It’s actually A Ring-a-ring o’ roses, A pocket full of posies, A-tishoo! A-tishoo! We all fall down. The ring of roses where red lesions on the skin- the posies were dried flowers and herbs thought to combat the plague- sneezing was a symptom and we all fall down was death - hope this helps

Ring of roses is a euphemism for the red rashes that would appear, A pocket full of posies was a believed preventive measure Atishoo Atishoo is obviously the sneeze We all fall down... =death What a lovely rhyme

Eh we dye eggs here in the UK. We used to collect petals from the gorse bushes and use that as a dye when I was at school. We also used to paint and decorate eggs as well.

@DruncanUK Год назад

Hey! Good to see you back. You are actually wrong about dyeing eggs. It used to be a thing in UK many years ago but for some reason it has died (dyed? Lol) out. The methods were exactly the same with wax crayons etc except we would "blow" the eggs first - putting a pinprick at each end and blowing hard at one end so the insides all come out leaving you with an intact, empty egg shell.

@dougwilson4537 Год назад

Yes... used to do eggs this way in Canada also. Not sure if anyone is carrying on that particular tradition though. I know that none of my relatives are doing this at all. You also get a small groan for that pun. 😂

@julia2jules Год назад

Yes, I’m 47 and remember dying eggs for Easter in England and Scotland. Sometimes hard boiled, that we would roll down a hill in the park and other times we would blow them first. You can still buy egg dying kits.

@shaunw9270 Год назад

@@julia2jules That's one occasion I remember, egg rolling with the Sunday School ! I wondered if that was a thing with anyone else apart from the United Reformed Church 70's hippies 😊

@dougwilson4537 Год назад

I only found your content a few weeks ago, so...... I guess I don't know what I might have missed.😁 To say the UK is more northerly than the USA is a bit of an understament. I'm on the East Coast of Canada, and Halifax, NS is almost on the 45 parallel, about level with Marseilles in the south of France. London is about the same latitude as the north of Newfoundland, and Newcastle is about level with Labrador City. So the UK is waaaayy further north, than almost anyone thinks. The good news, is you are on the correct side of the Gulf Stream, and get all that nice warming water heading your way. Nova Scotia has a similar maritime climate to the UK, but we get much colder winters.🥶 For reference for anyone from the US, Nova Scotia is just north of Maine, which has similar weather. 😊

@vickytaylor9155 Год назад

The words of ring a ring of roses, comes from when you had a ring of roses on your door if you got sick with the plague to ward off the smell. The posies where to signify that someone inside had died.

@jonntischnabel Год назад

I'm from Derbyshire and when I was a kid, we dyed Easter eggs at school. We used onion skins, and they came out like tie dye. 😊 And btw, I buy white eggs every day because I go to the farm, you wouldn't believe the difference in taste, colour and quality, I'd never buy eggs from a supermarket ever again.

@Wien1938 Год назад

Same when we had our own chicken. Amazing taste!

@mothmagic1 7 месяцев назад

The colour of the shell makes no difference to the taste of the eggs. The flavour is affected by the diet of the hens. That's why free range taste better than battery hen eggs.

We most certainly do dye hard-boiled eggs at easter in the UK. We then hide them in the garden or indoors for those without a garden, for the kids to find. It's called an Easter Egg Hunt.

I remember as a child (late50s early60s) in the UK we used to paint eggs at Easter 🐣, usually with water-colour paints, same as I used for actual water colour painting which was a common hobby then and certainly for me and my brother. I think boxes of eggs then always came with mainly white shells, with an occasional brown egg so just as you mentioned it was easy to colour them. I presume changing fashion and breed of hens here since then accounts for the change.

The tubes were I think it’s right invented in the uk because they were used a lot in stores passing a build up of cash to the central collection point or requests for change for eg. They are a pneumatic system with sealing shuttles which screw together. I think that’s what your describing. If you’ve had some info they petered out and we’re gone by the end of the 60s beginning of the 70s, I remember them well they made a racket as they were working!

The dyeing eggs thing did used to happen, mainly in primary school, but you’d more often turn them into little characters for a competition. Maybe that’s something that stopped being as common, as I must admit I’ve never heard of kids doing it now. But it was definitely a thing in the 80s and 90s.

We here in the UK did used to have white shelled eggs and back in the '50's & '60's at least, dyeing eggs for Easter definitely _was_ a thing! We used to use wax crayons to create patterns too, and also make nests for them with coloured crepe (wrinkled) tissue papers etc. There were hardback books which I saw / owned as a young girl, which had multiples of directions for this egg-dyeing practice, plus all sorts of home-made games and toys or activities to while away the weekends / school holidays or just evenings spent by the fire on cold winter evenings, to have something to do if not reading an adventure book (by Enid Blyton, for example) ...and regarding these homemade / handmade activities, we also spent time making our own Christmas decorations (both to decorate our rooms and the, back then, real Christmas Trees, too) so there's a distinct possibility that a lot of your American creative ideas originally stemmed from similar habits and activities here "in the Old Country"...🤔 😏🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿❤️🇬🇧 🙂🖖 ⭐🌲🌟🏔️🎀🎈🎇🎨🖌️🎂🍭🍬🍫

On the subject of electric kettles, when we first moved to Australia in the 1970snthere we’re very few kettles. Electric jugs were far more common. These were like a small ewer or water jug, usually glazed pottery with a an electric heating element inside. The two pin plug was pushed in the back just below the lid. This also prevented the lid being opened while the jug was energised. Some even had a cutout which required you to push a red button to boil the water. We still sometimes see one in a thrift shop! The heating element was not covered and could cause slight electrolysis. No issue on AC mains but a health risk if the jug was used on DC mains.

Sunset in London on 21 December is: 3:53 pm GMT, sunset on 21 June is 9:22 pm (BST) / 8:22 pm GMT; so a difference of about 4.5 hours from earliest to latest (5.5 hours with the extra hour added by British Summer Time). Day length varies from 7 hours 50 minutes on 21 December to 16 hours 38 minutes; so a difference of about 8 hours 48 minutes.
