You are absolutely right that it’s a London thing not talking to strangers. Outside London, people are very friendly. I live in a village where everyone, EVERYONE, says hello or a greeting in passing, even though they don’t know each other. And in this area, people in cafes talk sometimes talk to the next table and so on.
Brits do do the sarcastic “you’re welcome” when someone hasn’t said thank you better than anyone else it’s true lol. Usually with a slightly higher volume too, while still not shouting
Im British and Ive never done it in my life because Im not really a fan of sarcasm. In general, I dont think it improves things. It makes a bad situation even worse. And I dont believe in the idea of Letting Off Steam, which is the explanation a lot of people give for being sarcastic. The point is: you always get exceptions in every country, and Im one of those people in England as far as sarcasm is concerned. But it doesnt mean that I dont understand sarcasm. A lot of the time people think that because I never made sarcastic comments I must be really stupid because I dont understand sarcasm. Its interesting how they assume that, instead of considering the possibility that, yes, I do understand sarcasm, but I just choose not to use it. Bit of a long story!
@@ajs41 I'm sorry, but sarcasm is a reflex and not usually a conscious choice. If it were it would be unkind, It's the highest form if intelligence, but the lowest form of wit. It educates by attempting to avoid rudeness, as it's alternative is rather too honest for most. As for saying you understand it, yet don't use it. I question whether you actually understand it at all. I could have been sarcastic, but I instead took this approach. I hope you understand honesty more.
If you want to know what the chicken shops are for, check out the high street at 3am after the night clubs close (once we’re out of lockdown of course). It ain’t pretty.
I worked and lived in China for a couple of years and when I first arrived I held the door for a lady. Big mistake, a flood of people poured through, I thought I would never end..
It's good to hear other peoples take on us! When i worked in the Middle East, it was difficult to explain what 'ish' was or meant! Keep the faith Vanessa
Love how you always give perfect examples of whatever aspect of Brit culture you're looking at. You have clearly mastered the dry and sardonic British style of humour too (if that sounds patronising then I can only apologise - sorry...can I let you in the queue before me as a way of showing how sorry I am? Or perhaps you'd like a cup of tea? No? I have Jaffa Cakes and Tunnock's Tea Cakes? OK, I'll go and put the kettle on then). Much as England prides itself on being able to change its weather 3 or 4 times a day, if you'd like to experience all four seasons in an hour, come to Sunny (windy, wet, snowing - delete as applicable) Wales.
I suspect the 'bad food' thing is a hold-over from American experiences of war-time and post-war when rationing influenced food availability. 'Bad food' was certainly a feature in movies of the 50s and 60s so it dates from that era. It hasn't been true for a long time but stereotypes are hard to kill.
The food tends to be plain fare, anyway. HOWEVER the best dishes from a region, anywhere in the world, are those the peasantry ate. The rich got the tasty bits of food, contents that gave their own flavour. Leaving the tasteless or unappealing bits for the proles. Contents that you have to work at to make taste nice.
People still think we won’t shut up about the royal family and dress and talk all posh and won’t stop drinking tea when really that hasn’t been the case since 1787
British food was heavily rationed when GI's came over in WWII; they weren't impressed. After the war, the best home grown food in Great Britain was exported to pay off the war debt to US and Canada, leaving a whole generation to live off boiled potatoes and spam. Gradually the quality and variety of food improved, and when the last ($83m annual) payment of the war debt (with interest) was finally paid off in 2008, we never looked back.
Your'e Tuesday Vlogs are really cool, the expression's that you use are wonderful. They really brighten up Tuesdays. Quite correct about the Drinking and politeness, my pet hate is when you politely pull in to let someone get past in there car and they don't say thanks, normally give them a thumbs up to make my point.
The not talking to strangers is just in London. I used to live in London and I did speak to some people on the tube, although there had to be something to trigger the conversation, like a delay or something they were reading. The only problem I would say is that you have to be careful as some people think that doing so is not just being friendly, but coming into them, so don't be overly friendly and that it as though you're talking to a work colleague.
I just smashed your button because 'right' is the most underappreciated word used by we Brits. Its meaning can range from "I agree with you, what an angel you" are to, "Right, let's sort this outside".
New sub here (UK), loving the content. Your editing is spot on, very natural. The ‘comparison’ vlogs for me are great and need to see more ‘reaction’ vlogs
The phenomenon of rain falling out of perfectly blue sky is not one I hear about from elsewhere. I think we just get the edges of everybody else's weather. See, I'm talking about it again.
