In the uk once your car is over 3 years old if you don’t have it MOT, TAXED, INSURED it will show up on police ANPR cameras which automatically read the vehicle registration number and check it against the databases, if it sees a discrepancy the camera alerts the police driver to pull the vehicle over. After watching many of “Just Rolled In” videos of American vehicles that have been taken to dealerships for repairs I definitely think that America should have a mandatory vehicle inspection every year because wow some the vehicles you see on that and are then driven away without having any repairs done is just ridiculous.
In fact, most of the few US states that have these have been abolishing them in the 2010s and 2020s with some set to stop them in the next couple of years. Someone, somewhere, went “ya know what’d be nice? More death traps on the road!” And they were all like “yeah sounds good, let’s do that!”
@@ludo9234 when you see the amount that look ok on the outside but underneath is all just completely rotted away and they still drive away in them like wow!
On the MOT I was in America few years ago, and the person I was visiting had an almost foot-long inch crack in his car windscreen, which he said was there for some time. He seemed surprised when I told him in the UK that would automatically fail the MOT safety check and he wouldn't be able to drive it.
A cracked windscreen doesn’t necessarily mean MOT failure, depends where it is, you could technically have a crack that spans from one side to the other and it be fine.
@@Nikolai508if the windscreen is cracked it is considered as a motoring offense in the UK. If your garage is passing your MOT with one that spans the windscreen me personally I would be taking my car elsewhere.
National trust.. is a non profit charity organisation that manages old historical sights, buildings, estates, castles and maintains them otherwise they would fall into decline, and these sights are open as museums for all to enjoy.. and yes you can buy a season ticket, or just pay at the entrance
He certainly was rather introspective this episode. And seemed to recall a lot of stuff from previous videos too. Perhaps something has finally seeped in to his memory?
@@MINKIN2 I'm sure he only corrected him self because the video he was watching said it correctly. More than likely he will be back to saying it incorrectly on the very next video that has one of the English county names. After all he has been told how to say them in the comments over and over again and never corrected how he says them.
MOT's or the equivalent are mandatory in most European countries these days. However in Germany, it's compulsory every two years, although they were always a little more stringent. This was presumably because cars have become more reliable over the years. With the reliability and build quality of US cars, it would probably be too expensive, as the checks would be required once a month!!!
The MOT is a very European thing, that you should have a safe and clean car for the benefit of all. The USA values individual rights, in this cse to drive a dangerous poluting car.
In Europe you can lose your license plate if your car fails on the biannual compulsory inspections. If the car has any steering, braking, suspension issue, you can't even drive it home.
Born in the states and it always amuses me how Tyler makes such generalizations that "Americans think this" and it is soooooooo not true for me or people in my area. He forgets that this country is so diverse that his "typical" isnt universal. My trips to the UK and Europe in general have changed my life. I cannot wait to move to England and make that my normal as I do agree that there are a lot that the Brits have right and I need even if the world doesnt agree. 100% on Yorkshire tea, preferably Yorkshire Gold as there is a slight difference. As someone who has lived in the states and hated tea, this changed my life and I cannot go without a cuppa anymore. British TV is also great. My favorite nights are when my friends that live in the UK stream things they see as fun but they get to experience it like new thru introducing me to the shows and movies. The tone is different and I love it.
The other good thing about the MOT, if a car has 10 months MOT left on it, when you come to buy it, you can have more confidence in it if it only has 2 weeks left
The British Pub. Just to clear up a stereotype that I've heard other reactors saying. The stereotype is that we all finish work at 3 or 4pm and as a group traipse off to the pub, spend the evening there drinking alcohol and getting rat arsed. Some people do that, but certainly not the majority. In my experience, the majority of workers like to get home of an evening, see their family and have their evening meal, AS A FAMILY. I have known guys to get very angry with the bus driver because he couldn't get home in time to tuck his little kids up in bed and say goodnight to them. On this particular occasion, it wasn't the bus drivers fault. The traffic that evening had been a sheer farce due to roadworks in Nottingham. It doesn't take much to get Nottingham all snarled up, or Long Eaton, the town where I live.
Speak for yourself, mate! I live in Nottingham; it’s only the booze 🥃 that keeps me going-especially the existence under the current bloody government! 🤣
@newblackdog7827 Yeah, because the past government did such a good job. They didn't wreck the economy, cause Brexit, make immigration MUCH worse, cut EVERY public service and hand our taxes to their mates! Oh wait, they did all that and more, you absolute melt.
Here I am in Britain eating a Cornish Pasty and drinking a lovely cup of tea. I am a member of the National Trust and English Heritage. It helps for the up keep of our monuments for you Americans to enjoy.
We don’t only watch Uk and USA tv we have many European programmes .also Asian especially Indian tv shows.I think USA is so introspective they are not shown there is a whole world out there.
Don't confuse the poor boy! 😆 The only tea plantation in the UK is in Cornwall. Yorkshire tea is just a blend of imported tea originally devised to suit the water in Yorkshire.
Why would Tyler worry about vehicle safety? The U.S. government already does such a great job on food safety and health care, why would road safety be any different?
I recall a few years ago things changed due the the food health authorities. McDonald’s in the UK uses Irish beef for their burgers. The burgers chicken etc etc are the best of ingredients . So maccies here are more healthier than in the US. Which for us is good because it’s fast food which is not as good as home made food. That’s why I don’t mind having a maccies once in a while. X
@@MrsLynBMcDonald's in the UK uses British beef from British farms.. working in conjunction with Red Tractor and supplied from the meat processing plant in Scunthorpe... simultaneous Ireland does the same for Ireland, and they cross over with each other... let's not forget a few years ago when Ireland inevitably introduced Horse Meat through unscrupulous methods from a Polish supplier to Burger King.
4:00 that’s a service, we should also get the car serviced but it’s not mandatory, the MOT is a safety check including tyres, lights, emissions, seat belts etc
You asked within a few seconds of her saying MOT...if you stop pausing every few seconds and listen she explains. I love watching Americans do reaction videos to our British lives but youre the only one that constantly pauses without listening
@@davemason2604 I doubt it. Because he always pauses it. You’re completely right, MOT. PAUSE!!! It could mean anything you and I are sitting there saying Ministry of Transport and pulling our hair out because rather than pausing and googling just listen and he’d know a lot quicker x
So a National Trust pass. You can pay a monthly fee (not much, around £10) And you get access to historical buildings that wouldnt normally be accessible, and in return they repair and restore the buildings, keeping them maintained and available for future generations to experience, thus passing on that history. These places normally have lots of land and walks around them aswel, normally with beautiful gardens, woodlands and parks. Well worth the fee, as usually the price for visiting just one of these sites is around the same as your monthly fee, and you can visit as many as you like! So the only thing holding you back is how far away you want to travel
When I lived by the coast, National trust membership was worth it for free parking, at beautiful sites, when you want just an hour to walk the dog rather than pay for a full days parking
@@BetsyEimers Tires is right in America but Tyres in the UK But brake is is the thing that slows you down You don't want your brake to break otherwise it won't work!
In the Netherlands we have something similar as the MOT in the UK. The test is mandatory, but a positive result is needed to be alowed on the road afterwards. The test result is communicated with the agency that registers cars. That's what the police can check. If your car is spotted on a public road and the test results weren't good, you'll get a ticket.
