We don't use toilet brushes after every use, we use it when it's needed. If there's a skid, you use it, if there's no skid, we don't. Having more water makes no difference to whether a skid is left or not, because biggest majority of the time, skids are under the water. But the reason we have less water in the bowl & less power in a flush, is because we try to preserve water. Using more than what's needed is just a waste, and given we've done just fine with our toilet design for hundreds of years, kinda proves your design is just wasting water, as that much is not required.
When there's a skid mark, the boys play their favourite game.
@@seanstirling2685 If they play their favourite game with skids 'under' the water, they're going to lose.
I piss mine off and others… really improves your aim.
Same in Australia
Best way to avoid skid marks to begin with, lay a piece of toilet paper on the back bit of the inside toilet. Does that trick every time.
A few things…
1, us Brits don’t use a toilet brush after every visit. The toilet brush is there to clean the toilet, not wipe away traces of every single defecation that people leave. If the toilet get dirty, then we use a brush.
2, you don’t “heat up” a hot water bottle, you fill it with hot water from the kettle (making sure to remove any air so it doesn’t expand and explode all over you)
JT, this is for you especially. You should NEVER heat up water in a microwave. It can super heat and if anything drops in it, the water could instantly turn to steam and “explode” quite violently. They proved this on Mythbusters.
3, squash (the drink you mix with water, always put the juice in the glass first as well, then the water) is also called cordial.
4, Sparky is just a “nickname” for an electrician. Just like “chippy” is a nickname for a carpenter (also a fish and chip shop)
Everybody i know calls squash Diluting juice
@@SmokeyBeardeveryone I know just calls it dilute pop
Think the squash thing is regional. I grew up in South UK and it was 'squash'. Hubby is from the North and calls it 'juice' (it is not juice, juice has pulp etc in it. I will NOT be converted!!).
@@lucylindsay3442 Northerner here, squash is used here too, cordial if you're being fancy. Juice is only ever used for fresh juice whether it has pulp or has been strained but never for squash which has to be diluted to be called squash so your hubby is not typical
@@timenchanter1983 lol 'not typical' sounds about right 😂
A consequence of having more water in an American toilet bowl is that the toilets overflow when they're blocked. UK toilets almost never overflow and we hardly ever have to use a plunger, to the point that most people dont even own one.
to be fair i only use a plunger to unclog my sink drain :D never used it for the toilet
@@Freakyman403 Totally different plungers. Only plumbers have the toilet ones.
@@helenwood8482 its still a plunger and to be honest never needed a plumber to come out to use one :D
After an £80 call out for a plumber to use his £3 plunger from a well known diy store to unblock the toilet, I now own one just in case to save £77 😂
@@clarelawton4653
That must be either one of the bonus points of being a tenant of both a council, but now (since the Council sold off lots of it's social housing stock to a tenants-owned & run Housing Association) being a HA Tenant means any repairs including plumbing needs are not charged to the tenant... Whether or not the Leaseholders are charged, I don't know but obviously I do know (because my late late brother-in-law; & now also my late sister, owned their own house) that homeowners need to pay for any repairs, installations and plumbing etc.
It used to be that tenants in social housing were looked down upon by tenants with private landlords or who owned their own houses. I don't know if we are still looked down upon by those people. I hope not but I wouldn't be surprised if they did, because, sadly, some people are not very nice...
Not every social housing tenant is a troublemaker within their community. Some are😠, and they spoil the reputation of those of us who are not.😢
Syphonic flush toilets are a British invention first patented in 1897. They fell out of favor in the UK because they are more prone to blockages than the commoner wash through bowl. The syphonic action also makes the bowl noisier. Toilet brushes are just for cleaning, you generally don't need them for the rare occasion these occur and they are never used for plunging because this is not necessary with a wash through bowl but is more common with a syphonic because of the narrow restriction in the outlet that is needed to create the syphon.
