Nice to see American tourists seeing real England, rather than the distorted view of England that London gives. Regards JB.

@merlinmediagroup 5 лет назад

I hate this idea that somehow London isn't "real" England. Such nonsense. There are millions upon millions of working class people who live in London you know. There's no need to denigrate London to bring attention to other parts of the UK.

@jim-bob-outdoors 5 лет назад

@@merlinmediagroup You misunderstand. I have no issue with London. England is such an expensive place to visit, a lot of tourists from the USA etc, just do a few days in London as part of a European tour. They miss out on so much. Welsh valleys, Peak District etc. London is great for tourists but life exists outside the M25.

The reason why waiters in the UK don't go to your table straight away is to give you time to get comfortable and a chance to look at the menu in peace. I've been a few places where waiters near enough pounced on me seconds after I entered, which I don't like that much. It's like I'm being made to rush.

Well done to you both for venturing away from the usual "tourist trail" of London, Bath, Oxford, Stonehenge and Stratford etc. This has enabled you to get much more of a sense of what the "real" England is about.

A good way to sum up the difference between the UK and the US is this. Over here, we think that 100 miles is a long way whereas, in the US, you think that 100 years is a long time.

So many of the Tudor style houses are a bit warped because they were built with unseasoned green oak. The builders knew they would move about. The wattle-and-daub would move with the timber, and would easily be repaired if it cracked too much. The first (second in USA) floor hangs over the street because they 'jettied' the floor to gain more upstairs space. 'Jettying, from the French 'jetter'- to throw.

I can't imagine going on a pub crawl and not sampling a beer or two, it's part of the culture (P.S. we drink it cold, dunno where the "warm beer" thing comes from, unless it's from GI's during the war when everything was scarce). Anyhow, glad you're enjoying your stay. Julia, not sure where your comment has gone, but most pubs now use flash coolers to chill the beer down. It's pumped from the cellar through the cooler to lower it to fridge temperatures. I think real ales might be served at cellar temperature, but some of the cellars are chilled too. It's never "warm" - yuch!

About the alcohol in the tea room, some tea rooms and cafes in the day, re open in the evenings as a bar, perhaps with some music. Also during the day time, if having a light lunch, many people like to have a glass of wine too, That tea room and cafe might also cater and be booked for private functions, birthdays, weddings, Christmas parties, so serving alcohol and having a bar would be expected.

You guys should go somewhere like Newcastle and Durham in the Northeast, and to Tynemouth on the coast, or Alnmouth.. Lindisfarne in the Northeast is a very special place if you want to see a religious island. Be aware if you do go its only accessible at low tide across the causeway.. Durham Cathedral is stunning too..outside Newcastle in a village called Wylam where I used to live is Stephensons cottage (he built the first rail locomotive, The Rocket.. Also there is the original bridge (very small and can be walked over by the river) that both the Tyne bridge and Sydney Harbour Bridge are modelled on.. 🤣😂🤣 The Clangers is a great name for Bell ringers.. Actually the Clangers was a children's programme many years ago with little mice people who lived on the moon with the soup dragon.. Might be some old footage on RU-vid..

I noticed the oldest house was called Cruck House. This is probably after the type of wooden frame construction it has. A cruck frame is a curved piece of wood which is put together with another to make a pointed arch shape. It goes from the ground to the point of the roof. I suspect your bell ringing group use the term "The Clangers" as a play on the children's TV programme of the same name. Hallways are always indoors, so we would (most commonly, although there are local terms all over the country) call it an alleyway.

@@WanderingRavens In the UK the Highway Code says that pedestrians generally have the right of way over motorised traffic because the pedestrians were here long before motorised traffic, although most motorists will argue this point. There are obviously places where nobody in their right mind would attempt to cross the road! Regarding pubs and drinking, there are obviously plenty of people who overdo it and get drunk, but that is by no means the majority, two or three pints of session beer ( beer lower than 4% alchohol (by volume)) won't do any body any harm. But steer clear of lagers , they are usually quite strong and are always served ice cold, real ale on the other hand is always served at cellar temperature and there are many different brews to choose from, some better than others!

The other type is what we call a Cathedral City. Regardless of its size or how many inhabitants it has, if it has a Cathedral it becomes a city.

Sterotype English gent with bowler had and pinstripe suit is rare, probably only a few of them in London. Things of the past like the stiff upper lip thing. Out of the big cities most folks are friendly. 7] Rare to see one of those old red phone boxes, not many left now as most have mobiles. 8] service in the UK can be slow, not as good as US 9] Rum or alcohol with coffee is not unusual, I think they call it an Irish Coffee.
