The reason your burgers were not spicy is so you can taste whatever you are eating i.e chicken or beef. In the States they add spices to mask the taste of the chlorine in the chicken or growth agents in the beef.

Really glad you took a break to catch your breath and rest your feet. You can't enjoy a trip if you're too tired. Our plug points are universally agreed to be the safest in the world. Central heating is run off a central boiler. Each radiator then has its own thermostat so you can regulate the temperature room to room.

A lot does depend house to house, most houses would have tumble dryers, just depends on the size of the house. Some washing machines actually do both nowdays. As for cupboard designs...all down to choice, most houses don't have cupboards like that. Showers, again down to choice, I hate the showers without the removable head

[@lynnejamieson2063]

I’d say that in general, burger is used in the UK to define the style and presentation. If you were to request a chicken sandwich in the UK you’d likely receive some form of cooked chicken (most probably slices or chunks of roast chicken) between two slices of bread along with whatever else you have requested or is noted as the filling and with a little salad and maybe some crisps on the side, where a chicken burger, you know it’s likely to be either breaded or battered, more often than not one large piece served in a burger bun with established condiments and or toppings, the side will almost always be some type of chips, fries or wedges too. Oh and dryers are purely about personal preference in the UK. I live on my own and don’t really feel that I have a great need for one but pretty much everyone else in my family has one. To be honest though, if both the temperature and wind strength are in that sweet spot (which happens more than you’d think here), it doesn’t take that much longer to dry things outside on the washing line than it does to tumble dry them. Which is better for both the environment and your clothes etc…it also eliminates that chance of shrinking woollens by having them in the dryer for too long on too high a temperature…though it can increase the chances of stretching them if you don’t hang them right.

[@jonathangoll2918]

Your hosts have a lovely Northeastern accent. It is generally reckoned not to be an easy accent to follow. Did you realise that Wallsend is literally tne end of Hadrian's Wall, built 122 AD? Much of the eastern end is buried under Newcastle-upon-Tyne. (By the way, you should sometimes say 'Newcastle-upon-Tyne'. This is because there's a fair-sized town (city?) further south, in Staffordshire, whuch is called Newcastle-under-Lyme.

The off-shore winders. The UK owns the four largest win farms anywhere in the world, and six of the top ten largest. It provides for about 27% of the country’s power needs.

[@AlanMacleod-hv5ee]

27% only when the wind blows. For weeks on end the wind doesn't blow that much and the 12,000 wind turbines installed in the UK only supply around 3 to 5% of our electrical energy.

It's much like the claim that having solar on your roof provides a household with enough electricity for a year. Unfortunately 95% percent of it is generated in the summer months and practically zero when it is needed most on a cold winter's night.

[@bordersw1239]

@@AlanMacleod-hv5ee . I’ve never seen anyone claim solar will power the house the whole year. There are however solar users that build up enough credit on their accounts that they have minimal electricity bills through winter. in the U.K. ideally you need solar with battery storage. Payback is somewhere between 6-10 years.

[@domramsey]

I don't think the garden / yard terminology is as different as some people think. It's simply that 99% of British have grass & plants. So they absolutely fit your definition of a "garden". Admittedly a lot of the time it's totally neglected or overgrown, but you'd very rarely see a yard with no vegetation behind a UK home.

[@TrevM0nkey]

you'll see lots... a 'back yard' is what you'd refer to it as in an old terraced house due to the size and that there's no garden area or room to have one. If you're down South then your explanation would seem right, but if you're up North you're more likely to be close to numerous factory towns with rows and rows of terraced houses.