This is literally the most useless information in the world. Love you xx
Thank you, JT. We do not use toilet brushes to push poop down the U-bend, we use it to clean. The fact that Evan thinks that speaks volumes about his housemates. Blackcurrants, Whitecurrants and Redcurrants are tart little fruits that we enjoy, because we don't like everything so sweet it gives you toothache. Watched the camping, it made my old heart so happy to see you two having such fun. A hot water bottle is a rubber container that you fill with hot water and it stays hot for at least 8 hours. I'm 73 and it was the only way to heat the bed when I was a child with no heating. We can't waste water and domestic fuel they are so expensive. In the summer we may even get our water rationed or cut off. We have a hot summer, you can't use a hose pipe for any reason. We are encouraged to limit our showers and the amount we wash clothes, wash-up, or put the dishwasher on. 😂😂❤❤👵🏴🌹🌹
I work in care and when helping someone in the toilet I have needed to use the toilet brush to put it down the u bend.
We also have another safety feature to our outlets, if a device malfunctions the fuse box will switch off power to that outlet in a split second. The fuse box will shut off power to all outlets that share the same circuit, all you need to do is remove the offending device and flip the relevant switch on the fuse box and all power is restored.
..or "remove the offending device and change the fuse wire of the relevent fuse in the fuse box" in older homes. Not all homes have trip switches!
This is true, I've had a trip box for so long I'd forgotten about fuse wire.
A trip switch
Anyone without a trip fuse box needs to call their Electric company. A fuse box must be upgraded at least every 15 years, and meters every 10 years.
Part of our electric Plug safety is that our voltage is more than double the us power in a domestic house
Grapes are great. Grape juice is great. Grape flavour stuff tastes like the taste you get in your mouth when you inflate a plastic pool toy with your mouth. There is NO WAY that it is a superior flavour to blackcurrant.
As a Brit, I always find visiting the USA quite futuristic because of architecture, appliances, etc. But then I see the outlets and it feels like I'm in a third world country.
All true.
Ironically, most third world countries, (or at least, those within the developing world who were once colonised by the British), have BS plugs as a consequence, anyway.
We do have grape flavour. We call it "Wine" 😉
it's suggested that electricians designed the British plug, accountants designed the American one :)
It’s actually scientifically proven that less water in the bowl creates a stronger vacuum for the “waste” to be sucked into the drains, eliminating any real need to have a plunger by the toilet in the first place. This is the reason that US toilets have to flush so aggressively. They need to to create the same vacuum that they could get just by lowering the water level..
In all my life I have never seen a plunger in a British toilet. Perhaps Americans need them in theirs because of all the c**p food they eat.
Toilets in the UK don’t flush via a vacuum. They flush because the extra water from the cistern forces the water already in the toilet to be flushed away due to over filling the water level past the U bend. 🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️
Syphonic toilets used in the US are actually a 19 century British invention. They fell out of favor because they are more prone to blockages and are noisy. They wash though and there is no suction or vacuum
I flush all kinds of stuff in the UK including wipes they never block.
You aren't supposed to flush wipes.....They do block the sewage system being the major cause of the "fatbergs".
Those wipes that contain plastic are in the process of being banned.
Some other British nicknames for professions:
Electrician - sparky (obviously)
Builder/bricklayer - brickie
Carpenter - chippie
Mechanic - grease monkey
Plumber - spanner monkey
Plasterer - spreader (as in muck spreader)
Painter and decorator - tosher
Moonlighter (has two jobs esp. a night-shift) - yosser
Boss/supervisor - gaffer
Trainee - gopher
Someone who is a nightmare to work with - Freddy
Speaking of electics, we have circuit breakers here in the UK that automatically isolate all power to that specific circuit if it detects a fault or a surge.
It will literally flip the power off by itself.
Yet another reason deaths by electrocution are so low here.
Blackcurrants contain a wide variety of nutrients. They are widely known as being a good source of vitamin C, providing nearly three times the Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA) in a 100g serving. Blackcurrants are a source of both soluble and insoluble fibre.
Easy to grow too.
Squash is also a bat and ball sport where the players hit a small ball against a wall in turn. It's actually really difficult because the ball travels incredibly fast. It's kind of like tennis, but with both players on the same side of the court, and with the net being replaced by the wall, in order to create the bounce back required. My eyes have never been good enough to keep up with it (not to mention it hurts a lot if you get hit by the ball).
