Mistake: don't tell us things we know and take for granted, eg English pronunciation is not always predictable by the spelling. We know this. Water is wet. Who knew?
We Brits are always very grateful when our neighbours take in parcels for us. I think it's really offensive that you think this isn't a safe option. Of course, you can always set up a PO Box at your local sorting office and collect Royal Mail at your convenience. Carriers like Evri and Amazon don't offer this but you can nominate a safe place. Brits are very polite, especially with queueing and not wanting to offend. Except when critiqueing culture shock videos... If you're cold, put more clothes on. As for central heating, what you call a furnace we call a boiler. Radiators DO radiate heat. Perhaps you need to programme your heating system properly. And make sure there are no obstructions to radiators like sofas and curtains. The word ending 'shire' means county, which is an administrative division in the country. We never pronounce it shire, but it varies depending on where you live. In the north, its pronounced shurr ie Lancashurr, Yorkshurr. Down south irs more likely to be pronounced sheer. So Hampsheer, Bedfordsheer. To make it interesting, we have a type of horse called a shire horse. That IS pronounced the way all you North Americans do.
i hope you learn to enjoy things like medieval castles, viking history, pagan festivals, coastal walks and such. please don’t boot-lick the royal family, there’s not another brit i know who likes them. do some research on monarchy and colonialism and you’ll think the same :D
I'm here for things starting to bloom in the middle of February... i'll choose that all day, every day over -40 degrees. #canadianintheuk #canadianinengland
"Ark at 'e" is a very Bristolian saying. I'm not sure that you'd be understood if you said that in London or Manchester! By the way, as a Bristolian myself, it's nice to hear a genuine Bristol accent like that of your husband Paul. When non-Bristolians try to imitate it they usually get it horribly wrong.
@@AnythingLounge thats also like saying every english speaking country that doesnt use american english is just trying to be different just because american engish is more popular 🤦♂️
Ever since when I was 17, right when I got into football ⚽️. I then went really deep learning about England. Since then my love for United Kingdom grew and grew. Lately right after the shift aka The Pandemic, my love for england once again grows and it’s getting at to the part where I’m trying to be like an Englishman and I’m born in the USA.
@@Britneyspears2412 Some words like Aluminium, poem, dynasty. They sounds closer to how they are pronounced in french when said with a Bristol accent than with the girl's.
@09:32 She's sort of wrong. Pedestrians always have right of way, It would be illegal to purposely run somebody over. I think what she really means is where cyclists are to be given more room on the road. This is mentioned in the new Highway code for UK
The British worker would stop work at around 11am and have a cake and cuppa tea but really normally just biscuits (cookies usa) to dunk in their cup of tea... 15 minutes later it was back to work.... Millions of British workers did this in the uk with trade unions threatening strikes if workers weren't allowed their elevenses.
The curry as a national dish you are correct on, its the national dish, chicken tikka masala, but its not an actual indian dish ever made in india, yes we colinised india for 200 years, as we did half the world, brough back tea and spices, chicken tikka masal has been voted englands national dish and it was created for the english pallet, and i had it 2 nights ago, lol,
the bangers and mash, well the term bangers, came from world war one, the sausauges then had a lot of water in them, when fried the water expanded and cause the sausuages to explode, hence the bangers
