American Reacts to Things You NEED to Know Before Visiting the UK (Part 1)

As an American who has never been to the UK I am extremely curious about what you need to now before visiting. When Americans travel to other countries we tend to not pay much respect to the local culture so I am very excited to correct that today.

It's ironic, Britain gets such grief over colonisation in the 1700s and 1800s (and doubly ironic when it comes from Americans) and yet I'm watching an American who has eaten Indian food not making the connection between Britain and Indian food. I think Tyler would have a shock if he knew the demographics of some areas of Britain.

[@Mark-Haddow]

What grief? Just about every nation has colonised another. India, for example, was numerous regional nations before the British arrived. These warlords would invade each other frequently, occupying the territory they took. The UK ended this, combining the territories into one country, until it was necessary to split it again, creating Pakistan.

[@ulyssesthirteen7031]

Yesy I'm aware that other countries colonised etc as well inter-regional warfare etc but nowhere gets the grief and criticism that Britain does. France, Belgium, Germany and Spain don't. Portugal don't get the grief that British do regarding slavery etc.

[@vijay-c]

Indeed - as a British Indian, a lot of what's considered "Indian food" internationally (at least in the West) was invented by British Asian communities (mostly Bangladeshi). Not that Authentic Indian food is hard to find in the UK, either. Certainly more likely to find a good Indian in the UK as opposed to somewhere more associated with good food like France or Italy in my limited experience, anyway.

Having seen and spoken to American tourists driving in the UK, in rural areas at least, what tends to disturb them is not driving on the left but the narrower roads that are often twisty. This often results in slow driving that causes locals to overtake them on twisty roads and freaks them out further.

The British Empire started in about 1860. Before then India was influenced by the private trading company "British East India Company" which was set up in the 1600s to trade in spices, similar to other locations around the world. They had "manufacturies", trading posts established with permission of the local rulers, which after several massacres of the staff, were fortified and armed. The British government became involved after the Mutiny because of concerns about the BEIC governance. "wot did the BEIC ever do for us?.. "Apart from....."

Scotland has never been part of "Britain" which were the territories of England and Wales, exclusively. Great was added due to Scotland's King (James VI) inheriting England and Wales, in 1603. He wanted to merge the Kingdoms into one. However, Scotland is not limited to 1 Island. It is roughly 900 Islands, spread over 3 archipelagos. This isn't semantics. It's accuracy.

As "Britain" has historical relevance, Great Britain can't be referred to as that previous union. The ordinance survey correctly explains this on their website. The UK, Great Britain and Britain are different names for different territorial situations. The same misunderstanding occurred with the Union Flag, which idiots couldn't differentiate with the Union Jack, a maritime term when the flag flew upon a ship. Because neither are the official flags via law (only precedent) the mistake now sees the Union Flag replaced frequently by the maritime term.

If you're in a hotel there are leaflets and tourist info at reception or in your room but nothing beats someone who has probably lived in the area for decades.

[@evawettergren7492]

I agree. The best times I've had when visiting England (I haven't yet been anywhere else in the UK) have been when I've stayed at a BnB. Especially in places like Bath or out in the smaller towns. I tried a fancy five star hotel in London once (felt I needed to try at least once to know what it was like) and while it was pretty awsome and super cool, I didn't feel like I fit in. Getting in and out through the lobby of that hotel I almost felt like I needed to validate or explain what the heck I was doing there.

Sadly, I don't think B&Bs are comparatively as cheap as they used to be. They always used to be a cheap alternative to hotels, but many seem to have gone more upmarket and can often be more expensive than hotels these days. You only have to watch 'Four in a Bed' to see the sort of prices they now charge, just because they've hung designer wallpaper on one wall, and the breakfast is all "locally sourced" and "free range". Gone are the days of the cheap and cheerful places that served you a bowl of supermarket own brand Cornflakes, a cheap fry-up and a cuppa in the morning and were handy for a low cost weekend away, or as somewhere to break a long journey. Holidaying in the UK is just so expensive these days, it's no wonder that people prefer to holiday abroad.

The funny thing about Scottish notes is that they were very rarely counterfeits due to being more difficult designs than the english notes and also with a much lower amount in general circulation.

In the past, Scottish pounds were worth ninety nine pence in English currency and so were not often accepted in England.

The Scottish and Northern Irish bank notes are the same currency as the rest of the UK- it's just that their local banks issue regional notes. You will have no difficulty using Bank of England issued notes in these countries, and legally the Scottish and N Irish notes can be used throughout the UK- it's just some places might not accept them as they are less familiar with them, and therefore not so confident that you are not passing counterfeits. Personally I haven't used cash in MONTHS, apart from giving to a local neighbourhood charity collection. A 'Bed and breakfast' is a very common type of holiday accommodation. You literallly get what the name implies- a room with a bed/ beds, and a breakfast provided to you in the morning. There are no other meals provided. Traditionally B&Bs are converted large family homes (often old farm houses in country areas), where the owners live on site in their own private apartments, but have a few rooms to let out to guests. Guests are expected to be away from the house for most of the day (excepting some locations such as farms, which might encourage guests to spend some of their day on site.)

