" You wash clothes in the kitchen?" No ,we wash clothes in the washing machine, which happens to be in the kitchen because the bathroom is designed to take just the bathroom things and in an older British house is often a very small room . Kitchens are designed to take a range of under the counter( working top) items and washing machines fit nicely .
Canadian homes are similar to American homes and washing machines are rarely if ever in the bathrooms either. They are normally in a separate utility room or sometimes in a built in wardrobe/closet in a hallway.
@@helgazoomer1461Well not always, many many buildings have the washing machine and drying machine in the kitchen. In Québec anyway. My apartment is like this and the last one too. Not all of them tho.
Tyler, why would ANYONE brushing their teeth drip it onto the floor? Here in the UK, we have these things called "Sinks" that we stand over when we brush our teeth.
😂 I’m sorry, Tyler seems like a nice guy, but that’s really funny! He must have an enormous bathroom that he could walk about multi tasking while brushing his teeth!
@@watermelon7998 ... Ever heard of bathroom carpet. I've never lived anywhere and not had a bathroom carpet and known few people who haven't had carpeted bathrooms, easy wipe clean just like a bare floor, it's warm and cozy under foot. Anyone who thinks they get disgustingly dirty has a serious problem with their sloppy cleaning habits. I've seen a fair few filthy bathrooms which were very unsavoury, but never a capeted one as yet funnily enough. We use bath mats too, heard of those too.
The dinner thing is kind of a north/south divide, and possibly also a class thing. In the south it's often breakfast, lunch, dinner and in the north it tends to be breakfast, dinner, tea (tea is our evening meal).
That is often posted, that tea is the evening meal in the north, but that is not true as it is also called that in the south. It is dependant on class, not being posh, rather than where someone lives.
Yeah. Homes Under the Hammer houses are very often houses which haven't been decorated much since the 70s-80s, probably where an old person has recently died or finally moved to a more suitable place. There's a reason it's up for auction!
I find the shock of Americans, who build their huge houses on acres and acres of land, hilarious. You simply do not understand that in Europe, many houses existed BEFORE the invention of washing machines and dryers, with the next door neighbor sharing the same wall! Many houses never had been built with the idea of having a separate laundry. Hence, once washing machines were available, they were placed, where water supply was already available. Hence, the kitchen (sometimes also in the bathroom). You find this in many European older houses and especially in apartment houses that don‘t have a communal laundry in the basement (which is usually not a thing in Europe either, because in basements, you usually find storage compartments for the apartments)….
Exactly my washer is in my boiler room which is upstairs in the old bathroom so I have a laundry room but it’s quite uncommon unless it was purpose build or the same situation as me where they moved the bath room either a room over like my house or downstairs like my mums house has that way we both have laundry rooms but it was just because the water supply was already there so may as well 😂
its abut old British building and electrical codes. That why in old British bathrooms you have lights was outside or pull a sting. now you cant have powerful outlets in bathrooms but Brits use to have them in kitchen.
Our houses are made of solid materials, not wood and paper, so it's quite hard to route water to other rooms, so our clothes washing machines and dish washers are in the kitchen where the water and drainage is. No, not in the bathroom, because we can't have power sockets in a bathroom.
As of the latest update to the wiring guidelines, you can now have sockets in UK bathrooms. This is due to modern safety devices such as RCBOs (residual-current circuit breakers with overcurrent protection).
Dinner isn’t specific to just the north. I’m from the south east, and our school called ‘lunch’ ‘dinner’. Tea time is what I guess Americans would call ‘supper’ some Brits might call it ‘dinner’ as well. ‘Tea time’ with scones, sandwiches etc is ‘Afternoon tea’ which is NOT and I repeat NOT the same as ‘High Tea’. Afternoon tea is between lunch and dinner or dinner and tea time and was created by the Duchess of Wherever. High Tea was for the working class where they ate their main meal of the day and they would have it with a cup of tea and sit at high tables. It drives me insane when people but especially Americans saying I’m having High Tea at this hotel. No, you are having afternoon tea!
TEA = DINNER or SUPPER. TEA = HOT DRINK. DINNER = LUNCH or EVENING MEAL. It all depends on where you come from in the UK. I've never heard of tea just being a cold meal at night ! Carpet in the bathroom is NOT a thing since the 70s ! Baked beans are an integral part of a Full English or Full Scottish breakfast. Beer glasses are marked due to the WEIGHTS AND MEASURES ACT to show the correct measure. Starting a sentence with the word " right " or "so" !
Im in teh northeast o" england. First comes Tea at around 5, then its supper around 6 or 7 and dinner at 8. Also weirdly i live in an old mining house😂 i moved here and there is carpet in the bathroom lol
Homes Under the Hammer is a programme involving houses sold at auction..often old houses for sale following an inheritance.. with very outdated wallpaper..and then the buyer renovates them..
@@lindajw100 I guessed that much. But the other way around if I see US TV shows the furniture in houses often looks a lot like its straigt from the 1960ties. And that isnt even that old shows.
if you have a carpeted bathroom, you also have small shaped "mats" that fit around the toilet and sink to catch the "nastiness" which can be washed and swapped out. still its not common in new houses.
The wall paper was mostly a hangover from the 70s where every wall (and even the ceiling) could get papered over. Today we mostly just paint out walls, but on occasion we may still choose to paper a single wall to have an "accent wall". Carpet in the bathroom... 70s again. We don't do that anymore. The weights and measures act has its origins dating back nearly a thousand years with the intent cracking down on fraudulent food sellers, most notably of bread and beer (common with wheat and grain products). It is so ingrained in our culture that even today it is expected of you to ask for your pint glass to be topped up if it does not reach the measure.
What's weird about having a washing machine in the kitchen, their not all in the kitchen, alot are in a room that's next to the kitchen. Wallpaper is a thing from 70s it's rare now. What is weird using a pan to boil water. Using a kettle isn't just a British thing, if you go in any house in Europe you would find a kettle.
Oh, I've come to the conclusion that we Brits say multiple byes at the end of a call (I'm really trying not to do that) because we're making up for our US counterparts who on the phone don't say bye at all. See it as us redressing the balance 😎
Beans on toast slaps. A lot of British staples are comfort foods or have roots in times of rationing. They brought comfort then and they bring comfort now. They're also often very affordable and easily fill your belly. The bye thing is just being polite. It feels rude if you don't say it 4 times.
never seen a carpet on the walls of a bathroom the only thing i can think of is the bathmat or thing that goes round the floor of the bowl so ur feet not cold when u go for a dump
Every room in my house either has wallpaper or tiles. There's no painted bare plaster. Even when we've had our rooms redecorated since, we've stripped the walls and put up new wallpaper. My brother's house is fairly new, built within the last 10 years, and while most of his walls are painted, there are some walls that have wallpaper on them.