You nailed the 'passing someone by face'. Micky Flanagan does an expert piece of observational comedy on the perils of passing your neighbour in the street and having to talk to him. I mean, what do these people want?
I liked this and will watch you again. The one thing that stood out though is it's very London Centric. You should try a week in Newcastle after lockdown. London and Newcastle are polar opposites on most things. You rightly point out the many different dialects but Newcastle almost has its own language.
Not in a million years would I ever have pinned you down as Austrian. I was trying to figure out where you did come from, but anywhere in Europe never entered my head.
Love your videos. If you go into a pub in the South and start making conversation with people, they think you are wierd, or after something. If you go into a pub up here in the North of England and don't talk to people, everyone thinks you are wierd..... Vive la difference😁
Vanessa you are wonderful.Your English is brilliant and you seem to understand British humour. No one would guess you are Austrian. If I was hundreds of years younger I would invite you for supper.
Brilliant Vanessa and so spot on: A heatwave is indeed 2 days of sunshine; politeness is wonderfully at times shrouded in sarcasm and where the North is absolutely the friendly epicentre of the world! X
The bus thing is so true. I always get really pumped up to get ready to break the silence in various ways.... 'Scuse me please. Can I slip out? Do you mind? Or the classic, put your arm across them, ding the bell, then look at them in the face till they move.
bang on with the friendliness part , i come from the north and we are generally open and friendly , i lived in London for a bit and travelled on the tube everyday , man was it soooooo unfriendly
Vanessa, welcome to the UK, I'm not sure how long you have been here but welcome nonetheless ;-) We want people like you here and you look like you fit in with our way of life perfectly. My good lady and I have watched a few of your videos now and enjoyed them, so you have a new subscriber and a like for each video. Cheers, Daz n Peg, Leicester ;-)
Look vaguely in the direction of the door, smile, mebbes raise an eyebrow or two and we nervously, embarrassedly shuffle as far out of the way as possible, hoping not to make, too much, physical contact...lol
I'm sure our summer last year was on a Tuesday. You are right though Vanessa, us northerners are much friendlier. You and your partner should move up here. Im scottish but live in Newcastle and I love it.
@@vic5594 I have relatives in Stockton on Tees. When visiting, even perfect strangers make you feel like family. One problem though, language, we do have problems sometimes but always end up laughing.😄😄😄
Yeah I’m about the be that Northerner that says that people in the North of England will DEFINITELY strike up a conversation with you, whether you know them or not. It’s more of a big city thing to not talk to people, and the North tends to be more community orientated since theirs such a North/South wealth divide. Love your insights into Blighty!
As an island people weather is important. Mostly off the Atlantic, so look West 200+ days a year for what the weather will do later. In winter.....keep and eye on those East winds......in the summer if the wind comes up from the South? Run for the beach!!
I'm afraid manners have taken a back seat in society. The youngsters seem to think it's old fashioned. Why? If a gentleman tipped his hat to me it would make my day. Come on girls (It doesn't matter how old you are) let's try and bring manners and civility back, it doesn't cost anything.
Hi, your opinions appear to be based on where you currently live - in a cosmopolitan area of our Country. Out of the Capital city there is a wealth of more altogether UK traditional culture. You should try it - it is really the true UK - especially up north..
You’ve nailed British life my friend absolutely spot on. Especially the strangers bit, up here in Yorkshire it’s pretty common to say ‘morning’ or just a simple ‘hello’ to a passerby, but pretty sure that’s an arrestable offence in London 😂
The further north you go, people tend to talk more to strangers. I was sitting on the bus, going to the hospital and some random man started telling me his life story.
The part that gets me is that other countries have so much better heath care then us. It's sad here in the USA it's to the point you don't even wanna go to the doctors anymore in fear of the outrageous bill
Errr......there is a similar variety of food everywhere in the UK. London may seem the centre of the world for Londoners but actually there is a life outside but very much cheaper. I guess that with Tier 4 rules you haven't got out yet. People in England talk to strangers in the south all the time, it's just that we need a long queue to get us started. Older people have verbal diarrhea. But we do say "upsa-dayzee" just like Notting Hill.
you're right about the people in the south being unfriendly to strangers, but i moved from Wales to Brighton. if you're a dog walker in Brighton, you can talk to strangers all day long, if you want. i love the place
The cost of living in London is quite extreme compared with places such as the south west (Devon/Cornwall) As are the people. I commend you for living in London.
