One difference I noticed in the US is that you will complain if something is wrong with your meal whereas in UK many people hate to complain if the food isn't ok. U S is better for that.

We did have a single school shooting in the UK in the early 90s I think. After that we almost entirely banned private weapon ownership. Australia did the same after a terrible public shooting - it changed overnight from a gun tolerant culture to the absolute opposite. It's possible to change things, don't lose hope x x

Probably the crazy amount of sugar that you Americans are eating is what is killing you and making you so unhealthy and obese. Furthermore, I don't understand that you rely on fast-food chains to get your vitamins and calories. I probably went twice to Mc Donalds in my life, and once to Burger King. I never visited a Taco Bell or a KFC in my life. I will never understand why the eating habits of Americans are so decadent.

Got to say, as someone from the UK I hate US style service. It feels forced and intrusive - like leave me alone you poor thing! Take a break!

As a Dub living in Philly, I often find newer bathrooms seem to mostly be "single stall" bathrooms, with toilet & sink together behind a fully closable & lockable door. Same with the diners we use in NE Phila & S NJ. I had not realised I was in a "decent loo" part of the US.

There are plenty of long distance walks that are less mountainous like Offas Dike for instance. What I would suggest though is to look out for books or small fold out maps in local bookshops, markets or tourist information centres, showing local circular walks or 'pub' walks. These are often graded by time and difficulty. There are also books published which give walking guides to different 'trig' points in each county which are the original sighting measuring points used for mapping the UK. And of course for the really dedicated there are the series of books written by Wainwright on getting to all of the mountaintops in the Cumbrian Lake District. Cities can be a drain on your purse. IMO the best experiences are off the beaten track. The British Isles also includes Wales, Ireland and Scotland where most can speak English better than the natives. 😉

We went to America when my youngest daughter was 12. One day we were taking a packed lunch and going out for the day. She cried when we discovered that a sausage roll didn’t exist in America! She was tired and that was the final straw.

The first time I visited America (New York specifically) I definitely was completely shocked by the lack of privacy you have in your public toilets. Like I was aware of the problem before hand but it's not until you're sitting in one watching strangers walk past you that you really realise how bad it is. I think especially myself being from London, I didn't expect it to happen in such a major city in the US

As a Brit, London is a dumpster. There are much nicer placers than London, don't be afraid to say that London isn't great. There are so many better places in the UK that deserve the tourism than London.

Some of those footpaths are thousands of years old, following well worn routes between towns that may not even exist nowdays. If you drive north from Winchester and before Newbury you climb onto a ridge where an obvious footpath crosses the main road. This was the route taken by King Alfred over 1,200 years ago to attack the vikings who had taken Wareham. There, you can walk in a king's steps (or his horse's). On the Isle of Wight the ridge walk will allow you to look down at field markings of towns that were abandoned in the 1400s after a series of French incursions. Also look over Newtown and see field patterns from extremely early farming systems (rigs, I think).

The need for tipping makes the phrase “But I pay your wages” more understandable but when that’s said over here or when that attitude is brought here, the response is a very calm “No, you don’t” and it must be such a confronting response to be faced with when you’re not used to that reality. Like all the air coming out of a balloon 😂

Thanks guys! Absolutely one of the best "Visit Britain" videos I have seen! Special thanks for including Newcastle, my old University city. I think most Americans miss it. Next time you visit the UK try to visit some of the truly ancient monuments, and I don't just mean Stonehenge. There are loads dotted all about the place especially in Cornwall, Derbyshire, Cumbria and Scotland.

I feel like the US values individualism, the experience is catered to individuals private lives and it's not that we don't do that in the UK but we do i think care more than the US about public/ collective experiences eg the public toilets and pathways and queuing.

To be honest, I'm from Europe and I never gave footpaths a second thought. They're just there 😆. For the longest time I didn't even know that it was something that isn't universal. They're literally everywhere here, so it's hard to imagine it just not being a thing in other places. They're also really convenient for casual walk in nature, because you don't have to commit to an entire huge trip, you can just use one in your vicinity, walk on it for a bit and come back or most likely there will be another path that will turn you back around. I did that a lot with my little brother when I was a kid and we spent time outside of town at the family cottage.

Having been on Amtrak, I can say our system is better - that's not saying all that much but Amtrak feels kind of... like passengers are coincidental. Like 'Today there happens to be a train from X to Y and it'll arrive at Y.... eventually' It didn't feel like it would be many people's first choice for travelling from one point to another. Whereas at least in UK there's a pretty straightforward timetable for most routes.

being treated nicely (apart from in London apparently xD ) and ...... footpaths..... Okay... Look into Human Rights. The right to travel (as in, basically on foot, with your goods, without trauma or grief, all around) is in there. That includes being able to get from one end of the country to another. This is really sad. This makes me sad. The world empire has forgotten our human rights. And now they feel that we're 'so quaint'. I love you two, I love your video. I just shudder at what this all means. :o :(

From a Brit in the NW of England, Double Deckers - manna from heaven. Try Soreen toasted with butter. It's meant to be squidgy and cloying but fresh it's delicious. You were ripped off ok the mini eggs Easter egg. You can normally buy them in any supermarket here for £1 or £1.50. Paying over $10 for one 😱! Love the videos. Love that you like some British stuff more than American stuff and appreciate the differences. Keep the videos coming.

Hot water often came through lead pipes, and had very low pressure, so you could not mix the water in a mixer tap, or drink from the hot water tap. If you tried putting in s mixer tap, it was impossible to control the temperature.

the first thing that I notice every time I go to the UK is the poor design of housing. Of course you can get some great homes, and when I lived there our homes were nice. The new estates in Perth are all individually designed, and very attractive. but the prices in our area have gone up dramatically in the last year, as have rentals.
