An annoying thing non British people assume is that Wales and Scotland are part of England!
They are part of Uk 🇬🇧 😊
ahh yes i get that aha
I’m a Scot living in England and have been told more than once that I don’t sound Scottish, yes, yes I do however I don’t sound Glaswegian because well? I’m not from Glasgow 🤔
Not exactly Simon Chana, Scotland & Wales along with England are part of Great Britain. The United Kingdom includes Northern Ireland & Great Britain.
We're not really helping our foreign friends when we post how unsure some of us evidently are about the makeup of our own country.
Ha! The Former UK please!
@@tricky1581 He said that Wales and Scotland are a PART of the UK, which is 100% accurate, as is saying that they're a PART of Great Britain (i.e. British). The big mistake that a LOT of foreigners make is thinking that Britain = England.
Hi Amanda, I'm English and I never get ice with a drink as it means you get less of what you paid for and melts and dilutes your drink.
Many British foods are based on Franco-Roman cooking techniques, such as comfort foods like shepherds pie (they have sofritto as their base), and roasts.
In alot of places they just end up putting less in the glass if you don't want ice
We have the best humour in the world....Thats absolutely true! Our sarcasm is second to none. We can be sarcastic with just a look.
They say sarcasm is the lowest form of wit but its the most intelligent as far as Im concerned. 😁👍
Agreed.
💯👍
One job I worked out, I came in contact with a lot of a lot of American business people some of them were arrogant and rude, but I certainly put those in their place very quickly but some of them were the nicest people you ever want to meet it doesn’t matter where you go in the world what country it is there are nice people, there are people that are horrible and there are people that are very reserved. I’ve done an awful lot of travelling in my life, and that’s what I found about every country. We’ve all got our dickheads.
Thank you so much Mike, I absolutely agree :)
@@MikeSmith-ye9ho I remember going to the Austrian tyrol and staying in a hotel,the local people there would say morning to you as you walked in the valley
You are so funny Amanda just love your smile and laughter
Thank you robert :)
@@robertbills4290 it's not annoying it's because they don't know educate them don't get annoyed be nice
To be fair, we don’t just hate Americans, we have everyone, including ourselves! No one self-deprecates like the British 😉
Very true,
haha :)
Scots, Welsh, Cornish and Irish hate the English! They are the scum of the Earth!
Speak for yourself Dumbo! I don’t put myself down, and I’m Cornish!! If you are English, then you are right to self deprecate because you are a racist lowlife like all. Englishmen!!
Unfortunately, there are some Americans that are brash and noisy and they are noticed because of that and in that moment become stereotypes. Other Americans just pass along unnoticed sadly.
plenty of British are brash and noisy too..........
made me laugh about the rain, it was boiling hot here today, till 5pm then we had a thunderstorm.
But without it, we wouldn't have such lovely green areas.
thats so very true :)
No-one is going to dislike you Amanda, intelligent, beautiful and fit, what's not to like or love.
thank you Tony :)
But a shame about all the tattoos 😢😢 not very lady like 😊😊
Is it then in turn, not very gentlemanly like to feel the need to insult me because of them?
@@LADYRAEUK well done, your body your choice, my wife and 1 daughter don’t have any, myself and my other 2 daughters have many! It’s just personal choice and as far as I’m aware we don’t live in Victorian Britain anymore? Surely that’s Donald Trump trying to determine what women do with their bodies? You do you Amanda from a steadfastly liberal dad who shares a life with 4 highly educated martial arts trained kick ass women!!!
@@LADYRAEUK very well put !
London is LITERALLY the least British place in the whole of the UK.
As a Brit who has never left this fine country (why would anyone?) I would struggle to come up with an American parallel. Los Angeles? Due to Hollywood possibly?
yeah that is probably the closest
Well certain parts of Belfast might trump it.
People leave the UK to better themselves,better salary,better lifestyle and education
Beg to differ, Scottish education of a far higher standard than English, you can’t say British education system because there are many tiers, how profoundly uneducated you sound with your inane drivel.
@@iancraig6070 Well not for better healthcare , the NHS is the envy of the World .
