One thing they never do in British restaurants (which they do in the US) is take your plate away when you've finished eating before everyone else has finished. They only clear all the plates at the same time when everyone's finished. It's considered very impolite to take your plate away the way it's done in the US.

@kphedges1 2 года назад

With the knife and fork etiquette after placing them together you should also leave part of the handles about an inch off the edge of the plate. This makes it easier for the person clearing up to gather the cutlery and keep their hands clean.

@blotski 2 года назад

Related to the sun thing is the short days in winter. I do know an American who told me he had just arrived in the UK midwinter, got on a train in London to go up north just before four in the afternoon. Still a bit jet lagged he dozed off. He woke up only about half an hour later and it was dark. He nearly crapped himself because he thought he'd been asleep for hours and probably missed his stop. He was still pretty confused when he looked at his watch. My skill related answer is Ancient Greece. I am a linguist and enjoy learning new languages but recently thought I need a new different challenge. I visited the British library recently and enjoyed looking at the Ancient Greek stuff but realised I know very little about it having forgotten everything I did in school. So I've been reading about Ancient Greece ever since!

I have just had one week of unbroken sunshine visiting family near Prague then came home to another ten days of warm sunny weather in the UK. Seems like a bonus for this time of the year and it is really appreciated. What you should realise (with the long winter nights and the long summer days in the UK) is that Florida is about the same latitude as North Africa and if you draw a line from Seattle to Anchorage the UK would be about the same latitude as the halfway point along that line. That is why we try to make the best use of the sun when it shines down on us.

We Brits tend to use our knives and forks differently to those from the US. In some US restaurants I would do the Brit thing and place the cutlery lined up on the plate when I was done but the waiter would then chuck them back on the table indicating you use the same cutlery for the next course! They would also take away your plate before your partner had finished eating which was supposed to look like attentive service but just looked rude to me. On your final question - I think a language or new technical skills would be good.

@t.a.k.palfrey3882 2 года назад

I enjoy your presentations greatly. So, many thanks. The principal reason for the easy access to open country in the UK - as in almost all of Europe - is the strict zoning (planning) regulation. In most of the US, suburban strawl is much less controlled, and things like huge billboards are omnipresent. As an example, in the 90s, when I lived in Loudoun Co in VA, I could walk out my door and stroll along country roads to Middleburg with nary a house in sight. When I visited just before Covid, the road from Falls Creek to Leesburg was one continuous semi-urban sprawl.

Bowls is known in the US as lawn bowling, or more accurately it evolved into lawn bowling. You play both games on a bowling green, which is where the city of Bowling Green, Ohio, and the university of the same name, get said name from.

I LOOOOVE French Boules or "Petanque", as it's called Provence. Basically he same as Lawn Bowling, but more like Bocce on a dirt pitch and with silver balls that have different markings. The marker ball/jack is called the cochonette (piglet) and you have to stand in one spot with your feet together and toss the ball upwards using an underhand motion. It lands and rolls a little, but the final goal is the same as Lawn Bowling, Bocce and even Curling. I think it's super fun and I want to build a pitch in our yard. 🤣 When we travel around Vancouver BC, most parks have bowling greens and we often see people dressed all in white playing. There's still a big British influence in BC, especially Victoria. (I also want to study more about linguistics and accents, so Skillshare? 😉)

@thecraggrat 2 года назад

Talking about malt vinegar...do you eat pickled onions? I mean proper UK pickled onions, I found out from my American friends that here it is sliced onion in vinegar (...NOT the same thing!). I am an expat and pickled onions are a real pain to get over here, not to mention eye wateringly expensive (BTW, I recommend Garner's if you do want to try some). Which comes back to the malt vinegar - it is really hard to get over here in the US, especially in bulk which I need so I can make some pickled onions at home. That leads to the dearth of pickling size onions to be found over here too, though I finally found a source, I just hope it lasts. This is one of the things I miss over here as I love decent pickled onions with a decent bit of cheddar, but that's not as bad as it used to be, I'm hoping for more British cheese to be imported after a recent agreement :-)

@xyz49271 2 года назад

Its a Bowling Green. I lived as a British expat in Asia for 10 years & languages are definitely what fascinate me, I'm a keen amateur photographer as well, so these are the subjects I like to study, even if for one of them you really need to live in the countries where those languages are spoken. I'm always interested in the cultural & linguistic differences between various places, especially countries that are supposed to speak the "same" language. I'm still amazed at how much of my tastes are still influenced by time out in the orient even though I returned to the UK almost 9 years ago. Never liked malt vinegar not even from a chippy.

@Foxbat320 2 года назад

Yep I`m here to the end . PS vinegar is used on fish and chip for the same reason you put lemon on fish . The acid breaks down any oil in fish to make the fish easier to digest . Back in the "old days " it was hard to keep fresh fruit fresh so hence a different type of acid VINEGAR was used .

It's a bowling green, my friend. Remember, the woods have a bias, so cannot be rolled straight. Also, from the North Midland and Mid Wales, north, the greens are crown greens, so have the added challenge of being slightly raised at the centre, so one has to allow for the bias of the wood, plus the bias of the green.

@davidjones332 2 года назад

Real afficionados will tell you that crown green bowling is the pinnacle of achievement. The green is raised at its centre, so the bowler has to make allowance for the gradient and the angle at which the bowl crosses it to bowl an accurate length. Before they were turned into car parks a great many pubs used to have a bowling green round the back, and they're still a feature of most municipal parks, though there are numerous private bowling clubs.