Public transport in London is excellent but we take it for granted. My local Underground station has a service every 4 or 5 minutes and if I arrive on the platform and the indicator board shows more then that, I consider it a serious delay.
Your probably not going to read this Tyler but, you don't live in the UK, but it does get extremely cold in the UK and wall paper tends to isolate the home from the cold, not all of us have ugly wall paper.
You got the bye on the phone just right. 😂. How to leave a house, either your own or someone else’s when there are people about. You slap your hands down on your thighs and say ‘right’ then get up from your chair
I have never, ever heard anyone end a phone conversation that way. That's a total crock of shit! And the same goes for slapping your thighs then saying "Right" when you get up from your chair. That also is total bollocks!
The dinner/tea things is a north-south divide generally. People from the north go Breakfast > Dinner (12pm) > Tea (6pm) and the south Breakfast > Lunch (12pm) > Dinner (6pm)
5:49 it goes breakfast dinner tea when it's to do with meals when it's not a meal we just say do you want a cup of tea/do you want a brew/ do you want a cuppa (or for the last example someone might also say i could go for a cuppa, but it really depends on where you live) also some people may also for the meals go breakfast lunch tea
I use both tea and dinner to refer to my evening meal. Tea with sandwiches and cakes is mostly known as afternoon tea or my grandson calls it a tea party.
1:03 The reason it's on Homes Under The Hammer is because it's an outdated property that is in need of renovation. It's not typical to have "ugly wallpaper" in Britain now (though this representative style was popular in the 1970s - a time when British comedy was arguably at its peak).
I think the "byeeeEEE" think is a bit of an exaggeration (in my experience). But we do say "bye", no less than 3 times in at least two different ways. "Alright, I'll catch you later, okay see ya, bye, bye!" With my parent's it's typically: "Okay, speak to you soon, bye bye.. love you too, see ya, bye, bye, take care, bye..... bye.............. bye" In contract when watching American TV, or movies, no-one says bye, or anything like it at the end of a call... watch for it! > "I'm heading there now, I'm 10 minutes away" < "Okay" > "I'll meet you at the entrance." < "Sure" [click]"
Great video as always mate. A couple of things regarding the bye at the end of a phone call... may be just me but as I am saying bye, I always seem to find a few more things to say. Same with people in the UK when they are leaving someone's property after a visit. They'll say they must be off, as in leave now, and stand on the doorstep chatting for another hour lol 😂
The reason we have our washing machine in the kitchen is because it's closer to the water inlet within our houses plus many houses don't have enough space for a separate laundry room . Having a washing machine in a bathroom seems very odd
I don't know if they still have them but you used to get bathroom rug sets that had a normal rectangular rug to put next to the bath or shower and a shaped one that fitted round the base of the toilet bowl. At least that could be put in the washing machine.
I hate it. It’s a thing, yes. But I refute to accept it. I’m a grump. When I say goodbye/bye I expect a simple reply that I don’t need to action. … but my Mum doesn’t understand.
"Homes under the hammer" show homes that have usually been left in a mess, sold at auction, then they re-visit when the buyer has upgraded it. Obviously they discuss stuff with the buyer like budget, what they're going to do with the house etc, and they generally feature local estate agents, (Realtor), to talk about how much the property is worth before and after.
The wallpaper you Googled was priced in dollars, so obviously a US site and sold in the US. Since a lot of houses in the UK are 'older' than your Country, they didn't make separate rooms for washing machines back then. duh!
"Tea" used in place of 'dinner' or 'supper' is certainly very common in certain areas of Britain, including Scotland, Wales and Northern England. This is partly due to the tendency in the same areas to call the mid-day meal 'dinner', probably derived from "School Dinners," which are served by 'Dinner Ladies!" 'Afternoon Tea' is different however, not being seen as a main meal and usually comprising of finger sandwiches, scones and cakes; while a futher variation is 'High Tea', which traditionally, does include a light cooked meal and toast, as well as scones and cakes, or a dessert. If you're only referring to the drink, it's normally described as a "cup of tea".
I used to have carpet in my bathroom, but being a guy sometimes 1st thing in the morning my aim can be off (if you get my drift) So the carpet ended up stained & smelly after only a year, so it had to go, I now have nice clean vinyl flooring
The ugly ass wallpaper only appears in old peoples houses such as grandparents, ive never seen a home with ugly wallpaper like that except people who are 65+
Homes Under The Hammer is a show that sells old rundown buildings that have been sitting empty for years & haven't been decorated for decades. I can guarantee that once the homes are bought & renovated they don't have wallpaper on every wall, very often there's no wallpaper, and if there is it will just be a feature wall. But the biggest majority of the time the homes are bought by developers, not people looking to live there themselves. So they just paint everything an off white colour of some sort, so whoever does move in has a blank canvas... I've also personally never known anyone to call dinner 'tea.' I know it does happen, but most people I know being from Scotland just call it dinner, lunch is completely different, it's what you have in the early afternoon and most times it's only if you work you'll have a lunch. And in my 45 years of being British, I've never seen a toilet with carpet in it.
Wallpaper was popular in the seventies for home decor. In the fifties and sixties, we liked a different colour scheme for each room, especially in your own bedroom where the colours could be conducive to sleep. Our living room wallpaper was a rich warm green with a beautiful embossed pattern all over it highlighted in gold. The furniture was a lounge and two chairs upholstered in green, and the contrasting colour for the rest of the room - doors, window frames and curtains - was a rich cream colour. Wallpaper has been around since about 400BC in China, the 13th century in Europe and the 16th century in Britain. That removes any label of weirdness as far as I’m concerned. The US knocks down their houses and builds a new one, so their architectural history is rapidly disappearing because they only value new stuff. That’s the weirdest thing of all! The rest of the world takes care and attention to preserve their history as much as possible. We can also learn from the past.
