As an American I find it very interesting to learn strange facts about Britain. Today I am very excited to learn about some crazy but true facts and statistics about British people. If you enjoyed the video feel free to leave a comment, like, or subscribe for more!
If you discount babies, infants, most children, and people who just don't like tea, there's something like 35 million tea drinkers in the UK. So that 165 million actually works out around 4-5 cups a day - which feels about right to me.
Elderly people drink a lot of tea/coffee.
A previous neighbour was 80 and got fed up making individual cups of tea every hour or so and instead made flasks of ~4 cups of tea at a time multiple times a day(so she was probably drinking 12 cups of tea a day).
I'm currently on my third mug of tea for today. That said, the mug holds about 4-5 'normal' cups of tea. *Edit - I guess it amounts to about 5-6 pints per day.
I agree, I drink about two or three, but my OH drinks about six.
No wonder you're a grumpy old git - you must be wired with caffeine!@@GrumpyOldGit-zk1kw
You tell him 😂 no one in particular
Taking the complimentary shampoo in hotels is not stealing! You've paid for it!
Exactly, that's literally the purpose of them and why they're so small... No point in leaving them for the next person
Its not stealing, if you pay for the room and its a single use container, the shampoo is yours.
It’s not always that good anyway so I never use it
@@susansmiles2242The cleaner will take it home.
Exactly! Should be the finest shampoo with the price of some hotel rooms!
Exactly what I was going to say. Taking something that you paid for is not stealing.
Also that figure includes all the shampoo etc that is used legitimately in the hotel.
Tea: anyone who prefers tea to coffee will drink tea at breakfast, mid morning, lunch, teatime (which is 4 to 5 pm, roughly), with the evening meal (any time from 6 to 9 pm) and possibly as a nightcap. This tea is drunk with a little cold milk and with or without sweetening according to taste. Contrary to popular misconception, British people do not generally sit down to dainty afternoon tea every day, not least because it's expensive and anyway you're at work.
Or just whenever tea is on offer, 2 or 3 one after the other, with biscuits. :)
I agree with this basic outline.
Often there will be a morning tea before the tea with breakfast.
It is also worth noting if yea is made in a pot, most will have at least 2 cups from the pot. If made in the cup, said cup will most likely be a mug, so probably 1.5 to 2 cups by volume.
I think this is often true for US coffee, if not from a Starbucks or similar, but the size of coffee from Starbuck USA is not what stats would count as a cup.
In Lancashire we sit down to afternoon tea & biscuits everyday, so speak for yourself.
@@stephenlee5929 true, a 'cup' is deceiving. The bigger the mug the better. I'm sure my usual mug could fit 2-3 'cups'.
@@madhatterline I measured my mug once. It's about 500ml. Pints of tea all round!
Bro you're not a bad egg for taking the shampoo in a hotel, you paid for the room it's yours
I'm a 75 year old Brit who drinks 10 to 12 mugs of tea a day. Each mug with 3 teaspoonful of sugar per mug, plus milk. I also have Baked Beans about 3 times a week and smoke 20 cigarettes a day. I am small slim and have a fantastic metabolism I think to support such a bad hammering to my body.
How have you still got teeth? 😮
You're not gonna make it to your 80s sorry lol
I'm 75, I don't need that many these days. I've still got two good incisors!@@phoenix-xu9xj
I know that, I should have died in my 50's! @@Ho_Lee_Fook
1 teaspoon = 4 grams of sugar. That's 40/48 grams of sugar you're having, if you drink alot of tea you might want to cut down to 1/½ per cup or you might end up losing a few toes later on in life
The accent you did was what we call a Dick van Dyke. Whoever taught him that accent had never met anyone English.
It's weird because I believe he is English by birth but moved to the US when very young. Maybe his parents picked up a new accent quickly.
Mon-Fri I drink 8 to 10 mugs of tea. Weekends maybe 6 to 8. I couldn't imagine getting through a day without tea.
