@@Magpie_Media 🤣 it’s not a word I use very often, it seems to have lost its meaning a bit. I reserve it for when things truly get on my nerves & I want to throw something at the tv🤣Plus I really do believe that Love Island really deserves that word along with a lot of other reality shows.
As a Canadian I was shocked at how a bunch of Americans we were with in London ridiculed British workers, saying they had no work ethic because they actually had the gall to take vacation and sick days. Just because the British don't live just to work does not mean they do not have a good work ethic.
How sad is it that people are brainwashed into thinking work is supposed to be the most important part of your life? That's crazy. A good work "ethic" is that workers have their own lives outside of work, and even people who don't work deserve to have their basic needs met because they're still human and have human rights.
Few minutes in and we're hit with Russia not being in Europe, oh dear 🤦♂yeah its land mass is so big it spans Asia too, but definitely in Europe... I'm more worried about how brits are seen from this video 😅 UPDATE: they think everyone likes Love Island in the UK, can we deport them?
Considering the number of comments giving love island the thumbs down 👎🏻 I would say NO we don’t love it in fact I think most of us think it’s drivel Yes Russia is partly in Europe partly in Asia
Absolutely agree with you and they also declare what political party they support. I would never ask anyone what party or candidate that they voted for. It would just seem very intrusive and personal.
These two are taking their own version of life and transposing it onto the rest of us. I have never watched Love Island and never will, that and most other 'Reality' TV shows are utter crap regardless of which side of the Atlantic you are on!
I get annoyed seeing clips of love Island tempting me to watch it Never going to happen I was in a reality TV that waa really tough but it's OK, nobody watched it but most people watch the numbnuts of LOve Island
Where did you find this couple? I live in Scotland and if I knew this couple irl I would be avoiding them at all costs. They’re talking about things that annoy them not things that annoy the British in general.
Russia is technically part of Europe and Asia It spans 11 time zones across the two continents it has coasts on three oceans the Atlantic, Pacific, and Arctic
Also, something lot of Americans may not know there is a body of water between Alaska and Russia, known as the Bering Strait, which separates Russia from Alaska by 2.4 miles, . The narrowest distance between mainland Russia and mainland Alaska is approximately 55 miles there is however a couple of islands in between . technically America and Russia are only 2.4 miles apart.

