American Reacts to 12 Weird Facts About British Culture 

Yorkshire pudding is not bread or pastry. It's batter and it's lovely, soaked in gravy.

Many houses were built long BEFORE washing machines, etc., were invented. So they have to be located where they can be hooked up to electrical and water services.

The royal family stays out of political, not groceries.

I am from a working class Yorkshire family and in the 80s and 90s it was completely common for them and their friends to just turn up at each other's houses unannounced and actually just let themselves in. I think it was more normal because they all lived near each other and until very recently (to that point) a lot of them didn't have phones at home to arrange in advance, so they just showed up.

Royal Warrants are granted to companies, not products.

I love how Tyler constantly speaks for "most Americans" when he's never been anywhere other than Indiana... 🤣

In Sweden we have something very similar to "the Royal Stamp of Approval". Here it is called Royal Court Supplier "Kunglig Hovleverantör" and can best be described as a kind of honor and is expected to testify to high quality. I think the other kingdoms in Scandinavia have it too.

Meals of day in the U.K. Breakfast: Self explanatory, first meal of the day breaking the fasting of the night. Elevenses: a break around 11am for a light snack and possibly a cup of tea etc. Lunch/Luncheon: a lighter meal usually taken early afternoon. Afternoon tea: tea with finger sandwiches, cakes etc. Tea: Is a light meal taken around teatime, early evening. Dinner: is a large meal usually the main meal of the day, this can be eaten in the evening or around the time you might have lunch. Supper: a light snack to have before bedtime to sustain you throughout the night.

Tea time is regional. Being from the North of England but living in the South I had to adjust. In the North we had breakfast in the morning, dinner time was the midday meal and tea time was evening meal. In the South, its breakfast, lunch and dinner instead and 'come for tea' would be around 4 pm for sandwiches, cake and tea or just cake and tea.

She's from Brazil, learned English as a second language, and now she sounds Welsh (south) to me!

1. Fortnight A fortnight is a unit of time equal to 14 days (two weeks). The word derives from the Old English term fēowertīene niht, meaning "fourteen nights" (or "fourteen days", since the Anglo-Saxons counted by nights). The classic use of fortnight is taking a break from work for a holiday e.g. 'I've booked a fortnight in Miami'. You may also hear it used in complaints about delivery schedules or waiting times for appointments etc. Fortnight is fairly common but there is also the obscure sennight meaning seven nights & days from Old English seofon nihta seven nights. 2. Pudding Pudding is a type of food. It can be either a dessert, served after the main meal, or a savoury (salty or spicy) dish, served as part of the main meal. In the United States, pudding means a sweet, milk-based dessert similar in consistency to egg-based custards, instant custards or a mousse, often commercially set using corn starch, gelatine or similar coagulating agent such as Jell-O. The modern American meaning of pudding as dessert has evolved from the original almost exclusive use of the term to describe savoury dishes, specifically those created using a process similar to that used for sausages, in which meat and other ingredients in mostly liquid form are encased and then steamed or boiled to set the contents. In the United Kingdom, Ireland and some Commonwealth countries, the word pudding is used to describe sweet and savoury dishes. Savoury puddings include Yorkshire pudding, black pudding, suet pudding and steak and kidney pudding. Unless qualified, however, pudding usually means dessert and in the United Kingdom, pudding is used as a synonym for dessert.[1] Puddings made for dessert can be boiled and steamed puddings, baked puddings, bread puddings, batter puddings, milk puddings or even jellies.[2] In some Commonwealth countries these puddings are known as custards (or curds) if they are egg-thickened, as blancmange if starch-thickened, and as jelly if gelatine-based. Pudding may also refer to other dishes such as bread pudding and rice pudding, although typically these names derive from their origin as British dishes. The word pudding is believed to come from the French boudin, which may derive from the Latin botellus, meaning "small sausage", referring to encased meats used in medieval European puddings. Another proposed etymology is from the West German 'pud' meaning 'to swell.

