    The reason for our obscure weather patterns is our location, we are at the same latitude as Canada, Denmark, Sweden, and Finland, so we should be much colder but because we have a warm water current surrounding our island ( The Gulf Stream) our weather is all fucked up. If the Gulf Stream stopped we could be a sking capital and have months of snow yearly. Instead, we get four seasons in an average day. It can be pleasantly warm in the morning, dull and cloudy a couple of hours later, almost freezing in the evenings, and bucketing down with rain. To be honest this could happen in a couple of hours sometimes.

    UK Drinking Laws
    You can be stopped, fined or arrested by police if you’re under 18 and drinking alcohol in public.
    If you’re under 18, it’s against the law:
    - for someone to sell you alcohol
    -to buy or try to buy alcohol
    -for an adult to buy or try to buy alcohol for you
    -to drink alcohol in licensed premises (such as a pub or restaurant)
    However, if you’re 16 or 17 and accompanied by an adult, you can drink (but not buy) beer, wine or cider with a meal.
    If you’re 16 or under, you may be able to go to a pub (or premises primarily used to sell alcohol) if you’re accompanied by an adult. However, this isn’t always the case. It can also depend on the specific conditions for that premises.
    It’s illegal to give alcohol to children under 5.

    You don't have to be left out if you don't drink. You don't have to drink to go into a pub and sit around with friends. Many younger people don't drink or feel the pressure to drink alcohol anymore. You can go to pubs, restaurants, coffee shops to meet up with friends socially. Yeah People like to get drunk and let their hair down after a long week at work. I know I did when I was younger. Thing is we are tolerant to others and we all enjoy ourselves our own way. You know where the rowdier places are and if you want something more sedate you go there.

    The majority of British police don't carry guns (tasers and CS spray are more common, but not universal). The exceptions are the PSNI (Police Service of Northern Ireland) and dedicated armed response units. Most of the time, you won't see the armed response guys (or if you do, their weapons will be securely locked in their vehicle and so you probably won't realise it), unless you're at a major event or by a potential target for terrorists.
    And, yeah, Brits tend to drink by the pint, not the litre (remember an Imperial pint is bigger than a US pint: "a pint of water weighs a pound and a quarter", and a pint is not a pound the world around), but 2 pints is roughly a litre, and 5-6 pints on a night out isn't that uncommon, so I can see someone from a fully metric country describing it as litres and litres.
    As for the accusations of dirty streets, based on word choice I'd guess they were either Swiss or German (although that is only a guess). If that's the case... yeah I guess in comparison they may have a point (and there are certainly areas of some UK towns and cities where objectively they'd be right).
    As for the grocery prices- the UK is cheaper than some places, more expensive than others. The US is notably high when it comes to prices for groceries, and it's not just down to inflation- taxes, corporate interest lobbying (hi, Monsanto! In fairness, not just them), and deliberately depressed wages also contribute. It also doesn't help comparisons that US food safety standards are so low- what in many countries is the bog standard basics is high-end artisanal foodstuffs in the US.

    Trains are expensive if you don't plan. Plan ahead and you can get cheaper tickets. But I guess that doesn't help the tourist.
    There has been a marked decline in public pride in clean streets during my lifetime. Motorway verges are strewn with rubbish, wrappers are chucked on the floor, remains of takeaways can make some places obstacle courses. Councils don't clean the streets and they don't clear the drains, and then get surprised when it floods.
    Britain is in the path of the gulf stream. Mild, wet winds that dump their rain over the west and made the east gloomy. Like today, for example (21stOctober) : iy hasn't rained, it isn't cold, but it has never really got light.

    I wouldn't say that groceries are "cheap" here, but plants/animals that are able to be grown/raised in the UK are probably cheaper than many places in the US due to transport/shipping. Here in the UK we have an abundance of farmland basically everywhere you go. If you are not in a large city, you are pretty much always less than a 5 minute drive to fields where crops are grown/animals are grazing. 72.8% of the UKs overall landmass is farmland, so goods have far less distance to travel, and less fuel is required to get them to processing/retail.
    Only 39% of all US land is used for farming, and there are entire regions that are not suitable for producing certain popular foods. Depending on where a US citizen lives, their vegetables could have travelled hundreds of miles before actually ending up in a store, so the price is likely to be hiked up.