My son had a friend come for a visit from vagas. In 2 weeks she never once said please, thank you, sorry, or any kind of manners. It got the whole of my family's back up.
@@t.a.k.palfrey3882it’s a reality tv series where they plop like 20 young insufferable people into a Villa on some Island. I think if my memory serves me well they need to partner up with the opposite sex as a couple. And each day or week the public votes for someone to leave. It’s loved by people that want to be those insufferable people and no one else. They will spend 40% of the show staring at themselves in the mirror and the other 60% watching each other look at themselves in the mirror. They’re typically mentally challenged but that doesn’t matter because so are the people that watch the show. There’s really nothing good to say about the show.
Can't stand that phoney "reality" TV show concept like Love Island. The only decent one was series 1 of Big Brother because it was new and fresh and cos the contestants went on for the experience not to get famous
Er, I’m English and I don’t love Love Island. My tv came with a device that is by my chair, there’s a button on it, and if I press it when mindless, vulgar, trashy programmes come on, the tv switches off!
The first annoying American statement, "I am going to Europe," is also the reason Canadians never want to be mistaken for American. And as for UK grades, if you get a 70+ from Oxford, Cambridge, Edinburgh, you are a freaking genius, and deservedly will receive a Distinction, First Class, First Division.
Everyone doesn't love love island.Assuming they are talking about Britain only, then it should have 68 million viewers but it's lucky to get a few million. It's terrible!
I agree totally. There is nothing so fresh as air dried clothes-of course, we do have clean air, so maybe that is it. I am a Scot and I wouldn't give Love Island house room either!
Americans struggle to recognise that the UK is at the same latitudes as Alaska & Newfoundland - but surrounding by sea, keeping it temperate. Whereas the continental US (clue there) is at the same latitudes as the Mediterranean and North Africa/the Sahara.
They're taking the piss out of Americans for being (justifiably) ignorant, while at the same time not knowing Russia's in Europe, and thinking Bolivia is.
Paused in first few seconds of watching to comment: - Like the start of your introduction Americans shout and not talk. 🤭 On a cruise and I heard the Americans before I saw them 🙉. - A lot of Americans haven’t even got a passport and talk about other countries so knowledgeably. -Bragging (I think they would not class it as bragging they would class as confidence but it’s the over confidence that’s it’s off putting). - They think they invented everything. - they think we all live in London (and have met the queen). - Fake over the top greetings! ‘Have a fabulous day!’ Amazing to meet you etc. it’s seeping into U.K. customer service and it drives me crazy! - Money and going to college is more important than family and happiness.
I am from a rural part of the south west of England and to me it is slightly annoying because they don't pronounce all of their constantans properly or at all.
Regarding air drying clothes, it is better for them as drying them in the drier will shrink them over time. If you have a drier, or tumble drier as we say in the UK we mostly use it to dry bedding covers and bath towels :)
Also, it’s a lot better the environment as well. Us brits look forward to the time of year when the weather starts getting better and we can put our stuff out on the washing line 😂 we’ve all at one time had the conversation about how lovely is to get them out on the line and how much more fresh they smell
@@lizzieapples3339 I'm not convince by the environmentally better argument. Does drying inside not cause a drop in room temperature and an increase in humidity? Do most people resolve these issues using their central heating? Are washing machine more environmentally better than hand scrubbing in the sink? most of us would not do that for the environment. Drying outside is great so long as the air outside is 'fresh', not always a given. I think the main reason UK homes don't have/use driers, is they take space we often don't have or have a better use for and can appear to be expensive to run.
@@stephenlee5929you can buy washing machines that use less water than handwashing. I dry inside and use dehumidifier bags, they’re cheap and really effective. As for the heating that would be on anyway.
@@stephenlee5929I live in an upstairs flat, being rather elderly, 85 years old, I find it difficult to go up and downstairs. So a dryer is a Godsend. When younger and fitter it didn't bother me. I don't wish to move at my age. Another reason for a dryer, is the weather.
I'm British and NEVER watch ANY reality TV shows !! LIFE'S TOO SHORT !! Americans who use the word " FANCY" too often ! (HINT ,TYLER) Dryers are expensive to buy and run and most people haven't got the room in their kitchen for a washing machine AND a dryer ! I say " sorry?" if I haven't heard what someone said properly. When Americans say something like "can you BRING me to work" when asking for a lift !! NO !! I can TAKE you to work though !! You don't BRING something somewhere. You TAKE it !
The other random thing I've experienced, is that I was having a conversation with an American on Facebook messenger, and for some reason she said "don't worry, I'll sponsor you" I thought what the heck does that mean, that she assumed that I was broke/skint and I needed charity money of some sort. Americans do get brought up to think that money is the be all and end all of existence. Priorities are backwards in some Americans heads. I personally cherish the gift of life and not the material things.
Sure, but you misunderstood the term "sponsor". There are different kinds, but basically, it means that an individual or a business helps you to navigate the legal part of immigration before and after you arrive there.
@PreciousPotat the term sponsor came up in conversation randomly when I talked about not being able to afford certain things like either my phone or Internet bill.
@PreciousPotat why though, sponsoring is only a term used by the USA, we have no need for it here. We aren't charity cases here. Some of us live within our means. If anyone was to hand out money or something to us, we would click on to it being a scam or some underlying reason. T.b.f both countries are in a mess economically.
@@OrangeLemons307 Why what? It's their law. No idea why. Google it. But I can easily imagine that it's not easy to navigate the bureaucratic hell of a foreign country.
I don't understand why you don't airdry your clothes. 1.. it makes them smell fresher. 2..its obviously better for the environment as your not using electricity to dry them. 3..as your not using electricity to dry them its cheaper. 4.. its better for your clothes they last longer and are less likely to shrink in the wash
Yes can never understand that either especially in the Southern States e.g., Texas, Arizona , Florida, Alabama etc., where they have warm weather all year round.
I have friends in NV and AZ that always use the dryer when it would actually be quicker to dry on a clothesline (about 20 mins in summer). It's all the culture of convenience... the dryer is right there next to the washer, clotheslines look ugly, etc. Even the tree-hugging hippies can't wrap their heads around the concept.
@@annfrancoole34I think it's more a class thing in the USA. For example, in films you will see people airdrying clothes on lines between city buildings in poor Italian neighbourhoods. the film makers use it as a poverty indicator.
Many of them aren't allowed. They have "associations" I think it's called, which make the rules where you live. Everything from not hanging out washing, to what colours you can paint your house. This must be those freedoms they keep talking about 😂😂
"Excuse me" in the UK is the polite way of saying "Get out of my way", so if an American bumped into a Brit and said "Excuse me", I can see how that would be taken the wrong way. Then again, the tone is important.
Not all clothes can be put in a dryer, some clothes need to be handwash and drip dry, different fabric need particular care, and i agree dryers can be exspanse even the mini dryer i brought was expensive 🫰 but air drying gives clothes a lovely freshness to them, i do prefer it.
Russia is definitely in Europe, extends all the way through Asia too. Russia is also part of many European competitions such as The Euros (although I think they’re banned this year)
When I was a student American students would take Drama because they thought it would be "easy". Not too many of them finished the First Semester. I think they thought they'd sit around watching movies , and taking the odd multi-answer 'test"' (yep - none of them actually understood what the word "Drama" meant. And no, we don't do multiple choice stuff.) They were horrified that they'd be expected to do hours of study, write papers, do a lot of research going back to the Greeks, and defend their viewpoints in Tutorials. When I became a Lecturer myself I would offer to do a couple of private tutorials for foreign students, explaining the differences between American education and Others - but the USA students stayed away in droves. Some time later I discovered that, at a Chinese University, in China, they didn't consider themselves "Foreign" students.😂😂😂 - so didn't take up the offer! There are huge differences in the way we study, the way we research, the examinations themselves, student/lecturer communication...and, most important...we still read books. Hundreds of them by the time we sit our Bachelors, and even more hundreds by the time one's done Masters. So by the time anyone does a PhD it's one huge truckload of books. But the highest scholastic honour on the education ladder is that of Professor. To become a Professor one has to have had (many)scholastic papers published, have become known in scholastic circles overseas etc. etc. Which is why I cringe inside when some 20-somethings from the USA identify as "Professors"; and students call their Lecturers that as well. It almost caused an international incident at my Uni when a 22yr old Christian farm boy from the USA had cards printed with the title "Professor XYZ". Then, after a banquet, he beat everyone to the door & stood there handing these out!! The Vice-Chancellor had to send people off to retrieve these, demanded the rest, and escorted the lad out.