Yorkshire pudding is made with a pancake mix eaten mostly with beef

Tyler knows what Yorkshire Pudding is, he knows what black pudding is, and he knows what steak & kidney pudding is. He's seen enough videos covering all three types of food to know what the difference between all three is, and also that the term pudding can also just refer to dessert. But quite why Americans refer to Yorkshire pudding as a bread, or a pastry, when it's batter, I don't know. They pretty much live off pancakes, so they know what pancake batter is, but it seems that the concept of baking it in an oven with fat rather than frying it in a frying pan seems to blow their minds????!!!!

We tend to have our clothes baskets upstairs in the bathroom … the washing machine in the kitchen if you don’t have a utility room … and the benefit is you don’t need to lug wet washing downstairs if the weather is fine enough to peg it out in the garden .

Austria, Germany, Greece, Italy, Switzerland all have TV licences.

Dinner is the name for lunch in the north. A school midday break time was always called ‘dinner time’ and we had ‘dinner ladies’ who served the food.

I never understand why people from the US seem to think that we have dirty laundry lying around the kitchen. The dirty laundry sits in hampers in bedrooms, bathrooms or even in the hallway near the bedrooms. Where it is sorted and the load that is to be washed is then taken to the kitchen, put in the washing and the wash started. The dirty laundry is not hanging around in the kitchen for any real length of time.

Fortnight is usually used in conjunction with holidays, ie "I'm having a fortnight in Spain next week", or "it's only a fortnight till Christmas"

The TV licence lasts for one year. The money goes to the BBC to finance their programmes. In turn there are no advertising or sponsorship breaks.

I live in greater Manchester, Northern England. Early morning for me is breakfast. Dinner between 12 noon and 1pm. Tea is between 5pm and 6pm. If I'm feeling posh, i may have supper. I may even have a brunch.

Fortnight and fortnightly is used extensively in Australia. Rent is advertised for weekly but is often paid by the fortnight. We very rarely say two weeks.

Laundry: It’s mostly because our houses tend to be a lot smaller because we have less land space with a huge population relatively. We also tend to have limited outlets for waste water so it’s grouped with your kitchen sink outlet because there is definitely no room in your average bathroom

3 quarters of Europe have TV License Fees...Germany even have a separate license for Radio...

I think most Brits would love a dedicated laundry room - I certainly would - but our houses are generally old and small. The two groups of people who I know have a dedicated room for washing are my in-laws and my sister - both decided to build their own houses. My wife and I live in a small terraced house in London where there just isn't the space so use whatever little we have left, which is in the kitchen, under work surfaces and sink. Anywhere else is out of the question. Also, plumbing is much easier for older houses as most of it (excluding bathroom) is located there. And dude, we don't leave our dirty underwear just lying about in the kitchen: that's what bedroom floors are for (unless you're posh and have laundry bins)! When we do the washing, we quickly do a circuit of the house and pick it all up to immediately stick it in the washing machine.

Kitchens always have at least one wall that has pipes in it, making it easy to fit a washing machine. They often have easy access to the back garden, which is a convenient place to hang clean clothes up to dry. They're almost never carpeted, so if a bit of water drips, it won't ruin the carpet. Kitchen work surfaces are basically the perfect height to fit a front-loading washing machine underneath them. My house has a utility room, but we still fitted the washing machine in the kitchen because it's convenient.

In England, dinner is usually a hot meal. Sandwiches or something on toast is usually classed as lunch or tea so people who have a hot meal around noon will call that dinner time and if they have something light like sandwiches about 5pm they will call that tea time. However, if they have their cooked meal at night they will call that dinner time and have something light around noon they will call that lunch time. A cross between breakfast and lunch is brunch. Elevensies is basically a mid morning snack. Afternoon tea is usually a special occasion thing around 3 or 4 in the afternoon and is a selection of sandwiches, cakes, scones with jam and cream, macaroons, cream cakes with a cup of tea or coffee served in a tea pot or coffee pot, this is thought of as quite pool lol. Tea time is not when the English drink tea. We drink tea at any time of day or night, whenever we fancy it. Personally I drink about 5 cups of tea or coffee a day, whichever I feel like at the time, one with breakfast, one with lunch/ dinner, one in the afternoon, one with dinner/ tea and one at night. Hope that’s not too confusing 😂😂😂

