IRISH Impressions of ENGLISH people (don't hate me!) 🙅‍♀️ Watch before you visit England 

Thank you. Nice to see an Irish person talk positively about my people for once.

Born in Liverpool but grew up in Dublin, so many similarities to Ireland. A lot of Scousers have Irish origins (it's about 75%) so no wonder the humour, the people and the craic are the same.

SPOT on! As an English person currently living in Ireland touring 👌

Great video! I've travelled to England a load of times and have always enjoyed it, people tend to give the English a hard time (perhaps because of history haha) but I've always found them friendly and kind, just not too over the top with it. As for the restaurant thing, I've personally rarely had that experience with things being unavailable, occasionally some desserts maybe? Though I've mostly been to London and around the South so it could be a northern thing or you were just unlucky haha

Sunday Roasts. Most pubs in England you'll need to book a table on a Sunday and get there early, i.e. 12 noon. 1 o'clock is prime time. 2 o'clock it's mostly sold out.

Hi! I do agree with your observations. As an English person living in North Yorkshire I've encountered the problem of menu options not being available ( items in shops too) it's mostly been since covid and Brexit😱. It is deeply annoying. I went to Northumberland last summer too, a most wonderful place! It you like it there, you will love Yorkshire. Glad you had a positive experience of the English. We're pretty good on the whole!

English people are friendly. Just not in London. But that's no different to Paris or Berlin. The whole of the rest of the country is great.

I’m English and I would say that we love the Irish people, you’re the Emerald Isle and we are the green and pleasant land

I think during the Irish Famine in the 19th century, it was the British land owners and estates who treated the Irish people so badly. Not ordinary Anglo/Saxons. Definitely not the peasantry.

I used to visit Birmingham with my aunt every summer to another irish aunties and this was during the troubles and every english and the brummies treated us really friendly couldn't of been any nicer and when i was old enough to go for a few beers with my relatives they treated us like royalty the english are very friendly

Great video, you have a new sub. Having lived here for 17 years, as a Celtic descendant (Irish,. Welsh and Scots - I dub myself a "Celtic mongrel" haha) have had varied experiences and it very much depends where you are. The north for example is a lot friendlier than the south, that's just a fact, even amongst the English and the Scots. On the roast front I'd suggest the individual country pubs rather than the restaurants.

I feel like Irish and English people have the same humour in my opinion

I can't help but politely laugh at your naivety of expecting a roast at 2pm on a Sunday 😅 all in light humour of course. Yeah, you have to get in there early, book in advance if you can as they are popular, especially on a Sunday. Thank you for your lovely comments on England. I think, our part of the world; Britain and Ireland have been blessed with such stunning scenery.

Respect your comment about the dogs!! All your points are great! Great perception!

There are more people of Irish descent in the UK than there are in Ireland. (ONS)

Your video reminded me of a quote I stumbled across not to long ago: _"More than one British person has told me that only Americans and unhinged people talk to strangers."_ from the book: Sorry I'm Late, I Didn't Want to Come: One Introvert's Year of Saying Yes by Jessica Pan

I was born in England and always seen myself as English but one day i questioned why my first and last name is irish then i asked my sister and apparently grandad was irish. Nice

Irish women like Englishmen, they approach us, that's why my girlfriend is Irish. And our culture is similar

Very interesting, as someone who grew up mainly in Yorkshire but now lives in Ireland it's very interesting to compare and contrast, should note its very different in the North of England to the South, so much more friendly 😁 When you go back make sure to visit the Bronte village of Haworth and your guaranteed to get a beautiful Roast dinner in most of the pubs there 😋

Love love love the Irish. Here in Liverpool a lot of people have Irish roots anyway. My paternal grandparents where from Ireland. Maternal from wales & Scotland! I was born in England. So I have roots all over the Uk x loved your vid hun x

Im English and im very proud you said these nice things i just came back from france and they were very nice to me all trip it just goes to show dont believe the stereotypes

A great video! with really interesting observations. Got to say it - I'm English and have lived in England (East Anglia) all my life - but travelled for decades all over Europe - and the World. The place most similar to England? without question - Ireland. The countryside, towns, villages - and the people too. Unfortunately I believe many people - often with an agenda, look for differences when actually there is very little - often there is none. This is one of the big tragedies of our shared history. By the way roast dinners - hard to get in many places! Best to book especially on a Sunday. 2pm is way too late! you need to arrive at 11.30 - by the time you have sat down, got a drink you will be eating by 12.00. Good luck!

