I live in a house that’s still got walls in it that’s 450 years old and been in my family for generations. 😂 no where near as grand as an estate though
honestly i'd be pissed off too if i had to work my regular shift, minus two employees, and have to train two people who live in a literal castle and have never washed a dish before... 🤷🏻♂️
not to mention, for reality shows like this the producers are in charge of the "plotline" so it is very likely they told her to give them a hard time this particular episode seems very much like they were trying hard to push the narrative of how different the two families are lol..... like the scene with the tour of the town -- where he drove around a broken-down old bus and pointed out three thrift stores lol -- seemed very fake
The restaurant manager needs some help with managing people. She's telling the British Mum to get off her bum and get to work....Um, looks like you need to take your own advice, Honey.
Yeah, I know they have no choice on towns, because it's a show about sister cities, but you can't really function in a rural, bible-belt town like Stroud, Oklahoma unless you were born and raised there. Most Americans wouldn't even go to a place like that. To send Brits there is just crazy!
@@Revelwoodie these were British people who believe in God and the wife goes to church. If it's too much for them, it'll be way too much for me as an atheist.
The Americans get to spend their time in a nice old country house with friendly welcoming people, and the brits get to scrub dishes with mini hitler lol. Seems fair
Oh my gosh!! I was the American young girl named Alexis. I was DYING watching her trying to listen to that trash 😂. That is how I felt during the whole time of being raised there!! When he said “I think it’s a bit weird honestly” - that sentence was my mantra while living & growing up in Stroud, Oklahoma 😂 I was definitely born in the wrong town!
@@ericagalbraithrouse9303 lmao Americans can be funny as hell and there are many uptight Brittish what are you talking about? England is not better than the US please stop.I'm neither British nor Anerican . Both Countries have their pros and cons but the UK definitely isn't "better" lol.
Hi! I’m Alexis the younger American blonde girl on the show. I’m now 27yrs old watching this for the first time😂. But I wanted to say that you are so freaking correct about that!! An actual not so fun fact; I was working in the restaurant & heard that “pastor” being extremely outwardly racist. I yelled at him & my mom banned him from the restaurant (sadly only for a few months). But man are those people in that town the most small minded, hypocritical, judgmental people to exist. Their thoughts on what’s “right and wrong” are so twisted. I am so glad to no longer live in Stroud, and never felt like I fit in there growing up. It was torture.
Thats how it should be all over the world. Being prepared to defend yourself with a gun does not harm anybody, but swearing in front of other people and kids in a restaurant is another category.
@@davecopp9356 don't be absurd haha. Most of the developed world understands priorities, because swearing is not only fine but often a great way of expressing your emotions, while guns are threatening and kill people. Come on, this isn't hard to grasp.
@@jamesdettmann94 Have you listened to much to Biden, come on? Guns are not threatening, not in the slightest. As a little boy I already loved guns before I even owned one, never felt threatened by a gun. I love these traditional values. And what they said about swearing sents you to hell was a joke by them.
@@davecopp9356 tradition should always be rejected in favour of reason. We used to own guns here in the UK because they were traditional and comforting, but after some awful massacres which were inevitable, they were banned. Think about it. You only feel the need to protect yourself with a gun because you live in a dangerous gun culture so you need protection? If nobody could shoot you, you wouldn't need to carry a weapon around. Here it's mostly knife crime that is dangerous, but it's pretty rare.
@@jamesdettmann94 My responce got deleted. So here is the short one: The criminals you mostly imported over the last few decades just use cars, knifes and acid to commit their crimes and the victims are left defenceless by their government. You can´t even take a normal size knife with you in the city. That is the reallity. So the only one harmed by these liberal politics are the law obiding residence of a country. In Colorado is a restaurant, were every waitress carries, there will never be a knife or acid attack or a robbery, because the criminal will be reformed in a second for ever. That is freedom and security for law obiding people. Here is a link: ruclips.net/video/Kb1VldFpRG8/видео.html
This is such a positive show. I appreciate the pastor's desire to reach out to the British family to share the Gospel. I've watched a couple of these episodes now.
Any older and its "historic" in the US and that takes some steps to insure preservation. Usually places are remodeled and torn down so often places don't last that long unless the community specifically tries to keep it around and have it become government protected labeling it "historic"
@@nikimartinez9753 my point was that 70 years old isn't 'old'. The church in my village is 800 years old. *That's* old. My place is only 170 years old and isn't rare or unusual or even considered old in England.