I've noticed in a lot of American films, there's this idea in the UK, everyone and yes literally everyone, has lots of money, and talks with a London accent.
21:55 I don't personally find it irritating but can see how others might, because here 'excuse me' is not really an apology. It's an interruption or politely requesting someone get out of the way, it's not an indication you're in the wrong. It might even be sarcasm or telling someone off. Using that where an apology is actually warranted could well annoy people. ETA: his example of an American pushing past someone then saying 'excuse me' is the perfect example - excuse me is the thing you say BEFORE pushing past so they can move and avoid incident, shoving someone then saying it comes across as you telling them off for daring to get in the way.
We have a tumble dryer, but we like to put our clothes outside as it smells fresher when you bring it in, we use the dryer if it is raining which is most of the time, but we don’t care.
Lia has embarrassed herself again here, first by suggesting that Bolivia is in Europe! Then by saying that "No," Russia is not in Europe when in fact a large part of Russia IS in Eastern Europe and the rest is regarded as part of Asia. Not a good start here, someone hasn't done their research properly...
Being a Canadian and living partially with both the British influence and American influence I find this eminently interesting and can relate. We are not British of course, but have more British influence than Americans. We also have more American influence than the British do while maintaining our own unique identity. We also get both comedy styles of British and American humour. In Canada if you say "excuse me" that means you are asking for forgiveness, not accusing others of bad behaviour. We also say sorry though all of the time. We also use them together "Sorry, excuse me". If we want to point out others bad manners we will use "Excuse you" but that is rare.
Yes!! I've definitely noticed the amount of influence we have from both countries! It's interesting......We're like a hodgepodge of culture.....with delicious authentic food from around the world!! Hahaha! 🇨🇦
What annoys or rather saddens me, is the disregard most Americans seem to have over ALL green issues, from recycling and re-using to overuse of electricity and finite natural resources. 🇬🇧👍
Did she say Bolivia was in Europe?! The only thing that used to annoy my grandmother (who travelled to the USA and Canada regularly) was being called a Brit. She used to reply "I'm English or BRITISH, not a Brit!". I never managed to work out why it annoyed her so much lol.
I'm from Ireland, but I kind of get that. I don't like being called "a" anything. I just don't like labels, or being put into categories, so being called "a" anything bothers me. I try not to do it to others either. It kind of comes with assumptions about a person. The labels carry baggage, stereotypes, and misconceptions with them. I'd rather not have any such things associated with me before a person knows me, so I try not to put anyone else into categories either.
I'm English and have never watched Love Island it holds no appeal to me at all. And i have no issue with Americans saying, "Excuse me, instead of sorry. I do find I tend to disagree with these two at times.
I only use my dryer in winter .... JUST TRY hanging your bedsheets on the line in your garden in summer ..... It is so fresh when you next get between the sheets.... I hate Love Island and all others in the same vein very tacky .... Great channel Tyler ..... Paula x UK
For reference of what grade percentages are like at UK universities (at least when I was a physics undergrad at a good uni a decade ago): 70% was a 'first' (highest category) and 60% was a 2:1 (which is considered a good and very respectable pass). Then if I recall correctly, 50% is a 2:2, and 40% would be the lowest pass. I think the person with the highest overall grade averaged around 85-90% across 4 years of courses, which gives some idea of what is really good here.
I also recall that in my final year (way back in the mid 80s), each and every exam had to be passed. No retakes were allowed. Fail just one exam and all your 3 years were down the pan and you failed your entire degree course. No appeals were allowed. No pressure eh!!
@@BongbongA99 Most UK universities will now allow one resit attempt per module unless there are so many failed modules that they decide you have no realistic prospect of passing or unless you have seriously failed to engage with the course.
As an international educator I can say that American education is scaled to get near full marks to pass on their tests. UK tests are designed as around 40% to get a pass..so questions harder. Yes, USA college is equivalent to our A levels. I had to scale USA students results as they return home to reflect their achievements.
I am Italian, here the norm is to air dry clothes, someone has a dryer but it's quite rare. My washer has a dryer function... and in 17 years I used it 3 times😂 it's noisy, it takes ages, it wastes power... I simply don't need it! So when my washer will break and I'll have to buy a new one I will buy it without the dryer, because... why pay for it if you don't use it!
Tyler, I am familiar with the videos that this couple puts out and I would advise you to be somewhat wary of their views and the information that they espouse. Firstly they are relatively young and thus have little experience yet of life. A lot of the "knowledge" of the UK that they put forward is just plain wrong. Not their fault, that's just the way it is. Secondly and most importantly it is pretty obvious that they live in the "Bubble" that is London and S.E. England. In some ways that area may as well be a separate country as it is very different in so many ways to the rest of the UK. Thirdly, they seem to have had a somewhat "privileged" life, i.e. they have grown up with money. Just keep that in mind.
saying sorry in britain is a massive power move , in that you do the right thing , adhering to a good society norm , the receiver gets a benefit , its all good all around . you should give it a try and see the results .
I find these two far more annoying than much of what they're saying is annoying. They also only seem to speak for a small demographic of people in the UK, having watched some of their other videos. They're very much Southern Middle Class and seem to be triggered by some very unusual things and watch some very bad, trashy shows. I've certainly watched other videos that more accurately show things that Americans do that Brits find annoying.
As a European and EU citizen, imho there is nothing wrong with saying you want to visit Europe. Especially, since you usually visit several different European countries during one trip, since travelling between them is so easy UK is in Europe and Russia is in Europe, sorry but these people don't seem very smart
Oxford university in England is also above Harvard and Stanford in the world league table of universities, but most Americans think that because their universities are well known that theirs are the best.
@@thegrinderman1090 As I flunked even an 'O Level' - at 16, I'd say I must be definitively 'dim' compared to you... I obviously never attended University and thus assume my 6 CSE's are not useful compared to the much higher grades achieved by several of the commenters here ...ah well, am 70 now and can accept my failings as well as whichever successes I may have achieved in the many years since I left the 'Lower Sixth' at the Secondary Modern where I spent the _entire_ 'Fourth Year' rebelling against (just two) certain subjects!! (Maths & Housecraft!)
If I actually meet an educated American , I tell them to say that they're Canadian, just because we can't juxtapose , ''educated and American'', It's such a cultural shock, espacially if they can use the words, '' please and thank you, and excuse me''.
The thing that bugs me is everywhere in the world is taught American English, not English english, so maybe the world wants English english to die out.
One they didn't mention. If there is a group of people from all different countries and you ask each person where they are from you are likely to get a different type of answer from the Americans. Instead of "Japan", "France", "Denmark" or whatever, the Americans will likely say "Ohio", "Boston", Florida" or something. It would not occur to them to say they are from USA. Again I have no personal experience of the US university system but I have heard of people from other countries going to US universities (despite the high fees) because they consider the courses to be easier than in their own country.
