American Reacts to 50 Pics That Prove The UK is Unlike Any Other Country (Part 2)

Entering the competitions on ITV when you were younger meant you had to ask your BILL PAYERS permission. i.e the person who owned the house/tv you were watching the ITV channel on had to give you permission to pay to enter the competition. When you're 18 in the UK you are legally seen as an adult and at that point can enter the competition anyway.

'Baby in board' car signs are supposed to be placed where the baby/ child/ pet is within the vehicle, so if you were to have a crash the emergency services immediately know that there is a baby/ child/ pet in the car and where so they can try to help them quickly.

It annoys me so much when people make fun of these signs. If a baby isn’t properly fastened into their car seat they can be ejected in a crash. That’s why parents are supposed to remove the sign when the baby isn’t on board. This sign lets emergency workers know to check the vehicle and surrounding area thoroughly if the driver is incapacitated (or dead) and the baby isn’t in the seat. It’s sad that so many people overlook the seriousness and importance of these signs.

I think they're based on Essex girls. But there's also a TV program called The Only Way is Essex, or Towie for short. One of these so called reality shows.

Texting in was usually fairly expensive for a text, like £1-2, and they’d pick a winner from everyone that sent in the correct answer to win a large amount of money or a car or holiday or something. It was basically like a raffle but they had to make it a question to satisfy some sort of law so they’d make the question overly simple so more people would enter. They’d always say at the end like the terms and conditions and it was usually like “you have to be 18 or older to enter and ask for the bill payers permission”. Basically ask the person who was paying for the phone contract and in turn the entry text permission to spend their money on an entry. I know they say if you have to explain a joke too much it isn’t funny, but i like this one 😂

As our population outgrew the existing schools a temporary measure was Pre-Fabricated Classrooms.

As it's a premium number, they always state you need permission from the person who pays the phone bill before you call, ergo, the bill payer. This guy's name just happens to be Bill Payer. He probably gets trolled a lot like this.

[@oliverknagg5109]

Lots of the red telephone boxes don’t work anymore but worry not! We don’t usually just get rid of them, lots of them stay up for decoration or are put to other uses like housing public defribulators or are made into public book swaps. If it needs to be removed they are often sold off to people who will keep on display

[@Maria-z7h5b]

Bo point explaining any of these to you, as you never read the comments

[@chrysalis4126]

When ever they do a phone in competition where they charge a premium for the call they always say ask the bill payer first.

Haulage truck : Ed die / Sto bart a popular UK firm. The seagull was in Haddenham Buckinghamshire 1st July 2019. They called him Vinny after a Vindaloo. He was not the first seagull to attempt a disguise. Welsh Italian Pizza

[@nolaj114]

Oh I love that they called him Vinny! 😂

[@JarlGrimmToys]

For the context of the funeral directors. It was during the covid pandemic and people and businesses were thanking the NHS, and clapping for nurses etc. It’s just that at a funeral directors it could be interpreted in another way.

[@Gohka]

Clarkson, May and Hammond is a reference to Jeremy Clarkson, James May and Richard Hammond. The three presenters of Topgear (when it was good). You've likely seen many memes with Jeremy Clarkson in he's very quotable lol. "Spark out" means "knock out". Though it is hilarious, I imagine that Funeral Director had the "thank you NHS" sign in the window because of covid, we were all putting up signs and standing on the street and clapping for the NHS during the lockdowns. Though replacing the red telephone boxes with those glass monstrosities was an idiotic idea. Now days almost none of those glass ones remain while there are still quite a few of the red ones. Can't believe they cut out the rest of that X-men meme. Sat on the sofa just to the left off camera is Hugh Jackman, in both pictures. Adds a whole other layer of hilarious to the meme. Do not feel bad for the seagull, it likely did that to it's self either tearing it's way in to someone's rubbish bags or by attacking someone who was holding a take-away curry, bastard birds. Also it seemed like you completely missed that the guys in the picture in the "Zante waiter" meme were David Beckham and Elton John lol.

[@TCTurner]

TV competitions in the UK, there's always a "small print" speed read which usually at near unintelligible speed tells you terms and conditions, charges, additional charges etc, and to ask the Bill Payer's permission

[@bobingabout]

8:33 Those aren't all that common, but they're the "Your entire suit on one hook" kind of hanger.

[@alunchurcher7060]

The bill payer makes reference to there being a cost to phone TV competitions are that cost can mount up in total price, The bill payer refers to the person who has to pay the telephone bill.

[@kriss3907]

The baby on board signs are more for first responders if you are in an accident. It lets them know there is a child or infant that may need attention before you. Save our baby then come back for me kind of deal. May I suggest looking up some of these terms and slang you are not familiar with? Many thanks 👍

[@jamielamy1393]

4:01 the village I grew up in still has a red phone box. It gets decorated for holidays and has its own instagram page 😅😂

[@carolynekershaw1652]

The old telephone boxes are red, except in Hull, where they are cream and don't have the Royal crest thing on them.

[@christinestromberg4057]

Houghton is pronounced as Howton or Hawton. Competitions always say "always ask the bill payer;'s permission' when using the phone. the school buildings were temporary. Supposedly. I've had one of those Amazon things. They left the package with a receptionsit at a student block nearby.

