Hey! I'm Alanna - a thirty-something documenting my life as a Canadian living in England.
I share the ups and downs of an expat living abroad and what it's really like living in the UK. It's not always easy, but there's been so many wonderful experiences, too. I post a RU-vid video every Tuesday plus an additional video every Saturday on Patreon + YT Memberships. I also livestream every Wednesday and Sunday at 5:30pm GMT/BST on Twitch.

I wouldn't say I think in 24 hour time, more like it's 10 in the morning or 2 in the afternoon, but seeing 10:00 or 14:00 on my watch just translates automatically in my head without any thinking.

Ref. Sunday roasts. Alanna says " there was too much food ?!" 145K subscribers went "Nope".

@Phiyedough 3 месяца назад

The thing is, you don't have to cook huge quantities. We had the same size meal on Sunday as on other days but it was a bit more fancy, with roast spuds, Yorkshire pudding (if beef) stuffing (if pork or chicken) or mint sauce (if lamb). There was also a dessert, which we only normally had on Sunday. A typical midweek evening meal would be pork chop, mashed potato, cabbage and gravy.

@ABrit-bt6ce 3 месяца назад

Sunday roasts are supposed to be too much food, tbh seems to be the whole point of them. The left overs are main meals until they run out about mid week.

@@leeklass3907 Before supermarkets were a thing you got together enough food to actually have a meal. Sunday was as good a day as any and so we get piles of garbage on a plate once a week. It's rather like christmas dinner although my local Chinese (all bless Alice) can cater for those needs.

Time is an odd one as I was definitely taught 12 hours AM/PM as a kid and at school but I’m completely comfortable with 24 hour times too. Perhaps it’s because I’m of the generation for whom digital watches were a new and wondrous thing. To quote the late, great Douglas Adams: “Far out in the uncharted backwaters of the unfashionable end of the western spiral arm of the Galaxy lies a small unregarded yellow sun. Orbiting this at a distance of roughly ninety-two million miles is an utterly insignificant little blue green planet whose ape-descended life forms are so amazingly primitive that they still think digital watches are a pretty neat idea.”

@mccpcorn2000 3 месяца назад

Same. I learned 12 hour as a kid, but somewhere along the line I switched to 24. But even though all my electronic stuff is in 24, I still think in 12. So when my phone says 19:45, I say, 7.45pm 😅

I was born in 1973 and, as a kid, I was taught the twelve hour clock way of telling the time. The 24 hour clock seemed to become the dominant version at the start of the 80s when VCRs, ovens, microwaves and heating systems etc. required the use of a digital 24 hour format. It's now the only format I use. I collect Casio G-Shock watches and just can't have that first space without a '1' or a '0' there. :)

The time thing is the reason Americans miss so many flights in Europe as the 24 hour clock confuses the life out of them. I used to work as a booking agent and the amount of abuse I took because they can't tell time. Apparently the 7.2 billion that can use the 24hr clock are stupid for using the 24hr clock.

Yeah, used to date a flight attendant who pretty much said the same thing about Americans and time keeping….but it gets worse! Thanks to their habit of writing the date as “month, day, year” rather than “day, month, year” like the majority of people in the western world do, a lot of Americans missed or showed up too early for their flights- and by too early I mean they booked a flight for what they thought was like the 11th October only they actually booked it for the 10th November! 😂

@G4GUO 3 месяца назад

@@nicktankard1244 I guess it depends on what you define as 'pop out'. I was in Chilliwack BC and there is a corner store within walking distance, but the main shops were a bit further. Where I live in the UK, my local shops are a 10-minute walk and all the supermarkets deliver, the local GP surgery is a 15-minute walk and the beach 1-minute, so there is no need for a car. There is also the issue of prescription + dispensing charges, the difficulty of getting a family doctor. I did like the recycle center in Chilliwack, where you get paid for your soda cans etc. I would have to pay a lot more tax if I lived in Canada as well. It is a nice country to visit, but it has changed a lot since I first visited it in 1977.

@@G4GUO sure Chilliwack is very suburban but that’s not Vancouver. Even Burnaby which borders Vancouver is not that walkable already.

24 hour clock: 'military time' is actually known as 'Zulu'. As in 'we attack at 06:50 Zulu', as in when it's six-fifty in the morning on the Greenwich meridian. We also used two versions during WWII, so that all military operations were happening at two hours before Greenwich time,wherever in the world they were, usually North Africa. This still exists as 'daylight savings time' but is only one hour, altered in summer due to the days being longer. Go to work at dawn, kids in bed before dark. Something else: 'Zulu' had no midnight when I was 'in'. To avoid clocks showing 00:00 being thought to have stopped, time goes from 23:59 to 00:01 two minutes later, with midnight not mentioned. Such fun we had.

