As an American there are many things about British culture that I do not understand. Today I am very interested in learning about all of the strange things that Brits do that are considered unusual behavior to us Americans.

Him not understanding the argument under the pantomime post had me dying 🤣
Truely a British in joke that one.
Oh no it isn’t….😂
Oh yes it is..
I actually laughed at how literal it was to call it a mime… different thing but that’s the whole point in the video!
I nearly choked on my sarnie with that one 😂
@@louisepeel7398 He's behind you!
I think you çould say that the thing flying a few miles above his head was a joke.
In the UK it would be:
'Why are you using a dryer, can you not afford a garden?'.
and clothes outside smell so much nicer
There are regions of the U.S where it's so cold that drying your clothes outside is impossible.
@@BradleyDavid1962But they do the same in the hot parts too 😂
@@BradleyDavid1962 If it's above freezing then clothes can dry outside. We do it all the time in the UK.
@@Shoomer1988- I believe what you consider freezing in the UK is far different than freezing in Minnesota USA where it's frozen all winter long.
OMG TYLER! Drying clothes outside is the best! To see the washing blowing gently in the summer breeze is lovely. When you bring the washing in, it smells so fresh and clean and getting into bed with clean sheets dried outside is a feeling like no other. I've even sold my dryer recently as I hardly ever used it. As for the washing machine in the kitchen, most people don't have laundry/utility rooms here in the UK.
Baked beans on thickly buttered toast - yum!
I dont think Americans can really appreciate how tiny our houses are, we simply don’t have the space to have rooms for washing machines etc . We have the smallest houses in Europe .
Agree with you about the washing and don't see the need to pay for electricity to dry it, but maybe we have better of the kind of breezes to dry things, for free and conserves the electricity and I love beans on toast.
In South Africa most middleclass homes have a clothes dryer but they're usually only used when the weather is bad. We have lots of sun and use an outside wash lines to dry our clothes same as the UK. Sunshine here though, although giving a nice fresh smell and good for killing germs too, is liable to bleach laundry so we have to either dry in the cooler psrts of the day or turn clothes indide out. A dryer is a luxury to run as they consume huge amounts of power
I hang my washing on the clothes line in my garden and I also have a dryer in my home in the spring and summer washing on the line autumn and winter washing in the dryer because our weather we can get all the season in one day 😂 😂
I was walking the dog the other day and someone was putting their dryer on pavement with a sign 'Working but we never use it free to whoever wants to take it.'
We tend to "peg out" the laundry for a couple of reasons, the wind and sun tend to make it very dry very fast, the smells smell fresher and it's much cheaper considering the cost of electricity. The washing machine typically goes in the kitchen near the sink because that's where the water pipes are, although some newer houses may have a specific utility room, but it's a fashion thing
'Pegging out' also means 'snuffing it' or, as an might American say 'passing away'.
Until some gitwizard down the road decides that today would be a perfect day for a fire.
I am a Brit and I have lived in Australia, Malayaia, Singapore, Gibralter and now Greece and the locals always dry their clothes outside when it is warm and dry. So not just a Brit thing.
The original question referred to things that Brits do that Americans think strange but didn't say ONLY Brits which has been added to the RUclips title. The responses are to the original question. Pantomime is, I think, uniquely British but most of the other things are probably common elsewhere.
Came here looking for this answer. Ta!
@@wayneblackburn9645you’re right. I’ve always hated panto though, but always got dragged along as a kid
Best sleep ever is on sheets dried out in the fresh air
Soooo true and they smell lovely
i can't do that. got seasonal allergies. so for me everything goes in the dryer
not in the city. Smells like wet dog, pollution stinks
Or on lavender bushes!
@@lauriegoudge4260Me too.
Drying clothes on a line? Free! No electricity used.
Exactly! And the clothes smell so fresh afterwards!😄
"Americans would not even think of this" - using the sun to dry your clothes - free. Using a dryer - one of the most expensive electrical things to use. Its nothing to do with snobbery, its just stupid to use electricity when teh sun is free!
America is against Socialism - the Sun is Socialist (free) - must use Electric to GE can make more money and pay zero tax
We are quite advanced in the UK we have been using Solar and Wind power to dry our clothes for centuries 😊😊
Although I do resort to indoor air drying in wet weather or colder months when, even in the sun, everything is still as wet in the evening as it was in the morning! Best thing I got was a heated airer. It does electricity, but way less than a drier, or using radiators.
@@davidwebley6186same here in México despite we have washing clothes and dryiers we prefer hanging the clothes is free because the wind and sun do the work!!
I miss hanging clothes out to dry. But my son and daughter have severe allergies so can't anymore. I do use the dryer for bedding and towels. But the rest I hang on radiators and clothes airers. Some clothes shrink in the dryer anyway.
Yes, we walk, to the shop and back, something that is impossible to do in the US - because we have shops that are always a stones throw away from where we live and not a 20-30 minute drive.
I live in a typical British Suburb, 10 minutes WALK in any direction and you can find, 5 pizza places, 5 barbers, 2 accountants, 3 churches, 5 "other" takeaway, 2 cafe's, 1 restaurant, a McDonalds, 1 gym, 3 public houses, a carpet shop, 3 beauty salons, a doctors surgery, 3 pharmacies, 2 dentists, 3 post offices, 1 funeral director, 5 mini markets, 1 garden centre and 1 supermarket. --
So yeah we walk more because, things are much more accessible.
