Hi all, I know our have done videos on our NHS so thought I would tell you of my experience 10 day’s ago. I’m 74 years old. After a 999 call I was transferred to one hospital then to another hospital that deals with the heart. I was in there 9 days, had a pacemaker fitted, was given 3 meals a day, coffee or tea (I’m British) and biscuits 5 times a day. Was discharged with one month supply of all meds I take, a follow up appointment for check up in June and taken home by my husband. Total cost? NOTHING. Food was brilliant, nursing staff could not do enough for us. I just wish your government could establish the same in your country so that all people could participate.
Total cost was not NOTHING, it's been paid for by the tax payer for decades. FFS, knock it off with this "free" healthcare nonsense, there is no such thing.
My grandmother who has contributed to the NHS for a huge proportion of her life and never used it now needs lifesaving treatment and has been refused and left to die because she is 91. The NHS isn't all it's cracked up to be, my friend.
I would describe cheeky as a sort of harmless mischief. Something a little bit naughty that you know you aren't supposed to do, but you'll probably get away with it if you smile at the right person. Like borrowing a small amount of money off a parent with no intention to pay it back, or saying something a little risqué but in the right company, or eating something that's quite bad for you, but its a bit of a treat. I hope Lindsey treats herself to a cheeky bit of galaxy each night, she deserves it :)
Yeah cos those damned Kinder eggs are SOOOOO dangerous! It's disgusting how many European children are corrupted by such debauched items...I needed counselling to overcome my English childhood... 🙄 Meanwhile, children in America go food shopping with their family in Walmart, pick up a bag of carrots for $8, a loaf of bread for $5 with more sugar in than a block of fudge, and then stroll down the gun aisle so Mummy and Daddy can grab some more 9mm bullets and a new handgun. 😳 Probably the only reason Kinder is banned, is because they flat out refused to allow Hershey the right to produce products under the Kinder brand on their behalf. 😂 Do you ever think their government has seriously gotta get their priorities in order? Mental. 😵
The Penny Black was the world's first adhesive postage stamp used in a public postal system. It was first issued in the United Kingdom on 1 May 1840 but was not valid for use until 6 May. The stamp features a profile of Queen Victoria
Really loved this one. Your enthusiasm for the uk is so infectious and makes me appreciate where i live and not take it for granted. Can't wait for a video where you tell us you are coming to visit us in the uk. Hopefully soon

Although Cornwall through a gnat's eyes would be beautiful anyway. 🤗 Be safe out there, we don't want to hear about you on The News that they found your half munched torso out on the moor....stay vigilant! 👹 😂🤣😅

Lindsay looking particularly glamorous today and Steve is so much more confident and relaxed. I really enjoy your videos. So pleased to see Sophia managed to make an appearance!You are such a genuine, lovely family.
Lynsay is absolutely correct its contextual. Cheeky can be say you give Sophia onto trouble for something and she back chatted she would be, being cheeky so you'd say don't be cheeky. But a cheeky nandos is like sassy. Like I was going to cook dinner but we went for a wee cheeky nandos instead.
One who is cheeky, is one who pushes the envelope with underlying sweetness and charm, with the size of the proverbial envelope not being too large or wide so to speak.
The stamp envelopes are called First Day covers, issued every so often to showcase new stamps. We had these as kids as my dad, a postman in London, used to.order them and had them delivered to us.
They were what a lot of parents sent to their children as a mini investment. Thinking they would be worth the stamp value in the future i believe. There post office used to issue a few a year.
The BEST Marmite sandwich is with mature Cheddar cheese. Butter both slices of bread, then as thin or as thick as you dare, spread Marmite on both slices. Finally, grate as much Cheddar as you like (can fit) on your slice, and put the other slice on top. Enjoy.

You realise it's possible to edit comments rather than delete them, right? Though, one must ponder; why would you delete OR edit it when you insist you're correct?