We do not keep plunges next to our toilets in the United Kingdom. He must be eating concrete if that is his way to flush away his crap, we only use a toilet brush for the skid marks. you have a big problem if your toilet needs a plunger 🤦
Ha hahahaha
It's for when you been backed up for a while and it all comes out at once, needs a bit of extra help.
I think every (most) house has a toilet plunger ... somewhere.... the shed maybe? It's bought as an 'in case' that hopefully we never use! .. plus in a pinch if you have a slow drain toilet due to too much paper needed the loo brush will easily clear that. Ohh thats the other use for a toilet brush , you kinda half plunge half brush the water out of the bowl before cleaning so that water line can get covered in cleaner/limescale remover while you clean the rest of the toilet, and then can be scrubbed without splashing cleaner+water all over yourself lol
I agree. Before these Americans make bold statements they need to check the facts. People say "crap" because the syphonic US toilets were invented by the British Thomas Crapper in 19th century
Our street clogged our toilet, we needed a plunger
You can also use Ribena to make Ice Lollies in the summer , my mum did this with orange squash/cordial when I was a child.
Ohh yes I forget. we did that too 🎉
Squash is NEVER referring to anything other than a concentrate processed drink, Pressed fruit is referred to as Juice, two very different things.
The concentrate in the bottle is ‘Squash’.
The drink after water added is also ‘Squash’.
The bottled concentrate can also be known as cordial.
@@nigelanscombe8658 Diluting juice
Or the sport
The vegetable is called squash. Butternut squash, acorn squash etc.
Dilute pop, squash is just a word imported from America like candy
In the forties we had an outside lavatory situated at the bottom of the garden. A wooden seat with a hole, which had to be emptied and buried. Wonderful on a
snowy night! No toilet rolls. Old newspapers cut into squares and hung on the wall with string.
The need to spend a penny in the middle of the night was catered for by a porcelain chamber pot under the bed, to be emptied outside the following morning. Happy days.😮
This guy speaks for himself and himself alone.
👌
He is extremely irritating, totally drunk on his own farts and to top it off, has never really grasped the concept of anything he talks about.
Totally agree more like talking out of his aarse.
100%
“We used to stick things into the outlet, just to get shocked…”🤔
JT, my furry American friend, that really does explain a lot…🤔😂
Fill a hot water bottle with cold water and chill in the fridge. Put it in the bed on hot, clammy evenings. It keeps you cool.
Have never thought to do that, what a great idea, thank you 👍
in the UK people get nicknames based on their job, electrician = sparkey, people who work with wood = chippy and brick layers are brickies
I want to be a brickie.
Care assistant = arsewipe.
(I'm a care assistant I'm not insulting others 😂)
No quite true. A sparky = electrician. Carpenter/joiner = chippy, etcetera.
It's slang for the trade, not a person's nickname.
@@Crunch2327 Yup, Postman = Postie, Evri/Hermes delivery driver = f**cking useless.
I am a Plumber, I used to tell the girls i was A Pipe Surgeon lol.
Squash is nicer when you add it to fizzy water
Oh: the electric kettle : when you use it only put enough water in it as you need because most of the time you only about a third of a kettle to boil and use. It’s cheaper on the electric and also quicker to boil so only as much as you need. Ok??
Cheers Aah Kid!!
The panto is a british tradition that all kids love. There are some top actors who perform Jack and the Beanstalk, Cinderella, Peter Pan and many more well known children's fairy tales. It's a type of musical comedy which the audience, mainly the kids take part in along with the cast on the stage. Good family fun.
Sometimes there are also panto's just for the adults too. There are several on youtube, or at least used to be. Try Jim Davidson's Puss In Boots. You may get a relatively short scene with Jim and Charlie Drake, but I think the whole show is there too?
Yes 'sparky' is a nickname for an Electrician, we also call joiner/carpenters 'chippy's'.
You need to work out your's and Anna's UK shoe sizes, so we can send you some cool wellies that nobody in the States has.
If this helps:
JUST subtract ONE from the US shoe size to find the UK shoe size. Painless, eh?
Best live show for audience involvement is not any Panto, it's the Rocky Horror Show... absolute genius.
Black currants are popular because they're super high in vitamin C.
A Mars a day helps you work rest and play.