What is surprising, is that Home Owners Associations in the US don’t allow washing to be hung out to dry, but they defend gun ownership.
In the UK it's illegal to walk round with a gun and to own one without a license, guns aren't freedom in the UK because it's a crime to possess them due to the harm they cause
Wow….
@@ajlowndes5242 You mean, 'due to the harm that their illegal or mis-use can cause'. Guns, by themselves, are quite happy to simply lie there and do nothing.
@@tacfoley4443 both reasons it's illegal, you need a licence for the gun and another for ammunition, over age 18 can buy them but can't walk in public with them, penalty is upto 5yrs imprisonment
@@ajlowndes5242 I live in the UK, and I've had a Section 1 FAC since 1968. Nobody can legally buy a live-firing firearm here without having an FAC giving details of the firearm, which also allows the holder to buy or make ammunition for the firearm.
Ideally in Britain we have a separate 'Utility Room' for laundry, but in many homes this just isn't possible, as there is no space for it, in the same way that we don't routinely have walk in closets in bedrooms. We can't have washing machines in the bathroom as there are no power outlets in there- and often the bathroom wouldn't have room for laundry stuff anyway.
Drying clothes outdoors leads to much a much 'fresher' smell without resorting to chemicals, and also the sunlight will fade residual staining, whereas a dryer will bake that in. But also- electricity is expensive- why use it un-necessarily? Plus there are environmental reasons for using less electricity. It shocks me how many Americans seem to think that convenience trumps consideration of the state of the world around them.
Drying the laundry outdoors makes a lot of sense in many ways
- It doesn't draw any electricity
- The fabrics lasts a lot longer
- Clothes and sheets smell so good after being air dried.
- Less wrinkels, you may not need to use the iron.
- I don't know how it works, but the sunshine acts as a mild bleach, so white stuff ends up whiter, while dark clothes aren't affected.
One thing I would disagree about is less wrinkles
@@susansmiles2242
Not on a windy day. Gives them a proper shake to get the folds and wrinkles out. 🙂
Weather becomes a factor in deciding when to do your wash.
@@andypandy9013agree … on a breezy day the wind blows the creases out …. Better on a dry day than on a sunny day too …. and it smells so good, no smelly fabric ‘perfumes’ required
Ultraviolet rays from the sum also has some sterilisation properties it might be why it smells fresher
Drying your clothes outside is just lovely. The clothes are softer and smell lovely. Your clothes last longer and is much better for the environment. We do it here in Australia as well and many, many other countries.
We also don't need a credit card to go to the hospital and I know this is the same in a lot of other countries .
Most countries don't feel the need to own guns. Only some farmers would own a gun or people engaging in sports like target shooting. The guns usually can't be taken home. I think we have more freedom because we don't live with the fear of gun violence
Drying your laundry outside, is done all over Europe, using a dryer is the exception, even having one. Hanging your wash outside/inside to dry, saves a lot of money and is better for the fabric.
Less prone to catching fire, no static build up, gives the cat something to go to a neighbours' gardens to steal.
wash-ING.
Americans don't say "Alright" but they "What's up" - same thing.
What's weird about drying clothes outside? I think it's weird that Americans think it's weird!
Especially when lots of it is quite hot...and would dry in no time.
I thought Americans said "Howdy Doody Pardner".
From 5 years in NC, I would say "Hey, how ya doin'" is the equivalent. It's not a question, just like "Alright".
Tyler does not know much about his home country, We do dry clothes outside in the Summer.
@@neuralwarp Howdy Doody was a marionette, it's just "Howdy", short for "how do you do?" by way of "how d'yer do?"
You're aware that laundry dryers use more power than an electric oven, right? The only reason why Brits would ever use a dryer is because it's raining outside, and even then, some of us will use an indoor clothes hanger to dry clothes inside the house if we don't have the space for a dryer. What I find crazy is that in the states you have much better weather than us, but still use a laundry dryer when it can be 100 degrees Fahrenheit outside and you can let mother nature dry your clothes for the low-low price of free!
I used to dry all my washing indoors until the ensuing dampness made the wallpaper fall off.
Not drying clothes outside on a fine day is the weird thing (unless you don't have that option of course) it's free and fresher than using a drier, why would you choose to pay for something that is completely free. Our drier is reserved for non fine days, of which being a Northerner there are many,
I used to line dry until 1 day my knickers visited a neighbour and I was mortified when they gave them back...
Here in México we hang our clothes outside, is nothing to do if you are rich or poor is a better way and is free because the wind and sun do the work!!! The best to our British brothers ❤🎉
You have to ventilate if drying inside, 2 pints condensation per load ❤
Beans on toast is amazing . But in America. Your bread is sweet , you don't butter your bread and your beans don't taste the same even though you use the heinz brand . Yet again its the sugar
Not even sugar, it's usually corn syrup.
Don't butter their bread ????
@@angelahenry1511 no they don't butter toast or sandwiches
@@da90sReAlvlocThats fucked up 😨
@@angelahenry1511they are not normal like us Brit's Angela. We don't use sweet bread to toast and put butter on before baked beans go on. Don't forget the grated cheese melted on top. We don't eat jelly on a sandwich, disgusting putting peanut butter on jam sandwich. We have doors on our washing machines at the front. Gawd forbid, this guy is stupid. We DON'T have laundry rooms, our houses are'nt as big as their's. He has so much to learn. We DON'T have a basement, and a car goes in a garage, not a washing machine. Where do they think we live, Buckingham Palace? He's giving me serious trauma. Course we hanging our clothes outside, not the middle ages. We don't have ideas above our station like Anericans. I have a dryer but never use it. And we are NOT poor, the sarcastic, snobby Yanks.