Nobody has just carpet in the bathroom what 💀, we have carpet mats that we put in front of the shower to soak up water and some people put 1 in front of the toilet but that's it
I left Wales for Canada over 50 years ago and at the time of leaving, I had never seen beans at breakfast. I also do not remember seeing them on any of our subsequent visits in the following six years, despite visiting and staying with friends family and B &Bs all over the country. In fact the first time I ever saw them for breakfast was at a buffet breakfast in Orlando where they catered to the many UK tourists that go there in the summer! I went back to Britain in 2008 and by then I often saw them and funnily enough people told me they had had them at breakfast for ever!
I grew up in 50s Australia when we still had a lot of English traditions and names. Mum would ask us to go wash our hands because Tea was nearly ready, she was referring to the evening meal, the last meal of the day. Breakfast, Lunch and Tea. As the decades passed, the word Dinner became more popular for the evening meal. We sat down as a family and Mum served up, then she joined us and we said Grace and then began to eat. I miss those days, I eat alone now.
as a brit, I very rarely heard "tea" used to refer to a meal, maybe just a few times in my life, but whenever it has it's always just referred to dinner
The telephone thing....in Shaun of the dead when his girlfriend leaves a message on the answerphone, she does it when she says bye. And i do it everytime too 😂
How they described the end of a phone call is very wrong. 1 person says bye, the other says bye, then the 1st person says bye again in the same tone before hanging up, and again thats more of an older person thing, the younger generation dont do it at all. I think the version they're talking about is clearly a scottish thing because down in england ive never heard a single call ending in that weird way
I'm from Northern England and always say "tea" for evening meal (which everyone I know from where I come from says the same - It's breakfast, either lunch or dinner, tea then supper) I've always said that from being a child BUT I have friends from other parts of the country who never use it, they say 'dinner' although they know what I mean if they hear me. The wallpaper thing is true in some cases. I have mostly painted, plastered walls but I have quite a quirky style and like to have fun wallpaper (just on one wall) in a couple of the rooms in my house.
You must remeber the houses in the UK are a third of the size of an American home, this is an overpopulated Land so demands makes the homes smaller and thus more expensive.
You can get crackers at target here in America In the north of the uk it’s dinner and tea, tea is a full meal it use to be tea as in the meal and high tea was drinking tea and usually cakes and or pastry products like sausage rolls or pork pies, it’s a very northern thing, in the south it’s lunch and dinner,
The problem with the London Underground, Is that it is very cleverly fought out and designed, so people actually take a little bit longer on their journey, Because if everybody got off at their desired stop when they needed to get off, There wouldn't be enough room in the streets above to incorporate all of the people, so it is a little bit packed yes
the thing is you wouldnt ask someone if they wanted tea, you would say "fancy a cuppa" and tea for my family isnt dinner because we have dinner at lunchtime.... so we have breakfast then dinner then tea and sometimes supper after that. now if your from a different part of UK you might have breakfast lunch and dinner. Of course you can also have afternoon tea which is not lunch or dinner its just a snack between meals consisting of sandwiches, savoury snacks and sweet snacks plus a pot of tea served in a china cup and saucer. its not really that confusing until you try to explain it.
Yes, lots of Brits call their evening meal "Tea". This can be something light, like sandwiches, (with butter), and a bit of cake, or some soup or whatever, or it can be a full sit down at the table together type meal. Traditionally a hot, filling meal that the man of the house comes home to, (because at work, he's only had sandwiches). But to make things confusing, early afternoon you would have lunch, and the evening meal, as you said, could also be called dinner or supper. If you want tea during the day, you'd be talking about a cup of tea.
Why WOULDN'T you put the washing machine in the kitchen? That's where the water mains enters the house. And the bathroom is usually directly above the kitchen for the same reason. Why would you make a separate room just for a washing machine, then have to run plumbing to it? These houses are designed to be affordable, and STILL hardly anyone can afford to buy one. Pointless extra rooms won't help with that.
I still think it's very weird to wash your clothes in the same space where you cook. Even mainland Europe typically have a separate room or else have the washing machine in the bathroom which would also save your mains problem. There's spaces for personal hygiene and spaces for eating.
@@anglo-dutchsausage344 You don't cook and handle clothes at the same time. All the pipes lead straight outside and the clothes are in a machine. Plus most of our houses in the UK aren't big enough. The house I am in is around 70 years old.
@@marydavis5234 But houses in the US are made of spit and paper, so people can afford to buy one that has a room just for washing clothes the lazy way. In the UK, even the poorest people, have to afford a house that's 4 inches of concrete, with a 4 inch air gap, and then another 4 inches of concrete. Nobody is buying houses made of 4X2 and plasterboard. Even dry walls are usually concrete, unless it's a cheap-ass block of apartments. Plus, many of the houses existed long before washing machines did.
It’s not the hats that are a tradition.. it’s the Christmas crackers that you pull it bangs! and the hats inside, along with a small tacky gift and cheesy joke. Brilliant 😀
The largest meal of the day is usual referred to as dinner, and then the meal that is left over is either lunch or tea depending on when you have your dinner. Afternoon Tea (also sometime referred to as baggin, though i havn't heard it since my grandparents) is usually between dinner and lunch and is basically tea, biscuits and cakes, kinda like an afternoon brunch. If you are asking for a cup of tea you will usually ask for a brew and after clarify tea or coffee, though it's rare to have to ask for a brew it will more than likely be offered before you get the chance. Regarding the telephone byes, i think we just like to make trippley sure each other are finished with the call and gives people chanse to interupt with "oh, one other thing...".
Brits don't have a set tea time to drink tea, we drink it anytime as you do coffee. You're referring to 'afternoon tea' (we don't call it tea time) which is drinking tea alongside maybe sandwiches and/or cake . It's thought of as upper class/posh and is considered a treat. In the north of England we use the term 'tea time' to describe our evening meal at around 5 or 6 o'clock. Our meals are generally: breakfast then dinnertime (lunch) then teatime (evening meal). Sometimes we might call a later or more formal meal 'dinner'.
UK person from North Lancs / Cumbria border here, is the ‘bye bye bye’ phone thing regional I wonder? People from my area can be like this on the phone but only a little, if at all, but when I speak to people in the Stoke area (some of my family have recently moved there) absolutely everyone I call who has the local accent does it, including medical professionals. The byes tend to start slowly, then they’ll be repeated really rapidly until the speaker hangs up, but it’s often in a way where it sounds like they’re in a hurry & want the conversation to end but they’re still attempting to be friendly & engaged. I’ve spoken to a lot of staff from the same hospital in that area & every single one of them ended the conversation like this, it was uncanny! Anyone here from a UK region where it’s done a lot?