@wessexdruid7598 3 месяца назад

Zulu is UTC (GMT). Alpha time is UTC+1 (i.e. BST in the UK), Bravo is UTC+2, etc, etc, depending on the local time zone where you are operating. A military 'Date Time Group' (DTG) is formatted as DDhhmmZMMMYY, where Z is the zone, not necessarily Zulu.

@@wessexdruid7598 Let's correct a minor error. During WWII the UK was on double savings time - Greenwich Mean Time and UTC are the same thing. Ideally we ditch messing with the clocks and the damage it does to health. Almost all of Europe voted to ditch it anyway.

Of course, one specific newspaper is guaranteed to pop up with their objection to us being on "Berlin Time"!

Hi Allana, thanks for the all the entertainment, keep going, its really great! I must just add much of what I have heard you say about life here, I said the same, but from the opposite when I lived in the US for several years. Typically it all came back to the size of the country. Cars are bigger, there is so much more space than we have. We, as a people are long established on this rock and so, towns, cities grew up around them as populations grew. Where you have demand in a smalll area, naturally I guess again back to size, we do not have so much land, so the greengrocer/supermarket or pub will often be just around the corner. I think, size does matter here, when you have come from a large country like Canada. BTW I have always loved the Canadian sense of humour - thinkng John Candy and have worked with some of you.

More rage ensued when he was trying to set the alarm to an AM time, he was keeping his finger on the “alarm time set” button too long and it was whizzing past the time he wanted and so he had to keep on pressing the button, going through all the PM times, and getting ready for the AM settings. His frustration was evident as his foul language was pretty appalling Setting a 24 Hour clock is much easier and so less stressful!!!

Always remember roast lamb with potatoes and greens etc on a Sunday. Half a gallon of gravy. Yorkshire puds. My dad used to stimulate the childhood imagination by referring to the Lamb as 'Brontosaurus'.

Grew up in the 1970s with a compulsory family Sunday dinner. Missing it was considered the ultimate sin. We alternated between having a beef joint and a leg of lamb every week. Remembering back to the 1960s, there was absolutely nothing open on a Sunday. Many shops were also closed on Saturday afternoon, and either Wednesday, or Thursday afternoon. So shops were only open for a total of 5 days a week. Sunday was a "rest day" when most people did nothing. There was always a 3:00pm movie on TV to watch after dinner. Watch, or listen to the 1958 Hancock Half Hour episode "Sunday Afternoon at Home". To get a feeling of how boring Sundays in the UK used to be,

I've lived in the UK all my life, use 24 hour on my watch etc., but will sometimes see 17 and think 7pm if I'm not paying attention. Also Tesco hummus tubs are the same as the sour cream and chive ones but come with lids. We was the lids and keep a couple in the drawer for when we get the dips without lids.

@arlmondgcalcutt6562 3 месяца назад

Sunday lunch - it was cheaper to buy & cook a large joint - it used to be the mantra roast on Sunday, cold on Monday, mince on Tuesday- it gave us 3 meals

Yes to Peanut Butter, smooth preferred but has 100% peanuts no added oil or salt.

This comment is 3 weeks late but oh well. Fellow Canadian here. Growing up in the 80's 1 of 6 kids in my family. So we couldn't afford much. I might have starved if I didnt have peanut butter and jam, jelly or banana sandwiches to take to school. I eat them alot. So good thing I love them. Now so many people are allergic to peanuts. It's strange.

Peanut butter and marmite on toast is the one!!!

When I was a kid, all clocks were analogue and 12 hour notation ruled. This remained the case for a while after digital clocks became common. For me there was a light bulb moment in my twenties when my company required me to use 24 hour notation and I found I preferred it. As for the rest of the country, and knowing my countrymen as I do, it seems likely that 24 hour became widespread because it's the default setting on lots of devices, and I suspect people couldn't be arsed to change it.

We didn’t have peanut butter in my home country. I’ve only known about it from American movies. So when I first went to the US in my mid 20s, I tried it and instantly loved it. I don’t eat PB&J sandwiches very often, but I love them.

Hi Alanna. I'm from Australia and I love peanut butter (the smooth kind) and honey on toast...

@cathygillies7271 3 месяца назад

Hi Alanna, Canadian here, I will still eat peanut butter and jam and when I was young -- and not so young -- yes to a peanut butter and banana sandwich. Here in Nova Scotia, it is still traditional to have a Sunday roast. Guess that's because so many people here have British and Irish roots -- also it is the big meal of the week for the family. Not everyone does it but it is certainly something I was used to. You may use a lot of 'Britishisms' in your every day conversation now, but you still have your Canadian accent!

Can I make a suggestion? Your old vlog-type videos were really cool when you'd visit random cool places - totally would encourage you to make more of those! The British countryside has so many nice and historical places.

