Sam Hecht, a British inventor, invented the key board. The US. Changed it to suit what they needed, the British have never changed their keyboard

[@gabbymcclymont3563]

I was saying that to myself, thanks.

[@iantellam9970]

This is not true for computer keyboards which have evolved a lot in every country over the last few decades. While the QWERTY layout hasn't changed in English speaking countries, nearly everything else has changed many, many times. Key differences (pun intended) in keyboard layout, such as the size of the enter and modifier keys and other key placements, have happened since then and weren't standardised until the ISO and ANSI standards were settled in the mid-eighties. Variations prior to that, on both computers and typewriters varied greatly between manufacturers - you only need to look at old computers to see that keyboards clearly differed in keyboard layout throughout the 80s. This is true even between British-made computers - a BBC Micro has a different layout to a Sinclair Spectrum or a Dragon 32 - and these differences in layout were much greater than US vs UK keyboards are today.

[@Otacatapetl]

Every country has its own keyboard, and why shouldn't they? Many years ago I went into an Internet café in France and had to ask where the full-stop was...

I am French but have been a Flight attendant for an US carrier for 13 years. So I interacted mostly with travelling US citizens, which means less self-centered ones. I could write a book about their lack of interest for others countries, other habits, their general lack of geography knowledge, and this idea they have that they live in the best country of the world and 'do it' the best way, period (I am speaking in general, I know lots of exceptions). Once, during a flight, a mid-age guy was watching through the window as we were reaching Brussels (Belgium...) and he turned to me and said 'The moon in Europe is so different from ours!' Sometimes, US citizens would complain that we don't have enough Mc Donalds in Paris (France...). On a San Francisco/Paris flight, a guy seated in Business asked for my nationality and after I replied, he said 'Oh ! So do you live in Madrid (Spain...)?' As far as eggs, we do have brown eggs and yes, they stay out of the fridge. Our culture doesn't rate consumerism as an art, and coupons aren't a thing. I did travel of course, and will do, but I don't personally know of any friend or family member not having crossed the French boarder at least once (twice for the way back!;)) : they all came back with interesting cultural visits to tell or informations about foods and habits. Most of them visited part of the United States and were thrilled by the adventure : beautiful landscape and cities, nice people, interesting food... Opening yourself to other countries is a great way to enrich your life and open your mind. It's even better if you speak another language or two, if you were taught at school about world geography and history. Arrogance is an art in France, I agree, but I see 'Americans', as they fraudulently call themselves (America is a continent, Canadian, Mexican and Brazilian are Americans too), as ruthless teenagers mocking the members of their family all the time, when they don't have any clue of who those individuals really are and think that nothing but themselves is important and that they know it all. Well, your French cousin here loves you but can't wait for you to realize that not only taking an interest in those family members is a way to show respect, but it is also a great way to be greater.

Eggs are to do with salmonella. We have better conditions at farm level, including vetinary care which means we don't wash the eggs, as we treat salmonella at farm level. In America, standards are different, so you wash the eggs before the store to remove salmonella, but instead have to refrigerate because the eggs protective layer has been removed.

[@nathanthom8176]

The funny thing is that the US has far more Salmonella cases per capita than the UK and in fact has more deaths per capita from Salmonella than UK survived cases. How many of these are via eggs in particular I can't find but it points to the general low quality of thier poultry and poor animal husbandry.

[@jonathanwetherell3609]

Close but the USA washes their eggs as they are filthy, covered in chicken poo. The salmonella is already in the eggs and is controlled at farm level and the system keeps the eggs clean. Washing does indeed remove the natural coating.

[@CarlAlex2]

The unwashed shell protects the interior from the salmonella - that is why we keep it unwashed in Europe. Birds do not infect their unhatched babies with salmonella. The big salmonellla issue is with the meat - where US chickens are washed with clorine rather than use proper food hygeine. If an egg is inedible due to bacteria fresh from the shell I think it would be rotten and easily detected.