The question of "Is Russia European or Asian" is easily answered by the fact that the capital city is on the European continent and has been for hundreds of years, even if the nation stretches onto another continent its still European
Many Americans have this idea.that all British people are.posh and well spoken. They need to visit the council estate in Manchester where I grew up.on the dispel that myth!
In the first one, the comparison would be if someone from Europe would say they wanted to go to North American, because both are continents. The United States is just one country
I’m a university lecturer in Germany and having studied in the U.S., I can verify your hunch. In America, the idea is that everyone starts out with an A and, depending on performance in class and tests, contributions etc., they can underwhelm and eventually lower their grade. In Europe, the essential difference (for me and most of my colleagues) is, that everyone starts out with an F and, depending on performance, test scores, contributions etc., they can up their grades. That is a very big difference in conception! I also agree that tests in the U.S. are a lot easier, especially since here, we hardly ever do any multiple choice exams (in my field of studies, I NEVER ever had taken or gave one). Most exams are essay type and you must really explain your answer in depth. YOu can’t simply take the chance of making crosses and that way passing an exam (and, before the criticism comes: I know that multiple choice exams can be very tricky, too, as many of the answer options are confusingly similar and one must really get the differences; yet, you can still, by mere chance, pass an exam without knowing anything if you are lucky enough to check the right boxes….). a 3/C is a fairly average grade in Germany and a 1/A is really outstanding! Students don’t fuss about not getting credit for a class even though they did all their assignments as long as their graded work was clearly underwhelming. This is part of the educational experience…
As a Brit, from my understanding, 'sorry' is an apology for a wrong, 'excuse me' comes from conversations with those of higher standing, as to mean 'excuse me for interrupting/accusing someone of doing something wrong', its like an 'excuse me if I'm wrong, but did you not just step on my foot' for example
I remember staying at a friend's in Scottsdale AZ about 10 years ago and her having to people that I was British and didn't like to waste resources BTW in the time it would take to hang out the washing it would be dry
The thing that is annoying about saying "Europe" as if it was an country like "The United States" is that we are historically, culturally and politicaly very different from one country to another. In the US, even if states are different from one another, you speak the same language, have the same government and the same pop culture. You watch the same TV channels, you eat in the same chain restaurants etc... That is absolutely not the same in Europe. A French person and a Greek person don't understand each other, the language is not the same, and, they use different alphabets they, don't eat the same meals, have very differents political indtitutions and laws, very different Tv channels and TV shows., they both are from Europe but they are different countries, don't listen to the same music (mostly we don't even know the artists from other countries....) Another surprising example is that the space between rails in trains between France and Spain was not the same until very recently. SO if you planned to travel from Paris to Madrid in train (and yes, you could) you had to change train when you reached the Spanish border, because french trains could not use Spanish rails..... About Russia, it is geographically half in Europe, half in Asia but not culturally or politically European. Russia is kind of its own thing.
First-Class Honours (First or 1st) (70% and above) Upper Second-Class Honours (2:1, 2.i) (60-69%) Lower Second-Class Honours (2:2, 2.ii) (50-59%) Third-Class Honours (Third or 3rd) (40-49%) - A third class degree isn't going to do you a great deal of good if you turn up to a Job interview and people with you have a higher degree score...and tbh, if you walk away with a third, you've wasted a lot of money.
Did that girl just say Russia wasn't in Europe? If they're going to be annoyed with Americans' limited understanding of Europe, they should at least know basic things themselves. Russia is the largest and most populous country in Europe so a pretty shocking thing not to know. It's not like they were getting confused over Moldova.
When I was an exchange (mature) student in Tennessee I went out on a date with an American woman. She thought I was a millionaire when in fact I was in debt!
It's crazy how you English speakers from birth are different and speak differently. In Germany we learned English using the “Oxford English” textbooks. For decades I've been trying to learn and understand American, Australian, New Zealand, Canadian... accents. Conclusion: I won't be able to do that. Not all the differences that are most interesting are getting to know in one lifetime, something that is a lot of fun and I have the feeling that I get to know you all - and understand them. Thank you for your support, Tyler Rumple 👵💐
Not everyone is hooked on love Island, it's a particular demographic, that as we all know, assumes their likes are, therefore, everyone's likes, which isn't the case at all 🙄
43% is NOT a good score in the UK. It wasn't even a pass when I was in school 25+ years ago. I would not have been happy with anything less than 80%...oh how times have changed.
UK Degree grading. 50% is considered a great grade. A mark over 50% means that you are beginning to understand the difficult work. Over 60% is excellent because it means you have demonstrated a deep knowledge of your subject. A 70% pass for a degree is a First Class pass with honours (top grade). A 40% is a basic pass for the degree.
@@Shoomer1988 I didn't suggest he doesn't pause at all, just not as much. It's pointless watching 5 seconds and pausing, then asking questions about something that is invariably about to be answered in the next 5 seconds of video...
@@Shoomer1988 I have noticed recently that a lot of American 'YT Reactors' have changed their habit of frequently pausing to pass comments upon the videos to which they're reacting, to _not_ pausing to comment, and instead talk _over_ any given video's commentary / narration, so that whatever is being said, from which viewers might enjoy and learn, is difficult to actually _hear_ - and thus it can be difficult to know to _what_ the reactor is referring... It seems to have become s 'trend' which is affecting most if not all of the Reactors I've been watching over the last two to three years... It's both annoying and frustrating...and defies the point of reacting if we cannot hear whatever they're reacting to. (Apologies for my poor grammar, I realise it's been quite inaccurate during this 'mini-rant" - though I have attempted to 'edit' and correct the errors!!) 🤔 🏴😏🇬🇧🖖
The most annoying things Americans have done is to introduce us British to saying the word like every 2 seconds and also the word so at a beginning of a sentence 😢
To be fair on the 'having loads of cash' thing. In my experience, most of the Americans I encounter on Facebook seem to have money to throw away. So I guess that assumption works both ways.
A 40% pass throughout your degree wouldn’t give you a great degree in the Uk. It would give you a third class degree. I’ve done a degree in the UK, I got all 1sts so grades all between 70-100 out of 100. It is VERY difficult! 4 different huge assignments due at the same time or within a few days of each other, always having to academically write in the third person using the words of published researched. No emotive words, cite every sentence. Reference using not just Harvard referencing - but the universities elite way of referencing which isn’t Harvard. Researching primary is hard too. Writing writing and reading and reading. Took up my entire life.
You couldn't pay me to watch Love Island! Excuse me means can you move out the way ( before you bump into them, Not after!) etc. Excuse me = sorry or pardon
As someone from Ireland, I definitely hate when Americans talk about Europe like it's one country. If you mean going on a cross-country tour across Europe, that's fine. Otherwise, you should name the country you want to go to.
40% is scraping a pass (D or E grade), it is *not* a good score. In general, however, the US education system is about 2 years behind the UK system. The US 2 year degree is about equivalent to the UK A-levels (the final 2 years of senior/high school). I don't know whether or not a 4 year US degree matches up with a 3 year UK degree by the end. I do remember some of my lecturers mocking a visiting lecturer for calling himself "Professor". In the UK academic system, "Professor" is a senior rank that has to be earned, not just what you call the person talking at the front of the room by default.
The USA, although very big and diverse, is still one country. European cultures are very different from one another (different languages, cuisines, architecture etc.). There are differences within the USA but much of the country is homogenised in a way that Europe isn't.
When an American says someone looks European that’s dumb seriously because looks vary so wildly across the whole continent. Slavic people compared to people from southern Spain for example