...as other people have said 'dinner' and 'tea' are classed...rather than geographic...my dad was on night shift at the steel plants through most of the 1970s, and our mum worked in a factory thus we had to have "dinner at tea-time"...meaning we ate around 6pm...
Those "paper hats" come out of what we call Christmas crackers. We all get one before supper, and we wear them on our heads while we eat, haha. How do I know this? Because i'm Canadian and we do it here also😊😊
Tyler, you’re in that Midwest bubble again! “It's believed baked (or not baked) beans were first canned around the 1860s. But it was the Pennsylvania-based HJ Heinz Company (founded by Henry Heinz) that started mass production of tinned baked beans, in 1895.”
Some great niche things here as a Brit that made me chuckle. If you want a good example of the ‘Right’ thing at the end then just look up any video of Alfie Solomons in Peaky Blinders played by Tom Hardy. Definitely more of a London thing I would say
Living in the north of England, we had school dinners in the middle of the day and then tea when we got home from school and dad got home from work, usually about half past six. Highlight of the week was Saturday when we got fish and chips from the chippy just up the road.
The order of British meals in a lot of the Country is Breakfast, Dinner, Tea and Supper. A reason for this was with both parents working the Childrens main hot meal was mid-day at school. Tea is often a hot meal but lighter than Dinner. other meals and snacks are Brunch of elevenses in the morning or tea-break which can be mid morning or mid afternoon. Afternoon Tea is a specific upper class mid afternoon light meal of sandwiches and buns with a pot of tea. We take our beer seriously and their are 2 types of pint glasses, there is the dead pint glass which is 1 pint to the brim, or the head glass which has a line around half an inch below the brim which allows for the tight head on a proper English beer
Good show today. I never knew americans don't have crackers and paper hats at christmas?! Can you even call it christmas if you don't fall asleep with a paper hat on in front of the telly.
British homes generally aren't built with separate space for a utility room, like American homes are, so consequently the kitchen is the only place we have for a washing machine to go
Actually the old Victoria house had a utility room ( that was used as a wash house ) only they got converted to kitchens while the old kitchen was turned into living rooms while the front room became only for visitors
@ and barely big enough to fit the Barth and maybe a toilet and small sink & A medicine cabinet with a mirror ( my farther in law’s home had a separate toilet with a smaller bathroom )
Depends on where you come from it’s a regional thing to call Dinner Tea. But if you ask someone if they want tea you normally say do you want a cup of tea or a cuppa.
Teatime in the evening is typically a lighter meal (sandwich) if you had a heavier (e.g. hot) meal around midday. Of course there are regional variations.
Dinner time was always around 12 till 2 and tea time was 4 till 6 and the used to turn off the tv signal so families could eat in peace. Dinner was for going out in the evening.
do you ever figure that european houses are far smaller than us on the washing machine can be in the kitchen and if you have one it can be in the garage like i have but i dont have dryer for information my house is in downtown in a tiny village of 3300 people and her size is decent in habitable space as i have 1130,21 sqft
Bro in England we use a washing machine in the kitchen as it is the most often only availible place to connect the hose for main water and the hose for flushing the unit at the same time/place..most dont have basements and most houses only have this one connection point. Its not choice pal. X
Tea is the meal you have anytime between 4pm ish to 7pm ish. Any earlier it is dinner, any later it is supper. Breakfast dinner tea can be the same as breakfast lunch dinner. Hope that helps.
That's not universally true. Many people call the midday meal 'lunch' and the evening meal 'dinner'. It's partially a north/south difference and partially a class thing.
Tyler, sorry, but you live in a Midwest bubble. “Despite their evolution, Christmas crackers remain an important part of holiday traditions in the United States. Whether used as part of a family dinner or as part of a larger holiday celebration, crackers bring joy and excitement to the holiday season.” “Americans do bon bons? Originating in England, these festive treats, also known as bon bons, have been a beloved holiday tradition in many countries for over 150 years. From coast to coast, Americans have put their spin on this classic holiday tradition, resulting in various fascinating and fun Christmas cracker customs.”
The "you alright?" thing, in my experience (as a Brit), is said more like a conjoined single word or sound, rather than the two full words. Closer to, "yight" (y'alright, but ditching the 'alr'), so, more like "yight mate?" I guess, a bit like "what's up?" being abbreviated to "s'up," as in "sup, buddy?"
'Right' is usually an indication that you are about to stop doing what you are doing and do something else e.g. you are having a coffee with a friend and you say, "Right, I better get going". Also, we sometimes say 'Right then' in the same way.
" You wash clothes in the kitchen?"
No ,we wash clothes in the washing machine, which happens to be in the kitchen because the bathroom is designed to take just the bathroom things and in an older British house is often a very small room .
Kitchens are designed to take a range of under the counter( working top) items and washing machines fit nicely .
It could be wrong, but I think he’s reacted to what a British home looks like
Canadian homes are similar to American homes and washing machines are rarely if ever in the bathrooms either. They are normally in a separate utility room or sometimes in a built in wardrobe/closet in a hallway.

In the Midlands, midday was always dinnertime at school and teatime was around 6pm.
I grew up in Australia calling my evening meal tea.
I think he's talking about 70's wallpaper which the US used to have too lol
Yeah. Homes Under the Hammer houses are very often houses which haven't been decorated much since the 70s-80s, probably where an old person has recently died or finally moved to a more suitable place.
There's a reason it's up for auction!
My problem with Homes under the Hammer is you know every single room is going to end up a white box
I find the shock of Americans, who build their huge houses on acres and acres of land, hilarious. You simply do not understand that in Europe, many houses existed BEFORE the invention of washing machines and dryers, with the next door neighbor sharing the same wall!

Why is it weird to have a washing machine set up in the kitchen? Makes perfect sense as the plumbing is right there
Exactly and it's there for dishwashers too! Talk about being accessible!
Washing machine was not mention in the video
its abut old British building and electrical codes. That why in old British bathrooms you have lights was outside or pull a sting. now you cant have powerful outlets in bathrooms but Brits use to have them in kitchen.
Yes we have those in Canada too. Not everywhere but my apartment is like this.