Rington's still do door-to-door delivery. Every month or six weeks Mary, my lovely Rington's lady, comes round with a van bringing tea, coffee, biscuits and many other good things.
The meaning of a Cheeky Nando's. So Cheeky itself has a few meanings, to be a bit cheeky is to be a bit naughty. So in this context it is to be a bit naughty by going to Nando's rather than cooking at home or eating your packed lunch. Nando's is a much healthier eat than say going to grab a burger which, in certain parts of South London would be referred to a Dirty Burger because it is so greasy and very naughty to eat. So Cheeky Nando's is really to be a bit indulgent and breaking the diet in a not too naughty way.
WHAT DOES CHEEKY NANDO'S MEAN? In British slang, a cheeky Nando’s means popping in for a bite at the chicken restaurant Nando’s, often with your mates after you’ve had a couple of pints and are having a good time. Related words:
Hartlepool… your pronunciation is just fine. I’m in my kitchen watching this and from my window I can look right across the Tees estuary and see Hartlepool and beyond! 😊
Sir Roland Hill was the 1st inventor of stamps, The Penny Black, being the very 1st one. and he came from my home town of Kidderminster. Worcestershire. And you’re correct with your pronunciation of Hart Lee Pool. Hartlepool. Welsh dragons, are the symbol of true wales. Apart from their own language that only Welsh speak!
You realise that with Sophia reading all these English books she will learn the proper way of spelling things, & lots of British idioms, which might cause her some problems at American schools. The stone thing is Welsh slate, which is the most common roofing material for UK houses etc since the railways allowed it to be transported all over the country. Rington's are still going, & still doing door to door deliveries. When I was young they still used vintage vans like the toy one used as a tea caddy. The first postage stamps were in Britain in about 1840. Before that the recipient of a letter had to pay the postman, so could refuse to take it. The stamp meant it would be delivered. The first stamp was printed in black with Queen Victoria's head, but this was changed to red because the PO stamp frank, also black could not be clearly seen, but showed up better on the red version. Both these original stamps were priced at 1 penny, but are now worth a lot of money, especially the very rare black ones. The envelopes with stamps on are called 'first day covers' of occasional special series of stamps for collectors. People buy them from the Post Office to send to themselves, or they collect them as new. Many different subjects have appeared over the years. At Christmas time stamps have seasonal scenes on them. The cloth thing is a bear mat used on the bar in pubs etc to soak up the drips. The oldest LAGER brewery, not the oldest beer brewery in Britain, because Lager is quite recent in this country, & is NOT classed as Beer, which is Ale, Stout etc. We British have not been drinking tea for 300 + years for nothing, but because it's good. We had coffee even earlier than that, the first Coffee Houses opened in the 1660's, with tea a little bit after, introduced by Queen Katherine of Braganza from Portugal when she married our King Charles 2nd. HP Sauce best tried on a sausage or hot dog. Lindsey is an area ruled from Lincoln in the early middle ages. Cheeky means a little bit naughty, something you shouldn't really do, but is fun. A cheeky child is one who answers back when being told off. Parkin is soft cake, mostly ginger flavoured, popular in the north of England when mum would make it on Bonfire night. Most Supermarkets brands now sell it, but might not do so in the south. A sea salt production site was recently found on the Yorkshire coast that was in use up to 3 thousand years ago. We don't call insects bugs in the UK, it's a Ladybird because it flies, & named for Our Lady the virgin Mary. Bugs are problems in computers or other machines, or a bug might be a minor illness, like a tummy bug, a stomach ache. Insects here are called by their individual type. Bug for insect is learnt from American slang. Dan from Yorkshire.
Hartlepool was the target of the first enemy attack in World War I I believe. First German naval assault. Yes you're pronouncing it correctly. Hartley-Pool.