nobody wants them
Love Island? I would rather a crow pluck out my eyes.
Considering the number of comments giving love island the thumbs down 👎🏻 I would say NO we don’t love it in fact I think most of us think it’s drivel
Yes Russia is partly in Europe partly in Asia
According to the UN now, Russia is not part of Europe. Which confuses me, because when I worked/lived there, where I was, certainly seemed to be...

Absolutely agree with you and they also declare what political party they support. I would never ask anyone what party or candidate that they voted for. It would just seem very intrusive and personal.

These two are taking their own version of life and transposing it onto the rest of us. I have never watched Love Island and never will, that and most other 'Reality' TV shows are utter crap regardless of which side of the Atlantic you are on!
And I do not like the term "Brits". The English are English, Welsh are Welsh, Irish are Irish, and Scots like me are Scots!
Not all Brits like Love Island. Some of us have more class.

Also, something lot of Americans may not know there is a body of water between Alaska and Russia, known as the Bering Strait, which separates Russia from Alaska by 2.4 miles, . The narrowest distance between mainland Russia and mainland Alaska is approximately 55 miles there is however a couple of islands in between . technically America and Russia are only 2.4 miles apart.

@@t.a.k.palfrey3882it’s a reality tv series where they plop like 20 young insufferable people into a Villa on some Island. I think if my memory serves me well they need to partner up with the opposite sex as a couple. And each day or week the public votes for someone to leave.
It’s loved by people that want to be those insufferable people and no one else.
They will spend 40% of the show staring at themselves in the mirror and the other 60% watching each other look at themselves in the mirror. They’re typically mentally challenged but that doesn’t matter because so are the people that watch the show.

Can't stand that phoney "reality" TV show concept like Love Island.
The only decent one was series 1 of Big Brother because it was new and fresh and cos the contestants went on for the experience not to get famous
Er, I’m English and I don’t love Love Island. My tv came with a device that is by my chair, there’s a button on it, and if I press it when mindless, vulgar, trashy programmes come on, the tv switches off!
The first annoying American statement, "I am going to Europe," is also the reason Canadians never want to be mistaken for American. And as for UK grades, if you get a 70+ from Oxford, Cambridge, Edinburgh, you are a freaking genius, and deservedly will receive a Distinction, First Class, First Division.
A long time ago at UCL in London I passed an exam with 10% and was given an A grade. The exam was that hard
It's not like every question, they give you the answer.

Everyone doesn't love love island.Assuming they are talking about Britain only, then it should have 68 million viewers but it's lucky to get a few million. It's terrible!
There is NOTHING quite like crawling into bed when the bedsheets have been line dried . It is kind of like a blanket of fresh.
Definitely.

I agree totally. There is nothing so fresh as air dried clothes-of course, we do have clean air, so maybe that is it. I am a Scot and I wouldn't give Love Island house room either!

Americans struggle to recognise that the UK is at the same latitudes as Alaska & Newfoundland - but surrounding by sea, keeping it temperate. Whereas the continental US (clue there) is at the same latitudes as the Mediterranean and North Africa/the Sahara.

Paused in first few seconds of watching to comment:
- Like the start of your introduction Americans shout and not talk. 🤭
On a cruise and I heard the Americans before I saw them 🙉.
- A lot of Americans haven’t even got a passport and talk about other countries so knowledgeably.
-Bragging (I think they would not class it as bragging they would class as confidence but it’s the over confidence that’s it’s off putting).
- They think they invented everything.
- they think we all live in London (and have met the queen).
- Fake over the top greetings! ‘Have a fabulous day!’ Amazing to meet you etc. it’s seeping into U.K. customer service and it drives me crazy!
- Money and going to college is more important than family and happiness.