Dinner and tea are different times of the day. There is also high tea which is less used
Our houses are made of solid materials, not wood and paper, so it's quite hard to route water to other rooms, so our clothes washing machines and dish washers are in the kitchen where the water and drainage is. No, not in the bathroom, because we can't have power sockets in a bathroom.
Same in France, not to mention that residences are smaller and you don't have extra rooms for equipment.
As of the latest update to the wiring guidelines, you can now have sockets in UK bathrooms. This is due to modern safety devices such as RCBOs (residual-current circuit breakers with overcurrent protection).
No one has washing machines in the bathroom
Dinner isn’t specific to just the north. I’m from the south east, and our school called ‘lunch’ ‘dinner’. Tea time is what I guess Americans would call ‘supper’ some Brits might call it ‘dinner’ as well. ‘Tea time’ with scones, sandwiches etc is ‘Afternoon tea’ which is NOT and I repeat NOT the same as ‘High Tea’. Afternoon tea is between lunch and dinner or dinner and tea time and was created by the Duchess of Wherever. High Tea was for the working class where they ate their main meal of the day and they would have it with a cup of tea and sit at high tables. It drives me insane when people but especially Americans saying I’m having High Tea at this hotel. No, you are having afternoon tea!
TEA = DINNER or SUPPER.
TEA = HOT DRINK.
DINNER = LUNCH or EVENING MEAL.
It all depends on where you come from in the UK.
I've never heard of tea just being a cold meal at night !
Carpet in the bathroom is NOT a thing since the 70s !
Baked beans are an integral part of a Full English or Full Scottish breakfast.
Beer glasses are marked due to the WEIGHTS AND MEASURES ACT to show the correct measure.
Starting a sentence with the word " right " or "so" !
Im in teh northeast o" england. First comes Tea at around 5, then its supper around 6 or 7 and dinner at 8. Also weirdly i live in an old mining house😂 i moved here and there is carpet in the bathroom lol
We had carpet in the bathroom in the 90s so did everyone I knew.
Tea (meaning dinner) is common in rural Australia
Carpets in bathrooms doesn`t exist anymore
O yes it does!
AND I have my washing machine in the kitchen...
I just think it’s hilarious that Americans question beans on toast when it’s a dish they invented 😂
Heinz Beans . American company. Beans grown there.
@@billspencer9430come on I've been many Americans in these videos are they really known for knowledge and common sense really 😂😂😂

Homes Under the Hammer is a programme involving houses sold at auction..often old houses for sale following an inheritance.. with very outdated wallpaper..and then the buyer renovates them..
@@lindajw100 I guessed that much. But the other way around if I see US TV shows the furniture in houses often looks a lot like its straigt from the 1960ties. And that isnt even that old shows.
if you have a carpeted bathroom, you also have small shaped "mats" that fit around the toilet and sink to catch the "nastiness" which can be washed and swapped out. still its not common in new houses.
I burst out laughing at the "bye bye byeeee" bit as as soon as it was pointed out i realised that every person i know including myself do this lol😂
The wall paper was mostly a hangover from the 70s where every wall (and even the ceiling) could get papered over. Today we mostly just paint out walls, but on occasion we may still choose to paper a single wall to have an "accent wall".
Carpet in the bathroom... 70s again. We don't do that anymore.
The weights and measures act has its origins dating back nearly a thousand years with the intent cracking down on fraudulent food sellers, most notably of bread and beer (common with wheat and grain products). It is so ingrained in our culture that even today it is expected of you to ask for your pint glass to be topped up if it does not reach the measure.
What's weird about having a washing machine in the kitchen, their not all in the kitchen, alot are in a room that's next to the kitchen. Wallpaper is a thing from 70s it's rare now. What is weird using a pan to boil water. Using a kettle isn't just a British thing, if you go in any house in Europe you would find a kettle.
Oh, I've come to the conclusion that we Brits say multiple byes at the end of a call (I'm really trying not to do that) because we're making up for our US counterparts who on the phone don't say bye at all. See it as us redressing the balance 😎
We just love each other so much that it takes about half an hour at the end of every phone call to say bye 😂
Beans on toast slaps. A lot of British staples are comfort foods or have roots in times of rationing. They brought comfort then and they bring comfort now. They're also often very affordable and easily fill your belly.
The bye thing is just being polite. It feels rude if you don't say it 4 times.
never seen a carpet on the walls of a bathroom the only thing i can think of is the bathmat or thing that goes round the floor of the bowl so ur feet not cold when u go for a dump
Wallpaper adds a layer of insulation. Painted plaster is cold to the touch whereas wallpaper stays warm.
Every room in my house either has wallpaper or tiles. There's no painted bare plaster.
Even when we've had our rooms redecorated since, we've stripped the walls and put up new wallpaper.
My brother's house is fairly new, built within the last 10 years, and while most of his walls are painted, there are some walls that have wallpaper on them.
Public transport in London is excellent but we take it for granted. My local Underground station has a service every 4 or 5 minutes and if I arrive on the platform and the indicator board shows more then that, I consider it a serious delay.
Your probably not going to read this Tyler but, you don't live in the UK, but it does get extremely cold in the UK and wall paper tends to isolate the home from the cold, not all of us have ugly wall paper.
You got the bye on the phone just right. 😂. How to leave a house, either your own or someone else’s when there are people about. You slap your hands down on your thighs and say ‘right’ then get up from your chair
I have never, ever heard anyone end a phone conversation that way. That's a total crock of shit! And the same goes for slapping your thighs then saying "Right" when you get up from your chair. That also is total bollocks!
I've never heard this and I've lived in the UK a total of over 40 years.
@@robcrossgrove7927 Redditors are full of shit and they embarrass us.
The dinner/tea things is a north-south divide generally. People from the north go Breakfast > Dinner (12pm) > Tea (6pm) and the south Breakfast > Lunch (12pm) > Dinner (6pm)
5:49 it goes breakfast dinner tea when it's to do with meals when it's not a meal we just say do you want a cup of tea/do you want a brew/ do you want a cuppa (or for the last example someone might also say i could go for a cuppa, but it really depends on where you live) also some people may also for the meals go breakfast lunch tea
7:15 I’m from the uk and I do not have carpet in the bathroom
Your 'ByEEEE' was perfect and made me smile at how good it was lol!
I use both tea and dinner to refer to my evening meal. Tea with sandwiches and cakes is mostly known as afternoon tea or my grandson calls it a tea party.