Having worked with Americans and visited USA about 10 times I can honestly say that they are definitely not all like the stereotypes. I like them and found most of them to be friendly and easy to get along with.
well thats great to hear :)
@@LADYRAEUKthe same in any country. The real people are on the whole are great. Unfortunately leaders not so.
@@joyelmes7814 I totally agree
When I was in the US I got asked a few times if I'd met the queen??? Yeah, she comes round and does bongs every few months...
Yes I agree , I was asked constantly if I knew the Queen, I would reply yes she comes over for Sunday lunch, lol . And they believed me
It amazes me that so many people still think she's alive!
@@white-dragon4424 Forever in our hearts, orsome kinda Peter Jackson zombie?
When I’m in the USA and buy a cola drink I always say no ice. 1. The cola is always cold anyway. 2. I don’t pay for a mug full of ice and little cola.
👍
I can imagine that the Britons you meet are nice to you, you are after all very likeable and oh that voice of yours. I could listen to you all day long.
whilst visiting Flint Michigan I got asked if I knew a family in Manchester......I live in Blackpool 40 miles away!
So you do? I'm from Preston so of course I know all Mancunians 😂
@@JB-ek4yx 🤣
Don't hate Americans at all but hate Americanisation. I mean can you imagine 90 percent of your wage being tips and the government not taxing it . And fluffy customer service have a nice day ,my god the blood just boils . And what happened to the school disco when you try to sneak in spirts and merrily vandalising you school uniform and putting your hair into a Mohican. No today they have proms just to cost dad a fortune what a disaster
Your blood boils when they say, "have a nice day"?? Why?
@@bubz3t136 Because its pretty fake over kill yeah be polite we all know its a transaction .
@@skyclad40 I hate "Have a nice day" too, as it's so insincere. Even Tesco Express are doing it today. There are many Americanisms in the UK now, and I hate all of them. A particularly annoying one for me is sponsors on TV shows, and even weather broadcasts. They're always unfunny clips that aren't worth seeing. For example, the Bingo ones before, during and after The Chase. If there's one country not to copy, it's the USA. Cheap and tacky.
You are a delight and always welcome here, and probably wherever you may go ! 😊 Some Americans not so much😢 We have a great deal of history and cultural maturity that many Americans are not, unfortunately for them, attuned to, and it grates.
I just wish Americans could spell!!!!
A true "Cockney" is a person born within the sound of Bow's bells(not rung since 1926) from St. Mary-le-Bow church.
Dick van Dyke has a lot to answer for.
By the way, the UK has had the second highest standard of Dental care in the world for years, behind either Germany of Denmark. Google it. The last time I looked, the U.S. was in ninth place. It was obviously Austin Powers that started the whole thing about bad British teeth, but if you watch the movie, you'll see that he never actually says Brits all have bad teeth. What he says is that, back in the 1960s, people with bad teeth were allowed in movies and on TV in Britain.
I think the worst teeth I have ever seen were from somewhere in southern USA, and their teeth were damaged by too much Mountain Dew. That was a TV program about sorting out their teeth so I guess the looked for the worst they could find, I and I don't expect all in that area to have the same teeth (or lack of teeth!). In recent years in UK, at least here where I live, the dentists have been dropping NHS work. I needed emergency dental surgery but waited for months just to be given an x-ray and antibiotics which did nothing for the pain. I was told I needed surgery but the health board couldn't give me any idea when it could be done. I'd had the pain on and off since 2023 but it became unbearable a few months ago, even with painkillers every two hours. I eventually took out a loan and had it done privately. So, I agree we have good dentists but these days only for those that can afford them. It'll take me some time for me to pay it off. That's fine as long as nothing else major goes wrong for a while. My problem was preventable but I stopped seeing my dentist when they changed to private only. At that time the NHS didn't have a list I could join so it was a case of contact dentists and trying to get on their lists. Now the health board has a list again so I am on that. I had a tooth growing through from the top which is longer than all the others and it kept hitting the tooth on the bottom. A bit chipped off a few years ago but it didn't give me any pain at that time. Later it broke the lower tooth into three pieces. Anyway, I've waffled on enough for now 🙂
The bad teeth stereotype existed long before Austin Powers. That film was referencing an existing stereotype. The difference between the British and Americans was that in Britain we focussed on dental health and didn't worry so much about aesthetics whereas Americans seem to be obsessed with having perfectly straight, bright white teeth which aren't necessarily healthy.
