Being Scottish (and British) nothing annoys me more than calling kilts 'Skirts' 🙄😅
The last person that called it a skirt, got kilt! Lol🇬🇧🖖💜
What do you call your skirts then?
Well, I mean technically that is exactly what they are even when they are the full wrap around. 😀
a dress.
@@dsmyify Skirts
This lady is absolutely correct about a queue. It may seen odd to others but we have this simple idea of fair play, and if it's violated we see it like a literal slap in the face. At the same time our politeness sometimes allows people to jump a queue because we don't want to cause a scene. There are limits and people vary in their willingness to deal with the violation of queue etiquette. It's best to just abide by the rules until you better understand the minor variations we deem allowable.
The fact I typed this length of a comment on a small part about queuing should tell foreigners exactly how much we British value the idea of a sensible queue.
Before the single queueing system in banks and PO's I always found myself in the slowest moving one and would switch to the now shorter and fast moving one, only to find that where I was got to the desk first. Choosing the checkout queue that appears to be moving the quickest by how full people's trolleys are also backfires occasionally. The same with changing when "Till number x is about to open" is announced, 10 minutes later still waiting for the cashier to arrive.
The nuance to allowing people to skip is a tricky one.
If a person turns up with a basket of a couple of items only, whereas, you’re stood there with a trolley full while waiting for the person in front to pay up, it is usually ‘the done thing’ to allow that person to skip in front of you as it saves them having to wait unnecessarily for you to get done with your trolley load.
@@weedfreer
Same thing if someone is just buying a newspaper or they're elderly and have a few things. Most people in a queue won't mind you letting them cut in.
It's ridiculous to think how we all internalise these rules. No wonder foreigners have such trouble.
@@laughingachilles yep, those are the other exceptions… either that or catch a ‘thick ear’ from your father!
Following COVID now, with floor markers removed and many more refugees influxes, queuing etiquette has almost ceased in public even by many Brits
. ..and that really peeves me iksomely off to no end, it makes my cholar boil that shop staff allow such to happen and I'm not that old either!
Being polite is something most nations should adhere to. It is important to us because we have a strong sense of fair play in the UK. Politeness is not weakness but a strength. Other nations should learn from this and respect it. Why? Because this sense of fair play extends to you. If we think another is being treated badly, regardless of their national origins then we will fight for you.
My view is that people travelling abroad should act as if they are an ambassador for their country.
Not holding a door for someone behind you is considered bad manners/etiquette & not saying thanks when someone holds the door for you is a criminal offence.
I don't know, a nod or visibly passing it on to the next person suffices; you can miss the odd thank you, particularly if you are obviously distracted or have bigger worries, and obviously appreciate the gesture. But asking for something without saying please is offensive no matter how rushed you are, whereas in America, you can miss the odd please, but not thank you. If you walk into a pub, and say, "I'll take a beer" like almost everyone does the other side of the Atlantic, it will often get you a sarcastic comment.
Quick guide to accents. If you can't understand them at all, they are from the perimeter of the country; Ireland, Wales, Scotland, Very North, West or East England. If you can partially understand them, they are from the North or Birmingham area, and if you can mostly understand them, they are from the South, abroad, or are an upper-class plonker that went to a private school.
English person here: Yeah that's a really big bugbear of mine lol. If someone doesn't even acknowledge you after you home a door open for them I always think "I should've just let it slam shut in their f***ing face"...😂🤣🤣
@@TheToledoTrumpton Not sure the accent thing is accurate. Janet Street Porter is from London and at times doesn't seem to be speaking English well that may be a slight exaggeration but she used to be unintelligible at times, I haven't actually heard her for years. Also the people of Inverness which is in the far North of Scotland speak very clear English.
@@madmark1957 It isn't 100% but it is better than guessing.
@@madmark1957 You're exactly right. I can barley understand her. She does nothing for the reputation of our dental services either!