Yes once your car/vehicle goes in to have a mot the garage does all the relevant tests. A list of things that needs doing on the car. If they deem the car to be unroadworthy without the relevant repairs being done by law you can’t drive your car away from the garage. If it’s just small things that are not deemed hazardous you can either have that garage do the repairs. Or you can take your car to a different garage. When/if you are pulled over by the police they know by your plate who the owner is. If it’s roadworthy. If it’s insured etc etc. just by putting the licence plate number into the computer they have that’s attached to the dvla. X
in the UK ,if your car fails the MOT , you have to get it fixed as soon as you can , a car without a valid MOT certificate , would invalidate your insurance cover ,and also you would be unable to road tax your car
National Trust is a conservation fund that is invested in maintiaining historical sites and houses, nature reservations ... we all visit these every year, kids holidays etc as most of these places are educational and culturally inspiring have fun events so they're a big thing over here. They are expensive for tourists so we value membership discounts shes talking about drama, kids shows, daytime tv music etc that are nit available abroad . we have loads of stuff you wont have seen but youtube is helping spread some of it the thing is the quality and lack of advertising.
MoT tests in here in Northern Ireland have always been carried out differently than in the rest of the UK. Tests in Northern Ireland are overseen by the Driver and Vehicle Agency (DVA), whereas the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVSA) is responsible for tests in the rest of the UK. The main difference between the two regimes is that tests in Northern Ireland UK, are carried out in government-run centres, whereas private mechanics in Britain can carry out tests. Also it’s every 4 years for cars in Northern Ireland. Cost of test is £38 , if car fails test,a re test costs £29.50. My wee mini just passed MOT and she’s almost 14 years old. To be on Road Legally, you need to Tax insure and a valid MOT for car.
It's not every 4 years in Northern Ireland. The MoT in Northern Ireland is carried out annually. Perhaps you meant it's mandatory once the car is 4yrs.old.
We do have great countryside…everywhere 91.6% is farming and wild areas in England. Best thing we are allowed free access to walk there. Respect it peeps we are 100% lucky.
British coffee drinker here so are most of my friends and family but a nice mug of tea is soothing on the stomach after a meal and more refreshing when you are sick than coffee. I don't really care about the brand and usually just but the best level supermartket own brand ones, but coffee has be a good quality ground or fresh beans. I had no idea you didn't have the equivalent to our MOTs for cars over the pond, not sure how safe on the roads I would feel.. Mind you, as a young adult in the 80s I knew a lot of people who did up old cars and it used to be so easy for them to game the MOT system getting some dangerous stuff past the testers. Thankfully it has all been really tightened up since then although we all groan when it comes to the yearly costs. The MOT is also useful these days when it comes to buying used cars as you can look up the car via it's number plate via various websites and see all the MOTs the car has been though, helps to see what issues they might have!
Hello Tyler, I've only recently found your videos and I'm really enjoying them! If you haven't already you should really do a video on the national trust, perhaps in a similar way to your top 10 castles video. For a small annual membership fee we can take our family of 8 to any of the national trust's stately homes, gardens and historical sites. Keep up the great work
After watching a few videos of Tyler, I now believe the Americans are not a lost cause, and they do have some hope. Keep learning Tyler and you will come to discover the US is not the centre of the world.
You obviously haven’t watched a lot of Tyler! He will be just as clueless tomorrow, you’ll hear “what wait, what” multiple times to information he should have absorbed hours before❤❤❤
If your vehicle fails it's MOT and requires repair usually you can take the vehicle back after and get it retested for free, until it passes or unless it is deemed condemned from road use
Pennsylvanian here. We've had mandatory annual inspections as far back as the 80s or even 70s and before that they were mandatory every six months. It does very state by state but I believe most states have mandatory inspections.
In New Zealand, vehicles 2000 and newer require a Warrant of Fitness (WoF) every 12 months, while those older than 2000 need it every 6 months. Important note: A valid WoF is mandatory for all vehicles plus you can't register your vehicle without one. (MOT) is short for Ministry of transport.
There are repercussions for having no MOT. Driving a vehicle without a valid MOT certificate in the UK is illegal and can result in a number of penalties, including: Fines: Up to £1,000 for driving without an MOT, and up to £2,500 if your vehicle is deemed dangerous by an MOT test Penalty points: Points on your driving license Vehicle seizure: Your vehicle could be seized Void insurance: Your insurance coverage may be invalid, which could leave you personally liable in an accident Disqualification: You could be disqualified from driving
Classic cars over 40 years old no longer need an MOT test - but I get mine done anyway because £54 is not a lot of money to have someone do a formal check on everything - I know other owners of classic cars do the same. But we have the infrastructure - namely approved inspectors (ordinary mechanics in ordinary garages who have the equipment and have been checked and certified) doing standard checks - takes about an hour and a fixed fee - currently £54. Good system. They may give failures for things that are definitely not safe and then "advisories" for things that are not unsafe but should be looked at. You cannot do your annual car tax unless it has a valid MOT (and has valid third party inurance) - its all held on a government computer somewhere.
MOT stands for Ministry Of Transport, a government ministry that existed immediately post war until 1970 when it was absorbed into the Environment Agency
We could start a very long list: America needs: (Sigh?!) ... Educating, Education, Healthcare (A proper one) Queues, MOT, Geographical knowledge, Pronunciation, Spelling, Driving lessons, Freedom - Right to Roam (minus the risk of being shot!) No pharmaceutical TV advertising, No excessive advertising during sporting events, No pride taken for _not knowing_ stuff, Quieter voices... (.... Others?)
You can buy Yorkshire teabags at Walmart in the US but for 240 teabags it’s like $27 !!! That’s super spendy! Here in the UK, we pay between £5-£6 for that many teabags.
UK has 5 channels that are available without streaming, BBC 1,BBC 2, ITV 1, Channel 4 and Channel 5. If you liked Fawlty Towers, the Porridge, Open All Hours and the Two Ronnie's. Long running soaps like Coronation Street, Emmerdale and Eastenders
Hi Tyler - The British pub is a large extension of your living room - so you can meet with family friends or just be by yourself - but cosy welcoming and eat drink chat - maybe watch some TV, sit by a fireside etc. dogs and kids welcome in most ❤ We also have a footpath and bridle way system around the country to walk and explore which is free to access the country side and coastal paths. And loads of these walks start and finish near a good pub 😂
The National Trust is a charity that protects old buildings so they don't get damaged, ruined or replaced. It's one of the reasons we have cool old stuff.
The National Trust also owns large areas that include ordinary housing. As an ex NT renter I can tell you they are terrible landlords, they think the laws don't apply to them, even planning and environmental laws.
8:05 Dude, I'm a truck driver that services that business, ie. Yorkshire Tea. Actual company name is Taylor's of Harrogate. Harrogate is town in Yorkshire. They have moved their operations to neighbouring town of Knaresborough, but for historical claims sakes they say "of Harrogate". I can hook you up with some Yorkshire Tea for you to try - for that purpose you'll have to set up PO box.
I think Thomsons is the only acceptable substitute for Yorkshire tea and it’s a lot cheaper. We get the blue packet though as we’re in Glasgow and it’s blended to suit the Scottish water.
Having now watched a few of your videos, I would love to see a video where you actually sit down and try some good English foods, from a traditional Sunday roast dinner all the way down to some of our snacks - and of course a proper cup of tea.