My grandma's mom fled Oklahoma in the 30s because they tried to marry her off at 12. She moved back years later after having 10 kids, and left again in the 60s because the creepy old men were already trying to move in on her preteen daughters. My grandma has very few good things to say about Oklahoma. I'm glad I'm not stuck there.
The Dust Bowl probably had something to do with that. The ecological disaster in the 1930s due to overfarming which caused a lot of people to emigrate to other states.
Working in that Rock cafe would be so unfulfilling for me. Working at the estate, especially on grounds would be fullfilling. Each too their own I guess.
Hahaha my sister and her family have lived in Stroud, Gloucester for decades, it is soooooo pretty. I love this show. Love Poms. Love the English family. The USA Bible Belt sounds awful.
Im an American and have been to quite a few states and have visited quite a few countries and can say I have never been to Oklahoma and do not care to go there
@@hetbet3879 I've lived all over the US also, and have never in my life seen a place like Stroud, Oklahoma, except in movies. If you're judging the entire country based on that, you'll have a skewed perception.
I'm from Indiana and it sucks but there's no way in Hell I would live in Oklahoma. I don't even like people from Oklahoma. Everyone I know from OK is a religious fanatic and an asshole
well its based on towns that are twinned with each other. Now the question of how on earth did these two towns got twinned with each other is the real one.
I liked that description of Old Money/New Money and the "Made it, enjoy it, Haven't got it" also I suspect it may of been this Region of the UK sandi toksvig got her accent from...that large lady has an accent that reminds me of Sandi's.
Sandi Toksvig's Danish, she probably developed her accent at Cambrige University. Her accent is called Received Pronunciation, it isn't geographic, but one cultural.
I really doubt these people care what color you are... as long as you praise Jesus. I've been through quite a few small religious towns in TX and OK, and you'd be surprised for one how little they care about skin color, and 2 how diverse most of the small towns actually are, most are a mix of white and black, especially in East Tx... This is a real small town, so Muslims, I'm not sure, maybe some will be ignorant and be hostile toward the religion, but not their race.
Thank you! Small observation: I thought women's shirts with open windows at the shoulders were a terrible new trend over the past year. But this show was filmed in 2012 and the daughter is wearing one in the first few minutes! Guess I never noticed them.
Ah yes, good ole American South. I was born in Oklahoma, and glad I escaped from the state in my youth for all the reasons in this show. Even though the American South was originally very close to British culture, it diverged after 1776. So Americans stayed religious and Britain became more secular than us. It's embarrassing af, yeah. In conservative areas they have this work ethic that you have to constantly move, no chit chat. That woman to me though, is super rude though. She is not the owner of the restaurant. She barks orders constantly and I don't like how she talks to people.
Oklahoma is not the south. You'd know that if you were from oklahoma is the midwest. I am from Northern Virginia which is in the true south of the mason dixon line and we are not even that conservative. Small pockets of bigots and idiots do not represent the entire regions.
@@lostalex77 Yes it is! The Census Bureau counts it as Southern and it is South of the Mason-Dixon line. The culture is Southern. You can Google that shit if it confuses you. If you think it's not you clearly haven't been around Oklahoma too much because you would know of the friendly rivalry that Texas and Oklahoma have. Texas had no problem considering us part of the South.
@@lostalex77 Oklahoma is a mix, some of it is more midwestern but the areas closer to Texas are more southern. Although I have never been there, I have been to Texas and have met people from Ok. You are from a very progressive part of the south, most of the south is still very bigoted and extremely right wing, it is definitely like that in the areas surrounding my town, thankfully I live in a college town that is more opened minded
@Alec Neate I think also because we cut ourselves off the British empire quickly and evolved separately. Doing everything we could to distance ourselves.... The culture retained in Southern America is more of a remnant of Britain from the 1700s-1800s. It doesn't help that they try to keep traditional.
@@Rosemari753 British food is actually great since alot of it is home-made. Alot of american food is processed crap that is loaded with sugar and salt.
An English friend who spent a few years in the USA was horrified with the way that people didn't take advantage of great, fresh ingredients. One example she gave was someone who took a lovely cut of beef, poured canned condensed soup over it, covered the top with potato chips and baked it. Why? That beef would have been the centrepiece here in England.