The BBC doesn't run advertisements, so it needs funding in other ways. It broadcasts 8 national TV channels, 7 regional TV channels (plus funding the Welsh language channel) and abut 40 local radio stations. Yep, we use "fortnight" quite commonly. Over here in the UK (where we actually get vacations), their duration is often a fortnight. So something like "Yay! I'm off to France for a fortnight" is pretty common parlance. It's (obviously) a contraction of "fourteen nights". Its' root is in Anglo-Saxon times, when we had a more pagan perspective, so it was significant as the halfway point in the lunar cycle. Most of our houses were built long before washing machines were even invented, so a space for them wasn't considered. Newly built larger houses have a utility room, but many of us prefer our modest 19th century houses, despite their minor inconveniences. I don't know about uninvited visitors. Personally, I almost never invite friends (unless it's for dinner) - they know I have an "open house", i.e. when they pop in unannounced, they're welcome. (And if I'm not in, they know they'll almost certainly find me in the pub down the road!) I think "tea time" is a working class thing. I can vaguely remember my mum shouting "Come and get you tea!" (meaning dinner). Most people these days call the evening meal "dinner(time)" - and I've never heard someone call lunch, "dinner".

As an english person, to me, breakfast is breakfast, the meal in the middle of the day is lunch or dinner, usually lunch refers to a lighter meal, and dinner refers to a bigger meal, but it can be either way. And this is lunchtime or dinner time. The evening meal is tea or dinner, and is called tea time and dinner time. I personally don't drink tea, but everyone that I know who does drink tea usually asks if people want a cuppa or a drink if they are making tea or other drinks, because it's quite common for people to dislike tea, or prefer to have coffee

Many houses in the UK were built prior to washing machines. During the industrial revolution that started in the UK in the early 1800 millions of house were built by the business owners for his workers. These were terraced houses and often would be home to mum, dad and at least 5 to 11 children. Often the washing would be done in a steel bath, that’s clothes washing as well and personal washing . When washing machines were invented in the UK starting with the Twin tub they had to fit them somewhere close to the water supply and waste outlet. Even today, with modern houses, anyone with a dedicated washing machine room are regarded as “posh” and “rich” which is not strictly true. Both my adult children have just managed to purchase their own homes in a cheap area not far from us. They are both terraced houses and one costs £450 and the other £375. The later is a house built in 1890 and the other in 2022 but neither have dedicated wash rooms. So, everything we do in the UK, homes, roads, parking is impact by our side. The UK after Holland is one of the most densely populated countries in Europe and the 22nd most populated in the World and we have 720 people per square mile where in American it’s just 96 people so this as a huge impact on space and cost

I love how Tyler asks us to comment, but it's well established that he never reads the comments

4:08 only the monarch and their heir can issue these, it's not just anyone in the Royals. They are supposed to be politically impartial but can still have favourite brands of jam or cereal or whatever. The British public is under no obligation to buy a particular product just because there's a Royal Warrant on it, and most of us would not buy anything solely on that basis.

Breakfast, lunch, dinner and supper with snacks in between. I'm a tea-aholic. Love my cuppas. I wouldn't call my lunch my tea. Dinner time is 5pm because that's what time we had it as kids. Some people have dinner around 7pm, others have it at 3 or 4pm. Yorkshire pudding is something you have with a roast dinner and gravy. Not American gravy but British gravy. 😂 We have them with mashed potatoes, etc. We dip them in our gravy and put some potatoes in it. They're delicious.

The names of the crossings are from acronyms. Puffin is Pedestrian User Friendly crossing (it uses sensors to detect if someone is still using it, and will keep the traffic lights on red until pedestrians have crossed) Pelican is Pedestrian Light Controlled crossing (one the button is pressed the traffic is stopped for around 20 seconds, then a flashing amber light lets traffic proceed again) Toucan is where cyclists can cycle across alongside pedestrians (two can cross) Zebra is black and white. Equestrian crossing is for horse riders...their control box is around 4ft off the ground.

