient combi boilers that provide hot water for heating and washing, and a gas hob (but electric oven?!? - don't know why the electric oven).
Forced air heating tends to create ultra-dry air which turns human occupants into dried prunes, needs frequent filter changes to avoid circulating allergens, and gives you a lovely taste/smell of burnt house dust (dried human skin) when heat is called for on the first cold day of Autumn. If you live in a climate that requires cooling in summer and heating in winter, forced air is about the only option unless you're willing to pay for two independent systems in one house.
@@gracenotes5379 I must agree with this. I am a Brit living in Canada. It does blow up dust, drys your skin and had sinus for the first 5months of moving here. The only thing they are good for is AC. Radiators are the best!
One of my American friend's, had a go at me once. She was like "you're so British, always apologising for nothing... when going to the toilet, getting up from a bus seat and someone's on the outside seat, when someone else walks into you. What the hell is with that?" - well, needless to say, I replied with "sorry".
In times of danger or stress, a British man should never show emotion or fear that might lead to panic in a woman a child or a horse. A stiff upper lip is a public service.

If you have bricks inside your “radiators”, then you don’t have radiators. You have storage heaters. And they are the worst type of heating possible. I’m amazed they’re in a new build. I thought they stopped installing those things in the 1970s. I had them in a flat I used to live in. They were hopeless. House was roasting during the day and freezing any time after 4 o’clock in the afternoon.
My grandma was in her 70s in the 70s and she knew how to work them in her council flat. And while we're on the subject, she made her tea with sterra*. Bloody awful an' all ! (*Sterilised Milk)
grahamlive Ageeed storage heaters are absolute pants. I think they’re only fitted now (or some half assed fan heater version) where the contractor is either trying to cut outlay costs or there’s no gas pipe installation (which costs a lot if you have to pay to be connected from what I remember)
How we do certain things in the UK... when it comes to tea... American: you want tea, dude? British: Sure, mate. American:: Oh... I only have one left. British: We'll I'll have it. American:: no it's mine, I've grown quite attached to it. British: how about i'll kick you in the nuts and you kick me in the nuts, whoever's left standing, gets the tea. American: who came up with that British: It's British law. American: Oh... okay then. *british kicks american in the nuts* American: AHHHRRR.... O-okay.... m-my t-t-turn... British: Fack off, I don't like PG tips, keep ya fackin tea.
It has to be the right biscuit though. I never got on with rich tea because it's dunking capabilities were so weak. A hobnob is a good bet. Perhaps Alanna will make a biscuit tasting video; she might even get to like tea as a result.
Real question: which biscuits? For me (as a northern brit) its: Hobnobs Digestives (milk chocolate) Rich Teas Ginger Nuts Bourbons Yes, I like biscuits.
it is one thing to say, it is the right way for me, maybe not for others. or jokingly, it is the only way. but it's never a good idea to impose our ideas on other people.
In my opinion, Canada is built with so many cultures, languages, ethnicities, religions, etc, that people tend to accept that others do things different, even if they are Canadian. Just my two cents!
I gotta say, I do find the self righteousness of my countrymen quite annoying. Yeah, you do stuff the English way when you're in England, but its shit like "Its called the English language, we invented it". Bruh, you don't invent languages, it doesn't work like that. If you're in Canada, use the Candian words, if you're in England, use the English words. Its really not hard.
@@AdventuresAndNaps In my opinion, we British have always been the same. We have always accepted different cultures and mix among them too. However, if other cultures try to change us, that will never happen!!

I always say "Hello" or "Good day how are you" to everyone I meet ...especially if they are elderly ..it may be the only human contact they may have had that day , , be good to all is my motto
I do that with the elderly in my village but that's also because they usually say it first to me. Although that's largely because even if I don't know them, they know me because my family is well known throughout the village. I mean, a 'Hello' as you walk by costs you nothing, so why not?
@Tony Marshall Hahahaha. Neither. My grandparents were the really friendly type who'd lived here all their lives (except for a period after retirement), so they got to know a lot of people. That led to my parents being well known and then myself, even if I have no idea who these people are. It is far less frequent these days, as obviously some folks have passed on, but in my childhood I couldn't walk down a street without someone saying hello.
I find most Canadians are very polite similar to the British. I have a furnace in the basement with forced air though ducting and comes up through the floors. While convenient it causes air to be dry and dusty which is not good for your lungs. Radiators are a better choice