1:03 The reason it's on Homes Under The Hammer is because it's an outdated property that is in need of renovation. It's not typical to have "ugly wallpaper" in Britain now (though this representative style was popular in the 1970s - a time when British comedy was arguably at its peak).
I think the "byeeeEEE" think is a bit of an exaggeration (in my experience).
But we do say "bye", no less than 3 times in at least two different ways.
"Alright, I'll catch you later, okay see ya, bye, bye!"
With my parent's it's typically: "Okay, speak to you soon, bye bye.. love you too, see ya, bye, bye, take care, bye..... bye.............. bye"
In contract when watching American TV, or movies, no-one says bye, or anything like it at the end of a call... watch for it!
> "I'm heading there now, I'm 10 minutes away"
< "Okay"
> "I'll meet you at the entrance."
< "Sure"

Not all of us having washing machines in our kitchens. Increasingly people have separate utility / laundry rooms.
Great video as always mate. A couple of things regarding the bye at the end of a phone call... may be just me but as I am saying bye, I always seem to find a few more things to say. Same with people in the UK when they are leaving someone's property after a visit. They'll say they must be off, as in leave now, and stand on the doorstep chatting for another hour lol 😂
The reason we have our washing machine in the kitchen is because it's closer to the water inlet within our houses plus many houses don't have enough space for a separate laundry room . Having a washing machine in a bathroom seems very odd
2:10 I’m from the uk and that wall paper it what my grandad used to have you rarely see that
I have wallpaper on my chimney breast looks like brick work.
I don't know if they still have them but you used to get bathroom rug sets that had a normal rectangular rug to put next to the bath or shower and a shaped one that fitted round the base of the toilet bowl. At least that could be put in the washing machine.
Having 'a cuppa' and having 'us tea' are two different things.
With the phone we say bye so many times and the voice changes because nobody wants to be the one to end the call.
I hate it. It’s a thing, yes. But I refute to accept it. I’m a grump. When I say goodbye/bye I expect a simple reply that I don’t need to action. … but my Mum doesn’t understand.
I have heard that in American films. I've never experienced it in the UK in real life.
'Tea' instead of the term dinner or supper, very working class in the southern part of the UK as I can attest from my own background.
Great comment, seems lots of Northerners are clueless as to what happens in other parts of Britain, let alone England.
Yep - it is a class thing, not a location thing.
"Homes under the hammer" show homes that have usually been left in a mess, sold at auction, then they re-visit when the buyer has upgraded it. Obviously they discuss stuff with the buyer like budget, what they're going to do with the house etc, and they generally feature local estate agents, (Realtor), to talk about how much the property is worth before and after.
The wallpaper you Googled was priced in dollars, so obviously a US site and sold in the US. Since a lot of houses in the UK are 'older' than your Country, they didn't make separate rooms for washing machines back then. duh!
Indeed besides separate rooms can still be converted for a range of different reasons depending on their eras.
What about the houses that are newer? What about the old houses in continental Europe? They don't have the washing machines in the kitchen. Duh!
In the north west of England, dinner is the lunchtime meal from 12 noon. The late afternoon meal is called tea.
As it is in the south mate.
"Tea" used in place of 'dinner' or 'supper' is certainly very common in certain areas of Britain, including Scotland, Wales and Northern England. This is partly due to the tendency in the same areas to call the mid-day meal 'dinner', probably derived from "School Dinners," which are served by 'Dinner Ladies!" 'Afternoon Tea' is different however, not being seen as a main meal and usually comprising of finger sandwiches, scones and cakes; while a futher variation is 'High Tea', which traditionally, does include a light cooked meal and toast, as well as scones and cakes, or a dessert. If you're only referring to the drink, it's normally described as a "cup of tea".
Yes in Australia too. Even the Vegemite’s advert song says “happy little Vegemite’s for breakfast, lunch and tea”
Ugly wallpaper comes from a time when old houses would have uneven walls, so by having very bold patterns, it would hide those imperfections
Please react to Queen's entire Live aid performance. Its around 20 minutes. YOU HAVE TO SEE IT IN IT'S ENTIRETY.
I will in the near future!
Carpets in the bathroom are very 1970s/1980s in Britain.
I used to have carpet in my bathroom, but being a guy sometimes 1st thing in the morning my aim can be off (if you get my drift) So the carpet ended up stained & smelly after only a year, so it had to go, I now have nice clean vinyl flooring
The ugly ass wallpaper only appears in old peoples houses such as grandparents, ive never seen a home with ugly wallpaper like that except people who are 65+
Homes Under The Hammer is a show that sells old rundown buildings that have been sitting empty for years & haven't been decorated for decades. I can guarantee that once the homes are bought & renovated they don't have wallpaper on every wall, very often there's no wallpaper, and if there is it will just be a feature wall. But the biggest majority of the time the homes are bought by developers, not people looking to live there themselves. So they just paint everything an off white colour of some sort, so whoever does move in has a blank canvas... I've also personally never known anyone to call dinner 'tea.' I know it does happen, but most people I know being from Scotland just call it dinner, lunch is completely different, it's what you have in the early afternoon and most times it's only if you work you'll have a lunch. And in my 45 years of being British, I've never seen a toilet with carpet in it.
Wallpaper was popular in the seventies for home decor. In the fifties and sixties, we liked a different colour scheme for each room, especially in your own bedroom where the colours could be conducive to sleep. Our living room wallpaper was a rich warm green with a beautiful embossed pattern all over it highlighted in gold. The furniture was a lounge and two chairs upholstered in green, and the contrasting colour for the rest of the room - doors, window frames and curtains - was a rich cream colour. Wallpaper has been around since about 400BC in China, the 13th century in Europe and the 16th century in Britain. That removes any label of weirdness as far as I’m concerned. The US knocks down their houses and builds a new one, so their architectural history is rapidly disappearing because they only value new stuff. That’s the weirdest thing of all! The rest of the world takes care and attention to preserve their history as much as possible. We can also learn from the past.
Nobody has just carpet in the bathroom what 💀, we have carpet mats that we put in front of the shower to soak up water and some people put 1 in front of the toilet but that's it
I've been in bathrooms which had full carpet flooring in the past, they do exist just thankfully not common these days 🥲
I left Wales for Canada over 50 years ago and at the time of leaving, I had never seen beans at breakfast. I also do not remember seeing them on any of our subsequent visits in the following six years, despite visiting and staying with friends family and B &Bs all over the country. In fact the first time I ever saw them for breakfast was at a buffet breakfast in Orlando where they catered to the many UK tourists that go there in the summer! I went back to Britain in 2008 and by then I often saw them and funnily enough people told me they had had them at breakfast for ever!
