Britons today do not know enough about the pilots from outside the UK that fought in the Battle of Britain. The list is impressive.From RAF Museum 145 Poles, 88 Czechoslovaks, 29 Belgians, 13 Frenchmen and an Austrian flew in the Battle and many of these proved to be excellent pilots. Though only operational for six weeks, the Polish No. 303 Squadron claimed 126 victories to become the top scoring RAF unit. A heartfelt thank you to those brave men

Planes with left over bombs used to drop them on small towns and villages on the way back. The next small town along from me list an entire generation of boys when the boys classroom was hit, aged between about 6 and 14. 48 boys. I knew people who grew up there as younger boys when there were no older boys around at all.

When I was child in the 1969’s and we used to visit relatives in London, there were still patches of wasteland around which were bomb sites. Basically childrens playgrounds that mostly finally disappeared by the mid-seventies

Guys, you need to know that many restaurants in the UK put a service charge on the bill. It is different from restaurant to restaurant, some charge anything fron 10% to 20% if they feel that can get away with it. The service charge is discretionary, you are not obliged to pay it. I've seen visitors from the US pay the service charge and also give a tip. You're being ripped off. When you get the bill just tell the waiter that you don't wish to pay the discretionary service charge. They will usually give you another bill with it removed. You can then if you choose give a tip. But remember, in the UK, tips are not generally expected.

The fact is, the British care about history and the locals in Egypt and the Sahara desert at in the 1920s etc were pretty indifferent to exploration. It's easy for Gen Z idiots to think they know it all when they know nothing. Would they prefer that these artefacts were forgotten about or shot to smithereens by mindless terrorists?

You're not wrong, and I for one totally get it. The expensive and fancy restaurants are great for trying new things and 'playing on a theme' like culinary jazz. But if trying to judge the original, the classic that made it a whole theme to play on, that type of restaurant is pretentious, and un-authentic to the max - by design.

Fascinating video, thanks! Even now, most cities in the UK have evidence of the bombs falling. Sometimes, there are still gaps. Often, it will be a row of old buildings, with one or two new ones in the middle. And those who know will tell you "oh, those buildings were blown up in the war". Every city and larger towns, too. There's still bunkers left and parts of old bomb shelters. It is surprising, but the effect of the bombing is still all around. Oh, and it's the same all over Europe. It was horrific.

I'm lucky enough to live in South Wales, just a short car journey to the Gower, it is as good as that video says it is. My only advice, get yourself a wetsuit, come rain or shine, you can go on the beach, go in the sea, bet let's not forget, its the Atlantic and it's chilly (as far as I'm concerned) even at the height of summer... but it's just so lovely.

The best place to go for a curry is ‘The Balti Triangle’ in Birmingham. It has the largest area of Indian restaurants in the country. Tom Cruise has frequented a restaurant there. Yes, we have a very long-standing love of Indian curries. The BIR (British Indian Restaurant) style curry was developed here to suit our tastes and then imported to other countries such as America, Australia, etc. I had an American friend in the 70’s. She came to live over here for a while with her English mother & American father. They never ate curries, or football (soccer). It was all pizzas, beef burgers etc.

Hi guys, Glasgow is thee place you need to visit. Tikka masala was invented here RIP M r Ali, no sub standard Indian restaurant will last 5 mins here. Seems the Chinese Curry sauce was also invented here. It's a place of great food from all over the planet, stunning architecture, beautiful parks/gardens and AMAZING museums (free), one of the oldest underground transport systems in the world. definitely open mikes, we have the best bands Simple Minds, Travis, Texas so many many more. Comedians Billy Connolly, Kevin Bridges, etc etc. As for Nessie, don't worry we know she's there and ok. The deal is she plays hide & seek with the visitors😉. I'll get back to you regarding the castles, but trust me You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet till you come to God's own Country.

I used to live in Stoke-on-Trent which had loads of great Balti houses and it was basically smack bang in the middle of the two most famous curry areas in the UK, the 'Curry Mile' in Manchester and the 'Balti Triangle' in Birmingham, the only reason to go to Stoke is if you love porcelain and pottery in general, as that's what the area is famous for, and not much else, so I'd suggest Manchester and just go for a cheap Balti somewhere, order a Chicken Tikka Balti and a Naan Bread and enjoy, after Stoke I moved to Brighton and I really struggled finding a decent Balti house in the south of England, or ones equal to those in the North and Midlands at least, there are some but I found it very hit and miss whereas up North they were all very good, there's a really good food review channel called FRC (Food Review Club) and they've been to some curry restaurants, I know they've been to the Balti Triangle.

In the 1980s with pubs shutting around 10.30-11.00 going for a curry was one way to extend the evening and continue drinking past midnight. Nightclubs had a no jeans policy so you might have to go home and get changed.

I'm wondering whether any of the food you eat at the market will actually be "British" - I have a feeling it won't be*...but I am sure it's delicious - I love eating there. *You went to the Yorkshire burrito place - that qualifies in my view.

Good question, well outside of the Yorkshire burrito this food is British food as in “ food that you can get in Britain but not “traditional British foods” you’d be surprised how many Americans treat the uk like a single restaurant…. “Well what if I don’t like British food ?!??!” …..well then try a different restaurant or don’t eat it and eat something else 🤣😂🤣😂

I have been to both the pubs you visited as I work in the area. The Fullers pub does good pies - I always go for the the steak and ale pie. Am looking forward to seeing you eat in Oxford - I also know the pubs quite well. And I would never go to a Toby Carvery - who TF still eats in those? I thought they closed in the 1970s. LOL

I think Weatherspoons is the only pub we would call by the chain name - it is very unique due to them all being set up by the same chain, usually from buildings that were not previously pubs. The other pub chains are pre-existing pubs that have been subsequently acquired by pub companies.

Firstly, Dishoom is mainly for tourists. I don’t know a single person who has ever eaten there. Secondly, very few ‘Indian’ restaurants in Britain are Indian. They are largely Pakistani or Bangladeshi. If you want traditional Indian cuisine you need to seek it out as you won’t find it in your local curry house.

I think when you say it’s not a typical curry menu, you mean, it’s not like an American curry menu. That menu would be based, more authentically Indian. In WW2 British food was rationed so that is where the bland food thing came from. It was a loooong time ago now. Get over it! British food now is very different. You might try getting out of London too. The UK is very different once you get away and cheaper.

We rephrase that multiple times made several jokes about how the curry we are looking for is a direct comparison from America to the UK an not India lol because most of American is what I believe to be more of the Punjabi style of Indian food. We just want something that would be everyday style food, I don’t think we actually made any remarks regarding the authenticity of the food. More of just the ambiance and how fancy the setting was.