I moved to Canada (Calgary, AB) and lived there for 8 years before moving back to the UK. One of the very first things that struck me was when I was invited around a friends house, they asked me if I would like some tea. Of course I said, and then they replied with "..What flavour?".. I was like are you freaking kidding me, what on Earth are you talking about? "Well I have raspberry, lemon, jasmine, rwandan mint or cranberry"... "Tea... Just tea please". I was utterly stunned at the fact there was more than one flavour of tea. Tea is tea. It's an experience I'll never ever forget.
Radiators are great. The UK tried warm air heating systems like US/Canada in the 70s/80s and we didn't like it. Who wants dusty air being blown around? And yes, we do know best ;)
Bleeding bleeding radiators eh?. That's very simple I do that all the time. The other thing the tea bags that won't fly for me I don't really drink tea I am not a coffee drinker eh
The ‘manners’ point is so relatable here’s an incident that happened with me: I got on the bus and asked the driver for a ticket, I forgot to say please he was like ‘say please or else I won’t give you the ticket’ I was so embarrassed in front on everyone and I couldn’t do anything. I come from a country where it isn’t common to say please for transportation tickets
The driver should not have embarrassed you: there is no excuse for that, but if you are open to mixing in to our society it is something to remember. If in doubt, say, "thank you". It costs nothing and is normally appreciated.
The “British way” is different depending on the area of the country. All you have to do is say please and thank you. Also outside cities, it’s nothing like what your describing.
As a 40+ yr old I'd say it's a bit of a myth to suggest that only in recent yrs we've had hot summers (are we going all global warming here or something?) anyway, I've remembered hot summers all through my life (and heard tell of hot summers well before it). The pertinent point is that they don't last nearly long enough generally to justify the expence of air con...the cold in winters certainly do justify central heating! So to sum up, it does get uncomfortably hot for a month or so, but that's just something we tend to mitigate with fans.
Radiators don't have bricks in them, I don't know what you have in your house but it isn't a radiator. They are heated by hot water being pumped through them. The only tip you need is to stock Yorkshire tea, sugar and milk in your house and you're golden.
You haven't got radiators then , you have storage heaters 😂 they did do houses with what was called warm air heating in the 70s in UK but it proved really expensive plus we don't have basements to have vents in the floors , the vents were in the walls hence taking up more space in the wall space with all the metal ducting . (Heating history over soz ) 🤣😉 good vid as usual 👍
I lived in a home with the hot air routed through ducts under the floor that surfaced with grills in the floor boards that were obscured by the curtains. We'd sit there wondering why we were freezing, then pull the curtain back and find the dog lying on top of it. It was very expensive to run and had a huge monster of a thing in the loft.

I was only joking but rounds are only something you do with mates really, you can opt out of a drink or rounds later (especially if you've got a round in). No one forces anyone it's just a cultural thing, I get a round in and don't take offense if someone wanted out or left early or whatever. I buy mates drinks because I like them, I appreciate it turning into rounds but if it doesn't then I don't mind either. With my friends though if we're not doing rounds it'll probably be because they're short of cash at the moment and are making drinks last or being more choosey. I've never been to USA or Canada but if you have a tab system (especially with drinks brought over) for drinks then it makes sense to get your own but in a small UK pub you can see why people do rounds in tiny bar areas rather than all going up to the bar around the same time buying for and paying then individual drinks.
Really dumb I wouldn't do it in the first place. I don't care what anyone thinks of me. Rude or not rude
U wot, mait?
@Dust in your eye I an not entirely stupid, I do realise you can opt out, however there is often peer pressure to be part of the round.
Just watched this vid and feel the need to be very British and correct you on the "radiators are better" thing. Firstly, what you described in your new build was not a radiator. It's what we call a night storage heater and is absolutely not efficient. They work by heating thermal bricks overnight when electricity is cheaper and then releasing the heat when required. What you described from Canada sounds to me like what we used to call ducted warm air. A central boiler heats air (presumably in some kind of heat exchanger; I'm not too familiar with the systems) and that warm air is gently wafted out of vents around the house. We flirted with the system for a while, but I haven't seen it in any houses built since the 60s or 70s. I guess it makes some sense if you can blast cool air through it in the summer, so maybe that's why it's used in Canada?
Anyway, radiators are filled with water which is heated directly by a central boiler and then pumped around the house. It's a much more direct and efficient heating mechanism than ducted warm air or night storage heaters. So that's my British piece. Radiators are better.
I would agree that water filled radiators are one of the most efficient forms of central heating, perhaps underfloor heating beats it. Storage heaters were only used as a way of using electricity at night because coal fired power stations could not be powered down. They are still useful in smaller dwellings that are not connected to mains gas. they are only practical because of the Economy 7 tariff. Warm air central heating was impractical and expensive.. My parents house was built in 1970 with warm air heating. They replaced it with radiators because it was very expensive to run. I assume that in Canada energy is cheaper then in the UK so inefficient heating systems are acceptable
I think radiators and heating were a bad example of us being "stuck in our ways" to be honest. We like our traditions, we don't generally like fancy for the sake of being fancy and we aren't easily enticed by shiny things unless they serve a good practical purpose. To say that we don't welcome new technology is massively wrong though.
The UK has always been right at the forefront of adopting and innovating new technology. We're a world leader in renewable energy and our building regulations change often to make new build houses more energy efficient. Modern boilers are efficient, radiators are just fine and our central heating systems last decades with minimal maintenance. Crank up the heating in a modern house in winter and you'll soon be opening the windows to cool it down. There are plenty of people out there experimenting with new alternative heating systems but the reality is the thermal efficiency of your house makes much more of a difference than the heating system you use.
It isn't worth having air conditioning for the one week a year where it's too hot inside, it just gives us a welcome opportunity to complain about the weather for a bit.
I know plenty of grandparents who were kids during World War 2 but use the internet and walk around with smartphones so to imply that we're stuck in our ways and don't like adopting new technology just isn't true.
Probably a rental property avoiding any use of gas - saves on all the lawfully required expensive yearly checks for landlords - just have electric heaters, electric water boiler, electric oven and hob. Most modern houses have super efficient combi boilers that provide hot water for heating and washing, and a gas hob (but electric oven?!? - don't know why the electric oven).
Forced air heating tends to create ultra-dry air which turns human occupants into dried prunes, needs frequent filter changes to avoid circulating allergens, and gives you a lovely taste/smell of burnt house dust (dried human skin) when heat is called for on the first cold day of Autumn. If you live in a climate that requires cooling in summer and heating in winter, forced air is about the only option unless you're willing to pay for two independent systems in one house.
@@gracenotes5379 I must agree with this. I am a Brit living in Canada. It does blow up dust, drys your skin and had sinus for the first 5months of moving here. The only thing they are good for is AC. Radiators are the best!

