We don't 'like' queuing ( who likes to wait?), it's just we want fairness - first come first served and all that!

@Tim Webb Haha, I agree, if you queue-jump, you should get ostracised from society.

@sniggs101 4 года назад

But we Brits also sometimes allow queue jumping IF we give permission. Example if I am in a queue and I have a large amount of shopping and the guy behind me has literally 1 item, I will let him go before me as it's not really going to inconvenience me and he was patiently waiting in line. Of course if he had been showing any sign of frustration then I would get to the till first, run through all my shopping then send my partner to the far end of the store to get some obscure item and make him wait just because I can.... Oh yes we Brits know how to get under the skin of those who annoy us mwahaha (edited spelling)

@sergarlantyrell7847 4 года назад

@@sniggs101 I would contend that that's then not jumping the queue, as you're letting them go first. My unofficial definition of queue-jumping is only when the jumper does it without explicit invitation by the jumpee.

What a lot of people forget/don’t know, is that the UK had very strict restrictions, on their food, because of the war, and it didn’t finish until the late fifties. This meant, that we didn’t have access to foreign herbs and spices, for nearly twenty years, which meant that we were used to bland food, it also meant that we learnt to queue up for everything throughout the war, and it would have been looked down upon, if you tried to say to anyone, that you should have preferential treatment.....

The queuing thing is not just about us liking things to be orderly and fair. You see, I own my position in the queue. It is a little piece of short-term real estate and, especially in the supermarket, if the person behind me only has one or two items it is within my gift to invite them to jump the queue. They will politely accept, often giving the impression that this has never happened to them before, "Really, are you sure? Thank-you". Then another "Thank-you" after they have paid. They know the value of what I have given up and they will be sure to do the same when they get the opportunity.

I think the bad British food thing may have originated from the war. When American servicemen came to Britain, the country was economically flat on it's back, rationing was in full swing and the U-boats were picking off supplies crossing the Atlantic. The war produced a boom time for the USA and had the opposite effect over here, particularly regarding food and health. Rationing continued after the war into the 1950s.

@debbielough7754 4 года назад

I think you're probably right. There was a lot of boiled meat as well, because it meant the cheaper and tougher cuts of meat could be used (meaning you'd get more meat for your coupons, because meat was rationed by price, not weight). Ironically, the strict limits on fats and sugar, and the lack of sweets and chocolate meant it was an incredibly healthy diet.

The reason British people drink so much tea is probably historic. The UK has historic links with India & China - big producers of tea! The UK does not have historic links with, for example, Latin America - where lots of coffee is produced - so the UK drinks tea not coffee. The USA's historic links are the opposite - so lots of coffee gets drunk there. Also tea (not coffee) won the war for the British - fairly sure Victoria Wood did a good programme about it!

@thecraggrat 4 года назад

Actually Coffee was introduced to the UK and was a more popular drink earlier than tea, with 3000 odd coffee houses in existence in the 17th century, the London stock exchange was started in a coffee house as did lloyd's insurance...The popularity of tea over coffee in the UK was due to other factors.

Queuing came about during WWII when food in particular was rationed and distributed military style. I will always call out a queue jumper.

When i lived in London i got asked a lot of daft questions but only one thing annoyed me. I was walking down Borough High Street and an American bloke stoped his car and asked me the way to London Bridge. I said "You have probably just driven over it. Just turn round again and it's 300yds down the road." He said, quite rudely I thought, "That's not it. We could see it in the distance" "Yes, that _was_ London Bridge" "No it wasn't" "Well, if you know so much why are you asking me? Find your own fucking way" I didn't think of anything witty to say. I am English, honest. Mind you later I felt ashamed of myself.

You really don't know too much about the U.S. We do indeed eat pancakes, french toast, sausage, bacon, eggs and a myriad of other "breakfast foods" for dinner (supper). Popular foods in the U.S. are sweeter here than European food but we also have a good collection of savory dishes. Not everything has sugar added.

A guy I know was in America once and he got pulled over by the police. He said he's British and the police officer said "Oh my god, I know a guy in England called Bob! Do you know him?!" because England is like a small town to them.

@jameshumphreys9715 4 года назад

As UK has a drinking culture, if you tell someone, you are teetotal, the response is, you don't drink is the equivalent to "you must be boring." My mum came from Sunderland and worked for the queen. McIntyre, we all tut in our mind, but never out loud.

The London thing pisses me off online to no end. I've even specified 'Wales' and they're like 'is that in/near London?' It's hard because I was actually born in London, but we moved when I was too little to remember. I still don't like London when I go. It's okay if I'm there for an event but I'd never live there

@guywilcox736 4 года назад

The bad food thing comes from WW2 I think. We had rationing , our food was awful back then and visiting American soldiers would have experienced it and taken back the idea that our food was bad. But nowadays it's not the case. We have some dishes which might seem strange but in terms of cuisine it's very diverse here now.

@johnbrownbridge873 4 года назад

Like most of these vids there's lots of generalisations in here, eg Mary Berry , I know who she is but don't care about her or 99% of the so called celebrities ppl go on about. Tea, I think most ppl don't care what you drink and would guess it's not an either or situation. Think the royals generally do a decent job but I don't want to know all the ins and outs of their lives, this applies again to the celebrity culture ppl who can't wait to tell everyone they are gay or they have a baby or theyve broken up with the partner theyve been with for the last 2 weeks. Still like watching your vids tho and rant over. :)

I accepted long ago that the Americans think we all come from London; so instead of saying to them "I'm from Essex" now I just say; "Oh I'm from East London." And where did you find all the nice drivers? I see the worst driving every day, I am a van driver and no; I don't drive like they normally get a reputation for. I'm one of the polite drivers.