Best thing with the national trust passes, the proceeds go back into preserving and the upkeep of all these historical sites. Sites include venues such as stonehenge, castles, cathedrals, churches, old mills, monuments, museums etc etc.
What surprised me in the State of Colorado was that I had to renew the Licence Plate each year. In UK it is different, in that the registration plate belongs to the car from the manufacturer, through all the owner to the day it's gone to the tip. It is illegal to change your registration plate or cover it with a different one. Rules apply naturally to the front and the rear plates....again, in the UK you should have both of them on the car. Therefore it is the MOT annual test that allows you to continue to use that car if it passes or the necessary adjustments have been carried out and checked.
You need 4 things you need to be able to legally drive any vehicle in the UK. 1. MOT. 2. TAX. 3. INSURANCE. 4. PASS THE DRIVING TEST. Yorkshire tea is just one of many brand names of UK tea. I ONLY have " regular" TV stations on my TV. I don't subscribe to any streaming services at all. All I ever need is on FREEVIEW.
As a former mechanic I can say that a huge portion of the public completely neglected their cars. A scary number of cars have dangerous tyres, defective brakes, worn or broken suspension components, well overdue on services and therefore inspections...etc. The MOT is often the only time these issues are flagged and owners are forced to rectify these issues. If you had seen the condition of some of the cars we've seen fail the MOT tests you'd be shocked 😅 especially knowing they're out there on the same road as you, just waiting for one emergency manoeuvre to highlight all of the weak links in their ca, as they pile drive you into a tree.
Tyler, in seriousness, your reactions are very interesting to watch, because you really do think and reacts, giving your views value. Thank you, Tyler :D
It's great, but annoying at the time. My car recently failed its MOT because of a faulty shock absorber. I wouldn't have known, but we have the assurance of a mandatory check to ensure your vehicle is kept road worthy. Also, no MOT, your car isn't insured. In the UK the police can check the status of the MOT using number plate recognition NPR. In fairness it's brilliant. It should really be adopted! Its only annoying when your vehicle fails its MOT, only because of the cost of repairs. But at the end of the day if it stops killing someone it's well worth it.
wait AMerican doesn't have annual car inspections, as a Canadian that just blows my mind. We have them because we don't want some FLORIDA man killing our kids because he thinks his truck is safe enough. and doesn't need to fix those breaks or worn out ball joints.
All EU countries have an annual vehicle check, called differently, but in essence with same or very similar requirements. In Germany it's called a TÜV (after the name of the inspecting body, the Technischer Überprüfungs-Verein), in Austria it's called a "Pickerl", literally a sticker, because that's what you get when you pass. Those are not the official names - in Austria the official name is §57a inspection, but that's practically only used in official documents. Some states in the US also have them, but it's apparently not very well controlled or policed, so you end up with "Lick 'em & Stick 'em" workshops that will give you one if you pay them. Over here it's much more strict, inspection really means something. In Germany, the TÜV's only business are technical checks, they don't have any other motives. They don't offer repairs and they have no incentive to accept bribes. In Austria being able to do the inspection is a valuable asset for the workshops, and they are very careful not to lose it. They are subject to tests by the government, and if they are discovered to have awarded the Pickerl to a car that doesn't fulfil the requirements, they'll be fined and lose their inspection licence. It can suck sometimes. Often, not being able to pass an inspection is a death knell for a car if it can't be repaired economically. But on the whole, our rolling stock is at a high technical standard, and we don't have the rusted out deathtraps rolling around here.
Most if not all of European countries have mandatory regular vehicle technical inspections. All components on the vehicle must be approved for public road use. Once I was driving out of Dallas to the Southfork TV ranch and a wheel came off a vehicle in front of me. Luckily it missed my vehicle. Greetings from Switzerland!
I like your content quite a lot, but I don't ordinarily drop a 'like' on it - partly because I just don't drop likes often - but this time I will because you nailed "Yorksher". Thank you :D
The National Trust buys and maintains nationally important sites, and raises money from visitors. Its a British thing for families to visit national trust sites, eat in the cafes and browse in the National Trust shop. The most important sites are sometimes owned and managed by English Heritage instead.
Go to the Lake District…it’s stunning. You can stand by a lake, and look up at the view, and not hear a sound! It makes you feel euphoric! We stayed in a pod…look them up, they are fun, and closer to nature! 💙
It’s accepted that tourists want to visit the London landmarks, like Buckingham Palace, Windsor Castle, all locations where they may see the Royal Family, and that is for certain at certain times of the year like the Trooping of Colour, when at the end the whole family appear on the balcony of Buckingham Palace
The national trust is an organisation that buys old houses/buildings/gardens and then looks after them/maintains them and shows them to the public for a price. You can also subscribe as a member monthly or yearly. There is also English heritage a similar thing but they mostly have ruins e.g. old castles & stone monuments.
I live in Sweden and we have the same rules for what the British call MOT, If it's a factory new car you have to have it checked after 3 years, after the first inspection the second must be done after 2 years, and after that it's a yearly inspection (or rather every 14 month, so you have a 2 month grace period). I think this is very common in Europe as a whole, so it's not specific to the UK. I know it must be done in all the Nordic countries, Germany, Poland, Austria, Croatia, and of course the UK. National parks in Sweden is free to visit, we have the Freedom to Roam, we can go anywhere at any time, not in someone's backyard but we're free to go into any forest, even privately owned forests, pick berries, and mushrooms, and even put up a tent for the night. We can swim in any lake, if a farmer grows crops near a lake they are required to leave a path beside the crops so anyone can get to the water. Since the freedom to roam, and go anywhere within the country is part of our constitution, is the main reason why we couldn't have a lockdown during the pandemic. I apologize that my comment is about Sweden in a video that is about the UK. It's just didn't think they were that specific to the British island. The country side can be beautiful in all countries, even though it's not really a tourist destination anywhere.
I'm sorry, I'm atheist, but I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE the church architecture. Soooooooooooo beautiful and I really appreciate that. I LOVE Tudor buildings most. But in London in 1666 and soooo many beautiful buildings burnt and in the second world too............ It's such a shame 😔😔😔😔
I had the same issue with an exhaust pipe falling from a van in front of me on the motorway. I was on my motorbike and had to swerve left and right because it was bouncing over 2 carriages in rush-hour traffic. To this day i have no idea how I managed to avoid being hit by this spinning wheel of death, but it proved that i was right keeping a good distance between myself and any vehicle in front. Scary stuff.
From what I’m aware the national trust covers a lot of nature sites, historical sites museums and also their car parks et cetera so you don’t have to pay for any parking anywhere on their sites either
You need to get an MOT certificate each year. If it fails you can't drive your car. If you do then your insurance in invalid. You also have a yearly service on your car but that's a different thing. The MOT results are online and you can check the history of the MOT when you buy a secondhand car. A car can pass the MOT but it also gives a list of things which will need attention soon.
Interesting fact about UK MOTs if a car is registered before 1980 it doesn't need an MOT, you can still have it done for peace of mind. Also if your car is over 40 years old you can apply for it to be a historic vehicle for it to be exempt from MOTs
The National Trust (and English Heritage) are two charities that own and care for a large proportion of historical sites/buildings and landscapes in the UK. You can buy an annual membership that gives you free access to the sites, buildings and landscapes they own and manage.