Wow seen some others, but great to see the first in the whole series ! I think it was successful on both sides... I especially liked seeing the Lord of the manor washing pots 😁😆 And the Lady Melanie doing her bird impressions 😂 "Enter Sandman" introduction to an Oklahoma school ?! LMAO 🤘🤘🤘 Culture clash yes, but that was the point of this series ! Loved both the families, they embraced everything 🌈💕
As an American if a foreigner wants to visit avoid anywhere they self identify as "Bible belt" or "conservative" it's an old way of thinking that most younger generations dont agree with at least not entirely and not so passionately. It's really embarrassing to have that represent the US
Why? If someone came in to kill people or rob the place and the person with the gun shot them wouldn't you appreciate that? I've been robbed before. Would've been nice to have a gun on me when I did
Agreed ever seen the end of pulp fiction? Just saying it shouldn't scare anyone. If it were scary they'd walk in pointing it not decide halfway through to be a maniac
that upper crust kid got off lucky with that doll! its called baby think if over and i had it in school. it crys at random times for a half hour to an hour at a time and the only way you get it to stop is by putting a key in its back and holding it to one side the entire time to simulate the time you would need to tend to a baby. we had the keys banded to our wrists so you couldnt leave it with anyone else and if you cut it off youd get a failing grade and if you took the battery out youd fail. he didnt do either, i guess it was a good thing he only was visiting at the school bc he'd have failed big time
@@akcortin We all do, to discourage us from getting pregnant/ fathering a child. You have to take the baby with you everywhere you go for 2 weeks, boys and girls both, and it is supposed to make you not have premarital sex.
What? Being pregnant isn't like a ball rolling around! In my school they took a whole day for our year and split it into different classes/discussions about contraception, relationships, STDs, and more. These kids just got a loud Tamagotchi.
I’m sure restaurants are rarely like that in America but in the Uk if you forget a napkin the customer gets angry how do the customers sit and watch the boss yell at staff I would never return in England it would be in the papers and everything
Rah I didn't know Stroud was twinned with another Stroud in America. There's a sign in the town saying it's twinned with some french town but not the American one
For everyone getting mad at the “mean” restaurant owner: most likely the producers made her more bossy and pushy. A normal GM wouldn’t make you scrub a pot with that much burnt on char nor would they yell at you in front of customers. Yes, there is a reality to how harsh the food industry is in the USA, but reality tv is almost always fake and the Producers have to create villains and narratives.
Wait… there's one source of ALL power and that's god… and then there's the devil's power? So, doesn't the devil get his power from god, then? And if god is all powerful, why doesn't he magic the devil away? Or change his personality like he did to Pharaoh? So many questions… so many inconsistencies.
I know what you mean, even though he was talking about the young boys would be viewing the young girls that they were talking to were about the same age as them as "the local crumpet", But like u said , the way that the narrator said it 🤔😒🤨,💯 suspect sounding, and he has just got one of those creepy real true old school wierdo sounding voices which makes him sound like a bit of a perv or something hasn't he 🤔, U know what I mean 😂😎💯
seriously?? 35:41 The football coach has the team say The Lord's Prayer together, then tells them "There comes a time when you have to start slitting throats". Then "what do you believe in?" "BLUE WHITE" What a hypocrite. There is nothing Christian about telling teenage boys that there comes time they need to start slitting throats, especially in the spirit of sports. That isn't Christianity. That is pretend "fashion' Christianity that you see so commonly in the Southern Bible Belt. Talk like a Christian when it suits your social needs, then talk and act in a non-Christian way as soon as the church doors are behind you.
@@ericaspringfield4473 Of course it is, but honestly, I have always thought the pre-game prayer was silly. For one thing, don't they think the other team is doing the exact same thing? So, like, if they win, does it mean God likes them better than the other kids? That seems kind of mean to me. Anyway, if they really want to pray for something, why not world peace, ending famine, or a cure for cancer? Oh, yeah, I forgot. They have to stick to the important stuff.
@@jazzkatt1919 I always thought it was weird to see people pray for selfish, insignificant things like that (like sports). Like, you believe that you're communicating with an all-powerful being that created the universe, and you think this supernatural creature cares about your dumb game (or whatever other frivolous thing)? It's such an odd mindset.
What I don't about Americans is how fanatic many of them seem to be. Whether it's about religion, politics, guns, sports, patriotism etc. That makes them seem a bit crazy to Europeans.
Why would they do a show, bring a family from England, only to take them to a little, boring, lame town in Oklahoma??? Whoever came up with this show idea should be fired. Oklahoma????