Drying costs money, driving costs money, healthcare costs money, see how you are being conditioned or enslaved? Corporations have done such a number on the US.
Can I just say, as a Brit, I love how you tackle these videos. You don’t sit there and judge, you take on the information and process it and even go as far as to debate with yourself whether it’s a better way of doing things. It’s such a lovely open minded way of reacting to the strange things we do that we consider everyday things 😂😂 I almost want to sit next to you and explain why we do these things so you can have the British reasoning behind it 😅
Im a 78year old Brit and I walk at least 40 minutes a day but sometimes up to 3hours! You should all try it!!
Americans drive to the gym and use a treadmill!
@@Phiyedough- Plus get electrically transported to the treadmill. We exert as little of energy as possible so we don't emit large amounts of carbon dioxide...Think Green !
Well done! My great aunt Nell is 93 next week (April Fool's Day) and has a German Shepherd bitch, of roughly 6 years of age, so nice and strong and fit as a fiddle. Aunty has a small holding that she works away on all day - hens, ducks, goats and a cranky old donkey. She's up early each day to milk her 3 nanny goats, feed the poultry and collect the eggs. Only after those chores does she walk the dog and I really mean walk the dog. She gets on her stout brogues and she's off for about an hour. She does that twice a day and remains mainly on her own land. We recently gave her a wee device to show the miles she covers whilst out all day on her smallholding and also how far she goes with her dog. We were all staggered - Aunty does on average, 2 miles each dog walk and pottering about the gardens, the house, the dog walk and seeing to the animals, the grand total of 7.5 miles! Amazing for an elderly lady. Both you and aunty Nell could show these American's a thing or too when it comes to clocking up the miles! I wish you many, many more happy, healthy and stress free walks. God Bless.
Why waste my time walking nowhere, when I can go somewhere.
I went to see my brother and family who has moved to the USA. I went for a walk and quite a few people stopped in their cars and asked if my car had broken down
Your statement about how the right to bear arms is symbolically a "if they take that right away, what is next?" belies the fact that groups have become so fixated on it that you seem to ignore the fact that many of your rights *HAVE* been removed. But hey, you can still have an assault rifle, so who cares about a woman's right to decide what happens to her own body, being able to get decent healthcare without going into life-long poverty, being able to express your religious faith . . .
I amused by American's claim to be "The Land of The Free" after watching the way their police abuses their rights, because they have "qualified immunity". US police can also just seize any money they find you are carrying, without giving any reason. Knowing that it will cost you more money to try to get it back through the courts. Then there are so many people living in totally controlled HOA properties.
Also, drying clothes outside - people all over the world do this. Fresh air, no energy use . . . It's simple common sense.
Walking - keeps you fit. I'm in my mid-60's now, and I'll still grab a camera and some lenses to head out for a 15 or 20 mile walk on a nice day.
@@sameebah But why would you want to have an incredibly expensive camera (even the cheapest are expensive) and even more expensive lenses, when you can use your own eyes.
@@sameebahClothes dried outside smell so lovely too! Agree 100% about their issues regarding the right to have guns.
@@vtbn53 Why would *ANYONE* use a camera? So that they can share some of the visual experience with other people? That's been happening well before cameras were invented.

Beans on Toast can be eaten for Breakfast, elevenses, brunch, Dinner, Mid afternoon snack, Tea, Supper, and/or Midnight snack.
The thing is, most British people don’t have a laundry room, or a garage, or a basement. So unless you live in a house worth at least 3 mil, you’re gonna have to put the washing machine in the kitchen
Drying clothes outside on the line is environmentally friendly using both solar and wind.
👍👍👍
I think Al Murray had the best description for the US I've ever heard. He described it as "A good idea that's gotten way out of hand".
😂😂😂
he definitely didnt say 'that's gotten'.
Pantomimes... Men in dresses, women dressed as a boys, fairy godmothers, giants and everything in between, lots of thigh slapping and loads of innuendo!! Over participation by all the audience in what's going on! Can be performed by your local village drama club or popular celebraties in big budget shows!!! 🎭🤣
in the spirit of the subject oh no it isn't, oh yes it is.
That wouldn't go down very well in the Bible belt!
He's behind you!
This one never understood why they don’t know about pantomimes as they know of one of oldest ones ie- “ Peter Pan “ and I can recall an old movie called “ mother goose “ that was literally pantomime on film to mention a few that have crossed the pond
Imagine how MAGA would deal with a British pantomime. They would have kittens.
Love how he spends about a minute unwittingly going through the old “oooh yes it is” - “oh no it isn’t “ routine we have at Christmas theatre plays such as Jack and the beanstalk that he should have googled lol.
We have washing machines in the kitchen because our houses are small & we don’t have laundry rooms.
There is nothing better smelling than washing dried on a line outside, you cannot get that gorgeous fragrance from any chemical. Whilst I always do my towels in a dryer as they get lovely and fluffy , if i can line dry i always will.
There's also nothing remotely dirty about having a washing machine in the kitchen, we dont drop our clothes on the floor or dirty surfaces.