Such a lovely family I’m hooked on watching your videos and so sad to realise I will never actually get to meet you allLyndsey you seem like such a lovely person and I just know we would definitely get along.Thank you all of you for getting me through such a difficult time year so far with losing my beautiful mum,you’ve really helped me .xxx
So sorry for your loss, Jane! ❤️ Hope you have lots of beautiful memories with her that you can lean on to get you through the roughest days. Sending virtual hugs and love from across the pond. Thank you for being part of the Roots fam!
Yes agree. Dahl is an institution. Also Alice in wonderland, wind in the willows, the worst witch series, the Borrowers, the faraway tree and all Enid Blyton, all Julia Donaldson like Stick Man, or Zog 101 Dalmatians. So many classicBooks and modern ones . Anything by Oliver Jeffers - lost and found
With all due respect, although Nandos is popular in the UK, to put it in a top 10 list of things people from the UK are obsessed about is totally wrong. I have never tried Nandos and have no wish to, fish & chips, roast Sunday dinner, bacon or chip butties, Greggs, perhaps a curry, now, that's a different thing.....Too many egocentric people make videos and because they are obsessed with something, think it follows so does everyone else. Sorry for going off on one, you two are definitely the top RUclips twosome (and sometimes threesome...). Next stop 100,000.........................
Is Sophia aware of Rupert Bear? He's been a children's character since 1920. Whilst I'm digging in past childhoods how about: Camberwick Green, Mr Ben, Bagpuss, Ivor the Engine, The Clangers, Trumpton... I'm sure that list will grow...
I've got Looby Loo hovering in my memory and can't for the life of me remember why... Parsley, a lion I think but little more... There was of course the American contribution of Joe 90 and Stingray... and of course Thunderbirds.

The All for One Book you got is like a text based RPG adventure with different paths and options in the book if I remember right. If you know of Dungeons & Dragons etc its similar to that. I love beanie babies, still collect em! As always Sophia is an angel, such a cutie! Much love!
What a beautiful poem- and all so true! The lager is from the oldest LAGER brewery in the UK. Lager is a relatively 'Johnny come lately' form of beer here. There are older breweries making ales and stouts. Lager only became commonly available in pubs in the early 20th century. Traditionally, 'cheeky' would be applied to a child who was perhaps being a bit disrespectful, but in a playful way that would make you smile rather than tell them off. The modern usage also includes doing or saying something that is a bit naughty, but not 'bad'. "I'm on a diet, but I'll grab a cheeky biscuit with my tea". So going for a 'cheeky Nando's' is when someone suggests that instead of maybe eating at home before going out, we all go to Nando's instead. Or you're out already, but instead of heading home you go for a 'cheeky Nando's' to round off the evening. It's funny how that specific phrase has become universal in the UK. I guess someone on TV, or some influencers originally used it, and it stuck. I've found a reference for the first internet usage being by a rap artist in 2011.
It's lovely to see that you are still enthusiastic to learn about us. Some visitors from abroad see only London, and think there may not be much too see beyond. Also that because we are small in size comparatively, there is not much to discover. Not true. 'Good things can come in little packages.' Best Wishes.
The brewery in wales is probably the oldest in wales but not the uk Along with the Three Tuns Brewery in Shropshire, Shepherd Neame claims to be the oldest brewery in Great Britain. Three Tuns was licensed in 1642, 56 years earlier than Shepherd Neame.

This week is Eurovision week . It’s the Eurovision Song Contest, if you can see any of it I’d love to have you comment on it. We’re having a Eurovision party on final night this Saturday.

If you look at the Welsh book, you will find that words borrowed from other languages are pronounced more-or-less like in the original language, but spelt using the Welsh alphabet (which only has 24 letters, but "w" and "y" are vowels, and also uses double letters for some sounds, like "dd" pronounced like the "th" in "these"). So, for instance, "pensil" is pencil, "bwffe" is buffet etc. I'm guessing that's what happened with dinosaur. I don't speak Welsh, but I lived a summer in Abertawe (Swansea in the English language) when I was a student over 40 years ago, and I picked up a few words. Swansea is mainly English speaking, unlike parts of North Wales.
