Your comment about the USA being the greatest place on earth has only been something I've heard Americans saying.
With hot and cold taps you use a plug in the sink and make it how you want it
The result of many years of propaganda and ignorance of day to day life in other countries.
Saves water and the planet. Just running taps down the drain is a waste
I don't get why Americans are so confused about sinks. You put the plug in and mix the water in the sink.
To be fair, in many cases there isn't a plug
Plus you're washing dirty hands in dirty water.
Give me running water from a mixer tap any day
Yeah - I've never filled the sink to wash my hands. Just do the back and forth thing. To be fair, it wouldn't be an issue if the hot tap wasn't always close to boiling and the cold tap pretty much ice water.
@@stephenlee5929bring your own.
There are a heck of lot of mixer taps so two taps where you can turn on both and adjust them to get the water at the heat you want. I have mixer taps.
Brits don't want to be Interrupted whilst eating. All you need to do when you want the bill is make eye contact with the staff.
As children, we are taught the Country Code, which is a set of rules for respecting farmers, farm animals and wildlife.
I went to a pub in England had a meal and when i finished i walked out without paying when i got home i realised that i hadnt paid, i phoned the pub and said sorry i totally forgot to pay, they said ok that's fine not a problem, and paid on my card over the phone, i love the way you are left alone to enjoy your meal.😊
Some friends and I did that on a boating holiday on the Thames. This was before credit/debit cards and mobile phones so sadly we had to wait until lunchtime to go back to the pub to settle up. It seemed a bit pointless going anywhere else for lunch and so...
I did similar in a cafe once and returned the next day as I left near closing time. I apologised. They said, ' Oh we realised you had forgotten but we knew you would be back!'
Their is nothing more annoying than somebody keeps asking if everything thing is ok
The only American tourists who are disliked are those who live down to the stereotype. Those who respect the local culture and make an effort to blend in, or simply not stand out, are welcome.
Never make the customer feel rushed ! That’s outrageous.
Some of the public footpaths in the UK are thousands of years old. They were there before the land was 'owned' and the law prohibits the closing of these footpaths without legislation.
Just ask Madonna how difficult it is to close a public footpath.
I live in a village in Yorkshire which is surrounded by public footpaths. I can walk to the nearest town by following the signs/footpaths.
Farmers are usually pretty good unless you hit an incredibly busy time. One camping trip we went to a farm to try and by milk and eggs. We got them and the farmer asked where we were camped. He advised us to move uphill because it was going to rain and we would be washed out. He told us if it got to bad to come into his barn. It was heavy rain. Next morning his wife sold us a lovely cooked breakfast for a very reasonable price. Frankly cold and soaked to the skin I would have sold my girlfriend for a mug of tea.
lol!!
Smaller portions also mean less food waste
When I go to a restaurant, I DONT want somebody KEEP coming to my table asking if everything is alright or do Want something else, like everybody is in a mad rush to get me out so that they can keep making lots of money. Restaurants all over Europe RESPECT the diner, they DONT interrupt while you are eating or talking with your guests and there is no mad rush to get you out. Restaurants like that would no last to long. Thats why they invented drive throughs in America, its, as always, about money-never about enjoying life. If you want lots of junk fast food, full of fat, salt and sugar and kicked out as quick as possible, where the waitress has to have a 20% tip to make her money up - go to America. I know, because I've been many times. Its a great huge country but it treats its people like shite. The UK has many many faults but I'd rather live here thanks. At least I dont have worry about my health, our food is healthy and safe and we have holidays and sickness pay and maternal time off with pay, plus there isn't a madman ready to shoot my kids in school - and we only give tips for good service not because the restaurant is mean to its staff with very low wages. Watch the video from "newsroom". "America is NOT the greatest country in the world anymore".
Well said and so bloody true
whoa up there mate when has usa EVER been the greatest country in the world brutain has given more to the world than the us we brits live in the greatest nation look at all we have invented
@@user-ip8jf1bk1c Exactly!
The separate taps goes way back because the UK system allows you to safely drink water straight from the cold taps. Brits grow up drinking from taps and when visiting other parts of the world Brits were always warned not to drink from the taps.
We do walk a lot an American friend was flabbergasted at the amount of walking we actually do. Ask a Brit where somewhere is and they’ll say just 5 minutes away round that corner, half an hour later you’re still walking😂
It’s not all Americans we don’t like it’s just the very loud, rude, demanding / entitled ones really. Those that think because they’re paying for a service can be rude to people. If you’re respectful and polite then you’ll be fine and treated with respect.