I grew up in 50s Australia when we still had a lot of English traditions and names. Mum would ask us to go wash our hands because Tea was nearly ready, she was referring to the evening meal, the last meal of the day. Breakfast, Lunch and Tea. As the decades passed, the word Dinner became more popular for the evening meal. We sat down as a family and Mum served up, then she joined us and we said Grace and then began to eat. I miss those days, I eat alone now.
You said Grace? That's weirder than saying tea.
as a brit, I very rarely heard "tea" used to refer to a meal, maybe just a few times in my life, but whenever it has it's always just referred to dinner
Depends what part of the country you are
@@letsbeavenue makes sense, I'm from kinda south east area
Heard it been called tea by mutiple diffrent pepole and i am from south east manily pepole 50 or older though@@BlazingTomato
@BlazingTomato I'm from north east it goes
Breakfast
Dinner
Tea
I have always called it tea.
The telephone thing....in Shaun of the dead when his girlfriend leaves a message on the answerphone, she does it when she says bye. And i do it everytime too 😂
Dinner is basically a main meal that can be at any time of day, but if you want a light meal, it's lunch in the day time or tea in the evening.
How they described the end of a phone call is very wrong. 1 person says bye, the other says bye, then the 1st person says bye again in the same tone before hanging up, and again thats more of an older person thing, the younger generation dont do it at all. I think the version they're talking about is clearly a scottish thing because down in england ive never heard a single call ending in that weird way
I'm from Northern England and always say "tea" for evening meal (which everyone I know from where I come from says the same - It's breakfast, either lunch or dinner, tea then supper) I've always said that from being a child BUT I have friends from other parts of the country who never use it, they say 'dinner' although they know what I mean if they hear me.
The wallpaper thing is true in some cases. I have mostly painted, plastered walls but I have quite a quirky style and like to have fun wallpaper (just on one wall) in a couple of the rooms in my house.
You must remeber the houses in the UK are a third of the size of an American home, this is an overpopulated Land so demands makes the homes smaller and thus more expensive.
Carpet in the bathroom was common in the 70s..and early 80s..but not now..
You can get crackers at target here in America
In the north of the uk it’s dinner and tea, tea is a full meal it use to be tea as in the meal and high tea was drinking tea and usually cakes and or pastry products like sausage rolls or pork pies, it’s a very northern thing, in the south it’s lunch and dinner,
We sophisticated Southerners have tea like you unsophisticated Northerners, so your wrong as usual dude.
Does America have meal deals?
The problem with the London Underground,
Is that it is very cleverly fought out and designed,
so people actually take a little bit longer on their journey,
Because if everybody got off at their desired stop
when they needed to get off,
There wouldn't be enough room in the streets above to incorporate all of the people,
so it is a little bit packed yes
3:54 you should react to more of anglophenia
4:05 believe it or not a lot of Americans do still use them and it was used a lot in past centuries
the thing is you wouldnt ask someone if they wanted tea, you would say "fancy a cuppa" and tea for my family isnt dinner because we have dinner at lunchtime.... so we have breakfast then dinner then tea and sometimes supper after that. now if your from a different part of UK you might have breakfast lunch and dinner. Of course you can also have afternoon tea which is not lunch or dinner its just a snack between meals consisting of sandwiches, savoury snacks and sweet snacks plus a pot of tea served in a china cup and saucer. its not really that confusing until you try to explain it.
Yes, lots of Brits call their evening meal "Tea". This can be something light, like sandwiches, (with butter), and a bit of cake, or some soup or whatever, or it can be a full sit down at the table together type meal. Traditionally a hot, filling meal that the man of the house comes home to, (because at work, he's only had sandwiches).
But to make things confusing, early afternoon you would have lunch, and the evening meal, as you said, could also be called dinner or supper.
If you want tea during the day, you'd be talking about a cup of tea.
Why WOULDN'T you put the washing machine in the kitchen? That's where the water mains enters the house. And the bathroom is usually directly above the kitchen for the same reason. Why would you make a separate room just for a washing machine, then have to run plumbing to it? These houses are designed to be affordable, and STILL hardly anyone can afford to buy one. Pointless extra rooms won't help with that.
I still think it's very weird to wash your clothes in the same space where you cook. Even mainland Europe typically have a separate room or else have the washing machine in the bathroom which would also save your mains problem. There's spaces for personal hygiene and spaces for eating.
@@anglo-dutchsausage344 You don't cook and handle clothes at the same time. All the pipes lead straight outside and the clothes are in a machine.
Plus most of our houses in the UK aren't big enough. The house I am in is around 70 years old.
House in the US has the main water pipes in the laundry room, not the kitchen
@@marydavis5234 But houses in the US are made of spit and paper, so people can afford to buy one that has a room just for washing clothes the lazy way. In the UK, even the poorest people, have to afford a house that's 4 inches of concrete, with a 4 inch air gap, and then another 4 inches of concrete. Nobody is buying houses made of 4X2 and plasterboard. Even dry walls are usually concrete, unless it's a cheap-ass block of apartments.
Plus, many of the houses existed long before washing machines did.
@ do not believe everything you read on the internet, my house is made with brick and concrete and I’m from the US
Believe me Tyler, most brits see carpet in a bathroom as weird and gross too
It’s not the hats that are a tradition.. it’s the Christmas crackers that you pull it bangs! and the hats inside, along with a small tacky gift and cheesy joke. Brilliant 😀
The largest meal of the day is usual referred to as dinner, and then the meal that is left over is either lunch or tea depending on when you have your dinner. Afternoon Tea (also sometime referred to as baggin, though i havn't heard it since my grandparents) is usually between dinner and lunch and is basically tea, biscuits and cakes, kinda like an afternoon brunch. If you are asking for a cup of tea you will usually ask for a brew and after clarify tea or coffee, though it's rare to have to ask for a brew it will more than likely be offered before you get the chance. Regarding the telephone byes, i think we just like to make trippley sure each other are finished with the call and gives people chanse to interupt with "oh, one other thing...".
Not where I'm from, it's breakfast dinner and tea sometimes there is a later snack which is supper.