[@Cunning.Stunt.777]

They bleach (wash the chicken carcass in chlorine) because they only have battery/caged chickens, no health and hygiene laws, and no FREE RANGE!! not surprising they bleach the eggs too. 🤷🏼‍♀️

[@diddsdaddiddsdad6865]

I live in an English village and we can buy our eggs from houses that have chickens. They put the eggs out to buy ,there’s a honesty box to pay. The eggs come up all sorts of colours. Light blue,white,brown and light brown. Free range eggs are the best.

[@kvongrad]

I’m Canadian. Even in cities you can keep hens in your yard. I do not but have several friends that do and get most of my eggs from them. Eggs abound here, no need to shop at a Walmart. Marketplace is a good source to find someone local for fresh eggs, meat and produce.

[@karlbmiles]

Denver now allows 10 chickens and 2 goats on a residential lot. Pretty strange for modern city, but we have a lot of immigrants from Latin America that demand it. @@kvongrad

[@Outnumberedbykidsandcats]

Yeah every village I’ve lived in does that and it’s lovely. In the village my mum lives in you can also go straight to the farm to buy your milk. Sadly you still can’t buy it raw since it’s illegal, but it’s still nice to buy the milk directly from the farmer.

[@organrick]

You can do that in the US too, if you live in a more rural area, and yes, they come in different colors. It doesn’t have to be eggs either, it might be a place (stand) that sells fruits or vegetables, maybe other items as well. Sometimes, they sell them at farmers markets, or people that are farmers that go to the church would sell them to people at church (in my experience, but probably other places also that they might go to), and at my former church, a farmer that went to the church brought eggs for the Sunrise Breakfast on Easter. When I did my last job, for a medical transportation company, I would get my eggs from one of the passengers that had chickens. In supermarkets in the US, they sell both white and brown eggs, but not normally ones in the other colors.

[@helloshiny8475]

I sell my eggs at my letterbox. I mix up the colours and call it a choc box. I also put a FREE sticker on eggs that are over 2 weeks old. they are still good. I have blue, green, white, brown, olive and my best colour...dark olive, and cream, cream pink. The dark olive eggs can get real dark, I took a photo of them in a bowl of kiwifruit and at first glance you can't tell the difference, The dark olive eggs come from mixing a blue egg chook with a brown egg chook. the offspring hens will lay olive gas. then next season, put a brown egg rooster over that olive egg paying chook and her offspring hens will lay the dark olive eggs. it's just like mixing paint. I've put a brown egg rooster over my two dark olive egg laying hens this summer so hoping for an even darker olive egg from the chicks, will find out in April or May.

[@gdok6088]

Clipping out coupons seems like something from the last century. We are much more 'paperless' nowadays in the UK. You might have an electronic club card for discounts, but messing about looking for coupons in your wallet or purse takes too long and it's a pain!

[@iriscollins7583]

And having to buy puplicatiions, How much do for they cost you?

[@eaglehaze1600]

Having worked in a Tesco recently, people definitely still have paper vouchers, and sometimes even stamp booklets which save you a pound per stamp (I've have someone save over £40 with that before). My parents keep any vouchers they have on the fridge. I definitely wouldn't say the UK is as obsessed as the US about them, but they do exist and are commonly used, along with clubcards and electronic vouchers of course.

[@Maynards_so_blue]

Most often people look for discounts in store

[@bethel1019]

​@eaglehaze1600 I usually find that the coupons in the Tesco magazines are for things I would never buy, so they're no use to me.

[@XiOjala]

The reason you wash eggs and then have to refrigerate them is because they come covered in crap. And they come covered in crap because you keep chickens in tiny metal cages where they can't help but shit on their eggs. The minimum animal welfare standards (you might have to Google Animal Welfare) here mean that chickens can be kept intensively in a barn where, at least, they can run around. Almost everybody here buys free range eggs where the chickens are kept out of doors in a paddock. And don't get me started on why you have to wash your chickens in chlorine and we don't.