I lived in London during a few book and film releases of Harry Potter and I can assure you, they were obsessed. That was almost twenty years ago. There's a new generation and new obsessions.
I think that 15 degrees C is too cold to go outside without serious winter clothing. On the other end of the scale, I went outside once when it was 44C. That was a bit too hot. 40 is OK if it's dry heat.
I’m from the north and everything said is so true. When out walking the dog in the morning, other dog walkers say good morning. When in London, you can’t even make eye contact for risk of repercussion. We’re a strange nation 🏴
Living in London gives people a totally different perception of the country than in just about anywhere else. This can be said of the other cities too. 15oC is officially t-shirt weather 🤣 If you are truly British and not a Socialist, you are a Royalist. 56% to 44%. Very similar to the perception of the E.U between London and the rest of the country. I intensely disliked living in London for the coldness of people, but I believe personal security explains this. Right-t-o 😉 Love the way you say Bugger Off!
There is a significant contingent amongst the British public who would want to see the monarchy abolished. They are not all socialists per se but it is obviously a more commonly left wing position. I think the majority of Brits are apathetic towards the Royal Family. Idealistically, they would prefer there wasn't one but because there is one they have just come to terms with it. Its the infatuation with their daily lives and lending them a celebrity status which is what I think Vanessa was referring to. For me, the Royals bring a certain political stability and provide a figurehead for our standing in the world but I'd be lying if I said that they play a major role in my day to day life.
@@ayeready6050 Yes and 100% of me is a devout Royalist. I can sound like Jon Snow all day if you like, cos sssshhhhe's Muh Queen! Socialists/Progressives are only separated by personal wealth usually. I would agree on the apathy, but that's due to false propaganda and ignorance also. It's infuriating to hear people talk on on on about all the castles and all the jewels and riches, until they suddenly go quiet when you say.... They are all yours you know! Uhhhhh Most people haven't got a clue what belongs to The Crown (i.e the people) and what is th personal wealth of the Windsor.... oh go on then the Saxe-Coburgs. If German Shepherds got their name back, Bert Trautmann won a cup final with Manchester City and Vanessa can be a shining example of European and Worldly is all about, then why do our family still have that silly pretend name? Add that they pay a high rate of tax, whilst bringing millions in tourism to London and we have about covered it here. Oh and a top tip. The Crown on Netflix has reached the 1980's and has sadly chosen 'drama' over historical fact from here on in. That's a real shame. God Save the Queen 💖
Our obsession with the weather ? Well, we live on an island in a shallow sea, off the coast of a large continental mass. There's a warm current flowing along the windward coast, and the northern end of the island is only 600 miles from the Arctic circle. Changeable weather should not be a surprise. 😀
I've seen hundreds of these videos from people who move to the UK. But you got it spot on!!! 👍👍

Today it was snowing on the opposite side of my street , while it was bright, sunny and a positively balmy 2 degrees on my side of the street
My son rings me most days, he always asks about the weather. He lives about four miles away. You'd be surprised at how often it is different.

Socialists/Progressives are only separated by personal wealth usually. I would agree on the apathy, but that's due to false propaganda and ignorance also. It's infuriating to hear people talk on on on about all the castles and all the jewels and riches, until they suddenly go quiet when you say.... They are all yours you know! Uhhhhh Most people haven't got a clue what belongs to The Crown (i.e the people) and what is th personal wealth of the Windsor.... oh go on then the Saxe-Coburgs. If German Shepherds got their name back, Bert Trautmann won a cup final with Manchester City and Vanessa can be a shining example of European and Worldly is all about, then why do our family still have that silly pretend name? Add that they pay a high rate of tax, whilst bringing millions in tourism to London and we have about covered it here. Oh and a top tip. The Crown on Netflix has reached the 1980's and has sadly chosen 'drama' over historical fact from here on in. That's a real shame. God Save the Queen 💖
Just smashed that Subscribe button. Thanks, I just broke my phone. 🤬
You are so likable, had to subscribe.
You should try living outside of London. Smaller towns are often friendlier ( not a rule though)
Our obsession with the weather ? Well, we live on an island in a shallow sea, off the coast of a large continental mass. There's a warm current flowing along the windward coast, and the northern end of the island is only 600 miles from the Arctic circle. Changeable weather should not be a surprise. 😀