I’m forever being picked up on the amount of tea I drink so I felt brave and counted the amount I had, and it was 12 that particular day!!!!!
Honestly sounds right
Good for you, keeping yourself well hydrated as the NHS recommends!😃
Was that a low consumption day then?🤔🤔
@@stephenlee5929 I hope so. I’ve not count since that day!! 😧
As a Canadian who's in a relationship with someone who grew up in England, I find both your Canadian and British videos entertaining. I learned a few things in this video that make perfect sense in hindsight. My girlfriend's talked about having encounters with ghosts, and she usually drinks two cups of tea for breakfast, and a "night time" tea before bed that helps her sleep, and whatever else she feels like during the day.
As for the chicken one, it makes perfect sense when you think about how popular chicken is. I looked it up, and there's usually over 1.2 billion chickens living in the United States at any point. The numbers are also similar in Canada compared to our population.
Funny how 90% of believers in Ghosts and seances to reach the departed are Women..lol
@@Isleofskyeor, like William Lyon Mackenzie King - trying to reach their dead mother so that she can advise him on Government policy.
@@vaudreelavallee3757 Yes but William really did speak to Lenny Da Vinci and his dead Mother(William's not Lenny's Mum).
He, even,said so ,himself:)
There are approximately 9 billion chickens in the United States, with around 95% of them raised in commercial poultry farms. The remaining 5% consists of backyard chicken flocks, numbering around 450 million birds.
What is incredible about having two or three cups of tea a day?
It's incredibly low from my experience
I’m literally staying in a hotel while watching this. In the bathroom there is a sign that says “TAKE ME HOME our toiletries would love to come home with you”.
Toiletries have always been complimentary. They’re factored into the price of a hotel room. The companies that supply them, do it for a good price. Because the companies are supplying them for every hotel room, every day. Also it is brand awareness of the company.
The company that is supplying the miniture shampoo bottles, miniture body wash bottles, and small bars of soap. Is The Scottish Fine Soap Company.
Apparently there's around 1.5b chickens alive and in the states at any given time.
It's not theft, anything that's complimentary is yours, whether you use it all there or take it home (in some countries anyway). But things like towels, gowns etc obviously not, unless it's priced as a gift with the room.
My mum and dad's friend used to drink about 10 cups a day, her husband used to say her blood type is pg tips(a brand of tea here in the UK).
My mother would drink 3 - 4 cups an hour, every hour while she's awake. My brother's girlfriend is the same, if not worse. She keeps offering me more tea when I'm still drinking the last cup, meaning she's already onto the next one herself. I try to drink no more than 3 or 4 a day. I'm in Ireland though, so we drink Lyons 😂
It’s really not unusual to drink 6 cups of tea in a day, ive already drank 4 cups and it’s only half past 2pm.
So, when C19 hit, it was revealed that in May 2020, they’d had a social get together without any precautions. In that month, my father became unwell and was taken to hospital, the paramedics allowed me to go with him as he wasn’t displaying C19 symptoms. He was taken in on 05/05/20, I was allowed to stay with him for a couple of hours once he’d been admitted and then, because of the C19 restrictions, we had to leave him there. That was the last time I saw my dad alive, while Boris and his cronies were enjoying themselves getting rat arsed I imagine. That was a bitter pill to swallow. Then we found out that in December 2020 and January 2021, it happened again. My mother was diagnosed with C19 just before Christmas and was admitted to hospital on 02/01/21. For eleven days, my siblings and I prayed like never before and asked everyone we encountered to pray for our mum. We had bad news, then quite good news, then bad news, then better news, then, they advised us that there was nothing more they could do. We weren’t allowed to be with her at all because of the rules in place at the time. At about 11pm on 12/01/21, I received a call that if we wanted to see our mother one more time, you must come now, she only has hours left. When we got there, our mum was on a ventilator and sedated, can’t say whether she knew we were there. She looked completely normal apart from being hooked up to machines, she had colour in her face and just looked asleep. It was just my sister and I, there are 8 of us, 6 siblings, one grandchild and one daughter in law. We called everyone so they could say goodbye to her, I’d like to think she heard us, they say hearing is the last thing to go. I held her hand, kissed her forehead, told her I loved her and she would always be with me in my heart and my memories, it was one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to do. But around the same time, Boris thought it would be fun to have a get together, absolute prick that he is. I feel doubly let down, he screwed us over when my dad passed and did the same thing when my mum passed seven months later. Very few people trust a Tory/Conservative government, past experience has taught us that they are only interested in helping their friends/cronies, many of whom are law breakers - look at how many Tory MP’s have served time in gaol. There are a great deal of MP’s that are as bent as a nine bob note, not just conservative to be fair, but mostly, to be honest 👍🏻 love the channel, keep up the great work my friend 😊👍🏻
Labour has only been in government 30 out of the last 120 years. It is not the Conservatives that are historically not trusted by British voters. Although current crop are universally despised it seems.