That's so boring. Nothing fun happens at these places, is all about the same thing over and over again. You tell them to f- off, nobody will and either nobody will tell you so. That's an empty life, isn't it ...

Hah I feel for Melanie. My only live goal is to get a shag with some sizeable garden around it, so I can put a peacock in it. Love those birds
To be fair to him, 3.30 mins in, his accent (though terrible) is not bad for knowing so little about England.
Its probably the best impersonation of an English accent I've seen an American do
Its okay it's only gone into my eyeball xD
Wow seen some others, but great to see the first in the whole series !
I think it was successful on both sides... I especially liked seeing the Lord of the manor washing pots 😁😆 And the Lady Melanie doing her bird impressions 😂
"Enter Sandman" introduction to an Oklahoma school ?!
LMAO
🤘🤘🤘
Culture clash yes, but that was the point of this series !
Loved both the families, they embraced everything 🌈💕
As an American if a foreigner wants to visit avoid anywhere they self identify as "Bible belt" or "conservative" it's an old way of thinking that most younger generations dont agree with at least not entirely and not so passionately. It's really embarrassing to have that represent the US
Carrying a gun is not a normal American thing to do. I'm American and can relate more to the British than this southern town.
The "pastor" isn't well educated... the entire fundamentalist thing is weird... sorcery ?
i wish we had wholesome shows like this here in america
Who takes a gun to a cafe? That would cause me constant anxiety if that was normal here 😩
Why? If someone came in to kill people or rob the place and the person with the gun shot them wouldn't you appreciate that? I've been robbed before. Would've been nice to have a gun on me when I did
Agreed ever seen the end of pulp fiction? Just saying it shouldn't scare anyone. If it were scary they'd walk in pointing it not decide halfway through to be a maniac
Ikr
Wow, not going to Oklahoma (or at least not Stroud). Glad I was born halfway across the country from there.
The Gloucestershire house is Trenwyth house in Poldark and Miss Taylor/Mrs Western’s house in the newest Emma movie
That restaurant manager ruined the episode for me
that upper crust kid got off lucky with that doll! its called baby think if over and i had it in school. it crys at random times for a half hour to an hour at a time and the only way you get it to stop is by putting a key in its back and holding it to one side the entire time to simulate the time you would need to tend to a baby. we had the keys banded to our wrists so you couldnt leave it with anyone else and if you cut it off youd get a failing grade and if you took the battery out youd fail. he didnt do either, i guess it was a good thing he only was visiting at the school bc he'd have failed big time
why do school going children get dolls?
Yeah I had to do it to and we had to care for them for a week.
@@akcortin We all do, to discourage us from getting pregnant/ fathering a child. You have to take the baby with you everywhere you go for 2 weeks, boys and girls both, and it is supposed to make you not have premarital sex.
OMG the turkey speech was so embarrassing hahahahah....
Yeah, american athletics borders on the point of insanity at times.
Your average American football player could tear apart your best rugby player.
@@crypter27 Without the padding and helmets? Haha no way. A rugby player feasts on blood, american football players are afraid of it..
@@JK-xt7ro They wear padding and helmets because the tackling hits harder.
@@JK-xt7ro American football players are a foot taller and look like a truck with legs, they'll plow through a rugby player.
@@crypter27 Lol no
What? Being pregnant isn't like a ball rolling around!
In my school they took a whole day for our year and split it into different classes/discussions about contraception, relationships, STDs, and more. These kids just got a loud Tamagotchi.
The British kid reminds me of Michael Cera
I’m sure restaurants are rarely like that in America but in the Uk if you forget a napkin the customer gets angry how do the customers sit and watch the boss yell at staff I would never return in England it would be in the papers and everything
I prefer animals to people as well. Animals don't hurt you, or try and brave you
This is not really selling Oklahoma. That awful cafe manager.... unbelievable.
I want that animal job now, also getting so triggered at how much bedding they were picking up with the poo.
I am an English person in American clothing....
Sorry but haggis is in Scotland nothing England wrong country
He did say Brits, so technically he's correct.
Rock climbing?🤨
I thought the same !! 😆 ..and scrolled down to see if anyone else picked up on that 😳😂
... although I do like climbing rocks.. 🤔
Maybe he heard of the cliffs of Dover and assumed they were for climbing...
England - world capital of rock walls. Of course!
The lady in the blue sweater, Caroline, was everything.