[@khyron8509]

Its not the ramp that was supposed to be temporary its the entire building, they even occasionally tear down the temp buildings and then replace then with more temp buildings just to throw you off.

[@scrappydoo7887]

That earthquake bit is a gem

[@robcrossgrove7927]

Banksy is an anonymous graffiti artist who is famous for drawing/painting pieces of work that often point out the hypocrisy of mankind. He's a very talented artist, and very good at making these statements. He might leave a piece of work on the side of a building or public walkway or somewhere, and sometimes people try to cut them out and take them home. His works are worth lots of money. Nobody knows who he is, (allegedly).

[@paolomargini7904]

In Bristol there are people who know who he is, but won't tell you.

[@wils35]

3:14 Tyler Rumple To enter the competition you need to ring a phone number which costs more than a normal phone call, So the people hosting the competition always in the small writing will write, Please ask the Bill Payer for permission to call before you do so. So he has literally asked Bill Payer (person) for permission rather than the person that pays the bill. 3:45 The telephone boxes got changed as the older red ones had real glass panes and due to the people in this world becoming scummier every year, people started smashing the windows on the red phone boxes which obviously became too much so they replaced them with those BT phone boxes that had the plasticky perspex windows that did not smash.

[@elliegrace757]

Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James may were the hosts of Top gear, a very British TV programme about cars.

[@nathangamble125]

I initially read the title of this video as "American reacts to 50 *pies* that prove the UK is unlike any other country". I thought "yeah, we have a lot of weird pies. That sounds about right".

[@hennakettunen8755]

Can't forget the hot toothpaste pie.

[@Allenc873]

The Amazon one she must have the recipient was receptionist lol and it was "Welsh Italian Pizza"

[@harrydavey9884]

That Thank You NHS is hilarious. People hang that in their windows in the UK, usually to virtue signal. The funeral director hasn't realised the irony of what they've hung in their window. - a Geordie is somebody from Newcastle, they call everyone "pet". - Spark out, means Knockout. - Welsh Italian Pizza....wel shit alian pizza

[@pqrs_987]

3:15 "Bill Payer" as in the one who pays the bills (some online contests tell kids to ask permission from the parent who earns / pays the bills) 11:48 search for 'bunny chow', a popular food in South Africa 12:23 the building itself looks like it was supposed to be a temporary structure, not just the ramp 13:49 yes, a covid variant. can't remember if it was before or after Omicron 15:25 those are look-alikes of the three guys who once upon a time hosted Top Gear, a car show on BBC 15:53 that applies to large office buildings 16:48 neither do i, but in the pic, Boris looks ready to punch the lady 17:02 Geordie - someone from Newcastle (Northern England) 18:26 Welsh Italian Pizza

[@pob4117]

They wasn't talking about the rap, it's the building, they was talking about the temporary building itself, in all British schools they popped up as temporary solution for extra classrooms, And the mobile buildings never left

[@anonahawkins7230]

The pavement at about 20 minutes has three inspection covers which have been replaced in the wrong order - hence abstract art.

[@IorekBear92]

The pizza one was Welsh Italian Pizza, but they changed it for a bit of word play.

[@TimGooding-dn4or]

Baby on Board is just that in case of a accident and the adults are knocked out or worse , just makes the rescuers aware there may be a child on board, The weird bricks are a man hole cover that has been put back in place back to front .

[@Rhiannonganon]

With tv competitions, they always say you need to ask form permission from the bill payer as in the phone bill lol

[@TCTurner]

Should've waited and consolidated but... the Baby/Children Onboard signs for cars are more for emergency services. If you're ever in an accident where they're required, it's so they know where to priorise if there's a multi car pile up etc

[@weejackrussell]

The way the lorry has turned around is called jackknifing, it is when the front twists round in a skid.

Hey everyone out there in comment land. Please note that Tyler never ever ever reads his comments or replies to them, he does not even acknowledge he has received any either. So please save your energy and do not bother asking him anything or tell him anything at all. On this site I mainly converse with other commentators.

[@amy-j5b5s]

i said this over a year ago thats why i unsubscribed.

[@alimar0604]

Hi Elizabeth, he's always asking for comments tho? 🇬🇧

[@tracey3426]

​@@alimar0604so that he gets more money. The more people engage the more it will show up in other people's recommendations, then more views. As far as I've seen, he has never acknowledged anything anyone has posted!

[@james-om1wd]

He has in one video quite recently about London.

[@nolaj114]

​@@alimar0604 yes..he needs people to comment to boost his You Tube algorhythms and get more $$$. It's like 'click bait'. He never intends to reply/read. I have watched his videos on and off for over a year and has never interacted with Commenters on any of them. I feel sorryfor the people who spend a lot of time explaining things to him as they are wasting their time. I unsubscribed because of it, but still watch sometimes to reply to other Commenters.

[@Robinem]

I rarely see payphones/ phone booths you can still use in the UK (live in Bolton, from the one where the woman who said she wouldn't leave the house... Outside her house) anymore, if I do they are something else but I think "smart payphones" didn't take off. Cause what looks like what could be the only one left near me was intended for something else. But I can confirm that towards the end I was seeing more of the iconic red ones than those other ones.

[@mikesmith7102]

That one with the grass on the Scottish border is laugh out loud and so true.

[@Yesser-Thistle73]

It reminds me of the play on words... Not "grow your own" but instead, 'Mow your own' !!
