American Reacts To A UK Home IN REAL LIFE | UK 2024 Vlog Day 9 

A new unwritten rule, never fiddle with another persons' radiator nob. Decisions were made with that nob.

11:43 - It's chicken served in a bun (roll, bap, cob, etc.), therefore it's a chicken burger - end of. Chicken sandwiches are chicken served between two slices of bread. You're in the UK now and those are the rules here.

Uk food is way better . Its not artificial crap 😅

If it's in a bun it's a burger, if it's in slices of bread it's a sandwich 😉

The reason your burgers were not spicy is so you can taste whatever you are eating i.e chicken or beef. In the States they add spices to mask the taste of the chlorine in the chicken or growth agents in the beef.

A yard is a plot of land that has no vegetation planted on it, that garden you are in has grass and trees and bushes hence the name garden.

The dogs singing along to Gimme Shelter was fantastic! 😅

That knob you was turning on the radiator is called a thermostat, which regulates the temperature.

A lot of people do have a different room for a washer and dryer. We call it a utility room.

That house doesn’t have a tumble dryer, not all British houses don’t have tumble dryers, I have a tumble dryer and a washing machine and a dishwasher in my kitchen and my kitchen is smaller than that one they probably just chose to have more cupboard space instead. Again all showers are different it’s down to personal choice. Also we invented the sandwich it’s not a sandwich.

Lol my Alexa just started playing Rolling Stones 😅😅😅

You did well to understand that geordie accent.

Its great to see you finally getting some time to relax with friends! Enjoy.

Grass is a plant. We only call it a yard if it's paved.

Loving this blog. Said it on one of your earlier vids, but you are having the most authentic time. Doing the UK 'your way' is far more interesting than the overly produced, look at me by a red telephone box and getting on a bus vids most travellers put out. MAXIMUM RESPECT.

As an OG UK MAN id like to welcome you to our shores, your videos are both informative but also a little funny and sketchy too (glasgow for instance) . Thank you for coming and being such an amazing vivstor

Really glad you took a break to catch your breath and rest your feet. You can't enjoy a trip if you're too tired. Our plug points are universally agreed to be the safest in the world. Central heating is run off a central boiler. Each radiator then has its own thermostat so you can regulate the temperature room to room. Very much enjoying these vlogs as you are visiting things that most overseas visitors don't visit. Next time, you must do York. You'll love it.

Don't mess with that Stella, you'll be fighting you're host's 🤣🤣

Most homes have dryers but people tend to not use them in summer. Very expensive on the electric so most people hang them out. Many people have a washer/dryer combo too

You look grand without a hair tie man. Really enjoying this series/interlude. Looking forward to your visit here. Mind yourself!

You're putting a shift in whilst over here Spencer , well done my son ! Enjoying all of these videos.

British palette 😂 , try a brit vindaloo or phal, that'll put hairs on your chest 😅

Only reason the washing machine is in the kitchen; that's where the water pipes and drainage is.

I always love your 'morning after the night before' look Spence 🤣

A lot does depend house to house, most houses would have tumble dryers, just depends on the size of the house. Some washing machines actually do both nowdays. As for cupboard designs...all down to choice, most houses don't have cupboards like that. Showers, again down to choice, I hate the showers without the removable head

The term back yard is definitely used when a property has a very small or tiny rear area outside the back door, usually associated with Victorian/Edwardian era houses, including a back gate for access with bicycles and coal delivery.

Good friend taking you dogging 😂

You guys would have seen Sarah Millican on Big Fat Quiz reactions - she is from South Shields.

A fair few houses in the UK have a 'Utility Room' which contains the washing machine, tumble dryer, sink, and in our case the downstairs toilet too, but where space is more of a premium yeah kitchen is the usual spot for washing machine. If you ask for a chicken sandwich in the UK you'll get chicken in 2 pieces of sliced bread.....

Good to see you enjoy Whitely Bay, Cullercoats, Tynemouth and the Fish Quay, not enough US visitors get to experience the North East....and you were only two minutes away from my home when in the Wallsend club!

Your hosts have a lovely Northeastern accent. It is generally reckoned not to be an easy accent to follow. Did you realise that Wallsend is literally tne end of Hadrian's Wall, built 122 AD? Much of the eastern end is buried under Newcastle-upon-Tyne. (By the way, you should sometimes say 'Newcastle-upon-Tyne'. This is because there's a fair-sized town (city?) further south, in Staffordshire, whuch is called Newcastle-under-Lyme.