@juliabuddle7927 Sorry, Now I feel guilty. As a honourary Welsh woman (my parents lived there for decades and I got married in a tiny Welsh church near Builth Wells). And HES in Scotland.
"waiing in a line" sounds like you are waiting in a line for the "firing squad". Whereas "waiting in a queue" is more passive . e,g, "waiting in the queue for the cash register at the supermarket".. "Waiting in the queue for a train tickets" "Hiya" - yep, thats is definately a very popular greeting. I guess that US equivalent is "hi'yall" - but as in her video "Hiya", is simply a nice way to get "Hi - Goodbye - Dont need to tell me about your day"
When making Tea don't forget to pre-warm the cup or teapot with some hot water, then empty that, put the Tea bags in, and add boiling water to brew; otherwise, the tea will be weak and not have the darker well brewed colour.
On 19:40 ish, a pub does make a lot of peoples day.. In some work places you even nip to the pub on your lunch break, or you meet people after work or go on your way home.. It's no wonder we're a country of very high alcohol consumption!
Here’s a thing that British people do that I can’t think of an equivalent of anywhere else and that’s giving directions using pubs So, you might say ‘straight down here then turn after the Royal Oak, you go straight for about a mile and you’ll pass the Fox and hounds on the left and the Black horse on the right. Turn first right and then right again just before the Ring O’ Bells and you’re there!’
even better is when people give directions my landmarks that are no longer there/renamed/ local knowledge only. 'Turn at old Tom's cottage; past the Kings Head [Neglecting to tell you it is now a Wetherspoons with a trendy new name]; left at the Royal Oak and then right at the Carpenter's Arms [not mentioning now an Indian restaurant]
MOT will check safety issues, tyres, brakes, lights, emissions etc and structural rust issues but your engine could be totally knackered and that is not part of the test. I drive older, almost end of life vehicles so getting a full years MOT really affects the value of the old bangers. Buy cheap, cross fingers, and hope for a full years driving out of it😃
In the UK we have the BBC and other terrestrial TV channels. Currently the majority do not have streaming. BBC (+ Radio and partially Channel 4) is paid for by the TV licence and advertising pays for ITV and Channel 5. The quality is much higher than US public broadcasting. BBC has produced many of the shows you will have heard of in the US.
My top 10 what the Whole World needs that only the UK has: 1. The Data Protection Act. (If anyone discloses/shares anyone's private data without permission (includes doxing), they will be sued into oblivion). 2. The NHS (it's not perfect, but having a checkup/trip to the hospital/having any type of surgery (including dental) doesn't brake the bank/budget or makes you homeless) including the 3% tax from your income that pays for it (Thus No Health Insurance costs/need). 3. Tax included in all of the prices: what you see on the Price label is what you pay. 4. The PAYE system. (Employees don't have to fill in complicated TAX forms every year) 5. British Sockets and Plugs. 6. Roundabouts on 90% of all T junctions and 100% of all cross roads. 7. The High Street (All Towns have one somewhere). 8. GCSE's. 9. No Aluminum Florid in the water supply. 10. Household Waste Recycling Centers in every city. (Take all of your non-commercial waste and have it recycled).
I once worked with an American and one of the things he wished the US had, is the BACS system in our Banks that allows for money to be easily transferred between various banks.
1. This came from EU ruling so other countries have it 2. Only we have the NHS; but lots of countries in Europe have a version of social healthcare provision 3. not just UK 4. ditto 5. ok yes to that as UK only 6. Only if you live in a 1960s /70s 'New Town' who embraced the roundabout for every opportunity esp the mini form. And Roundabouts exist in other countries 7. The High Street = Main street USA. It is normal to have gathered part of a community where business happens. 8. Not sure on this one, we do have exams at 16 and again at 18. Largely based on the idea of leaving school at 16 after those exams, and the next 2 years as voluntary for the higher qualification, and that we specialise in the A level years (or NVQs etc) Some other countries expect a full range of core subjects up to 18. 9. take your word on that 10. There are certainly other European countries that have better recycling provision than UK; and here it can vary across different local authorities
The National Trust buys old buildings, land, castles, any place of historical value that needs to he saved. They preserve it for future generations. Your annual ticket purchase allows for free parking at these places too. It's well worth a tourist buying one even if you aren't staying a year. You could get your monies worth after visiting just a few places.
The great thing about the British countryside is that nothing is more than a 15 hour drive. Normally way less than that, 15 hours is the time it takes to get from lands end to john o groats which is the two furthest points from eachother in the uk. But unless you live in the very north of Scotland or very southwestern tip of Cornwall drives to most places are 3-8 hours to go see something.
Commercial Lorrie’s and trucks have a very stringent test every year, it’s called plating as every commercial vehicle used to have a metal plate attached to show it was roadworthy. I believe this may now be electronic
The National Trust looks after over 500 houses, gardens, coastlines and countryside, most of them historic in some sense. You pay like a subscription or membership fee, and have free access to all those sites for a year, including free parking. These sites are all around the UK.
America has some wonderful countryside views, but you do have to travel often to see it, Britain being a small country means within a short hour (accounting for London here with time) you can be deep in the countryside with green flowing hills and vales. Most pubs here in the UK today are also restaurants and can attain a good meal in them, many pubs have become very Americanised and serve just as bars with fast food and no longer have the pub culture to them. But then the UK has pubs still operating older than the USA being founded as a land mass. The MOT costs today a £54.85 or 69.53 usd. It is a legal requirement for all motor vehicles and I've been in one watching my cars test when the mechanic called me over to see how dangerous the car he just failed was, the front floor was two pieces of cardboard and when he knocked out all the rust spots the drivers seat fell onto the ground. hence the car wasn't allowed to leave the MOT centre. The person who used to do my MOT used to take extra care and even give advice on things that were not part of the MOT, but would require changing soon, remembering fore warned is fore armed. But In the US you can drive with no bonnet cover for the engine, where here you would get pulled over and booked for dangerous vehicle on the roadway.
I’m an English ex Pat living in Canada, I’m a retired Police Officer and in Canada I often see vehicles that would never meet the MOT standards under legislation called The Construction and Use regulations. Those vehicles would immediately be taken off the road by any officer on patrol.
British TV shows, back in the day Tyler, you could watch many on PBS, especially on weekends. British TV, comedy, drama, mysteries, all the best shows!!!! It was my favourite channel from my early teens!!!!!
Yorkshire Tea relates to (the brew: But also...), the county of Yorkshire (4 areas - possibly like small states from the USA - North, South, East and West, colloquially known as Yorkshire ), as locally we call it "Gods County", as the natural landscapes are beautiful.
With the MOT test, they only inspect items that relate to your safety and other people, brakes, steering, suspension, air bags and seatbelts mainly, as far as oil changes and timing chains etc they don’t look at as if they went wrong you aren’t going to kill yourself or anyone else, so while it is the government making sure you take care of your car it’s only from a safety of all road users point of view, if your engine seized up due to bad maintenance then the only thing you’re going to hurt is your bank balance 😂
it wouldn't be "youre all sorted", or any short sentence that she was speaking of, just the word sorted alone >fixed an item, sorted. >agreed where to meet someone, sorted. >settled a debt, sorted. >finished packing the suitcase for your holiday, sorted. it works in any place where gesturing with a thumbs-up would work, as its essentially the same thing
If you've ever tried tea made in a US or sadly Canadian restaurant or cafe, you'll understand why tea is not popular there. Tea is made by pouring hot, NOT boiling water, into an ice cold metal pot and taken to you with a tiny tea bag sitting on the side, for you to put into the now warm water to make your cuppa. I am a tea drinker living in Canada and I never have tea out. Canadians who will still drink the tea here or in the US, have to remember that in the US, they have to ask for 'hot tea' as ordering just 'tea' will get you that icey stuff!