A couple from the U.K., might have said…”let’s take a mug of tea upstairs, to drink while we open the parcels” …. They would have just slurped away as they’re chatting away about the gifts. You don’t HAVE to make it a special occasion to drink a cup of tea, so, with us, it’s any time, anywhere. Kind regards, MaryG.

You showed a reason why tea is never far from the dry throats of the vast majority of Britain's population. A quick sip of tea to wet the mouth and add the chocolate. That's why teas mix well with so many treats. It can enhance the taste of most sweets. Saying that tea also gets served with savories like a fried Brits breakfast. At dinner or tea time depending on one's social status 😊
Hellooooooooo 😊 Oooh I love watching these! Let's see what you get! 😁 Oh I seem to have something in my eye...oh there's more of them...hang on... it's ok, they're rolling down my cheeks now...😭 9:20 That poem was lovely, and so true. You really do make so many people happy. It's because you're so sweet, humble, funny, and completely bonkers, and we appreciate a bit of bonkers over here. I couldn't have a RUclips channel because, well first off I swear too bloody much, but because the negative comments would destroy me. I'm certain there's an absolutely VILE side to having a social media presence, just in comments you have to constantly prove yourself with people who deliberately interpret every letter in the worst way possible. I'm sometimes astounded how a perfectly lovely comment can be twisted into something completely mean and spiteful. Focus on the genuine love we have for you and ignore the miserable bastards because their only joy in life is sucking joy out of others. I know it's easier said than done, but you have to just delete their comments and block them. Don't even be tempted to read their whole comment once you realise where it's heading. We'll take care of them in the comments also. I'm not so great at advocating or prioritising myself, but when I see people attack someone else when there's no provocation or justification to do so, then I can't keep my mouth shut. I'm all for people expressing their opinion and feelings, but there's no need for anyone to be an ignorant arsehole when doing so. Right, my eyes are dry. Let's continue! 😁 39:00 yayayay Princess Sophia joined the party! Her little voice is so cute. 🤗 She "WUVS teddy bears" "WUVS Bunnies" "WUVS chicks" "WUVS dragons" Precious little girl. I WUV you, Sophia! 💖 This was so lovely to watch. These videos are heartwarming. The gifts people send, are sent with so much personal intention, not generic at all. That just proves how well loved you all are, that you're such a delight for people to buy for. I got a few more tears here and there, seeing you happy, makes me feel happy. I WUV you all so much! 😘😘😘 xxxxx
As you have discovered,marmite has a strong taste!🤣. People either love it or hate it! I love it but I have had it since I was a toddler. Started with a tiny smear on a bread and butter slice. The health benefits of yeast extract were expected to help me grow😃. If you are new to it, be sure to keep the amount on your bread or toast VERY THIN and butter the bread first. It is not to be used like you would use jam. Definitely a savoury treat.

Welsh dragons, are the symbol of true wales. Apart from their own language that only Welsh speak!
You realise that with Sophia reading all these English books she will learn the proper way of spelling things, & lots of British idioms, which might cause her some problems at American schools. The stone thing is Welsh slate, which is the most common roofing material for UK houses etc since the railways allowed it to be transported all over the country. Rington's are still going, & still doing door to door deliveries. When I was young they still used vintage vans like the toy one used as a tea caddy. The first postage stamps were in Britain in about 1840.
Before that the recipient of a letter had to pay the postman, so could refuse to take it.
The stamp meant it would be delivered. The first stamp was printed in black with Queen Victoria's head, but this was changed to red because the PO stamp frank, also black could not be clearly seen, but showed up better on the red version. Both these original stamps were priced at 1 penny, but are now worth a lot of money, especially the very rare black ones.
The envelopes with stamps on are called 'first day covers' of occasional special series of stamps for collectors. People buy them from the Post Office to send to themselves, or they collect them as new. Many different subjects have appeared over the years. At Christmas time stamps have seasonal scenes on them. The cloth thing is a bear mat used on the bar in pubs etc to soak up the drips. The oldest LAGER brewery, not the oldest beer brewery in Britain, because Lager is quite recent in this country, & is NOT classed as Beer, which is Ale, Stout etc.