I'd love to fibd a good video on pantomimes for you, they're truly iconic and amazing fun for children and adults alike
Totally agree. Dryers are really expensive to run. If you have a garden, hang out the washing.
Americans are terrified of the outdoors.
I came here to say the same thing. I was ridiculously happy last week when I could get a load of washing on the line to dry! 😂 The first this year. You cannot replicate the smell of clothes dried on a line with a warm breeze. Heavenly
If you need to wash everyday there might be a problem in winter or during bad weather times. But if you can wait a bit there will be good enough weather (if you don't live in Alaska in winter). But I don't think dryers are the standard equipment for people in Siberia and they can dry their clothes.
@@karengray662 heavenly is a very apt description of the smell 💖
Tumble cryers are expensive to run, and our houses are smaller, we dont usually have basements or garages, so our washing machine has to go in the kitchen. We generally dont have electricity sockets in bathrooms.. i love drying my washing in the sun and wind, it all smells so good when i bring it in...
Sunlight gets tomato stains out too
Yes the clothes smell good and is free the sun and wind do the work!!!!
I was told many years ago that the sun kills any bacteria that may be lingering in the clothes after washing. Now they want you to buy Dettol Antibacterial Sanitiser at £4.
No generally about it, if you have a socket in your bathroom, it is against the regulations.
@briwire138 there are new regs in new builds, it's changing
Your freedoms cost over 40,000 lives last year nearly the same amount that was killed in the whole of the Vietnam war ware as in the UK firearms deaths were 28 how free are all those victims and families😢😢😢
I don't know how you survive with the useless police that don't even have guns. With all those Islamic immigrants and all.
@@CanaryCaiaI mean, obviously you consume propaganda from lying media.
Gun deaths in the US are 340% higher than in the U.K. per capita. We don’t need the everyday police to have guns. Maybe look at your police who do have guns yet mass shootings still happen regularly. Kids at our schools don’t have to practice nor prepare for active shooters.
Yes saddly true about US, and worst they normilize that to the point they teach students how act during a shooting 😮
@@CanaryCaiaAre you a trans bot from orc land .
Drying clothes outside on a clothes line is very common in Australia too. The sun is hot and free. Electricity is expensive and getting more expensive every year, so why not use the sun? It costs nothing. Makes sense to me! Most Australian homes have a seperate laundry room. Not sure about flats or apartments, they may be too small for that. USA "jelly" is known as "jam" in the UK, Australia, New Zealand and probably a number of other countries (Ireland?). US " jello" is in those countries known as "jelly". I think you can see the potential confusion here!!
I'm amazed that anyone would think drying washing outside wasn't the best! It's the healthiest and freshest way to dry sheets and clothes 😣
If clothes-lines were advertised as 'Solar and wind powered laundry dryers , some people would be less snobbish about them.
I love that he doesn’t get the Pantomime responses of “Oh no it isn’t!”, “Oh yes it is!” in the comment response is a joke from Pantomime’s themselves and not an argument going on between the people commenting lol 😂
For confused people pantomime is a type of play
He’s behind you
"I think of the kitchen as being dirty." Remind me never to eat at your house. 😅
Only reason could be that washing detergents are not near food and can be mistaken. And you shouldn't make pasta sauce when putting the cloths out of the machine 🙂
lol! Yup, of all the laundry rooms and kitchens that I've seen, the kitchens are usually MUCH cleaner!
I know. Once a European pointed the weird washing machine placements to me (obvs coz of the size of our houses and where our plumbing comes in and out) and lived in a house where it was in the large bathroom, I was more disgusted by the fact people are carrying dirty undies and sheets etc., into the place where we cook and eat....
We wash our veg and fruit and if you have a large kitchen you can turn part of it into the utility room and most of our white goods are integral. And if you have to bring the washing into the kitchen it’s always brought in inside a washing basket well apart from males as they do what is easiest for them.
Would hate to have a washing machine in the bathroom, usually the Germans do that
Canadian here: When I was young the washer/dryer was in the kitchen. It was a new house and it was like that for all the houses neighborhood. It think it's pratical, all the chores at the same place :)
I think it’s also the way British housing has evolved when you think how small our houses are and how many of us live on this small Island. It’s not that long ago, that bathrooms and kitchens were built onto houses instead of having a privy in the yard and having the washing done in the back yard. You would have wash day where everyone up the street would wash and dry the clothes on the same day. We also have clothes airers for inside the house. Even as late as the 1980s our neighbour was scandalised when my Mum would put her washing out on the wrong day. We have ‘good drying days’ I love our tumble dryer but still hang our clothes out ‘on a good day’ my Mum is very middle class so refuses to have a tumble drier and insists on having a very small T.V. Screen but that’s a whole other thing.
British homes are much smaller than American's. Most of us don't have utility rooms, or basements etc
so we place the washing machine/Dryers close to the kitchen sink, where plumbers connect the machine to the water pipe.
The dutch often have their wash machine in the attic.
@@marievandoorn73 REALLY! What happens if the washer leaks 😵💫
@@CarolLeslie-x5n u clean it up lol
Washing clothes and cooking facilities being in the same area from a hygiene view: Typically a basket of laundry will be placed on the floor, then loaded into the washing machine. Heavily soiled articles might have been soaked in the bathroom first. ( I can remember my parents soaking towelling nappies this way, in a solution called Napisan, and washing them separately to other clothes.) When the clean laundry is removed from the washer - there is no need to put the basket on a worktop - so there is no danger of food falling in. Also, we don't use the floor to prepare food - so this also reduces the chance of it getting near dirty laundry!