Amanda, have watched so many of your posts. It’s really great that have joined in the British way of life and their sensibilities towards protocol and likes and dislikes. Great that you share so much of your affections for the UK not with ourselves but your fellow nationals. I am just delighted you such affection for the entire uk. Keep up the great job, you’re a beacon and a wonderful person to boot.🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂
I was in a shop and the only person queuing until a woman pushed in front of me and said “you’ve got 2 things there I’ve only got one can I go first as I’m on my lunch break”? No please or anything the glare she got from me said it all!!
Staying in line, holding the door, etc. is just good manners. I'm Dutch, living in The Netherlands. You won't get away easy with not doing it here either.
Yes, please avoid sounding like Dick van Dyke in Mary Poppins!!❤️x
Best way t get a brew right is using Yorkshire tea😊
If someone bumps into you they should say sorry, but you must say sorry too.
Thinking the Prince of Wales ( the country ) is the Prince of whales ( the sea creature) 🇬🇧🇺🇸🖖💜
I am from the north of England and we are proud of our teams. Americans assume we are all Dick van Dyke cockneys. We are not. We are a diverse folk and we love our compatriots across the Union, Scots, Welsh, Northern Irish. We care about our people. Football is what brings us together.😊
My BiL brought a friend over from US and he would be best described as the 'All American College Footballer', blond flowing locks and all. He had an annoying habit of dropping into Dick Van Dyck cockney but I got my own back by taking him on a trip around the South Circular near rush hour, after which he got out of the car like a gibbering wreck! Apparently, the traffic speed in US is generally slower and there is more space and less telepathic communication.
My wife and I have visited the United States twice and we found Americans very polite towards us ❤
Amanda ... the reason people have asked you if you are Irish is ... when ever someone from the UK visits America, everyone and their dog claims to be Irish. lol
Especially their senile old president who actually said it to a BBC news reporter!
The lady was pretty spot on, especially about personal space. If a yank made me a sh*t tea, I'd drink it and then show them how to do it correctly,no biggie!🏴
During the COVID lockdown we were forced to queue before entering the local supermarket. I accidentally jumped a queue because it wrapped around a corner. I was put in my place and told to get to the back.
It's actually extremely hard to make the British angry.
It's only happened properly twice in the last 1000 years.
The first time we were mildly miffed we decided to conquer most of the world while intoxicated.
The second time we got reasonably annoyed was last week when we had enough of 30 years of corruption in our country so a few of us went out to give a little warning and the gov and police were completely overwhelmed.
We are extremely tolerant people we'll only fight if we have to but we're also very successful thoroughbred warriors and there's a very fine line on our temper but once it's crossed that lion is going to flatten everything in it's path without mercy.
If there's ever a shortage of tea get underground
Looking great amanda 👍🏻 cheers to keep us smiling 😃 respect 🙏
In fairness. Our football is football. We don’t handle the ball, we kick the ball and we don’t wear 40lbs of body armour to play rugby.😂
It’s not called football because players use their feet
You do realise that there are many varieties of football? Association, Rugby (Union & League), Gaelic, Aussie Rules etc. Football is so called because it's played on foot as opposed to on horseback.
@@jinxvrs Yeah but we invented it as ‘football’ and not ‘soccer’.
Thanks Amanda very interesting video.
I will always point to who i think is next in the pub. I have been let down many times by people younger who don't have the same views.
If you ever get called Canadian as an American, please take it as a compliment. It basically means you are being polite and friendly! Sorry Americans but... ummm well yea.
I used to know a Canadian and we would wind him up by calling him a Yank!
I've heard rather sad stories about American backpackers sewing Canadian flag patches onto their backpacks because people treat them better if they think they are Canadian!
@@B-A-L Regrettably that's true. But it is funny when Canadians call them out by asking where they're from and many cannot answer because they know nothing about Canada.
I have been known to apologise to furniture, It's just a reflex thing.
Lloyd Grossman is an American Journalist who came to provenance on UK TV during the 90s presenting the first series of Masterchef.
He had been in the UK for a long time previously and had picked up somewhat of a Luton sounding accent.