With the seperate hot & cold taps, just put the plug in the drain, add hot & cold water to your requirements & pull the plug out when you've finished.
I am 53 and i have never known someone who owned a moped and i have lived all over the UK.
It would be worth you looking into Scotlands Right to Roam, it is a amazing system that lets you go on private land. You can not go in a private garden but private land is open land. You must not litter the land the idea is to leave it as you find it, so no littering. The Right to Roam is womderful it makes the land ours and we are very protective of it. We also have Bothys which are very basic, simple propertys to take shelter in, they are free and can have a load of people you do not know staying with you.
You must pay attention though, every year people cross a field and get killed by cows.
@@charlestaylor9424 aye poor wee coos.
Lmao that field is worse than the killing fields in Cambodia I heard!@@charlestaylor9424
When I first started working I bought a moped to get to work. 18 months later I bought a car. That was better when it was raining, but slower as I couldn't use the bus lanes to pass the jams.
@@charlestaylor9424 I've crossed many fields with cow's in them sometimes one would walk slowly over but most just ignore you. Worst was when I was walking through a field in Wales with my big dog on his lead due to the sheep. He was terrified and wouldn't walk unless protected between myself and hubbie. A ram decide to come and threaten him so this large powerful dog lay down behind us. The blasted Ram bashed into the side of my leg nastie bruise on the side of my leg. The Ram decided he'd made his point and decide to 'escort' us out of the field by walking along side us until we excited the field.
Most amazing are the virtual queues. People can be standing at a bus stop waiting for one of three or four buses. When one turns up the milling crowd suddenly organises into a queue for the bus that's arrived.
Narrow roads are not a problem to us.
Most of our cars are a little smaller
As a Brit, I feel you would get along with most people here. Theres always going to be idiots. But you got a good personality.
There are over 140,000 miles of public footpaths in the UK. They are literally everywhere.
Uk lad here, i ditched the car back in 2004, used to take me nearly an hour to get to work in the car, 7 mile trip, rush hour traffic was horrendous. Jumped on my bike 38mins, found a few short cuts 30mins. I use public transport, buses, trains, i really dont miss driving at all. And i do love the amount of money i save from not having to look after a car.
We have three dogs, my neighbour has four, they are walked 3/4 times a day there is also lots of green area’s, and woods near our house to let our dogs run around and play. I live in Scotland and people in my area and surrounding area have numerous pets 👍🏻😁🏴
It's cool that you're reacting to their channel. Their vids about the UK are really fair and I love their chill demeanour. Would be cool if you did come here and made your own version of what shocked you
We travel a lot around the UK, but there are countless places to visit. They have been to places I haven't, but I have been to hundreds of places they haven't. They still know very little about the UK.
It's easy to control you food portions, stop when you are satisfied, leave the rest on your plate, it's considered greedy to stuff yourself in the UK
I am 63 and have never had a car. Not needed. Walk or taxi.
I grew up in the Highlands of Scotland, you’d definitely need a car, although we do have buses & trains that will take you to the nearest city, which is Inverness.
The NC500 (North Coast) is a popular drive with loads of beautiful towns & villages to check in on.
They were right though, there are SO many towns, villages and even hamlets that exist outside of London and spread out ALL over the main land & isles of the UK, so so beautiful and really worth travelling too.
I might have suggested you watch this YT vid before - 'British Foot Paths are Living History | UK vs US' by Mac & Blair Family Adventures
I second this!
I really want to walk the Ridgeway, Britain’s and England’s oldest road that passes numerous ancient monuments like Wayland’s Smithy and the Uffington Horse.
In the UK we have Public Footpaths, Public Bridleways, all very old going back to the days of Pack Horses etc. But we NEED to use them more, because if we don't use them then they can close them and take them away. Scotland has the right to roam laws which are even better than England and Wales. We do in general respect other peoples property, even when the footpath crosses through their land, but they know it and landowners also have certain responsibilities to keep them open and free from hazards. If you come here, get a map showing you the Paths, they exist. I actually live close to the South West Coastal Path, so my dog gets some interesting walks sometimes. I do worry, however that people are not teaching their kids to respect the outdoors in the same way that I was taught as a child. The amount of litter I see when out walking, sweet wrappers etc, just thrown on the ground instead of being put into the litter bins, disgusts me.