Another very BRITISH thing is Last night of the Proms, it’s on all week and very difficult to get tickets for but the Last night is when our typical British stuffiness is somewhat relaxed, and everyone from the orchestra conductor down lets their hair down and has a fun time.

@barriehull7076 2 года назад

Lawn Bowls or Crown green bowls, two types. A bowling green is a finely laid, close-mown and rolled stretch of turf for playing the game of bowls. Before 1830, when Edwin Beard Budding of Thrupp, near Stroud, UK, invented the lawnmower, lawns were often kept cropped by grazing sheep on them. The world's oldest surviving bowling green is the Southampton Old Bowling Green, which was first used in 1299.

Bowling Green! There are two types I think, Lane Bowling as on your video and Crown Green Bowling. Lane Bowling is where a load of people bowl down a set line of the set out lawn / Green whatever bowlers call it. A chosen player first bowl the Jack down the Lane and as you’d expect try and get more of your bowls closer to the Jack ( obviously more rules than this but that’s about it) the bowls are weighted on one side so your skill is to know which way to allow your bowl to fall. This is the more formal game in the UK. Note the white “uniform”. The Green is immaculately laid out and Crown Green similar aims as Lane Bowling but because it is normally played on a bowling Green round the back of a pub. The Green is not micrometer perfectly laid out and has a rising and falling non flat surface much like a crown as apposed to a circlet. The bowls are similarly biased but the Green itself has an effect on the rolling ball. Much like a golf course. You play on the Green that’s available, so more skill is involved but usually looked down upon by he other game players. My Dad played it every week in Summer while I was a child.

Beans on toast and grate some cheeese on top and pop it under the grill to melt the cheese. Then top with a squirt of HP sauce. Also do-able with tinned spaghetti.. I'd like to learn French

2 types of bowling: flat green, which you had in the photo; in the north it's crown green where the bowling green is like an upturned saucer. In a chip shop, you are also highly likely to get something called "non-brewed condiment" often referred to as chip-shop vinegar, which is diluted acetic acid with brown food dye. Looks like malt vinegar, but isn't. If it's in an unlabelled bottle, that's probably what it is.

@philcoogan7369 2 года назад

They will probably still ask if you want vinegar though, and the NBC is what you will get.

I'm thinking about taking pottery classes, just really want to make some ugly pottery, I usually finish your videos if I start them as I find the differences interesting, and your easy to listen to. Anyway Iv had my American cousins over to stay for a couple of weeks and now they have all gone back to Michigan addicted to extra mature cheddar cheese, they had fish and chips a lot as well while here, weird but my two English born cousins loved vinegar, pickled onions, they also had pie and mash, they loved baked beans too, my cousins wife who is American didn't take so well to all the typical English food. Though she loved scones and clotted cream and jam. Oh we also took them to Brick Lane for real Bagels. Honestly it was two weeks of eating.

Beans and sausages (Which come all together in the tin) on toast is a meal fit for any king or Queen!!! I love my food, and do go out for meals etc etc, Thai, Italian, Indian, Chinese and all that jazz... But when I sit down with a plate of beans on toast, well... I'm in heaven... I love that little meal me! :D hehehe

I like Branston baked beans. I eat beans with meat pie, with a full English breakfast, with sausage & chips. If I was to go on skill share I’d look for Egyptology classes. I love Egyptology & have been to Egypt & Egyptian exhibitions here in uk.

@robertjackson3552 2 года назад

a lot of fish and chip shops don't use vinegar anymore but a non-brewed condiment.

The knife and fork putting together after eating is such a trained response I do it even at home and there is nobody else there. Really interesting that it isn't a Universal thing. The cake thing (I love cake) was also fascinating. Never occurred to me that the US has more of a sloppy (my word) texture to cake. As for skills. Too old to learn but I would love to learn Japanese. Have in the last three years been drawn to the music and watch videos of walking round Cities in Japan. They have some nice cake there too.

@alanbicknell7696 2 года назад

I quite like the idea of learning sign language but don't know if I would have the patience.Not that I am hard of hearing(although the wife may not agree with that) but I do find it fascinating.

@trevorpowdrell5474 2 года назад

There is two different type of bowls dependent on the pitch. Flat green bowling and crown green bowling. Vegetarian Baked Beans is the closest in America you can get to British Baked Beans.

@thecraggrat 2 года назад

Yeah, American cake has a lot more moisture in it, generally something akin to Victoria sponge cake, but still softer/"wetter". Also the icing on American cakes if very soft/wet, like butter cream icing that UK cakes would have as the filling in a sandwich layer; so American cakes would essentially stick to a napkin and be sort of inedible/would fall apart. UK cakes are more robust, especially if we are talking fruit cake. Americans do not do rich fruit cake either with/without royal icing, the closest you'll typically see is Panettone.

Hi Kailyn, every time I watch your videos I think we Scots must be half American😂. I've never even heard of putting the knife and fork on the plate together, that sounds dangerously like proper etiquette🤣. I agree re the easy access to countryside, we're good at that and we value it. Sometimes it causes problems for landowners though, as not all recreational users are considerate. If you live in a smallish town or a village it's generally very easy to walk to countryside areas, at least it is up here. My sister and a friend of hers were on holiday, staying with the friends' relatives in a suburb of Chicago. They walked to the railway station every day - it was close by and the street was very quiet. A neighbour nearly called the police, because she thought they were 'casing the joint'😅. She loved the city though.