We British have not been drinking tea for 300 + years for nothing, but because it's good. We had coffee even earlier than that, the first Coffee Houses opened in the 1660's, with tea a little bit after, introduced by Queen Katherine of Braganza from Portugal when she married our King Charles 2nd. HP Sauce best tried on a sausage or hot dog. Lindsey is an area ruled from Lincoln in the early middle ages. Cheeky means a little bit naughty, something you shouldn't really do, but is fun. A cheeky child is one who answers back when being told off. Parkin is soft cake, mostly ginger flavoured, popular in the north of England when mum would make it on Bonfire night. Most Supermarkets brands now sell it, but might not do so in the south.
A sea salt production site was recently found on the Yorkshire coast that was in use up to 3 thousand years ago. We don't call insects bugs in the UK, it's a Ladybird because it flies, & named for Our Lady the virgin Mary. Bugs are problems in computers or other machines, or a bug might be a minor illness, like a tummy bug, a stomach ache. Insects here are called by their individual type. Bug for insect is learnt from American slang. Dan from Yorkshire.
Thank you, Dan, for the in-depth information on the varies items. Such clarity for all to understand, cheers.
Very interesting reply. I’m really hoping our American friends absorb all that. All that information is surely so valuable to them. Regards. MaryG
Thank you as always.
Hartlepool was the target of the first enemy attack in World War I I believe. First German naval assault.
Yes you're pronouncing it correctly. Hartley-Pool.
The poem was beautiful & well thought about.
Those Onion-ninjas get everywhere!
I'm not crying, YOU'RE crying!
Lots of love from Norway ♥
Peace love from England ❤
Steve struggles to read English, god help him reading Welsh. Boyo lol
Such a lovely family I’m hooked on watching your videos and so sad to realise I will never actually get to meet you allLyndsey you seem like such a lovely person and I just know we would definitely get along.Thank you all of you for getting me through such a difficult time year so far with losing my beautiful mum,you’ve really helped me .xxx
So sorry for your loss, Jane! ❤️ Hope you have lots of beautiful memories with her that you can lean on to get you through the roughest days.
Sending virtual hugs and love from across the pond. Thank you for being part of the Roots fam!
Thank you so much You really help me x
Best Family On RUclips!!! Hope Sophia is fine 🙂
Hi you lovely family, I love all your reactions!
I smile every time you upload a new video ❤️😊
From Ashford, London 🇬🇧
Hartlepool...a wonderful place. I am just off there to buy a pair of exploding trousers. 😂
Don't cry ...or I'll cry!❤lovely family!❤
Next try reading Ronald Dahl and CS Lewis to your daughter, they are wonderful stories.
Yes agree. Dahl is an institution. Also Alice in wonderland, wind in the willows, the worst witch series, the Borrowers, the faraway tree and all Enid Blyton, all Julia Donaldson like Stick Man, or Zog 101 Dalmatians.
So many classicBooks and modern ones .
Anything by Oliver Jeffers - lost and found
With all due respect, although Nandos is popular in the UK, to put it in a top 10 list of things people from the UK are obsessed about is totally wrong. I have never tried Nandos and have no wish to, fish & chips, roast Sunday dinner, bacon or chip butties, Greggs, perhaps a curry, now, that's a different thing.....Too many egocentric people make videos and because they are obsessed with something, think it follows so does everyone else.
Sorry for going off on one, you two are definitely the top RUclips twosome (and sometimes threesome...).
Next stop 100,000.........................
Agree Lindsay it's the positive part of social media ❤❤
Marmite with cucumber
Is Sophia aware of Rupert Bear? He's been a children's character since 1920.
Whilst I'm digging in past childhoods how about:
Camberwick Green, Mr Ben, Bagpuss, Ivor the Engine, The Clangers, Trumpton...