Gotta love melanie 😭😂😂🤣
*This is not the T* while sipping tea, is a mood.
"Rock climbing" I'm pretty sure England is known not for that 🤣🤣
We might be from the "old" country, but we seem to have send all the extremists to the "new" country lol 😂
Rah I didn't know Stroud was twinned with another Stroud in America. There's a sign in the town saying it's twinned with some french town but not the American one
Did that English guy give the American girl one ?
For everyone getting mad at the “mean” restaurant owner: most likely the producers made her more bossy and pushy. A normal GM wouldn’t make you scrub a pot with that much burnt on char nor would they yell at you in front of customers. Yes, there is a reality to how harsh the food industry is in the USA, but reality tv is almost always fake and the Producers have to create villains and narratives.
Wait… there's one source of ALL power and that's god… and then there's the devil's power? So, doesn't the devil get his power from god, then? And if god is all powerful, why doesn't he magic the devil away? Or change his personality like he did to Pharaoh? So many questions… so many inconsistencies.
animal lady :what was happening in your part of the world in 1556, uh nothing!
dude: nothing
animal lady: what year did columbus arrive?
omfg what gross narration at 11:00.... calling two girls who look about 7 years old "the local crumpet"??? wtf.....
Lmao....
I know what you mean, even though he was talking about the young boys would be viewing the young girls that they were talking to were about the same age as them as "the local crumpet",
But like u said , the way that the narrator said it 🤔😒🤨,💯 suspect sounding, and he has just got one of those creepy real true old school wierdo sounding voices which makes him sound like a bit of a perv or something hasn't he 🤔, U know what I mean 😂😎💯
Don’t worry the book was written by somebody so if the person doesn’t understand it it’s OK kid.....
And then the next Faith somebody else wrote it
seriously?? 35:41 The football coach has the team say The Lord's Prayer together, then tells them "There comes a time when you have to start slitting throats". Then "what do you believe in?" "BLUE WHITE" What a hypocrite. There is nothing Christian about telling teenage boys that there comes time they need to start slitting throats, especially in the spirit of sports. That isn't Christianity. That is pretend "fashion' Christianity that you see so commonly in the Southern Bible Belt. Talk like a Christian when it suits your social needs, then talk and act in a non-Christian way as soon as the church doors are behind you.
Apparently they think 'Thou shalt not kill' was a guideline not a rule.
Are y'all slow or something it's a figure of speech duh
@@ericaspringfield4473 telling kids to "slit throats" does not seem like an acceptable figure of speech to be using as a coach.
@@ericaspringfield4473 Of course it is, but honestly, I have always thought the pre-game prayer was silly. For one thing, don't they think the other team is doing the exact same thing? So, like, if they win, does it mean God likes them better than the other kids? That seems kind of mean to me. Anyway, if they really want to pray for something, why not world peace, ending famine, or a cure for cancer? Oh, yeah, I forgot. They have to stick to the important stuff.
@@jazzkatt1919 I always thought it was weird to see people pray for selfish, insignificant things like that (like sports). Like, you believe that you're communicating with an all-powerful being that created the universe, and you think this supernatural creature cares about your dumb game (or whatever other frivolous thing)? It's such an odd mindset.
The robot baby is an IQ test to see if you can think of removing the batteries.
29:07 This guy is going to break so many girls' hearts
IS THAT THE HOUSE FROM POLDARK??
What I don't about Americans is how fanatic many of them seem to be. Whether it's about religion, politics, guns, sports, patriotism etc. That makes them seem a bit crazy to Europeans.
Is this your family on the show?
I'm from the North East (Boston) Stroud USA is the moon to me.
In other words, new money has nicer stuff?
I'd get through night I'm a heavy sleeper plus I have karma beside me
They're preaching about going to hell not aware that they already are in hell. They've created hell for themselves by teaching this nonsense.
Okies!
Why would they do a show, bring a family from England, only to take them to a little, boring, lame town in Oklahoma???
Whoever came up with this show idea should be fired.
Oklahoma????
its the town they're twinned with
Do racists go to hell?
No. They find a way to justify their racism using the Bible or some other bull they pulled out of their asses.
The manager of the cafe is playing it up for the cameras obviously. I actually like her lol. You gotta be tough to run a restaurant
That manager is awful
That's so boring. Nothing fun happens at these places, is all about the same thing over and over again. You tell them to f- off, nobody will and either nobody will tell you so. That's an empty life, isn't it ...