[@CW1971]

We do still have some caged hens in the UK, I presume they have some sort of roll away system to stop the eggs getting covered in crap. And the barn kept ones aren't much better off. I've bought ex commercial chickens from both set ups and they come on fine once they get into nicer surroundings. There are a few charities that rescue them from egg farms when they're coming to the end of being commercially useful, the farmers don't usually care either way as long as they get paid the same amount as the meat man would pay them

[@XiOjala]

@@CW1971Yes, I've bought ex battery hens too. It's heartbreaking how they stand on grass and press it with their feet because they've never seen it before. But, a you say, they come on fine after a day or two.

[@kenholst3541]

Also free range chickens run a great risk of being killed by predators in the u.s.

[@IkarosWaltz]

Free range actually means they just have access to the outside, not necessarily that they spend a lot of time there. Organic I believe is when the chickens actually spend most of their time outside.

[@Maerahn]

Here in the UK, when it comes to using phone options, we call what you call "the pound sign" "the hash key," if that helps. 🙂 And yeah, if we see white-shelled eggs in the UK, we'd probably assume they were duck or goose eggs - or at least, some exotic type of egg that's gonna cost us more to buy. Brown eggs are our 'default,' if you like. And honestly, they'll last a good couple of weeks just out on the open, at room temperature, without any ill-effects or decline in quality. And yeah, I think a lot of people don't consider the difference in attitude that can result from living in a VAST country like America compared to a tiny island like the UK. In America, it's completely possible to get on a plane, fly for EIGHT HOURS SOLID, and then, when you land, STILL BE IN AMERICA, with the same stores, language and culture as where you flew from. Whereas in the UK, you can get on a plane and, if you fly more more than only TWO hours in pretty much ANY direction, you'll not only be in a different country, but probably one where the language, culture and stores are entirely different, and you have to make big adjustments to that.

[@alexmckee4683]

Hash has become the more common term for "#" in the UK, but it did used to be known as "pound sign" here too. Recently I have seen a large uptick in younger people calling it "hashtag" thinking that word means the symbol, not the symbol plus a word when used to denote a social media tag. So within a decade I think that term will be more prevalent than "hash".

[@lordylou1]

Americans always claim their lack of international travel is due to the USA being so large and exciting they don't need to travel. However we have the large and amazingly exciting Australia with it's landscape, it's flora and fauna, it's history, yet Australians are exceptionally well travelled. I think it's because Americans are culturally insular and for them America IS the world. This is slightly illustrated by Americans (either in KZbin reaction videos or on holiday), looking at buildings in the UK and saying 'this is older than my country'. No it's not. America existed before European settlers but for Americans it didn't exist untilThe Mayflower got there.

[@marydavis5234]

The US is only 240 years old.

[@drzander3378]

In fairness to Americans, they’re using ‘country’ to mean the modern concept of a nation state, not in the sense of inhabited territory. Americans know perfectly well that there were First Nations people there before the vikings settled in North America.

[@stevebeever2442]

Sorry don't agree. How many holidays does the average Aussie get off work? Yanks barely get any holidays in fact they have the worst workers rights in the entire western world

[@Johnbro8]

It also may have something to do with vacation time away from work. Outside of America in Europe our vacation time is roughly a month, which means better travel opportunities and better life, work balances. Plus the working hours are more regulated in favour of the employee, not the employer. Most people work an 8 hour day, 5 days a week here in the UK. There is an option to do overtime, but at the discretion of the employee. Overtime is financially at a higher hourly rate.

[@doobiedootwo3517]

The colour of the egg is to do with the breed of chicken. Most farms have chickens that lay brown eggs- in varying shades, but some lay white or even blue eggs. Some people do collect coupons - but really its very annoying queueing behind someone cashing in a load of coupons. Mostly our Supermarkets sell goods at reasonable prices👍

[@1967AJB]

The distance between the US and Thailand and the distance between the UK and Thailand is pretty much the same. The reason you can’t imagine it, is down to the US’s constant subterfuge that the US is best and the world has nothing to offer. People from the UK holiday all over the world, distance is not the issue. We go to places with different cultures to experience those culture. It just so happens that in Europe, which is about the size of the US, each country (imagine that the countries are states) has a different culture, customs, language, which are all different experience for the visitor. The US, travelling from state to state, there’s only marginal difference, the same values, the same culture. If the whole of Europe was the same as the UK, we would go somewhere else, we’re used to the UK, we go on holiday to experience new things, not more of the same. Whereas, in the US, you have been told that the rest of the world is inferior to you, and different is bad. Land of the free? Land of the indoctrinated, in many ways, you’re a naive country, as manipulated as a former Soviet Union and China. It’s about time you grew up.