I'm sure that list will grow...
I would love to see them react to some old British cartoons
Loved bagpuss that saggy old cloth cat 😊
I've got Looby Loo hovering in my memory and can't for the life of me remember why...
Parsley, a lion I think but little more...
There was of course the American contribution of Joe 90 and Stingray... and of course Thunderbirds.
@@daveofyorkshire301 captain pugwash , ivor the engine , Noddy , Bod , Mr Ben , magic roundabout and of course BluePeter which I think is still going 🙂
@@claregale9011 How could I forget Captain Pugwash and Magic Roundabout?
Do you have a coffee filter machine. If so Carlisle Cumbria England has a local coffee & tea shop, they brew and roast there own coffee, it smells lovely in the air " watts & sons"
Soon you'll be able to open a British museum
Cheeky means a little bit naughty in a charming sort of way.
“Land of my fathers, land of my choice…” is the English translation of our national anthem, Hen Wlad Fy Nhadau 🏴
Yay, my parcel arrived.
I sent the large book on Wales, stickers etc
Seems like a bit of a Welsh/Cymru edition
Hope you have a lot of fun reading all the many books you've received whilst sipping tea or lager ❤
Aw. You’re so kind! I keep thinking about sending this lovely family something. That was a lovely package. I’ll definitely get around to it soon 😊
Thank you, Carole! The stickers and sticker book have already been very much enjoyed 😄 We can't wait to sit down together and look through the big book about Wales as well. ❤️ It was a lovely package.
I've said it before I know, but genuine reactions with genuine emotions are so lovely to watch.
Don't let Sophia take the stamps apart or off the envelopes. The value is in them being first editions.
I think the coaster was made of slate?
Lindsay ,you made me cry. Kev,60 years old, Suffolk, UK. XxX
The world can be a special place and people reaching out to each other shows this, pleasure to watch
Make sure you check if there are differences between UK measuring 'cups' and American.
Taylor's are from Harrogate north Yorkshire England they also do coffee
Hi family, hope my package reaches you soon . Again some great stuff from some generous folk Rupert bear I remember from my childhood and I'm getting on in yrs 😊.
Hey Clare! We have received your package. It will definitely be in the next opening video. ❤️ Hope you're well.
@@reactingtomyroots fab 😍
Hi Steve That brown cap you received is called a CHEESE CUTTER
Hartlepool: they hanged a monkey; all you need to know.😄 You pronounced it correctly.
To be fair they did think it was a French spy.
Yes my partner told me this amd I thought he was winding me up so had to Google it. Poor monkey.
@@heatherhorner412 I had the exact same reaction when my ex talked about ‘the monkey hangers’.
@@heatherhorner412 I actually read that it was a chimpanzee, poor thing. Monkeys are much smaller than Chimps or Apes and even in those dark days I don't think they would have made such an error with a monkey.
@@stevelknievel4183 To be fair, it was a monkey
to steve and family i love watching your video's and to your daughters face when she opens her gift to see her smile it makes me so happy. reminds me of my daughter who past away with special needs she was always smiling and happy just like your daughter is. hope you all take care god bless you and your family
The All for One Book you got is like a text based RPG adventure with different paths and options in the book if I remember right. If you know of Dungeons & Dragons etc its similar to that. I love beanie babies, still collect em! As always Sophia is an angel, such a cutie! Much love!
this family is soooo lovely i always loook forward to there reactions they are sooo lovely🤗🤗😍😍😍😍🥰🥰😎😎😀😀👍🏻
What a beautiful poem- and all so true!
The lager is from the oldest LAGER brewery in the UK. Lager is a relatively 'Johnny come lately' form of beer here. There are older breweries making ales and stouts. Lager only became commonly available in pubs in the early 20th century.