The old ad slogan.
Wellies were originally called Wellington boots because they looked similar to the boots the Duke of Wellington wore. Billy Connolly wrote a funny song about wellies. It's on YT somewhere.
If it wasnae for your wellies, where would you be?
You'd be in the hospital or infirmary
You'd have a nasty dose of the flu or even pleurisy
If you didnae have your feet in your wellies!
I wear my wellies with pearls and a Laura Ashley skirt and blouse. True😮😮
If it wisnae fur yer wellies
Wherewud you be?
You'd be in the hospital
Or in firmary
Cause you wid hive a dose o the flu
Or even plurasie
If it wissne fur yer feet in yer wellies!
I guess the easiest way to explain a Pantomime/Panto is.. It's a theater show from fairy tails or nursery rhymes, but with audience participation. Always based around kids stories, often stuff like "Jack and the beanstalk" or "Peter Pan" or "Dick whittington" (which i think is where puss in boots comes from) When the baddy comes out on stage the kids will all gasp and the goody will be all like "Where is he can anyone see him?" (while deliberately having his back to the baddy) Then everyone (kids and grown ups alike) can all yell out "HE'S BEHIND YOU!"
I've never liked pantos. As a kid I'd get so frustrated that they wouldn't just listen and look behind them.
JT should watch the rocky horror picture show panto 😄
Dick Whittington and Puss in Boots are very different stories.
Can't usually stand some Americans but I love watching your videos. you seem really open minded and chill
I love how this has stirred up a debate on skid marks 😂 In our house, due to a small bathroom, I detatch the showerhead from its holster and blast 'said' skids to oblivion.
When leaving a bus it is polite to say “cheers Drive” to the bus driver.
A small tip JT, if you get alot of moisture in your garden causing mud plant heather. Heather is really good at absorbing moisture.
"It's not too unhealthy" yeah I remember back in the 90s I wasn't allowed Ribena due to it's sugar content. I suspect they've sorted that out now with sugar alternatives but it was like a national problem where you'd hear mums complaining about it all the time.
Saw Ian McKellen in a pantomime playing the dame. So funny.
Rice, wheat in a long sack and microwaved
Pantomimes are mainly for kids but like Disney and Pixar films have adult jokes mixed in and adults mainly get involved for there kids,not to say adults don’t enjoy them as well.
Great reaction video! A sparky is just our slang word for an electrician, not the official name 😅 thanks again! ❤
Judging by your reactions to this video, you are an honorary Brit! Your updated papers are in the post. Kentuckians seem to get it. No wonder I love your videos!
my toilet doesn't leave stains! what the f is this guy eating!
Same. And Ive never needed to use a plunger.
I’ve had US grape jelly and it’s the most bland jam I’ve ever had in my life. Though I also remember being really disappointed by Oreo’s too.
I doubt that there is anyone in the UK who needs to use a toilet brush every time the use the loo.
Squash is just a colloquial term for concentrated fruit drink that Evan was on about. Where I grew up in Scotland, nobody called it squash, we called it diluting juice but there are different names for it both colloquially and descriptively. They are also known as cordials.
My Dad was an electrician. Their official title is electrician but they are known as sparks or sparkies.
Only children in the US uses grape jelly.
oreos probably the worst biscuits in the worls, like eating hard sugar soaked cardboard.
@@grrfy Cookie, JK 😂, dam right it's a Biscuit 😁.
I've never heard it referred to as "diluting juice". I've heard squash, cordial, concentrate, but never "diluting juice". Are you sure that isn't a regionalism?
@@talideon seeing as how I specifically stated that it was called diluting juice where I grew up in Scotland and that these were colloquial terms, was surely an unambiguous inference of regionalism in the names used. I never claimed that it was a term used throughout the UK just that it was the one used where I grew up. Just as where I grew up we called carbonated soft drinks fizzy juice but I’m perfectly aware that it’s not known by that throughout the UK…in fact less than thirty miles from where I grew up carbonated soft drinks were all called ginger.
To be honest, I’m not really sure of the point of your question as I stated it was a regionalism just without using that exact word.
