I always thought Lydon was drawing parallels between the devotion to the Queen as being akin to the personality cults that exist in fascist societies rather than outright calling the Queen fascist; it being more a statement on British society being flawed in its devotion to one woman whilst so many working class kids had no future at all. The songs original title was 'No Future' and was changed by McClaren to be more provocative

@@KevPage-Witkicker Its Line 1 - 'God Save the Queen.' Line 2 - The Fascist Regime' (No 'And' linking them together). I think its an allegory to draw a comparison. Whilst Lydon's lyrics were blunt and provocative they were seldom meant to be literal. Lydon is not condemning Pauline for having an abortion with the lyric 'She was a no-one who killed her baby' in Bodies , he is vocalizing the prejudice and judgement Pauline experienced and internalized, in order to refute this. Lydon has also refuted the literal reading of 'Anarchy for the UK' as being more of a statement about wanting to be a disruptor and change the way society views things, rather than literally wanting to live in Anarchy and being the Anti-Christ. "Anarchy is a terrible idea". "I never was (an Anarchist)" Back to GStQ. Its possible that Lydon literally meant that the Jim Callaghan Labour Government of 1977 were actual fascists; but for me I think it was simply a statement about how insane it was to revere someone who in Lydon's words was 'Just a piece of cardboard they drag around on trolleys' and spend so much time and money on celebrating effectively an arbitrary length of time achieved in a meaningless position rather that deal with the fact that the entire country was f**ked and many had no future.

We are trained to never show up our Mums in public & we will judge you for it, despite our best efforts 😂 It's also a plot point in an old SOE war movie, the American spy gives himself away in a French cafe with his 'incorrect' use of cutlery.

I can walk into a redtsurant and EVEN before hearing them spesk, can (usually) spot Americans straight away. They cannot use cutlery properly... Its like watching children eat. They hardly use a knife and pointlessly switch the fork from hand to hand. In the UK, Europe and Australasia we get taught how to sit at mealtimes, using the knife and fork correctly. I have travelled to many parts of the US over 40 + years and am constantly fascinated watching (most) Americans using 'silverwear'. Also, bathrooms or shower rooms have the switches outside or the pull cords are inside to avoid wet hands contacting electricity (because our power, 220-240V, is double that used in the US), so an kill ! 🤔😎

As most people are saying in the comments, they got a lot wrong in this video....in fact, most of it. I suspect they were comment baiting (by saying ALL Brits do or have things) or didn't realise people were joking when they told them stuff they accepted as fact. As you correctly assumed, these are yuppies who probably hung out with other yuppies. If they were with bell ringers they are almost certainly heavily religious (hence their anti-abortion dig) and they got a very narrow experience. Brits would much rather hang out with you guys than those tools, and you will find American culture isn't alien to Brits as most of the best TV, film and music is considered American. You might be mildly surprised by some things but you will find that you will be just fine with hardly any adjustments. These videos try to make you think other cultures are aliens. These are just entitled yuppies who saw very little of the true England and saw one case of something and assumed it was like that everywhere. Just remember, AC isn't standard in UK, if it's hot you will probably just have to open a window.

In regards to dogs in pubs and cafes. Not everyone knows everyone's dogs. My village pub has a river running right by it. In the Spring and Summer people on long boat holidays park their boat up and come into the pub for a drink and a nice meal. They all bring their dogs in. So we get a lot of strangers with dogs coming in. It's all good though, everyone gets along. The pub itself has 3 dogs wandering around. And we don't have paper money anymore, it's polymer money now. You can't tear it. We have pill cord switches in bathrooms as light switches and wet hands don't mix. So a pull cord is safe.

Many churches no longer ring bells. Partially because you need a team of skilled bell ringers to do it, partially because maintaining the bells is expensive. So, they either play a recording or more likely don't have any bells. You need a club for the churches with multiple bells for the bell ringers to learn and practice the different "peals" of bells to keep up the tradition and bang out the tunes.

Im not sure where they got the idea that we give our heights in centimetres, the vast majority of the time heights are given in feet and inches. As for traffic lights, yellow on its own means it's about to turn red. Just before green, red and yellow appear together, so there's no risk of confusing the two.

