I think you made a very good point about the news coverage in the UK when compared with the United States. When I lived/worked in the US I found the news coverage really insular. The news outlets only really talked about what was happening in the States and events in the rest of the world were pretty much ignored unless there were American armed forces involved. The UK is far more outward looking and engaged in what is happening around the world. I liked and admired that.

It's interesting to see how others see us. London started out as little villages that grew into one big city that's why each part still has it's own individually character. It's the fourth most expensive city in the world to live in . It is most cosmopolitan , it is possible to walk down the road and hear 200 different languages spoken . The rest of Britain is very different in character to London.

I see that Tyler is lacking in engaging in the questions and comments so I want to add something that people are not getting regarding the news. In England, like Tyler said, the News is a big deal not only within the country but in many others also. However, it means that people are very cognizant of the world and what the world goes through with big events. It was in the houses of parliament where Theresa May (the PM) gave a short mention of the remembrance of Pearl Harbor day. When does the USA government (Senate or congress) give mention of any events outside of the USA? Just an example. Great video Tyler!

Excuse me but Primark is NOT a UK thing. It's IRISH🇮🇪. It's called Penny's. It opened decades ago in Ireland 🇮🇪 and there are penny's stores all over Ireland. It's quintessential Irish brand like Guinness, tayto crisps, riverdance ect. When the company expanded and wanted to open stores outside of Ireland they had to change the name because in the US there is a brand called JC Penny's. So basically it's called Penny's in Ireland but anywhere outside of Ireland like in the US or UK the stores are called Primark. Again it's an irish brand store NOT British.

What did you do for a living in London? I'm planning to live there next year as a hotel receptionist and I have no idea if I'll be able to make a living out of it
@76juno336 жыл бұрын
Sorry, I know your question was addressed to the young lady in the video but I was in a similar situation a couple of years ago. The simple answer is that London is expensive with a capital 'E' and a hotel receptionist job does not pay big money. Much depends on what your accommodation arrangements will be but if you are intending to live on your own in some kind of apartment then I honestly think you might struggle. To answer your specific question you won't make much of a living out of it. Having said that, if you can manage financially then you will be living and working in what I consider to be the greatest city in the world, so if you can cope with the likelihood of living modestly then I would say go for it. Good luck.

@derekdelboytrotter88816 жыл бұрын
The reason we drive on the left has NOTHING to do with Napoleon!! We drive on the left because it’s all to do with keeping your sword hand free! In the Middle Ages you never knew who you were going to meet when travelling. Most people are right-handed, so if a stranger passed by on the right of you, your right hand would be free to use your sword if required. (Similarly, medieval castle staircases spiral in a clockwise direction going upwards, so the defending soldiers would be able to stab down around the twist but those attacking (going up the stairs) would not.) Indeed the ‘keep to the left’ rule goes back even further in time; archaeologists have discovered evidence suggesting that the Romans drove carts and wagons on the left, and it is known that Roman soldiers always marched on the left. This ‘rule of the road’ was officially sanctioned in 1300 AD when Pope Boniface VIII declared that all pilgrims travelling to Rome should keep to the left.
