Without fail, every UK railway station has various Samaritans suicide helpline posters to call if you’re tempted to kill yourself under the train. Always cheers you up on the way to work.
We also leave out a mince pie and a carrot (carrot for the reindeer). A mince pie is an English cultural food. It used to be called mincemeat pie cuz it used to be actual meat but now it’s just fruit. The jar of fruit for the filling u can buy is still called mincemeat tho. The fruit is normally sultanas, raisins, apricots and stuff like that. It’s specifically a Xmas English cultural food. Tastes amazing especially with custard or bandy butter
I am Swedish and a few years back I was in Chicago on a businesstrip. We had a teamday with our US colleagues and after that we went out for dinner, paid by the company. The US boss was very strict on paying for alcohol with the company's money, but he worked for a Swedish company, and my Swedish boss was also there and told him to stop it. So we got free drinks the whole evening 😀
We always left a pint bottle of beer and Christmas mince pies for Father Christmas. We knew he enjoyed it because it was all gone when we got up in the morning, and there were presents under the tree.
I was on a sales training course 30 odd years ago and the sales manager of the company whose product we were training to sell joined us at the end of the 5 day course and made the mistake of putting his card behind the hotel bar. 18 of us took it as a personal challenge. 9 hours later we were drinking Creme de Menthe and Cherry Brandy as everything else had run out. Next morning he got the bill of over £1, 300 and was not amused. NEC D3 team, you know who you are!🤪😆
The thing about the smiley employee on the poster reminds me of the time I went into a Walmart when I was in Los Angeles, and there was this huge banner that said "We love our customers!" it was so cheesy I just burst out laughing and then had the giggles every time one of the employees was friendly. The American friend I was with was not impressed. 🙃
So I can do an American accent but it changes as I use it. I usually start with a pretty neutral accent but somehow I always end up with a mix of Boston and Southern drawl. You might not think such an accent is possible but I assure you, my good man, it is and it is weird. Anyways, cheers and thanks.
The tradition of putting out stuff for santa predates santa claus. It's a Scandinavian tradition for the "nisse", kinda like gnomes living in your stable and barn helping you with your animals. It's a gift given as a thank you for for all the work they've done as well as a bribe because they could be very vicious if you didn't behave or treated your animals poorly. So for the original meaning of it it made sense to put out some alcohol and a good meal (porridge is quite common), but when it's just one guy consuming everything he'll probably say no thanks to both cookies and booze after the first 20,000 houses.
Just so u know Jack is REALLY REALLY posh that’s why he has that accent. The majority of the country don’t sound like him. That’s why he said in Glasgow he was public enemy number 1. Obvs a lot of Scots don’t like the English but it’s WAY more when it’s a posh one - even us English HATE posh ppl
I am surprised by the painting on the background: it is the 'Treaty of Ghent' where the US were acknowledged by the UK as an independent state. The room where this happened still exists but has not been maintained properly. I know because I'm living in Ghent, Belgium.
I found myself living in London in the late 80's. I got a great job and the first day we all went off to the pub for lunch. I was familiar with the American martini lunch, but did not expect what happened that day. After three pints, I was worried about getting back work after getting buzzed off the strong beer. My new co-workers laughed and thought that was cute, as I didn't realize this happens every day! One of them told me: " No worries, we just go back in, shuffle some papers on your desk, then call it a day and go home. Or, go back to the pub! ".
As Jack Whitehall says, he's been trying to crack into America, he recorded a role in Frozen - to have his lines cut; he has supporting roles in The Nutcracker and Cinderella (the Netflix version), and a bigger role in Clifford.
Jack Whitehall went to the same school as Robert Pattinson and you should really watch the unhinged rant hs has about how he competed with him for school play parts; it's an exercise in psychiatric 'breakthrough' in repressed anger.

But the train would be late or cancelled. You'd get cold and need a piss.
My father used to say on Christmas Eve, “Father Christmas only likes single malt whiskey, not blend”
Clever dad.

Yh the alcohol we leave out is either sherry, whiskey or brandy
@@lydiamichaels1976 we usually left shortbread, but that maybe the whole Scottish thing!
@@mral8145 probably yh since mince pies technically aren’t Scottish and shortbread is
The best ever sign I’ve ever seen in a train station in the UK was in London where it said “want to reduce gas prices in the U.K. ? Move country”LOL😂😂
Wait, it said 'gas prices' and not 'petrol prices'? Or was it an ad for British Gas?

Jack Whitehall has a terrific show called "Travels with my Father".
😅😅 love watching your reactions and smile. 🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦
Can't say I ever really rated or even watched this guy much but this was pretty funny.

That is true about the alcohol consumption 🤣

Not keen on sherry so my kids always left a glass of cognac for 'santa'

If you like Jack Whitehall, you must watch Travels with My Father, a travel show with his elderly dad.
when i was in glasgow centre it was like london, but more polite, i had a fusion meal and didnt meet any rough or rude people
Top man big man. Haste ye back!
What's a fusion meal?
Is radioactive.

I love that the funniest thing you took from that vid was his attempt at American accents, not the actual jokes lol
That’s not true u melon
@@lydiamichaels1976👌
Funnily enough, not using the same accent every time is exactly the approach Jack Whitehall takes when he plays an American in a film too.
Its got to be Hi Ren, then his band the Big Push doing I Shot The Sheriff/Road to Zion, Hip Hop street performance!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I'm not a fan of many comedians but I do like this one. Very good.

He was also in the film jungle cruise with the rock and Emily Blunt.
Also can't forget he was one of the main characters in season 1 of good omens
Jack Whitehall, okay!
2:22 huh?... Why would you drin.......... WAIT! NO, WHAT???.... sAnNntTtaAaa!!!!

you should react to part 2 of what if america joined the axis that you started over a year ago about time you know
Aw ye face at the end 🤣 ta ❤️
Connor,I do hope you can try out some reactions to Russell Howerd. He's well worth a look
07:48 - Jessica Jane Clement. You're welcome.
My Father Christmas got cider and some mince pies
Connor, you’ve now become an honourary Brit. I love your accents. Please come to the UK and have a jolly old time.
Try looking up Jack Whitehall and Mr Blobby on the big fat quiz it's hilarious
My anxiety disorder is so bad I'm slightly panicking that Connor will cut his hair... I don't think my meds are working 😅
Oh well 🤷♂️
Watch Jack Whitehall Travels with my father 😄
Just come back from a 2 night hotel stay and got free 2 glasses of wine each night. Bonus is my wife does not drink, so got two per night!
Don't talk across the soundtrack, Connor.
If you haven’t watched any Billy Connolly videos have a look for some. He is one of the best comedians we have.
For the avoidance of any doubt, Glasgow is a cosmepolitan city and every single word Jack spoke is absolute crap.
Jack's dad is funnier than Jack
Why all the bleeps ? Is it RUclips? Daft !
