I didn’t know I missed historic buildings until I had lived in the USA for ten years, came back for a visit, and went to an old church. I became quite emotional, and I realised that it was giving me a feeling of stability and comfort just to be in such an old building. We don’t know what we’ve got until we lose it.

@jeffstevens4262 2 года назад

As a true Brit, I think the thing I'd miss most of all (apart from all the things you mentioned here) is our amazing NHS. We're all so proud of it and the wonderful people who make it what it is.

@davidwebley6186 2 года назад

As a Brit the things I took for granted until I lived abroad for a time were our history and sense of humour. I lived in a country where most of the buildings dated from the last 150 years and the one main historic attraction dated back to the 17th century. In my town we have several pubs that are at least 400 years older than that. Humour was very very difficult, I don't mean jokes but just everyday humour which is a part of who we are or who I am. At best I'd get a lot of strange expressions or on occasions I had unknowingly upset someone so had to keep digging myself out of holes often with a paper ladder unfortunately.

I think people like a Sunday roast because its the one time family sit down together and eat a meal. The rest of the time your busy and working.

@billythedog-309 5 месяцев назад

Sunday lunch is a long-standing tradition and it’s such a tasty filling meal and a time the family comes together to eat 🥰

Im British and I've never had a sunday roast (knowingly) in my life. I feel like it's a cliche that foriegners buy into.

@lynettemahoney1710 14 дней назад

I left the UK (Wales) 53 years ago and the thing I missed most was family,pub life,cod and chips and Christmas with all the streets being decorated.

@andrewrobinson-morris1852 2 года назад

Obviously it depends where you go, but for me it's our history. Not just the obvious, castles, palaces etc, but the stories, innovations that there is so much known about ordinary life from 1000 years or more ago, because we have books that old.

@damarekonayaro5781 2 года назад

Double edged sword given the actual history of English and latterly "British," expansionist and Imperial history.

@andrewrobinson-morris1852 2 года назад

@@damarekonayaro5781 as always history is in the hands of those who write it, rather than necessarily the truth of events. Bias is inevitable but of course having an open mind to that is the best way of learning from it, don't you agree?

@scottwelsh7381 2 года назад

I get the weather thing, it's like if you're hungover or cba and it's beautiful sunshine outside, not only do you feel lie you have to go out and do stuff BUT also if you decide you don't want to and you want to watch a film it's much less comfortable. Whereas if it's raining or just dank and cloudy you feel like you have an invitation to not do anything that day and that that's what everyone else is doing. Wind, rain, hangover and takeaway or even just a brew and it can be the best day ever!

@trevordavies7760 2 года назад

Your love of castles I share - you must visit Wales. Wales has more castles (per square …) than any other country in the world. In Wales, if your canol y dref (town centre) doesn’t have a castle, you would suspect your ancestors of cowardice. The castles often come with a backdrop of magnificent countryside too.

My favourite thing about the UK that I would miss if I was to move abroad is without a shadow of a doubt the fantastic brilliant NHS and all the superheroes that work for it, God bless them all!

@annaburch3200 2 года назад

I think my favorite thing when we went was the queuing up and the respect a line gets! 🤣 I am such a weird little rule follower when it comes to things like lines. I love that a normally quiet, sweet old lady will go off on someone cutting in line. Yes!!!! Respect the queue!!! 👍

@thomasalexand 2 года назад

Try queuing at a bus stop in Southall.

@maverick4220 Год назад

That's funny cause British people hate queuing although we do it cause we have no choice.

@jjkay100 2 года назад

As a child, Sunday roast dinner was a given. Mum would incinerate a joint of beef and there would be gravy and roasties and Yorkshire pud and so on. I don’t know anyone who still does that on a regular basis. I’m surprised that you see this as a British thing. We still cook a roast dinner but it will be whenever we feel like it. And can be arsed!

@jonathanbignall1198 2 года назад

I think it would be a tie between pubs and tea for me if I moved abroad. Glad to have you with us Yvette!