In fact, although sketch shows of the time ribbed him about it to all hell, it became his trademark and what he was most known for.
We didn’t find it offensive and, what’s more, the man played into it himself even featuring in some of the sketch show skits which, let’s be honest, is an entirely British outlook on the situation.
It’s all to do with the nuance as to how the imitation was intended… or, whether you can legitimately argue that an accent has been affected owing to circumstance.
I don't know if there is another place in the world whereby the accents change as much as the UK even in London it changes lol
Yea but London is only 42% British these days, so no surprise there.
Actually true. I come from south of the river and there are subtle differences in accents between the south of the Thames and the 'Northerners'
@@Thurgosh_OGIt's now down to 36.8%. If that's not race replacement, what is?
I left Newcastle when I was 7 yrs old... and I am still the biggest fan of Newcastle... my whole life
Born in & supporting Newcastle........ WOW!!! you're parents didn't give you much chance! 😂😂😂
A great informative video Amanda,thanks I guess we should all take something out of this no matter what countries we visit
Your selection was about spot on
I live in Florida, and I am British, from Lincolnshire. Since being here (20 years) a few Americans have tried to copy my accent, and its so funny at times...
We just can’t do it most of the time! lol
Little things anoy me like saying we drive on the wrong side of the road when they're in the UK, not saying thank you or excuse me, saying our food is crap, when it's not, even though they have never visited the UK, saying we have bad teeth, forgetting the only reason the majority of yanks have good teeth is because they had their teeth fixed because their health insurance covers it, scoffing at our hot and cold individual taps, like we're backwards or something, it's more of a cultural thing, after all, we invented the industrial revolution, so a single hot & cold shouldn't be beyond our capabilities, not recognising when the Union Jack flag is upside-down, to be fair many Brits wouldn't know that either.
It's always the little things😂
I've supported West Ham United since around 1970. Lots of ups and downs, so it was so great to see them win UEFA Conference League trophy in June 2023. Their first major trophy in 43 years, after winning the FA Cup back in May 1980.
As an Englishman, football is just a game! Of the population it is not that popular as people think!
True.
Watch the film 'Get Carter'. Filmed in Newcastle. Great film too. 👍
You should specify, the Michael Cane version or they'll think you mean the naff Stallone one.
As a proud Welshman, I once had an American man ask me for directions to the Tower of London whilst stood near Tower Bridge. As I agreed to help and was telling him he stopped me and said he recognised my accent... from Wales that lovely county in the west of England. I was not happy.
Calling a northerner a southerner is a crime that you can legally be killed for.
Being from Middlesbrough (the very edge of north Yorkshire) we get called geordies which we can deal with (it's actually smoggies for us). But whilst on holiday in florida we were asked if we were from near London! 😒😒😒
How to make an Englishman mad?
Taking away their rights and calling them "right wing thugs" seems to have answered that question 😂
Hi Amanda. Accents in the UK are so tricky to master because people in the UK actually move around more than they used to. I was actually raised in the South East of England but now live in the South West of Wales so asking where I come from the answer would be originally or where I live now? So trying to guess accents for Americans is rather tricky especially when I speak Welsh lol.
The biggest way to actually upset a British Person is exactly what this girl in the video is doing. Calling the entire British Isles England we are as you know four fiercely independent nations. With different cultures and identies and to call everyone from the British Isles English is a massive insult.
As for the west country yes you do have to get here but don't just stop at Devon Cornwall or Somerset get across the Seven Bridge and into Wales it's basically Cornwall on steroids with Mountains it has lakes of its own and more Castles then anywhere in the world Wales also has the best beaches in Europe as voted in many various polls all over Europe itself the beaches are uncrowded and have some spectacular views and cliffs are very rugged and actually has the UK's most amount of marine species from puffins to orca from dolphins to sharks seahorses as well as other stunning birds of prey all living wild here. As for the amount of accents here in the British Isles basically one can go from one street to the next and you'll hear a completely different accent we have so many far in excess of 250 various accents
You`ll never make this Englishman madder than he already is.
