The British are not so obsessed with perfect looking teeth, they are concerned, however, with having healthy teeth.

[@etherealbolweevil6268]

Perfect meaning artificial.

[@brigidsingleton1596]

My teeth are not a good advert for British Dentistry as I've had only a very few good experiences (as a 12yo old, til that kind dentist - Mr Roberts - moved on to Private Practice and left the NHS Dental Surgery where I was then "_forced_" to go...!!) Later experiences _continued my abject fear of dentists / dentistry practices_ and eventually, after not attending _any_ for _literally_ decades... (And, following an 'ex'bf making me have a lot of my teeth extracted...) the ones I had left fell out one by one ...though I have one left, (for reasons best known to itself!!) 😟sorry folks to let the side down an' all that!! 🤔😐🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

I think the criticism of British food being not great during the war is actually insulting to our grandparents who were struggling to provide food for their families while supplies were severely rationed - it's why we were encouraged to grow our own produce turning back (and probably front) gardens into allotments to make the rations go further 🥔🍅🌿

I think some Americans do find the food in the UK tastes "bland" because they are used to the high amounts of sugar, salt and artificial supplements that are added to food in the US. They are less used to natural flavours. I am sure you will notice it when you return to the US and go back to eating the food there, after having eaten UK produced food, how much sweeter and salty the food there is.

[@narinderchander]

[@adriankirk4644]

As a Brit. I say this is a very fair assessment. Filling a glass with ice is a good way of making you pay for less product. A very smart trick in America. A glass of ice filled with coke will have 50% less coke than a glass filled with cold coke. Well done, hope you visit again soon, try the Lake District if you can.

[@36814]

I may be mistaken about this but I believe that the warm beer , bland food and absence ice were impressions carried by the huge numbers of US servicemen stationed there in UK during and after both WW1 and WW2 when it was no doubt a correct deduction . It could also account for the view that it always rains and possibly the unfriendly people as to be honest the Americans were often resented for joining so late in both wars . This on top of the fact that the British had endured years of rationing of food , clothes , fuel and other commodities and then they see Americans with unlimited supplies of the above as well as cigarettes , sweets ( candy ) especially chocolate and fresh fruit such as oranges and bananas which had not been seen in Britain for years.

[@tonys1636]

There was a saying in circulation during both wars about US servicemen in UK, "Over sexed, overpaid and over here". My Mother, a land girl during WWII, said that about the US airmen stationed at a near-by airbase.

[@gillianrimmer7733]

​@@tonys1636my mother's sister, my Auntie Myra, met and fell in love with a black GI who was stationed here during the war - my mum says he was a lovely man and often came for Sunday tea, bringing treats like chocolate and sweets with him. He was eventually sent to France, wrote regularly, survived the war and was shipped back to the States - Unfortunately, he wasn't allowed to marry my Auntie, by the military authorities, and was never allowed to come back to visit. My auntie was apparently heartbroken, and wanted to emigrate to the States to be with him, but it was against the law for them to marry in the USA because of race laws. It did eventually peter out, and she married my uncle - but I remember being so shocked about it when my mum told me the story.

There's a good video on here, a WW2 US Training film fronted by Burgess Meredith instructing new USA troops arriving in the UK on how to behave, particularly with regard to flashing their copious supplies, and how the UK has undergone a couple of years privation. Basically, be polite, wind it back, accept offers to visit homes graciously and understand the table most certainly won't be groaning.

[@Suspan1]

Everyone else in the world thinks our food bland. It used to be, for example Brussels sprouts, cabbage, tasteless cod boiled in water etc. i think we’ve moved on😂

[@robertwhite952]

If you drink proper beer chilled then it takes away the taste. Lager of course is served chilled.

[@johnclements6614]

It should be stored in the low teens, so a basement is good as that may be cool enough but not cold. If you don't have a basement then you will have to cool the room, certainly in summer or the beer will have a lot of secondary fermentation and oxidize quickly when tapped.

[@DEAN-kx2ms]

agreed but room temperature is not cold enough

[@DaydreamersBound]

Thank you for your comment and insight. Cheers 🤍 Jess x

[@simonpowell2559]

It's never room temperature. It's from a cooled cellar, so cool as real beer should be but not ice cold, ​@DEAN-kx2ms

[@secretarchivesofthevatican]

Traditional ales/beers in a pub = cellar temperature, which is usually cooler than room temperature. However, most people drink lagers which are usually chilled. Weather: I often see Americans from, for example, Arizona, saying how it rains much more than in the USA. The reality is that New York and Seattle get more rain than London. Food: we have at least the variety of food that the USA has, I think more.. The American concept of the UK having bad food goes back to US troops returning from the rationing during WW2. That's generations ago!