The one thing I simply cannot my head around with Americans is the gun culture.
I always thought like that, I'm 67 now and I'd love to have an assault rifle, just saying
Hi Amanda I had 3holidays in America in one year it was the best holidays I had the people were excellent!
Dress according to the weather forecast........ But always carry an umbrella!
And sun cream.
love your observations Amanda. Pleased you understand our sense of humour.
I have a map showing 200 accents in Britain . It shows only one for Wales , I know of at lest 4 . For myself I would go out of my way to help an American tourist . You are the most generous, kind people . Who gave us the tools to fight the Nazis in WWII , we have not forgotten .
🙏I hope you’re well! ☺️
The US 'gave' nothing in WWII.
You need to research the 'conditions' the US imposed on the allies.
Had the US become involved without Japan's 'encouragement', millions of lives would not have been lost.
BTW - US companies, with their govt's blessing, continued trading with Germany for the duration.
The US does nothing unless there's financial profit in it for the US.
You nailed the reserved vs unfriendly thing. Our culture has always had a strong sense of individual privacy (although that has changed in recent years). As a result, we don't tend to ask intrusive questions, or make a show of ourselves.
The teeth thing seems to come from how Brits are less concerned with having ridiculously white or absolutely straight and perfect teeth. A small gap or one being slightly crooked is not a concern. If however one has a mouth which looks like a crooked country gate, then yes we'll get braces or whatever is needed to fix the problem. Slight yellowing with age is normal and not something most people care about, but serious yellowing will be dealt with.
yep i agree :)))
@@LADYRAEUK
Sorry for my rather lengthy comment. I find these sorts of things interesting and tend to dump far more analysis than anyone wishes to read.
Love your vids.
All the best.
Britains weather is due in most part to it's position off the west coast of the continent. Warm water from the Gulf of Mexico streams across 3000 miles of Atlantic Ocean before hitting landfall in the form of the British Isles. As the warm moist air rises over the coast it can condense to form rain very easily unless it is hot enough to remain as water vapour. These systems include the remnants of tropical hurricanes that have expended their energy on the southern states but can pick up loads of moisture as it approaches the UK. Once the eye of a weather system has passed us it circulates over France, Germany and Scandinavia, drawing down colder air from the Arctic. Their effect on the UK depends on how far north or south the Jet Stream is lying.
This is why we say you can experience 4 seasons in one day in Britain, a warm day can quickly become wet, cold, windy depending on what is coming in from the sea, but it keeps everything green, hence Ireland being the "Emerald Isle", we sing about Englands "Green and pleasant land", and we can grow palm trees in Scotland.
My only awareness of American tourists in the UK came about 40 years ago, in a cafe/restaurant in Bournemouth when all I could hear was an American yelling out “Coffee, coffee” in order to get the server’s attention. Might have been normal in the USA but was mightily out of place in sleepy Bournemouth. My interaction with Americans, on my one visit to the States, is extremely positive. The service staff loved my Hampshire accent and two Miami Beach cops posed for photos with us, with one giving my youngest son his nightstick to pose with, having first pretended to offer him his gun. And the biggest coincidence was being waited on by a young woman named Charlene who had friends who lived in the same area of Southampton where I was raised as a child. ❤
Southampton raised here since 1966
British rain is fairly gentle. When the first Mini was sent to BMC Australia, it was taken out of the box and was checked over, oil and water etc. Then was driven out of the factory building. It failed to get out of the factory grounds. On that day Sydney was have alight shower of rain, an inch in an hour (well light by Sydney's standards). The investigation revealed a lack of water proofing. The Australians were amazed because they thought it rained all the time in the UK. One British person said that the rain in the UK was nothing compared to Australia.
