      *Mini rant warning:
      So many reactors have no idea who someone’s talking about, or haven’t heard of something, but they won’t look it up, they ask you to let them know in the comments, but the explanation will be superfluous, coming after the fact, as they then can’t appreciate the rest of the video, or the humour because they just don’t know sometimes even one thing, that would have taken them 5 seconds to google, and would have totally changed how they enjoyed the video, and the quality of their reaction. Sorry 😅😂
      But yes, it’s such a nice change! 😄

      Cookies are normally soft and have filling ... Biscuit are hard

    • @JacknVictor
      @JacknVictor 3 месяца назад +3

      See, that is the difference. I'm glad there is someone else who understands.
      It's basically this. All cookies are biscuits, but not all biscuits are cookies. And also, in America, they used to be known as biscuits before they were called cookies, and that only changed when the dutch community brought a specific type of biscuit with them to the America's, and started using their word for that biscuit, which was the word 'koekje' and this over time got Americanised into the word 'cookie' and was then eventually a go to for any biscuit in America, other than their version of biscuits that are basically a type of scone. And in Britain we do infact have cookies, which are specifically a certain type of biscuit, usually a chewy kind containing chocolate chips, raisins or other similar little treats.
      It's the same thing where America in general think that french fries and British chips are the same thing. They may be made from the same ingredients cooked in a similar way, but they are a very different end result, and in Britain, they are very distinctly classed as different food items.
      If you buy a burger in Britain, you will typically get fries with it, not chips. If you go to buy fish and chips you will get chips and not French fries. French fries are potatoes that are thin cut, and fried quickly in very hot oil until a golden brown and crispy result is achieved, however, chips are thicker cut potato, slowly cooked in oil that isn't as hot as the french fries are cooked in, and are cooked until a more pale lightly golden colour, with slightly crispy outer, but softer and having a more light and fluffy texture inside. 2 totally different products that are very distinctive from each other and not the same.
      How disappointing it was to be taken out when in America to have fish and chips at a "Traditional" British American eatery, only for the British people working in there to actually be Americans doing an offensive non existent "English" accent that sounded more like a south African that had just had a stroke, and then to be served my fish and chips which was a piece of frozen, breadcrumb covered, non distinctive river fish that tasted muddy, I believe they said it was catfish afterwards, served with this anal delight, was a plate of McDonald's style french fries, half a slice of lemon, and for some weird reason, beetroot, lettuce and tomato wedges also joining them on the plate. Yeah, you know, served exactly how British fish and chips AREN'T served. The place was supposedly owned by British ex-pats. If they were, they should be ashamed of themselves. The worst part was being guilted in to leaving about a 30% tip on top of paying for that utter $hitefest, because I felt sorry for the servers and other staff knowing they don't get paid enough to live on, even though they had, to use an analogy ,served me $hit on a plate and told me it was caviar, and then, on top of doing this, had taken the Mickey out of my countries various proud accents in a way that would have made Dick Van Dyke cringe, right to my face, and smiled whilst doing so. And I still gave them a $25 tip.
      America turned out to not be the thing it had built up to be in my head since I was a kid, watching movies and TV from there. Turns out the the American dream is just that. But it is only the dream you have about the place in your head as a kid, and that dream, it's better than the actual reality of the place, which while it's not all bad, it can be maybe more of a nightmare than a dream at times.
      Nowhere is perfect. Britain has just as many faults, bad and good things. I just think in Britain we are more likely to admit that and maybe do something about it, where as America won't admit it has anything bad, it's all good, so no need to correct things like not paying wait staff properly, or supplying a better, tax funded medical system that is available to all no matter your status, or even admitting that gun control might need better restrictions placing on who can own them.
      Or admitting that their president had something medically and mentally wrong with him for at least the last 3 years, and keeping him in charge of the big red button. My gran had Alzheimer's. She had a big red button in her warden controlled apartment, that she would regularly press for no apparent reason. I'm just saying that surely Biden with his illness at his age shouldn't be left around any big red buttons. Unless it's one to call his carer to come change him after :$hitting his undies for the umpteenth time whilst on stage at some kind of world order meeting, whilst posing for photos, with all the other world leaders, wondering off spouting garbling gibberish about ice-creams.

      yeah but the issue in the whole country is, it doesnt snow often enough most places for the local council to buy snowploughs and maintain them. even if they did, the next time the 'low tax party' (we all know who that is) gets in locally, they cut the maintenance budget to cut council tax or road tax, then sell the machines before they become unsaleable either to fund some personal vanity project (like a new town hall office block) or just to cut more from council tax. so when it snows because there is little in the country where it doesnt snow often, the snow overwhelms the gritters and the country grinds to a halt over two or three inches which melt within a few days.

      ​@@davidhines7592the problem is more to do with the fact it's not cold enough here. In Scandanavia countries for example, it's well below freezing for much longer, the snow stays dry and powdery which is much safer to drive on. Also their population density is low so allows for slower driving without affecting the flow of traffic. Here the snow is wet and hovers around the freezing point, so slush turns to ice and makes driving treacherous. The population density in cities also means the amount of people suddenly driving slower causes major problems. As you say, the gritters etc then add even more of a problem on allowing it to build up in the first place.

    Co-op specifically isnt the point being made. In the UK you dont usually get zoning laws creating endless suburban spraw of just houses.

    Fyi, the #1 brand of crumpets is the brand Warburtons, who makes lots of different breads. It is just cooking them right, they take a while in the toaster, but best way to cook them evenly. You want them to go browner and crispy to touch on both sides, but not overly brown on the hole side. They are technically already cooked, but you are just crisping them up on the outside. It is easy to undercooked em you see if you've never done em, and they are doughy then , which you don't want.
    Then you can be generous with butter. A proper butter like Kerrygold

We do have nice areas, like the Peace Pagoda and Willen Lake for example. Plenty of green and rivers where you can take boat rides on long boats. And JJ you might be interested to know that our road system is based off of the LA system.