At the start of your vid when you asked Alexa to play that song my Alexa sprung into action & played your song also lol

Biggest culture shock....a bloody plug 😂 Top lad! Hope you enjoyed your stay

I’d say that in general, burger is used in the UK to define the style and presentation. If you were to request a chicken sandwich in the UK you’d likely receive some form of cooked chicken (most probably slices or chunks of roast chicken) between two slices of bread along with whatever else you have requested or is noted as the filling and with a little salad and maybe some crisps on the side, where a chicken burger, you know it’s likely to be either breaded or battered, more often than not one large piece served in a burger bun with established condiments and or toppings, the side will almost always be some type of chips, fries or wedges too. Oh and dryers are purely about personal preference in the UK. I live on my own and don’t really feel that I have a great need for one but pretty much everyone else in my family has one. To be honest though, if both the temperature and wind strength are in that sweet spot (which happens more than you’d think here), it doesn’t take that much longer to dry things outside on the washing line than it does to tumble dry them. Which is better for both the environment and your clothes etc…it also eliminates that chance of shrinking woollens by having them in the dryer for too long on too high a temperature…though it can increase the chances of stretching them if you don’t hang them right.

we often have a drink in the lowlights my son and daughter in law live there, been watching you and daniels channel for long time, cant beleive you have actually come to where i live hope you have a nice time sorry about the weather not so good at the moment,

Stella and dogs seems like a good place to stay

You set off my ALexa !!! It started playing that song.

I live in South Shields , it’s nice to see people visiting our region of the uk instead of the usual places

if you wanted A spicy chilli taste you should have ask for a Chilli burger, or you can get a plain burger and spice it up with separate sauce and seasoning yourself. The sandwich was hot slices of roast beef slapped between two slices of bread. and taken as a snack originally created in 1762 by John Montagu, the 4th Earl of Sandwich.

I’m glad you had people to hang with and locals as well. Good to see Spencer!

Good lad kept my face out of it😂😂

Aww wee love ya too big fella. Hope ye enjoy the rest of yer time here mate. Thoroughly enjoying the vlogs! Take care if that liver now, its gonnae end up like a burst slipper if you keep hardcore boozing 😂. Aw the best!

Spencers well goin back checking that dogging spot later😂

12:57 That moment when you've been away from your guitar for what seems like an eternity, then someone lets you borrow theirs. 🎸🎶🥰😊 bliss 😅

We all wondered what happened to Michael from The Linton Travel Tavern.

When you asked Alexa to play 'Give me shelter ' by the Rolling Stones.. My Alexa suddenly piped up 'Playing Give me shelter by the Rolling Stones and shuffling similar songs!

Good to see you’re enjoying your trip Spencer!

It's mad that me and my partner have followed your channel for years and you turn up in our home town thousands of miles away.

The off-shore winders. The UK owns the four largest win farms anywhere in the world, and six of the top ten largest. It provides for about 27% of the country’s power needs.

I'm glad you've gone to somewhere there isn't just London. I hope you enjoy your stay.

Great video! I hope you enjoyed your trip 🇳🇿

😂living the life. So glad you got to relax and be in an english home with such hospitality❤ Is hard to relax properly when on feet all day n staying in a hostel. Lols the dogs singing! Great vlog

Spencer you finally look rested my friend. Was starting to worry ha ha. Glad you enjoyed the north east, i live close to the yorkshire dales but love the coastline over towards Whitby, a bit further down. Safe travels.😁 loving the vlogs btw

I loved how much fun you were having in the hot tub 😆

Yours round my neck of the woods! Walked my dog on whitley bay beach this morning.

No way, you drove past my street. So crazy that you were in such a random area. Hope you had a great time, Tynemouth is beautiful.

You gotta try some Newcastle Brown Ale when up that way... you'll defo feel it the next morning! 😂

just binge watched all your uk trip so far, such a likeable guy- eating and drinking your way round - like your style, woild be good to see your buddy with u, next time

I see,, You're hosts put their eggs in the fridge for ya 😂😂 ✌🇮🇪

A fixed shower head is so annoying, I need to be able to grab that thing and put it where it needs to be 😂

We sometimes call outside areas a "yard" too, usually at the rear of the house.