@archereegmb8032 3 месяца назад

Back in the day, Sunday Roast was usually the only meal the whole family (large families) could sit down to, all together (shift work, etc).

@SteveP_2426 2 года назад

I would definitely agree with Bobbie Rocks that on a practical level the NHS would be the biggest thing I'd miss. Not that I or my family have had to use it that much thankfully but just the idea that if I need treatment at any point that I don't have to worry about having a certain account balance or health insurance policy. On a more wellbeing level I think I would miss the variety of scenery. Yes we don't have a Grand Canyon, Yellowstone NP, Banff/Jasper NPs, Volcanoes and the like but for a relatively small island we have a tremendous variation in scenery which is reachable relatively easily and, as landscape photography is my hobby, I really would miss.

@CaptLoquaLacon 2 года назад

I think in terms of British humour, something that gets overlooked is how well we balance comedy and tragedy in films and TV. It's one of the things that made Four Weddings And A Funeral almost uniquely British and a massive hit. I've seen some US indie stuff that comes close, but it's just so much easier to find good examples of it in the UK, even with lesser known things like Marion & Geoff, or the drama In The Flesh that mixed in nods towards how absurd some things looked with some really big emotional beats. Despite how good the Goes Wrong Show is though, I might still have to concede that French possibly do farce better than us

@tiggerwood8899 2 года назад

I would miss the seaside. I was born near Manchester but moved to Blackpool when I was a year old. I dont live there anymore, moved down the road to Lytham. There's just something about being by the sea. The storms ( known as a light breeze) bringing 30ft waves over the sea wall.

@damianpritchard1456 2 года назад

I have lived in Aus and US, and came to the conclusion the weather in SE england is the best. not too hot never too cold. I agree with you.

@markpstapley 2 года назад

Familiarity breeds contempt. My friend lives less than a mile from the ruins of a castle, and takes the dog for a walk round it most days. People try to vandalise it and treat it with contempt. I would pay to see you dressed up as a fairy tail princess. Maybe you should go to a medieval banquet at a castle one day and watch the jousting, if Covid ever ends.

@Captally 2 года назад

I was in Australia mid 1960s, Perth, Freemantle and Bunbury and found the pubs very little different to ours except for Schooner and Middy sizes in place of Pints and Half pints.

@daveofyorkshire301 2 года назад

You do know dragons are the national animal of Wales, the Welsh kings of Aberffraw first adopted the dragon in the early fifth century in order to symbolise their power and authority after the Romans withdrew from Britain. Plus the national animal of Scotland is a unicorn, James II wholeheartedly embraced the legend, and the unicorn became the symbol of purity and power that Scottish kings and nobility identified with in the 15th Century.

@welshpete12 2 года назад

I live in Wales , I have lived abroad and travelled quite a bit . What I miss when I was in the USA is old churches and the countryside . There is a church I sometimes go to that is like traveling back to the middle ages . It's right up in the hills far from the main road and has altered very little since 1260's when it was built . Outside in the graveyard is a stone cross where the second crusade is said to have been preached . When they were trying to persuade people to go on crusade to Palestine. Just below the church there is a spring and a well where people even today come and pray . The waters are said to cure bad eye site . There are always little crosses left there by the faithful . On the other side is large country house and farm that was given by King Henry VII to one of his followers in about 1450 . There is a rood screen , rood means cross in old English, that has been there sense 1360 . I wonder around the church and wonder what stories it could tell of the people who worshiped there all those years .

Dragons might not be real but in Scotland Nessy, Unicorns and Haggis are real, but we farm them now.

Would I Lie To You is great, the best is Qi. What about cash makes you nervous? I love it, there are some things you can't pay for without it. A Sunday roast is just the best, it can't be explained. I love British weather, there is just the right amount of variety and range. The North is nice as well. I may be biased, but I think our humour is the best as well. I couldn't move, I'd miss the comedy, weather, food, transport, places and history.

@stevegray1308 2 года назад

I am English and so have been brought up with what we have but one thing here I really like are really old parish churches. It is odd because I am atheist but they tend to be beautiful buildings, small but perfect.