Tea time depends on the part of the UK and time of day. My grand parents basically had an open door policy to visitors and no matter what time of the day you'd get a cup of tea and something to eat. The marked times were breakfast, morning tea (11ies), dinner time ~ 1pm, afternoon tea (3-4pm), tea time (a sit down meal ~ 6pm) evening tea about 8-9pm and supper before bed! My grandmother baked every morning for a range of breads (wheaten, soda, crusty) scones and buns which were eaten through out the day.

What you're referring to would be called afternoon tea. That's when you would have just tea, with perhaps some biscuits or a piece of cake. But tea time refers to your evening meal. But tea is drunk any time of the day, breakfast, lunch time, dinner time and any time in between.

Actually you can put jam in a Yorkshire Pud, AMAZING 🤤

We have a similar system to the royal warrants here in Sweden, you can be named “Kunglig Hovleverantör” lit. Royal Court supplier.

Also side note, usually you would have a washing machine in the kitchen but larger houses, or suburban areas, its common to have a utility room

In my house we have Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner times but it depends where you are from in the UK. You are thinking of cream tea or Afternoon tea, thats basically tea and scones for posh people or tourists.

Having a washing machine in the kitchen makes sense because that's where the water supply and waste plumbing is. In Europe i have also seen them in the bathroom, which also makes sense. Paying a TV licence is like having PBS in the USA but without the regular fundraising that PBS needs (or did when i lived there),, no adds on the BBC means i can avoid commercial channels completely,, its fabulous !

Breakfast, dinner, and tea sometimes for some people. Breakfast, lunch and dinner for formal occasions!

Teatime where I am (Lake District; Northern England) most definitely means the main meal of the day and have always asked the lady of the house “what’s for tea” meaning to ask what will be for dinner… no “tea” involved

The midday meal is called Lunch - but if it’s your main meal of the day, it’s also your Dinner! The late afternoon meal - when you come home after school or work - is called your Tea - eaten at “teatime”. If, however, THAT is your main meal of the day, it’s also called Dinner. I know this is confusing to Americans - but we grew up with this terminology.

the washing machine in the kitchen is a thing left over from the size of houses, as she says. Not many houses have a utility room. and many houses were built before washing machines even existed. Once the washing machines were introduced, you would put it where you had a water outlet or were able to connect the new appliance to an already existing water outet and drain with minimal effort. Hence the kitchen or bathroom. A friend of mine lived in an old building once, in which, yes, the shower! was attached to the kitchen. It as an old building from pre-1900 and that is just were they once converted a little pantry in the kitchen‘s corner into a shower… The bathroom only had room for a tub, so they would have the choice of tub or shower but not both had they not found this solution once showers became fashionable. History and historic buildings…

Only an idiot would drive 20 miles to visit a friend without pre-arrangement. They might not be at home.

the royal seal of approval is interesting. In Germany, we have some old companies that have royal seals of approval (such as königlich bayrische Manufaktur oder preußischer Hoflieferant) that imply that these are traditional companies that used to deliver to a royal court and it implies that they have not changed recipes since etc. as a sort of seal of approval and traditional craft… TV licences make PBS drive weeks superfluous… Everyone contributes to publicly funded networks and that way, keeps them from overly relying on sponsors and thus manipulation by industries.

I never have been influenced to buy a brand because it has a warrant

The Royal Warrant is for the supply of goods to the relevant household, not the individual member of the Royal family. The TV Licence funds the BBC. You need a licence to watch iPlayer or even if you just possess a TV capable of receiving terrestrial TV signals. You need two licences if you have two homes. The reason washing machines are in the kitchen is that they always have been there, and washing clothes took place in the kitchen before machines became commonplace. It was likely to be the only room with a water supply, at least downstairs. Standard houses do not have basements or utility rooms. Early washing machines were not automatic: they needed filling from, and drained into, the kitchen sink, so, obviously, they were stored in the kitchen when not in use. When automatics came in in the 1960s, it made sense to plumb them in where the old machine had been stored.

i think roayal approval came in to establish food standards back in the days when there was no body to look over food standards and has just stuck around

She's clearly been living in the North of England. In the North breakfast means breakfast, dinner means lunch, tea means dinner, supper means supper.