I am from a rural part of the south west of England and to me it is slightly annoying because they don't pronounce all of their constantans properly or at all.
I absolutely do NOT watch Love Island, much less love it! For me it’s the absolute dregs of reality television.
Regarding air drying clothes, it is better for them as drying them in the drier will shrink them over time. If you have a drier, or tumble drier as we say in the UK we mostly use it to dry bedding covers and bath towels :)
Also, it’s a lot better the environment as well. Us brits look forward to the time of year when the weather starts getting better and we can put our stuff out on the washing line 😂 we’ve all at one time had the conversation about how lovely is to get them out on the line and how much more fresh they smell
You have to use it for everything! Now people don’t wear clothes forever before washing you have to use a dryer.
@@lizzieapples3339 I'm not convince by the environmentally better argument.
Does drying inside not cause a drop in room temperature and an increase in humidity?
Do most people resolve these issues using their central heating?
Are washing machine more environmentally better than hand scrubbing in the sink? most of us would not do that for the environment.
Drying outside is great so long as the air outside is 'fresh', not always a given.
I think the main reason UK homes don't have/use driers, is they take space we often don't have or have a better use for and can appear to be expensive to run.
@@stephenlee5929you can buy washing machines that use less water than handwashing. I dry inside and use dehumidifier bags, they’re cheap and really effective. As for the heating that would be on anyway.
@@stephenlee5929I live in an upstairs flat, being rather elderly, 85 years old, I find it difficult to go up and downstairs. So a dryer is a Godsend. When younger and fitter it didn't bother me. I don't wish to move at my age. Another reason for a dryer, is the weather.
Hi Tyler I thought the office was garbage and love island is appalling
I'm British and NEVER watch ANY reality TV shows !! LIFE'S TOO SHORT !!
Americans who use the word " FANCY" too often ! (HINT ,TYLER)
Dryers are expensive to buy and run and most people haven't got the room in their kitchen for a washing machine AND a dryer !
I say " sorry?" if I haven't heard what someone said properly.
When Americans say something like "can you BRING me to work" when asking for a lift !! NO !! I can TAKE you to work though !! You don't BRING something somewhere. You TAKE it !
Tyler doesn't read the comments of any of his videos.
@@wessexdruid7598 You can tell.
❤yes absolutely agree. The other one for me is, American," I seen it" er...do you mean you SAW it!? ❤
The other random thing I've experienced, is that I was having a conversation with an American on Facebook messenger, and for some reason she said "don't worry, I'll sponsor you" I thought what the heck does that mean, that she assumed that I was broke/skint and I needed charity money of some sort. Americans do get brought up to think that money is the be all and end all of existence. Priorities are backwards in some Americans heads. I personally cherish the gift of life and not the material things.
Sure, but you misunderstood the term "sponsor". There are different kinds, but basically, it means that an individual or a business helps you to navigate the legal part of immigration before and after you arrive there.
@PreciousPotat the term sponsor came up in conversation randomly when I talked about not being able to afford certain things like either my phone or Internet bill.
@@OrangeLemons307 Ah, ok, that makes more sense. To be sure, I'm pretty sure I'd need a sponsor if I had to live there. :P
@PreciousPotat why though, sponsoring is only a term used by the USA, we have no need for it here. We aren't charity cases here. Some of us live within our means. If anyone was to hand out money or something to us, we would click on to it being a scam or some underlying reason. T.b.f both countries are in a mess economically.
@@OrangeLemons307 Why what? It's their law. No idea why. Google it. But I can easily imagine that it's not easy to navigate the bureaucratic hell of a foreign country.
These two sound like the kind of airheads who love Love Island.
Tyler, if you haven't heard of Love Island, your life is richer for it.
I don't understand why you don't airdry your clothes.
1.. it makes them smell fresher.
2..its obviously better for the environment as your not using electricity to dry them.
3..as your not using electricity to dry them its cheaper.
4.. its better for your clothes they last longer and are less likely to shrink in the wash
Yes can never understand that either especially in the Southern States e.g., Texas, Arizona , Florida, Alabama etc., where they have warm weather all year round.
I have friends in NV and AZ that always use the dryer when it would actually be quicker to dry on a clothesline (about 20 mins in summer). It's all the culture of convenience... the dryer is right there next to the washer, clotheslines look ugly, etc. Even the tree-hugging hippies can't wrap their heads around the concept.
@@annfrancoole34I think it's more a class thing in the USA. For example, in films you will see people airdrying clothes on lines between city buildings in poor Italian neighbourhoods. the film makers use it as a poverty indicator.
Many of them aren't allowed. They have "associations" I think it's called, which make the rules where you live.
Everything from not hanging out washing, to what colours you can paint your house.
This must be those freedoms they keep talking about 😂😂
@@annfrancoole34as mentioned in my other comment.
Plus they're always at work, so just bung them in a dryer and set a timer.
"Excuse me" in the UK is the polite way of saying "Get out of my way", so if an American bumped into a Brit and said "Excuse me", I can see how that would be taken the wrong way. Then again, the tone is important.
Ooh yes
But sorry can be used that way too (in UK).
@@stephenlee5929 Not really.
@@Yesser-Thistle73 I'm sorry you don't think so
Not all clothes can be put in a dryer, some clothes need to be handwash and drip dry, different fabric need particular care, and i agree dryers can be exspanse even the mini dryer i brought was expensive 🫰 but air drying gives clothes a lovely freshness to them, i do prefer it.
Russia is definitely in Europe, extends all the way through Asia too. Russia is also part of many European competitions such as The Euros (although I think they’re banned this year)
When I was a student American students would take Drama because they thought it would be "easy". Not too many of them finished the First Semester. I think they thought they'd sit around watching movies , and taking the odd multi-answer 'test"' (yep - none of them actually understood what the word "Drama" meant. And no, we don't do multiple choice stuff.) They were horrified that they'd be expected to do hours of study, write papers, do a lot of research going back to the Greeks, and defend their viewpoints in Tutorials.
When I became a Lecturer myself I would offer to do a couple of private tutorials for foreign students, explaining the differences between American education and Others - but the USA students stayed away in droves. Some time later I discovered that, at a Chinese University, in China, they didn't consider themselves "Foreign" students.😂😂😂 - so didn't take up the offer!
There are huge differences in the way we study, the way we research, the examinations themselves, student/lecturer communication...and, most important...we still read books. Hundreds of them by the time we sit our Bachelors, and even more hundreds by the time one's done Masters. So by the time anyone does a PhD it's one huge truckload of books. But the highest scholastic honour on the education ladder is that of Professor. To become a Professor one has to have had (many)scholastic papers published, have become known in scholastic circles overseas etc. etc.
Which is why I cringe inside when some 20-somethings from the USA identify as "Professors"; and students call their Lecturers that as well. It almost caused an international incident at my Uni when a 22yr old Christian farm boy from the USA had cards printed with the title "Professor XYZ". Then, after a banquet, he beat everyone to the door & stood there handing these out!! The Vice-Chancellor had to send people off to retrieve these, demanded the rest, and escorted the lad out.
I've noticed in a lot of American films, there's this idea in the UK, everyone and yes literally everyone, has lots of money, and talks with a London accent.
American films usually take the Mickley out if brits. Friends did. I hate it
The worst film I saw was one of the 'Minions' ones that heaped in every awful British stereotype.
@@johnwellbelove148 And some stereotypes are nation specific (that is the four nations which have been tacked on each other).
These two irritate me.
They think they know what they’re talking about but they don’t.
Pinch of salt mate.
21:55 I don't personally find it irritating but can see how others might, because here 'excuse me' is not really an apology. It's an interruption or politely requesting someone get out of the way, it's not an indication you're in the wrong. It might even be sarcasm or telling someone off. Using that where an apology is actually warranted could well annoy people.
ETA: his example of an American pushing past someone then saying 'excuse me' is the perfect example - excuse me is the thing you say BEFORE pushing past so they can move and avoid incident, shoving someone then saying it comes across as you telling them off for daring to get in the way.
We have a tumble dryer, but we like to put our clothes outside as it smells fresher when you bring it in, we use the dryer if it is raining which is most of the time, but we don’t care.
Lia has embarrassed herself again here, first by suggesting that Bolivia is in Europe! Then by saying that "No," Russia is not in Europe when in fact a large part of Russia IS in Eastern Europe and the rest is regarded as part of Asia. Not a good start here, someone hasn't done their research properly...
Being a Canadian and living partially with both the British influence and American influence I find this eminently interesting and can relate. We are not British of course, but have more British influence than Americans. We also have more American influence than the British do while maintaining our own unique identity. We also get both comedy styles of British and American humour. In Canada if you say "excuse me" that means you are asking for forgiveness, not accusing others of bad behaviour. We also say sorry though all of the time. We also use them together "Sorry, excuse me". If we want to point out others bad manners we will use "Excuse you" but that is rare.
Yes!! I've definitely noticed the amount of influence we have from both countries! It's interesting......We're like a hodgepodge of culture.....with delicious authentic food from around the world!! Hahaha! 🇨🇦
What annoys or rather saddens me, is the disregard most Americans seem to have over ALL green issues, from recycling and re-using to overuse of electricity and finite natural resources. 🇬🇧👍
Did she say Bolivia was in Europe?!
The only thing that used to annoy my grandmother (who travelled to the USA and Canada regularly) was being called a Brit. She used to reply "I'm English or BRITISH, not a Brit!". I never managed to work out why it annoyed her so much lol.
Like calling a Pakistani a Paki?
I reacted to that too. Weird. Hopefully she maybe meant Bulgaria or Belgium and isn't that ignorant
I'm from Ireland, but I kind of get that. I don't like being called "a" anything. I just don't like labels, or being put into categories, so being called "a" anything bothers me. I try not to do it to others either. It kind of comes with assumptions about a person. The labels carry baggage, stereotypes, and misconceptions with them. I'd rather not have any such things associated with me before a person knows me, so I try not to put anyone else into categories either.
your grandmother was probably just racist against Welsh and Scottish people.
I'm 72, and I sympathise with this lady who hates being called a Brit. Like her, I am English or British, but not a Brit!