If someone has nicked the sink’s plug then fair enough 💁🏼♀️ but….. not being able to work out that by putting that funny, black, rubbery round thing dangling on a chain, in that hole where all the tap water is running to, the sink will actually fill up with a mix of hot n cold water, so that the washing of hands would be a simple task, is just very strange! 🤷🏽♀️
Trusting that the sink is clean enough to mix water in is more trust than I have😂
@@margiestevens2384 put the plug into the plughole - run some hot water into the sink - squirt some soap into sink bowl and give it a wipe around wash with a paper towel - remove the plug to drain the “dirty, unclean, stagnant water” 🤔 - replace plug and refill sink - now wash hand with a squirt of soap - SIMPLES! 😄
The confusion over the taps is hilarious. There is a plug, usually on a chain, that you pop in and mix the water that way.
There are a lot of footpaths in the UK that you can get maps of them & I believe there is over 2000 mapped pathways, hope you get to enjoy at least a small portion of them
The difficulty with parking in the UK reflects the price of land over here. We don't have any "spare" land, unlike the States, so available land in towns and cities that hasn't been built on, has a pretty high value. Parking charges compensate the landowners somewhat.
It is good to be appreciated, Love the cousins over the pond bless you all😍💕🐾
The bill thing, they are giving you the time to ask. The American style seems like to get you fed and get you out of the door as fast as possible for the next customers.
Apparently, America has 8 parking spaces per car. In the UK we have 1 parking space per 5 cars
Smaller portions but higher quality ingredients so you feel satisfied at the end.
Eating in a restaurant in the UK is a leisurely experience, take your time and relax, have a chat etc. you typically get around 2 hours before they may ask you to move to the bar area if they’re busy and have another booking. Maybe 1.5 hours if it’s very busy. But if it’s quiet you can often stay as long as you like
Every restaurant I've ever been, if you've booked a table, that table is yours for the entire night. Never known any restaurants that double book. I'm 68.
We went out for dinner last night - we booked for 7 and left about 9.30. We finished eating around 8.30, but stayed to have another couple of drinks before we left.
The coast to coast walk is awesome, also the Cotswold Way is a great walk. Our footpath network is something we take for granted, but it's great to have access to.
... or try the Pennine way x
'Beard meets food' is a UK based food eater who rarely uses a knife. His videos are entertaining and might be worth a reaction?
If you plan to travel outwith the cities and larger towns then a car is needed, especially here in Scotland as a lot of the most beautiful places are in the middle of nowhere with maybe only a couple of very small villages. We still do have a good train network (maybe not so much the actual service) but hiring a car for part of your time is a must. Also in Scotland we have the right to roam which means we can walk or bike anywhere (with a few exceptions such as MOD land or private gardens) even through pricate land or fields, footpath or no footpath. We can also wild camp anywhere (again a few limitations) as long as you leave the place as you find it. We are very lucky.
You'll be very welcome here. Americans are family.
England and the UK aren’t the same thing.
Video idea...
The Coast to Coast: 182 Miles across the English countryside
By Liam Brown
Many hot water systems get water from a header tank and as such must be kept separate from the cold water system. Hence, the two taps.
Cornwall is beautiful - highly recommended if you ever get over the Atlantic.
I love a good queue, there's nothing better. And that tiny rush you feel when you let an older person or someone on crutches jump in front of you. I mean that's priceless (blah blah barclaycard).
Virtually nobody has a moped in the U.K., it barely ever stops raining.
There is a tv series called coast to coast it is wonderful.combining geography history culture food countrside seaside mountains crafts old buildings and country ways and so much more
Chester , Cornwall , the list is endless. There’s some beautiful places in the UK 😊 We’ve visited London a few times but it’s too busy for us .
Trains are expensive to most people BUT if you are going on day trips the cost can drop a very large amount if you travel after " rush hour " to your destination and return before the evening " rush hour" , starts but always check what the times are otherwise it'll cost you .
We also have national express coaches and stage coach .prices are very reasonable .I buy a bus ticket at mums and can travel any where within the region for 2 pounds .a coffee costs more than that
The restaurant I go to regularly I was in for breakfast at 11:00 and left after dinner at 19:00.