WOW WOW for a guy who looks like an academic he dont seem to know alot
Squash in the UK can also called Diluting Juice in some parts, especially Scotland I have found.
Squash" was originally short for lemon squash, though the name has of course spread to other flavours. The first cordials were tonics in Renaissance Italy, booze-based medicines flecked with pearls or poppies.
But basically Squash these days even though concentrated too.
Is made mostly from fruit juices .
Which to get juice out of a fruit ,youd have to squash it . Not sure , but thats how you get most juice out of a fruit.
Squash/Concentrate/Cordial are different names used for the type of drink, Ribena is a brand. Wellies is short for Wellington Boots that were named after the Duke of Wellington. If someone needs to use the toilet brush every time they use the toilet, they're doing something wrong.
I'm too lazy to use a toilet brush. I just pour bleach in there over skids, 10 mins later flush again, stains gone without touching icky toilet brushes.
@@irene3196 If stains persist it becomes a game of chance to 'piss off the skid' (for blokes that is lol)
The toilet only stains in the UK after use if you don't flush it and allow the stain to go hard. Usually everyone flushes after use so the stains flush away and if you do get some stains there a second flush deals with it. Only time I've ever had to use he brush which we all have in the UK, is when it got slightly blocked to help push the blockage through.
No excess/deep water = no "splash back" when taking a dump, plus the overall design means that the flushing water washes down the sides effectively and the suction generated whips it all swiftly down the pipework, plus there's less chance of a blockage, or a floater left after. flushing.
I've never had to use a plunger on a toilet...but I did once have to defrost a frozen solid toilet in a very cold winter - salt, lots of salt.😬😁
Every Scottish kid has a hot water bottle - its the rule
Ribena drink with ice-cubes is mind altering. 🇬🇧
Even nicer with a shot of gin…
@@rosemarymee Now I could be persuaded. ❤️🇬🇧
So one Yank says these DON'T exist in the STATES and another says they DO !?
No one in the UK keeps a plunger next to the toilet !
We only use the brush to get rid of stubborn stains....NOT after every use !
I do, but it's not for the toilet, but the sink/bath if they start running slowly.
So it's just HIM that has never used a bog brush, haha.
You can buy grape jelly in the UK, I've bought it, and I've bought a jar of grape jelly with peanut butter in the same jar, or grape jelly with marshmallow fluff in the same jar.
They should put a label on the toilet brush, for emergency use only. We use ours only when necessary. And of course when giving the rest room, bathroom a regular cleaning. Now we all have central heating, hot water bottles are only used when it is extra cold, or when the heating system goes down .
Have you shared your spare electric kettles with your family? Are they as impressed as you? 😂
Bruce Willis and Cybil Shepherd were in a show called Moonlighting and regularly broke the 4th wall
The best toilet brush I’ve found is a silicone one - stuff from the toilet like toilet roll and other nasty stuff DOESN’T stick to it, like a normal one would. They are easy to use and never wear out - better for your pocket and better for the environment!
A pantomime is like a comedy play (Dick Whittington, Cinderella, Snow White, Puss in Boots, Aladdin etc.) The cast of the play recognises the audience as being there and will talk directly to them. The audience is part of the play and they're going on the adventure too!
Probably something you have to experience rather than have explained. It's much better at a smaller reginal theatre than a big westend one.
It's a lesser known fact that us male Brits are very well endowed & the last thing we need is dipping the tackle in the water when going for a number 2
That man seems he's on summat !!!! He's too hyped up!! 🤔🤔🤔

William's Wish Wellington is a 1995-ish old cartoon for young kids about a kid with magical red Wellington boots.
I once worked with a fella from another country that didn't know what toilet paper was 😂 they used their hands and washed their hands afterwards, I just thank god they knew what a tap was for 😅
But can you imagine how filthy the tap was !!!!
My late father was in North Africa during WW2.and he often remarked that the'--‐-'s didn't wash their right hands! (Much to my mother's horror).
Eeew all that crap on the tap 🤢🤢🤢🤮🤮🤮
I hope he wasn’t a chef 🤢and can you imagine the state of this fellas undies 😩
A dash of blackcurrant cordial in coke makes a delicious drink. Hot blackcurrant is also very popular if you have a cold or during winter probably due to the extra vitamin c.