"World Soccer" was the world's second oldest monthly football magazine when it started in October 1960 and is today the worlds longest running football magazine as it is still being published by IPC, with a monthly circulation today of around 52,000, so the correct term for Association Football is soccer. The majority of the Uk population have no interest in the game.
The worlds first FOOTBALL team was Sheffield FC .. That's 'FC' as in "FOOTBALL club"! The first ever FOOTBALL league was the 'EFL'.. The "English FOOTBALL league". The name of the English game (played globally) is FOOTBALL! 🏴🇬🇧
I do love that all the clips she used except the beach one it was raining, i do think only a select snooty few would actually be offended by a badly poored cup of tea, like you said most of us would just drink it, we do however like our personal space, even on a bus with very limited space people would rather stand up than sit next to someone, the London thing is something i take personal offense at, we have a lot more than just once city.
For anyone who jumps the line on me no matter where it is my standby put down is to approach them and politely ask them with a smile on my face if they know what the 17th letter of the alphabet is. When they look at me confused or way what? My reply is, the 17th letter of the alphabet is *Q* and yours starts back there! (Pointing to the end of the line) 😉. As you can see from my profile picture I am a male of a considerable build which is why I probably get away with it. 👍.
She seems eminently sensible , especially about the tea . It's no hassle to make it to your taste .Having said that you are quite right too Amanda , no one is going to make a fuss . She definitely understands football fans relationship with their club .
I don’t mind to much how my tea comes when I’m visiting someone. I just take it as it comes but I think the host should ask if you want milk or sugar added.
if in doubt, Ask!
The Lake District or Cumbria is my favourite part of Britain agreed, but as a tourist it's gets busy, and be careful not to erode the pathways or litter.
Most football players are temperamental. That's 50% temper and 50% mental.
The professionals are overpaid actors, just like most of Hollywood.
At the supermarket checkout conveyor when you kindly place a shopping divider on the belt for the person stood directly behind you .. that is showing you have good manners, when the person stood behind you doesn't say thank you for your act of kindness that is a show of bad manners. Kindness should always be respected by saying thank you.
Come to Cornwall!!
I’m a Londoner but I now consider myself home.
It’s Narnia compared to London.
Hi Amanda! I agree with a lot that was said but not all of us are offended apart from calling the national game, Football. Please pop over to Bristol and say Hi when you eventually go to the West Country!
Well the title is a good start...we are The British
Shame the video was just about England.
I visit friends who live not to far from the Arsenal stadium and rail line. They don't take the train on game days.
I can spot about 60 different accents in Britain...and there's probably 100 more.sub accents.
I’ve lived in Australia 41 years and I still apologise, even when people bump into me! Also holding open doors for the person behind, ideally they hold the door and thank you but some just walk through with no comment. That’s when I say “you’re welcome”. You may be terrible at accents Amanda but occasionally, like when talking about accents you said fit in like a Londoner.
I'm a Leeds united fan and we call Elland Road the church 😊
If someone offers me tea as long as its hot and wet its fine by me. Ill drink it and thank you for it to no matter how it tastes. I think thats how most of us are. I drink earl grey with a dash of milk but i never expect that from anyone else. Stick sugar in it and all hell breaks loose im not 5 anymore😂😢
As a southerner tea NAZI I will never offer a cup of tea incorrectly brewed. Though I'll probably be very "British" and respond to being presented with a shit cuppa as: "oooh, nice"...As I grit my teeth and the Dark Side rises, politely, and I just force it down without a fuss.
I imitate the accent subconsciously because it helps my brain to understand what is being said to me. I get that thing from my mother. I do warn people that it may happen and I’m not ‘extracting the Michael’ I just can’t help it.
LADY RAE. I hate it when people say, "I'm going to England". God that makes me upset. "I'm going to the UK for a week" that's fine
fair enough :)
But what if they are going to England? If they don't visit Scotland, Wales and NI then it's fine to say they're visiting England.