Traditionally, 'cheeky' would be applied to a child who was perhaps being a bit disrespectful, but in a playful way that would make you smile rather than tell them off. The modern usage also includes doing or saying something that is a bit naughty, but not 'bad'. "I'm on a diet, but I'll grab a cheeky biscuit with my tea". So going for a 'cheeky Nando's' is when someone suggests that instead of maybe eating at home before going out, we all go to Nando's instead. Or you're out already, but instead of heading home you go for a 'cheeky Nando's' to round off the evening. It's funny how that specific phrase has become universal in the UK. I guess someone on TV, or some influencers originally used it, and it stuck. I've found a reference for the first internet usage being by a rap artist in 2011.
It's lovely to see that you are still enthusiastic to learn about us. Some visitors from abroad see only London, and think there may not be much too see beyond. Also that because we are small in size comparatively, there is not much to discover. Not true. 'Good things can come in little packages.' Best Wishes.
Cheeky is our version of your sassy but it can also be used instead of a lighthearted “naughty”
The brewery in wales is probably the oldest in wales but not the uk
Along with the Three Tuns Brewery in Shropshire, Shepherd Neame claims to be the oldest brewery in Great Britain. Three Tuns was licensed in 1642, 56 years earlier than Shepherd Neame.
the usbourne map books are amazing, they do the world in pictures, dino's, places, history , inventions ect. a fantastic way t open the world for ur child
HP is good on a bacon butty just don't put too much on it's quite a strong flavour.
This week is Eurovision week . It’s the Eurovision Song Contest, if you can see any of it I’d love to have you comment on it. We’re having a Eurovision party on final night this Saturday.
You guys need a good set of shelves behind you to display the books, Ringtons Tea Van, yellow duck etc on. Would make your set look great!
The coaster is made from slate. In parts of the uk our houses are made from slate as are our walls around fields etc.
and slate roof tiles last forever
"Cheeky" means slightly naughty.
In the uk this weekend we have a bank holiday from Friday- Monday and again at the end of the may when the schools are on holiday.
May day , a tradition for children to dance around the may pole holding long ribbons,
My school back in the day was Maypole primary my children went to the same school and also did maypole dancing. 😊 nice little tradition
Transplanted Cdn, and it is so boring, that long weekends are “bank” holidays, and that there are so few of them.
'Cheeky' means slightly naughty, but in a light hearted way. You know you shouldn't but do anyways.
it's pronounced Heart-Lee-Pool, it's a great place to go monkeying around 🤣
Think Wrexham football club is owned by Ryan Reynolds!
If you look at the Welsh book, you will find that words borrowed from other languages are pronounced more-or-less like in the original language, but spelt using the Welsh alphabet (which only has 24 letters, but "w" and "y" are vowels, and also uses double letters for some sounds, like "dd" pronounced like the "th" in "these"). So, for instance, "pensil" is pencil, "bwffe" is buffet etc. I'm guessing that's what happened with dinosaur.
I don't speak Welsh, but I lived a summer in Abertawe (Swansea in the English language) when I was a student over 40 years ago, and I picked up a few words. Swansea is mainly English speaking, unlike parts of North Wales.
A BIT LATE, BUT IT'S A REACTION TO FOOD PARCELS SENT TO US FROM KIND AMERICANS, IN WW2
I was going to send you a naughty devon pixie i caught him on dartmoor but he bit me and ran off. I dont think he would have survived the flight
If ever you come to the UK you will no doubt see all our slate roofing, Wales supplied all the slate!
A couple from the U.K., might have said…”let’s take a mug of tea upstairs, to drink while we open the parcels” …. They would have just slurped away as they’re chatting away about the gifts. You don’t HAVE to make it a special occasion to drink a cup of tea, so, with us, it’s any time, anywhere. Kind regards, MaryG.
You are such a beautiful family, I always enjoy watching your videos and your reactions. Love to your little family. From Lynsey in Leicester, England.
I was born in Melton Mowbray Leicester, I live in Carlisle Cumbria
@@heathermurray9939 For some reason people knock Cumbria a lot, I don't know why. I'm from Barrow, it was a great place to grow up.