Yeah our roads are narrow, my first car was a camero Z28 😄 and that was fine👌 generally now I just use an electric bike , I have a car (fiat panda 4x4 diesel) but we don't have deserts and salt flats inbetween villages... It's just a couple of miles😄 all towns and cities and most villages have a small train station and you can take a bike on the train too so if you are going into the city you don't need to pay to park or pay congestion charges/tolls with a bike you just chain it up right outside , I only need to use my car to pull my boat maybe once a month , I live on the river Mersey but may take my boat 12 miles to the river dee or ten miles to the river weaver or 7 miles to the elesmere port canal... Nothing is very far away, it's quite compact here😄👍
Get over here and explore the countryside as well as London
Footpaths are a big deal.
They are NOT private property, they are "public rights of way".
There have been incidents where people have found that they have inadvertently built extensions on footpaths and have had to agree to allow people to walk through their new kitchens!
There is probably a whole video on this subject. :)
Hi I'm 61 and born in the UK and you will never see people abusing the footpaths, it doesn't matter where you are there is a footpath, I live 22 miles south of London and personally if i was a tourist i wouldn't go to London yes it's very impressive but our countryside is so much better.
I dont know i heard someone using the f word on our local footpath the other day, it was pretty abusive of him. 😊
@@chsh1 blimey that's nasty.
Farm traffic can cause problems because most of the vehicles are much larger when your on narrow roads where farming takes place.
We don’t have many mopeds, you get used to using narrow roads especially if you live in a rural area.
There is a channel called “off day adventures”, an American couple , who hiked the Cotswold way in the uk. I think there is several videos over about 9 days.
Highly recommend he watch that series. They pushed themselves but made it and had a great time
I live in a village that's in the south of England. It's a 3 mile drive to the nearest supermarket. On that journey there's at least 20 signs indicating a footpath. 3 of those footpaths lead to open access land. In other words once you're in open access land you can leave the footpath and pretty much wonder off wherever you like. The UK has a huge network of footpaths. Having said that, you've got to remember that England on it's own is smaller than Texas.
It depends if you go to a high class restaurant or hotel then you are more likely to have a waiter or waitress (what you guys call servers) but its not so in your face, also they dont rely on the tip so you only tip if you genuinely feel you got good service! BUT Yes if you go to a pub or a cafe you often have to go up to the bar and order in case of the former and then they will shout you when your food is ready its just part of the experience but then again you could spend hours in there, same with a cafe yoi go up and order your own food at the counter and you will either be called when its ready or sometimes they will bring the food to you!
Check out the Pembrokeshire Coastal Pathway in Wales. Also Wales is full of conservation corridors that weave their way through the country
It's stunning .Wales...heaven on earth
We don't waste tarmac and land for tarmac car parks which act as heat sinks, did you know there are 8 parking places for every car in the US. As Joni Mitchell complained - "they paved paradise and put up a parking lot" (Big Yellow Taxi, 1970)
Hmm the separate hot and cold taps are more in older properties you have to remember that some properties can be 100's of years old! Believe me we DO have mixer taps I have mixer taps in both my bathroom and kitchen! But some older hotels and houses and even public conveniences that have been around for many many years can still have the separate hot and cold taps.
The reason is that cold water from the mains supply is deemed safe and fit to drink...whereas hot water comes from water that is stored in a tank (generally in the loft) and may have been standing there for some time + the heating of water via the boiler tank etc can result in the transmission of particulates such as metals slowly eroding over time etc contaminating the water.
Water bylaws state that the two must be kept separate for safety and even with today's modern mixers the hot water does NOT meet with the cold supply at any point until the very last moment...and they have mechanisms that prevent one flowing to the other with the inevitable imbalance of pressure between the two systems.
You should definetely visit the UK Mr Dragon. We would make you very welcome. Make sure you try Greggs if you come, they do very nice pasties and sandwiches.
The USA, whilst a great country, could learn a lot from the UK. Is "Humble" a word in the USA? Nice channel btw. 👍
ENGLAND Has It's Own Flag Try Using It
It's logical that our lavatories are better we invented the flushing toilet!
Nice to see a RUclipsr who's generally clued up on the differences of the UK v USA and the beneficiaries of the UK v USA. Been to NYC 5 times from 93 - 0019, also been to Hagerstown (Maryland) and UCON / New Haven (Connecticut). Good work cha!
If people are nice to us we are nice to them.