If you have bricks inside your “radiators”, then you don’t have radiators. You have storage heaters. And they are the worst type of heating possible. I’m amazed they’re in a new build. I thought they stopped installing those things in the 1970s. I had them in a flat I used to live in. They were hopeless. House was roasting during the day and freezing any time after 4 o’clock in the afternoon.
My grandma was in her 70s in the 70s and she knew how to work them in her council flat. And while we're on the subject, she made her tea with sterra*. Bloody awful an' all !
(*Sterilised Milk)
The latest ones are so different.
I have storage heaters in my new build. I'm electric only and no gas, so radiators would be pointless !
grahamlive Ageeed storage heaters are absolute pants. I think they’re only fitted now (or some half assed fan heater version) where the contractor is either trying to cut outlay costs or there’s no gas pipe installation (which costs a lot if you have to pay to be connected from what I remember)
It's probably because of all these climate activists.
“They’re at Wetherspoons.” There’s your mistake, right there.... ;)

In fairness, doesn't every country think that their way is the right way?
it is one thing to say, it is the right way for me, maybe not for others. or jokingly, it is the only way. but it's never a good idea to impose our ideas on other people.
In my opinion, Canada is built with so many cultures, languages, ethnicities, religions, etc, that people tend to accept that others do things different, even if they are Canadian. Just my two cents!
I gotta say, I do find the self righteousness of my countrymen quite annoying. Yeah, you do stuff the English way when you're in England, but its shit like "Its called the English language, we invented it". Bruh, you don't invent languages, it doesn't work like that. If you're in Canada, use the Candian words, if you're in England, use the English words. Its really not hard.

@Tony Marshall Hahahaha. Neither. My grandparents were the really friendly type who'd lived here all their lives (except for a period after retirement), so they got to know a lot of people. That led to my parents being well known and then myself, even if I have no idea who these people are. It is far less frequent these days, as obviously some folks have passed on, but in my childhood I couldn't walk down a street without someone saying hello.
I find most Canadians are very polite similar to the British. I have a furnace in the basement with forced air though ducting and comes up through the floors. While convenient it causes air to be dry and dusty which is not good for your lungs. Radiators are a better choice

Radiators don't have bricks in them, I don't know what you have in your house but it isn't a radiator. They are heated by hot water being pumped through them. The only tip you need is to stock Yorkshire tea, sugar and milk in your house and you're golden.
You haven't got radiators then , you have storage heaters 😂 they did do houses with what was called warm air heating in the 70s in UK but it proved really expensive plus we don't have basements to have vents in the floors , the vents were in the walls hence taking up more space in the wall space with all the metal ducting .