I've just been reprimanded 😆😅🤣🤣🤣🤣. Get Carter the Michael Caine version.👍🤠😊
About accents/dialects...It often comes down to "when in Rome" ;-)
Being loud in a public place, looking for American foods and be unacceptable of British food ie complaining
Trying to pay with dollars does not go down well either!
looking ripped
We've got charming little villages in Essex. Like Finchingfield. If I'm away on Holiday, and I feel homesick, I would look for a store which has Teabags (especially Earl Grey) because I want a Drink from home. @LadyRaeUK I live in Southwestern Essex
I'm from Birmingham and we are known as brummies, 3 football teams are what most of us support, aston villa, west Bromwich albion and of course Birmingham city, but over the border we have the black country, anyone from there would be offended if you call them brummies accents are similar but we know the difference between each other's, amanda get to Torquay Devon, St Ives or Padstow Cornwall,I'm always curious does your other half drink tea?,another interesting video amanda, if I saw you walking towards a door I would hold it open for you,not just because your gorgeous, but because I was brought up to do that!
Football DEFINITELY is just a game. And it's absolutely fine to call it soccer. Doesn't bother me at all. It probably bothers less than 10% of British people. And let's face it, I could name 50 more risque things that bother 10% of British people without pausing for breath.
There is programmes called Soccer Saturday and there used to be Soccer AM.
I hate football and I think it’s just a game as well but it still does annoy me when they call it soccer
Calling football "soccer" is annoying to some Brits, but we shouldn't really care... as you yourself stated, the term originated here, and used to be used interchangeably with football even here - it's only in the modern day that we seem to have started to object to soccer as an "Americanism"...
The accents do change massively, i live in norfolk, theres a norfolk accent (which people confuse with a south west accent, and when abroad Australian occasionally)
But theres a Norwich accent, live in the 'city' and its noticably different from a norfolk accent.
Dang Amanda, you look like you've been working out!
OK here's how to make a proper brew. Once the kettle has boiled, pour it over your tea bag in the cup. Give it a quick stir and leave it for 5 minutes. When you come back, you beat tea bag with your tea spoon like it slept with your wife. Remove tea bag, add milk. Done
I don't think any of those things make us mad, just irritated.
Politeness costs nothing.
Keep calm and carry on!
Its not just London, the big cities are a small part of the UK & you can't "Do the UK" in a week or two, it takes a lifetime.
We're happy to teach you how to make tea, the fee is a cup of tea.
Regarding impersonating accents, we blame Dick Van Dyke!
haha :)) he did a great accent 😂
A topical thing maybe and maybe totally off the point. but I'm from NI, and TeamGB grinds my gears.
One of the irritating things is speaking too loudly when just walking about,in a pub or elsewhere.
I invite American friends to come visit The Den for a match at Millwall's home ground, the true home of the Lions, then you'll see it forst hand the Football is a religion and The Den is my church.
🙌🙌
I'm watching someone I don't know, watching someone they don't know, While I worry if I'm being watched.
Yes London goes way back to the Roman period it was called Londinivium so when the development people started digging down to create the foundations if they find Roman skeletons then they had to contact the Archaeological Institute and tell them what they have have found which could take months to extract all the evidence.😘😘😃.
It predates the Romans by centuries
We have found evidence of people living there before the Romans came. Just like other places within Britain, there were thriving communities before the Roman invasion. There is also evidence that the name Londinium came from older Celtic names, however i have never been able to substantiate that as actual fact. 🇬🇧
Americans in particular need a volume control. I've had to move to another train carriage due to a pair of Yanks shouting at each other from 3 feet apart.
Let's face it, the Americans are no way as loud as a party of Italian tourists.
@@AdrianLee-ho1ds Fortunately, I've avoided them.
To say Football was the Only Hobby or Pastime Working Class had is very Silly .and misses alot of the Pastimes in my own experience.