In Spain it also exists.my son is an inspector ,and they check the cars ,motorbikes,lorries,vans .cars are once a year and vans and lorries are every 6 months.
Yes, TV is a thing over here. We do also watch and stream stuff on Netflix, Hula, Disney, Prime etc, but we do have a few terrestrial channels, and I'm told, they do have some good programmes on. We do get American shows over here, but also obviously a lot of British stuff.
In the uk once your car is over 3 years old if you don’t have it MOT, TAXED, INSURED it will show up on police ANPR cameras which automatically read the vehicle registration number and check it against the databases, if it sees a discrepancy the camera alerts the police driver to pull the vehicle over.
After watching many of “Just Rolled In” videos of American vehicles that have been taken to dealerships for repairs I definitely think that America should have a mandatory vehicle inspection every year because wow some the vehicles you see on that and are then driven away without having any repairs done is just ridiculous.
i am suprised that it has not been done it as imagine the money and business it would bring in
In fact, most of the few US states that have these have been abolishing them in the 2010s and 2020s with some set to stop them in the next couple of years.
Someone, somewhere, went “ya know what’d be nice? More death traps on the road!” And they were all like “yeah sounds good, let’s do that!”

Just not having one of mot tax or insurance is enough to get you pulled
On the MOT I was in America few years ago, and the person I was visiting had an almost foot-long inch crack in his car windscreen, which he said was there for some time. He seemed surprised when I told him in the UK that would automatically fail the MOT safety check and he wouldn't be able to drive it.
A cracked windscreen doesn’t necessarily mean MOT failure, depends where it is, you could technically have a crack that spans from one side to the other and it be fine.
@@Nikolai508if the windscreen is cracked it is considered as a motoring offense in the UK. If your garage is passing your MOT with one that spans the windscreen me personally I would be taking my car elsewhere.
@@Nikolai508 are you sure about that?
It might not even last until the MOT, that's the kind of thing that would get you pulled over by the police

Indeed. One in a blue moon......
MOT's or the equivalent are mandatory in most European countries these days. However in Germany, it's compulsory every two years, although they were always a little more stringent. This was presumably because cars have become more reliable over the years. With the reliability and build quality of US cars, it would probably be too expensive, as the checks would be required once a month!!!
The MOT is a very European thing, that you should have a safe and clean car for the benefit of all. The USA values individual rights, in this cse to drive a dangerous poluting car.
Car inspection is mandatory in most of Europe
In Europe you can lose your license plate if your car fails on the biannual compulsory inspections.
If the car has any steering, braking, suspension issue, you can't even drive it home.
Europe? UK is in Europe so its an annual test!!
@@debzlynn3672 In Hungary cars less than 10 years old have to be inspected every second year.
Older cars have to be inspected annually.
Uk is not in the EU @@debzlynn3672
The irony of the MOT test is that MOT is short for Ministry of Transport, a government department that no longer exists.

Born in the states and it always amuses me how Tyler makes such generalizations that "Americans think this" and it is soooooooo not true for me or people in my area. He forgets that this country is so diverse that his "typical" isnt universal.
My trips to the UK and Europe in general have changed my life. I cannot wait to move to England and make that my normal as I do agree that there are a lot that the Brits have right and I need even if the world doesnt agree.
100% on Yorkshire tea, preferably Yorkshire Gold as there is a slight difference. As someone who has lived in the states and hated tea, this changed my life and I cannot go without a cuppa anymore.
British TV is also great. My favorite nights are when my friends that live in the UK stream things they see as fun but they get to experience it like new thru introducing me to the shows and movies. The tone is different and I love it.
The other good thing about the MOT, if a car has 10 months MOT left on it, when you come to buy it, you can have more confidence in it if it only has 2 weeks left
I sill make tea in a tea pot with loose tea. that's the perfect way to have a proper brew.

The British Pub. Just to clear up a stereotype that I've heard other reactors saying. The stereotype is that we all finish work at 3 or 4pm and as a group traipse off to the pub, spend the evening there drinking alcohol and getting rat arsed. Some people do that, but certainly not the majority. In my experience, the majority of workers like to get home of an evening, see their family and have their evening meal, AS A FAMILY. I have known guys to get very angry with the bus driver because he couldn't get home in time to tuck his little kids up in bed and say goodnight to them. On this particular occasion, it wasn't the bus drivers fault. The traffic that evening had been a sheer farce due to roadworks in Nottingham. It doesn't take much to get Nottingham all snarled up, or Long Eaton, the town where I live.
Speak for yourself, mate! I live in Nottingham; it’s only the booze 🥃 that keeps me going-especially the existence under the current bloody government! 🤣
Nottingham traffic is definitely bad at times. Long Eaton not soooo bad, though the A52 can get snarled up at times, for sure!

Why would Tyler worry about vehicle safety? The U.S. government already does such a great job on food safety and health care, why would road safety be any different?
Yes you need to get a science book with all the elements to find out what is in the US McDonald’s French Fries
I recall a few years ago things changed due the the food health authorities. McDonald’s in the UK uses Irish beef for their burgers. The burgers chicken etc etc are the best of ingredients . So maccies here are more healthier than in the US. Which for us is good because it’s fast food which is not as good as home made food. That’s why I don’t mind having a maccies once in a while. X
@@MrsLynBMcDonald's in the UK uses British beef from British farms.. working in conjunction with Red Tractor and supplied from the meat processing plant in Scunthorpe... simultaneous Ireland does the same for Ireland, and they cross over with each other... let's not forget a few years ago when Ireland inevitably introduced Horse Meat through unscrupulous methods from a Polish supplier to Burger King.

So a National Trust pass.
You can pay a monthly fee (not much, around £10)
And you get access to historical buildings that wouldnt normally be accessible, and in return they repair and restore the buildings, keeping them maintained and available for future generations to experience, thus passing on that history.
These places normally have lots of land and walks around them aswel, normally with beautiful gardens, woodlands and parks.
Well worth the fee, as usually the price for visiting just one of these sites is around the same as your monthly fee, and you can visit as many as you like! So the only thing holding you back is how far away you want to travel
When I lived by the coast, National trust membership was worth it for free parking, at beautiful sites, when you want just an hour to walk the dog rather than pay for a full days parking
We have MOT in the Netherlands as well. We call it APK. You don't want cars with bad breaks or tires in traffic.
Brakes or tyres 😉
@@Maddog-69 Thanx! Not my native language, so any correction to improve my english is welcome. 👍.
@@BetsyEimers Tires is right in America but Tyres in the UK
But brake is is the thing that slows you down
You don't want your brake to break otherwise it won't work!
Same in Ireland. It's called the N.C.T. National Car Test.
In the Netherlands we have something similar as the MOT in the UK. The test is mandatory, but a positive result is needed to be alowed on the road afterwards. The test result is communicated with the agency that registers cars. That's what the police can check. If your car is spotted on a public road and the test results weren't good, you'll get a ticket.