@@baronmeduse I have lived in Carlisle Cumbria England since 1996 ,I love it plenty of things to see & do. Stage coach buses are doing a £ 2.00 single way to any parts of Cumbria, lake district Cumbria etc
@@heathermurray9939 Yes, the proximity to the Lake District is one of the best features.
@@heathermurray9939 is there any places in Carlisle Cumbria you can recommend to visit.
If ya gonna try sauce hp for a bacon or sausage sandwich but for a chip butty it's gotta be red in my opinion with a buttered bread roll or white bread 😊
You showed a reason why tea is never far from the dry throats of the vast majority of Britain's population. A quick sip of tea to wet the mouth and add the chocolate. That's why teas mix well with so many treats. It can enhance the taste of most sweets. Saying that tea also gets served with savories like a fried Brits breakfast. At dinner or tea time depending on one's social status 😊
Hellooooooooo 😊
Oooh I love watching these!
Let's see what you get! 😁
Oh I seem to have something in my eye...oh there's more of them...hang on... it's ok, they're rolling down my cheeks now...😭 9:20
That poem was lovely, and so true. You really do make so many people happy. It's because you're so sweet, humble, funny, and completely bonkers, and we appreciate a bit of bonkers over here.
I couldn't have a RUclips channel because, well first off I swear too bloody much, but because the negative comments would destroy me. I'm certain there's an absolutely VILE side to having a social media presence, just in comments you have to constantly prove yourself with people who deliberately interpret every letter in the worst way possible. I'm sometimes astounded how a perfectly lovely comment can be twisted into something completely mean and spiteful.
Focus on the genuine love we have for you and ignore the miserable bastards because their only joy in life is sucking joy out of others. I know it's easier said than done, but you have to just delete their comments and block them. Don't even be tempted to read their whole comment once you realise where it's heading. We'll take care of them in the comments also. I'm not so great at advocating or prioritising myself, but when I see people attack someone else when there's no provocation or justification to do so, then I can't keep my mouth shut. I'm all for people expressing their opinion and feelings, but there's no need for anyone to be an ignorant arsehole when doing so.
Right, my eyes are dry. Let's continue! 😁
39:00 yayayay Princess Sophia joined the party! Her little voice is so cute. 🤗
She "WUVS teddy bears" "WUVS Bunnies" "WUVS chicks" "WUVS dragons"
Precious little girl. I WUV you, Sophia! 💖
This was so lovely to watch. These videos are heartwarming. The gifts people send, are sent with so much personal intention, not generic at all. That just proves how well loved you all are, that you're such a delight for people to buy for. I got a few more tears here and there, seeing you happy, makes me feel happy.
I WUV you all so much! 😘😘😘 xxxxx
haha, thanks Tami! We WUV you, too. 😂
For an idea for your marmite sandwich I have marmite and cheese and even though it sounds odd I swear it works
As you have discovered,marmite has a strong taste!🤣. People either love it or hate it! I love it but I have had it since I was a toddler. Started with a tiny smear on a bread and butter slice. The health benefits of yeast extract were expected to help me grow😃. If you are new to it, be sure to keep the amount on your bread or toast VERY THIN and butter the bread first. It is not to be used like you would use jam. Definitely a savoury treat.
The Stamps are called First Day Covers. The adhesive Stamp was invented by a Scot
Cheeky means bold, brash and just a little bit rude. For instance children can be a bit cheeky.
With the Wrexham lagers were beer mats and a drip mat which you find at the bar in pubs
I tried marmite for the first time 30 years ago and never again! 😂 Have you heard it’s a love it or hate it kind of thing?
You are good people! Its heartwarming that you appreciate everything and appreciate our British culture. Take care xx
Christmas every week there.
Cheddar Cheese and marmite sandwich, but only a thin smear of marmite
Your daughter is so cute, what we say in Scotland is a 'bonnie wee lassie' xx