So sad to hear of your C19 experience, hope you have better things to come :)
@@Tykewarriorand the tories have been in power when almost all recessions have taken place since the end of WWI, if I remember correctly it is only two that Labour were in power for, one in the 70’s that had been overseen by both Labour and tories and the worldwide Credit Crunch of 2008. The Tories do a good job of selling themselves to the electorate but for my almost half a century on this planet, they have always had an untrustworthy reputation…and much of the media in their pocket. The only difference between then and now, is that they are now very rarely shamed into resigning as a result of their scandals and instead just lie about culpability…even when either caught in the act or are bang to rights by evidence.
So sorry that happened to you , sending you hugs x
NEVER MIND TROUSERS...
According to statistics getting out of bed is one of the most dangerous things you can do.For instance being half-asleep and tripping over yesterday's clothes that you just dumped randomly on the floor can easily cause you to fall and cave your head in on some bedroom furniture.
Lol... there's me having at least one cup of tea, every hour and a half in the day I'm awake 😂
I’ve had five cups of tea already and it’s only mid day
I have an idea for a video you could do Tyler: I would like you to react to the fact that there are indeed 2 Dennis the Menaces. A US version (which I'm sure you're well aware of), and a UK version, (which you may or may not be aware of), who both coincidentally debuted in the same week in 1951. And despite the name, they are both very different characters. I think that would make for a really interesting video!
Our Dennis would out menace the US Dennis hands down
Many moons ago I went to see an American band in Melton Mowbray, England. Can't remember their name but they all looked like Alice Cooper! I wanted to take the lead singer a present so I took him a Dennis the Menace badge UK/pin US. He was actually wearing a black and red striped jumper/sweater😅.Once he had adjusted to my accent we had a great discussion about the Menace that is Dennis 🌍

You can't steal shampoo and other toiletries etc from hotels that provide it free/complementary.
the taking of the shampoo and soap and stuff, is quite funny but true, we and wife do it often, but the silly thing is, the wife keeps it for the next holiday, and packs it, and we nick again lol, so we end up twice as much, alot of hotels, lower end are now putting it in hand push dispensers,
I have been a cleaner for 20 years, i have all the keys for the dispensers, I will not be beaten lol
Its 11am, ive had 3 cups, probably have another 6 before bed, 9bin total. More on a workday, no problem with hydration here
You have an unhealthy addiction at that point
@@Ho_Lee_Fookthank you! An addiction to what, by the way?
@@Ho_Lee_Fookthat's not much.
It’s totally normal for each person in the household to drink 3 or 4 cups a day.
"Blighty" derived from the (misheard) Urdu word vileti (via the British Raj) and ultimately from Arabic willayah (meaning "state or province"). It was popular in WWI and comic characters like Biggles.
I don’t drink tea but my brother has about 8 - 10 cups a day.
KILLER TROUSERS! I want to see that film!
My missus will drink four or five mugs of tea a day where I will have two mugs of tea and two mugs coffee a day.
The chicken population stat is uninteresting as it's the same for most countries in the world. Everyone eats chickens and eggs.
I don't.