That isn't true, not everyone in the UK loves love island, more don't like it than do, I don't know anyone who does love Love island lol.
For reference of what grade percentages are like at UK universities (at least when I was a physics undergrad at a good uni a decade ago):
70% was a 'first' (highest category) and 60% was a 2:1 (which is considered a good and very respectable pass). Then if I recall correctly, 50% is a 2:2, and 40% would be the lowest pass.
I think the person with the highest overall grade averaged around 85-90% across 4 years of courses, which gives some idea of what is really good here.
I also recall that in my final year (way back in the mid 80s), each and every exam had to be passed. No retakes were allowed. Fail just one exam and all your 3 years were down the pan and you failed your entire degree course. No appeals were allowed. No pressure eh!!

As an international educator I can say that American education is scaled to get near full marks to pass on their tests. UK tests are designed as around 40% to get a pass..so questions harder.
Yes, USA college is equivalent to our A levels. I had to scale USA students results as they return home to reflect their achievements.
In Canada "Sorry" has been written into law as NOT being an admission of culpability
I am Italian, here the norm is to air dry clothes, someone has a dryer but it's quite rare. My washer has a dryer function... and in 17 years I used it 3 times😂 it's noisy, it takes ages, it wastes power... I simply don't need it! So when my washer will break and I'll have to buy a new one I will buy it without the dryer, because... why pay for it if you don't use it!
Tyler, I am familiar with the videos that this couple puts out and I would advise you to be somewhat wary of their views and the information that they espouse.
Firstly they are relatively young and thus have little experience yet of life. A lot of the "knowledge" of the UK that they put forward is just plain wrong. Not their fault, that's just the way it is.
Secondly and most importantly it is pretty obvious that they live in the "Bubble" that is London and S.E. England. In some ways that area may as well be a separate country as it is very different in so many ways to the rest of the UK.
Thirdly, they seem to have had a somewhat "privileged" life, i.e. they have grown up with money. Just keep that in mind.
Don't bother giving him any advice - he doesn't read these posts, they're only here for the algorithm.

saying sorry in britain is a massive power move , in that you do the right thing , adhering to a good society norm , the receiver gets a benefit , its all good all around . you should give it a try and see the results .
I find these two far more annoying than much of what they're saying is annoying. They also only seem to speak for a small demographic of people in the UK, having watched some of their other videos. They're very much Southern Middle Class and seem to be triggered by some very unusual things and watch some very bad, trashy shows. I've certainly watched other videos that more accurately show things that Americans do that Brits find annoying.
As a European and EU citizen, imho there is nothing wrong with saying you want to visit Europe. Especially, since you usually visit several different European countries during one trip, since travelling between them is so easy

If I actually meet an educated American , I tell them to say that they're Canadian, just because we can't juxtapose , ''educated and American'', It's such a cultural shock, espacially if they can use the words, '' please and thank you, and excuse me''.
The thing that bugs me is everywhere in the world is taught American English, not English english, so maybe the world wants English english to die out.
One they didn't mention. If there is a group of people from all different countries and you ask each person where they are from you are likely to get a different type of answer from the Americans. Instead of "Japan", "France", "Denmark" or whatever, the Americans will likely say "Ohio", "Boston", Florida" or something. It would not occur to them to say they are from USA. Again I have no personal experience of the US university system but I have heard of people from other countries going to US universities (despite the high fees) because they consider the courses to be easier than in their own country.
The question of "Is Russia European or Asian" is easily answered by the fact that the capital city is on the European continent and has been for hundreds of years, even if the nation stretches onto another continent its still European
Many Americans have this idea.that all British people are.posh and well spoken. They need to visit the council estate in Manchester where I grew up.on the dispel that myth!
In the first one, the comparison would be if someone from Europe would say they wanted to go to North American, because both are continents. The United States is just one country
I’m a university lecturer in Germany and having studied in the U.S., I can verify your hunch. In America, the idea is that everyone starts out with an A and, depending on performance in class and tests, contributions etc., they can underwhelm and eventually lower their grade. In Europe, the essential difference (for me and most of my colleagues) is, that everyone starts out with an F and, depending on performance, test scores, contributions etc., they can up their grades. That is a very big difference in conception!
I also agree that tests in the U.S. are a lot easier, especially since here, we hardly ever do any multiple choice exams (in my field of studies, I NEVER ever had taken or gave one). Most exams are essay type and you must really explain your answer in depth. YOu can’t simply take the chance of making crosses and that way passing an exam (and, before the criticism comes: I know that multiple choice exams can be very tricky, too, as many of the answer options are confusingly similar and one must really get the differences; yet, you can still, by mere chance, pass an exam without knowing anything if you are lucky enough to check the right boxes….). a 3/C is a fairly average grade in Germany and a 1/A is really outstanding! Students don’t fuss about not getting credit for a class even though they did all their assignments as long as their graded work was clearly underwhelming. This is part of the educational experience…
As a fellow educator, thank you for that explanation. You are absolutely spot on.