The British murmered "sorry" is not an apology. It's an acknowledgment of the other person. The opposite of ignoring other people's right to exist and occupy space. A social lubricant. This is something both natives and foreigners fail to underestand and it's a civilised custom.
Yup! One day my mum collected 5 "Sorry"s before she left Wilko 😆
Linda from the UK here. We don't have washing machines in the bathroom because of the regulations around the use of electrical appliances near water. Not a safe mix! Hope this clarifies things. PS. I do use a dryer though!
But you have washing machines in kitchens? As well as kettles, toasters, stoves, etc.
@@girlfromoz712 true, but although it's not illegal to have washing machines in bathrooms here, there are building regulations involved. Most bathrooms in the UK aren't that big, so to have a washing machine too near a bath or shower would not be safe. Also, we don't have outlet sockets in bathrooms, so we can't use hairdryers in there. Loads more info on this, but I do see and respect the point that you're making.
It's funny because we have trip switches that operate faster than a blink but we are still scared of sockets in the bathroom.
In the height of summer, especially in America, choosing to dry your clothes outside for likes of 30mins, and having them be completely dry in that time, over spending well over an hour in the dryer makes so much more sense.. and don’t get me started on how much it’s bad for the environment to use the dryer every time you wash your clothes!
It's a long way for a lot of their fat, sweaty, lard-ass glob buckets to walk to go ALL the way outside...far too much excercise...they could eat an extra bucket of KFC in that time. Plus, they pay a lot less for electricity...average around 17 cents (13p) per Kwh, compared to about 25-27p in the UK.

@@Altitudes it’s not a competition, the US is humungous compared to the land mass of UK so by definition any crime will be more prevalent in the US than in the UK. my point is that the UK killings by children of children by knife crime is at a level unheard of in the past. Times are rapidly changing in the UK, it used to be the safest place in the world to live and yet now our kids have been so indoctrinated into fear by the World Wide Web and video games and drugs gangs that they have come to believe that ‘real world violence’ is a threat in the UK when it has rarely been. Kids should be raised to be kids who go out and play and enjoy the innocence of youth not indoctrinated into being knife holders ready to stab anyone they don’t like.

Beans on toast is a staple of British culture, washer in the kitchen is because there is a cut out switch for the washer in the kitchen, drying clothes outside is because we agree that dried outside clothes normally stay fresh and we only hang out clothing outside when we have decent weather.
The reason most British homes have the washing machine in the kitchen is because pre WW 2, most of the toilets were outside and no indoor bathrooms ( tin bath by the fire) then the toilets came inside and were usually put in the coal sheds/ cupboard under the stairs in the kitchen in the older homes then new builds fromthe 70s onward had plumming upstairs so the bathrooms were up stairs . The plumming was still in the kitchen for washing clothes, so they just put the washing machine in the kitchen. Also, we dont put electric plug sockets in the bathroom because its dangerous to mix electric and water.
Bacon and baked beans, pork chop and baked beans, jacket potato and baked beans, baked beans on toast, sausage and baked beans. Beans, beans, good for the heart, the more you eat, the more you ....START to get the idea?
British baked beans - a good way of keeping food moist - are very different to US baked beans - with added sugar and bacon bits. If you had their BBs, you'd understand.
You forgot baked beans, cheese & jacket spuds lol
Gammon chips and beans , steak chips and beans , et al 😋
My favourite meal is sausage, baked potato with cheese and baked beans, cheap and delicious!
Washing machines are in the kitchen due to space.Plus all chores in the same room
20:00 How do we walk? We do it by using those bits of our bodies that are attached to our hips. They are called "Legs". You may have heard of them Tyler. 🤣🤣🤣

👍🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I have more legs than the average number 😮
We don't allow electrical appliances in the bathroom in UK apart from a razor socket rated at 110 volts . If you want to save money get rid of the dryer
Correct! The UK runs on big boy/grown up 240 volts on a ring main, bizarrely when I lived in Arizona, in our laundry room the tumble dryer ran on 230 volts - the only 230 volt socket in the house, and the washing machine was an upright one running on 120 volts. Most of the year - April through November we could air dry most things in less than half an hour!
Shaver sockets are normally 230V, not 110V. Mine has separate sockets for both voltages and my electric razor and electric toothbrush are rated at 230V. I have never used the 110V socket. My bathroom mirror also has a shaver socket, again rated at 230V.
Omg they smell so nice and when you iron the fresh clean smell is heaven. And it's free to dry
I have a tiny one for emergencies. Rarely use it.
@@terrymason8628our home in Illinois, US, built in 1967, was wired with 220 service. Anything less than that is considered outdated.

concerning 'alright' as a greeting. its the shortened version of a longer greeting. add the words "Are you£" so its "Are upi a;rrogjt?". In th US beans have a barbecus saucre. In the UK they have a tomato sauce. Think of a pizza. Bread covered in a tomato sauce, covered in cheese. Add grated cheese on top of your baked beans and you have a very simple and very cheap bristish version of a pizza.. You can make this for around 50 pence a meal for several days meals. think of it as a broke studentss meal in the USA. you can also make something like addeing chiicen or tomato soup to pasta. its poverty cooking.
Sorry doesn't really mean in an apologetic way. Its synonymous with excuse me.
Exactly.
It can also mean "Who do you think you're talking to?"