One I hear a lot is "Wales is in England"
My stepmother is from Swansea. When she initially told me she was from Wales, my 8-year-old brain thought, "How can you be from a whale?"
Boils my piss.
@@thomasbeauchamp3781 I'm in Pembrokeshire but I don't have any whale in me 🙂 I was born in UK but grew up in Africa. I used to talk about the foreigners out there when I was a kid and mum would point out that I'm also a foreigner, so I corrected myself, "no, but they're REAL foreigners!" 🙂 I suppose that could only come from a Brit living in a colony!
@@thomasbeauchamp3781maybe she could have helped by explains that as all life began as aquatic, and some gradually evolved to become land dwelling, then eventually humanoid, - in fact we all come from Whales.
I don't think many Americans know where Wales is.
You are gorgeous Amanda and love the channel 😍
It’s that bloody wet rain….its the worst.
LOL!
@@LADYRAEUKDo you prefer heavy rain?
I agree with Paul, we do have a particular very fine rain here, you think your ok to walk in it, 2 minutes later your soaked through because it penetrates everything,
It’s soft though
The UK has the worst weather but the best climate. There is a difference.
Weather can change at the drop of a hat,i think with the uk we could be 15minutes drive from one area and the accent is different,you are a testament to how an American can be beautiful inside and out,i have to watch your streams amanda
thank you so much, thats really kind :)
@@LADYRAEUK your welcome
Dear Madam,many thanks for next great,perfect,interesting video ( of course - like always). Very warm greetings from the Central Europe. In every case - God bless the UK and God bless America. Have a nice,beautiful fall-time or autumn-time and take care,please.
I hope you're well and have a ncie weekend
I've done some bike rides in the States. I agree people very. I was fortunate to meet Americans I got on with. I did stop at a cafe and was talking to a local on the way to Bryce Canyon. After a while he admitted that he was most interested in my accent because I was the first Brit he'd spoken to.
Most of the "cockney" accent is Dick van Dykes, Mockney, no one speaks like that. A lot of americans only have that as a example
I prefer that to the current Jafakan or Nogerian.
Having lived outside the UK for 35yrs, the most mentioned British stereotype is the drunkeness. Drinking on the street is illegal in most of North America, that shocks many, tourists to London also take about the crowds standing in the streets outside pubs after work drinking heavily and loudly. And business people - especially in more "liberal" professions are shocked by being invited to meeting in the pub. - I've even heard comedians in conversation who were shocked to be invited to a pub to see an agent or tv exec.
I actually had sister who worked in the UK offices of an American company about 45 years ago, whose contract stipulated that she was not allowed to drink at lunchtime, she had to sign an agreement, it was a fireable offence.
Oh really? that just goes to show how different the drinking culture really is
It’s a massive difference. When I’m back in the UK I am shocked by it too.
It's called 'freedom' something the US boasts about but doesn't deliver. Can't walk in the street (don't they know people came first not cars?), can't drink in public, can't walk freely in residential areas without risk of being shot, etc. Here, if people abuse their freedoms they get arrested and face legal consequences (if caught). The American answer seems to be 'forget the freedom thing' and a flat - 'no-one can do that.'
Never mind the weather read up on British history whether it be religious, Royalty, military industrial or scientific. It is fascinating.
Oi! M'Lady! It's best to fight that generalization urge.A salesman in a camera store pointed out a little old lady dressed in fairly shabby clothes. "She comes in here often and buys the most expensive equipment we have." People can be surprising... Isnit? 😜
oh for sure ! :)
Sadly we all don't know the King now , I'm certainly with you on the weather Amanda .
As a middle aged Brit he's not my king now. Royalty died with QEII for me. The man's an idiot.
:))
Ice in a drink? Yep ... that's the way to ruin good whisky.