You can't steal shampoo from a hotel that you have paid to stay in , the shampoo , tea, coffee, and biscuits are mine as I've paid for them ,
love the way the 'head and shoulders' gag goes right over his head!
More chickens than people can’t be a surprise, right? We eat a lot of eggs and a lot of chickens.
If you eat one chicken per month, there’s going to be one alive right now growing up to be fed to you. They also lay about one egg per day, so if you eat a box of 6 eggs a week, that’s another hen per person.
Hi Tyler,
Google suggests there are 1.2 Billion chickens in The US so our 124 million ain't that many.
Having been a chamber maid, when you go in and reset the room, anything that had been opened breaking a seal, you would throw away and replace with new.
My mum said that my first complete sentence, when I was 2 years old, was "may I have a cup of tea, please? 🤣😊
Also, the ghost thing……many, many people have had experiences with paranormal activity over here, what must be remembered is that we are a very old country and ghosts are everywhere. And the serial invader thing is largely down to us having the best naval force in the world at that time.
...and yet... there is not a single shred of evidence that anyone, at anytime, throughout all of human history, has EVER had an encounter with anything 'paranormal' or 'supernatural'. Because there is no such thing - only imagination and flawed human brains.
I am 69 in London and, hardly,ever met a Man who believes or has encountered Ghosts or believes in Astrology...lol
Britain drinking lots of tea is such a bad and wrong stereotype, I only drink 6 large mugs of tea a day.
I'm glad the Geordie accent was mentioned. Where usually forgotten about. (Exept when Ant & Dec are on screen)
Most British kitchens have an electric kettle so you can quickly boil water, your hotel room will have one too and if we go abroad we often take not only Tea Bags but a travel kettle too - just in case!
We would have sweet milky tea when we were very young, well before school age. It was just what everyone did - at least where I grew up. Now I drink 3 or 4 cups of plain black tea a day, nothing added to it.
Back when I had an office job which I despised I wasted a lot of time by making tea. I went through probably around 10 cups a day.
Does anyone else despair when they see it's a watch mojo video? Especially any about famous scenes from shows and movies they talk about it but only show a few seconds because of copyright I guess but it drives me wild.
Terrible channel, nearly as bad a wolters world.
My guess about Americans who don't trust the Government is that it's about fifty percent. Though which fifty percent changes every time the governing party changes.
"four... or FIVE?!"
🤣🤣🤣
Tyler, dude, I've had five today and I've only been awake two hours (that's not a joke).
I had a trouser related injury last year ...... got my foot caught pulling trousers on, fell over and landed on my face. I had to got to hospital but fortunately it wasn't too bad. Could have been a lot worse if my head had cracked against a piece of furniture
It'a surprisingly common, but little known cause of death or serious injury
In the USA most states are leagues away from the sea, but most people live fairly close as the big cities are concentrated toward the coast
Don't confuse him with more of our units of measurement 😂
2 teas before work, 1 at break, 2 at lunch, another break, at least 4 after work at home.
It is rare for any UK summer holiday not to have a destination other than the 'seaside'.
Where's the rising sea levels? 😂 We're the same size as we've been for thousands of years. Apart from coastal erosion in some places. News reports from 30 years ago said I'd be living by the sea by now but still takes me half an hour to drive to the closest beach
What the heck is shocking about drinking tea, how many cups of coffee are drunk per capita in the US?
You drink tea when you eat, so breakfast, lunch, dinner. Then you have a tea break in the morning and possibly tea before you go to bed
Old Castles, old houses, old villages . . . . more ghosts!
The UK is roughly the size of Idaho with roughly 750.000 people living there compared to the 65m living in the UK
If you consider that the shampoo and other sachets in your hotel room are worked into the price (also cleaning, laundry etc) you have already paid for it, so I don't understand how you would be accused of theft. Love your reactions.