Ok never tried in coke! I love hot ribena when I’m ill
@@Stereophonicsobsessed
Give it a whirl. Used to have it when as a family we went for that infamous Sunday drive and stopped at a pub. I still have it on occasion and have mentioned it to the Coca Cola reps( I work in retail) but they said it’s probably because blackcurrant isn’t popular globally.
@@russell.s4771 lol I will
I think calling it Squash is quite a middle class thing in the U.K., I’ve personally pretty much always heard it called “Cordial”
Whaaaat? I'm working class as are all my family and friends. Never heard anyone call it Cordial. I am aware of the word, just never heard it. Squash all the way.
@@Themovieman1969same - from my part of the world, squash was very much the working class term and “cordial” was for the fancy people who wore white to play tennis and had staff to bring them cucumber sandwiches with the crusts cut off - not for the hoi polloi like us :)
Cordial is the posh way to say squash, so I have to disagree that squash is middle class. In the supermarket you only find the expensive ones getting called cordial or the ones with weird flavour combinations.
It's the exact opposite. Cordial is a way posher thing to call it.
Cordial is the proper posh word. Squash or diluting juice are the most common words.
If you rip off a length of toilet paper that is about 5 pieces long then thread each end between the seat and the bowl on both sides until you end up with a toilet paper bridge across the seat, now take a seat and grab hold of each side of the paper that is suspended between the gap under the seat and go about your business, you should end up with a kind of lowering system for your stool that can be descended into the water without splashbacks and skid marks and as a bonus feature you can use this for sneaky dumps as it also removes that Ka-plunk as the stool breaks the surface.
Got electric blankets, heating pads, re-heatable grain packs all great but the hot water bottle when you're not well is unbeatable!
Our toilets are aggressive in the flush it's very quick and toroidal. Swirling around and down
We have grape flavour things too, but ours taste like grape.
I do not want to be rude but you should acknowledge the content creator you are reacting to. Which a lot of reaction channels seem to forget to do and maybe put a link in the description
Evan Edinger 😊
JT, we have different names for most things, a Sparky is an Electrician, a Chippy is a Carpenter, a Brickie is a Bricklayer ECT, I'm sure other folks use different names.
Sparky is a common slang for electrician
They term other trades as ordinary people!!!!
Calling someone a rocket means "Idiot" In Scotland we would say "Bolt ya rocket"
We dilute a squash yes Robinsons squash
That guy talking about toilet brushes was the bizarrest thing ever. We don’t use a brush every time someone uses the toilet - either he spoke to a weird person or they were just winding him up. I’ve never used a toilet brush because I hate the idea of them sitting in the bathroom all covered in bacteria. I just put thick bleach in if one of the kids leave it a mess and within 20 minutes it’s all spotless again. When I’ve been to America I can’t say I noticed a huge difference between toilets apart from a bit more water. I’ve also seen toilet brushes over there so I’m not sure where he grew up 😂. I was surprised when I went to America and went grocery shopping that I couldn’t find squash anywhere. Having to buy ready to drink bottles was a real shock to me. I looked so so carefully to find them and instead only found 3 litre bottles of things like sunny d etc. It’s so expensive to buy drinks that way rather than squash that’s about the same cost as the drinks over there but ends up making about 20 times as much once it’s diluted. He’s also wrong on the grape jelly as most supermarkets now sell that Welch grape jelly.
We don't use toilet brushes on every use, it's mostly used to clean it, especially when there are marks left when you've done the deed lol.
As for the plunger, that's rarely ever used but that will depend on the toilet, some flush better than others, but I've rarely every had to use it on any toilet, but it's nice to have around just in case.
Toilet overflows, I've never seen over the last 40 years of living in the UK, but sometimes you can get where the water rises a bit if it gets blocked, but never enough for it to overflow.
Also, the flush thing isn't a UK thing, that's a toilet thing, some toilet flushes better than others, for example, our toilet downstairs is one of the worst flushes I've seen that it doesn't even flush toilet paper half the time lol, whereas the one upstairs is a powerful flush that will force down the most stubborn poo lol, bot toilets are not older than 10 years, so it's not a UK thing and more a toilet thing, some are better than others, but when buying a toilet or redecorating, the flush is not really something you think about lol.