I have some life long friends from America. Very kind and caring people. We have far more in common than we are different. Stereotyping is not untypical sometimes with a grain of truth.
i completely agree Ray :)
1) It´s not British people who are quiet; people are quiet in lots of countries. The outlier is Americans. Why do they always talk so loud? I was in a restaurant once in Greece. At the far side of the restaurant from me was a table at which were sitting a Greek , a Japanese and an American. I could hear nothing the first two said, but EVERY WORD the American said: what she was studying, where her parents worked, her not-particularly-scintillating opinions of the places in Europe she had visited. This story was some years ago, and anecdotal at the time, but I´ve had similar experiences many times over regarding Americans. Amanda, you are soft-spoken proof that not all Americans fit this stereotype; but I´m at a loss to understand why so many do. 2) I have to disagree about the asking what you "do" (i.e. what your job is). Although Americans do it a lot, it is still quite common in Britian, too. Here in Spain, it´s very rare. We have some friends we´ve known four years who have never asked my wife about her work. 3) The thing about the food: food standards in the USA are much lower than the UK (and the EU) and even have things like a minimum admissable amount of rat hair in food, so Americans ought to look at home first, before critiscising anyone else. 4) If Brits have "bad teeth", then so must Americans, since most Americans still descend from the islands of Britain and Ireland (and, don´t forget, Ireland was part of the UK until 1921). 5) I don´t think many Brits actively hate Americans. But - since we´re dealing with lazy stereotypes - I was definitely brought up to believe the obviously nonsensical notion that Americans are all a bit stupid.
Most pubs where I live have a lidded ice bucket with tongs on the bar. If you want ice in your drink you just help yourself.
Generally speaking I quite like the colonials. Of course there are odd ones, but that holds true no matter where you are. They talk funny and they tend to throw tea in to seawater - I don't know why; they just do. But on balance they are a decent if strange and somewhat quirky bunch.
Oh! And I can attest that the Queen thing is absolutely true! Many, many years ago I was accosted by a whole bunch of visiting American tourists on an excursion to the "historic market town" in which I live and sure enough they asked if I knew her. "Oh, you mean Liz," I replied, "Yerrrse, course I know her - most of the Brits round here do."
I got out of there while their chins were still on the floor, gawd luv 'em.
But hey, what point is there in stereotyping if we're not doing to reinforce them? 😄
we can have 4 seasons in one day in the UK haha
And the rest! 🙂
At least 4! 😂
We can have the 4 seasons in an hour!
@@tsrgoinc Yeah I was going to say. The old saying was always "In England you can get all 4 seasons in a day. Go to Scotland and you can get all 4 seasons in a morning."
I came out of an appointment years ago into warm sunshine. Then a massive amount of snow dropped, settling quickly. I drove home in deep snow.
I'm Scottish/British and it always makes me laugh that most people you see in a kilt in Edinburgh are Americansl (and they all claim to be ancestors of William Wallace or Bonnie Prince Charlie)... by the way Amanda, your hubby is one lucky guy.
Hi Amanda, yes the food is great. Just think about buttered toast and Marmite.
Thanks for the video - it is too easy for people to generalazize.
hahaah minus the marmite
@@LADYRAEUK 😲 Wot, no Marmite! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
We love the Americans, there may be a few who don’t and they don’t matter, on the whole we are cousins and I will not have a bad word said against you all. You are not just family to us you are also our Allies as we are yours. 🇬🇧❤️🇺🇸🫶
I really dig British mysteries, esp. on Netflix. Mysteries from Wales, Liverpool, Manchester, London, but sorry I always need those saviour subtitles, (Scotland mandatory) yet I'm a slow reader
The rainfall thing depends on where you live in the USA or UK, there are a lot of US states that have far more rain than the UK and there are parts of the UK that are far wetter than others.
We probably have more days where it rains but often its just a shower, not the sort of deluge they suffer in places like Hawaii where they probably get as much rain in a day as we do in a year where I live in Dorset.