Yes once your car/vehicle goes in to have a mot the garage does all the relevant tests. A list of things that needs doing on the car. If they deem the car to be unroadworthy without the relevant repairs being done by law you can’t drive your car away from the garage. If it’s just small things that are not deemed hazardous you can either have that garage do the repairs. Or you can take your car to a different garage. When/if you are pulled over by the police they know by your plate who the owner is. If it’s roadworthy. If it’s insured etc etc. just by putting the licence plate number into the computer they have that’s attached to the dvla. X
When I was in Massachusetts you had to get your vehicle inspected annually, there was an inspection sticker on your windshield.
in the UK ,if your car fails the MOT , you have to get it fixed as soon as you can , a car without a valid MOT certificate , would invalidate your insurance cover ,and also you would be unable to road tax your car
National Trust is a conservation fund that is invested in maintiaining historical sites and houses, nature reservations ... we all visit these every year, kids holidays etc as most of these places are educational and culturally inspiring have fun events so they're a big thing over here.
They are expensive for tourists so we value membership discounts

MoT tests in here in Northern Ireland have always been carried out differently than in the rest of the UK. Tests in Northern Ireland are overseen by the Driver and Vehicle Agency (DVA), whereas the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVSA) is responsible for tests in the rest of the UK.
The main difference between the two regimes is that tests in Northern Ireland UK, are carried out in government-run centres, whereas private mechanics in Britain can carry out tests. Also it’s every 4 years for cars in Northern Ireland. Cost of test is £38 , if car fails test,a re test costs £29.50.
My wee mini just passed MOT and she’s almost 14 years old.
To be on Road Legally, you need to Tax insure and a valid MOT for car.
It's not every 4 years in Northern Ireland. The MoT in Northern Ireland is carried out annually. Perhaps you meant it's mandatory once the car is 4yrs.old.
We do have great countryside…everywhere 91.6% is farming and wild areas in England. Best thing we are allowed free access to walk there. Respect it peeps we are 100% lucky.
The national trust own a lot of farm land and parks which you don't need to pay to access
British coffee drinker here so are most of my friends and family but a nice mug of tea is soothing on the stomach after a meal and more refreshing when you are sick than coffee. I don't really care about the brand and usually just but the best level supermartket own brand ones, but coffee has be a good quality ground or fresh beans.
I had no idea you didn't have the equivalent to our MOTs for cars over the pond, not sure how safe on the roads I would feel.. Mind you, as a young adult in the 80s I knew a lot of people who did up old cars and it used to be so easy for them to game the MOT system getting some dangerous stuff past the testers. Thankfully it has all been really tightened up since then although we all groan when it comes to the yearly costs.
The MOT is also useful these days when it comes to buying used cars as you can look up the car via it's number plate via various websites and see all the MOTs the car has been though, helps to see what issues they might have!
Hello Tyler, I've only recently found your videos and I'm really enjoying them! If you haven't already you should really do a video on the national trust, perhaps in a similar way to your top 10 castles video.

If your vehicle fails it's MOT and requires repair usually you can take the vehicle back after and get it retested for free, until it passes or unless it is deemed condemned from road use
Pennsylvanian here. We've had mandatory annual inspections as far back as the 80s or even 70s and before that they were mandatory every six months. It does very state by state but I believe most states have mandatory inspections.
In New Zealand, vehicles 2000 and newer require a Warrant of Fitness (WoF) every 12 months, while those older than 2000 need it every 6 months. Important note: A valid WoF is mandatory for all vehicles plus you can't register your vehicle without one. (MOT) is short for Ministry of transport.
There are repercussions for having no MOT. Driving a vehicle without a valid MOT certificate in the UK is illegal and can result in a number of penalties, including:
Fines: Up to £1,000 for driving without an MOT, and up to £2,500 if your vehicle is deemed dangerous by an MOT test
Penalty points: Points on your driving license
Vehicle seizure: Your vehicle could be seized
Void insurance: Your insurance coverage may be invalid, which could leave you personally liable in an accident
Disqualification: You could be disqualified from driving
Classic cars over 40 years old no longer need an MOT test - but I get mine done anyway because £54 is not a lot of money to have someone do a formal check on everything - I know other owners of classic cars do the same. But we have the infrastructure - namely approved inspectors (ordinary mechanics in ordinary garages who have the equipment and have been checked and certified) doing standard checks - takes about an hour and a fixed fee - currently £54. Good system. They may give failures for things that are definitely not safe and then "advisories" for things that are not unsafe but should be looked at. You cannot do your annual car tax unless it has a valid MOT (and has valid third party inurance) - its all held on a government computer somewhere.
MOT stands for Ministry Of Transport, a government ministry that existed immediately post war until 1970 when it was absorbed into the Environment Agency
Judging by the state of most of the cars I see on "just rolled in", the USA needs an MOT style test!

8:05 Dude, I'm a truck driver that services that business, ie. Yorkshire Tea. Actual company name is Taylor's of Harrogate. Harrogate is town in Yorkshire. They have moved their operations to neighbouring town of Knaresborough, but for historical claims sakes they say "of Harrogate". I can hook you up with some Yorkshire Tea for you to try - for that purpose you'll have to set up PO box.
Send him some THOMSONS TEA produced in Ireland i have been drinking it for about twenty years now and would buy nothing else. PS the red packet.
I think Thomsons is the only acceptable substitute for Yorkshire tea and it’s a lot cheaper. We get the blue packet though as we’re in Glasgow and it’s blended to suit the Scottish water.
Hell, I'll set one up if it means free tea bags!
Maybe Tyler could get in contact with my dear old friend Spiffing Brit as he swears by a good cupppa of Yorkshire Tea when gaming
He never reads/responds to the comments even though he asks for them. It's all for the algorithm, the more comments, the more money he gets.
Having now watched a few of your videos, I would love to see a video where you actually sit down and try some good English foods, from a traditional Sunday roast dinner all the way down to some of our snacks - and of course a proper cup of tea.
Best thing with the national trust passes, the proceeds go back into preserving and the upkeep of all these historical sites. Sites include venues such as stonehenge, castles, cathedrals, churches, old mills, monuments, museums etc etc.
What surprised me in the State of Colorado was that I had to renew the Licence Plate each year. In UK it is different, in that the registration plate belongs to the car from the manufacturer, through all the owner to the day it's gone to the tip. It is illegal to change your registration plate or cover it with a different one. Rules apply naturally to the front and the rear plates....again, in the UK you should have both of them on the car. Therefore it is the MOT annual test that allows you to continue to use that car if it passes or the necessary adjustments have been carried out and checked.
You need 4 things you need to be able to legally drive any vehicle in the UK.

2. TAX.
3. INSURANCE.

There's a lot of untrue stereotypes about British people, but the British loving tea is absolutely true.
As a former mechanic I can say that a huge portion of the public completely neglected their cars. A scary number of cars have dangerous tyres, defective brakes, worn or broken suspension components, well overdue on services and therefore inspections...etc. The MOT is often the only time these issues are flagged and owners are forced to rectify these issues. If you had seen the condition of some of the cars we've seen fail the MOT tests you'd be shocked 😅 especially knowing they're out there on the same road as you, just waiting for one emergency manoeuvre to highlight all of the weak links in their ca, as they pile drive you into a tree.