As an Englishman who’s lived in North Wales most of my adult life but has never left Britain’s shores I can’t believe Americans find tea such a complicated concept 😄 I would go further and say that surely daily intake of tea (with milk) and Marmite are the foundations of any truly cultured/civilised society. We’ve let the world be governed by a country (the US) that consumes neither. Is it any wonder the world is such a mess. 😊
Saying someone from lancashire is from Yorkshire. Hell erupts. 😊
What makes me mad is people (English and foreigners) using "England/English" when they mean "Britain/British"!!
Britain, or more correctly, The UK, consists of England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales.
My dad was A Burnley fan yet never attended a game in his life he didn't know any of the players either
She is totally correct about supporting your football team, I am from Dundee and support Dundee but I could have supported Dundee United but did not as my Dad would have killed me. Once you support a football team it is yours for life, I have lived in Jersey, Zurich, Geneva and when I am asked what is your football team and I say Dundee FC they are like not Celtic or Rangers or Man U or Man City Or Liverpool.... I just walk away as they do not understand
Except that like me over half of Brits have no interest in football. Yes, it's a big popular sport but many of us don't care for it and all the hullabaloo that goes with it.
I think you are wrong about 80/90 % of Brits follow football in one way or another you are the exception so good luck watching table tennis
SPilling their pint, 😮
Does the notion of American exceptionalism play a part in this?
The first time I heard you, I knew you were a Scottish Woman using an American Accent. There is a chance I was joking.🧸
I think you actually do look kinda Irish Amanda, I can't really say why exactly but I get why some may have said that to you in the past.
I don't take offence if yanks try to imitate our accent. Imitation sincerest form of flattery. I do a pretty good deep south accent. Love that accent. And you lady, I adore you.
Manners used to be like that, now modern time Ans mass immigration has put paid to alot of that.
there's no need to guess where someone comes from. just tell us we speak american very well and ask where we learnt it. I guarantee none of us will get annoyed by this.
So basically everything you recommend applies to those coming to America, got it.
It annoys me when other countries assume all Brits are stereotypes, speak the queen's English etc. That is only a tiny percentage of the population
The video has just started and despite the title and the same title showing in the video Amanda is watching, all I've heard from both is English, England, English, England. Got to the end and 1 brief mention of UK, in with all the England/English does not make this a 'British' video.
Football is a big sport in the UK but less than half (46%) of Brits even like to watch it and only 10% are interested in playing it. So calling it soccer is not that big of a thing.
It's not football. It's Association Football.
In some places it's Fit'ba.
Amanda, regarding places to visit, have you been to Constable Country? Am I right thinking you’re based in the south east? If so, it’s an hours drive and In the late spring when the greens are all verdant and fresh, it’s one of the places to visit. You’ve been here a while so you’re aware that when you get a few miles out of town Britain has some fantastic countryside.
On irritating things foreigners do I suspect one of the worst is to assume food is only roast beef or fish and chips! Britain was and is a world hub and the cuisine available here is from every corner of the globe.
Also, I hate the assumption by certain people who shall remain unidentified here, that London is like something out of Dickens or bloody Mary Poppins!
London is as modern as it is ancient and those old stereotypes get on our collective nerves!!
A fact most don’t know is that the green spaces in London cover more area than all of Paris in its entirety. Phew! End of rant!
Keep giggling Pensyltuckey it’s encouraging to here a foreign voice say genuinely nice things about us and our little island.
Forgive the atrocious spelling
I meant Hear not Here 🤣🤣
London is the south .
Football?
Bag’o’wind youth!
😅
It's never bothered me about the soccer thing, it's our term in the first place. It has been used by fans, media and in general use for many years, while it's true it has fallen out of use today I don't get the angst it engenders in people.
Hmmm in uk we can side walk... we win that one
She is wrong about soccer. In the '60s and '70s football was often called soccer in Britain. People are more likely to be offended by not being offered a cup of tea than being given one that is not quite to their taste.
How would the Americans like it if the brits called American foot ball rugby for simps.
Starting a video with a "coming up later 'preview'..."
I'd rather watch Rugby.