Oh you innocent !!!! most people have at least 7 or 8 cups of tea a day. Wake up have a cup of tea, breakfast have a cup of tea, get to work 11 ish cup of tea, lunchtime cup of tea, afternoon break cup of tea possibly with a biscuit, travel home get inside, cup of tea, in addition to this in any circumstance tea is always the answer, someone born, someone dies, break up with girlfriend/ boyfriend, visit hospital, stop while shopping, for ceratin people in the UK , tea is the answer to life. Generally the older you are the more likely you are to be a tea person, unfortunately our youngsters are picking up the american habit of coffee.
i drink 6 to 10 cups of tea a day, but that does depend where im at, at work, tend to drink more, we have free drinks machines, couple before work, couple break time, copule luntime and couple afternoon break, , im a smoker, so have a cup with my food, and then take cup ouside for a smoke, we also take periodic smoes breaks also, will always take a tea, dont get me wrong i like coffee also, but alot of coffee feels heavy, tea is lighter on the tummy
I have had 5 Cups of Tea today in South East London and yesterday a whole large tin of Baked Beans with my Sausages, Mushrooms, Vegetables, and Chips..
114 Kilometres = 71 Miles from the sea and I believe that is Walsall in The West Midlands.
I had tea in my bottle as a baby and I can't be alone in that.
There are approximately 9 billion chickens in the United States, with around 95% of them raised in commercial poultry farms. The remaining 5% consists of backyard chicken flocks, numbering around 450 million birds.
They estimate that between meat hens and layer hens there are approximately 1.5 Billion chickens in the USA
I think 5 cups of tea is a bare minimum a day for most people. Minimum. Depends what happens during the day because if you’re happy you have one , good news you have one , bad news you have one.,friends pop around you have one .
We don't steal shampoo at all! It's paid for in the price of the room!!!
I live next to 2 graveyards, it's the living you have to watch out for
I don't do my fair share of tea. Probably 0-1 cups/day 2 very rarely. I much prefer coffee. But yeah, Brits love tea for some reason
No:10,Tea. On an average day I drink no more than 6 cups of Tea (Milk, no Sugar) but I will also drink Coffee (with Sugar) if not in the mood for a cup of Tea. I average 8 Hot drinks a day (if they go cold I still drink them as I was taught not to waste food or drinks) No:7,Hens. I worked in a Poultry processing factory between 1970 and 1975 and we processed 120 Thousand Chickens a day (5 days a week except Easter and Christmas when it went to 6 days a week . An average day was 06.30 to 17.00 all year) The company had Seven processing plants spread across Lincolnshire and Norfolk, so imagine how many are processed with this days population. No: 6,Beach. I was always told it was 75 miles (120.7 Km). Please bear in mind that you can drive from the bottom of England (Lands End, Cornwall) to the furthest tip of mainland Scotland, (John O Groats, Caithness) which is 837 miles,(1347.02 Km) within a day if you went no stop, (approximately 14 hours of actual driving). No:3 Accent. most people think of character of James Bond as being the British accent. No:1 Beans. A 2019 survey found out that the British population consumes on average 2,000,000 (2 Million) tins of Baked Beans a Day. Hope this clears up a few things for you. love the shows you put on.😄🧡
I may have the wrong end of the stick here, but I will comment regardless. I have the impression that The National Health Service is in an ideal position to collect data and does do so. Hence the alarming statistic about killer trousers. I understand that bedroom slippers are equally hazardous. Of course, association isn't the same as causation so both might be linked to a decline in balance as people age.
2/3 cups a day? I’ve had that many by 9am!
Tea can be a refreshing change after drinking coffee all day. I'm British, brought up drinking mainly tea, but on average I have no more than 4 or 5 cups a week at the most.
When you have lived in a very haunted house you get to realise there is something more out there you see!!