I am Irish and lived in London for years and it’s true English people are very friendly most of them are very nice and welcoming to Irish people especially as most of them have a granny from cork . Sunday roast is really a Sunday lunch it’s a much earlier than in Ireland.I think England is very beautiful there are many pretty places it’s a lot nicer than it gets credit for .

The English and Irish are blood brothers who should not have hatred but no one says that one of the brothers let the other die of hunger .

I worked in london on buildings in 88 89 .broke my back..english good 2 work for ...your a privileged little madam.

I’m North West English & I worked in Southern Ireland for 5 years. I loved the place! On days off I’d head down to the South West, or over to Killarney or Galway. I never got sick of spending time there & it was only things like ‘Club Soda’ & ‘Tayto Crisps’ that made me realise where I was because Ireland felt just like home. The people are great & the craic was mighty. But I don’t know how it will be in the future. All I see now is Irish young people saying they hate the English & there’s been a rise in Pro-IRA songs being sung by the Irish Ladies football team. I think you should never forget but learn to forgive. Isn’t that what the Bible teaches us?

Hello from a Northumbrian! Ive experienced a bit of hostility for having been born in Britain (like i had a choice 😂 ) but I wanna thank you for breaking down some of those barriers. Hopefully we can continue and just be good neighbours one day! As for the food it tends to be in rural areas where roast dinners are really sought after and supply is much more local/seasonal. If you do get the chance visit Wales and the Cairngorms; they are stunning.

This should be interesting, since my mother was English, my dad is a Cockney ( natural `father` Scott ) and my grandad from Co Mayo. I grew up in England and have lived in Wales and EIRE. I loved living in EIRE and Wales - and have not counted the number of times I have been to those countries. I spent a year living in Kilkenny and half a dozen years travelling the country. It`s one of those countries that, if you see it, it`ll be a recurring dream. A soothing reoccurence. I wish I could go back. I live in the East Riding of Yorkshire now and it should be small matter to go back to what I consider at least half my roots ( gaelic ), but End-Stage Avascular Osteonecropathy limits my wits and abilities to travel. But I`m determined that we only live twice. Yep - the day will come when I`m back in Ireland, either on the horizontal of vertical. My Cockney dad is the best dad anyone could ever wish for. `Never seen a more beautiful Isle than Island. `Ring of Kerry. `The V` down to the south east around Co Wexford. I had a friend in Swords, just north of Dublin, and still am half convinced that she was a witch !

Most people go out for Sunday lunch at 12.00-12.30 or even earlier and have a couple pints beforehand. 2 o'clock is very late as you found out. Concerning Anglo-Irish rivalry, many years ago I was married to an Irish girl from Navan. I got talking in a bar to her nephew and his friend who were keen amateur rugby players, so was I many years before! I asked them that if they could choose between the Irish winning the Five Nations Championship, (in those days!) but losing heavily to England at Landsdowne Road in the process or finishing last in the championship but thrashing England at Twickenham, which would they choose? They both chose finishing last and beating England! Nuff said.

Try Al Murray, Harry Enfield, Mickie Flanagan to help you with English humor. I was born in England but am now a US citizen. I've been here over 40 years and these guys are new to me but I can't get enough of them. Give them a look I think you're doing to enjoy!

If you go for a roastie at 4, none. Next week you go at 3. Etc. But due to economic circumstances, restaurants probably don’t want to be left with unsold stuff.

My mother came from Carrick on Suir Co Tipp. I use to go there as a kid, but by the time l reached 11 years old the peoples attitude changed towards me. I grew up anti the Irish for their prejudice towards me. I never admit now that l have Irish blood and don't go there anymore. I have nothing to do with my cousins. I do understand why the Irish dislike the English but l'm not responsible for the things people did hundreds of years ago.