My daughter pays for things via her wrist watch
Portion sizes, the more upmarket the place the smaller the portions! I went to a restaurant in London once and had a tasting menu or amuse bouche. Three courses, each course had three items and the quantity was approx. a dessert spoon in size. I have to say it was the best food I've ever tasted. As you take your time and really savour the flavours I was full by the time we finished. I find as I've got older I don't eat as much and I eat more slowly. A popular new idea is to have a small dessert with a tea or coffee for the price of the normal sized dessert.
Footpaths - I have always lived near the north downs in Surrey. There is a famous route there going eventually to Canterbury called the Pilgrims Way. Mentioned in Chaucer's the Canterbury Tales
Americans can get a fantastic deal on unlimited train travel, if they book before. (I don't know how it works, but we can't get that deal here). I think its a BritRail, or Britpass.
I think for 3 days unlimited travel, it'll cost the same as a one way trip to London for me.
You can get longer passes too, i think.
I warned you, these were a lovely couple. Even the little dog they brought over was lovely
In some places old toilets are turned into bars and restaurants.
Have you seen the nettle eating events in the UK?
Why would you want someone constantly coming to you and asking if your alright. do you need anything else. I would get right peed off and tell them to do one.
Touting for tips...that's why. Those sorts of service jobs pay a pittance and are only viable when tips are added...hence why they a) typically want you to be done and on your way to free up space for the next tipper (customer) b) are excessively attentive...they're fishing for tips they NEED to make the job worth doing at all. It's annoying, but I get it.
It's a backward-ass system where the owner passes the burden of paying their staff directly to the customer rather than the owner paying staff a suitable living wage out of their businesses' takings.
It's also a reason, I believe, for the crazy portion sizes...there's so much competition that food places have to try and give as much value as possible to a) try to ensure good tips (since some skim tips off their staff) and b) give people a reason to return. I'm sure at some point there's been some kind of silent portion size war where food providers have kept escalating the portions and others then kept following suit until you end up with the situation you have where you are often confronted with at least twice as much as an average human needs. AND it becomes a totally normal thing to take half of it home like you're some sort of farm animal...the whole -doggy bag' thing is just weird...and a bit gross tbh. Yes certainly, let me just go in the back and shovel all this stuff you didn't eat into a box so you can take it with you...why the hell is that a thing?
@vallejomach6721 America the supposed greatest country in the world and what have they really got Nothing. Healthcare terrible, gun crime terrible. Wages in some jobs, terrible. The land of the free....just a joke. Americans are not free at all. They are ruled at every corner. They may think they are free and it's the greatest country, but in truth they are just shackled with no way to escape.
I'm surprised that you think we have lots of mopeds in the UK, we don't, a few youngsters may have them, but they soon change to a car as soon as they can, they can have a moped licence at 14 but not until 17 for a car licence and our driving tests are much harder than in the US. And, the vast majority of our roads are not very narrow, the lane width specifications are mostly the same as the US. I live in a very rural area and have only one narrow single track road that connects two main ones that is around 1 mile long, but it has lots of passing places and very little traffic. There are some narrow roads, but they are few and far between, I've seen single track rural roads in the US on videos and film that are every bit as narrow. We just don't build vast wide stretches of tarmac or concrete roads in our suburbs but most are plenty wide enough for two large trucks to pass each other comfortably (our large rucks are the same width maximum as in the US).
KUDOS to you rebel gret towatchyou are not pausing every ten seconds and passing comments MANY THANKS 😁😁😁😁😁😁
The only time I’ve known for landowners to want to stop people walking footpaths is when they are new comers who have bought land.
People really should use their local footpaths because if you don’t use it eventually you’ll lose it. There thousands of miles of footpaths that are at risk of being lost with a 2031 deadline.
Yes - like that silly woman Madonna!
I'd say there are lots of Americans that haven't been out of their State, and judging my some of the ignorant comments online, some haven't been out of their town.
My dad had a moped in the 1950s and 1960s. It was cheaper than a car and faster than a bicycle! He got a car mid 1960s. We dont see many mopeds these days, but there are lots of e-bikes and e-scooters which are a bloody nuisance!
I'm surprised that cheques (or checks as the Americans spell them) are still so used to pay for goods and services. I'm sure there's a reason, but on this side of the pond, they're practically gone. In some European countries, they've been gone for years.