Yep I drink 5 or 6 cups of tea a day here in Yorkshire, although after the first 2, I move onto de-caf tea
Chicken is popular, its a cheap food, granted prices increasing through the inflation times, but in the UK, we use alot of eggs, for breakfast, whether it be for full english, or poached eggs on toast, even for baking, , omlettes, quick tea time food, sausage egg and chips, egg chips and beans for the kids, , sunday roast throught the country play a big part in the overall egg consumption with yorkshire puddings
I hardly drink tea, usually only when I'm feeling a bit under the weather but I must be pretty healthy overall because last week I was feeling a tad fluey so went to open a box of tea that was in the cupboard and discovered the sell by date was January 2022!
I have about 5 teas a day! One in a Breakfast, two in the morning. At least one on the afternoon and one early evening.
My partner doesn't like hot drinks at all, so I have her share of tea 😂 we don't steal shampoo, we take the complimentary shampoo the hotels provide, we paid for the room after all, Ross in friends also does it
I feel as though my tea intake today had been low- One before work, only 3 or 4 at work and two at home - so only 6 or 7 today. I would normally have more at work on some days probably closer to 6 (plus the 3 or so at home)
Partially used small bottles of shampoo in hotels does not get used by the next guest who gets brand new bottles. I assume the contents get disposed of for hygiene reasons before the bottle gets recycled. So, I used to take home the partially used bottles when I spent a lot of time working away from home. I didn't buy my own shampoo for many years....
The invading places lol, and the galaxy, as al murray said, we never bothered with moon, it was never going to be part of the british empire, no one lives there, which means no one to give it back to once we finished with it
As with the vast majority of watchmojo nonsense it's completely wrong. 171/193 invaded, had some control over or fought conflicts in...is the actual stat...but that doesn't make for the same kind of narrative. Many nations that ended up being folded into the Empire were by default usually as a result of some other conflict...as with the Treaty of Versailles and subsequent League of Nations mandates.
France and Belgium opposed the mandates and wanted complete annexation instead as opposed to governing/controlling mandates but regardless of how it came about the upshot was that Germany and the Ottoman empire were stripped of their assets nonetheless for both preventative measures and for reparations...
Togoland, Cameron, Syria, Lebanon went to France. What had previously been British Togoland, British Cameroon, Ruanda and Urundi went to Belgium. German SW Africa (Namibia) went to South Africa. German East Africa - Burindi, Tanzania, Mozambique etc to Britain. German New Guinea ceded to Australia. German Samoa ceded to New Zealand. Mesopotamia, Palestine and Jordan ceded from the Ottoman empire to Britain blah blah blah.
Point being it's not a simple matter of merely invasions...many happened as a result of something else and involved no, or hardly any, fighting whatsoever. Some territories were even basically traded for something else...New Amsterdam, for example, that became New York...was part of a Dutch colony (New Netherlands) run by Peter Stuyvesant and he was a bit of d1k. When the British showed up, for reasons I won't go into without writing a wiki article, the colonists were that sick of Stuyvesant they forced him to surrender without a fight...some other things happened that resulted in the Second Anglo-Dutch war...that wasn't really a war but more of a few naval scuffles...which in turn lead to the Treaty of Breda in which the British relinquished control of Surinam and some very lucrative spice islands and kept New Netherlands...renaming New Amsterdam as New York.
The British coastline is between 11,000 - 19,000 miles long depending if you consider the islands
If shampoo goes missing from hotels, perhaps the guests just use it while they are staying there.
That sounded like a cockney accent. London accents won't change by the street, but there's a definite difference between a North London accent and an East End accent.
It’s complimentary Beauty products normally single use that are in hotel room bathrooms. All included in the price. I take what I don’t use of these miniature bottles and use them in guest baskets when I have friends to stay
There are a lot of chickens in the US: "How many chickens are in the US? In 2020, the US raised a total of 9.22 billion broiler chickens over the course of the year. "
I trust the government to do what's right for us IF it's also good for them.
The sketch with the chap speaking in a Geordie accent really made me chuckle (my Brother-in-law is a Geordie). It was clear that you did not understand a word Tyler. I am sat here with a lovely cuppa, having just eaten Beans on toast, Not that I am overly keen on them, but it is emergency rations until pay day.