[@cyberash3000]

m british,, well English i think traditional british food is pretty Bland to be honest, but our foreign food is supurb

[@eanjamesmogg9488]

Thing is most of these misconceptions are based on 2nd world war realities, although the food was disgusting till the 70s at least but then we had realistic food due to the Common Market, then the EU later introduced the banning of all adatives that are bad for and still have in the US, example McDonald's fries... in the EU including the UK 2 ingredients in the US over 14 ingredients, so granted it tastes bland when Americans taste it as Americans are used to their food not tasting Natural as Euopeans taste fresh food you can actually taste, and US visitors after a few months eventually like our food..and yes I've been to the US and only went to Burger King who cook real meat and not McDonald's as nearly all their Meat products are reclaimed meat (basically scaping meat off the bones), oh and I had a philly cheese and steak sub from Subway, all of which I liked but they wouldn't be able to sell it in the UK now..lololol

[@mikesaunders4775]

I live in East Kent. It is officially semi-arid. Same rainfall as northern New Mexico.

[@stevetaylor8698]

It rains more often in London but not as hard

[@crackpot148]

It is not my experience that "most people drink lagers". If you qualified people with the adjective "young" you might be closer to the truth. At my three local village pubs the lowest on tap seller is lager. Yes, I have the luxury of a choice between three pubs all selling real ales. We tend to differentiate between beer and lager, the latter not even being considered to be beer.

[@andypandy9013]

That "Do you know the Royal Family" thing gave me some real fun when I was in the USA. Every time that I was asked if I knew The Queen my reply was always "Oh yes, she pops around to my house for Afternoon Tea on the first Thursday of every month. 4 o' clock sharp!" And they BELIEVED ME!!!!! 🤣 The food thing dates back to World War II when a lot of foreign military came over here. We were under extremely strict food rationing at the time and they just assumed that what we were eating then was our usual diet. Far from it. The food revolution here really got going in the 1960s and I would contend that we now have one of the best cuisines in the world. And definitely one of, if not THE, most diverse. 🙂 Thanks for the uploads. Keep 'em coming!!!

The rain is the price we pay for not being frozen from November to late March. The UK (and Ireland) are in the same latitude as Canada, Scandinavia and northern Russia. However the warm water from the Gulf stream prevents it from getting very cold in Winter. On the flip side, the warmer water tends to bring rainy weather more often than not. We're just in an awkward spot in the Atlantic Ocean.

@elemar5 to "serve" literally means to "bring forth food"; that is what a servant traditionally did. So while I agree that it sounds a bit more menial than other potential job titles, it is at least an accurate one.

Well said Jess. Another great video with observations that are so true and well put. Just a couple of comments; I’m English, don’t drink tea, never have, and am now used to that ‘what a weirdo’ look when folk discover that. London, again spot on, it’s only part of England but most visitors never go out of it then say they’ve been to England. No you haven’t. Tied in with that is our reputation for unfriendliness which in London, I live in south London, is probably true but break through the reserve, yes it does exist, especially on the Tube, and you have firm friends for life. Did you notice when you came to London that there are two walking speeds here, one is the normal country-visitor speed and the other ‘London speed’, twice as fast even if you’re in no particular hurry which might also explain the unfriendly tag. As for the Tube, it can be a scary place at first so; learn your north, south, east, west directions, as the Tube doors open very quickly look up to the top of the wall for platform directions left or right for the exit you require then go to the wall, wait ten seconds for the crush to depart, get your bearings, quietly move off without being bashed around and muttered at. Many thanks to you and your family for living off base, embracing your community and enlightening the rest of us to a part of the country we may not know too much about. Great driving in your other videos too by the way although being in south London I do envy you your open roads.

Hey, Jess! I drink more coffee than I do tea, but I like both!! I prefer my ale at a little below room temperature, but prefer my lager/pilsner chilled. Some of these flase impressions originate, as others have suggested, from US servicemen returning from WW1/WW2. YOu're right in suggesting that our food is generally good. To be fair, I've not had a bad meal in the US when I've visited, apart from the 'bacon' that needed tungsten-carbide coated teeth to eat it or a hacksaw to cut it (you and Chris covered that in a previous video)! Having lived in the London area, I much prefer to live outside. I'm now 300+ miles north-east here on Tyneside. Yes some of there impressions are false, but it's how your compatriots perceive what they've been told.