It can be a pain but you either carry an umbrella, a waterproof jacket or nip into a pub until its passed...generally I go for option three.
haha thats tehe best option :)
Amanda......We (Mostly Don't Hate |Americans!) ❤
:)
I have been asked a few times while onboard cruise ships do I know/have I met the queen? (now King) and my answer was always have you met the President?...... My answer now is to humour them with the 3 times I have actually seen they Queen in person..... I just leave out some of the facts. Once was as her state limo and convoy drove down our road..... Once when I seen her at the Royal Tournament and Once in London again in the State Limo!
haa i love it :))
Oh the bad teeth thing is a historical thing, but it’s actually happening again due to a MASSIVE shortage in dentists, especially in Wales.
Not matter what I say thank you America for your decisive help and sacrifice in WW2.
I don't know your age but I knew a great deal about the UK when I was in high school way back in the late 1970s. First of all we had the Beatles, and everyone knew they were from Liverpool. It was easy to find that on maps. We also had Masterpiece Threatre on PBS with Allister Cooke. This was a wonderful show which featured very high class drama about England, as well as Whales and Scotland. Put another way, the general information about England and the rest of the UK was in the ether. I just wonder why today so many Americans are go ignorant about the UK (not you of course).
Just a quick one about ice in your drinks…..done a lot of bar work in my time & I have to tell you,those ice machines get filthy….. if the proprietor doesn’t meticulously clean at least once a week you’ll be getting stomach bugs ( I.e. the shits ) LOL
S.E. Londoner, Cockney accent, walked all over London, never needed an Umbrella, never needed an overcoat!
I can get loud when required!
Ice, why are Muricans conned into thinking that the Ice they are given is a little treat from the vendor, they are just giving you less of the product you are paying for and then watering it down! Why would you want that, and don't tell me it's because of the heat, I have never needed Ice in Spain, even when the temperature is over 100⁰f, 38⁰c, or in a Milwaukee summer, but all the septics were still having ice, in EVERYTHING!
And when you are in the States, please dont tell the Yanks you are going for a walk, it makes their knees buckle!
Hi Amanda 🎉 love you and listening to your voice, more please 🙏 Tony xx
I've been asked by an American if I've met the (then) Queen, I asked them how often they meet up with their friend the president 😅
I never have ice in a drink... I've seen what ice did to the Titanic
loL!
I actually like America and Americans. I've visited once and have met a few here and, whilst, yes, they can be 'loud' in many senses of the word, but that's only because we're so tightly wound up i.e. a very relative judgment. Those I have met have been charming, well educated, thoughtful, generous, and we share many values, such as general honesty, the rule of law and a moral sense of what's right and wrong. There is much, much more that unites us, than divides us. I don't think there's a single country we've done more for and received more from in return and long may that continue.
It doesn't rain every day, just most days, lol!, this last year has been the worst ever!
The weather here today (Wales) has been having a fit or something.
You must live in a different part of the UK to me , (south/southeast,) it doesn't rain every day let alone every week.
In fairness I used to just think there was an American Accent not regional accents in America. I was thinking same just before you said it about saying everyone in UK knows the Queen is like saying everyone in USA knows the President. The weather is true for me today in Leeds. Was sunny then a black cloud appeared and next thing it is bucketing it down lol!
The only reason some people don't like some Americans is they are loud and brag to much they think everything is bigger and better in the USA and to some extent its true 👍 but we have small and quaint we don't brag and on the most part much quieter 😂😂😂 but on the whole we see you guys as brothers and sisters and if the shit hits the fan we would definitely be there for each other 💯💯💯💯🇺🇲🇬🇧🇺🇲🇬🇧🇺🇲🇬🇧🇺🇲🇬🇧
The accents are really diverse, we have different access in every city but you'll also hear loads of Polish, Latvian, African, Asian. Never heard any of them talk in a cockney accent
It shouldn't come as a tremendous shock really, should it?
In so many instances we see these videos wherein the British people talk about us Americans. It's certainly very interesting. I live and work in NYC, and have been here for all my life. In all my three decades plus on this Earth, I don't believe Britain has ever come up in any conversation that I've been a part of. We realistically never think about you there, at all.
Not sure how long you’ve been in the UK but I’d say you’ve got us bang to rights there.