It's great, but annoying at the time. My car recently failed its MOT because of a faulty shock absorber. I wouldn't have known, but we have the assurance of a mandatory check to ensure your vehicle is kept road worthy. Also, no MOT, your car isn't insured. In the UK the police can check the status of the MOT using number plate recognition NPR. In fairness it's brilliant. It should really be adopted!
Its only annoying when your vehicle fails its MOT, only because of the cost of repairs. But at the end of the day if it stops killing someone it's well worth it.
wait AMerican doesn't have annual car inspections, as a Canadian that just blows my mind. We have them because we don't want some FLORIDA man killing our kids because he thinks his truck is safe enough. and doesn't need to fix those breaks or worn out ball joints.
Sexist
All EU countries have an annual vehicle check, called differently, but in essence with same or very similar requirements. In Germany it's called a TÜV (after the name of the inspecting body, the Technischer Überprüfungs-Verein), in Austria it's called a "Pickerl", literally a sticker, because that's what you get when you pass. Those are not the official names - in Austria the official name is §57a inspection, but that's practically only used in official documents.
Some states in the US also have them, but it's apparently not very well controlled or policed, so you end up with "Lick 'em & Stick 'em" workshops that will give you one if you pay them. Over here it's much more strict, inspection really means something. In Germany, the TÜV's only business are technical checks, they don't have any other motives. They don't offer repairs and they have no incentive to accept bribes. In Austria being able to do the inspection is a valuable asset for the workshops, and they are very careful not to lose it. They are subject to tests by the government, and if they are discovered to have awarded the Pickerl to a car that doesn't fulfil the requirements, they'll be fined and lose their inspection licence.
It can suck sometimes. Often, not being able to pass an inspection is a death knell for a car if it can't be repaired economically. But on the whole, our rolling stock is at a high technical standard, and we don't have the rusted out deathtraps rolling around here.
Most if not all of European countries have mandatory regular vehicle technical inspections. All components on the vehicle must be approved for public road use.

The National Trust buys and maintains nationally important sites, and raises money from visitors. Its a British thing for families to visit national trust sites, eat in the cafes and browse in the National Trust shop.
The most important sites are sometimes owned and managed by English Heritage instead.

It’s accepted that tourists want to visit the London landmarks, like Buckingham Palace, Windsor Castle, all locations where they may see the Royal Family, and that is for certain at certain times of the year like the Trooping of Colour, when at the end the whole family appear on the balcony of Buckingham Palace
The national trust is an organisation that buys old houses/buildings/gardens and then looks after them/maintains them and shows them to the public for a price. You can also subscribe as a member monthly or yearly. There is also English heritage a similar thing but they mostly have ruins e.g. old castles & stone monuments.
State car inspection we have it in N.C.
Basically, in the UK we can't put a V8 into a wheelbarrow & then hop into it & off to Walmart! 😅
I live in Sweden and we have the same rules for what the British call MOT, If it's a factory new car you have to have it checked after 3 years, after the first inspection the second must be done after 2 years, and after that it's a yearly inspection (or rather every 14 month, so you have a 2 month grace period). I think this is very common in Europe as a whole, so it's not specific to the UK. I know it must be done in all the Nordic countries, Germany, Poland, Austria, Croatia, and of course the UK.
National parks in Sweden is free to visit, we have the Freedom to Roam, we can go anywhere at any time, not in someone's backyard but we're free to go into any forest, even privately owned forests, pick berries, and mushrooms, and even put up a tent for the night. We can swim in any lake, if a farmer grows crops near a lake they are required to leave a path beside the crops so anyone can get to the water. Since the freedom to roam, and go anywhere within the country is part of our constitution, is the main reason why we couldn't have a lockdown during the pandemic.
I apologize that my comment is about Sweden in a video that is about the UK. It's just didn't think they were that specific to the British island. The country side can be beautiful in all countries, even though it's not really a tourist destination anywhere.
I'm sorry, I'm atheist, but I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE the church architecture. Soooooooooooo beautiful and I really appreciate that. I LOVE Tudor buildings most. But in London in 1666 and soooo many beautiful buildings burnt and in the second world too............ It's such a shame 😔😔😔😔
Why apologize for being an atheist?
Being an atheist is not something you need to apologize for. It is your loss, that's all.
Ditto.
I had the same issue with an exhaust pipe falling from a van in front of me on the motorway. I was on my motorbike and had to swerve left and right because it was bouncing over 2 carriages in rush-hour traffic. To this day i have no idea how I managed to avoid being hit by this spinning wheel of death, but it proved that i was right keeping a good distance between myself and any vehicle in front. Scary stuff.
From what I’m aware the national trust covers a lot of nature sites, historical sites museums and also their car parks et cetera so you don’t have to pay for any parking anywhere on their sites either
You need to get an MOT certificate each year. If it fails you can't drive your car. If you do then your insurance in invalid. You also have a yearly service on your car but that's a different thing.
The MOT results are online and you can check the history of the MOT when you buy a secondhand car. A car can pass the MOT but it also gives a list of things which will need attention soon.
MOT checks include -all lights ,indicators , brake pads and discs, brake pipes for corrosion , exhaust , windscreen , seat belts , tyres - or wear ( below 1.6 mm is illegal) , wheel bearings , steering ,
Interesting fact about UK MOTs if a car is registered before 1980 it doesn't need an MOT, you can still have it done for peace of mind. Also if your car is over 40 years old you can apply for it to be a historic vehicle for it to be exempt from MOTs
The National Trust (and English Heritage) are two charities that own and care for a large proportion of historical sites/buildings and landscapes in the UK. You can buy an annual membership that gives you free access to the sites, buildings and landscapes they own and manage.
Concisely and clearly put! Don't forget Cadw in Wales if you want to visit the largest group of castles pretty well anywhere! 🏴
@juliabuddle7927 Sorry, Now I feel guilty. As a honourary Welsh woman (my parents lived there for decades and I got married in a tiny Welsh church near Builth Wells).
And HES in Scotland.
Pubs being wholesome depends on the pub.
"waiing in a line" sounds like you are waiting in a line for the "firing squad". Whereas "waiting in a queue" is more passive . e,g, "waiting in the queue for the cash register at the supermarket".. "Waiting in the queue for a train tickets"
"Hiya" - yep, thats is definately a very popular greeting. I guess that US equivalent is "hi'yall" - but as in her video "Hiya", is simply a nice way to get "Hi - Goodbye - Dont need to tell me about your day"
Tyler Rumple, “what! Wait, what?” Will be on his grave stone❤❤❤😂😂😂
TV. I think she is referring to bbc/Itv etc. which are now allowing streaming and catch up/
When making Tea don't forget to pre-warm the cup or teapot with some hot water, then empty that, put the Tea bags in, and add boiling water to brew; otherwise, the tea will be weak and not have the darker well brewed colour.
Yes, check out The Cotswolds, The Peak District,The Lake District, many more areas of natural beauty
On 19:40 ish, a pub does make a lot of peoples day.. In some work places you even nip to the pub on your lunch break, or you meet people after work or go on your way home.. It's no wonder we're a country of very high alcohol consumption!