American here who's been to both countries. While both are lovely in their own way I have to say Irish were pretty distant and chilly (tribal even?) compared to the English. (I was pretty shocked with how rude downtown Dubliners are around Trinity College though! Is that normal?) That being said outside of Dublin Irish are fine but as an American I felt more connected to the Brits personality as they were more warm and open right out the gate where as Irish seem to need to be drawn out.

As an Australia of Irish decent on both sides of my lineage (Northen on one Southern on the other) I found this super interesting….

Most of us never go to a car boot sale. But if you come over from Ireland to a car boot sale in England, the other people there might leave you thinking we love car boot sales. I haven't been to one in 30 years.

Nice to hear some of the posetive things for once, I'm second generation English from the North West. My family are from Dundalk originally. I too find the whole situation with drinks like coke really weird for me as well, there's been this health fad for removing sugar and replacing it with sweetener over the last 10 years. We have this thing called the Sugar tax were companies are charged for how much sugar they include in a product even the normal supermarket Lemonade and some Cordial now is half Sweetener which is really problematic for me cause my body tends to reject whatever it is and I'm on the toilet for a good food hours afterwards xD I've pretty much given up drinking anything other than Tea and water when out. Joke of it all is I bet we'll find out that the sweetners cause just as much health problems as the sugar.

A week isn't enough time love. Certain places are alright. I'm from West hampstead it's nice there. We do love dogs yea😅 Todd video love cheers 👊🏻🙏🏻

What do you feel about the English accents ? Specifically northern of England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Brits don't have a problem with the Irish at all, on the whole we see you as part of the UK family.As for the food, don't forget, you live in a Country of 5m, the UK has 70m so things will get sold out quicker.

I am mostly english and 6.25 percent scotish wich in the grand scheme of things is quite a bit, england has big history and clashes with the countries around it , this is not a topic that should be relevant in nowadays relationships and friendships ( however we may not forget our mistakes), we eat breakfast at 8:00 Lunch at 12:00 Dinner at 18:30 Usually. You have a lovely accent btw If you go back to england just ask me anything you need to know about england or scotland. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🤝🇮🇪

Please don't go for a roast at 2.00pm, especially on Sunday! Go to a pub/restaurant at 12pm and book ahead if possible. I'm English and noticed that everything happens about 2 hours later in Ireland. For example, a folk gig in a pub in Ballyhugue didn't even start until 9pm! A similar gig in England would have started at 7pm or 7.30pm.

It is just not true that the northern part of England is friendlier than the South of England. We are just as friendly and it is just stereotypes that is being used in saying that people from the south of England are not friendly.

My grandmother was a Fullerton from Northern Ireland, her family arrived in America in the 1600s or 1700s. She had some Scottish roots too.

Northumberland is absolutely beautiful. Bamburgh castle is somewhere I’d recommend if you’ve never been and want to visit again.

I would agree on the friendliness thing, but we are Irish in Ireland.. I have had non-irish friends relay the exact same experience with Irish as you had with the English... Also you were in the north of England is they are known to be EXTRA friendly as well. My time in Birmingham and London I also think that English are quite friendly particularly when the realised I was Irish, their faces just lit up for some reason! Sound bunch!

I am English and when I last returned I found the English people I encountered to be unfriendly and rude yet when I went to Wales and Scotland they were very friendly. Sadly I have never been to Ireland so can not say anything. I now live in Canada and I have found friendly and unfriendly areas here, for example the people of Newfoundland and Labrador will open their homes to strangers and the next thing you know they will have a party!!!

Lunch service typically finishes at 3 to prepare for evening service and give staff a break before the long evening's work. Recommend researching the best in town and booking in advance for 1PM!

Wait what? Maybe not in Dublin, but out in the country I remember seeing dogs in pubs. Maybe it was only out in the West.

There are plenty of places around the U.K. that are geared up, primarily to do roasts such as Toby Carvery. If you're visiting, scout the area you're staying in earlier in the week. Ask bar staff in pubs etc... if they do roasts, if not, where does and maybe go visit and ask if it's best to reserve a table and if they don't, ask when is best to be seated.