The licence was fair when the UK had only two channels decades ago. One was funded by advertising and the BBC needed funds to produce programs without using ads. This is now an outdated concept as we have so many subscription channels. There are many who do not believe the BBC is impartial and would prefer it to be a subscription channel. Teatime often means 'dinner' - more usually in the north of England and is a meal in the evening. Teatime is not to be confused with taking a break for a cup of tea, that would be called a tea break.

In Australia we eat breakfast, lunch and Tea. Dinner usually applies to the dish of food. Pedestrian crossings are commonly called Zebra Crossings. It is common to pay your mortgage fortnightly as many people are paid fortnightly. So the word is commonly used.

The Royal Warrant on products is simply to show that the king, or whatever other member of the Royal Family, likes this product so much that they place a regular order on it and have done so for at least the past five years - earning the manufacturer the right to print the “by appointment” coat of arms on their label. All that does really is show the general public that this is a good enough quality product that royalty buys regularly - so it’s a kind of extra sign that it’s a quality item.

Breakfast then dinner time then teatime . If you're having afternoon tea that's a cup of tea with maybe sandwiches and cakes . And you can eat Yorkshire pudding with jam as well as with your Sunday dinner

So traditionally back in older times, you had breakfast 6-8am, lunch midday, tea time 3-4pm , dinner 7-8pm and supper 10pm+, but in modern times most just have 3 meals, so the words have changed meanings a bit. Dinner is usually used for the largest meal of your day, so you can have a dinner at lunchtime, so then you'd use tea time/supper to refer to your evening meal instead of dinner. I think in modern times tea break is what your thinking of where we stop to have a cuppa, though that can be at the traditional afternoon tea time or anytime in your day.

Upper class people have breakfast around 7am, lunch 12pm, afternoon tea around 330pm, dinner at 7pm and supper at 10 pm Working class have breakfast. Dinner is classed as lunch and having tea at 5pm as your main meal in the evening The posh eat all day in small portions but working class eat 3 main meals Road crossings are Pelican crossings The pelican was initially introduced on UK highways in 1969 as a Pelican crossing (a blended abbreviation of PEdestrian LIght CONtrolled). It has traffic signals for drivers and pedestrians, as well as a push-button on either side of the road. The crossing is 2.8 meters wide by default. Pedestrians touch a button on the side of the crossing, and the traffic lights change from green to red after a short time, signaling drivers to come to a complete stop. Zebra crossings A zebra crossing, which resembles a zebra’s coat, is a pedestrian crossing that allows people to pass without the need for traffic signals Toucan crossings A toucan crossing is built for both walkers and bikes and is named for the fact that two may cross (and the Department of Transportation is creative). These are typically located along bike paths, and unlike other pedestrian crossings, mounted riders are permitted to use them Yorkshire pudding is made of pancake batter with no sugar Not a dessert. It's also known as toad in the hole which is sausage in batter Television licence is a tax to pay for the use of transmission and making of programmes

We have NO pkug sockets in our bathrooms.. Can't plug a washing machine in in there

16:57 Once you've done your driving test, they all get called zebra crossings or cross "at the lights."

Take an Orange segment, bite it into half & break up the inside of the segment (Orange juice segments are called Carpels), you can see small sacks of juice (called juice follicles), these are actually the cells of an orange! It's these that are in *Orange juice with bits* not really what I call pith. It's delicious with bits! Puddings are all sorts of foods, usually wrapped up in something else, hence Black pudding, Yorkshire pudding, etc. But saying just pudding, such as "Do you want your pudding" means a sweet pudding of all and any sort! A Pie usually has crust on top, sometimes the crust surrounds the pie as well.