The bad teeth thing is an impression started from the first world war films of soldiers in France...... every smile looked like an old piano ( one white one, one black one and one missing) the generation before the war was the first to be able to afford sugar.sugar was very highly taxed and only the wealthy could afford it. But after a few deaths as a result of being poisoned by products used to adulterate the sugar ( like a dealer that " cuts" his product to bulk up the amount) and the increase of sugar available the government slashed the tax. The popularity of the once expensive ingredient didn't come with a health warning about the effect on tooth decay..
During Victorian times it was not unusual for a newly married woman to have all her teeth out to avoid the cost of the dentist....
If you think that is crazy take a look at the cure for " women's hysteria" the very popular " womb massage" ...a medical technique that involved the doctor incerting his fingers into the woman and easing the stress by slowly stroking the inside area
thansk for taking the time to comment !
Don't all Americans think that anything north of London is just forests apart from Liverpool where the Beatles came from?
Hi there Amanda, long time no see. It's good to see you're still blogging.
Im glad your enjoying my country ,but dont judge a book by its cover
Thank you....for making me laugh today, with you getting a little tongue tied, love your yt videos as I don't do FB etc as I'm not a socialistic person. So again thank you, keep on keeping on, great work.
You're very welcome, I'm glad youre enjoying it :)
Brits know an American accent from the nasal sound... whether they're from the North, East, South or West of the USA. Americans know a British accent because it's missing.
Well you obviously haven't got the slightest clue. There is no such thing as a 'British accent'. There are accents from Britain including Scotland and Wales but upon hearing them an American wouldn't call them a 'Briddish accent'. And if you heard the English, Geordie accent you'd probably be as confused as many of us are.
@@kristinajendesen7111 By "British accent" I didn't mean one accent for Britain... I meant any British accent, ffs 🤡
"Well you obviously haven't got the slightest clue" ... says someone totally clueless
@@kristinajendesen7111 You're wrong anyway. Someone from Britain would be described by foreigners as having 'a British accent'... or would *you* expect them to know the British nationality and dialect? No British accent has a nasal drone. Do you understand my comment now? Have I simplified it enough for you?
Hi Amanda. I've travelled all over the US love the people, had some amazing conversations. Yes I have been asked if I know the Queen/Royals. I always say No , but had the honour of seeing the Queen on occasions while in the Airforce. The London view is quite common. But then it is like thinking all Americans live in New York, L A or Chicago. Accents do Vary in the US. I had some trouble with the really deep south accent. But the hospitality I was given was amazing. American forwardness compared to British, I quickly adapted to. Got into a few heated discussions but it was regarding US beer. Utter yuck! Especially budweiser! 🤢 so I introduced them to European beers and lagers like Heiniken and Guinness 😀
I don't get hatred of Americans. In fact I don't get hatred of anyone because of where they are from.
If you want to see rain go to the north of Scotland (the highlands ), it rains in the morning ,then you have a beautiful blue sky with no clouds .....then it will rain again for 5 minutes.... then stops .......but the rain isnt cold ( if that makes sence 🤔) , but Scottish people are the most welcoming people you could EVER meet , the fields and hills are ....bloody breath taking !!!!!!!!, it is as if mother nature put all her beautiful things in one place ......THE HIGHLANDS OF SCOTLAND !!!!.
I am british (now living in france ) but as i said scotland is ..👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍beautiful, go and try it , you wont want to go back to England.
Peace out ✌
Hi. Just love your chat. Entertaining spot on comments. And lovely to look at. JJ 👍💕
I've heard Americans - especially those who have been living in the UK for a while, express their own embarrassment when Americans enter a pub or train carriage etc.
its funny when i first moved over i couldnt always hear teh accent, i dont know if it was because i was so used to it.. but my hubby was always asking me how i couldnt hear the american accent straight away.. its so weird haha ]
I don’t know how long you’ve been there, I think a while? What I find strange is that sometimes I will be listening to an interview on the radio and I cannot tell whether it’s an English accent or a Canadian one. I will sit there trying to work it out. I assume it’s because both accents seem completely native to me? - at most times I can place an accent from the UK within a couple of miles, and US accents usually to a state or sometimes city.