I was looking for this comment! I facepalmed as soon as I heard it..........
As a Brit, from my understanding, 'sorry' is an apology for a wrong, 'excuse me' comes from conversations with those of higher standing, as to mean 'excuse me for interrupting/accusing someone of doing something wrong', its like an 'excuse me if I'm wrong, but did you not just step on my foot' for example
I remember staying at a friend's in Scottsdale AZ about 10 years ago and her having to people that I was British and didn't like to waste resources BTW in the time it would take to hang out the washing it would be dry
The thing that is annoying about saying "Europe" as if it was an country like "The United States" is that we are historically, culturally and politicaly very different from one country to another. In the US, even if states are different from one another, you speak the same language, have the same government and the same pop culture. You watch the same TV channels, you eat in the same chain restaurants etc... That is absolutely not the same in Europe. A French person and a Greek person don't understand each other, the language is not the same, and, they use different alphabets they, don't eat the same meals, have very differents political indtitutions and laws, very different Tv channels and TV shows., they both are from Europe but they are different countries, don't listen to the same music (mostly we don't even know the artists from other countries....) Another surprising example is that the space between rails in trains between France and Spain was not the same until very recently. SO if you planned to travel from Paris to Madrid in train (and yes, you could) you had to change train when you reached the Spanish border, because french trains could not use Spanish rails..... About Russia, it is geographically half in Europe, half in Asia but not culturally or politically European. Russia is kind of its own thing.

First-Class Honours (First or 1st) (70% and above) Upper Second-Class Honours (2:1, 2.i) (60-69%) Lower Second-Class Honours (2:2, 2.ii) (50-59%) Third-Class Honours (Third or 3rd) (40-49%) - A third class degree isn't going to do you a great deal of good if you turn up to a Job interview and people with you have a higher degree score...and tbh, if you walk away with a third, you've wasted a lot of money.
Did that girl just say Russia wasn't in Europe? If they're going to be annoyed with Americans' limited understanding of Europe, they should at least know basic things themselves. Russia is the largest and most populous country in Europe so a pretty shocking thing not to know. It's not like they were getting confused over Moldova.
Sorry can't watch these two. Clueless doesn't even begin to describe them.
Agree!!!!
When I was an exchange (mature) student in Tennessee I went out on a date with an American woman. She thought I was a millionaire when in fact I was in debt!
It's crazy how you English speakers from birth are different and speak differently. In Germany we learned English using the “Oxford English” textbooks. For decades I've been trying to learn and understand American, Australian, New Zealand, Canadian... accents. Conclusion: I won't be able to do that. Not all the differences that are most interesting are getting to know in one lifetime, something that is a lot of fun and I have the feeling that I get to know you all - and understand them. Thank you for your support, Tyler Rumple 👵💐
They don't know the difference between London and Paris.
She doesn't know the difference between Bolivia and Serbia
Not everyone is hooked on love Island, it's a particular demographic, that as we all know, assumes their likes are, therefore, everyone's likes, which isn't the case at all 🙄
russia is in europe, these 2 just arent very bright clearly
I’ve never ever watched an episode of Love Island
43% is NOT a good score in the UK. It wasn't even a pass when I was in school 25+ years ago. I would not have been happy with anything less than 80%...oh how times have changed.
School passes are different from University levels as the curriculum is very much structured to this .
I'm half Italian and half British. Scusi/scusami (which sound similar to excuse me) means both sorry as well as excuse me.
Here a useful saying for any nation on earth,"its better to be though a fool than open you mouth and prove it beyond all doubt"
UK Degree grading. 50% is considered a great grade. A mark over 50% means that you are beginning to understand the difficult work. Over 60% is excellent because it means you have demonstrated a deep knowledge of your subject. A 70% pass for a degree is a First Class pass with honours (top grade). A 40% is a basic pass for the degree.
The most annoying thing Americans do is pausing far too much in their reaction videos...
😅😅😅
Would you rather they just talk over the video?
@@Shoomer1988 I didn't suggest he doesn't pause at all, just not as much. It's pointless watching 5 seconds and pausing, then asking questions about something that is invariably about to be answered in the next 5 seconds of video...
@@Shoomer1988
I have noticed recently that a lot of American 'YT Reactors' have changed their habit of frequently pausing to pass comments upon the videos to which they're reacting, to _not_ pausing to comment, and instead talk _over_ any given video's commentary / narration,
so that whatever is being said, from which viewers might enjoy and learn, is difficult to actually _hear_ - and thus it can be difficult to know to _what_ the reactor is referring... It seems to have become s 'trend' which is affecting most if not all of the Reactors I've been watching over the last two to three years... It's both annoying and frustrating...and defies the point of reacting if we cannot hear whatever they're reacting to.
(Apologies for my poor grammar, I realise it's been quite inaccurate during this 'mini-rant" - though I have attempted to 'edit' and correct the errors!!) 🤔

@@Shoomer1988 They sometimes almost do so! Let the video speak and comment after! Some Americans do this to perfection.
The most annoying things Americans have done is to introduce us British to saying the word like every 2 seconds and also the word so at a beginning of a sentence 😢
We made a British version of the golden girls. Which didn’t work. When you’ve seen the original it’s very difficult
To be fair on the 'having loads of cash' thing. In my experience, most of the Americans I encounter on Facebook seem to have money to throw away. So I guess that assumption works both ways.
In Canada, we say sorry. Excuse me is sometimes used but more frequently it is seemed to be dismissive or sarcastic….
A 40% pass throughout your degree wouldn’t give you a great degree in the Uk. It would give you a third class degree. I’ve done a degree in the UK, I got all 1sts so grades all between 70-100 out of 100. It is VERY difficult! 4 different huge assignments due at the same time or within a few days of each other, always having to academically write in the third person using the words of published researched. No emotive words, cite every sentence. Reference using not just Harvard referencing - but the universities elite way of referencing which isn’t Harvard. Researching primary is hard too. Writing writing and reading and reading. Took up my entire life.
You couldn't pay me to watch Love Island!
Excuse me means can you move out the way ( before you bump into them, Not after!) etc. Excuse me = sorry or pardon
As someone from Ireland, I definitely hate when Americans talk about Europe like it's one country. If you mean going on a cross-country tour across Europe, that's fine. Otherwise, you should name the country you want to go to.
40% is scraping a pass (D or E grade), it is *not* a good score. In general, however, the US education system is about 2 years behind the UK system. The US 2 year degree is about equivalent to the UK A-levels (the final 2 years of senior/high school). I don't know whether or not a 4 year US degree matches up with a 3 year UK degree by the end. I do remember some of my lecturers mocking a visiting lecturer for calling himself "Professor". In the UK academic system, "Professor" is a senior rank that has to be earned, not just what you call the person talking at the front of the room by default.
The USA, although very big and diverse, is still one country. European cultures are very different from one another (different languages, cuisines, architecture etc.). There are differences within the USA but much of the country is homogenised in a way that Europe isn't.
When an American says someone looks European that’s dumb seriously because looks vary so wildly across the whole continent. Slavic people compared to people from southern Spain for example