Sorry but it’s rather more than that.
Bumps into table…”sorry!”
@@AlBarzUK it can also be passive aggressive like you just used it
It also means “pardon me”.
I have clothes drying on the line right now. I don't even HAVE a dryer. The flat isn't big enough and anyway, dryers use a lot of electricity, which is expensive.
I live in a flat and, even though it has a garden, being on the ground floor, the lease explicitly prohibits the drying of any laundry outside or anywhere where it can be seen from outside. That's why I have to hang the washing to dry indoors or use the combined washer-dryer in my tiny kitchen.
Hanging out washing in the front garden (= US front yard) is seen as lowering the tone of the neighbourhood. If I had an area to do so, I would hang stuff outside to dry.
The " oh yes it is oh no it isn't" is shouted by the audience and actors back and forth at the pantomime, which is a quirky Christmas play, based on fairy tales. They are full of innuendo and cross dressing to amuse both the adults and children present. There is lots of stylised audience participation, eg shouting 'he's behind you".
Although Pantomime is associated with Christmas time, they are never Christmassy.🎄
He knows he's done panto before
Yes he has definitely heard about it before in another video, I have thought that several times before that things he acts shocked by he has seen in several other videos. (Also, he never reads any comments ever)
You're just wasting your time.
He never reads or learns.
I absolutely love it on a sunny day when I can hang my clothes outside on the line. Even in other countries, for example in Scandanavia, they hang their duvets outside every day, even if it's -18 degrees, because air drying in the sun kills so much bacteria and gives it natural freshness.
You really need to learn about the British Pantomime (more commonly known as the Panto). They're usually fairytale or folklore based (the traditional stories are like Aladdin, Sleeping Beauty, Puss in Boots, Dick Whittington etc, but Robin Hood and so on also happen). The Panto is very comic book with exaggerated characters (like 'The Dame'), features slapstick, songs (usually adapted contemporary music) and humor that splits itself between the stuff for the kids and stuff only the adults will get (usually quite suggestive stuff). The characters are usually made of stock characters like the 'Lead Boy (most often played by a girl, they would be someone like Aladdin or Jack from jack and the beanstalk), a comic book level, moustache twirling villain, an inept sidekick or two and the 'Dame' (usually played by an obviously male actor). It's quite an experience lol. A good panto is amazing.
Oh no it isn't! 🤣 soz couldn't resist
oh yes it is, ditto second part@@marioniopionio
I can imagine him sitting there all confused 😂😂😂
The great Ian McKellan (Gandalf) played the dame in Mother Goose last year.
Me too, seeing him sitting there all confused, shame Tyler doesn't read his comments!
A Pantomime is a play. On a stage. Where the actors will interact with the audience.
Oh no it isn't!
Oh yes it is
Trying to work out how you could "spill stuff" on clothes inside a kitchen washing machine. 🤔
I agree, bit of an an enigma that one. Does he live in the washer. And just how OLD is the if he's slipping food down himself, and infant.
I’m crying with laughter - ‘oh no I’m not’ 😂 so funny!!!!!
Apart from lights/electric showers we don't have electricity in our bathrooms so the kitchen is the area that has electricity and water source in one room. Many houses don't have garages or room to have it anywhere else.
As a postman, I walk an average of 14 miles a day.
Do you wear shorts in the depths of winter?
@@kelm03
My Postie, Ashley, does. Bless him. 👍
@@kelm03 I haven't worn shorts since 1978 and never will.
I asked once, walking that much generates heat apparently.@@kelm03
My postman does in Rickmansworth. All the postmen had a £1.00 bet as to who would wear shorts the longest (365 days a year). Last time I checked they were at over 9 years.
I find it strange that Americans have the dryer on whilst also having aircon on to cool their homes, all that lovely sunshine going to waste, and yes I also have a dryer but it only get used in winter mainly
try staying cool when it 110 outside during the Summer in the US
@@marydavis5234there is a thing called a fan or maybe a cold bath
@robinsonsarah143 😂😂😂 come to America in the summer and see if you can survive with a fan. That's only useful in the spring or autumn. Our weather is much more extreme than yours. From a Brit who lives in the US.
Outdoor drying is better for the environment, saves energy and better for clothed too. Boasting about not walking is totally bizarre
Walking everywhere in the U.S is not always feasible. We have counties here that are larger than the entire UK. When was the last time you walked 200 miles ?
@BradleyDavid1962 I have lived in L.A, New York State and North Carolina, and visited Florida. But noticed that people will not walk 10 minutes to a store.
@@BeckyPoleninja- Were fat, lazy, loud and arrogant, not to mention we believe were the center of the universe. I'm surprised being in so many States you didn't already know this. Well, now you know.
@@BradleyDavid1962 Walking as well as being a practical, efficient and almost free form of travel for short distances, is one of the best exercises for general health, and one of the few exercises/'sports' that can be done continually from earliest childhood until advanced old age. When cities and suburbs are well planned so as to be walkable, general health of the population is improved and pollution is reduced.
Of course no one expects a person to walk 200 miles to visit their Auntie Sue and Uncle Joe, or to commute to work or visit the shops, but many, many people in Europe will walk 100 - 200 miles as part of an enjoyable couple of weeks _holiday,_ so do not be so dismissive of walking!
@@Sine-gl9ly- Keep on Truckin' then, my point was the vast distances between all the different places in the U.S make it next to impossible to walk there. Especially so in the rural areas. We bike more than we walk, I hope that meets European criteria...