A bank note is not actually Legal Tender only a promise to pay a certain sum, as on the note, by the bank that issued it. Only Coin of the Realm is Legal Tender and cannot be refused. Trying to purchase a new car and paying in £1 and £2 (or even £5) coins may cause the seller to object but cannot legally refuse them.

Driving on the left-hand side of the road: don't forget when CROSSING the road as a pedestrian, the traffic will be driving on the LEFT side of the road, so you look right, then left, then RIGHT again before crossing. The opposite applies if you have HALF-CROSSED a busy road and stopped on a traffic island, waiting for the second half of the road to clear and be safe to cross. Then you will look LEFT before crossing. In London, you need an OYSTER CARD to get around by tube, bus, train - the London Transport is integrated. You need to decide how many zones in London you will be frequenting - Zone 1 is the most central. I would recommend Zones 1, 2 and 3.

The food - think about it re the shellfish - we're an island. And not that big an island in the scheme of things. Nowhere here is more than about 70 miles from the sea. Approx 6-7% of the UK population is of Indian or west Asian descent, and for good or ill, Britain has a long history of interaction with the Indian region (even before the empire). In some places, you also get excellent Chinese food, where there is a Chinese population (Newcastle, near where I grew up being a case in point, because it has a Chinatown). If anything, I'd say British people probably have curry more often than fish and chips these days.

Bank of Scotland notes are legal tender in England but some shops do refuse them due to being unfamiliar with the design (I have never experienced the reverse - ie. when spending English notes in Scotland). Isle of Man banknotes, on the other hand, are NOT legal tender in the UK although Bank of England banknotes are legal tender there. Our banknotes are different colours and sizes to aid the blind and visually impaired. They also incorporate braille for the same reason. B&B's exist in the US - I've stayed at several. Typically you are staying in a spare room in a family home although some are like small hotels with several rooms.

Correction: I mis-spoke - Bank of Scotland banknotes are NOT 'legal tender' in England but are coin of the realm. Legal tender only specifies what a creditor must accept in settlement of a debt - ie. more than 20 coins of most denominations are NOT legal tender even though individual coins are.

Bristol for the gorge and oldest iron suspension bridge in the world. (Doesn't sound great but the setting within the gorge and woods is stunning.)

I recall driving in America for the first time and had been prepared to drive around the parking lot until I was comfortable but as it was an automatic (if you are American ensure you request this in the UK as it might not automatically be one). I found focusing on keeping the passenger closest to the curbside made it easy. Just remember you can’t turn on a red light 😮… maybe watch a few KZbin videos on driving in the UK. Cash is no longer needed in the UK. I’m so used it using my card for everything and had misplaced my actual credit card but would use Apple Pay all the time.

If you have difficulty spending a Scottish bank note, take it to any bank and ask to exchange it. Many people in England and Wales have never seen one. I remember serving an American couple who paid me in Scottish pounds and I had to have a supervisor check them. The Americans got extremely arsey. I'm sorry if it inconvenienced them but if I had accepted a counterfeit note I would have been in trouble.

[@Thurgosh_OG]

The funny thing about Scottish notes is that they were very rarely counterfeits due to being more difficult designs than the english notes and also with a much lower amount in general circulation. What we found (used to work in a bank) was that we had to watch for the much more common fake English notes that people tried to use/deposit. This is why Scotland still has £100 notes and England only £50s. Now with plastic notes in use UK wide, I've yet to hear of a fake one (there might have been, i've just never heard of any).

Bed & Breakfast is exactly what it says on the tin. They are mostly private houses that maybe have 1 or more bedrooms to rent out. They also provide a breakfast which can be full English, Scottish, Welsh or Northern Irish. These will have subtle differences or what they call a Continental Breakfast. They will also provide cereals and choice of beverages. After breakfast you must go out and visit whatever city you're in. Then return at night for your bed at a reasonable hour or they may give you a key.

[@TheMeerkat2323]

I remember, quite a few years ago now, I was a recovery (tow truck for the American's) driver, and I had this one job to take a broken down van all the way from London to a small town just the other side of Edinburgh, luckily for me, the company had a car sitting in Dort William (the town at the base of Ben Nevis, the highest mountain in the UK) and that had to come all the way back to London. It took me a fair few hours to drive from this town near Edinburgh to Fort William, but I eventually got there to find half a car and all the broken bits inside of it waiting for me, now, at the time, I had never heard of the car maker, it was Morgan by the way, and when I heard the story about this wreck in front of me, it really shocked me, it was a very old Morgan and it belonged to a member of the European Morgan owners club, who do a rally every year or two in the UK, so they should be used to driving on the correct side of the road, but one day, this car's owner left their overnight hotel and presumably without thinking, just turned right out of the entrance and drove up the wrong side of the road, and literally a few seconds later had this terrible head on smash with a car on the correct side of the road. I'm not a person who enjoys the spotlight, I detest being the centre of attention, I would love to just be someone completely anonymous in a crowd, but no-one provided me with a tarp to cover this wrecked car with, so I had to drive all the way back from Fort William to London with every single person gawping at this once very old, very valuable wooden car (wooden chassis etc but wrapped in metal for extra strength) strapped to the bed of my truck. I enjoyed the money I got from doing that double header trip, but boy was I happy to get that car off the truck back at base. So it definitely is worth remembering to drive on the left when in the UK

[@zoedundas8423]

Bed and breakfasts are often in peoples' own houses and are privately run therefore do your homework first. Much more personal service and usually a better standard than cheap hotels. The breakfasts should be very good.