It seems to be mostly with the radio that I will have instances of complete accent blindness - with the internet I listen to a few UK shows, along with shows from Canada and US
Amanda whenever you do a video, you're on the right and the video you're reacting to is on the left, but you're so pretty I end up watching you instead of the video. It's your eyes, maybe, I dunno but it's something, you are stunning. 🙂
Thank you very much, i appreciate that :)
As a Brythom I live in Wales and speak Welsh - an original Brit.
I was bon in he UK. I was a ten Pound Pom,I was 6 When I arrived in Aus. Live in Yorkshire now, But I do have trouble with some of the accents. But I have found that when they say England they mean a couple of the Provinces in the south of the nation.
I do agree it's kind of human nature to other people mot in your group
👍
All usa citizens are welcome in the uk. Love and peace from Wolverhampton England
I would say you have to say no Ice in drinks here too or else they'll put it in your drink. They only put Ice in so that they don't have to give you as much liquid. I've never met an American I didn't like or get on with.
well thats nice to hear :)
As a Brit living in the U.S. for 14 years I can attest that there is no single American accent. In the northern states the accents are clipped and in your face, in the southern states they are a lazy drawl making multiple vowel sounds onto a long drawn out incomprehensible weirdness. I remember a southern accent lady referring to someone’s name a feeoal. At first I thought she was saying Theo. But nope I was wrong. In the end I found out the name was Phil, which I would say like Fill. My favourite U.S. accent is New York. It’s in your face but it makes sense. Being a Yorkshireman I warm to this straightforward speech. 😊
Hey Mark, thank you for sharing your experience :) I hope youre enjoying your time in teh US
@@LADYRAEUK Bad grammar on my part I am back in the UK now 😃
Wow Amanda never seen you dressed like this before you are so beautiful sorry just have to say this wow
Stereotypes can be identified by your expectations, generally, no matter where you are in the world.
Lady Rae has lots of tattoos!😊
haha i do
what can i say about our rain. It'll make you feel wet no matter what intensity. Think Mizzle - that's a combination of mist & drizzle.
Before I start my little rant I would like to point out that i have American relations .But what always got me was the way that Americans always go on about how they beat the English ,then go on to tell you that their family didn`t even get to America until sometime in the late 1800/1900 `s ,also they seem obsessed with were their family came from IE irishamerican /african american /hispanic american and numerous others so whilst shouting about how great America is they do not seem to want to be Americans
Hi Amanda, my opinion is, a lot of US citizens think the UK is far far smaller than it is, so everybody knows everybody else, and we can't step outside without tripping over the King.
I guess I’m not the usual Brit I have a philosophy that I live by “In a country where many people are black sheep, many people are white sheep, be the multicoloured sheep that stands out and everyone goes WTF?????”
Because life’s to short to waste on “British reserve”, worry and caring what others think, so just have a blast and enjoy every second like it’s your last.
That way if you live long enough, your grandkids will sit there open mouthed at the crazy stories you will tell them, their mates will be in awe, and your own kids will be “fer crying out loud dad, stop telling them what you used to do, they’re bad enough already” (not that that’s a constant cry around me…… ahem🤫😉)
I want to say you are one of the world's diplomats which a great quality coupled with how gorgeous you are 😉😍
thank you very much :)
Loved the video. Sadly, as you say, there are idiots in ALL walks of life. All you can do is be you.
the reason stereotypes exist is that a noticeable percentage fit that stereotype, usually its the louder and more obnoxious or even just the more outgoing but thats how the human brain works, it likes to put things into boxes for easy labeling, all brits drink tea, all americans are loud, etc etc we know its not true but we also know that a high enuff percentage fits that narrative to make it kinda true lol
Amanda, I want to start another myth. You are the ONLY American we like.😮
hahaahh
couple of things, outside of London people are usually great ( mind you anywhere out of a big city ) knowing the Queen/King, I have been asked several times on vacation to the US, mainly by people in big cities like LA for some reason, I upset them by saying I dont like the monarchy and wouldnt want to know them!
I love it. The walking snorter. 😆
Cool walk!. 😂
lol!!