Pantomimes are a family fun time to start and end the Christmas season. Actors dress up and clown around retelling such stories such as Jack and the Beanstalk, encouraging the kiddiwinks to scream out when the villain comes on "BEHIND YOU"! Its unique to Britain.
As a British person I would like to apologise for apologising to much.
Re walking 20mins “why?”
Dunno, maybe because it’s good for you, maybe because using a car if we indeed have one for something literally down the road from us is wasteful, bad for the environment.
No wonder there’s such an obesity issue in the states and unfortunately we here in the uk are catching up.
Do Americans know what the word rhetorical means?
When a Brit greats someone with "Alright" It's said in an almost rhetorical way with the only one acceptable reply which is "Alright" back.
Just as many Americans don't seem to understand sarcasm, dark humour, leg pulling snd teasing your friends they also don't seem to understand when something is asked rhetorically.
Sad really
You bring your laundry into the kitchen in a big plastic tub, stick em in the washer, wash them, bring em out the washer into a plastic tub then dry them where you prefer , iron them where you prefer then 3 weeks later put them away...well thats how it goes in my house.
Three weeks? I hope you mean days!
😂😂😂
Same with me! 😂
Hey! I grew up doing pantomimes since I was 6. They're essentially plays that are produced to be interactive with the audience, often including a tale that's been altered in some way to be comedic. For example one year we did sleeping beauty, and there's typically a dame (a man who dresses up in a frock and wears makeup), the 'comedic duo', there's a main evil villain who sometimes has a sidekick, there's the protagonist who is more often than not the son/daughter of the dame, and then anyone else on the cast who supports the main roles. We often throw sweets out into the audience, squirt them with water guns, or will walk out to get them to take part in the show. It's also where the phrases 'he's behind you' and 'oh no he isn't!' come from if you ever hear them used jokingly
In England, our houses are small..we all dream of a room just for laundry..well I do anyway.
But houses for typical Brits are built in rows, connected to your neighbours (called terrace homes), and goes back to factory workers having homes built for them by the factory owners to attract workers to an area.
Tiny homes 😢 but we are a tiny island, so there's not much room. lol 😆
one thing i like about these videos is that i, as a brit, also learn about american culture from you
Where the washing machine is in the house is nothing to do with cleanliness. It's to do with space, water and electrical supply. If a washing machine is in the bathroom it has to be wired to a specially protected electrical outlet as water and electricity do not mix. As you've been told before, we dont have sockets for hairdryers etc or light switches in our bathrooms. We do have specially protected shaver sockets where you can charge your electric toothbrush as well.
The kitchen should be one of the cleanest rooms in the house lots of the newly built houses have laundry rooms we Brits are more environmentally friendly I have a clothes dryer will only use it in the winter I am 89 I walk at least 2-3 miles a day
Walking is one of the most popular pastimes in Britain. We have loads of walking clubs and walking for health groups. We have 150,000 miles of Public Footpaths so can easily enjoy our countryside. --- ( My American friend sent me a photo of her with her walking group).
In a car though you're more of a moving target and harder to shoot.
@@vallejomach6721😂🤣😂🇬🇧
I walk 45 minutes to work and 45 back because public transport and using a car costs too much money
I am Canadian, and I walk almost every evening. Many of my neighbours do, too. Walking saw a huge resurgence during the pandemic and hasn't really slowed down since then.
My mum used to have what we called the wash house. It was seperate from the kitchen,that is unusual now because British houses are very small compared with American houses, but my mums house was a terraced house which are quite small and joined together in rows. Drying washing outside is free ,use less energy and smell way better. I think there maybe houses today that have utility rooms these days for laundry,but I don't know for sure. My washer is in the kitchen and it's not a problem and I dry my clothes outside if the weather permits.
5:00 Pantomimes are like people dressed up as well known characters like Snow White and put on performances mainly in front of children like in theatres
We would definitely take some cash and maybe a debit card to the hospital, to pay for parking, a coffee or soft drink and a sandwich.
If having to go to A&E I would probably take a packed lunch, water and a sleeping bag. Waiting anywhere from 2 to 10 hours can be a thing.
Walking is good for physical and mental health. It also allows us to take in nature. Also drying clothes outside makes sense as we have space constraints and drying outside is better for the fabric of your clothes, uses less electricity so is better for the environment.
I have a relative in California and I was stunned to hear that they use aircon as it's often very warm but never hang their washing out. It seemed to be looked down on. Also, you can't gamble online in California which also seemed very backward.
What’s puzzling about beans on toast, is that it was started by the British branch of Heinz,who marketed “baked beans in tomato sauce” specifically for the British market. You never see these in American supermarkets unless in a British section.
Not surprising Americans are not aware of this. BTW it’s delicious with grilled cheese on top !
I have a dryer but dry my clothes outside as much as possible! For whites the sunshine brightens them so if ever you get a stain then dry outside once or twice and the stain will go! Sheets dry over the line then just need folding - they are so crisp and smell lovely! On a hot day a full load is dry in 30 - 40 mins and costs nothing ….unlike a tumble dryer!
Using a washing line when it's a nice day it more economical and environmentally friendly
plus it a knickers nicker's? paradise garden.
Walking is one of life's greatest pleasures.
It's a privilege. I miss my Snowden and now can't. I broke my back.
You should react to a video about pantomimes. They're not what you think!