To have a Royal Warrant was great advertising "hey look at my product, its so good even the Royals use it". They tend to go to British products/companies. Your TV licence is to ensure that everyone has access to quality TV and the news, its worth it just for the natural history shows alone, BBC has no adverts. All your pumbing used to be downstairs, near the kitchen and Brits tend to hang out their washing to dry and accessing the back garden tends to be via the kitchen so it makes sense to put it there. Breakfast, brunch, lunch, afternoon tea, tea, dinner, supper and all happen at different times. If it doesn't say anything in front of it pudding is your dessert regardless of what you're having, if it says black, yorkshire etc before its definitely not dessert

You can give up on meal times' names , Tyler. I married into an English family. We call our mid-day meal "lunch" and it's usually a light meal, like a sandwich or salad or soup. We often have a cup of tea when we get home from work, but we don't call it "teatime". We don't make special cakes or sandwiches to eat with it, maybe some biscuits (cookies).Then at about 6-7 we have the main meal, which we call "dinner". It is something properly cooked. Then right before going to bed, if you are hungry you have "supper", something like toast, often with a cup of tea. But depending on the area where you live, and on the "class" you belong to or you THINK you belong to or the class you would LIKE to belong to, it could be all different. Some people have a cooked mid-day meal (like meat and potatoes) and call it "dinner", and they call their evening (often lighter) meal "tea". They do usually serve tea with it. Some posh people call their dinner supper (main meal, cooked) and they eat it later than 6. So between their light lunch and late supper, they will get hungry, and might have "tea", or "high tea", which includes sandwiches, tea cakes - and they all sit down to have it. You don't usually have this if both of you work. If you go to a public (free) hospital, you get offered tea 5 times a day. With your three meals, before you go to bed, and in the afternoon, you can ask for a slice of cake to go with it (the day before). That is "teatime". In a private hospital, you can have tea any time, and so can your visitors. Schools usually call midday meals "dinner". But you can bring a "packed lunch" (cold). Or if it's a posh school, then dinner will be called lunch. Everytime I say "tea" as a drink, you can almost always have coffee instead. But you don't call teatime "coffee time". So I wouldn't bother to understand it if I were you. If you accidentally find yourself living in England, listen to what people around you call what, and use that word. I've heard of an American mother living in England, who got a note from school to send "a cold tea" with the child, as there will be an afternoon performance or something. They meant "a cold evening meal", ie sandwiches. But she thought she would have to make the drink and send it in cold. It's a very complicated society. For its size.

The washing machine in the kitchen is because pre ww1 a lot of british homes didn't have full indoor plumbing. You had the toilets outside and washed by the fire in a tinbath. eventually, the bathrooms came in side, but it was just off of the kitchen, so all the plumbing was downstairs, so it made sense to have the washing machine in the kitchen . My family home growing up was built in 1932 so even in the early 80s we had a downstairs bathroom and we washed our clothes in a twin tub washer, that you had to connect to the taps in the sink and put the outlet hose down the drain to let out waste water and you washed in one part and spun the water out in the second part. Then, when you have done with it, you put it away in the cupboard under the stairs. Due to the old infrastructure of plumbing and drainage in the uk the newer builds tend to have similar plumbing but most bathrooms are upstairs ,some have mud rooms with washers and dryers and then they have a extra toilet down stairs, some times in the cupboard under the stairs.

We get it Tyler. You won't ever use the word fortnight because you never go on holiday for a fortnight! Keep up the good work!

If we go on a holiday out of the country I think the most common period spent away is probably a fortnight, though of course we also go away for a week or a long weekend which is usually Friday to Monday in case you don't have that either. The crossings she mist are puffin and pegasus crossings. The differences the basic Zebra Crossings has striped markings in the road and flashing orange lights. Pelican Crossings have traffic lights and a button for pedestrians to signal they want to cross and then wait for the green light before crossing. Puffin Crossings are similar to Pelican Crossings but are more intelligent and use sensors to determine when pedestrians have finished crossing - often located near elderly homes. Toucan Crossings incorporate cycle crossings as well. Pegasus Crossings incorporate equestrian (horse) crossings and have buttons to signals you want to cross at normal pedestrian height and also a little higher for those on horseback.