Here’s a thing that British people do that I can’t think of an equivalent of anywhere else and that’s giving directions using pubs
So, you might say ‘straight down here then turn after the Royal Oak, you go straight for about a mile and you’ll pass the Fox and hounds on the left and the Black horse on the right. Turn first right and then right again just before the Ring O’ Bells and you’re there!’
even better is when people give directions my landmarks that are no longer there/renamed/ local knowledge only. 'Turn at old Tom's cottage; past the Kings Head [Neglecting to tell you it is now a Wetherspoons with a trendy new name]; left at the Royal Oak and then right at the Carpenter's Arms [not mentioning now an Indian restaurant]
MOT will check safety issues, tyres, brakes, lights, emissions etc and structural rust issues but your engine could be totally knackered and that is not part of the test.
I drive older, almost end of life vehicles so getting a full years MOT really affects the value of the old bangers. Buy cheap, cross fingers, and hope for a full years driving out of it😃
In the UK we have the BBC and other terrestrial TV channels. Currently the majority do not have streaming. BBC (+ Radio and partially Channel 4) is paid for by the TV licence and advertising pays for ITV and Channel 5. The quality is much higher than US public broadcasting. BBC has produced many of the shows you will have heard of in the US.
My top 10 what the Whole World needs that only the UK has:
1. The Data Protection Act. (If anyone discloses/shares anyone's private data without permission (includes doxing), they will be sued into oblivion).
2. The NHS (it's not perfect, but having a checkup/trip to the hospital/having any type of surgery (including dental) doesn't brake the bank/budget or makes you homeless) including the 3% tax from your income that pays for it (Thus No Health Insurance costs/need).
3. Tax included in all of the prices: what you see on the Price label is what you pay.
4. The PAYE system. (Employees don't have to fill in complicated TAX forms every year)
5. British Sockets and Plugs.
6. Roundabouts on 90% of all T junctions and 100% of all cross roads.
7. The High Street (All Towns have one somewhere).
8. GCSE's.
9. No Aluminum Florid in the water supply.
10. Household Waste Recycling Centers in every city. (Take all of your non-commercial waste and have it recycled).
I once worked with an American and one of the things he wished the US had, is the BACS system in our Banks that allows for money to be easily transferred between various banks.
1. This came from EU ruling so other countries have it
2. Only we have the NHS; but lots of countries in Europe have a version of social healthcare provision
3. not just UK
4. ditto
5. ok yes to that as UK only
6. Only if you live in a 1960s /70s 'New Town' who embraced the roundabout for every opportunity esp the mini form. And Roundabouts exist in other countries
7. The High Street = Main street USA. It is normal to have gathered part of a community where business happens.
8. Not sure on this one, we do have exams at 16 and again at 18. Largely based on the idea of leaving school at 16 after those exams, and the next 2 years as voluntary for the higher qualification, and that we specialise in the A level years (or NVQs etc) Some other countries expect a full range of core subjects up to 18.
9. take your word on that
10. There are certainly other European countries that have better recycling provision than UK; and here it can vary across different local authorities
The National Trust buys old buildings, land, castles, any place of historical value that needs to he saved. They preserve it for future generations. Your annual ticket purchase allows for free parking at these places too. It's well worth a tourist buying one even if you aren't staying a year. You could get your monies worth after visiting just a few places.
The great thing about the British countryside is that nothing is more than a 15 hour drive. Normally way less than that, 15 hours is the time it takes to get from lands end to john o groats which is the two furthest points from eachother in the uk. But unless you live in the very north of Scotland or very southwestern tip of Cornwall drives to most places are 3-8 hours to go see something.
I drink Yorkshire Tea Gold which is a pretty good everyday tea. Twinings is very good also, especially Twinings Earl Grey.
Commercial Lorrie’s and trucks have a very stringent test every year, it’s called plating as every commercial vehicle used to have a metal plate attached to show it was roadworthy. I believe this may now be electronic
imagine you lose the remote, you and your friend look for the remote then you find the remote: "sorted"
Yup, as in "the problem is now sorted"
The National Trust looks after over 500 houses, gardens, coastlines and countryside, most of them historic in some sense. You pay like a subscription or membership fee, and have free access to all those sites for a year, including free parking. These sites are all around the UK.
Favourite ‘American reacts’ channel.
America has some wonderful countryside views, but you do have to travel often to see it, Britain being a small country means within a short hour (accounting for London here with time) you can be deep in the countryside with green flowing hills and vales.
Most pubs here in the UK today are also restaurants and can attain a good meal in them, many pubs have become very Americanised and serve just as bars with fast food and no longer have the pub culture to them. But then the UK has pubs still operating older than the USA being founded as a land mass.
The MOT costs today a £54.85 or 69.53 usd. It is a legal requirement for all motor vehicles and I've been in one watching my cars test when the mechanic called me over to see how dangerous the car he just failed was, the front floor was two pieces of cardboard and when he knocked out all the rust spots the drivers seat fell onto the ground. hence the car wasn't allowed to leave the MOT centre. The person who used to do my MOT used to take extra care and even give advice on things that were not part of the MOT, but would require changing soon, remembering fore warned is fore armed. But In the US you can drive with no bonnet cover for the engine, where here you would get pulled over and booked for dangerous vehicle on the roadway.
I’m an English ex Pat living in Canada, I’m a retired Police Officer and in Canada I often see vehicles that would never meet the MOT standards under legislation called The Construction and Use regulations. Those vehicles would immediately be taken off the road by any officer on patrol.
British TV shows, back in the day Tyler, you could watch many on PBS, especially on weekends. British TV, comedy, drama, mysteries, all the best shows!!!! It was my favourite channel from my early teens!!!!!
Yorkshire Tea relates to (the brew: But also...), the county of Yorkshire (4 areas - possibly like small states from the USA - North, South, East and West, colloquially known as Yorkshire ), as locally we call it "Gods County", as the natural landscapes are beautiful.
With the MOT test, they only inspect items that relate to your safety and other people, brakes, steering, suspension, air bags and seatbelts mainly, as far as oil changes and timing chains etc they don’t look at as if they went wrong you aren’t going to kill yourself or anyone else, so while it is the government making sure you take care of your car it’s only from a safety of all road users point of view, if your engine seized up due to bad maintenance then the only thing you’re going to hurt is your bank balance 😂
The great thing about British TV is we get more program than advert in the same time period.
It costs about £50 an MOT test, not including fixing the faults. Re-tests are mostly free
it wouldn't be "youre all sorted", or any short sentence that she was speaking of, just the word sorted alone
>fixed an item, sorted.
>agreed where to meet someone, sorted.
>settled a debt, sorted.
>finished packing the suitcase for your holiday, sorted.
it works in any place where gesturing with a thumbs-up would work, as its essentially the same thing
If you've ever tried tea made in a US or sadly Canadian restaurant or cafe, you'll understand why tea is not popular there. Tea is made by pouring hot, NOT boiling water, into an ice cold metal pot and taken to you with a tiny tea bag sitting on the side, for you to put into the now warm water to make your cuppa. I am a tea drinker living in Canada and I never have tea out. Canadians who will still drink the tea here or in the US, have to remember that in the US, they have to ask for 'hot tea' as ordering just 'tea' will get you that icey stuff!
In Spain it also exists.my son is an inspector ,and they check the cars ,motorbikes,lorries,vans .cars are once a year and vans and lorries are every 6 months.
Yes, TV is a thing over here. We do also watch and stream stuff on Netflix, Hula, Disney, Prime etc, but we do have a few terrestrial channels, and I'm told, they do have some good programmes on. We do get American shows over here, but also obviously a lot of British stuff.