One interesting thing about our eggs is that you will sometimes find the odd feather inside the box! Also, the boxes are made of a sort of moulded cardboard, rather than the polystyrene boxes that you see in the US that make that awful noise that goes straight through me! On the subject of coupons, I remember that they were more popular when I was a kid in the '80s and '90s - my Mother would cut them out of Womens' magazines, newspapers etc, but then in later years, the paper coupons disappeared. Nowadays, a lot of discounts are found through supermarket loyalty cards; where we do the majority of our shopping, they send electronic coupons to your account in the supermarket app each week, and you select the offers you want to use, and then scan them from your phone screen at the check-out. I think one of the main reasons we no longer have paper vouchers is that it is more environmentally friendly to use other methods, and also the technology makes the actual administration of the discounts much easier for the grocery stores.

Generally, white hens lay white eggs and brown hens lay brown eggs. Majority of our commercial hens are Warrens or Ross', Bovan Brown and Lohmanns which are all brown. All down to market demand. Chlorine washing eggs in the USA removes the protective cuticle surface which protects the egg from bacteria. Higher hygiene standards in henhouses and farms in the UK takes away the need to chlorine wash and to store them in fridges. Europe does not generally refrigerate eggs.

[@jonathanwetherell3609]

Refrigerating European eggs is not a god idea unless you then always keep them in the 'fridge. Storing cold eggs at ambient lets them sweat and destroys that coating.

Here in Canada, I cannot remember the last time we've used coupons! Also I think that for years we've known that some eggs are white, others are brown, and that they are basically the same.

I have known quite a few people who have gone to India and also a few to India, and not to vist family either.

Coupons used to be a thing in the UK but not now, on the other hand most of the supermarkets have apps that can offer you discounts if you shop with them and they may (depending on the store) give you points - which you can set against the value of the goods. I use Lidl as my main supermarket (which is a budget supermarket) and if you spend so much you get things like 10% off your next shop and each week they offer about 8 coupons on the app that gives you money off on selected items (usually 10 - 15%).

I'm surprised that you've never heard that the eggs in the US are washed and the eggs in the UK are not, considering you've done several videos where this has been discussed. # is known as the Hash key. Pretty important on your phone, well, over here it is because it's used to confirm the options you've just used, for example if you're asked to enter your date of birth for instance, the voice might say, "You entered XX XX XXXX, if that's correct, press the Hash key". I don't know why you would call it "The Pound Key"? I've seen it used in America to replace the word "Number".

The colour of the egg depends on the breed of hen. A Bluebell Aracuna has lovely pale blue eggs. The Rhode Island Red lays brown eggs as do most UK commercial egg laying breeds.

[@leesmart2157]

[@auldfouter8661]

Back in the 1960's with the move to supermarkets it was found that shoppers thought brown eggs were better and the stores found they could sell them at a bit of a premium when people picked them from a shelf. This was a time when egg production moved almost entirely into battery cages and the brown egg was a screen for this as they looked more " natural". White eggs came mostly from Leghorn hybrids and that type would typically lay 30-40 more eggs per year from a lighter bodied hen than brown egg types. This meant that white eggs were cheaper to produce as the hens involved had better feed conversion rates ( the amount of feed required to produce dozen eggs). Breeders concentrated on improving the genetics of brown egg laying strains and when the Warren Sex-Sal-Link came in ( from France) it was a game changer as it was nearly as efficient as the white egg types. This resulted in an almost universal swing to brown eggs types in large production units.