The other day I had a sunny day and my daughter who lives by Liverpool had hailstones .

I used to work in engineering factories in UK. A lot of these would agree to close down for 2 weeks in the summer. This meant that family members could all have time off together. There would also be coach trips to the coast and other tourism destinations available for those dates. That was called the holiday fortnight.

You won't be allowed to forget about the TV licence. Don't worry about it.

Houses on average tend to be smaller in the UK and, therefore, there isn't space for a dedicated laundry room. Washing machines need to be plumbed into a water supply and drains, which already exist in a kitchen, hence washing machines in the kitchen. In much of the rest of Europe, washing machines tend to be in bathrooms, but in the UK, we are a bit nervous about having electrical appliances in a bathroom. For example, you won't find any plug sockets in a bathroom (except a low voltage shaver socket), which is different to the US.

I use the same batter for pancakes and Yorkshire puddings. The only difference is pancakes are fried and paired with a sweet topping whereas Yorkshire puddings are oven baked in a metal tray specificly for them and you put it on a plate with meat potatoes and veg and cover in gravy.

The TV license generates income for the BBC (TV, radio and online platforms) so there are no advertisements or extra product placements. You can watch a film without ads.

Pelican Crossing is named from "Pedestrian Light Controlled Crossing".

I live in Scotland and my parents came from the Glasgow area and tea time was at 5pm and the table was set with a knife and fork a side plate and a cup and saucer or mug. We were given a hot meal and the we had a pot of tea on the table, also a plate of bread , a plate of fruit loaf and a plate of chocolate biscuits. We could help ourselves to these. Also on the table would be milk and sugar for your cup of tea, butter and different types of jams and perhaps lemon curd. However if we were having people over we would have dinner and that was around 7pm. ❤️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

EDIT!! I’ve done the digging. Look at my other comment! --- Bru, I swear you reacted to almost everything on this list, just in separate “Brit culture” videos…. Imma do some digging.

I am Filipino living here in Wales,UK.. Tea time is Dinner time or Evening meal😂 There is a snack or mostly especially rich-middle class have Afternoon tea. Here in Wales, they use Dinner as Lunch as well . So confusing. But it is what it is.

How and when to eat in England lol. Breakfast... First meal of the day. Brunch... Morning drink/snack around 11am (also called elevenses). Dinner/lunch midday meal, Hot meal would be dinner a cold meal would be lunch. Afternoon Tea... Generally between 2pm and 3pm small snacks i.e. drinks/cakes/sandwich's. Tea... Evening meal around 6pm-7pm normally the main meal of the day and would generally be a "family" meal. Supper... late evening snack around 9pm (most people have tea/biscuits, cereals, or toast.

Been watching your content for a while and just noticed I wasn't subscribed! strange, I always thought I was your videos always show up in my feed, anyway that's now sorted. Keep up the great reactions 👍

The TV licence allows people to watch programs without ad breaks. This allows the development of a long attention span, whereas people recognise that the majority of people consider that Americans have a TV induced attention span of a fly. The lady is from Brazil but has developed a Welsh accent when speaking English. Worth watching her videos on her reaction to the Welsh language and culture. There is also such videos from a lady that moved to Wales from Canada.

you can have more than 4 seasons in a day in scotland, we can have sunshine, then cloudy depresing humid heat, then freezing cold gale force winds, rain, then sleat, then snow, back to gales, then sunshine again, and its only 1pm.

It once snowed in June in Oxford.

Without bits in orange juice is called smooth. We take the crosswalk names seriously because it affects the traffic flow and pedestrian safety

Yeah,they do that with chocolate here in Denmark. I think all the scandi royals have the same seal. Marcipan from Anton Berg seemed to get it first. Toms came early too..

Zebra Crossing comes from the black and white stripes over the road. Pelican Crossing is derived from PEdestrian LIght Controlled (PELIC). There are Traffic Lights to stop traffic that only work after a button on the pavement (side walk) next to them is pushed. That way the traffic is only halted when the crossing is needed. Toucan Crossing comes from "Two can". The two in question being pedestrians and bicycles, the latter of which can be ridden across as against only pushed whilst dismounted.

