    Hey guys! Do people wear shoes indoors in your country? (Where are you from, btw?)

    • @mimicrono
      @mimicrono 4 года назад +17

      If you mean visitors, yes, they wear them. The rest usually wear slippers at home, except when we have visitors, we normally dress a little bit up. I am from Spain.
      I forgot, there is a growing tendency to wear special socks in winter and be barefoot in summer. Of course that is as varied as people live in my country 😁
      There is a saying that goes somthing like " generalising is to be wrong for sure" 😁😁😁

    OH MY GOD! This is complete nonsense!
    In the UK, we DO have mixer taps, however, to comply with the law, they don't mix water inside the tap and have two concentric pipes inside the spout and the hot and cold flows are blended as they exit the tap.
    The hot tap on a basin is on the left. On a mixer, it is turn left for hot, however, on a bath, the hot tap is the one farthest away to prevent small children accidentally scalding themselves.
    Our plugs have 3 pins - the top one is earth and ALL sockets in the UK are earthed. The top one is also longer as the live and neutral holes in the socket are covered by a sliding plate which is pushed out of the way by the earth pin which makes contact with earth BEFORE the live or neutral pins can make contact.
    Most countries have 'down for on' switches.
    We hang doors any way we like!
    We certainly don't put clothes in the cupboard under the stairs. That's for your hoover, mop, ironing board and possibly toolbox.
    Unless your building is 'listed', you can pretty much do what you want with it. Most listed buildings (and I stress MOST) are very old. A house build in 1860 for example, isn't that old. If you live in a 'conservation area' your new windows should look like old ones.
    We have curtains. We all have curtains. Some people may choose to have blinds but the standard is curtains.
    Trickle vents allow air to circulate a house and prevent damp. They can be closed. The 'air leak' is normally stopped when you close your curtains.
    Special long pillows? You mean draft excluders? How very 1970s.
    Our houses are not that cold that we need to 'layer-up' and we prefer to heat our homes! Most Brits heating will come on in the morning so the house is warm when you get up. It will go off during the day as there's no-one home and come back on in the evening. We have 'winter' duvets, so once you're in bed, there's no need to heat the entire house.
    The is no legal minimum or maximum temperature. Health & Safety approved code of practice states the minimum temperature in the workplace should be 16 degrees Celcius. There is no minimum temperature for a house.
    Mains water feed is underground. Waste pipes are on the outside of houses built before the 1970s
    Milk doors? Dairy factories? The milkman puts your milk on the doorstep. Nothing has changed

      Single family houses built as recently as the 70's in Canada had milk doors but they weren't in the door. They were beside the door at counter height and were little airlocks with an offset door inside to retrieve the milk placed in them. Cats quickly figured out how to use them to enter and exit the homes. As children, we would reach in through these doors to try and reach the door handle when we forgot our house keys since our parents wouldn't be home for a couple of hours after school. Sometimes, during the winter, if you didn't retrieve the milk early enough, they would be frozen. The milk doors stopped being a thing when milk deliveries stopped being offered.

    Milk doors are certainly not common at all! If fact I had never heard of them - fun fact though.
    It's also not common at all for mail to be placed under the door.
    And us hardy Brits will just use the hot tap - we can take the pain.

      UHT Milk. (Ultra High Temperature pasteurization). Milk has been processed to the point of sterilization and bottle well sealed. Milk stays fresh for months even WITHOUT refridgerization as long as it stays sealed. Once open, it needs to be cooled and used up. Quite popular in Europe, doesn't need cold trucks to deliver. Not common to find in USA, may be labelled "emergency" milk to keep on hand.

      ChaosFlower not quite true about the bins at all. A lot of them are kept out the front for no other reason other than there’s no access to the back garden, especially in terraced houses. The councils also changed the way bin collection was done to save time on the collection routes. Instead of having the bucket men waste time going into the back gardens and removing the bags, (the wheely bin epidemic happened) they told residents to have buckets out at the roadside or risk not having them emptied at all.

    There were several errors The pipes on the outside are for rainwater runoff from the roof. One district I lived in fifty years ago only allowed mixer taps where the hot water was in a central tube surrounded by the cold water for safety. Curtains were normal Venetian blinds only started coming in in the 60s. Even then it was in offices. Some houses had an inset in the wall beside the door for milk bottles these were meant to prevent birds from pecking off the foil top to get at the cream. Washing machines are often in the kitchen because of space constraints and when the weather was unsuitable to dry outside the kitchen was the best place because of the heat from the cooker. Long pillows :) they are used in old houses on the bottom of the door

    The first floor is called "the ground floor" and the second floor is called "the first floor". I've heard this comes from building practices where the first "floor (that is built above the ground)" is the first floor. It makes sense.

    I’ve lived in the UK all my life, I was born here. Most of these facts are very incorrect. Where I’m from in the UK (I’m sure other places in the UK do it too I believe.) the wheelie bins only go outside of the front garden only on bin day, which is a Wednesday, it depends what colour bin it is though, for example one week would be green, then the next week, it might be...blue, w shave a brown bin too, which is mostly in the back garden, but some people might put it in the front garden. Now, with the curtains, yes, we do use those, some people might choose not too. Some, like my family have both blinds and curtains, we use both. In my house, the kitchen and living room has both. Now for explaining the washing, yes we do hand them out on the washing line, only if it’s a nice sunny day, not raining etc, some if not most might not do that, but we do have a tumble dryer (drys clothes and that.) Which is placed in the kitchen, along with the washing machine, most houses I’ve seen or been into or something, it has been like that. Never heard of milk door flap thing before, ever. A cat flap or something, yes. For letters or the “mail box” we have on the Doors front doors to be exact, nobody can slip anything under the door at all.

    You're wrong with the window comments. Most UK homes use curtains, they help insulate the house during the cold winter nights. Some windows open inwards, I had windows that did this and it helps when cleaning the outside of the glass.
    Bonus window fact: During the period of the window tax occupants would paint a window onto the outside wall for aesthetic reasons and they didn't have to pay the window tax, because it isn't a window. There is a still a building in the town where I'm from that has painted on windows.