You would not look out of place in England, which shows how close we are, same goes for the Welsh and Scots.

I lived in uk for many years,I was treated very well with english people,they even were better than our own ta work for many irish would tell u that,also I'd rather go for a holiday in uk than any where else,very nice people all over uk friendly,I go there every year no where else

Have to agree, eating out in England is very hit or miss. Both with service and menu item availability, and noticeably a lot more expensive since covid and energy price increases.

Yoh poor thang, all you could get was curry for food in England haha. So sorry. Your video is hilarious haha

who goes for a roast before one pm. ?.......the English. oddly enough living in the south some of the best Sunday roasts are served in garden centre restaurants!!!

The main reason in England half the menu is missing is because they were lying about the nicer food on there just to get people inside😅

The restaurant situation has become difficult since Brexit. Restaurants do not have the staff. We visited Devon a couple of years ago and struggled to find places to eat because restaurants didn't have enough staff

I think you're impressions are cool in the main. I like the impartial way you wxpress yourself.

The English and Irish people are very similar to each other, a lot of marriages happen between the two. Sadly, it is the establishment that tries to divide the English and Irish people.

There's good and bad in every country on the planet, take everyone as you find them, we all tend to get offended by some nationality, and brand the whole country as the same which isn't fair ......

The North of England is stunning & the people are approachable. Food is great.Some advice Sunday Roast eating out always pre-book.

I'm Irish/English. When i was a child because my mum's got an English accent my hole family were called names like British Bs and go back to your own country. The funny thing is mum's dad's from Galway Ireland. It made me not care where people are from once their nice. England has a huge thing about barbecues . The sun is out let's barbecue. In Ireland the odd time.

She found English people in England, Ah! She was up North, that explains it.😮

Roast dinners on a sunday in a restaurant/pub are a nice treat , so everybody has the same idea. You maybe be lucky odd tines too turn up and get a table but vest too pre-book , Saturday the very latest. Country pubs are generally better aswell.

Yes! but you was up North where people are friendlier 😂

You do a great impression of Roy Keane's accent. Are you from the same neck of the Irish woods as Roy ?

How the English people react knowing you were from the Republic of Ireland ? Was it positive or negative? Please tell us your thoughts

few things if your wandering about england with an irish accent people will fancy talking to you more maybe ..not that england lacks irish people and that they are as seldomly seen as unicorns ..irish people abound more or less depending where you go i suppose right ? but i reckon its still more exotic then being english or even welsh or scottish .. in england northerners are chummier....as for the irish hating england or the english well i dont come from england but do to a twist of fate i sound like a black and tanner at least to the irish i do ....so i experienced a bit of stick for it ...i dunno i geuss the brits are arrogant that they havent yet entirely taken responsibility for what the british empire has done without trying to relativise it ..but the irish do tend to enjoy being the aggrieved underdog so that plays a role as well...

As an 2nd generation English/Irish person: Can you stop calling us 'plastic paddies'?😢 Very nasty!

The Irish are the most self satisfied people on earth. Even above the English and Americans.

British people love greggs Its a bakery There's a few in northern ireland

But you have to take into account there is a difference between a irishman and a irishwomans view in England... its not they same ... there treated different.. but I was in England for a few months and found them OK ... never a problem

Positivity.....Have lots of Irish background British in England....They are naturally positive on all people including the English...

Agree with you on the coke problem. Im allergic to sweeteners. Cokes just about the only thing left that doesn't have sweeteners over here 🫤

We're not brought up with hate of the English. Gimme a break. We don't trust them, prima facie, for very good reason, but "hate" is pushing things a bit too far.

You want to get to know English people? Get a dog. They absolutely are the best when it comes to dogs. Americans second for dogs. Irish do like their dogs but the English are definitely the top of the poppermost.

More more more ❤❤❤ 🇬🇧🇮🇪

I liked the video. just imagine this video being watched after 20 years and people compare it with that time. Nice idea of comparing and giving your Point of view. I think it was more similarities and some differences... Like subscribed...what is the tiktok :D

You must book a table in advance to get a Sunday roast. There’s a lot of demand so people get there early.