Tynemouth brings back many of child hood memories.

I had to Google where Wallsend buffs were, I knew the name but couldn't place it. It's literally a five minute walk from where I lived from the ages of five to twelve. I only live about a five minute drive from there now. I recognised every location you visited, I'm glad you had a good time in my little part of the world.

I've had food poisoning twice in America, I think the Quality is better in the UK. Also been to Australia and you get the Quantity and Quality there, Amazing food 😃 You should go there and try it out.

if you're still around Newcastle/Sunderland you're welcome to come see our 19th century working windmill at Fulwell on Thursday

As a musician you might be interested to know Jimi HENDRIX was manged by a 'GEORDIE' and spent lots of time in Newcastle. The shop pointed out to you in Tynemouth is right next to a chippy HENDRIX ate at

Hope you are enjoying being over here and the weather

Just to avoid disappointment; 99.9% of us don’t have a hot tub 😂. It’s not like a “British thing”

Spence is really starting to show a different side to him and gotta say its a positive side.love to know how much was spent on food during the holiday 😅

The British pallate often loves a curry, careful now lol

The boiler would need to be on for the radiators to come in. In the summer some people turn it off and use an immersion for water.

Damn good video Spence I enjoyed it

Spencer, you are such a kind bloke. I just love your vibe. Really chuffed you've had a lovely couple of weeks in Blighty. Please come back again soon brother. Embrace the suck Yo! We could be that mistake 💙

If it comes between two slices of bread it is a sandwich (we did invent it) and if it is in a bun it is a burger or barm unless it has chips in it then it is always a chip butty.

I’ve never had a dish washer and I don’t have a tumble dryer anymore! That’s what radiators are for 😂😂😂

when you drove through Tynemouth town centre with the tynemouth priory in the distance , that is where Jimi Hendrix used to buy chips , theres a blue plaque on the chippy window and he ate them on a bench overlooking the sea

I do have a dryer, but I don't have a utility room so my washer and dryer are in my kitchen

Hope you had a wonderful time in our part of the world X the north is such a beautiful part of the country.

Unbelievable how do you better this amazing bonny lad

Enjoy every minute.

At 3:30 in your video you can see the Spanish City amusement park. It and the north east coast feature heavily in the Dire Straits song "Tunnel of Love". Mark Knopfler grew up just up the coast in Blyth.

I don't think the garden / yard terminology is as different as some people think. It's simply that 99% of British have grass & plants. So they absolutely fit your definition of a "garden". Admittedly a lot of the time it's totally neglected or overgrown, but you'd very rarely see a yard with no vegetation behind a UK home.

We have separate rooms for washing machines in Australia too.

In the UK a back yard is usually a small area at the rear of a terraced house enclosed by brick walls with just concrete underfoot. That's where the washing line would be to dry your washing. Also somewhere to park your bike. It might even contain an outside toilet!

Those dogs hold a tune. 🤣🤣

Your looking right at home enjoy mate

Hiya. North Shields here

A yard where I live is usually out the back of terraced houses and they’re usually small and paved or concreted.

North Shields and Tynemouth eh? I am from the south side of the river myself.

You went to a Workingmans Club! Totally a unique UK experience

Costa Del South Shields!!! I am blessed as far as South Shields is concerned - every single time i have been there it has been properly 'cracking flags' hot. It IS like being on holiday abroad every time i've been.

Bud, you were right by my place of work down the Fish Quay, hope you had a class time in the North East!! 💚

had to watch your vlog in 2 halves tonight Spencer there was the small matter of England qualifying for the Euros final

It depends on the size of the house where the washing machine is. any houses have a 'utility room' where the washer and dryer is.

Thanks for that ….you started my Alexa playing the Rolling Stones. Lol

In UK a yard is mostly concrete if I has a lawn it's a garden

I do like the Newcastle accent.

I would strongly recommend the works of travel writer Bill Bryson, American but largely based in the UK, he goes into great detail comparing the cultural differences between UK & the US

Dad lived in North Shields for a couple years, I use to enjoy by the harbour watching the big Cruise ships come in

Bear in mind that you are in a small house. Many houses have utility (laundry) rooms - usually next to the kitchen - that house the washing machine and spin drier etc.
