I always thought America did Christmas crackers 😂 i would of thought Christmas pudding was a thing in the US seeing many migrants would of brought it to the Americans - although it may of had a different name. I know a recipe was in a old American cookbook from 1742...you learn something new.

I used to feel like the UK was great, but reading these negative comments about the appreciation of the military in the US has changed my mind, I can't believe you would degrade those in your families for their service in the previous wars, but maybe you actually are such jerks that you would do that.

UK - TV News historically was highly regulated to be impartial, there was no option pieces to camera. Recently with GB News, Talk TV and to a lesser extent Sky News, that's changed. But these stations are on thin ice, I'd expect soon they'll be censured (not censored!) under the new government. Newspapers (dead tree media as it's called) is dying, it's always been terminal decline for years as is now just largely a biased version of what happened yesterday, most of the widely selling newspapers in the UK for a targeted at a reading age of less than 12.

Omg please watch jimmy carr his dark material

I think I'm in Love :} 🤩

Moving the the UK must still be a shock to you. These things you're pointing out are rude HERE. And actually, if we go out to eat and you don't know enough to place your utensils together when you're finished, not only would I be embarrassed for you...we couldn't be friends. LOL!

Try coming up to Scotland where we have many different things to eat... Black pudding, white pudding, mealy pudding, haggis, tattie scones, Cullen skink, cranahan, Scotch pies, stovies, fresh fish particularly haddock and herring ..... and of course, the healthy wonder-food... porridge!!

Meghan markle fans act like cult members...

Maybe if the American spoke proper English it wouldn't be such a problem but they chose to alter the spelling to try and make English easier for people to understand hence the problems understand true English.

Christmas Pudding used to be mixed up on Stir Up Sunday which was the last Sunday before Advent

And yet mostly all British sitcoms Americans have copied have failed apart from The Office.

Americans like their happy endings - lots of European movies that have tragic endings are remade with happy endings to the US market. It's kind of strange. Good always has to prevail. Check out the differences in the two versions of Speak No Evil.

I'm American and we had Christmas Crackers growing up. Also, Christmas Pudding sounds fantastic and we need to have a Boxing Day here in the states.

Wait staff in the U.S. DO NOT give you your bill as soon as they bring your food, you are wrong about that.

Nailed it!

The last one was spectacular. 'You don't know how to do the washing up' I do, it's called a washing machine, and cheaper and less energy intensixe. Keep it up, GGL, lots of fun, thanks. Hang on to your accent if that's you. Come visit Edinburgh (not now, it is dark and horrid cold)

Yes but aren't Americans indoctrinated from a young age,surely things like the pledge of allegiance are an attempt by a government to create a nation of people who dont question anything

This is not true to all of America. Im from the southern US. We are not this rude.

Inov8 waterproof hiking boots are much softer and comfier than other more traditional hiking boots, they do waterproof hiking boots and running shoes, if you ever visit the Lake District pop into a shop in Kendal called Pete Bland Sports which is one of the best trail shoe shops in the country.

As a born and bred English woman this made me chuckle. I didnt realise until you said how the things we say arent necessarily what we mean. It just come automatically to us.

The thing I find most incredible about The Snowman is that the creator, Raymond Briggs, is really only known for one other film which is When The Wind Blows, which follows an elderly British couple during and in the aftermath of Nuclear War. Like The Snowman, it's an animation. Family viewing. With a soundtrack by David Bowie and Roger Waters of Pink Floyd. I kid you not. You should watch it.

In 50 years, the UK will be an Islamic country.

Swings and roundabouts, “what you gain on the swings you lose on the roundabouts “. In other words, when choosing between two options, courses of action, routes, etc, neither is better or worse overall than the other

Where the heck in America are you from? Literally have never experienced any of this

At Christmas time in the U.K| it's MUCH more likely to be a GERMAN or possibly Scandinavian type Christmas Market (something weve done here in more recent years, but not always).

Turtle is not the generic term for these animals. Turtle is a corruption of the French word for the group of shelled reptiles. English people actually called them all tortoises first (land and sea tortoises). The word turtle came later and has only ever meant the sea dwelling variety in English. Both terms used respectively predate the existence of the USA. It’s just American lazy use of English to use turtle for both, nothing technical or historical about it. American English is just a local dialect of proper English. Dropping the use of rules of the country of origin doesn’t give any special claim to correct usage. Imagine a Canadian trying to claim their limited version of French as the correct one, because Celine Dion, Mike Myers and Justin Bieber 😂

I can clearly see the advantages for Americans moving to the U.K (weather permanently or on Work Visas) Not just the obvious stuff- NHS, dental treatments, 4-5 weeks paid holiday a year, plus sick pay, NOT including Bank Holidays. Boxing day etc. BUT there is also the fact that you are paid the equivalent salary in pound Sterling, that you would get in the States, but for any one British moving/working in the U.S, there are NONE of these advantages.