Hey Ty, basically with the eggs, UK eggs aren't washed when they come out of the chicken (which sounds gross but is because chickens are less likely to have salmonella if they are looked after well, and so an unwashed egg with no salmonella likely comes from a higher welfare chicken) and in the US they are because its like washing off the potential salmonella that could have come from poorer living conditions for the chickens. TL;DR: UK chickens have to live good lives to be free of salmonella, US eggs wash off the almost guaranteed salmonella but also wash off the protective membrane, meaning they have to be refrigerated

[@karlbmiles]

I think it's just that Americans have higher standards that Brits, forget the lifestyle of the chickens. We're not going to bring a filthy egg into the kitchen and leave it out on the counter for children to handle, or allow a piece of poop-tainted shell fall into the omelett. It's it so shocking that the most advanced country in the world actually washes eggs before handling them?

[@WijaLE]

In the UK, I've never seen an eggshell that looked 'dirty' but even so, they're kept in cupboards in the boxes so children young enough to do that wouldn't get to them, and its just so much more convenient. This way, eggs don't take up any fridge space and last so much longer. If you look into welfare and the USDA, the US really doesn't have better standards, rather some of the worst of the first-world countries. Personally, I'd rather have a system that guarantees the produce is well looked after and of a much higher quality. It's for the same reason that we don't bleach dead chickens after all. @@karlbmiles

[@karlbmiles]

In America, chicken carcasses and eggs are washed before selling to the public, an apparently novel concept to the Old World. They are washed with chlorinated water, which you call "bleach". The London water supply is also chlorinated.

The coupon culture in the USA is popular because people can save a lot of money. The coupons in the USA are usually issued by the manufacturers of the goods and not by the retailer.

In the UK, coupons are issued by the retailers. and usually have either expiry dates on them or a statement that not to bused in conjunction with any other promotion. This means that we are limited to only use 1 coupon against an item. Coupons which would affect the final sale total would be actioned by the retailer over individual item coupons. This leaves us not able to use the coupon strategies that the Americans have, as we are just not capable of using them.

Ah! You're obviously a youngster. Forty or fifty years ago it was very unusual to see a brown egg (in towns and cities at least) as most of the large commercial growers used white chicken breeds (white chicken, white egg and brown chicken, brown egg.) However, free-range producers tended to have a variety of breeds and in a box of eggs you might find a mixture of white, brown or even blue eggs. As free-range brown eggs were seen as healthier than the battery-bred white eggs the large producers started breeding brown chickens so that people would think that the eggs they were buying were the same as the free-range eggs.

Our eggs are cleaner than yours, that's the point of the whole thing. Our meat is cleaner too by the way, as your own documentaries have, well, documented. :D You're being squeamish, and I totally get that but it's not rational. Plus you clearly missed the point about the colour of chicken eggs. Ask any chicken farmer in America, or birder and they'll point out that every bird has different colours of eggshell from the next, including different breeds of chicken. It's like dogs and guinea pigs having different fur, or people having different eye colours. It does not affect how healthy an egg is to eat. Although, the way America farms eggs does, in point of fact, affect how they taste. It makes them worse which was one reason more and more ethical egg farming has been popular in Europe and elsewhere. The eggs taste better, are safer to eat and even better than all that, are better for you in terms of nutritional value. Much like properly farmed fields produce more nutrient rich vegetables.

I live on the south east coast of New England here in the United States. Boston Logan (BOS) Is my local airport. From here, I have traveled to many countries all over the world. Americans should not use the usual two week vacation, three weeks if you’re lucky, as an excuse to limit their travel experiences. Yes, you can go to Western Europe for a week or two, and choose one country to explore in depth. But Europe, especially the west, can be a tad expensive. One of my favorite countries turned out to be Morocco. It’s only 40 miles from Gibraltar and Spain, and is a far more exotic destination than what we are used to. It’s far less expensive than the capitol cities of Western Europe, the people are friendly, and most people in the cities speak English, French, and Moroccan Arabic, of course. They don’t use the Euro. The currency is the Moroccan Dirham. What’s the country like? Think California with ocean to the west, mountains (the Atlas Mountains) down the middle, and desert to the east (the Sahara Desert). It has very nice coastal resorts on the Atlantic, skiing in the High Atlas in winter, and camel treks in the desert. The food is delicious and healthy. While going through the countryside you may see children pointing at olive trees with their staffs. You will look to see goats in the trees eating the olives! If you take photos a small gratuity is expected and appreciated. In the markets and shops you will learn how to bargain. The majority religion is Islam, and you will hear the call to prayer throughout the day from the minarets of the mosques. All religions are accepted in Morocco. Morocco is the last Kingdom left in Africa, and was the first African Nation to recognize the independence of the United States of America. During the Spanish Inquisition the King of Morocco opened the kingdom to all refugees from the Iberian Peninsula. Many Europeans choose Morocco for family holidays, quite a few have retired there. This is just one example of an affordable, exotic vacation. There are many more! Look and you shall find! You have no excuse not to travel to different cultures and fully experience them! I leave you with these words of Mark Twain: “Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts.

