One thing to really keep in mind when it comes to these US versus other country videos is that the US is very, very big and diverse. What is normal from someone who is probably from Generation z or Alpha is not going to be the same for everyone else across the gen or states. Where I come from, we had carpet in our bathrooms well into the 90s and started pulling them out about that time frame. Most places didn't actually have tile in the bathroom, that was a higher-end luxury thing for the price and also in the Midwest very cold to walk on, so we would use linoleum as a cheap alt. Tons of places where I live have pre-made sandwiches and meals! Just like that, you can go to the store or deli and they have pre-made stuff. Gas stations even and yes, we also have hot dogs, pizzas and other stuff too there! The USA does really focus a lot on the weather, some gen more the others, but we do very much use it as a conversation starter! She seems like she comes from a very well established family, probably health-oriented because the frosting was always something that kids ate where I'm from and as we got older we take it off because it's too sweet. But as a child we loved it, we eat frosting out of a can. LOL These are just few of the examples that I can think of right at the top of my head to show how very different we can be in the US and very much the same for some countries. We're just a huge melting Pot and some things do stay with going through generations generations. I would use "pop over" as a past or present tense and "swing by" as a future or present tense depending on how the sentence works.

The stations there definitely seem more accommodating than some of the ones here on the west-coast or south-west, though even then I see them. I don't remember if I saw as many on the east-coast.

Could you do one where you compare British culture with that of the American South? I feel like there are some interesting similarities. In the South, we check the weather daily as it constantly changes, and we keep raincoats and umbrellas everywhere (car, home, office) in case the weather sneaks up on us. Sandwich shops are not unusual - in fact very common, also common to have premade sandwiches in the grocery store. And referencing some of your other videos - My grandmother used to say, "Oh, go on!" if you said something outlandish or she was trying to be humble when you complimented her. We say, "I'll pop by for a quick hello." Sometimes you may hear (though mostly from an older generation), "Don't you give me that cheek!" when addressing a sassy child. "Ugly mug" is also not uncommon. And we drink tea all the day long. "Would you like a glass of tea?" is the first thing you ask a visitor to your house. Anyway, I'm sure there are many others. It'd be interesting to see how many.

Interestingly, the 'carpet in the bathroom' thing was quite a short-lived episode. Back in my childhood, 1950-1960, houses rarely had carpet throughout. It was more likely to be linoleum (lino) with rugs in the more 'comfortable' areas such as in front of the coal fire in the living room. A bathroom mat might also be found but it was literally just a mat by the side of the bath. Beds too often had a small mat at the bedside. Everywhere else was lino or even bare boards. It was only after about 1970 that fitted carpets became affordable and popular. Even then the bathroom was not generally served. I would guess carpeting in the .smallest room came in during the 80 and faded out gradually after 2000. Not wearing shoes indoors followed a similar pattern. It really has more to do with the advent of carpeting throughout.

Just to correct a translation error: It's "A cup of tea will solve any issue you're having", not "A cup of tea with salt you're having". We don't put salt in tea :) And the response was talking about the idea that a cup of tea CURES situations. Also, the English girl is confusing - a black tea with milk makes no sense; a black tea is a tea without milk. There are a few translation errors but I can't be bothered correcting all :)

When I was living in Japan I NEED to check the weather daily because you would need to use trains and walk a lot, and when it rains it pours so you really need an umbrella. Then when I lived in the UK the rain is always the small droplets type and your jacket and hoodie is usually enough for the short walk home or until you get to the bus stop. So yeah the Brits don’t really use umbrellas, but the type of rain they get there accommodates for that

Not sure about the pre-packing sandwich answer for the US. They are very common in gas stations/convienance store and deli sections of grocery stores. The way Lauren described it in the UK made me think it might be more varied (more options) than we get in the US as it often is a handful of options but still you can find pre-packaged sandwiches pretty easily. Also, in many areas of the US weather is a major topic of conversation. I grew up in Wisconsin (winter weather), lived in Oregon (lots of rain and overcast, very "British-y"), and now in Oklahoma (severe weather/tornadoes) and the weather is a very comon conversation starter and it is pretty common for most people to know the forecast. I could see people in southern California not feeling the need to check the weather as often, though.

Some of these explanations are so incorrect. For example the carpet in the bathroom issue. Nobody but nobody ever thought of putting carpet in their bathroom until around the 1970s when fluffy bathroom items (in sets) became popular in the Shops. The carpetting item was completely washable, just as the toilet-lid cover, entire toilet tank cover were totally washable. They were seldom made of true carpetting, but lighter raised fabrics.

Nice video! I think the best comparison for "oh go on then" is to be like "oh, you talked me into it". As an American, I kind of get the impression that "oh, go on then" means you were kind of hoping to be talked into it in the first place, like you were hoping to be coerced a little to feel less bad about dropping a small low-stakes obligation (like chores or studying or something).

The thing about America, is no one American can speak for all of America because the "culture" in every state is so different. For example, of course a Californian isn't going to check the weather. The weather doesn't change unexpectedly as much there. In the Pacific Northwest people here actually are a little weather obsessed because our weather can change drastically day to day or even in a 24 hour period. In Western Washington State, we also don't always use umbrellas. Partly because we are just so use to unexpected rain we don't care. Partly because it is often windy when in rains so your umbrella is a bit useless 😆 I don't know, I'm just saying i feel like depending on the age and hometown of the American you are talking to some of these British things wouldn't be as weird to them as they are to someone from Cali.

Yes, the US is so huge. I think it's similar everywhere, though. Some people in London might use an umbrella, but there are many areas where you couldn't, because it's too windy. I think things a certain county are meant to do, are always only going to apply to a few people. I've never heard of Freddos, my mother would never have bought a caterpillar cake for us, and carpeted bathrooms haven't been around since the 1980s. She's bang on the money with the weather and the tea, though. I think regardless of age, upbringing, region etc everyone talks/plans according to the weather, and most people drink tea, or regard it as a common custom, even if they don't drink it themselves.
@wistfulrain23702 жыл бұрын
I don't actually think it is like that for all countries, Jamie. I think in a lot of countries the climate is relatively the same throughout. The US is 40 times the size of the UK. We literally have 11 states in total that are bigger than the UK. California alone is the size of the Netherlands, Belgium, Slovenia, Switzerland, Austria, Luxembourg, Kosovo and Czech Republic combined. The "culture" and climate in just one state can be as varied as it is in some countries.