Brits don't have a set tea time to drink tea, we drink it anytime as you do coffee. You're referring to 'afternoon tea' (we don't call it tea time) which is drinking tea alongside maybe sandwiches and/or cake . It's thought of as upper class/posh and is considered a treat. In the north of England we use the term 'tea time' to describe our evening meal at around 5 or 6 o'clock. Our meals are generally: breakfast then dinnertime (lunch) then teatime (evening meal). Sometimes we might call a later or more formal meal 'dinner'.
UK person from North Lancs / Cumbria border here, is the ‘bye bye bye’ phone thing regional I wonder? People from my area can be like this on the phone but only a little, if at all, but when I speak to people in the Stoke area (some of my family have recently moved there) absolutely everyone I call who has the local accent does it, including medical professionals. The byes tend to start slowly, then they’ll be repeated really rapidly until the speaker hangs up, but it’s often in a way where it sounds like they’re in a hurry & want the conversation to end but they’re still attempting to be friendly & engaged. I’ve spoken to a lot of staff from the same hospital in that area & every single one of them ended the conversation like this, it was uncanny! Anyone here from a UK region where it’s done a lot?
...as other people have said 'dinner' and 'tea' are classed...rather than geographic...my dad was on night shift at the steel plants through most of the 1970s, and our mum worked in a factory thus we had to have "dinner at tea-time"...meaning we ate around 6pm...
Those "paper hats" come out of what we call Christmas crackers. We all get one before supper, and we wear them on our heads while we eat, haha. How do I know this? Because i'm Canadian and we do it here also😊😊
I always find it weird Americans on tv never say bye on the phone but the bye byeee had me 😂
Tyler, you’re in that Midwest bubble again! “It's believed baked (or not baked) beans were first canned around the 1860s. But it was the Pennsylvania-based HJ Heinz Company (founded by Henry Heinz) that started mass production of tinned baked beans, in 1895.”
Some great niche things here as a Brit that made me chuckle. If you want a good example of the ‘Right’ thing at the end then just look up any video of Alfie Solomons in Peaky Blinders played by Tom Hardy. Definitely more of a London thing I would say
Living in the north of England, we had school dinners in the middle of the day and then tea when we got home from school and dad got home from work, usually about half past six. Highlight of the week was Saturday when we got fish and chips from the chippy just up the road.
What is strange is that the beans used to make canned baked beans is sauce are almost entirely imported into the UK from America
The order of British meals in a lot of the Country is Breakfast, Dinner, Tea and Supper. A reason for this was with both parents working the Childrens main hot meal was mid-day at school. Tea is often a hot meal but lighter than Dinner. other meals and snacks are Brunch of elevenses in the morning or tea-break which can be mid morning or mid afternoon. Afternoon Tea is a specific upper class mid afternoon light meal of sandwiches and buns with a pot of tea.
We take our beer seriously and their are 2 types of pint glasses, there is the dead pint glass which is 1 pint to the brim, or the head glass which has a line around half an inch below the brim which allows for the tight head on a proper English beer
Good show today. I never knew americans don't have crackers and paper hats at christmas?! Can you even call it christmas if you don't fall asleep with a paper hat on in front of the telly.
‘a bizarre opera’, is the perfect summation. 😂
Been living in UK for over 14 years and have never encountered a carpeted bathroom...
British homes generally aren't built with separate space for a utility room, like American homes are, so consequently the kitchen is the only place we have for a washing machine to go
Actually the old Victoria house had a utility room ( that was used as a wash house ) only they got converted to kitchens while the old kitchen was turned into living rooms while the front room became only for visitors
@@jameshead9119 And a bathroom is often upstairs.
@ and barely big enough to fit the Barth and maybe a toilet and small sink & A medicine cabinet with a mirror ( my farther in law’s home had a separate toilet with a smaller bathroom )
I love your videos on Britain 👏🏻 I’m from England, and I thoroughly enjoy your take on all things british, you’re awesome 🙌🏻⭐️
Depends on where you come from it’s a regional thing to call Dinner Tea.
But if you ask someone if they want tea you normally say do you want a cup of tea or a cuppa.
Yes my washing machine is in the kitchen
I went to boarding school in England and had beans for breakfast every morning with sausages. Perfect
7:38 this is not standard practise Britain. Maybe 40 years ago?
Instead of tea, call it dinner. It's less confusing!
Teatime in the evening is typically a lighter meal (sandwich) if you had a heavier (e.g. hot) meal around midday. Of course there are regional variations.
We have beans for breakfast in Canada, but it's just a side with toast and eggs sort of thing
Dinner time was always around 12 till 2 and tea time was 4 till 6 and the used to turn off the tv signal so families could eat in peace. Dinner was for going out in the evening.
do you ever figure that european houses are far smaller than us on the washing machine can be in the kitchen and if you have one it can be in the garage like i have but i dont have dryer for information my house is in downtown in a tiny village of 3300 people and her size is decent in habitable space as i have 1130,21 sqft
Bro in England we use a washing machine in the kitchen as it is the most often only availible place to connect the hose for main water and the hose for flushing the unit at the same time/place..most dont have basements and most houses only have this one connection point. Its not choice pal. X
Tea is the meal you have anytime between 4pm ish to 7pm ish. Any earlier it is dinner, any later it is supper. Breakfast dinner tea can be the same as breakfast lunch dinner. Hope that helps.
That's not universally true. Many people call the midday meal 'lunch' and the evening meal 'dinner'. It's partially a north/south difference and partially a class thing.
@ I stand corrected.👍
Tyler, sorry, but you live in a Midwest bubble. “Despite their evolution, Christmas crackers remain an important part of holiday traditions in the United States. Whether used as part of a family dinner or as part of a larger holiday celebration, crackers bring joy and excitement to the holiday season.”
“Americans do bon bons?
Originating in England, these festive treats, also known as bon bons, have been a beloved holiday tradition in many countries for over 150 years. From coast to coast, Americans have put their spin on this classic holiday tradition, resulting in various fascinating and fun Christmas cracker customs.”
The "you alright?" thing, in my experience (as a Brit), is said more like a conjoined single word or sound, rather than the two full words. Closer to, "yight" (y'alright, but ditching the 'alr'), so, more like "yight mate?" I guess, a bit like "what's up?" being abbreviated to "s'up," as in "sup, buddy?"
'Right' is usually an indication that you are about to stop doing what you are doing and do something else e.g. you are having a coffee with a friend and you say, "Right, I better get going". Also, we sometimes say 'Right then' in the same way.