What difference does this make to people's everyday lives? All that wealth power in the States and yet they can't provide their citizens with basic human rights. Something the USA FAILS AT MISERABLY. The UK has castles - the USA doesn't. The UK has pubs - the USA doesn't. So what? It's meaningless when you can't provide your citizens basic life metrics. The USA has healthcare as a privilege - the UK doesn't. The USA doesn't have workers rights - the UK does. The USA has lax food standards - the UK doesn't. Putting machines in space or building naff theme parks isn't a great achievement.

I've had strong words with an American because she thought that the American drinking age applied to the UK. She wanted me fired and arrested for selling her 18 year old son a beer. Needless to say my boss kicked her out, he let the son stay as he was behaving himself

[@leeshapon]

americans going elsewhere and thinking their laws apply is such a weird phenomenon lol

“Pound sign” is called “hash” in English, hence where hashtag comes from - tagging with a hash symbol 😄 Also, I saw white eggs in a shop last week and was like “these look like cartoon eggs” 😂

[@diarmuidkuhle8181]

To me those look like ordinary eggs. I'm from Germany and pretty much grew up with the 'classic' white egg. Though later brown eggs became more widespread mainly because people associated brown eggs with 'bio' (ie organic) farms and thought these were somehow more healthy than the white ones.

[@crown75au]

U.S. has "cheese" in an aerosol can.. enough said

[@janettesinclair6279]

The UK does have white eggs, but also eggs in several shades of brown, depending on the "type" of the laying hen.

[@elizabethsellors9046]

we do Tesco

[@cutex24]

as i'm sure someone below has already pointed out, most supermarkets have some sort of points/rewards card so that you build up points as you purchase to get rewards at a later date

[@paigewood1848]

Here in the UK, we used to have white eggs, but occasionally there would be a brown egg in the box. It all depends on what the hen had eaten before laying the egg. In short, the people buying the eggs found the brown ones more appealing, so farmers started intentionally feeding their chickens the food that makes them lay brown eggs. Now, it's rare to find a white egg here, in fact I had never seen one in real life until last week, when the cafe I work at accidentally bought a whole box of them. Additionally, on my keyboard, the £ sign is on the 3, the $ and the € are both on the 4, you have to press shift for $ and alt gr for €. The @ is on the ' and the " is on the 2. There's only one chain in the UK that I know of that sends out coupons, and that's Farmfoods, where you take the coupon, and you get £5 off when you spend £50 or whatever. In terms of travel, I've been to several beautiful places in the UK, including Wales and the Peak District, I've also been to Madrid and Tenerife, both of which were incredible but I thought they were too warm. I've never been outside Europe. My brother has been to Thailand multiple times, he loves it there.

[@iantellam9970]

Eggshell colour is dependant on the breed of hen, not what they eat.

[@paigewood1848]

@@iantellam9970 You're right, I guess what I was told as a kid is wrong.

[@mjrdainbramage]

The difference between white, and brown eggs is the color. That's it! Although quite a few people believe that brown eggs are healthier because they are more "natural", which just a matter of what we are used to. In Norway we can have white, and brown eggs mixed in the same carton.