Voltage is why we have pull cords inside bathrooms or a switch outside the bathroom. Our 220 voltage is lethal. So by law, you can not have any standard electrical outlets or switches in a bathroom. Water and 220V don't cohabitate very well. If your ceiling mounted pull cord is in contact with water from your bathroom? Then drowning is probably your primary concern, not the lighting.

Isn't there a six Pence? There used to be but that and many other coins (shilling, threepenny etc) disappeared when we ditched empirical for metric in the 70's. There was a time when there were 240p in a pound rather than 100. We tend to mix our use of empirical and metric. So we still commonly use ft and inches to describe our height but forms require centemeters. It's even common to use Celsius to describe cold weather and Fahrenheit to describe hot weather. So -1C in winter and 96F in summer.

In regards to freedom of speech. I found the US has less freedom of speech. I worked at a car dealership when I lived in the US. A guy I worked with got fired for calling a Japanese car a "Jap car". It was deemed offensive in the US. You've seen British TV and the things they say. Jimmy Carr is always joking about how the royal family whacked princess Diana and other wild stuff like that. People go to royal events and shout all sorts.

Ignore what they said about pedestrians. I am guessing that they mean at intersections. Because you have jay walking laws, you also have "crossings" at most intersections. We don't have Jay walking so most intersections are not controlled crossings but most people will cross at intersections. We do have pedestrian crossings, some are traffic light controlled, others are "zebra crossings". You need to familiarise yourself with how these all work and the best way to do that is to quickly read the highway code. It's online and will teach you about crossings, road signs etc etc. Driving here is 90% like driving in the states. You just need to grasp that 10%. Much of which you will pick up just by going with the flow. But do not, when you are driving, ignore pedestrians nor as a pedestrian expect cars to ignore you. Oh and do not turn right (or in our case left), on a red signal. We don't do that. Red is red no matter which direction you are going at the intersection.

FYI: Although we DON'T have any jaywalking law in BRITAIN, we DO have it in the UK. In Northern Ireland (and the Republic of Ireland too), jaywalking is a 'thing' and you can get an 'on-the-spot' fine in the main city's. Many Brits don't even know the law exists and are generally given a verbal warning by the Garda on the first occasion.

All vehicles in UK have to pass a safety check every year. They have to meet the same standard as the year they were made.

Lights in bathrooms are pull cords so you don't use a 240 v switch with wet hands...

9 - Bathrooms have pull cords for the lights because your hands are likely wet and the string won't conduct electricity. Sealed switches solve this problem but the pull cord is cheaper and just as effective. It's also easier to find in the dark, no need to drag your hand over a wall trying to find a switch.

In the UK, any vehicle over 3 years old then MUST have an annual MOT (Ministry of Transport) check. It ensures that the vehicle meets road safety and environmental standards. If it fails the testing, you have to correct the issues otherwise the vehicle cannot be driven on the road.

Traffic Lights not quite Lads. What you called yellow we say Amber. But the sequence is Red . Red/Amber Green . Amber. Red. So if Amber is on alone they are changing to Red, if Red and Amber are on together it is changing to Green

There are no ‘clubs’; you join a ‘Tower’. My wife rings for the local church, the bells weave in and out of each other following patterns similar to those used in lace making. North America have Change Ringing also.

The reason there are no old cars is that we’re a very very damp country and cars just rust to bits. Cars over 20 years old are not that common

A yard here in the UK is concrete or soil. A garden usually has a lawn with maybe some flowers in flowerbeds - sometimes raised for easier access by people in wheelchairs or arthritis - set unto or near the lawn, with footpaths around the flowerbeds. We may also have a shed for storing gardening equipment, or a greenhouse for growing young plants or veg. Some ftont gardens have been concreted over to park cars there, but back gardens may have decking, or a patio incorporated near the back of the house. Yards are most often associated with businesses or railways, or stabling. Some older houses may just have a small paved yard at the back and flowers in pots, garden urns, or window boxes if space is limited, and are usually walled around the perimeter. Front gardens may have low decorative walls or wooden fences, with or without gates at the access* point leading to the front door of the house, and / or leading to a side or back door to the house. (level with the pavement by the roadside*).

Bell-ringing aka campanology, practically every church in the UK will have a team of bell-ringers; then there are bell ringing competitions.

Smoking is banned in pubs. It looks like we smoke more in the UK because you can only do it in the street. It's still a minority thing.