Oh yes they are!
@@slytheringingerwitch Made me llaugh where Tyler assumed there was a argument in the comments about whether Pantomimes were a British thing, when it was just people engaging in 'Oh no it isn't' banter. To be fair, if you don't know, how could you tell?
@@carolineskipper6976 Totally true...
@@slytheringingerwitch
Oh no they're not! 🤣🤣🤣
@@andypandy9013 Oh yes they are!
Pantos are the best, especially at christmas. The dames are always hilarious 😂. Also I love how because he's never been to a pantomime he didn't get the "Oh no it isn't! Oh yes it is!" pun 💀
Im currently rehearsing for a pantomime and the fact he has no idea had me rolling on the floor laughing 😂😅
I walk 45-50 minutes just to get to work in the morning.
Why don't you buy a car? Tight wad!
I can easily walk 2 - 3 hours a day, but 2 hours in a car feels like hell, and more than 3 would kill me.
I mean.. I love a car road trip but only because it's a rarity. We mostly use our leggos or public transit and we do take the car it's usually not a long ride, so I think it's fun to go on vacay in the car.
Re laundry.
It's fairly unusual to have a cellar, especially one with plumbing; many houses - especially older ones - don't have an attached garage; obviously terraced houses, flats and maisonettes don't have attached garages. Houses in general have a very small footprint compared to most of the rest of the developed world. Clearly a washing machine needs to be close to plumbing - so that leaves us with bathroom, toilet or kitchen, or adjacent to them. You would hardly want the wm on the upstairs landing or in tbe dining room ...
Dryers are a space issue, too. They also take a harsh toll on clothing and are relatively expensive to run. People who own them often only use them occasionally, preferring to use wind and solar powered drying devices (ie washing lines of various types) whenever possible.
Washing machine in the kitchen because it's near a drainage connection and easier to expel the water without using twice the water supply, most British homes have their back door in the kitchen so it's closer to the garden to take your laundry out to dry from the kitchen, there is logic in it.
Washing machines evolved into kitchens because as well as house size constraints, the kitchen was already plumbed for water and wast removal. A lot of terraced houses had a 'wash house, directly outside of their kitchen door because some were the original outside toilet.
What's wrong with hanging your clothes to dry on a line in the summer considered strange by americans
And then you remember that they wash their eggs and it all makes 'sense'.
They use paper plates to save washing up so they dry their clothes in the dryer rather than Lind drying because of laziness and snobbery
it is considered Stranger for Tyler to hang clothes outside, he does not talk for all 340 million Americans
I had my washing machine in the garage for years and it was an absolute pain in the arse. I had it moved into the kitchen a few months ago, when I had the dishwasher taken out, and it's been amazing. So much easier!
Good to hear your perspective on this, as the house I'm moving into has an outdoor utility building and a dishwasher in the kitchen - interesting to see how I view it after a period of time😮
I’ve quite recently moved to a house with washing machine and dryer in the garage at the bottom of the garden. I’ve been here six months and it hasn’t been a problem.
Peanut butter on it's own, yes. Jam (Jelly in the US) on it's own, yes. But just the thought of combining them into one sandwich makes me feel 🤮
Tried it, surprisingly not that bad but not that good either
Jelly is different in the US, than what we know as jam. They have jam, too. Its like our Jelly [what they call jello] in the UK, but runnier and therefore spreadable.
@@juliaw151 you’re not really selling it to be honest
@@juliaw151they do not spread jell-o on bread, they spread jelly (jam).
@@stephaniehamilton6217 read my reply properly. They spread jelly, it's not jam, it's like our jelly in the UK, but spreadable. They have jam too, it's different to their jelly, but that's not what they're spreading on pb&j's.
A pantomime is a British comedy theatre production usually running around 80 performances around the Christmas holiday, for families, telling fairytale stories but with slapstick humour and song and dance.
There’s always a Dame (the OG drag queen), a principal boy (played by a girl) plus the usual goodies and baddies often played by minor celebrities from TV and old music stars. It’s very popular and goes back centuries.
There is a lot of audience participation and famous audience catchphrases such as “oh no, it isn’t - oh yes, it is - Oh no, it isn’t….!” And “he’s behind you!”
There are often adult performances of the same shows but with risqué humour and dirty innuendos!
When the people in his quotes are not arguing but pantomime quoting and he does not realize it. Audience participation in a pantomime includes calls of "He's behind you!" or "Look behind you!", and "Oh, yes it is!" and "Oh, no it isn't!" as some of the main ones.
I think nearly every country in the world dries clothes outside.
🌹🇬🇧🌹Agree but American think they are all the world
Thinking Math is a plural and Geography is irrelevant, knowing how to spell words and pronounce them correctly, (We gave you a language that you had to change as a matter of pride more than necessity because some guy took issue with some of the inconsistencies of British spelling), deciding whether to put decent food on the table for a family, opposed going out and buy another gun and more ammunition, (you say that you reject metric but adore a 9mm), the obsession with billboards, think that any game that stops every two or three minutes is exciting, We have a plethora of expressing our Irony and Sarcasm and Idioms, our News Channels actually give us world wide news

Clothes dried outside smell so much better than clothes dried in a tumble dryer
We do have dryers but mostly in laundrets, if its raining we dont use the clothing line "clothesline" i call it, we have an inside thing called a "clothes horse"
We have driers at home, along with washing machines. We also have a clothesline, never use it though.