You want a normal coke, its a 'fat coke'. It costs more as the government introduced a tax on sugar a few years back, so soft drinks with high sugar content cost a bit more.

The majority of places, Coke, etc... is on tap, not in bottles. Some may have bottles but you may have to ask. I'm in north Cumbria (I think you may of briefly entered as the video shows you passed 'Twice Brewed' which is a brewery not far from Haltwhistle on the A69). The greens , browns and blues of Cumbria will amaze you. Take a flask of tea up a mountain and sit for a while, some of those colours will be different coming down than they were going up. The colours and hues constantly changing. Very sadly, that picture you posted with the tree in the dip. Some idiots went out one day late on last year and just cut it down. It was in the news all over the world. They got two people for it but I don't know what's happening with the case.

Do the Lake District 👌🏻

Food in Ireland is definitely on another level - much more fresher and almost "cleaner" .. and bigger portions.

I am slightly disappointed I didn't hear an attempt to do an English accent. Lol

Whether we like it or not ,we are very similar. But please don’t do away with the rivalry. Would be boring. Always be rivalry in countries near by . As an Irish person I find the English a little more friendly. But bad in both countries too

Lunchtime would be 12ish. 2pm is closing time, so it would all have been eaten !

Try a Toby carvery about 1 pm.

There is a huge camping culture all over Britain alright. People rent caravans or mobile homes at permanently used sites for an annual fee. You can stay on long weekends or holidays throughout the year. In Ireland, I feel people just turn up with a tent and a few fire logs at random intervals, maybe when there's a bit of a heatwave in the summer. Regarding the expansive countryside with its huge fields and greenery, Ireland suffers from both intensive over-farming, over-grazing and we only have small fields. This is how the land was split up during British occupation over the centuries. In Britain, they've kept a lot of their ancient forests and put a lot into maintaining historical buildings. The Coke Zero one is odd. Maybe those Wayne Rooney ads from a few years back really worked over there.

I'm from Ushuaia (like theend of the world) in Argentina, and we love camping... Today I have learned English people don't camp, they just move their house to the camping area. Sorry but thta's not camping. Just get a hotel room!!

I remember when we came to Ireland twenty years ago being surprised at how comparatively poor the Irish campsites were.

England yeah !!!

The whole of the British isles are beautiful. You need to come Yorkshire you will love it

The problem with opinions like this is that it is not possible to pigeon hole a nation of 67million. All countries contain a cross section of people. If you want a roast dinner go to a Toby Carvery or book the night before it’s not difficult.

All I got from the restaurant part, was you can’t get what you want in England. Hmm.

Pubs do Sunday roast in Manchester round where I live , I never use restaurants

If you made a road trip through Scotland (as well as northern England) why is the video about English people only?

Hate in the veins for the English, but not really! I'll treat an Englishman as he treats me

I know that Seaham car boot sale, but I've never been. It's my idea of hell I must say. And I agree there are similarities between England or at least parts of England and Ireland.v This must partly be because of Irish immigration into England. If you look around the town and villages of County Durham (where Seaham is) there are loads of Catholic Churches and RC Schools, all evidence of Irish people. And, the school I went to in Sunderland was St Aidans, a boys school which was run by the Irish Christian Brothers, the girls equivalent was run by the Sisters of Mercy. The other thing is that there are plenty Irish names about. Loads! Oh, I'd disagree on the architecture. Hitlers bombers are partly to blame for the sudden removal of many historic buildings in City Centres but the blame for the horrible use of concrete must be put on the shoulders of the Architectural Profession. In Ireland however, I am often blown away by the buildings. Dublin (in part, admittedly), Wexford, Waterford, Youghall, Cork, Fermoy and many more. Great to see! I love Ireland. I'm also a campervanner and I've been looking for campsites, so good to find your channel.

I just assume all Irish people hate us for history even though I wasn't even born then.

That's our problem us English , Scots and you guys the Irish are all parts of the same rock. We are too similar which makes us take the piss out of each other.

Like their Accent...it's nice. 😊