  • @concernedcitizen4135
    @concernedcitizen4135 Месяц назад

    Groceries in the UK are not cheaper exactly, but where its a smaller country with a single tax rate and no tax on certain items (bread, milk and eggs), there ain't massive transport costs between counties so it's pretty standard pricing.
    Perfume in the toilet: It's like your bathroom attendants you have (hand you towels and want a tip) but we ain't tipping for a towel so perfume spritz and a mint to get a tip.
    Police: Typically not armed but we do have armed police. Bear in mind we also have the highest gang and stabbing rates....
    Pharmaceuticals: Yeah our healthcare is free for everyone, great!! Good luck getting an appointment at the doctors, or you spend 40 hrs at accident and emergency. When they do finally see you, you can't get good antibiotics or painkillers because of the health regulations, so you go home same way you came in.
    Weather: It's really hit and miss, depends on where you live, if you like in the north or Scotland its going to be rough, live in London its going to be fine.

    Trains - if you need to go somewhere long distance at short notice the pricing is horrific. Otherwise it's not that bad.
    The weather is because we are a small island in the middle of multiple seas and oceans so the wind comes off them, meets in the middle and forms lots of clouds. That's combined with us being near the boundary of cold polar air and warm tropical air.

    The average person will drink around 5-7 pints on a quiet trip to the pub, on a night out, it could be easily around 20 pints or equivalent alcohol.

    Re the trivialising if beer consumption... 6 pints (3.5 litres) after work on a normal Friday night or a weekend is not unusual and no-one would talk about them in the slightest. That would normally be accompanied with shots and shorts too, depending on how the night goes.

    yes I have noticed Groceries are cheaper than the US. Yes HMRC and DVLA are all fully functional for voice calling and online. as for Alcohol yeah when they go to the pub they tend to drink beer by the pint and on average 6 pints is realistic. In the rural areas public transport is rubbish where I live in the UK we only have buses and half the time they are late or don't turn up so we need a car too. parents are the ones wearing PJ's not the kids. people drop litter no matter where you go. the we have an armed police unit but most police don't carry guns. Yeah we get a lot of rain in certain areas, basically the counties surrounding London tend to be dry but every where else we get rain especially in the southwest. Well driving standards have dropped considerably in the last few years but yes compared to the US they are higher. Medications are cheaper than most of Europe. All Government online service have apps that work well here. as For Drinking and Social gatherings thing well that is codswollup. LGBTQ rights are high here. homelessness is on the rise in the UK.Hahaha yep You alright? is pretty unique to the UK. Guy Fawkes the Gun powder Plot to blow up the Houses of parliament

    Your taxes being calculated for you... For most people, employees basically, not sole traders or freelancers the tax system is the opposite of the US. They already know how much you earned and how much tax is payable, so your employer pays the government your tax directly. None of that "calculate it yourself and if you make a mistake that's a crime, and we know what you owe but won't tell you" nonsense. You only need to file taxes if your money comes from investments or freelance work.

Everything seems to cost MORE (and not just by a 'little' more, but by a LOT more). 🤔 I also HATE (but have to accept) the TIPPING CULTURE... I just pray we don't get the same way here in the UK, yet I see it 'slowly' creeping in and I really don't like it, The same as the SUE-ANYONE for ANYTHING CULTURE...

    You say "litres" like Brits say "leaders". Also, groceries being so cheap in the UK is really strange because it's an island which imports most of its food. You'd have thought after Brexit the prices would at least be the same as Europe, but no...the UK is still quite a lot cheaper. I did some research as to why this could be and the consensus seems to be that UK supermarkets are unusually competitive, meaning consumers are so adverse to price rises that grocery stores are shy of raising prices unless they can't help it.

    Whoever this person is he is not describing the UK I have lived in for 60 years.
    Food prices can range in price widely depending on which supermarket you purchase the food in.
    We do not do our income tax ourselves, it is automatically deducted from our earnings monthly.
    The drinking culture is depending on the person doing the consuming of alcohol. We drink our beer and lager in pints not litres.
    I have yet to see a pharmacy/chemist that sells alcohol as they do not sell anything alcoholic at all.
    They do not sell perfume/scent in toilets.
    It is the parents wearing the pyjamas not the children.
    Our streets are NOT dirty at all.
    The British police do not carry guns as we do not live in a gun cultured country. The Police in the UK are very friendly and approachable.
    We do get some loverly hot sumners and winters that are cold but sometimes can be quite mild.
    Prescriptions are free in Scotland Wales and Northern Ireland but you have to pay in England for any prescriptions.
    You can go to a pub and not drink. They do sell soft non alcoholic drinks.
    We have both evergreen and deciduous trees in the UK.