@hairyairey 3 месяца назад

They're great except it seems that Alanna goes to quite some effort to ensure that no other person appears in it. It's jarring after a while as that's not the way we see these places. Has there been a severe epidemic that's killed all the population apart from Alanna and her boyfriend? Also remember that people will also give you a sense of scale - Alanna could be showing us a model village for all we know... (And yes, that actually was the question I asked her recently that she immediately took offence at).

Some surprises in here: - No suggestion of Peanut butter & Marmite - taste sensation on hot buttered toast! The British crisp (ready salted) or hot chip sandwich. - Reversed uses of cutlery: Brits will use knife & fork for hot food (pizza, burgers) whereas North Americans use their hands; conversely Brits will eat cake with their hands (unless having it with hot custard), whereas North Americans tend to use special tiny forks.

@dominicmoloney2621 3 месяца назад

Thanks Alana, I enjoyed that... It made me think... Popping Out: The distances involved in living in North America and the barbaric zoning laws prevent "popping out". I can walk 5 minutes to a bus stop, 10 minutes to a train station and 15 minutes to a Post Office. I have 20+ cafe's, take-aways, restaurants, pubs and even a winery within a 20 minute walk (the thing that matters is the walk back tbh.). There's a supermarket and two mini-markets within 15 minutes walk and probably 20+ other retail outlets from pharmacies to lawyers, bathroom shops to estate agents, charity shops to hairdressers. I live in a (albeit big) village. Not even a town, Never mind a city. Can you even imagine what's within 10 minutes DRIVE? Pizza Crust Dipping: ... I called zoning laws barbaric so I have nowhere left to go for this gastronomic abomination.

@jcasillas78 3 месяца назад

It's funny, the walking thing is the opposite for me. A "walk" with family in Yorkshire is a 12 mile plus trek across the moors, minor rock climbing, traversing streams and many muddy cow pastures later, a pub. I have to train before I visit!

Most of us use both but, as public services use 24hr clock we've had to get used to it. Half the fun of Sunday roasts is using the leftovers on Monday. Bubble and squeak anyone? Cheese and Jam sandwiches, banana sanwiches or plain peanut butter sandwiches for me please, (crunchy, and don't forget the salt).

@DaveBartlett 3 месяца назад

As used to the 24 hour clock as we are in the UK, there are times when we confuse it with the twelve hour clock. Not so much reading timetables quoting times as "15:" as 5 o'clock or "17:" as 7 o'clock, but when specifically looking for something on a timetable that arrives/departs around 5 o'clock, many of us will zoom in on the '15:' times rather than the '17:' times without realising it. Don't worry about it Alanna - you'll get used to it eventually. (Thanks by the way, for not using the awful American phrase of 'military time'!)

I dip pizza if it's hot enough. If the pizza is heavy with pepperoni or peppers or chillies etc. i will dip in a cool sauce like sour cream and chive dip or garlic dip. I never do the opposite though, dip in a hot sauce.

Hi Alanna, I really like this video, I can relate so much to everything you say as a fellow canadian living in the UK. Funny thing though, in Quebec, we use the 24 hours clock for some obscure reason that I don't know haha Also, a little fun fact for you, Peanut butter has been invented in Canada, it is therefore as Canadian as our dear Maple syrup :) We are also at the origin of the biggest debate in the world: yup Pineapple on pizza (Hawaiian pizza) also a canadian invention.. we love experiencing with food, don't we :)

@michaelstamper5604 3 месяца назад

My sister was married to someone in the USAF who introduced me to pb&j. He was completely confused when I added butter to the bread before the PB & Jam . As for popping out, why don't they build shops closer to the houses?

@Phiyedough 3 месяца назад

In USA it is to do with zoning, they don't allow retail businesses to operate in residential zones. Another feature of the "land of the free"!

@pitiedvod 3 месяца назад

⁠@@PhiyedoughThat is something that always weirded me out in the US. There just really no corner shops and pubs and so on just down the street and you end up with whole neighborhoods with nothing but houses and no services until you drive a good 10-20 minutes away. And yes walks should end up at the pub. This is the way.

@jackwalker4874 3 месяца назад

Zoning codes are supposedly there to stop factories being built in residential areas but are far more prescriptive than that. In many parts of the US R1 zoning was specified as a way of perpetuating racial segregation after doing so explicitly had been outlawed.

I guess they call it military time for a good reason. I live 25 kilometers from the nearest shop so I really don't pop out for anything. Not when it's $10 in gas to get to town!

As a Brit 24 hour clock yes is the norm but only since mobile phones really. Dipping crusts is good when i feel like it. A roast dinner doesn't have to be every Sunday but goes down well when its made. I agree with the peanut butter thing, the cheaper, the better (Tesco crunchy for me). I dont mind PB&J but mine is more savoury, peanut butter with ham or cheese or just PB (on bread) to dip in tomato soup. I may have to try the peanut butter and banana tho, sounds interesting.