My principles will not allow me to steal from Hotels, Small shops or Lidl or Aldi but I, normally, take my 15%-20% from other supermarkets, which is the greedy, additional profit, purely based on avarice, they make on top of all other increases and adjust for increases die to the annual inflation figures so I balance the books or my books, certainly..
One understands the term, topically, to be "lower middle-class theft"...
For the record, I don't like tea. I tasted it once, and that was once too often. It's black coffee for me, all the way. However, my late father's lifelong addiction would have more than made up for it.
Don't forget that apart from their meat, chickens are also farmed to produce eggs. Remember what comprises the 'full English' breakfast? And that doesn't even take into the account of the number of eggs needed for all the cakes etc. that we consume...
As for accents... I grew up in East London, as a true cockney. In my twenties, I moved to Devon. None of my new neighbours could understand a word I said, and vice-versa. I had to make a conscious decision to try to speak 'properly' while I tried to decode the local vernacular...
Tea works better when you are indoctrinated to it from early childhood. 👌
I have 1 cup of tea before I even get out of bed on weekdays and 2/3 on weekends and 2-3 during the day. My friend that doesn't drink tea has 8 cups of coffee a day so me with my 3-6 cups of tea isn't really that much.
Beans. 22:35 there's a wonderful old saying that was very common in UK years ago . "Beans, beans are good for your heart, the more you eat the more you fart". Great old saying, What says you. 🤣🤣🤣😜😜😝😝😘😘Wasn't me honest.
I can get drive from my home in St Andrews 🏴 to south of London in about 11h, but have also driven across 4 US states in the same timescale through the smell of road kill in July.
*Everyone* I know here in Ireland steals everything they can from hotels and pubs. Doesn't matter if they're nice old ladies, or someone who is otherwise a saint. My parents even do it. I think I am the only person I know who doesn't do it. Everyone else is proud to show off their "new" pint glasses, bar stools (somehow), towels, and sheets. I would never do it, but it doesn't surprise me when anybody else does.
One of the Main reasons, britian had such a big army and navy is because we were sick of being invaded by countless empires and Countries/ their people, The Romans invaded then shortly after that the Vikings did too, then the French and Spanish tried with the French having control over the the UK for many years until William the conquer died or left, can't remember which is exactly that was. We have also fought a war with France for a 100 years which is called The 100 year war
Tea. We had coffee and hot chocolate in the 16th and 17th centuries. Tea turned up about the same time. But tea was popular with the Portuguese wife of Charles II (late 1600s) and so became fashionable at court. The royal seal of approval made it an elite thing, and so too did the import taxes England slapped on it. Smuggling tea became a thing (way before you guys tipped it in a harbour). By the 1800s it had developed its own (tea time) rituals. With the Industrial Revolution in full swing, it had become a cheap, warming, and possibly health (its health benefits were lauded by enthusiastic Victorians) benefits. By this time it had eclipsed coffee (and hot chocolate) as Britain’s favourite drink. It is embedded culturally. Which is not to say everyone loves it. But those who do, 4-6 cups (mugs, most of us don’t do cups any more) sounds about right.
Cheese and meats? Yeah, no, I don’t know anyone who keeps them out of the fridge. I’d say even the “take the cheese out an hour early to bring it up to room temp” crowd are fairly niche.
Ghosts (its been speculated) could be quantum echoes from the past.
Remember, physics says that the past still exists and does not disappear when time moves forward.
I drink tea by the pint and have at least 3 a day
Very good. 😊 I typically make 2 teapots per day, that's 6 cups. But at the moment I have coffee in the mornings. I don't take shampoo tho. Totally didn't expect the trousers accidents, wow. What? 😲
I’m from a large family, I drink minimum of 6 cups of tea per day, I’m the one who drinks the least! Lol
I live in the middle of the country so about as far from the coast as you can get . Takes about 2 and half hrs to get to the east coast for us
Ive never heard of the trousers thing
Look up ROSPA figures on accidents within the home.
Ghosts could be after images with our simulation struggling to cope and glitching out 😅