Yorkshire pudding is a light crisp batter. Flour, egg, milk with a pinch of salt. This is cooked in the fat from the roast meat. Roast Beef with Yorkshire pudding is the essential Sunday Lunch Time Dinner. I cannot imagine eating roast beef without the crisp savoury flavour of Yorkshire pudding. When I was a little lad in the 1950s my mother would make a single massive Yorkshire Pudding and serve it with gravy as a starter. Meat was still in short supply after the war and so with the Yorkshire starter, we were full before the meat was served.

TEA TIME meaning Dinner is typical speech in 🇦🇺 too. We know which is which. Four Seasons in One Day is the Melbourne Motto! We also use the word fortnight or fortnightly in normal conversation. See you in a fortnight! 😂🇦🇺And Zebra crossings!

I wish I had £1 for every time Tyler has heard about the TV license. He reminds me of a goldfish I once owned.

Reference the food time terms, here in the Uk it depends on where you are from or your level of class as to what you call meal times. T time was always evening meal time for most, however the posh or well to do families called it dinner or supper. Also we called lunch dinner time too, there is also a term ‘high tea’ which is practiced by the upper classes, it takes place around 4pm and is usually tea and toast or cake, it is there to tie you over til dinner time (around 7:45pm). So a lot of terminology changes depending on where you are from and your class level.

TV license is no more unusual than a fishing permit.

I love your shows, it's so funny, didn't realise how different we are, even though I've been to America many times!! We have a lot of very old stuff, Royal stuff etc here in the UK,

growing up in Scotland, the main meals of the day were breakfast, dinner, tea, and supper where dinner was common name for lunchtime meal, tea was common name for evening meal (the main meal of the day), and supper was a late evening light snack before bed

Not the f%£&ing yorkshire pudding again!

Dinner can also be lunch, 'tea' is usually eaten in the evening but depending what area of UK you come from it can also be dinner or supper! In olden times 'supper' was eaten early evening & dinner was eaten late evening. Afternoon tea is usually 3 to 4pm & is usually the drink tea & either small sandwiches or pastries & cake.

She's wrong - dinner is a meal that you can have at lunchtime, which is middle of the day, or at tea time, which is early evening. You can also have a late night dinner which will be late evening. Dinner can be used interchangeably with lunch or tea.

The washing machine in the kitchen is a 2 fold thing. 1st the space for rooms is part of it. but the main reason is the water pipes, the kitchen has the mains for hot and cold water installed there ready as well as drainage, so the washing machine joins into the mains water connections and drainage systems of the kitchen and saves on extra rooms needing all of that system pipework, etc. as for the fortnight thing, mostly used for wages pay period, weekly fortnightly monthly etc. and is commonly used instead of 2 weeks or bi-weekly. American pudding is more a kind of moose or custard-like substance, in the UK pudding is a kind of catch-all word for a lot of different desserts but Yorkie puds are so good and not dessert.

The TV licence is something that the BBC charges to pay for the programmes that they make because they don't have adverts interrupting the programmes.

Yorkshire Puddings with gravy OMG its amazing

Pelicon crossing. PE-destrian LI-ght CON-trolled crossing. It's not hard to understand.

Yorkshire puddinds are made using an unsweetened batter mix, and are usually baked in the oven, with a little bit of either beef dripping, lard or oil, ehich has been heated up first before adding the batter

Does a royal warrant influence buyers? No!

I moved to the UK from Iceland about 7 years ago and I never forget the first time a Brit asked me; "So what did you have for tea last night?" I honestly had no clue what that person was talking about. It had to be explained to me that she was asking me what I had for dinner.

Yep, fortnight is used just like you said, though another thing is that we’d say: come and visit, rather than come visit! She’s also confused the use of dinner. Up north, dinner is for your midday meal and tea is your evening meal, whereas in the south, lunch is your midday meal and dinner is your evening meal. It is regional. Dinner is not any food or meal. It’s either lunch or an evening meal depending if you’re northern or southern.