The whole point of Brown tourist signs is they blend into the scenery but are still visible, a glaring Red or Rainbow one would look out of place and be an eyesore.

Turkey is definitely the most popular xmas dinner meat and has been for a hundred years, but goose is probably the most traditional eaten long before turkeys came to the UK and still enjoyed by many. Other very traditional meats being beef, venison, pork and game birds.

Thanks for the videos I hope you and your family have a merry Christmas.

Queues, I remember the fights people have had to get in first at the open of a new Primark in Britain, please people it can't get that much cheaper. I have only been to the U.S.A a few times but I have always found them to be polite, welcoming, positive and very friendly, thank you.

A good Christmas tradition in the UK is the excessive amount of football around Christmas. There is basically 12 hours of Premier League football on Boxing Day with all the professional English & Scottish leagues piling in a crazy amount of matches over the subsequent week.

Did you know it's illegal to take Christmas crackers into the US? I've heard a story about a man who put a box of them in his luggage & the sniffer dog picked them out when he arrived. The TSA guys asked him what was in the suitcase & the poor guy was very confused because he didn't know that he couldn't take them. 😂 And the UK is the right place for you if you like tasteless beige food. We are the experts on that. 🇬🇧💪🏻

I disagree with what you are saying about pub going at Christmas, Not everyone goes to a pub on Christmas Eve and certainly very few would abandon their children to do so! People might drink at home and it would be usual to have a glass of sherry or spirits at midnight along with a mince pie. Are you sure that the people you know are typical? There are a lot of houses with massive inflatable Christmas decorations and hundreds of lights, it might be that you are in London where people don't have big enough front gardens to put them.

I see you are famous now as The Daily Mirror are talking about you. Keep up the good work ( and videos) Rob

🍴 are placed at 5’oclock on the plate if you want to be fancy.

My Christmas isn't complete without popping this on, on Christmas Eve. Have done it for 40 years. ☺🎄🎅☃

t's been a tradition, since I was small to watch The Snowman 1982, on Christmas Eve. A tradition I've kept, even when I live on my own. It's more for nostalgia now. Some of my family's past away, but I still feel that connection with them when it's on.

BBC stands for BRITISH BROADCASTING CORPORATION not COMPANY, therefore some off the answers themselves are WRONG

Dont forget america invented christmas

Try charcoal cheese.

It basically is the same as the US, just replace NHS with insurance, for the vast majority of people. My PCP(primary care physician) works with several Drs and I can see any of them (insurance company owns the practice btw) and I need a referral for any specialist and with prior authorization & limited providers in network I've had to wait months for surgery every time I had one. The only practical difference is that I pay 3x what I would in taxes etc for less and worse care here in the USA vs the UK. $5076 or £4054 and I have gotten maybe a third of the care my Dr said I needed.

I eat my peas with honey; I've done it all my life; It makes the peas taste funny, But it keeps them on my knife.

"Believe in magic, and let people steal your stuff ". Lol. And nothing dies. I never saw the American one, but I'm sure I got no problem with it. It's idealism Vs realism

I’m not a fan of Christmas pudding 🤢

Listen to the song!

After listening to the opening of the video I was saying to myself "ok, challenge accepted. There's no way you can say anything that I haven't already heard". Then literally the first entry and I was "Wow, really? Ok, I guess you were right". Ok, I'm editing this comment after seeing the second entry. "I knew Americans were dramatic, but WTF". If you said something like this in the UK people would just assume you were taking the piss.

I'm English, and never been to the US, but I'm probably more American style. Cheese on its' own just seems weird lol I tend to put huge amounts of grated cheddar on the top of pizzas, I like it on toast with Worcester sauce, I put small amounts on omelettes. And the not-cheese cheese is perfectly fine in burgers. I enjoy McDonald's too

You're unfair to Emily! If water is warm enough to pour, it's warm enough to melt the frost on your windSCREEN. While the water is still liquid, switch on your wipers: this will leave the SCREEN dry, with nothing on it to freeze! (Americans say, "We invented the car, so it's windSHIELD!": we Brits say, "We invented the language, so it's windSCREEN!".) Have a very happy Christmas!