[@dianeknight4839]

A Bed and Breakfast is what it says, you sleep the night and get your breakfast next day. A bed and breakfast establishment can be anything from a room in someones house to a hotel. Half Board is Bed,Breakfast and Evening meal. Full board is bed,breakfast,lunch and dinner. DO NOT hire a car in London, use publix transport. Full English breakfast is bacon, sausage, tomato,mushrooms, eggs, fried bread., beans, black pudding (blood sausage). You can opt out of any of the items as you wish (I do not like beans) eggs are usually fried but you can ask for poached or scrambled. The white things you asked about were poached eggs. Following this you will also get toast, butter, jam and marmalade and a pot of tea. You will be asked whether you want white or brown toast, tea or coffee. Oh and I forgot to say your breakfast starts with cereal. It is pretty much the same in Scotland except your sausage might be Lorne sausage ( a square sausage meat pattie) and you will get potato (tattie)scones instead of fried bread. To start it will be porride, pancakes or cereal. Similar in ireland but substitute tattoe scones for soda bread. Wales you may be offered Lava bread (say no its made from seaweed and vile) Speaking of Wales the thing you were looking at with the tea soaked fruits is Barra Brith ( pronounce with less emphasis on the vowel) It is a Welsh speciality fruit loaf and a popular tea time treat, usually sliced and buttered. Tips I would give to our American cousins take the chat volume down a few decibels, do not get too up close and personal the British people have a great respect for ones personal space. DO NOT interfere with the guard or the horses at any of the Palaces. These guards are not there for show or selfies with tourists they are serving soldiers carrying out their duties, the ropes are for you to stay behind not hop over or under for photo opportunities. Same goes for Castles, Palaces, Stately Homes and museums DO NOT pass the ropes, touch exhibits, paintings or sit on the furniture. Always check whether photography is allowed. As you may know Police in the UK are not armed but there are exceptions like at the Royal Palaces and the Houses of Parliament. Please also note that the ' Beefeaters' at the Tower of London might wear strange clothes and tell you the History but they are first and foremost guards. You will also find that the Scots and Irish will accept the English Bank notes but not vice versa. Only Northern Ireland has the UK pound, Southern Ireland uses the Euro.

No, all over Europe there is an option for bed and breakfast. This option means that you have an option to pay for the combination of a hotel room and breakfast in the morning. You can also have an option to have all-inclusive, which means that every meal is included. It is also possible to have an option to just pay for the hotel room. Bed and breakfast is very popular because it gives you the opportunity to have your other meals somewhere else.

Driving on the 'wrong' side is EASY as long as you have a car that's equipped with a steering wheel on the correct side. It works like this:- When you're driving an American car with it's left-hand wheel on the right-hand side of the road, you are personally sitting more-or less- in the middle of the road. You just follow the centre line. Conversely, when in the UK with a right-hand wheel on the left side of the road, you find yourself sitting in almost the same place, in the middle off the road. In both cases, admittedly you are a little to one side of centre rather than the other but the difference is so small, you quickly get used to it. I speak from the experience of arriving in America on my first week of a new (international )job and being told to hire a car at La Guardia and drive to Rochester NY. I was so busy with thinking about the job I was there to do that it never crossed my mind until I got to the Plaza Hotel that I was driving on the right for the first time. It was only on thinking about it afterwards I realized what was going on. (I have to admit your 4-way junctions and right turn on red still scare the heck out of me.)

The Bank of England produces notes for England & Wales,that can be used across the UK. In Scotland you have three separate banks that issue notes, and in Northern Ireland you have a further three banks that issue notes. Technically these have to have enough reserves to cover all notes they produce, and the Bank of England has to try to make sure they do, but there are lots of things they can't force the other six banks to do. This means, although they all produce £ Sterling, there xan be a reluctance by some in England & Wales to accept their notes...mostly because they will rarely get to see them, and there are siz of each denomination in addition to tge standard Bank of England notes that mean it is easier to pass of forgeries as real. The person accepting them will only notice too late, and be out of pocket financially.

The seafood you saw was Mussels - lovely in garlic, wine and cream (moules marniere) we do local seafood too - brown crab, potted shrimp as well as Mackerel, cod, haddock, skate etc etc. Indian food ( and Pakistani food) is British food - there are so many British people of Indian descent - they are us - our countries were linked for so many years.