Hi, Re Tea, I agree we don't all drink tea, but most Brits know how to make tea, and most will have tea at home, for visitors, even if they don't drink it themselves. Most will offer tea to visitors, this will normally imply coffee or cold drinks. Coffee is often/normally instant. Re Beer, traditional English beer is ale or cider, these were traditionally served at cellar temperature, so cool but not cold, both can be heated, 'tho this is now rare. The standard beer in much of Europe and the US is Lager, which is traditionally served cold. Most pubs serve all these and generally serve at the correct temperature for the brew. Re Food, is bland in England, well maybe some truth, we have far less sugar in food specially in bread, we also use less salt and less MSG (a food additive) generally considered addictive. We also don't tend to have Mexican Food. Our Asian foods are not bland, mainly Indian and Chinese, but many others. We also tend to restrict the use of artificial colouring and flavourings.

Hi Jess, Hope you are well? Well done on getting most of it right and setting the record straight. However, The weather always throws up a Hornets nest of theories lol, but to be honest, we, like America, have seasons that can change dramatically, with either the La Nina or El Nino effecting both countries and the rest of the world. Most of our weather patterns come from the Atlantic and Jet Stream sends us a huge difference in our weather patterns, if the Jet Stream is higher than the Uk then we will have scorching hot weather, if it sits below the UK we can be assured it will be colder, with occasional strong storms. Seeing as we get a large amount of our weather which has started off in the U.S. we can pretty much guarantee, if you guys over there have had some Hurricanes, or Blizzards, there is a good chance we will have some kind of knock on effect from it all, which i guess shifts the blame lolololol. But in all fairness we do get other weather factors too, what we call, The Beast From The East, usually from Eastern Europe (Russia Etc) is pretty much going to be very cold and Snow usually follows close behind. We do get some even better warm weather also come up from Southern Europe and The Sahara, which can also bring extreme heat to us. As for the Rain, well it is not always as bad as it has been lately for sure, this year has been exceptional, but on average we get around 120- 150 days rain a year, but not all parts of the uk receive that, so it is an unfair statistic, as we, down here in the South West, do get our fair share of rain, but, we also do get more than average of wonderful sunshine. Where i live to, we have our own weather pattern that doesn`t always follow Weather forecasts. It is just a great place to be really. The ice you mentioned, most do not have Ice in any beers, Ales in general should be drunk non chilled with a few exceptions. Lagers or Lite Beers would generally be Chilled anyways, and if you put ice in a beer you are throwing money away to the seller as you get less drink you already paid for and it Waters it down losing most of the original tastes.

The beer we drink in UK pubs is almost always kept in and pumped up from unheated cellars so is cool but not so cold that it is tasteless. Taste is considered important here in the UK and we have loads of tasty beers. Many years ago refrigerated beers were tried out in our pubs but they were not a success. People would complain that the beer was so cold that it was rendered tasteless. I haven't come across refrigerated UK beers in decades. All mixers, sodas (and some bottled continental European beers) are kept in refrigerators behind the bar so ice is generally unnecessary. In many pubs and bars there are small ice buckets and tongs on the counter so that you can help yourself to ice if you want it.

Let's clear up this beer thing.... I believe it comes from the Real Ales that were served in small village pubs during the Second World War. East Anglia was turned into a massive aircraft carrier and thousands of Yanks flooded into an area that had very little modern infrastructure like mains electric, some villages weren't connected to the Grid until the early 1960s, so there was no refrigerated goods, only a cool cellar if you were lucky. This obviously isn't the case today, although it does depend on the type of thing you like to drink. Real Ale is generally cooled but not ice cold, Bitter tends to be less chilled than Lager, but none of it is served warm or at room temperature. There's apparently a difference in the way water is served in UK and USA, Americans always have iced water, but the UK is happy for it to just be chilled. I think climate is a lot to do with this, UK averages about 16°C so we don't need to cool drinks as much because it's not as hot - the whole of the main part of the USA is further south the most of the UK, so it's going to be hotter generally which is why the UK isn't so hot on having things as cold.