18:00 When examining travel preferences among British holidaymakers, it’s important to note that long-haul destinations like Thailand are not typically part of the average travel itinerary. For most Brits, short-haul trips within Europe are the norm, as they offer convenient access to a variety of cultures, landscapes, and activities. Popular choices include UK seaside resorts like Bournemouth, where families can find static holiday homes and trailer parks, providing an affordable way to enjoy coastal vacations. Many British travelers also flock to Mediterranean destinations such as Spain, Greece, Turkey, and Cyprus for their warm weather and stunning beaches, making these spots ideal for a quick getaway. In contrast, long-haul travels, such as those to Thailand, are generally less common among the British working class. While Thailand does attract some adventurous travelers, including young backpackers, it’s more often seen as an option for those with specific interests or for unique experiences rather than a typical holiday choice. When it comes to family vacations, many Brits prefer accessible locations, like Disneyland Paris in France, which is particularly popular among families. The South of France attracts more affluent travelers, whereas ski resorts in Switzerland, Andorra, and the Alps cater to a wealthier clientele seeking winter sports. Eastern Europe continues to be a favored choice for groups celebrating bachelor or stag parties, thanks to its vibrant nightlife and affordable accommodations. At the same time, the Nordic countries like Sweden and Norway offer a distinct and culturally enriching experience. Moreover, the Netherlands is well-known for its liberal attitudes, including legalized cannabis, which draws a mix of tourists curious about its unique vibe. Other European countries, such as Germany and Belgium, also present exciting opportunities for cultural exploration, culinary experiences, and urban adventures. Overall, while long-haul travel exists within the British holiday experience, short-haul trips remain the primary choice for many, offering a convenient blend of relaxation and exploration right on their doorstep in Europe.

We actually do have coupons, in fact I get a booklet of coupons from Supermarkets posted through our door (postman brings it) with money off, 3 for the price of 2 etc.. We also have "price promise" and that is if you can prove to a store that you can purchase the exact same item cheaper elsewhere, that store will give you it at the lower price. I'm sure it's not as big a thing here in the UK as it is in the US but people do use coupons. Enjoyed this!

[@simonesaidy]

What you call the pound/ tic tac toe board sign we call Hash. Like hash tag 😂😂

[@calvisuals]

We have coupons here. They're just often part of a points system with a store card of some sort. The coupons get sent to your house of to an ap when you've accumulated enough points or at the end of the month.

[@cendriia3738]

Swede here, about coupons: We kind of have them, but like the UK we don’t have deals dealt in paper tickets. The stores have deals like is described in the vid but we can also become a “member” of a store and through that gain additional deals which will either be tied to your bank card or to a membership card.

[@TheAwesomeGamer]

in the uk we call the # sign a "hash," so automatic services on phones say "push the hash symbol/sign"

[@bethanybrookes8479]

I'm British. I do remember seeing coupons, when I was younger. They would print off with the recipt when my mum was paying fir the groceries, and she'd look at it, mutter something along the lines of "I don't even like red bull" and toss it in the bin on the way out of the store. What i see mote often is stuff like nectar points or tesco clubcard points. I think they caught on, instead of coupons, because they weren't specific to one product. You just save them up, and, hey, suddenly your knocking 30 quid off your latest shop at tesco.

[@Mr_Fahrenheit]

We did have coupon’s years ago and green shield stamps that we stuck in books but now most supermarket’s give you a plastic card and points are added to it as you shop then the points can be redeemed for cash or cash off your shopping.

[@wilson2kmax]

Also in our house and I'm sure many others, eggs are kept in our bread shelf in cupboard.

[@bengtolsson5436]

In Sweden, we have coupons, but they are linked to credit card-like cards. Where they are admitted in advance. So when you shop, you swipe the card and get the discount.

[@jennaowen5463]

in the uk if you use a coupon it usually says only one coupon per transaction so you wouldnt be able to use a handful of coupons at a time... unless you go through the till more than once

[@Outnumberedbykidsandcats]

We also have the $ on the number 4 key, but we also have £ on the number 3. I thought the only other difference was that @ and “ are the other way round. I’m fairly sure that on my MacBook those are in the same place as in American keyboard.