The main use I've found for a plunger, is for whenever there's an air lock in the u-bend, so that the water in the bowl won't drain away. A couple of plunges and the air block goes - draining the water, (and whatever happens to be floating in it!)
A sparky Is a nickname for an electrician
Where I live in northern England squash is often called 'let down' because of the dilution, I don't know how widespread this is, 'cordial' is another.
Reason for the less water in the toilet is for saving water and to much water can overfill and overflow
We don't have plungers next to the toilet 🪠 what are you eating 🤣🤣 the toilet brush is used when needed or when deep cleaning the loo to scrub bleach around the bowl.
17:39 tbf our houses are alot more crammed together to a house fire endangers more than one family so we have to do everything possible to avoid them
I can honestly say I have never used the toilet brush to clean away skids. I only use it to scrub the bowl after bleaching. If you use it to scrub skids, your brush is dirty and no good for actual cleaning!
What do you use to rid yourself of skids?
@Themovieman1969 Well, if it's s above the water line, I wipe it away with tissue, and if it's below the water line, a courtesy flush usually does the job
When I was a kid the council flat I lived in was that cold that I woke up in the morning and my hot water bottle was FROZEN 😂😂😂
When I was a child I was a dancer which my dancing school was picked to do the dancing for the pantos. We would be around the actors all the time learning dances and helping the cast all the time. So we know the the show from start to finish for about 2 months before the show dates and we have been rehurshing for about 5 months. I could never watch the pantos due to being in them. It's so different when you watch them to being in them. these shows can be 1.5 hours to 2.5 hours and you would do two shows a day for about a week over the christmas period
The grapes used to make wines are not the same type/variety of grapes used in the US to flavour foods, sweets etc.
We don't use a brush after every use. We use if needed or when cleaning the toilet.
They're still called electricians in the UK but Sparky is the slang term for one.
Yes they do have water just less than American toilets because more water causes more overflow and more blockages it just means we have less mess when a toilet is blocked and it's very rare for British toilets to actually get blocked.
This guy seems to live in a different universe to everyone in the uk
In the days before central heating was the norm, bedrooms were unheated. In the winter you were appreciative of a hot water bottle when you fist got into bed. 😆
Toilet brushes are for occasional skid marks , otherwise once a week is fine . I'd be hating the idea of splashes , if you do get a blockage the flush doesn't overflow the bowl . I like blackcurrant , strawberry is fine but can be a bit sweet . It's just amazing the US. uses those plugs without switches .
Our water cistern has been reduced in size to a European Standard so sometimes it takes two flushes to clear the bowl, which the old style cistern only did one flush. The level of water comes down to the size of the U-bend.
If it takes two flushes, you're either using a lot of toilet roll or there might be something wrong with your diet.
From the UK. I've visited Florida, California (Los Angeles. ,San Francisco ,Fresno, Bakersfield ) , Arizona (Las Vegas) Nevada. I have never seen Toilets any different to those in the UK or most of Europe. A Plunger for the Toilet ? Who in the UK , other than a Plumber has one of those ? What are you trying to flush in the US? . Toilet brushes were also common in the US.
Clarification the British plug has to have a ground pin because that opens up the other 2 holes but that ground pin doesn't have to connect to anything or be made of metal. Plenty of uk stuff has no functional ground pin just a plastic pin.
We have grape flavours, there call bottles of wine
Uk plugs are even better as the power terminals are covered in the plug socket until the earth pin is inserted. So no sticking forks in is possible.
Try Ribeana with hot water…. Its ssooo good 😋 you can also have it with clear lemonade (beana-ade). You're welcome😊
About the "Squash", I'm Irish and we don't call it that we call it Diluted Orange, Blackcurrent, etc. My Roommate (also Irish) asked me if he could have some of mine and he drank it undiluted for some reason but never noticed?!! He's a strange one!!🤔🤔
your 'deck boots' are what we would call in my part of SW England Stable Boots, what you wear when mucking out the stables etc, as they're easy to pop on after kicking off riding boots, and your jodhpurs fit inside nicely