We have walking groups ,ramblers associations, hikers and I'm 65 and have walked most of England and never seen people abusing the right to pass over somebody's land .we close gates.take our rubbish home,respect the rules.
I am from the UK and I think it is very rude of people to come out with comments like what you read from some people, over somebody else's eating habits. Yes we DO eat more conservatively, but that's how we are in this country, if I went to places on the African continent, they eat with their fingers! We here in the UK have quirky ways I know, but that's what makes us different ! It is so lovely to listen to both your comments and that of the couples experiences whilst over here. I am just so glad that we are ALL in our own ways different and unique and we should accept, not necessarily criticise that fact, it would be such a boring world if we were ALL THE SAME. Thank you for your interesting programme.
The Thames footpath is good, it takes you all along parts of the Thames river
I'm a trail runner, hiker and wild camper in the UK so use the footpaths all the time, they're absolutely everywhere, and I live in the countryside too and I have to say, most people are respectful, but every year as summer kicks in the one major issue we have is litter, we have zero litter all winter then boom, all of a sudden we're drowning in it, where I live is a national park called Snowdonia which is also mountainous and we have to organise voluntary litter collection groups regularly throughout the summer to keep it under control.
Some public footpaths go through private company ground's not just the country side.
I used to live in the middle of a town in a house that was 600 years old and it had a footpath that ran down one side close enough for people to look in the windows. We meditated this a bit by planting flower beds with prickly plants and roses close to the house to discourage people from looking in at the windows. What we did object to, was boys on motorcycles using the footpath as the noise and smell was intrusive. At one point we installed a pedestrian gate to stop motorcycles but people objected and set light to it. In the end we had the council install waist high barriers with an offset so pedestrians could walk through unimpeded and mothers with pushchairs (strollers) could push them under the barrier. It still caused grumbling but as it had been put in by the council and it was heavy galvanised steel tubing set in concrete it was eventually tolerated as we had not “blocked” the footpath
Very few people in the UK have mopeds. More so in France, because it’s easy and economic.
that is because of all the hoops you have to jump through to get a moped licence in the UK, easier and less hassle just to get a car licence.
I went to a pub in a place in England called Hayling Island [gorgeous area] the name i think was the yew tree but it might have been the ship inn.the toilet was a bench with holes cut into the top where one or more people could sit to do what they needed to and then leave .only females it was not mixed .
Tho greatest place on earth 🌎 is. Wales my home,I guess everyone thinks the same
There are 1000’s of miles of public footpaths. Most are historic and land owners cannot block these. They are well used and well loved. It’s just a way of life whether you use them for a walking holiday or just to do your daily dog walks.
I hope you get to come over here and enjoy the nature and footpaths. I live in Yorkshire which has some great natural scenery which I'm sure you would appreciate from watching your videos. If you havent already reacted to a video about Yorkshire/the North then I would enjoy seeing you do that 😊 if you have done already I'm going to search for it now
I do wish someone would make a video just about separate Hot & Cold taps, and why we have so many places in the UK that have both rather than mixer taps. They also seem to need to teach people from the USA about sink plugs and what they are for. The odd thing is that the mixer taps were invented in the USA at the end of the 19th century, so what the heck did you use before then and why have you forgotten?
Yes Americans will stereotypically forget historical things not sold, told or constantly propagandised to them...
Yes I am taking this p1$$, but there is a kernel of truth to their short term population's memory capabilities.
We don't like cards being taken out of sight because of the potential for them to be cloned
Car drivers are used to different roads so mopeds and motor bikes are usually easier to get through heavy traffic.
Only foreign vistors fear our narrow roads when your brought up with narrow road it becomes second nature
As regards footpaths that's only the rule in England .Scotland is a different country and has different laws In Scotland you can walk anywhere literally you don't have to stick to footpaths .As regards two taps on the sink I can have a nice basin of water set up and ready to go in about 20seconds no problem .
There are areas in England which have 'right to roam' status - mainly upland areas, mainly (but not entirely) in the north of England. Many Scottish laws reflect the current and historic Scandinavian influence on the country, which is perfectly understandable.
@@Sine-gl9ly that's good to hear people should have rights to roam .more power to you I say .As long as we don't do any harm that's great .
Go to stonehenge. Or go to a castle. Highclere house has open days and tours. Fantastic gardens and walks. Wadesdon mann9r owned by the rothschilds, open to anyone. Gardens are open most of the year, and if you live in the village you get a free pass to go in.
